Chapter 311 The Busy Emperor of Chu

"It seems that Chu Yan had a plan in mind for this matter, which is why it has progressed so smoothly."

Pei Chuyan did not seek credit, but simply cupped his hands and said, "Your Highnesses, there is no need to flatter me. My original intention was only to redress the injustice done to my aunt."

The prince knew Pei Chuyan, and seeing him like this, he didn't say much, but just smiled and encouraged him: "Chuyan will definitely become a pillar of our Great Chu in the future."

The Second Prince naturally agreed with the Crown Prince's opinion, and his face was full of admiration for Pei Chuyan.

As the three were talking, the eunuch outside ran in hurriedly and said that His Majesty had arrived.

But before the three of them could leave, the Great Chu Emperor came in and said with a radiant smile, "What a coincidence that you three are here today."

He had had suspicions before, suspecting that Pei Chuyan was also secretly supporting the prince, but now it seems that he was negligent.

Is this secret support?

But faced with such a thing, he was only happy, without the slightest suspicion.

Now, the Emperor of Great Chu has devoted all his efforts to the Crown Prince, and is determined to train him into a qualified crown prince. With people like Jin Yu and Prince Pei by his side, he should be more at ease.

Thinking of this, suddenly an idea came to the mind of the Emperor of Great Chu.

He turned his head and looked at Pei Chuyan in front of him, motioning the three of them to sit down, and then said seriously: "Now that Prince Pei can take charge of his own affairs, I think it would be better for him to inherit the title of Duke of Anguo as soon as possible and enter the court as soon as possible."

When the Emperor of Great Chu said this, not only Pei Chuyan, but also the Crown Prince and the Second Prince were stunned.

My father has never been an impulsive person. How could he suddenly make such a decision?

But the prince and the others haven't said anything yet.

Pei Chuyan knelt down and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I think this is not the right time."

"I am still young, and Princess Yong'an is still young. I promised the Empress Dowager that I would protect Princess Yong'an personally, and I must not break my promise."

"Now that I am in the palace, I can also help the Crown Prince."

Pei Chuyan's last sentence has made his position very clear.

He will support the crown prince just like Your Majesty does.

The Great Chu Emperor just had this idea suddenly, but he didn't expect Pei Chuyan to react like this, so he just waved his hand and said, "Forget it, this is fine."

After saying this, the Great Chu Emperor turned to look at the Crown Prince and said, "You have worked hard during this period, but now is not the time to rest. The positions of Minister of Works and Minister of Revenue are vacant and need to be filled as soon as possible. You must hurry up."

The prince never expected that his father would entrust him with such an important task.

He opened his mouth to refuse: "Father, this important matter should be decided by your father. I dare not interfere."

The Great Chu Emperor waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be so modest. You have handled things properly and in line with my wishes. I am relieved to leave these matters to you."

The Second Prince looked at the Crown Prince and was genuinely happy for him.

In the past, the Second Prince would have certainly been jealous of his brother the Crown Prince, thinking that he was indecisive and unable to handle heavy responsibilities, and that his father had placed too much trust in him. But now, the Second Prince no longer has that thought, and his heart is filled with admiration and support for the Crown Prince.

The Emperor of Great Chu is very busy today.

After visiting the prince, he felt relieved and went to Qingyun Palace.

Song Qingyan had received the imperial edict early on and was now waiting outside the palace.

"It's so hot, why bother to go out!" The Great Chu Emperor saw Song Qingyan standing in the corridor, and hurriedly took a few steps and took her hand, "Just wait inside."

Perhaps everything had been settled. No worries were on everyone's mind, and the atmosphere in Qingyun Palace was very relaxed.

"Where is Wanwan?" The Emperor of Great Chu looked around Song Qingyan, but did not see Lu Xingwan, so he asked hurriedly.

Song Qingyan sighed and said, "Your Majesty, please follow me."

Lu Xingwan was fighting crickets in the backyard.

These days, she was very willing to go to the Yu Garden. Jinxin said that most of the time, the princess played with the fish by the river.

A complete dandy boy.

Since Lu Xingwan awakened his spiritual power, he is more willing to play with these small fish and shrimps.

She also tried flowers, plants, trees, etc., but nothing happened.

I think the two flowers that day must have been somewhat "flowery" to allow her to hear the sound.

"This girl is new here. She looks stupid. It's a pity that she was crushed to death."

[If you keep talking nonsense, I will crush all of you to death. Not only you, but also your companions in the garden.]

【Crush them all to death.】

Little Cricket naturally couldn't hear what Lu Xingwan was thinking and just kept complaining about her.

But her inner voice reached the ears of the two people behind her.

They were already used to her eccentricities, so naturally they didn't pay too much attention to them and didn't realize at all that she was talking to the two crickets.

"Wanwan." The voice of the Emperor of Chu sounded behind Lu Xingwan.

Lu Xingwan turned around quickly.

【Father is here.】

The word "father" came out of his mouth naturally, shocking everyone present again.

Jin Xin couldn't help but look at Song Qingyan excitedly: "Our Princess Yong'an is really a child prodigy. She is less than one year old and she can already speak!"

Jinxin's words made the Emperor of Great Chu even happier.

He immediately took a few steps forward, hugged Lu Xingwan in his arms, and wanted to kiss her.

But Lu Xingwan pushed him away.

[Father, men and women should not touch each other, please don't kiss me casually. ]

[Okay, this is my excuse. I just can't accept being kissed by a man. Now it's good enough for you to hug me.]

Although the Emperor of Great Chu showed a hint of displeasure, he quickly looked away.

After all, his daughter is a fairy, so it is understandable.

After carrying Wanwan into the inner room, the Great Chu Emperor started talking to Song Qingyan about serious matters: "I just went to Xingyang Palace. Now the Crown Prince has handled things properly and in an orderly manner, and he can handle things on his own."

Song Qingyan was naturally happy to hear the Great Chu Emperor praising the Crown Prince, but she just said modestly: "Your Majesty taught me well."

As if she felt that it was not good, she added: "Jin Yao is also a studious and hard-working person."

The Great Chu Emperor didn't care about these, and just continued to look at Song Qingyan: "Now that Jin Yao can handle state affairs, I want to fulfill a wish I had many years ago."

Rather than being his own wish, it was more like the wish of both him and Song Qingya.

"I want to take you and your daughter to the south for a walk."

As soon as the Great Chu Emperor said this, the inner room suddenly fell silent.

In addition to being shocked, Song Qingyan also felt a little touched. Her sister had indeed told her before that if she had the chance, she would most like to take a trip to the south of the Yangtze River. She didn't expect that the Emperor of Great Chu still remembered her.
