The boy's still young voice was sonorous and powerful.

A pair of phoenix eyes are as bright as stars, sparkling and shining with unswerving faith.

Everyone present could sense his strong determination.

But it was precisely because of this that Chu Yuening found it increasingly difficult to accept.

Out of motherly concern for her child, she frowned and instinctively dissuaded him.

"Zhao Zhao, you are still young..."

"Mom, I'm not a kid anymore."

Ying Zhao interrupted softly, then stood in front of his mother and looked her in the eye.

A shadow fell in front of her. Chu Yuening looked at her son and suddenly found that he was as tall as her.

Even though she was in a complicated mood, she had to admit one fact—

The little boy who used to lie in her arms and act like a spoiled brat has now grown into a strong and mature adult.

He learned martial arts and studied since he was young. He was gifted and matured precociously.

Apart from age and experience, he is no worse than a real adult in other aspects.

But "a mother worries about her child even when he is a thousand miles away." How could Chu Yuening not worry when her child, whom she had carried in her arms for ten months, was less than ten years old and had to experience the darkness and dangers of the world alone?

She held the boy's hand tightly and continued to persuade him earnestly.

"As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall."

"As the Crown Prince of the Qin Dynasty, you hold a noble position. Your country and people are at stake. How can you take such a risk so easily?"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng on the side couldn't help but frown.

Indeed, Zhao Zhao was not only his beloved child, but also the next successor to the Qin Empire.

He weighed the pros and cons for a moment and also spoke out to dissuade him.

"Your mother is absolutely right. This is no joke."

However, even in the face of his parents' repeated dissuasion, Ying Zhao remained determined.

"Mother, you once said that fledglings must learn to fly, breaking free from the protective wings of their parents, before they can truly grow into eagles soaring into the sky."

"If I don't even have the courage and confidence to face adversity and hardship, how can I be worthy of the title of Crown Prince of the Empire?"

"How can we defend the Great Qin Empire?"

The boy argued word by word.

There is a sharp edge between his immature brows, revealing the youthful vigor and vitality that is unique to young people.

Those fierce phoenix eyes were like his father's, sharp as an eagle, hiding great ambition, but with an additional unstoppable courage and drive.

Ever since he was old enough to understand, Ying Zhao was aware of the honor and responsibility represented by the title of "Crown Prince".

When faced with a choice, he chose the most difficult path without hesitation.

He longed to become a wise and powerful emperor like his father, and also longed to have the power to look down on the world, to protect his cherished family, and to defend the Qin Dynasty.

However, he was in no hurry to show off his talents.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

Although he is well-read, he lacks reading and understanding of the ways of the world, so traveling around is the best way to hone his skills.

He not only wants to see the sufferings of the world, but also the dangers of the world.

Chu Yue stared at the energetic young man and was suddenly stunned. She couldn't help but start to reflect.

Isn’t caring in the name of love a kind of shackle?

Perhaps she should respect her child's decision.

When Ying Zheng heard his son's bold words, a look of pride gradually appeared on his stern face, and hearty laughter rang out.

"Hahaha! You are worthy of being my heir! You are worthy of being the Crown Prince of the Great Qin!"

"My son has the makings of an emperor!"

He patted the boy's shoulder heavily, with undisguised admiration in his eyes.

Ying Zheng was undoubtedly proud.

It can even be said to be extremely arrogant.

But his great talent, his outstanding vision that transcends his time, and his unparalleled achievements are worthy of this arrogance that looks down on everything.

Therefore, he has extremely high expectations for his successor.

Ying Zheng fully understood why Qin Shihuang in his previous life did not appoint a crown prince for a long time.

No ambitious emperor would be willing to hand over the kingdom he had spent his entire life building to a mediocre successor.

Before meeting Yue Ning, he had thought of using the method of raising Gu to select the most suitable successor from among the royal children.

After meeting Yue Ning, he thought that no matter what his child's qualifications were, he would do his best to teach him, and at least train him to be a king who could maintain the status quo.

What now makes Ying Zheng extremely surprised is that the child he has high hopes for is not only talented, but also has ambition and courage that is no less than his own.

She is simply the perfect successor he had imagined.

After all, Ying Zhao was still a young man with childishness. Faced with his father's reputation, he was happy but still felt embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind."

"My son has great ambitions, and as a father I am very pleased."

Ying Zheng looked at the high-spirited young man and no longer acted like an emperor. Instead, he showed the love and pride of a father.

He is worthy of being his and Yue Ning’s child.

After getting his father's consent, Ying Zhao sat next to his mother and looked at her expectantly with wet eyes.

Seeing her lowering her eyes and looking away, he hugged her arm and shook her, acting coquettishly, just like when they were little.

"Mom, the world is so big, I want to go see it~"

"I haven't left the palace many times! How can you bear to see your son so unhappy?"

"Don't worry, I have so many life-saving items, including the golden ring, so there will definitely be no accidents."

"Mother, dear mother, please be okay~"

Who could resist being begged by a handsome young boy? Not to mention that this was the good boy that Chu Yuening had raised.
