An Ge and Feng Changge had a pleasant conversation and seemed poised to become close friends despite their age difference.
"I'll visit your home again when I have the chance."
"Very well, I'll be waiting for you, young friend." Feng Changge hadn't been this happy in a long time, as if she had returned to the days before she left home.
After Feng Changge left, Lu Yan asked curiously, "You're not that old, are you? How did you develop the ability to speak to people in a way that suits everyone?" He felt that if the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, the two of them might have become sworn brothers.
“You can’t learn a natural high EQ.” An Ge fell into deep thought, thinking about the scene she had just seen with her Eye of Exploration.
Originally, she wanted to see her old friend's future fortune, but unexpectedly, she saw a handsome male ghost beside her. If it weren't for the deep affection in the man's eyes as he looked at Feng Changge, An Ge wouldn't have let Feng Changge leave so easily.
To avoid attracting the man's attention, An Ge deactivated her Detective Eye as soon as he noticed her. Judging from his demeanor, he seemed harmless towards Feng Changge; if she wasn't mistaken, he was likely her consort.
An Ge was rather curious. How come the consort had been dead for over a decade and was still by Feng Changge's side?
"Next time you visit the Princess's residence, you must ask her about it."
With the ceremony for the selection of the heir apparent approaching, the capital city had long since recovered from its previous turmoil. Mentioning the once powerful Qian family would elicit only a few sighs, and no one would pay much attention anymore.
Looking at the bustling crowds, An Ge felt a sense of historical rise and fall, and a sense of oppression settled in her heart.
Fortunately, she had friends to keep her company, so even as history changed, she was not lonely.
However, it was only at this moment that An Ge truly realized that mortals have limited lifespans. No wonder Hu Jiu had once told her that she should be careful when interacting with mortals.
An Ge thought that she would feel bad if she saw the elderly Feng Jinghan in the future.
"I really shouldn't have gotten too involved with mortals; in the end, I'll be the one who suffers." An Ge had a bit of a headache, but since things had come to this, she didn't regret having a few mortal friends. Perhaps it was because she hadn't experienced too many changes in the world.
"Live for today, why think so much!" An Ge smacked her head, realizing she was being too sentimental. Today was Feng Jinghan's coronation ceremony, and she had to support him.
Thinking of something in the space, An Ge had an idea.
The Crown Prince's inauguration ceremony was held in the Royal Square, and only for such an important event were the public allowed to attend.
Even before the ceremony, guards at all locations had made preparations and ensured that there were no suspicious persons.
Early in the morning, people came from all directions, eager to catch a glimpse of the future emperor's face.
Feng Jinghan, dressed in a bright yellow long robe, looked solemnly at the crowd, his eyes revealing undisguised ambition.
"Still no news from the shop manager?" Feng Jinghan was getting anxious. He wasn't trying to use the immortal's name to promote himself; he just wanted to share this joy with the shop manager. In fact, he hadn't expected the shop manager to come as an immortal.
The subordinate, unaware of why His Highness valued those two seemingly ordinary people so much, simply replied truthfully, "We have not received any news from the two people Your Highness mentioned."
Feng Jinghan felt a little regretful, as the ceremony was about to begin and he didn't have much time to pay attention to these matters.
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: For the eternal stability of the Great Ye Dynasty, may Heaven and Earth bless... Prince Duan, Feng Jinghan, possesses lofty character and far-reaching virtue, his plans are exemplary, and his filial piety is the foundation of his character... He is hereby established as Crown Prince..."
Looking at the handsome and spirited Crown Prince, Emperor Fengzhao felt gratified. "My son, you must be a good Crown Prince for the people and for the world."
Feng Jinghan solemnly accepted the imperial edict. "Son, I dare not forget." Looking at the cheering people, he felt the mission and burden on his shoulders were even heavier.
Suddenly, gasps of surprise came from the crowd.
"Look! There's a dragon!"
Everyone looked up and saw a golden dragon roaring as it came from afar. The golden dragon circled in the air for a while, and with a dragon's roar, it plunged into Feng Jinghan's body.
The people, witnessing such a miracle, were speechless for a time. After a long while, someone finally found their voice.
"The Crown Prince is the chosen one of Heaven, a blessing to our Great Ye Kingdom! Long live His Majesty! Long live His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Long live His Majesty! Long live His Highness the Crown Prince!" the people shouted in unison, creating a grand scene of unity and solidarity.
Those who had previously resented Feng Jinghan becoming crown prince were so terrified by this scene that they knelt on the ground, trembling uncontrollably. They never imagined that the crown prince truly was the chosen one; their previous thoughts had been utterly laughable.
Emperor Fengzhao was overjoyed as he watched the divine dragon descend to earth. "My son is indeed the chosen one. He will surely lead our Great Ye Kingdom into a golden age."
Feng Jinghan was filled with excitement. He had some guesses that these things must have been created by immortals. But being in such an environment, he couldn't help but feel a surge of confidence, wondering if he really was the chosen one.
"I have been entrusted by Heaven and will dedicate myself to the Great Ye Kingdom."
As soon as Feng Jinghan finished speaking, unsurprisingly, another wave of cheers erupted from the crowd.
In a secluded courtyard, Feng Jingchi saw the divine dragon descending to earth from afar and knew that this day was Feng Jinghan's investiture ceremony. He couldn't help but feel a little bitter.
"The immortal really favors Feng Jinghan quite a bit."
Though not a prisoner, he was worse off than one. He had long since lost his ambition and only sought to survive. Feng Jingchi's figure was desolate as he lamented the injustice of fate. Thinking of Feng Jinghan's spirited appearance, he felt extremely depressed.
He didn't know that this kind of depression would accompany him constantly until the end of his life.
This is why Feng Jinghan has spared his life and even ensured he has no worries about food and clothing. Compared to death, for Feng Jingchi, the greater prosperity of the Great Ye Kingdom under his rule is what truly kills him and destroys his spirit.
Since Feng Jingchi was imprisoned, Shi Xinyi felt she had lost all face and locked herself in her small courtyard, rarely going out.
She looked up at the distant miracle, her heart filled with resentment. Originally, she planned to seduce Feng Jinghan, but before she could even take action, she was implicated by the foolish Feng Jinghan.
Now that Feng Jinghan has been made crown prince, she must find an opportunity to make Feng Jinghan feel pity for her.
Shi Xinyi dreamed of becoming empress, unaware that an even greater disaster awaited her in the future.
Unlike them, He Yanran was remarkably calm. Since An Ge left, He Yanran had thought about it for a long time. Although she felt unwilling, she no longer had the stubbornness to keep going until she hit a wall.
Of course, she didn't give up that position.
Now, thanks to her past life's experience, she has regained the attention of her father and grandfather, but seeing the false faces of her relatives, she feels somewhat weary.
He Yanran recalled what the immortal had once told her, "When will I be able to earn the respect of others?"
Thinking about this, He Yanran felt a sense of disgust towards her current life.
