Seeing Xuanyuan Peng so happy, Zong Jiu also praised him, saying, "Your Highness has become much more polite and respectful to the Emperor lately."
Xuanyuan Peng also deeply understood this, and laughed, "You're right. He never used to bow to me, but now he's quite proper in his manners. It's just that he keeps calling me 'Your Majesty,' which makes me feel awkward!"
Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Peng seemed somewhat dejected.
Even though he is his own son, he can only refer to himself as "your subject" in front of him, and he doesn't know when he will hear him call him "Father Emperor".
Zong Jiu understood Xuan Yuanpeng's thoughts and whispered to comfort him, "Your Highness now understands the Emperor's good intentions and will recognize the Emperor sooner or later."
As the emperor's close attendant, how could he not understand the emperor's thoughts?
The Emperor wanted to recognize the Prince, especially after the Prince shielded him from a sword last time. The Emperor was even more eager to recognize the Prince and even considered passing the throne to him.
However, the prince's status is somewhat special. If the prince were an ordinary commoner, the emperor could easily find a reason to allow him to be recognized as a member of the imperial family. But the prince is now the legitimate son of the former crown prince, and he was listed in the Xuanyuan royal family's genealogy at birth, and also inherited the former crown prince's throne at birth.
With such a noble status, an identity already recognized by the Xuanyuan royal family, it would be extremely difficult for the emperor to bring him back.
Moreover, if they were to actually be recognized, the Emperor, the Imperial Concubine, and the Prince would face far too many challenges!
So what he just said was really just to comfort the emperor; how could he possibly accept it so easily?
Xuanyuan Peng nodded, deep in thought.
He was trying to find a solution. He was now having Zhan'er handle state affairs in order to inform the officials of his intentions and to gauge their attitudes.
He had been looking for an opportunity!
Xuanyuan Peng began to peruse the memorials that Xuanyuan Zhan had processed, and the more he read, the more excited he became: "Brilliant!"
Xuanyuan Peng excitedly took the memorial and said to Zong Jiu, "Look how well this memorial has been reviewed! This kid is definitely a talent for governing the country!"
Zong Jiu couldn't understand any of this. He only knew that for the emperor to praise him so enthusiastically, the prince must truly have the talent to govern the country!
Xuan Yuanpeng was overjoyed to see the memorials that Xuan Yuanzhan had reviewed.
Many of the insights in this memorial are far more mature and experienced than his, and some of the ideas are even more unique. Although concise, they have the feeling of revealing the secrets of the universe!
Most importantly, all these reports were completed by this kid in just three hours.
If these same memorials were given to Xuanyuan Yu to handle, even if he had three days, he probably wouldn't be able to come up with so many perfect solutions. He would likely just be led by the nose by those ministers!
It has to be said that Xuan Yuanzhan's abilities are far superior to Xuan Yuanyu's!
Having witnessed Xuanyuan Zhan's ability to govern the country these past few days, Xuanyuan Peng has become even more determined to acknowledge him as his father.
After leaving the Imperial Study, Xuan Yuanzhan did not leave the palace directly, but went to the Imperial Hospital first.
"Your Highness." When Hang Yuqing saw Xuan Yuanzhan coming over, he quickly led the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital to pay their respects.
"No need for formalities," Xuan Yuanzhan said, then waved to Hang Yuqing.
Hang Yuqing immediately understood and followed Xuan Yuanzhan to the side: "Your Highness."
"Ahem~" Xuan Yuanzhan coughed awkwardly before whispering, "You know my queen is pregnant. Shouldn't we be taking some precautions?"
Hang Yuqing was taken aback by Xuan Yuanzhan's question. Hadn't he already told the prince about this matter back at the Holy Prince's Mansion?
Hang Yuqing glanced at Xuan Yuanzhan and saw his discomfort. She seemed to understand something and whispered, "Actually, it's not a problem to have sex during the first three months. But now that the Princess Consort's health is much better, it's not impossible if Your Highness is gentle."
Hang Yuqing was indeed a sensible person. Xuan Yuanzhan blushed at his words and then shyly leaned closer to ask him a few questions.
Hang Yuqing looked at Xuan Yuanzhan in disbelief after hearing this, seemingly not expecting him to ask such a question.
Seeing Hang Yuqing's surprised expression, Xuan Yuanzhan awkwardly explained in a low voice, "Isn't it because the princess is pregnant? She's not feeling well."
...Hang Yuqing blinked, her mind still a little fuzzy.
The princess is pregnant and it's true that she's not feeling well, but shouldn't he be asking for himself? Why is he asking such a question on behalf of the princess?
Seeing that he kept staring at him like that, Xuan Yuanzhan gave him an unpleasant glare.
Hang Yuqing then came to his senses and said awkwardly, "This... I haven't tried it either, I really don't know!"
Xuanyuan Zhan frowned, somewhat disappointed.
Isn't he the imperial physician? These kinds of things should be interconnected, right? How could he not know?
Seeing this, Hang Yuqing leaned closer and whispered, "Your Highness could actually go to the Liyou Pavilion and ask. I've heard that women often go there, and the male prostitutes there are very skilled at serving women."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanzhan's eyes lit up. How come he hadn't thought of brothels!
Thanks.
Xuanyuan Zhan thanked Hang Yuqing and then turned and left excitedly.
Hang Yuqing looked at Xuan Yuanzhan's rather excited back and still felt like she was dreaming!
How could a man ask him such a question?
The key point is that this person is a prince! The prince dotes on his princess too much!
Xuanyuan Zhan originally intended to go directly to Liyou Pavilion, but when the carriage was halfway there, he instructed Ye Yun: "Go to the Dingping Marquis's residence first."
"Yes." Ye Yun had no idea what his master was up to, going from Liyou Pavilion to Dingping Marquis's residence. He was still thinking about what the Dowager Consort had told him.
Ye Yun drove the carriage to the gate of the Marquis of Dingping's residence. Xuan Yuanzhan did not get off the carriage, but only instructed Ye Yun: "Go and call Mu Lingchen out."
"Yes." Ye Yun parked the carriage and went to find the gatekeeper of the Marquis of Dingping's residence.
The residence of the Marquis of Dingping.
Mu Lingchen was busy in his study when the gatekeeper came to report: "My lord, His Highness the Holy King has arrived."
Upon hearing this, Mu Lingchen looked delighted: "Where is he?"
"At the entrance of the Marquis's residence, the Prince requests that you come out for a moment," the gatekeeper reported, bowing.
Mu Lingchen didn't think much of it and immediately ran out.
As soon as Mu Lingchen stepped out of the mansion, he saw the carriage of the Holy King's Mansion.
"Lord Marquis." Ye Yun bowed quickly upon seeing Mu Lingchen emerge.
Mu Lingchen stepped forward and lifted the carriage curtain, seeing Xuan Yuanzhan sitting inside, and then got into the carriage himself.
"Why did you decide to come see me today? And you didn't even come in." Mu Lingchen joked, then picked up the teapot on the small table and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Something came up."
"What's the matter? Why are you being so mysterious?" Mu Lingchen looked at him curiously, picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea.
Xuanyuan Zhan didn't explain to him, but just looked at Ye Yun outside and ordered, "Go to Liyou Pavilion."
"puff……"
The phrase "Liyou Pavilion" made Mu Lingchen spit out all the tea he had just taken a sip of!
