Why do they look so much like father and son?
Emperor Qianyuan couldn't bear to watch any longer and had to speak up, "Uncle, why don't you see Song Cheng today?"
The old virtuous prince had almost finished his meal. He put down his chopsticks, took a sip of tea, and then said, "The emperor's uncle assigned him to do something. Why did the emperor suddenly ask about Songcheng?"
Emperor Qianyuan looked at Dongfang Yinzheng with a bad look. If you are the illegitimate son of my uncle, I will never let you off easily!
If you want to surpass my cousin and become the next wise king, don’t even think about it!
Dongfang Yinzhang sensed Emperor Qianyuan's hostility and quickly stood up and retreated behind the old virtuous king.
"Your Majesty! You haven't replied to me yet, but do you have any complaints about my personal guards?"
"Uncle, please move to the inner room to talk."
The old sage king frowned, "Can't talk about it here?"
"Uncle, I need to verify something. It's urgent and cannot be told to others. It concerns my cousin."
"Chengqian?"
"Exactly."
The old virtuous king looked at Su Xingyi and said, "Ayi, you guys eat slowly. Your uncle will have some intimate words with your father. Tomorrow, your uncle will take you to meet your cousins."
"Okay, uncle."
After watching the two leave, Su Xingyi quickly brought the half-eaten meal in front of him to Xiao Lingyu, mother and son.
"And Grandfather!"
Xiao Tianci followed closely behind and brought his own dining table over.
"Master..." Su Xing noticed that Li Haiying and several other palace servants were still in the palace, so he changed his tone and said, "Uncle has almost finished eating and won't eat anymore. Don't waste the remaining food. Bring it to the young Prince Fu."
"Yes!" Dongfang Yinzhang responded and walked over with the dining table.
Su Xingyi asked him to sit down and feed the little Prince Fu.
"Li Haiying."
"Grand Prince, please give your orders!"
Being suddenly called the Grand Prince, Su Xingyi immediately thought of Feng Jinyu and said in a deep voice, "You must not say the words Grand Prince anymore. You must call me Prince Shun. Do you understand?"
Su Xingyi became solemn. Li Haiying was afraid and said awkwardly, "I understand. Please obey the king's orders!"
"Ask the chef to serve a large plate of stir-fried mutton with green onions and two large bowls of white rice. Only then will the little prince of Fu have enough to eat!"
"Yes, I will arrange it right away."
"All of you, please withdraw. This king is used to dining with his family. Do not disturb him."
"Yes!" Li Haiying quickly called all the palace people out.
Leaving the Qinzheng Hall, Li Haiying broke out in a cold sweat. If Prince Shun became the crown prince, wouldn't Prince Fu have to eat so much every day?!
"Your Majesty, there's no one here right now. What exactly is Cheng Qian talking about that has caused Your Majesty to skip dinner and have to speak to your uncle in private?"
Emperor Qianyuan looked at the old virtuous king, pondered for a moment, and said, "Why is the emperor's uncle so kind to that personal guard? Not only did you let him sit down and dine with you, which is not in accordance with the rules, but you also gave him more food. How could a mere personal guard like him deserve to be given more food by the emperor's uncle?"
"Ever since I came of age, my uncle has never served food to me or Chengqian at any palace banquet. Instead, he favors his personal guard over Chengqian. If Chengqian knew about this, this personal guard's life would be in danger!"
"What do you mean? I can be close to whoever I want. What does it have to do with Chengqian?"
"You are unusually close to that personal guard. I am not mistaken. You can see that his brows are filled with kindness. I cannot help but suspect that he might be the illegitimate son of the Emperor's uncle."
"Nonsense!" The old wise king was so angry that he puffed his beard and glared. "You are the king of a country, and you actually convict me based on random guesses!"
Emperor Qianyuan choked. What he had said to Shangguan Yu was now being ridiculed by his uncle.
"I dare not, but your behavior makes me think so! Just now, I saw you being so friendly to him. I don't know why I don't like it. I feel uncomfortable. I don't like him! Chengqian will not like him if he sees him. I will have all kinds of thoughts when I see him, and Chengqian will be even more so. Please don't be too friendly to this guard, otherwise it will hurt him."
The old wise king curled his lips, "Why don't you like him?"
"I just don't like it. I feel uncomfortable watching you being intimate with him!"
The old wise king smiled and said, "You don't like him, and he doesn't like you either!"
When Emperor Qianyuan heard this, he felt unhappy again. "I don't like him because I respect him. How dare he dislike me? I am the ruler of a country."
The old wise king did not expect that Emperor Qianyuan, who was in his forties, was still so childish and willful in front of him.
Yulin would not be like him.
"Actually, there's a reason why you don't like him. He is indeed related to the Emperor's uncle by blood."
"What?" Emperor Qianyuan was shocked. "I guessed right. He is really your illegitimate son?"
The old virtuous king looked at him deeply. "Is it true or not? The emperor will know it soon. Let's go. The uncle will introduce you two brothers to each other."
"Uncle, wait a minute." Emperor Qianyuan tugged at the old virtuous king's sleeve. "This is a private matter of your uncle. We can't let Ayi and the others know about it. It will affect your reputation. Let him go into the inner chamber."
"It's okay. The emperor's uncle brought him into the palace this time to give him a legitimate identity."
Emperor Qianyuan felt uneasy after hearing this, "This is not appropriate, Chengqian will make a scene."
The old virtuous king shook his head. "He won't make a fuss. The fact that Chengqian is the young virtuous king won't change. Let's go. It's a good opportunity to reveal his identity along with Ayi's tomorrow."
Emperor Qianyuan felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Ayi was his eldest son, so he had to be more serious about revealing his identity.
But this is just the illegitimate son of the emperor's uncle, how can he be made public with Ayi? Just go to the Royal Jade Butterfly.
Emperor Qianyuan did not dare to say anything against it. The old wise king had made great efforts for him to sit firmly on the throne of Beiyi.
