Chapter 629 A world of difference

"Yes." Chu Yunhe couldn't help but straighten his back, unable to hide the excitement in his heart.

It’s time to appoint a crown prince.

According to the principle of establishing the eldest son as the heir, the position of crown prince should be his.

I am finally going to sit in this extremely glorious position and I can feel completely at ease.

"Crown Prince, what do you think?" Chu Shengrui asked.

Chu Yunhe became more and more excited when asked by Chu Shengrui. He felt that this must be the usual question when Chu Shengrui appointed him as the crown prince. However, in order to show his humility at this time, he cupped his hands and said, "In this matter, I will naturally follow your father's wishes in everything."

Chu Shengrui nodded slightly, and moved his gaze from Chu Yunhe to Chu Yunzhao, "Xiao Si, what do you think?"

"This matter concerns the foundation of the country. I think that your father can discuss it with the civil and military officials and conduct corresponding assessments on the princes to select the most capable ones."

Chu Yunzhao paused and said, "But I thought that since your father is in his prime, there is no need to decide on the crown prince too early. If you appoint a crown prince too early, you will become the target of public criticism. Countless eyes will be on this matter, and the former dynasty may not be stable because of this, and the harem may also be in disharmony because of this."

"So I think that Father can take his time to consider before making a decision."

The speech was in line with the rules and regulations, and contained certain personal ideas. Chu Shengrui couldn't help but nod his head, and even smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Well said."

Chu Yunhe saw that when he responded just now, Chu Shengrui just nodded slightly. When Chu Yunzhao responded at this time, he was praised by Chu Shengrui. He suddenly felt a little dissatisfied and opened his mouth to refute.

Upon seeing this, Lord Wei hurriedly winked at Chu Yunhe.

Compared with Chu Yunhe's obedience and even complacency just now, Chu Yunzhao took the approach of retreating to advance, and his words "the virtuous and capable should be in the position" pushed himself to the position of being a candidate to be made the crown prince.

The two people's answers were completely different, and Chu Yunhe was obviously the latter.

More importantly, the issue of appointing a crown prince has always been a very sensitive topic.

Chu Shengrui was reluctant to mention the matter of appointing a crown prince, obviously because he cared a lot about these things.

Chu Yunzhao's statement that it was not appropriate to appoint a crown prince too early won Chu Shengrui's heart. If Chu Yunhe objected at this time, no matter what the reason was, Chu Shengrui would think that he was coveting the position of crown prince, so he was so impatient.

Since the answer to the first sentence was not outstanding, it is best to remain silent at this time.

After all, too much talk leads to mistakes.

Moreover, Wei Gelao was worried that Chu Yunhe would not be able to hold back and blurt out his opinion, so he took the lead and replied, "I think what the Fourth Prince said is very true."

Seeing this, Chu Yunhe could only swallow all the words in his heart.

Just this swallow, perhaps because he was too angry just now, he swallowed a large mouthful of saliva with a gurgling sound.

The sound was a bit loud, loud enough for Chu Shengrui to hear it clearly.

"There is one more matter that I would like to hear your opinions on." Chu Shengrui's eyes fell on Chu Yunhe. "Recently, the Queen has asked for my permission to grant a marriage between Princess Anle and Liang Xuelin. I am unsure at the moment, so I would like to ask for your opinions."

"Your Majesty, when I heard Mother mention this matter, she said that Liang Xuelin admired Anle very much, and Anle seemed to like him quite a bit as well. What's more, although Liang Xuelin is young, he is also promising and talented, and they are a perfect match." Chu Yunhe replied hurriedly.

Chu Yunhe naturally knew about Liang's threat to the Queen.

Chu Yunhe also fully agreed with the queen's decision.

Moreover, because the decree to grant the marriage had not been issued during this period, Liang believed that he and the queen had not put their heart and soul into this matter, and she started to speak nonsense again. Chu Yunhe was already fed up with this.

Seeing Chu Shengrui mentioned this, it is natural to add fuel to the fire so that this matter can be settled as soon as possible.

"Father, I think this matter needs to be handled with caution." Chu Yunzhao frowned. "According to me, Liang Xuelin was an uneducated man before he became an official. He spent his days flirting with women. He had a mistress at a young age before getting married. His reputation is really not good."

"And I remember that at a banquet in the palace, Liang Xuelin offended Anle by making rude remarks, and was punished by Anle to kneel in public for an hour. If you say that Princess Anle likes him, I don't think it's possible."

"Fourth brother, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to say that elder brother and mother are pushing Anle into the fire pit?" Chu Yunhe was furious when he saw Chu Yunzhao opening his mouth to stop him and even listing all of Liang Xuelin's shortcomings.

"Brother, I am only speaking the truth. I just think Liang Xuelin is not a good match. As for why mother and brother think this marriage is a great one, I also find it incredible."

Chu Yunzhao replied, "Brother, have you really asked Anle about her opinion? Is Anle really willing to get married?"

"Of course I asked, and Anle is naturally happy to do so." Chu Yunhe replied, but his confidence was a little lacking when he spoke, and his voice seemed a little small.

"Is it true?" Chu Shengrui suddenly spoke.

"Of course." Chu Yunhe panicked and said hurriedly, "Didn't the emperor also ask about Anle?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Yes, I did ask Anle." Chu Shengrui looked at Chu Yunhe and said quietly, "Anle did say that she agreed with this marriage, but I also learned that Anle was depressed all day long, and was getting thinner day by day. She fell ill again in the past two days."

"Perhaps Anle is worried because the emperor has not granted the marriage yet, and is afraid that the emperor will not agree to the marriage, so she is upset..."

Chu Yunhe lowered his head and spoke in a small voice, "So, I think that your father granted the marriage earlier so that Anle could feel at ease..."

Chu Yunzhao looked at Chu Yunhe with some annoyance.

I have to say that Chu Yunhe was really selfish enough. In order to hide his own dirty deeds, he pushed his own sister, the eldest princess, to the unlearned Liang Xuelin. He was really despicable.

And Chu Shengrui looked at Chu Yunhe for a long time.

His eyes were sharp, cold, and filled with a hint of anger, but the anger soon dissipated.

"Since you think so, then I know what's going on."

Since you are still like this, there is really no need to give you another chance.

Chu Shengrui sighed inwardly and said, "Your mother has had a headache these days. Please wait a moment before entering the palace and paying your respects to her. I will also go over to take a look."

Chu Yunhe was very nervous before, but now he felt relieved when he saw Chu Shengrui was worried about his mother. "Yes, I obey your command."

"you……"

Chu Shengrui did not say the three words "Retreat", but Chu Jinnian cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have something I would like to ask Your Majesty to decide for me."
