The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 190: Long-lasting Fame

On this day, the streets and alleys of the capital were filled with stories of the prince's heroic deeds.

Li Ming walked out of the mansion slowly and looked up. Wow, the street was so crowded and lively that it looked like a pot of boiling porridge.

I saw a dark and thin old man selling vegetables, shouting at the top of his voice: "Hey, have you heard?

"In that battle on the frontier, the prince defeated the enemy with a smaller force, leaving them in a state of panic and leaving them in disarray!"

As he spoke, he waved his calloused hands, the wrinkles on his face were all smiling, and his eyes were full of admiration.

Li Ming stopped and stood there listening carefully.

The sturdy butcher next to him, bare-chested, holding a knife in one hand and pressing the chopping board with the other, said, "Of course, the prince's reputation is undeniable. Everyone knows it!"

As he spoke, the knife in his hand kept chopping on the chopping board, splashing a lot of minced meat.

At this time, a young man with a clean complexion and a scholarly appearance, dressed in a long gown, struggled to squeeze over. His face flushed red as he said anxiously, "Everyone, I've heard that the prince leads the troops on the battlefield. His aura is like that of a god descending from heaven!"

"That's right!" A sister-in-law, dressed in coarse cloth and holding a child in her arms, chimed in: "Although we didn't see it with our own eyes, just hearing about it gives us a boost!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" A peddler who was carrying a load put down his load and came over to echo: "The prince is our hero!"

Everyone was talking at once, becoming more and more excited, and the scene was extremely lively.

Li Ming stood in the crowd, his face full of pride and his chest straight.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Li Ming continued walking forward and passed by a teahouse.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard a lot of noise and excitement inside.

He stepped into the teahouse and saw smoke filling the room. People were sitting around, talking in a flurry.

"Speaking of the prince, not only are his military achievements illustrious, but he also cares deeply about the people. When we had a famine here before, the prince personally raised food for relief!"

An old man stroked his graying beard and said this. The old man was wearing a long gown that had been washed a little white. The wrinkles on his face were like ravines, but his eyes were shrewd.

As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if recalling the scene at that time.

"Yes, Your Highness's heroic name will be recorded in history forever!" another middle-aged man responded.

The middle-aged man was of medium build, wearing a short coarse cloth jacket with a towel draped over his shoulders. His face was full of sincerity and admiration.

Li Ming walked into the teahouse and found an empty seat to sit down. The waiter hurried over and greeted him, "Mr. Li, how come you have time to drink tea today?"

The waiter had a flattering smile on his face and quickly wiped his hands with the towel on his shoulder.

Li Ming smiled and said, "I heard everyone was talking about the prince, so I came in to listen."

At this time, several businessmen at the next table also started talking.

"Your Majesty has governed the area in an orderly manner. The prosperity of our capital city today is largely due to your contribution!"

A fat businessman said this. This fat businessman had a fat head and big ears, a protruding belly, and the flesh on his face trembled when he spoke.

He held the teacup in one hand and gestured in the air with the other.

"Yes, the prince is also fair and honest. Those corrupt officials dare not act presumptuously in front of him."

Another tall and thin businessman chimed in. This tall and thin businessman had prominent cheekbones and narrow eyes. When he spoke, his eyes were sharp, revealing a sense of shrewdness.

"That's right! My last batch of goods was seized, and thanks to the prince's keen observation, my business was saved."

A businessman with a goatee said excitedly, slamming the table as he spoke.

"Also, the roads that the prince built have made it much more convenient for us to transport goods, and the cost has been reduced a lot."

A businessman wearing a melon-shaped hat added.

Listening to these praises, Li Ming was filled with emotion. He couldn't help but think of the prince's daily deeds: charging into battle without fear, arguing for his principles in the court, and working for the welfare of the people.

How can we not admire such a prince?

After leaving the teahouse, Li Ming arrived at the market. A jewelry vendor saw him and quickly greeted him, "Mr. Li, come and see the new jewelry! This is modeled after the one the prince gave to the princess. It's very popular!"

The peddler was thin, with a pair of eyes that rolled around and he kept talking.

Li Ming leaned over to take a look and found that the jewelry was indeed exquisite.

"The relationship between the prince and princess is also a beautiful story, so enviable!"

The vendor said with a smile.

Li Ming bought a piece of jewelry and continued to stroll around the market, which was crowded with people and the sounds of hawkers rang out one after another.

Li Ming looked left and right, and saw a group of children gathered in front of the stall selling sugar figures, staring eagerly at the lifelike sugar figures in the stall owner's hands.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and everyone moved aside. A group of soldiers on horseback galloped past, and the leading general shouted, "The prince is about to return to the city. Everyone, prepare to welcome him!"

Li Ming was delighted and quickly followed the crowd towards the city gate.

Along the way, he walked in a hurry and accidentally bumped into a peddler carrying a load on his shoulder.

The peddler glared at him and muttered, "Why are you in such a hurry? Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?"

Li Ming quickly apologized, but he didn't stop.

The city gate was already crowded with people, all eagerly waiting. An old farmer in patched clothes stood on tiptoe, craning his neck, muttering, "My Lord, please let me see your majesty!"

A wealthy businessman dressed in silk satin stood nearby, fanning himself with a fan and ordering his servants: "Stand still! Don't block me, my master!"

Finally, the prince's troops appeared in the distance. The prince was riding a tall white horse, looking very heroic.

The white horse's coat was snow-white, without a single stray hair, and its hooves raised clouds of dust.

The prince was dressed in armor that sparkled in the sun, and the soldiers behind him were all in high spirits, their backs straight.

"Long live the prince!" Cheers rang out from the crowd.

The sound was getting louder and louder, making people's ears buzz.

The prince smiled and waved to everyone. His smile was kind and warm, just like the big brother next door.

Li Ming looked at the prince with a heart full of admiration. He didn't blink, afraid to miss a single glimpse of the prince's grace.

The team slowly entered the city, and people on both sides of the street presented flowers and fruits.

There was a little girl selling flowers. She blushed and handed a bouquet of flowers to the prince. She said timidly, "Prince, these flowers are for you."

The prince took the flowers and said thank you. The little girl jumped three feet high with joy.

"Prince, you are our hero!" a child shouted.

The child was chubby and had a dirty face, but he was very clever.

The prince leaned over and touched the child's head, "Thank you for the compliment!"

Li Ming followed the procession all the way to the gate of the palace. He stood in the crowd, watching the prince enter the palace, and then turned and left.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Li Ming told his sister Li Meng what he had seen and heard today.

Li Meng looked longingly, "Your Majesty's heroic name will indeed live on in the world and be admired by everyone."

In the days that followed, no matter where he went, Li Ming could hear people praising the prince.

In the school, the teacher stroked his beard and taught his students solemnly: "You should follow the prince's example and be loyal to the emperor and patriotic!

It was because of your highness that he bravely fought on the battlefield and defended his country that we now have the peaceful days we enjoy today!"

All the students sat upright, their eyes wide open, listening attentively.

On the stage, the actors performed the prince's heroic story with passion and emotion.

The singing, reciting, acting and fighting were so vivid and lifelike. The actor who played the prince was wearing armor and holding a spear, looking so majestic that the audience could not help but cheer loudly: "Good!

What a great prince! "Some clapped their hands until they were red, while others shouted until their voices were hoarse.

Even in temples, people prayed for the prince. One old woman, with her hands clasped together, kept muttering, "Prince, please be well and bless us ordinary people with good weather and good harvests."

The old man next to him nodded with a pious look on his face.

Li Ming knew very well that the prince's reputation was not only due to his military exploits and achievements, but also because of his integrity, kindness and care for the people.

Once, the prince went on a secret visit and saw an old farmer who had lost his harvest due to a natural disaster. He immediately donated money to help him and also sent someone to deliver seeds and farm tools.

Another time, the prince encountered a bully bullying the people on the road. Without saying a word, he went up and taught the bully a lesson, which made the people applaud.

This heroic name will be passed down forever.
