Chapter 2351 Prince Yin Jing!
Hearing this, Zhu Feng frowned slightly.
Just as he was about to say something, Prince Wei Zhu Chengxuan stood up beside him. "Father."
Zhu Feng looked at him: "Hmm?"
"Son, this son has something to say to Master Gu."
“…”
What he meant was that if someone wanted to propose marriage, he would be the one to initiate it.
If this is a difficult time, he hopes to overcome it by himself.
A hint of appreciation flashed across Zhu Feng's eyes, but he didn't say anything. He just nodded slightly: "Yeah."
Zhu Chengxuan turned around and said to Gu Tingqiu, "Master Gu."
“…”
Gu Tingqiu looked at him with a complicated expression.
Zhu Chengxuan said seriously, "Master Gu must also know that I have always been in love with Qi Qing and hope to spend my life with her. However, Master Gu has always disagreed. I think he has his own considerations."
“…”
"You don't want to be known as a power-hungry person."
Gu Tingqiu frowned slightly and didn't respond, but by doing so, he tacitly agreed.
Zhu Chengxuan said seriously, "If Qiqing really married into the royal family, in the eyes of ordinary people, it might be seen as 'climbing the ladder of power and influence,' but Lord Gu is a man of his stature, so how could he not know the true meaning of marrying into the royal family?"
Gu Tingqiu looked up at him.
Zhu Chengxuan glanced at Zhu Feng and Nan Yan, then said, "A good relationship doesn't necessarily mean a woman is dependent on a man, nor does it mean the poor cling to the powerful. It's about two people becoming better versions of themselves in this relationship."
“…”
"A good relationship is not just about enjoyment, it's also about responsibility."
“…”
"Marrying into the royal family naturally brings power and nobility, but one also needs to have equal ability to truly bear such a blessing."
“…”
"Master Gu, Qiqing and I are both young people. In your eyes, we may seem childish and impulsive, and we are not as thorough as you in doing things. But precisely because of this, I am willing to join hands with Qiqing to face the hardships in the days ahead and overcome them together."
“……!”
After hearing these words, Gu Tingqiu's expression changed a little.
He didn't expect that the King of Wei would say that.
Even the imperial concubine Nanyan beside her was a little surprised.
Only then did she understand the meaning of the look the Prince of Wei had just given the Emperor and herself. Although she had not raised the Prince of Wei, she had brought him back to Zhu Feng's side and had witnessed her journey from a court lady to a noble concubine.
He also witnessed the hardships that the emperor and himself had endured over the years.
A good relationship is one that allows each other to become better versions of themselves.
Zhu Feng, through the trials and tribulations of these years, has smoothed out his past violent temper and bloodlust, becoming kind and generous. Although his temper remains unchanged, when it comes to handling major matters, he no longer needs others to help him suppress his murderous intent.
And I...
She is no longer the willful, impulsive Si Nanyan.
Now, she is facing the turbulent situation in the harem. Although she cannot control it all, she is confident about it.
Even though Zhu Feng had lost his memory and was covered in scars, they never thought of leaving each other or escaping from their responsibilities. Instead, they stayed firmly in their positions, slowly honing themselves and shaping themselves into better versions of themselves.
They never indulged in pleasure, but practiced and made progress.
Zhu Chengxuan understands this very well.
The last time he said those words to Zhu Feng in Yikun Palace, he had probably made up his mind to go down this path, and on this path, he firmly chose Qi Qing as his partner.
Facing the determined gaze of King Wei, this time, it was Gu Tingqiu who hesitated.
He looked back at Gu Qiqing, and for a moment, he seemed to have no idea how to respond.
While he was hesitating, Xu Shifeng, who was sitting opposite him, showed a relieved smile on his face.
Not only for the child, but also for the Queen.
Before her death, the thing that Empress Renxiao was most concerned about was probably this child. Although she seemed to have let go of the position of crown prince at that time, after all, a mother worries about her child even when he is far away. Although she was the one who was leaving, she still worried about the child she left behind.
Now, seeing Zhu Chengxuan have such an understanding, Xu Shifeng felt greatly relieved.
I said to Queen Renxiao in my heart: This child has finally grown up.
Even Xu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting next to him, looked at Zhu Chengxuan in astonishment, then covered her mouth, smiled secretly, and gave a thumbs up to Gu Qiqing opposite her.
Gu Qiqing's face turned even redder.
Zhu Feng listened to these words, and although he was satisfied in his heart, his face remained expressionless.
He only said, "Gu Aiqing."
"ah!"
Gu Tingqiu raised his head and looked at him with a complicated expression.
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "Gu Aiqing, you just said that if Qi Qing married the King of Wei, it would cause worry to me and the Concubine. Actually, you don't have to worry about that."
"oh……?"
"I and the Concubine won't worry about this."
Hearing this, Nan Yan turned around and looked at him in surprise.
No matter what, this was the Prince of Wei marrying a daughter-in-law. As the Emperor's father, and as the Imperial Concubine holding the Phoenix Seal, how could he not worry about it? After the wedding, it was natural for him to teach the young couple.
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "The King of Wei is old enough and can't stay in the palace forever."
“…”
"I have always thought about finding him a marriage, and after the marriage, I will let him leave the palace and live his own life."
“…”
"Besides, I have already planned to let him serve as Jingzhao Yin. He will have more things to do."
“……!”
When these words were spoken, the people in the hall were shocked again.
Jingzhao Yin!
The emperor wants the King of Wei to be the prefect of Jingzhao!
If it were any other position, or letting someone else be the Jingzhao Yin, it wouldn't be a big deal, but you have to know that Zhu Chengxuan is the King of Wei, that is, a prince, letting him be the Jingzhao Yin, then -
Four big words appeared in everyone's mind.
Prince Yin Jing!
Everyone knows what this means.
This is an unwritten convention in the Great Yan Dynasty. The heir to the dynasty will first be canonized as a prince, and then the prince will serve as the Jingzhao Yin. As long as these two conditions are met, the identity of the heir to the dynasty is basically determined.
Last time, because of Feng Shu, Zhu Feng, while not in a clear mind, appointed Prince Ning as the Jingzhao Yin, which caused a great chaos.
And this time, Zhu Feng was absolutely sober.
In other words—
He already intended to make the King of Wei his heir and his crown prince!
Nan Yan took a deep breath.
Even Zhu Chengxuan himself was a little shocked. He stared at Zhu Feng blankly and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Zhu Feng turned around again, still smiling, but his smile gave people a sense of invisible pressure, and looked at Gu Tingqiu.
"My dear, what is your decision?"
