Seeing the officials who were turning against him at the banquet, Helian Zheng and his two companions were annoyed. Before the banquet was even over, the three of them left in anger.
The three of them gathered together at Helian Zheng's Prince Rui's Mansion.
Upon returning to the Prince's residence, Helian Zheng was so angry that he smashed everything in the room.
"Bang bang bang!" Helian Qin and Helian Jun were so frightened that they didn't dare to move.
Helian Zheng vented his anger, but still felt it was hard to swallow.
Once Helian Zheng had stopped moving, Helian Qin dared to speak up: "Who would have thought that kid would actually summon the Azure Dragon Divine Beast! So many of our Northern Wei ancestors failed to summon the Azure Dragon Divine Beast, and that kid of unknown origin stumbled upon such good fortune. Where can we find justice for this!"
Helian Qin's words provoked Helian Zheng once again.
"Smack!" Helian Zheng casually knocked another jade sculpture away.
The jade carving flew to the ground and shattered into pieces, startling Helian Qin so much that he almost jumped out of his skin.
Another long silence followed.
After Helian Zheng calmed down a bit, Helian Jun said, "Things have come to this point, and there's no point in talking about it now. What we should do now is sit down and discuss what we should do next."
Helian Qin curled his lip, listlessly saying, "What else can we do? That kid has even summoned the Azure Dragon Divine Beast, what else can we do? Didn't you see all those officials have defected?"
The thought that the officials who originally supported them had all gone to flatter Helian Ci and his son made Helian Qin furious: "Those damned opportunists, don't let me catch them, otherwise I will definitely uproot them all and make them waver!"
Not to mention Helian Qin, Helian Zheng and Helian Jun were also quite angry with those officials.
It was bad enough that the brat summoned the Azure Dragon Divine Beast, but now even the officials who supported them have turned against them. This is so upsetting that they really don't know what to do now.
After a long silence, Helian Zheng looked at Helian Qin and Helian Jun with a sinister gaze: "I won't ask anything else, I just want to ask you, are you willing to accept this?"
Upon hearing this, Helian Qin and Helian Jun's eyes instantly turned cold. They narrowed their eyes and said in unison, "We are not reconciled!"
Helian Zheng narrowed his eyes coldly: "Very well, then leave the rest to me!"
Helian Qin looked at Helian Zheng curiously: "What do you want to do?"
Helian Zheng's expression was cold and stern, and he did not tell the two of them his plan.
The next day.
Helian Rong summoned Su Yun'an to Changshou Palace early in the morning.
Seeing that Helian Rong looked well, Su Yun'an smiled and said, "Great-grandfather, you look quite energetic today."
Helian Rong smiled and waved to Su Yun'an.
Su Yun'an walked to Helian Rong's side and was immediately pulled into his arms: "That's all thanks to you two siblings. Your sister helps me take care of my health every day, and you're also capable of summoning the Azure Dragon Divine Beast for me. How could I not feel refreshed and invigorated!"
Yuan Xian also laughed and said, "The young prince summoned the Azure Dragon divine beast, and His Majesty is overjoyed. When people have good news, they are in high spirits. His Majesty looks much better than before today."
Su Yun'an, embarrassed by their praise, looked up and said, "I didn't know I could summon the Azure Dragon Divine Beast. It was all unintentional. Unintentional actions shouldn't be praised. Great-grandfather, please don't praise me for the Azure Dragon Divine Beast. I feel unworthy. My sister is more capable; she can help you improve your health."
Su Yun'an's words surprised Helian Rong once again.
He really didn't expect his son to be so sensible and reasonable at such a young age.
He did have other great-grandchildren, who often came to him, sometimes offering their calligraphy, sometimes their paintings, all seeking praise.
Even some of the emperor's grandsons, whenever they sent him something, were actually trying to ask for something in return.
This young man is so humble at such a young age. If it were any other grandson or great-grandson of the emperor, they would probably be so arrogant that their elders would have already come to him to exchange for benefits.
This child not only doesn't take credit for herself, but also makes sure to share the credit with her sister. What a good child!
Helian Rong liked Su Yun'an more and more, and felt that such a smart and witty, dignified, fearless, and talented child was worthy of sitting on the throne of Northern Wei!
Helian Rong patted Su Yun'an's head and said, "Yun'an, did your mother tell you?"
Su Yun'an knew what Helian Rong was talking about, and nodded obediently: "She said so."
"Would you be willing to stay in Northern Wei and learn the art of governing from your great-grandfather?" Helian Rong looked at Su Yun'an with expectant eyes.
Su Yun'an nodded, but then, remembering Su Xuening's words, he said eagerly, "I am willing to learn how to govern the country from you, my great-grandfather, and I will strive to become an excellent crown prince. But can I not only learn from you? My sister said I can also go back to Dongchu and learn from my brother-in-law, or I can go to Xiliang and learn from my mother."
As Su Yun'an spoke, as if afraid Helian Rong wouldn't agree, he continued, "My brother-in-law is incredibly capable. He single-handedly led an army of 300,000 men from the northern part of Eastern Chu all the way to the capital. Moreover, when the Emperor of Eastern Chu sent him to the north to provide disaster relief and suppress bandits, he infiltrated the bandit camp in just one day and subdued 40,000 bandits in three days. When the Northern Rong attacked the north, my brother-in-law only used 40,000 bandits to wipe out the Northern Rong's 100,000-strong army. My brother-in-law can also control water resources and relieve droughts..."
Su Yun'an talked on and on, and Helian Rong listened attentively, becoming even more interested in Xuan Yuanzhan.
After Su Yun'an finished speaking, he raised an eyebrow and said, "I can tell that your brother-in-law is indeed very capable, and you admire him a lot."
Su Yun'an immediately nodded: "Of course, my brother-in-law's martial arts are also very powerful, he is the best in the world!"
Helian Rong was amused by him, but then, as if remembering something, he said with some shame, "I can also tell that you have a deep affection for your sister and brother-in-law. Is it because your father and mother are not around?"
The child kept referring to his brother-in-law and sister, and in the few days I've spent with him, I've rarely heard him use the words "father" or "mother."
It is evident that he has a deeper relationship with his sister and brother-in-law.
When the Azure Dragon Blade malfunctioned yesterday, it was Xuan Yuanzhan who rushed in and hugged him. This shows that not only does the child have deep feelings for them, but they also have deep feelings for him.
Helian Rong didn't mention it, and Su Yun'an seemed not to realize it. After a moment of stunned silence, she said to Helian Rong very seriously, "I really like my sister and brother-in-law. They are very important to me. Of course, I also really like my father and mother. Although they weren't around before, it didn't stop me from loving them. Whether it's my father and mother, my sister and brother-in-law, Xiao Bao, or even you, they are all Yun'an's family, and Yun'an likes them all."
In his heart, are his sister and brother-in-law more important than his father and mother?
I don't think so, they're all equally important!
