Chapter 1079: Chapter 879: Waiting for Him to Return

The Third Prince consulted the Emperor on some issues regarding knife techniques, for he usually liked carrying a short knife when going out, which allowed him to enjoy himself and also to protect himself, while the Crown Prince just watched how patiently his brother taught their siblings.

There was not a trace of pride from being praised, only a sincere guidance, treating them exactly as if they were his own brothers.

Therefore, the Crown Prince found himself unable to feel jealous or hateful towards his brother. If his brother had appeared boastful as a successful person, he might have wanted to challenge him to a duel, but he was being so humble yet so capable.

After the sons had sparred enough, the Emperor looked at the time, realizing it was getting late, and it was already time for lunch. He then called his sons over, "The sparring is over, come join your father for lunch. It has been a long time since we dined together, and I have some issues I would like to discuss with you."

Ye Ge also glanced at the time. At this hour, Nan Feng must be at home waiting for him to come back for a meal, right?

However, just now in the field, he also saw a palace maid from Huaxi Palace come over, probably sent by Nan Feng, so since Nan Feng knew where he had gone, she probably wouldn’t worry.

Now, after the sparring session, the Fifth and Sixth Princes had begun to admire Ye Ge. The Sixth Prince, seeing Ye Ge hesitating, couldn’t help but pull him along, "Eldest brother, come, let’s go have a meal with Father."

...

The Emperor of Dazhou was much more frugal than that of Dajin, as he had experienced being displaced during his youth and understood the importance of food. So, he only allowed the chefs to prepare four or five dishes per meal and would give any leftovers to the Eunuchs to eat.

In his eyes, wasting food was extremely shameful.

Now, as he dined with his sons, he had only prepared about ten dishes, and the sons, having exerted themselves on the training field, had quite an appetite.

Since it was their first time meeting Ye Ge, they inevitably stared at him during the meal, expecting a Military Official like him to have unrefined manners and an unsightly way of eating.

But although Ye Ge ate quickly, his manners were not unsightly; it was evident he had received strict upbringing as a child.

Thus, Ye Ge inadvertently passed another test.

The Emperor knew what his sons were thinking and couldn’t help but smile, "Didn’t I tell you on the training field that I had a dilemma? I wanted to get your opinions. Currently, we and Dajin Country use different scripts. Do you think we should have our people learn the script from Dajin?"

As soon as the Emperor posed the question, the princes put down their chopsticks.

After all, dining with the Emperor meant that filling your stomach was out of the question.

"Crown Prince, you speak first," the Emperor gave the Crown Prince his due respect.

"Father, I’ve considered this issue before. I think it’s best not to adopt their script. Our Dazhou has undergone several dynasties, accumulating a profound and extensive script. If anything, they should learn our script," the Crown Prince said.

The suggestions from the Third, Fifth, and Sixth Princes were the same as the Crown Prince’s.

The Emperor then turned to Ye Ge.

Ye Ge thought for a moment, "Father, I believe it is feasible to learn the script of Dajin. ’Not knowing the language of the barbarians, one cannot cope with them.’ By learning their script, we can understand their culture and use their own strategies to govern them. That is my view."

The Emperor couldn’t help but stroke his beard, then burst out laughing, "It seems the eldest prince’s views align with mine, hahaha!"
