Chapter 2897 A Decided Matter
"yes."
Zhu Chengxuan responded, then looked up at his father and said softly, "Then father... father, do you want to go with us?"
Zhu Feng thought about it, shook his head and said, "I won't be going there these two days."
"……yes."
Zhu Chengxuan seemed a little lost and lowered his head.
Zhu Feng glanced at him again, then said, "You've been getting very close to the Imperial Concubine recently."
Zhu Chengxuan said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I have received a lot of care from the Imperial Concubine these days. Moreover, my brothers and sisters have returned to Yonghe Palace. I also want to visit them more often. If your Majesty does not want me to go more often, then your Majesty -"
Zhu Feng said: "Don't think too much."
“…”
"You might as well go visit her more often. The Imperial Concubine is a sincere person, and she's also a rare insightful person in the harem. It would be good for you to listen to her more."
Zhu Chengxuan said, "Before my mother passed away, she often told me this."
"oh?"
When mentioning Empress Renxiao, Zhu Feng's expression darkened slightly.
Then he looked at Zhu Chengxuan with a gentler look: "Your mother and the Imperial Concubine are gone, you must be very sad too, right?"
Zhu Chengxuan's eyes turned red.
He whispered, "Yes."
“…”
"Every time I walk in the palace, I think of the Prince of Yan's Mansion in the past."
“…”
"The people in Prince Yan's Mansion have already..."
At this point, his throat choked, and he took a deep breath before continuing, "However, the deceased is gone. Although this son is sad, he also knows that he cannot always wallow in grief. The living can still pursue their dreams. This son will work hard to improve himself and share his father's worries."
“…”
"Although the Imperial Concubine is not my biological son, she taught me with great care, and I will never forget."
Zhu Feng said: "It's great that you have this intention."
After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, go visit the imperial concubine more often, and spend more time with your brothers and sisters. You must remember - no matter how high your position is or how far you see the scenery, don't forget the people behind you."
“…”
Hearing this, Zhu Chengxuan was stunned for a moment.
You know, although Zhu Feng taught him a lot, he never said such words.
The higher the position, the farther the scenery.
As the King of Wei, what higher position could he reach and what further scenery could he see in Shenyang?
Just thinking about this, Zhu Chengxuan's heart trembled.
He glanced at Zhu Feng, who had already closed his eyes, as if he was a little tired after talking for so long. He began to rest and said lightly, "Remember what I told you."
"...I, your son, dare not forget."
Zhu Chengxuan bowed to him and then left the imperial study.
As soon as he walked out of the imperial study, the scorching air outside instantly hit him, making him sweat all over. However, he shivered inexplicably and reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
Xiao Shunzi, who was standing at the door, said, "What's wrong, Your Highness? You don't look well."
Zhu Chengxuan waved his hand: "It's okay."
He was about to turn and leave when he thought for a moment and said, "Eunuch Shun, the emperor's injury isn't healing very well. I'll have some medicine delivered later. You can just mix the medicine from the Imperial Pharmacy with the medicine for the emperor as before and don't mention me."
Xiao Shunzi shook his head.
But she still smiled and said, "I understand."
After Zhu Chengxuan left the imperial study, he asked everyone around him to leave and went to Yonghe Palace alone. As soon as he walked into the gate, he saw Tingfu and others running in and out, looking very busy. He walked in and saw Nan Yan sitting in a chair. She had just instructed something, and several young eunuchs were running out again.
Zhu Chengxuan stepped forward and said, "Greetings to the Imperial Concubine."
"Your Highness is here."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "You're here early. The food hasn't been delivered from the imperial kitchen yet. Xinping hasn't finished his get out of class yet either."
Zhu Chengxuan said, "I just went to the Imperial Study to report back. Father knew I was going to have lunch with the Empress, so he asked me to come earlier."
"Really?"
"I wonder what the Queen is busy with?"
Nan Yan said, "It's not a big deal. Tomorrow we will hold the ceremony to confer honorary title on Consort Yao, and we will have her move to Chonghua Palace. This is my first time handling this, so it's a bit chaotic."
Zhu Chengxuan said, "Your Majesty, you can ask Eunuch Yu to come. He used to do things like this."
Nan Yan smiled bitterly and said, "He's old. Even your father doesn't allow him to run around much. I don't want to make him, an old man, go out to do things in this hot weather."
Speaking of this, Zhu Chengxuan sighed lightly.
Said: "Yes, he is old."
Nan Yan waved her hand, and Ruoshui and the others immediately brought in tea. Zhu Chengxuan sat down next to her. Nan Yan said, "He is getting older, and His Highness has grown up too. He will still need you to be the pillar of Chengtian in the future."
Zhu Chengxuan glanced at her, wanted to say something, but stopped.
Nan Yan saw that he was hesitant to speak and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhu Chengxuan said softly, "When I left the Imperial Study today, my father told me that no matter how high I climbed or how far I saw, I should never forget the people behind me."
“…”
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this.
She had been waiting ever since Zhu Feng asked her that question. Although Zhu Feng had not yet officially announced when the King of Wei would be enthroned as the Crown Prince, these words were already a clear hint to the King of Wei himself.
You know, no matter whether Zhu Feng hesitated or made a decision, he never revealed his actions in front of King Wei himself.
Firstly, I didn't want to arouse any thoughts from him.
Secondly, he didn't want to cause any disturbance in the imperial court.
Now that he has hinted so clearly, this matter can basically be said to be a done deal.
Nan Yan felt both relieved and sighing in her heart.
This child is finally reaching this step, but he may not know how much blood and tears have been shed by so many people to get to this step.
Nan Yan said softly, "Your father's words are all profound, as long as you understand them. If you understand, you must do your part well. You are the eldest son and the legitimate son, so you should share more of his worries."
Zhu Chengxuan said, "I understand."
While the two were talking, there were people walking around in the yard.
Zhu Chengxuan saw two young eunuchs carrying a folding screen out, and then he remembered something and said, "Oh, my lady, why did the emperor suddenly confer a title on that Concubine Yao?"
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly and turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"
Zhu Chengxuan frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Your Highness, I know that the harem's canonization is not my business. But this Concubine Yao, I have never heard of her serving my father and making great contributions before, so how did she suddenly get promoted to a concubine?"
