Half a month later, Feng Qinghuang and Rong Qi finally returned to the Azure Dragon Kingdom.
After sending Feng Qinghuang home, Rong Qi went to the palace. There, he told Rong Yuan everything that had happened in the Holy Feather Kingdom and its outcome. Although this matter was a knot in Rong Qi's heart, how could he not know that it was also a knot in his uncles' hearts!
Jiaojiao will tell him from his uncle's side; he only needs to tell his uncle, the emperor, and his father, the Prince of Rong's mansion.
After listening, Rong Yuan asked him, "Does Aqi want to reclaim his identity?"
Rong Qi shook his head: "No need, I'm fine as I am now. As for the Rong Prince's Mansion, I will tell Rong Li the truth. If he wants the title of heir, I can give it back to him. Whether he has this title or not, I can still marry Jiaojiao."
Rong Yuan's eyelids twitched when he heard Rong Qi's words. So, whether you restore your identity or not is just so you can marry your Jiaojiao, and it has nothing to do with anything else, right?
He didn't bother asking any more questions. This kid was completely infatuated with Jiaojiao; his heart was entirely with her, and all he talked about was Jiaojiao. His head was throbbing with pain!
He understands the child's feelings, but could you please stop calling him "Jiaojiao" all the time? It makes him think of "Jiaojiao" all the time.
"Fine, you can do whatever you want. Anyway, the Phoenix Prince's Mansion probably won't let you marry their daughter so easily, since she's not even sixteen yet. Besides, she hasn't been down the mountain for long and hasn't had much time to spend with her family. You'd better think carefully about what to do!"
Rong Yuan felt that Feng Qingcang wouldn't let Rong Qi have his way so easily; he wanted to see what the kid would do. This was going to be interesting; there was going to be a good show.
Rong Qi looked at Rong Yuan with amusement and curled her lips. This uncle of hers was really boring. He was curious about everything and wanted to meddle in everything.
"Uncle, you can enjoy yourself, I'm going home now."
After Rong Qi finished speaking, he got up and left. Rong Yuan didn't stop him; he knew Rong Qi would confront him when he got back. After all, there was another child in the Rong Prince's mansion who had long coveted Rong Qi's position as heir apparent.
"Be careful on the road."
Hearing this, Eunuch Hong, who was standing behind Rong Yuan, thought to himself with dissatisfaction.
Your Majesty, the one who should be concerned about safety is someone else!
Rong Yuan was right. After returning home, Rong Qi summoned Rong Zhan and Xiao Muqing for a family meeting that evening to clarify the matter.
Xiao Muqing and Rong Zhan exchanged a glance: "Qi'er, are you really going to tell them about this?"
Rong Qi nodded: "Yes, Father and Mother, you know Rong Li's feelings. Now that I'm out of danger and won't implicate anyone, let's just tell them the whole story. As for Rong Li's choice, I respect his decision."
Rong Zhan sighed. They had always known Rong Li's thoughts, but given the large number of people involved, they could only try their best to dissuade him and not tell him the truth. However, if they told him the truth, and he still cared about the position of heir, it would mean that their relationship with Qi'er would only be that of uncle and nephew. After all, how could they bear such a sudden change in their nearly twenty-year-long father-son relationship…
However, even if things are made clear, it's still unfair to Li'er.
After dinner, the entire family of five was in the study of the Rong Prince's residence, with Rong Yi and Rong Xin watching outside. They could talk with peace of mind.
Rong Zhan, who was sitting at the head of the table, spoke first: "Li'er, Qing'er, I called you here today to tell you something about Qi'er's background. He is not actually the child of your father and your mother. To be precise, your mother and I are his uncle and aunt."
Upon hearing her father's words, Rong Qing looked incredulous. How could this be!
Rong Li, however, kept her eyes lowered, though she was secretly overjoyed.
Is it finally going to be made public? Then shouldn't the position of crown prince be returned to me?
Rong Zhan sighed: "Twenty years ago, your aunt, Rong Qing, the eldest princess of Qinglong Kingdom, fell in love at first sight with Crown Prince Di Junlin, who had secretly run away from Shengyu Kingdom. After that, she married Di Junlin as part of a peace treaty between the two countries. However, a few years after the marriage, she was falsely accused of treason and ended up having her entire family wiped out."
"The secret guards sent by your royal uncle only managed to bring back Qi'er, who was barely alive. After bringing him back, we thought of giving him an identity, partly to evade the pursuit of the Holy Feather Kingdom, and partly to keep him by our side so we could take better care of him. At that time, Qi'er was deeply traumatized because he witnessed the murder of his parents. At first, he was unwilling to approach anyone, and we could only slowly comfort him. Your royal uncle had only recently ascended the throne, so he simply didn't have time to take care of him. So he was placed in our family. Then came the birth of Li'er and Qing'er, and you know everything that happened after that."
