Chapter Thirty: The Imperial Palace

  "Your Majesty, it's time for us to leave." Although the days spent here were so endearing, they still had their own affairs to attend to. The Emperor was not just this benevolent old man after all. Apart from here, the Emperor remained the one who commanded the mountains and rivers.

  Ba Li Yan Qi looked back at the small town behind her. This place had a different meaning for Pei Ming Xuan. It was where he and Yuan Shu Huan, that little girl, first met. Speaking of which, Pei Ming Xuan's life was saved by Yuan Shu Huan. Who knows if it was fate or karma. Or perhaps everything was already predetermined from that moment on.

  This time, I saw Yuan Shu Huan again. I always feel that Yuan Shu Huan is a bit weaker than before. That gentle and dependent feeling in Pei Ming Xuan's arms actually makes people think it's harmless. Is this the ruthless and decisive Yuan Shu Huan? Bai Li Yan Qi just feels a little unbelievable...

  "Grandpa, where are we going?" Pei Huamo asked. Tong Zhen's eyes were full of curiosity. Grandpa took him out after dinner without a word. His mother and father didn't stop them. He saw confusion, nostalgia, and determination in the old man's eyes. Although the confusion and determination coexisted, it seemed contradictory.

  "This is the most prosperous place under heaven." That place is the most prosperous in the world, but at the same time it's also the ugliest place in the world. It's so ugly that even he himself feels increasingly disgusted. In fact, this world itself is a contradictory body, isn't it? Everyone including oneself has contradictions...

  Even if it seems that Yuan Shu Huan is living freely and unrestrained, isn't there a contradictory place in his heart? Baili Yanqi used her cloak to protect the child in her arms, then galloped away on horseback...

  What else do you want to ask, Pei Hua Mo can only quietly bring along. At this speed, if he opens his mouth, the wind might blow into it. All things can wait until they see them with their own eyes. Only what one sees with their own eyes is real, isn't it?

  Even at times, things seen with one's own eyes may not be real. Otherwise, Yuan Shu would not have been handed over to them since childhood. What is called judgment of such simple matters? Judgment can be said to be a person's most important ability. If one can judge correctly, all this is actually not a big problem.

  Judge what you have.

  Judge what you want to get.

  Judge what you pay for and ask for.

  Judge whether this thing should be done or not.

  Judge what you should do.

  Judge the good and bad of a person's affairs.

  In fact, people spend their whole lives judging.

  It's just that most people haven't discovered their own judgment.

  Yu Shu Huan, however, has been teaching them to learn how to judge since they were young. Although some things cannot be distinguished as good or bad with just two words, most can be judged from one's own perspective. The two words "pros and cons" are the most fundamental in making judgments. Yu Shu Huan is now considered a businessman... or rather, it should be said that way. Each of us is a businessman. What we operate is our own life.

  Merchants doing business will always have pros and cons. Judging by this principle, there are still some gains to be made. Whether good or bad, such judgments must come from the heart. Because humans have an instinct to avoid evil and seek good fortune...

  There are many old sayings that can prove this point, aren't there? For example, what's honey to one person is poison to another. And also, a thousand pieces of gold cannot buy a good reputation. Such sayings are the basis for judgment and can be considered as famous quotes.

  The most prosperous place in the world? Pei Hua Mo thought with some expectation. Although Pei Hua Mo and his people had been living in a secluded place for many years, this did not mean that Pei Hua Mo knew nothing about it. Although he was so unfamiliar with this world, but actually many places are similar. The only difference is perhaps just the name...

  Although Yuan Shu Huan did not claim to be king or overlord, there is one thing that can be confirmed: Yuan Shu Huan was the local emperor of that place. In that place, Yuan Shu Huan had supreme authority that no one could offend. Is this fundamentally different from the Emperor?

  It's just that the stage has changed to a wider world, a world that Pei Hua had never come into contact with before.

  He's still just a child after all. The attendant thought to himself. In fact, most people should be thinking the same way as the attendant. Behind this thought is another thought. That is, if the young emperor wants to spoil him, then so be it. This child can't stir up any waves no matter what. Raising him isn't bad either.

  When they returned to the imperial palace, Pei Hua Mo had already fallen asleep, completely unconscious. But Pei Hua Mo was still a very well-behaved child, even his sleeping posture was neat and tidy, not moving at all. On the other hand, Bai Li Yan Qi couldn't help but smile wryly. This journey was undoubtedly dull and tiring. But this child really...

  Let the people around you be silent. Baili Yanqi returned to the palace with her child, holding him in her arms. These days have become a habit. However, the imperial palace is not as safe as the Wangfu. I forgot that place was not the Wangfu either. It's just Pei Mingxuan's separate courtyard.

  It's actually better than the Xuan Wang Fu, not just because of the equipment and decorations, but also because that place is really heavily guarded. You can tell that Pei Ming Xuan attaches great importance to that place and the people he meets there. Why do I keep thinking about Yuan Shu Huan today? Is this girl really that unusual?

  To be honest, the Yu Shu Huan from three years ago left a deep impression on people, but she absolutely didn't have such charm. These five years made Yu Shu Huan even more enchanting... Originally, she was already a sudden and unexpected rise to fame. Now, she has added another characteristic - coming and going like the wind. Just like nobody knows when Yu Shu Huan appears, when Yu Shu Huan disappears, nobody can find her either.

  But these are no longer things that this old man can interfere with. Those young people all have their own things to do now. This old man just needs to find someone to hand over power to and he's done.

  All the descendants of the Bai family passed through Bai Yanqi's mind, but in the end, they still stopped at Pei Mingxuan. If Pei Mingxuan's true identity was revealed, then no one would be more suitable for that position than him. Unfortunately, Pei Mingxuan probably wouldn't take on such a responsibility...

  Under Bai Mingxuan's foil, others become rubbish at a glance. People are compared to people and goods are compared to goods, with Bai Mingxuan and the contrast of these children, others will only become more inconspicuous.

  Get rid of those out-of-place thoughts in your mind. Baili Yanxi fell asleep on the bed like this.

  The next day when he woke up, he found that the child's forehead was a bit hot. After calling the imperial physician to diagnose Pei Hua Mo, Baili Yanxi changed into his court attire and went to attend the morning court session. Yesterday, he had taken the child out for a walk in the wind all night, but he had forgotten that Pei Hua Mo was just a child after all. Although these children were considerate, they were still just children after all.

  "What's going on in there?" Ba Li Ronghua looked at him with some curiosity. The emperor had clearly gone to the imperial court in good health, so who was the person inside who was ill? If it wasn't an important person, why were these people so tense? Apart from the emperor, who had been living alone for many years, who else in the Nurturing Heart Palace was worth making these people so anxious.

  "It's the child that His Majesty brought back last night. He seems to have a fever." Last night, His Majesty personally brought this child back and even slept together with him. No matter how you look at it, it's clear that His Majesty attaches great importance to this child. Not even the princes receive such treatment. I'm really curious about who this child is.

  It's unlikely that I have another younger brother. However, Father Emperor doesn't seem to be enthusiastic about this aspect. My youngest brother is already 12 years old. Since his birth, Father Emperor hasn't taken any concubine to bed. Moreover, there's no record of him going on a trip, so where would he have the opportunity to have another child?

  "It's okay, you can go down." Pei Hua Mo looked at the crowd of people beside her who were somewhat frightening. She felt that this matter was really terrible. They were all on average one nanny with three children. Such a situation Pei Hua Mo had never encountered before. Most of the time Yuan Shu Han required them to be self-sufficient...

  Doing one's own things is a good habit. Yuan Shu Huan attaches great importance to this aspect of cultivation. She doesn't want to raise a group of children who can't even dress or feed themselves after leaving the house and parting with their servants. This isn't her original intention. Such useless people are indeed disliked by others.

  These kids have really undergone wilderness survival training. Although it was a bit tiring at the time, the results were still very good. At least that's true for Yuan Shu Huan.

  "The young master is still running a fever." The palace maid said with some helplessness. As expected, children are indeed spoiled. Especially one as young as this little master. He's the most difficult person to serve in this palace. Although the others aren't much better either.

  Pei Huamo touched his own forehead. The wind was blowing too hard yesterday, so he must have caught a cold. Then Pei Huamo took out a bottle of medicine from his bosom and had the palace maid bring water to take one pill. "Don't all crowd around here, I'll be fine soon." They themselves were medical students, they should know how to handle such things, why wouldn't he be clear about it?

  "Little master, this is unacceptable!" The imperial physician on the side was already yelling. What's wrong with this little master? Is this medicine something that can be taken randomly? Moreover, the emperor asked him to come and treat this little master. Who knew this little master would be so reckless? Probably only such a description would suffice. This is absolutely the limit of recklessness.

  At this time, the medicine that the imperial doctor had ordered to be decocted was also brought over. However, the imperial doctor didn't know whether he should give it to the young master or not. Who knew what kind of medicine the young master had eaten just now? If the medicinal properties clashed, he wouldn't be able to afford losing such an important person.

  "Minor Bupleurum Decoction... This doesn't seem to match the symptoms at all." Pei Hua sighed and happened to scare off Bai Lihua, who was just about to walk over here. The child had thought it was just a prank, but how could a mischievous kid possibly know so clearly what medicine the imperial physician prescribed? Wasn't this really just teasing oneself?

  The doctor's face was a bit long. As an old doctor, being accused by a child of not using the right medicine is unbearable, even if it's just a young master.
