Chapter 95: Fatal Question



The next day, Yun Zheng did not go to the Shenwu Army.

Before daybreak, someone came from the palace.

There are only three days left before his wedding to Shen Luoyan.

According to the etiquette of the Daqian Dynasty, before the prince's wedding, he must go to the Taimiao to pay homage to his ancestors. This is to comfort the spirits of his ancestors in heaven and to pray for blessings from their ancestors and the prosperity of his offspring.

Yun Zheng sat there like a puppet, allowing the people from the palace to torment him.

Looking at himself dressed up in the bronze mirror, Yun Zheng was trying hard to think about how to make glass.

It's a pity that he could only come up with a rough idea.

He really couldn't remember the detailed recipe.

How great it would have been if I had known earlier that I was going to travel through time!

After about half an hour, Yun Zheng was finally cleaned up.

...

...

This was also the first time he wore formal attire after traveling through time.

Gorgeous is really gorgeous.

But ugly is really ugly!

Yun Zheng complained about his outfit in his mind.

After a simple breakfast, Yun Zheng was taken to the Taimiao.

On the way, people in the palace also told him that after paying homage to the Taimiao, the Ministry of Rites would arrange personnel to explain the entire wedding process to him and Shen Luoyan.

The entire process of a prince's wedding is extremely complicated and sophisticated. The entire process must be strictly carried out in accordance with etiquette and nothing can go wrong.

Yun Zheng estimated that after all this trouble, a day would definitely be wasted.

well!

Why make it so complicated!

A waste of time and money!

If you have this money, wouldn’t it be better to keep it for yourself?

With a heart full of resentment, Yun Zheng came to the Taimiao.

However, he could not enter the Taimiao to pay homage immediately and had to wait until Emperor Wen finished the court meeting.

After waiting for two incense sticks, Emperor Wen finally arrived with the Empress.

Originally, Yun Zheng's biological mother should be involved in this kind of thing.

Unfortunately, his biological mother had died long ago, so the queen had to take his place.

Paying homage to the Imperial Ancestral Temple sounds simple, but the process is extremely complicated.

After a whole morning of hard work, Yun Zheng finally paid homage to all his ancestors.

After paying homage to the Taimiao, Emperor Wen asked the empress to return to her bedroom first.

Looking at the queen's back, Emperor Wen couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.

After the sixth prince gets married, it’s time to start the process of deposing the queen.

The Queen has been with him all the way and have been husband and wife for decades. It would be a lie to say that he has no feelings for her.

But he had to depose the queen.

The queen has no other children, so it is impossible for her to sit on the throne again.

After a sigh, Emperor Wen ordered again: "Sixth brother, come with me to have dinner first!"

"yes!"

Yun Zheng accepted the order, but he was filled with emotion.

Damn it!

Finally I got a meal!

Yun Zheng followed behind Emperor Wen and discovered something was wrong as he walked.

Isn't this the way to the imperial kitchen?

Where is he taking me?

With full of doubts, Yun Zheng finally followed Emperor Wen to the destination.

East Palace!

Yun Zheng's eyelids twitched, and his mind started working rapidly.

This old guy brought me to the East Palace for dinner?

What's going on?

This is the prince’s eastern palace?

This old fellow wouldn't want to make himself the crown prince just because he had a drink with Qin Liu, right?

impossible!

Definitely impossible!

This old guy definitely has a deeper meaning!

They came to the kitchen of the Eastern Palace and sat down. After the palace maids and eunuchs served the dishes, Emperor Wen asked everyone to leave, leaving only the father and son in the kitchen.

"Do you know why I brought you here to dine?"

Emperor Wen looked up at Yun Zheng, who had a confused look on his face.

"have no idea……"

Yun Zheng shook his head blankly.

This time, he really couldn't guess what his cheap old man was thinking.

Emperor Wen sighed softly and then asked, "How many brothers are there in total?"

"Eleven."

Yun Zheng answered honestly.

They did have eleven brothers, but the seventh and tenth died young.

The prince committed suicide again because his rebellion failed.

Eleven brothers, three are dead!

The youngest, Lao Shiyi, is just over five years old.

"Yeah! Eleven!"

Emperor Wen sighed and said to himself, "You definitely can't be the crown prince. The eleventh brother is still young. Tell me, among your other six brothers, who do you think can take on the important task of crown prince?"

"ah?"

Yun Zheng looked at Emperor Wen in astonishment, his mind racing.

What the hell is this old guy doing?

What's the point of asking me about such a trivial matter as who should be appointed as the crown prince?

Go ask your ministers!

Otherwise, go ask that old rogue Qin Liugan!

Old guy, you can’t play like this!

Isn't this just digging a hole for yourself to jump into?

"Ah what?"

Emperor Wen glared at Yun Zheng and said, "I'm asking you a question!"

"this……"

Yun Zheng looked at Emperor Wen bitterly, "Father, even the important officials in the court don't dare to say anything about the appointment of a crown prince, so how dare I, your son, say anything!"

"Just say it when I tell you to!"

Emperor Wen was displeased and said, "I am the one asking you this. Can I punish you? Among all your brothers, I can only ask you..."

As he spoke, Emperor Wen sighed deeply again.

Yun Zheng didn't know whether the old man was acting or serious, he just hung his head and didn't say a word.

Don't talk nonsense for now, let's see what the situation is.

Seeing Yun Zheng bowing his head and keeping silent, Emperor Wen suddenly became even more displeased and said indifferently: "Why, do you still want me to ask you to speak?"

Yun Zheng raised his head slightly, deliberately showing an embarrassment, "Your son... Your son..."

Yun Zheng hesitated for a long time but couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Emperor Wen was furious when he saw him like this, and suddenly raised his voice, "Speak!"

Yun Zheng suddenly shuddered, looked at Emperor Wen timidly, and then said hesitantly: "Your son... Your son thinks that your third brother can be... the crown prince..."

After saying that, Yun Zheng quickly lowered his head and pretended to be very frightened.

"The third one?"

Emperor Wen frowned and looked at Yun Zheng with confusion. "You and your third brother seem to be the ones who don't get along the best, right? Don't you still suspect that your third brother sent someone to assassinate you? Now you are actually recommending your third brother to sit on the throne of the crown prince?"

"I must have wrongly blamed my third brother before."

Yun Zheng lowered his head and said, "Third brother apologized to me a few days ago. The fact that he apologized to me shows that he is still very kind..."

He now has no idea what Emperor Wen is thinking.

Anyway, let’s just push the third one!

I have recommended him to be the crown prince. If he causes trouble for me again in the future, I am afraid that my father will be even more cruel when dealing with him!

Anyway, I can't be the crown prince, so it doesn't matter who becomes the crown prince.

It’s a shame to cheat everyone!

"oh?"

Emperor Wen looked at Yun Zheng with great interest, "Tell me, how did your third brother apologize to you?"

Old stuff!

Keep pretending!

He just didn't believe that the old man didn't know that Yun Li had apologized to him.

Yun Zheng secretly complained in his heart, and then slowly told him about Yun Li's previous apology.

After hearing Yun Zheng's words, Emperor Wen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"You really think so?"

Emperor Wen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Aren't you afraid that your third brother is just pretending to reconcile with you, and will settle accounts with you after his position as crown prince is secure? You should know that from the hunting incident, it can be seen that your third brother is not an honest man."

have to!

Here comes the fatal question!
