Prince Chai said to the guests, "Thank you all for coming to my son's recognition ceremony. Princess Hong was murdered by a traitor and died during childbirth. Although I was heartbroken, I could do nothing about it. By a measure of fate, I was able to find my son and reunite with him. I have named him Yin Zhi and have him recorded in the family tree and ancestral hall. From now on, my son Yin Zhi will be the legitimate son of the royal family!"
After saying this, King Chai took the incense from the servant beside him, lit it on the candlestick, knelt on the cushion in front of Azhi, and the father and son bowed down together.
After three bows, the ceremony is completed.
Everyone around them bowed and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for recovering what was lost."
"Second Young Master is safe and sound."
After the worship, Azhi helped King Chai to stand up, and everyone saw his face.
Ah Zhi, dressed in red and looking like Pan An, made Yin Hong, who stood beside him, look like a grimy servant. Many girls blushed at the sight of Ah Zhi, covering their faces with fans and exchanging glances.
Everyone exclaimed in admiration, "The Second Young Master is truly extraordinary, quite like the prince's heroic demeanor in his youth."
Upon hearing this, Prince Chai said cheerfully, "It's natural for a son to resemble his father." He patted Ah Zhi, who was supporting him, and said, "Take the uncles to the outer hall for the feast."
Ah Zhi nodded, "Yes, father."
After saying that, he turned to Yin Hong, who had a cold face, and said, "Then please come out with me, brother."
Yin Hong didn't want to move, but facing King Chai's death stare, he had to go out with him.
He deliberately dawdled, and after Azhi left, he turned around and went to the Buddhist temple to find Princess Chai.
Buddhist Hall
The scent of sandalwood lingered in the room. Princess Chai knelt in front of the Bodhisattva, threading the Buddhist beads in her hands and muttering something.
Yin Hong knew that Princess Chai would never pay any attention to him at this moment, so he knelt beside her and waited for her to finish reading.
After a while, Princess Chai opened her eyes and asked, "Is the banquet about to start?"
Yin Hong said reluctantly, "Yes, father has already recorded that bitch in the family tree."
As he helped the princess to her feet, he said, "Mother, that Ah Zhi's identity is unknown, why don't you try to persuade him?"
The princess lowered her eyes. She had a bitter expression on her face, especially as she aged. The corners of her eyes and mouth drooped, making her look even more solemn. She put the Buddhist beads on her wrist and said, "Your father has made up his mind on this matter. Naturally, you and I cannot disobey."
Yin Hong thought about how everyone was praising Azhi just now, and he became more and more aggrieved. "If it were you, I would say we should thoroughly investigate Azhi's background, and the former princess. It was clearly a case of two deaths due to complications during childbirth. We should call out all the doctors who treated her and the servants who served her, and confront them one by one, and also..."
"shut up!"
The princess scolded, "This matter has been decided. If you dare to say such nonsense in front of your father, I will punish you according to the family rules."
Yin Hong was stunned by the scolding, and suddenly remembered what Yun Man had just said. Could it be that this matter was indeed related to his mother?
He asked tentatively, "What did mother do back then?"
The princess's eyes turned cold. "Why are you talking about this suddenly? Did someone say something to you?"
Facing the princess's expression, Yin Hong confessed without a second thought, "Yun Man said so."
The princess frowned, "Is she the eldest daughter of the Yun family who picked up Yin Zhi?"
"Yes, it's her. She failed to seduce the child before, and she has repeatedly offended me. Mother, it would be better to marry her and punish her properly, so that she won't keep talking nonsense like this."
The princess began to turn her Buddhist beads again, "I'll go talk to your father and ask him to take her in as his concubine."
Yin Hong's face was filled with joy. "Thank you, mother."
-
Delicacies and fine wines were placed on the table like flowing water, and everyone was toasting each other, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Prince Chai was in high spirits today and had drunk quite a bit. Now that he was drunk, Azhi helped him to the back to rest.
King Chai said to Azhi with deep emotion, "Finally, you have been allowed to return to your roots."
Ah Zhi said gently, "If my mother were still alive, she would definitely be happy for us to be reunited."
Prince Chai was already drunk, and now Ah Zhi's words brought tears to his eyes. He choked out, "Yes, your mother will definitely be happy."
Seeing that Prince Chai was so easily moved to tears, Ah Zhi changed the subject and said comfortingly, "Don't be sad, father. Mother must be thinking about you too."
King Chai agreed and said, "Yes, if your mother hadn't told me in a dream, I wouldn't have been able to find you."
Speaking of dreams, Azhi hesitated, "Actually, my mother also appeared in my dreams recently."
If it weren't for what happened last time, King Chai would have thought he was talking nonsense, but he had experienced it himself, so he believed in dreams without a doubt.
After hearing Azhi's words, King Chai anxiously asked, "What did she say?"
Azhi said with a hint of sadness, "Mother said that my reunion with father this time was not only due to his kindness, but also to the kindness of the eldest daughter of the Yun family. If she hadn't saved me, I wouldn't have lived to see you. So mother said that she hopes I can marry the eldest daughter as my wife."
"Miss Yun?"
Prince Chai instantly remembered the seductive look that had made him sick for days, and shook his head repeatedly, "How could such a vulgar woman be worthy of my son?"
Ah Zhi lowered his eyes. "Mother said that I asked father to take me back because I borrowed Miss Yun's blessing. If father doesn't agree, I will have no face to stay in Prince Chai's mansion anymore."
Prince Chai hesitated and said, "Is this... is this really what Aning said in her dream?"
"Absolutely true."
King Chai sighed, "Well, since it's Aning's wish, then your father will seek this marriage for you."
