Shen Qiuhui remembered his son telling him about Lan Ruozhu's physical condition. Those in the capital knew about the prince's condition and said he would not live past eighteen.
However, the prince would be nineteen this year and looked healthier than ever. He also had an indescribable majestic demeanor. Furthermore, the price's intelligence and talent were outstanding.
Lan Ruozhu loved his people and treated them as his own. It was something the crown prince and princes could not compare to. There were also wars outside, and the commoners had strict curfews.
However, Dingzhou was prosperous. Dingzhou was the most barren place in the past, but Shen Qiuhui always knew it would become the most prosperous.
Jianzhou was prosperous in the past but became desolate under King Jian's rule. He kept increasing taxes and engaged in militarism, leading his army into frequent battles.
