Chapter 311: Your Majesty's Guilty Heart

Prince Yan's Mansion.

Noon on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

An unexpected guest arrived.

A family of three is having breakfast.

Su Zhenzhen gave little Tangyuan a small steamed bun with a milky flavor, and just as she was about to look up, she saw her father.

She was stunned for a moment, then said to Rong Jinchen who was feeding the little glutinous rice balls with egg custard: "Husband, the emperor is here." After saying that, Su Zhenzhen stood up to salute.

Rong Yue was wearing a dark-colored brocade suit with a dragon pattern and a golden cloud brocade, and a jade crown on his head. Seeing the family of three about to salute him, he waved his hand and sat down next to Rong Jinchen, "No need for formalities." He had the Crown Prince and Prince Jin offer sacrifices to the ancestral temple today, and after thinking it over, he decided to come to Prince Yan's Mansion.

It wasn't that he didn't want Chen'er to go with him to the ancestral temple, but His Majesty felt that his Chen'er didn't want to pay attention to him. If Chen'er disobeyed His Majesty, Rong Yue would have to find an excuse for him himself.

Little Tangyuan looked at Rong Yue with a sweet smile, "Grandpa, I miss you~" He also stretched out his little hands for a hug.

His Majesty's loving grandfather's heart turned into a pool of water, his precious grandson.

Rong Jinchen pursed his lips and pulled the little Tangyuan into his arms, "Chao Chao, be good and don't talk while eating." He didn't look at Rong Yue who took the initiative to sit next to him.

Su Zhenzhen silently lowered her head and drank her bird's nest porridge. It was none of her business. Their father-son affairs had nothing to do with her.

His Majesty Rong Yue's handsome face froze. At this moment, Yu Fuhai brought a set of bowls and chopsticks, so he started to eat.

The air fell into silence, leaving only the sounds of everyone eating and the baby voice of little Tangyuan.

After finishing her breakfast in an uneasy manner, Su Zhenzhen went straight back to the master bedroom with little Tangyuan in her arms.

At this moment, Gu Heng, Yu Fuhai and others also quietly retreated.

Rong Jinchen said nothing. He pursed his lips and did not look at Rong Yue.

Rong Yue: ...

"Chen'er, it's father who is wrong, but aren't you intentionally cooperating with father?" Forget it, I should spoil my own son.

His Majesty Rong Yue feels a little guilty.

"Your Majesty, I dare not. Father has already called me Prince of Yan. Why is he still calling me by my name?" Rong Jinchen had no expression on his face, and his voice was flat.

Rong Yue: ...

Didn't he do this on purpose?

Except at court meetings, when had he ever called Chen'er the Prince of Yan?

"Your Majesty is using Your Majesty to test me and my brother, the Crown Prince. I feel bad." Rong Jinchen couldn't bear it either. He knew when to stop and began to manipulate his father very skillfully.

Rong Yue: ...

Ah, this...

Who can teach him how to coax his son?

Rong Jinchen said in a gloomy tone, "Your Majesty, you haven't given me any reward this year, so why am I coming to Prince Yan's Mansion?" He gave him a resentful look and stood up to leave.

"Chen'er, wait a minute!" His Majesty reacted quickly, "I brought you gifts that I had prepared in advance this time. It's all my fault! There won't be a next time." The old father felt very uncomfortable.

Not only was he alone at last year's annual banquet, but when he came to Prince Yan's Mansion by himself, Zhenzhen didn't talk to him, little Tangyuan didn't let him hug her, and his son also treated him coldly.

Rong Jinchen was silent. This was not what he cared about. Even if his father was testing him intentionally, he still bumped into Jiapin, the imposter who pretended to be his mother to win his favor.

Rong Yue sighed, "I really didn't touch Concubine Jia." He was not crazy. He would not touch a woman who looked very similar to his Yier just because she appeared out of nowhere.

Although His Majesty has three thousand beauties in his harem, he also has a bottom line.

Rong Jinchen felt relieved. As for the affairs between his father and his second brother, the crown prince, he could not interfere.

"Your Majesty, I don't mean to blame you." After saying this, Rong Yue couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart. Who was he trying to fool?

But he couldn't help laughing, feeling very happy. His and Yi'er's children, whether Chen'er or the prince, were all filial and good children.

The somewhat thrilling year has passed, and the undercurrents in the capital are becoming more and more turbulent, and the struggle for the throne is too obvious.

In recent years, Prince Duan and Prince Chu could not help but join the game, and the first to be eliminated was Prince Chu Rong Jinyan.

In February, Li Yannian, the governor of Shanxi Province, was escorted to Beijing.

Weiyang Palace.

Rong Yue looked at this old friend and suddenly laughed, "Li Yannian, what kind of rotten fish is this fake you found? You have been training him for so many years?" He is not even qualified to be compared with his Yi'er.

Li Yannian was handsome and eye-catching. Even with the chains around his neck and wearing a white shirt, he looked graceful at the age of fifty.

Li Yannian, pinned to the ground, straightened his back. "Your Majesty, didn't you also touch that imposter?" He sneered, "The Empress really did choose the wrong man back then. Her husband is nothing special! His so-so love for her has left her depressed and unhappy in this cannibalistic harem. She's lost before she's even forty women."

Li Yannian looked at Rong Yue with an expressionless face, "Your Majesty, if you really love Queen Yuanyi so much, why would you touch this fake? I heard that Concubine Jia is pregnant, congratulations!" He laughed heartily, with a happy smile in his eyes.

Jiapin is the chess piece he has been carefully searching for for many years, just to verify whether Rong Yue truly loves Queen Yuanyi.

If someone truly loves someone as a wife, why would he meet someone who looks like her? If he did, it means he only likes that type.

He was also interested in Empress Yuanyi Ye Shiyi, but before she came of age, the late emperor married her to the current emperor as the Crown Princess.

Li Yannian knew that the imperial decree had been issued and he couldn't change anything. But Rong Yue should never have made her unhappy! She even passed away at the age of 38. How could Ye Shiyi, who had been in good health since childhood, have passed away?

Either this vicious harem struggle had ruined her body without her realizing it, or Rong Yue had broken her heart, leaving her feeling depressed!

Anyway, no matter how many mistakes there are, they are all Rong Yue's fault!

He had heard about her for so many years: she was originally the Crown Princess's favorite in the Eastern Palace, but after three years without a child, the late Emperor granted her the titles of Imperial Concubine, Shu Concubine, Xian Concubine, and De Concubine to enter the Eastern Palace...

Rong Yue sneered and said, "I didn't touch that fake." What the hell?

Li Yannian's laughter stopped, his eyes almost popped out, "This is impossible!" his voice was full of anger, "Jiapin is obviously pregnant!" He even subconsciously wanted to get up, but was held down by the eunuch.

Rong Yue sneered elegantly, "I'm not a fool." How could he touch a woman who was obviously problematic?

Not to mention that this would tarnish his Yi'er.

So he randomly found a guard and said, "If I let someone touch her, the child she is pregnant with is certainly not my child." The child could not be born either.

Li Yannian was devastated and lost his mind. He muttered to himself, "I don't believe it. You obviously have so many princes and princesses!" Even if he only touched her once, he would avenge his sister Yi'er.

Rong Yue saw that his expression was not right, and her eyes narrowed slightly. She signaled Jinyiwei Commander Lu Feng to take him away for interrogation.

After his long-cherished wish was shattered, Li Yannian was so overwhelmed with joy and sorrow that he was a little confused and soon confessed.

Jinyiwei Commander-in-Chief Lu Feng was very glad that His Majesty did not touch Jiapin.

After hearing Lu Feng's reply, Rong Yue sneered.
