Abandoned Wife Heads the House: Farming with Adorable Baby

Chapter 2379 Strange Rules
This, this emperor looks like the same person!

Bai Ruozhu quickly glanced at Jiang Yichun and the others. As expected, everyone was a little surprised, because the emperor's eyebrows were somewhat similar to Fang Luo's imagination!
Especially those eyes. The emperor's eyes are not as wide apart as Reiko's. The distance between the eyes is similar to that of the people from the Central Plains.But his eyelids are sunken, which is exactly the same as Fang Luo!
No, to be precise, he is more like Fang Luo's father Fang Qing.

Others were not as surprised as Bai Ruozhu because they had not seen Fang Qing in the illusion as many times as Bai Ruozhu did.

Jiang Yichun also saw Fang Qing, but his face was used to being cold, so there wasn't much change.

Bai Ruozhu quickly calculated in her mind, is there any connection between the emperor and the shark?
This is not impossible. Fang Qing can go from the Shark Island to Danliang Kingdom, and there are also sharks who can go to the Fusang Kingdom.Perhaps the emperor's ancestor was related by blood to Fang Qing.

Fortunately, Fang Luo was not present these two days, otherwise once he faced the Emperor, the situation would be somewhat unclear.

Everyone bowed to the emperor, and the emperor politely told them that there was no need to bow more.Similarly, the emperor can also speak Chinese, which is much better than General Akamatsu's, but cannot compare with the Chinese accent of Shen Zongyi.

"Thank you for your hard work for coming all the way." The emperor said politely.

The second prince next to him snorted coldly and said, "Father is too kind. They don't understand etiquette and rules, so they should be punished."

The emperor's face darkened, "Everyone who comes here is a guest. It's normal that they don't know. Don't mention this matter again."

"Father!" the second prince shouted, "How could their father go to see General Chisong first? It would be polite for such an envoy not to kill him directly."

Bai Ruozhu narrowed his eyes. The second prince was so arrogant before he ascended the throne. He even dared to contradict the current emperor. He was really a fortress.

On the other hand, the Emperor has a kind face and does not look like a grumpy person. This is probably why he is so easy to bully.

But in Danliang Kingdom, doesn't the prince succeed to the throne only after the previous emperor dies?
It seems that there is nothing wrong with the emperor's health, his complexion is not bad, and he is less than fifty years old. Why did he give up the throne to the second prince so quickly?

"Huairen, you will succeed to the throne as the emperor next month, and you are about to grant amnesty to the world. Why not show your kindness by being tolerant to the guests from the Danliang Kingdom in the Central Plains?" the emperor said gently.

The second prince finally nodded and agreed, but looked at Bai Ruozhu and the others with very unkind eyes.

Bai Ruozhu secretly observed the eldest prince for a few times. During this period, he didn't say a word and kept his head lowered. He looked very low-key, but Bai Ruozhu noticed that his eyes were wandering and his mind was not focused on the conversation between the emperor and the second prince.

The Fuso Palace is also complicated, so it would be better for them to stay away.

Then Li Jin handed over the gift list and said some words of congratulations. The emperor was very happy to find that there were Buddhist scriptures in the gift list and immediately asked someone to take it out without even looking at the other items.

At this time, the eldest prince suddenly raised his head and said with a gentle smile: "My father will convert to Buddhism after he abdicates next month. His favorite thing is Buddhist scriptures. Thank you."

The second prince showed disdain and muttered something. Bai Ruozhu had a good ear, so she couldn't understand what he said in Fuso language, but she silently wrote it down and asked Lingzi when she went back.

The emperor seemed to be reclusive, and after thanking everyone, he did not ask them to stay for dinner. Instead, he said that he would arrange for them to discuss specific trade matters with them.

The group of people said goodbye and walked out of the palace. When they were halfway there, the eldest prince caught up with them. "Sir, please wait a moment!" The eldest prince spoke Chinese well.

Bai Ruozhu and the others stopped and looked back at him.

"What's wrong with the eldest prince?" Jiang Yichun asked.

The eldest prince walked a little hastily, his cheeks were slightly red, and he was also a little out of breath.

"I just want to take the liberty to ask, why were you so surprised when you saw my father just now? Wasn't it because my father had some physical abnormality?" The eldest prince asked nervously.

Bai Ruozhu narrowed his eyes, "Why does the eldest prince think so?"

The eldest prince smiled a little shyly, "To be honest, before you came, my second brother had already sent someone to report your situation, and mentioned that some of you were in charge of medical affairs in the palace of Danliang Kingdom. I heard that Zhongyuan's medical skills are very good. It’s so powerful that I can’t help but feel a little worried.”

There is nothing wrong with this explanation. Indeed, Jiang Yichun introduced Bai Ruozhu like this at General Chisong's banquet last night.

Many dignitaries were present at the time, so it was normal for word to spread.

"Your Highness has misunderstood. In our Danliang Kingdom, a prince will succeed to the throne only when the emperor is old or dies of illness. Because we have heard before that the second prince will succeed next month, so we see that the emperor is still so young. , I was a little surprised." Bai Ruozhu explained.

The eldest prince breathed a big sigh of relief and smiled a lot. "Fuso Kingdom has a rule that the emperor must abdicate before the age of 50. Although my father is 45 years old, he is devoted to Buddha. Seeing that the second emperor brother can take charge of his own affairs, he I want to abdicate as soon as possible and convert to Buddhism.”

Li Jin and Mo Beishan were very surprised because they didn't expect that Fusang Country still had such rules. However, Bai Ruozhu and Tang Feng understood it. After all, in modern times, leaders have to retire when they reach old age.

As for Jiang Yichun, he has gotten along with Bai Ruozhu more and his thinking has improved a lot, so he understands this very well.

The eldest prince saluted everyone, "I'm sorry to bother you all. I'm worrying too much."

Bai Ruozhu and the others returned the gift and left the palace immediately.

On the way, everyone also talked about the rules of the Fuso Kingdom. Li Jin shook his head and said: "The Emperor is in his prime, wouldn't it be wrong to abdicate? This rule is not good."

Bai Ruozhu rolled her eyes at him and said, "There's nothing wrong with it. When people get older, their bodies and energy are not enough. It may not be a good thing to drag them down in that position. In history, there were many emperors who were old and sick, and their heirs eventually fought for the throne. , or relatives or eunuchs take the opportunity to control the government, which is not good for the country or the people."

Li Jin looked at her with her mouth wide open and a look of shock on her face, probably thinking how could she say such an outrageous thing?
Bai Ruozhu curled her lips, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, she can say whatever she likes, does it matter?

"In our martial arts family, there is also a family with a similar rule. The head of the family must abdicate before the age of 50, and then go to live in seclusion in the clan's secret place. He is not allowed to interfere in any family affairs." Mo Beishan suddenly said, "Although that family is not in Jianghu Ranked in the top three, but enduring, it is one of the oldest families. I used to think their rules were strange. The head of the family would enter a secret realm to live in seclusion when he was 50 years old. Wouldn’t it mean that he has not had grandchildren for a few years? But now I think about it. Only after thinking about it do I understand their intentions.”
