Imperial Concubine Yao looked earnest, "Actually... I have an idea..."

Chu Youheng's Adam's apple moved heavily, and his voice suddenly became a little hoarse, "I sent some Jade Dew Cream to my third brother. I heard that it is very effective in removing scars..."

"I know that you are a kind and respectful child. If you can become the emperor in the future, Nan'er will have nothing to worry about..."

"You mean..." Chu Youheng was suddenly speechless.

Imperial Concubine Yao took a step forward and looked at him steadily. "Prince Rui, I am only one son away from becoming the queen, and you are only one legitimate son away from becoming the crown prince. If you agree, we can cooperate."

Chu Youchen clenched his fists tightly. He had been thinking all these years, if he was also a legitimate child, if his mother was also a woman of status and background...

Beads of sweat broke out on his forehead, but he still couldn't say it.

Imperial Concubine Yao suddenly sighed heavily, turned around and walked away, "Forget it, everyone has their own destiny. Since Prince Rui doesn't want to, I won't force him..."

"Wait a minute!" Chu Youchen suddenly asked, "Prince Su... is he really not going to get better?"

Concubine Yao paused, said nothing, and just sighed again.

Chu Youchen's heart almost jumped out of his throat, "In this case, Imperial Concubine Yao and I will each take what we need. If we succeed in the future, I will definitely treat you and my third brother well!"

Imperial Concubine Yao suddenly turned around and cried with joy, "Really?"

"Really!" Chu Youheng nodded earnestly.

A breeze blew by the lake, and the two smiled at each other.

After reaching an agreement, Chu Youheng left first. Imperial Concubine Yao sighed, "This child is thoughtful, but timid. I wonder what will happen to him after his identity changes..."

Back at the palace banquet, the singing and dancing continued, but Chu Yan looked listless.

After the dance, a man in colorful clothes and a mask suddenly came up and started to dance a strange dance. It seemed that his hands and feet were not coordinated, and he often moved his hands and feet at the same time and fell down from time to time.

Chu Yan frowned, "Where did this come from? Let him go!"

The eunuch was about to pull the dancer away, but he suddenly took off his mask and said with a smile: "Father! This is a performance specially performed for you by your son. Do you like it?"

Chu Yan looked at Chu Youyang, who was wearing funny clothes, and couldn't help laughing, "You! What do you look like?"

Chu Youyang danced even more vigorously, and sang out of tune as he danced: "I wish my father a long life, and I wish my father peace every year. May the country be peaceful and the people be safe, and may people live long and prosper. May the world be peaceful and prosperous..."

The funny dance just now made Chu Yan laugh so hard that he clapped his hands while laughing.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Concubine Yao looked at Chu Youheng and gave him a look.

Chu Youheng thought: Here comes the opportunity! So he changed his usual tepid image, stood up and said: "Father, I am willing to write a poem for you."

Chu Yan was in high spirits and immediately said with a smile: "Okay!"

Chu Youheng probably knew that he would be the heir apparent, and even the way he stood up and walked seemed to be somewhat noble. He walked forward slowly and said in a clear voice: "The wind and frost of heaven and earth have ended, and the world is in harmony. New years have been added to the calendar, and spring has filled the old mountains and rivers. The plum and willow trees are full of beauty, and the pines and bamboos are old. I drink Tusu until I am drunk, and laugh happily in the white cloud nest." (Poem "Jiyou New Year" author: Ming. Ye Yong)

As soon as he finished reciting, Chu Yan immediately revealed a look of joy. He had previously thought that Chu Youheng's talent was mediocre, but he did not expect that he was actually talented!

"Well! This poem is very interesting. Good! Come, reward King Rui and King Jin with a jade ruyi each!" Chu Yan said in a deep voice.

This was the first time that Chu Youheng had been publicly rewarded, and he was originally very happy. However, when he thought that Chu Youyang had just been fooling around and got the same reward as himself, he still felt unhappy.

Fortunately, he saw Concubine Yao wipe her eyes and said a few words to Chu Yan. Thinking that he was about to become the legitimate son, the gloom in his heart suddenly disappeared.

Chu Yan heard Imperial Concubine Yao say: "What a good child! If Nan'er hadn't experienced that, she would probably be as graceful and charming as this..."

His mood suddenly became heavy. He couldn't help but think about it carefully, thinking that if Chu Younan hadn't experienced that, now the ministers asked for the establishment of a crown prince, he would definitely make Chu Younan the crown prince. He also thought that the best candidate for the empress in the harem was actually Ruan Tianyao, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Seeing that he was lost in thought, Imperial Concubine Yao asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, Heng'er lost his mother when he was young, and my Nan'er also had an accident. Can you raise Heng'er under my name..."

Chu Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.

This greatly solved the problem of him having no offspring, and judging from his performance today, Chu Youheng was no ordinary person.

He nodded slightly.

Imperial Concubine Yao lowered her head, "I just don't know if Heng'er is willing. After all, he is so old now, maybe he misses his mother..."

Chu Yan thought for a moment before saying, "Youheng, come to the imperial study after court tomorrow!"

When Chu Youheng saw Imperial Concubine Yao nodded slightly to him, his Adam's apple moved heavily, and he suppressed his joy and said lightly: "Yes, Father!"

Su Bei and Chu Younan exchanged glances and continued to eat hard.

After the palace banquet, Chu Younan and Su Bei had a heated discussion in the carriage.

"If Chu Youheng becomes the legitimate son, will he still be the same as before?"

"He has been keeping his tail between his legs because of his humble origins. If he had the status of a legitimate son, he would probably do something outrageous."

"I think so too. I feel like he will be like a nouveau riche, and his life will be very different from before."

"upstart?"

Su Bei turned around and looked at him in surprise, "Don't you know what a nouveau riche is?"

He wanted to tell Su Bei once again that he was not a time traveler, but Su Bei did not give him a chance. He directly pulled out a sharp knife from under his seat and pointed at him and shouted, "Take off your veil! Tell me, who are you?!"

Chu Younan had never seen this kind of look in Su Bei's eyes before, full of murderous intent, as if he wanted to cut him into pieces.

He curled his lips helplessly and took off his veil, "Why, do you suspect that I'm a substitute?"

The face can be faked, and so can the voice, but scars and eyes cannot be faked.

Su Bei confirmed his gaze and found that he was Chu Younan, so he put down the knife in his hand, "That's strange, how come you don't know about nouveau riche?"

Chu Younan put on a veil, lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside, saying nonchalantly, "I'm not full yet, there's a noodle-selling lady outside..."

"Don't interrupt me, explain it to me..."

"It's New Year's Day, and your mother-in-law isn't going home but is still selling noodles here..." Chu Younan hurriedly interrupted her topic.

Su Bei suddenly shouted to stop.

She quickly lifted the carriage curtain and looked out, but she only saw the streets decorated with lights and there was no sign of the noodle stall.

"Chu Younan, you lied to me. Where is the noodle stall?"

Chu Younan looked outside the car seriously and said deliberately: "Yes! Eat noodles, cook a few more bowls, we will all eat..."

Su Bei: ...

"Put more beef and no green onions!" Chu Younan said to the outside again.

The answer to him was probably the air...

Su Bei heard him say again: "Yes, yes, it's better to give her two pounds of beef directly..."

It was as if a cold wind blew past, and Su Bei's expression suddenly became stern, "Chu Younan? Don't scare me!"
