The Thirteenth Princess - C408 accidental occurrence

The south of the river had become warmer, and the fishermen at the docks had changed into rough blouses.

The Fifth Prince gazed at the boats and the people coming and going on the riverbank, then lowered his head thoughtfully.

“Fifth Prince, you’ve already been standing here for the entire day, hurry back to your tent and drink some water to rest.” Assistant Minister Li Han walked over and said to the Fifth Prince with a smile.

Hearing Master Li speak, the Fifth Prince came back to his senses, and smiled to Li Han, and then nodded his head.

Since the salt transportation officially began, the Fifth Prince moved his living quarters from the inn to the dock. A simple tent had been set up at the pier, and the office was there. The conditions were difficult, but he never complained. Every time the officials of Jiangnan saw him, they would be moved by the Fifth Prince’s spirit. He didn’t expect that the prince would be able to withstand such hardships.

When the Fifth Prince returned to his tent to rest, the retainers at his side hurriedly served him the tea they had brewed.

He raised the teacup on the table and carefully lifted the teacup’s lid. He blew on it and the warm air from the cup came through the cracks, bringing with it a refreshing fragrance.

“Tonight’s journey is the last trip, right?” The Fifth Prince drank a mouthful of tea, then placed the cup on the side and raised his head to ask Li Han who was standing beside him.

Li Han walked up, bowed towards the Fifth Prince, and answered with a slight nod of his head: “That’s right, all the salt will be transported out of the dock tonight.

As Li Han spoke, he looked up at the Fifth Prince, smiled, and said: “The Fifth Prince has been busy these past few days, and can finally take a break.”

Hearing Li Han’s words, the Fifth Prince slowly sat up. “He smiled lightly, but shook his head at Li Han. As the ancients say, those who travel hundreds of miles are in their forties or nineties. Now that we have reached the final stage of our journey, this is the most crucial moment. We can’t let down our guard at all. However, since the weather is getting warmer, and the number of people on the ship is increasing, many bandits have a chance to take advantage of this opportunity. ”

The Fifth Prince’s face was fair and pure, and he was only a youth that had just passed the age of weakness. However, he spoke with a mature and experienced manner, as if he had been through many trials and tribulations. He must have grown up in the Imperial City and experienced things differently from others. That was why he looked like this.

Li Han nodded to the Fifth Prince and couldn’t help but look out of the tent.

The workers at the dock were busy loading all the salt onto the boat. As soon as the sun went down and the wind changed, they would start their journey to get the last of the salt out of the harbor.

“Fifth Prince, before I knew it, you’ve been in charge of salt transportation in Jiangnan for almost half a year.” Li Han turned his head to look at the Fifth Prince and could not help but let out a bitter laugh. He cupped his hands towards the Fifth Prince and said: “Fifth Prince, you have been worrying so hard these past few days.

When the Fifth Prince saw Li Han’s serious expression, he had thought that Li Han had something urgent. When Li Han finished speaking, the Fifth Prince could not help but laugh out loud.

“It’s my responsibility to help our country and our people. Why would it not be hard for me?” Li Han laughed blandly, raised his head, glanced at the Fifth Prince, and continued speaking to him: “It’s just that I’ve already been in Jiangnan for a long time, and even spent the New Year here. I wonder if my royal father and mother are well and healthy right now in the capital?”

After Li Han heard the Fifth Prince’s words, he hurriedly cupped his hands towards him and said, “Your majesty and Empress are revered by tens of thousands. Fifth Prince doesn’t have to worry. ”

Hearing Li Han’s words, the Fifth Prince nodded and continued to speak with Li Han. “A few days ago, my Sixth Sister was married. As your brother, I can’t go back and watch her get married. I can only wish her happiness in this place. ”

Although it was far away from Jiangnan, it was still a big matter for the princess to get married into the imperial court, and Li Han heard about the matter of the Sixth Princess getting married into the imperial court a few days ago. On the day of the Sixth Princess’s marriage, the Fifth Prince went to the Jiu family and bought a jin of wine, and only returned after drinking it until early in the morning. He was probably happy in his heart, and wasn’t at Sixth Princess’s side, so he could only use this method to celebrate for the Sixth Princess.

“The Sixth Princess is made of gold and jade, the The Mansion of the Marquis of Changting is also a great clan. Li Han bent down and said to the Fifth Prince with a smile on his face.

Sixth Princess had already been married into the The Mansion of the Marquis of Changting for more than ten days. He was clever, clever, and beautiful, deeply favored by the people in the The Mansion of the Marquis of Changting. It was just that she rarely laughed and rarely spoke to anyone.

“The Marquis and the Mistress of the The Mansion of the Marquis of Changting couldn’t help but be surprised, as they kept sighing in secret. I still remember that Sixth Princess was not like this when we were young. He was a lively and cheerful girl, why is it that ever since he entered his house, he has been so quiet and refused to say a single word? ”

“Sigh!” The Mansion of the Marquis of Changting’s wife sighed heavily and looked at Duan Yingluo with concern.

She originally thought that Sixth Princess was only unfamiliar with this place because they had just arrived at their home and did not wish to interact much with the people in the house. So she and Duan Yingluo had a lot of conversations, but she was still like this, so the people at home didn’t know why.

By evening, the wind had changed. The last stone salt had been loaded onto the ship, and all the boatmen were on alert. They only had to wait for the Fifth Prince’s command before they could set sail and send this last stone salt to the place.

“Fifth Prince, everything is ready.” Li Han took a look around the river, walked over, and bowed to the Fifth Prince: “All we have to do is wait for your orders, these ships will sail away from the pier, and deliver the last batch of salt to the place.”

Hearing Li Han’s words, the Fifth Prince slightly nodded his head and quickly walked to the riverbank. For some reason, when he saw the bright fishing flames on the river, he felt even more uneasy.

“Fifth Prince.” Li Han called out to the Fifth Prince again.

“He turned his head and nodded towards Li Han. Alright, since that’s the case, let’s start our journey. ”

Receiving the Fifth Prince’s order, Li Han hurried to the riverbank and ordered all the boats to set off.

The boat rumbled as it departed from the dock and gradually disappeared into the moonlight.

“When this batch of salt arrives, the Fifth Prince will be able to return to the capital and take orders.” Li Han walked over and cupped his hands to the Fifth Prince with a trace of a smile on his face.
