Lu Qingyan raised an eyebrow and said bluntly, "Why be so polite, sir? You are welcome to come anytime you wish, there's no need to stand on ceremony."
Hua Yeyu frowned and objected: "Without rules, there can be no order. Since Your Highness has other guests, it is not my place to disturb you."
After saying that, he asked Lu Qingyan for her opinion: "His Majesty came here specifically to talk to you about the matter of ascending the throne. I wonder what Your Highness thinks?"
Lu Qingyan was very open-minded: "Since the opportunity is right in front of us, why bother to go through all that trouble to ask for it?"
Hua Yeyu nodded: "Your Highness is right."
After discussing this matter, Hua Yeyu talked to Lu Qingyan about many future plans before taking her leave.
Finally, Hua Yeyu reminded Hua Yeshuang, "These past two days, my brother has seemed rather listless. If Your Highness has the time, please take him out for a walk to clear his head."
Lu Qingyan agreed to all of them, indicating that she already knew.
Hua Yeyu was about to leave, but after taking two steps, she turned back to Lu Qingyan and said, "The enthronement should have been a grand affair, but His Majesty didn't take it seriously. This has wronged Your Highness."
Regardless of what Ren Junhe was really thinking, Lu Qingyan could still guess it.
Ren Junhe chose Ren Fengliu not only because she was the Crown Princess, but also because Ren Fengliu's presence was too weak. Even if she were to don the dragon robe, she might not be a person with her own ideas. In the future, even if Ren Junhe had already retired, she could still interfere in court affairs.
The news that Ren Junhe was going to abdicate and give way to a worthy successor finally reached the inner palace, making Ren Quran and Ren Fengyue, who had been sitting comfortably, somewhat uneasy.
Ren Fengyue immediately shouted that she wanted to find Ren Junhe and ask her to uphold justice.
“Father, Mother Empress clearly promised me that I would succeed to the throne, so why did she suddenly change her mind and let that fat eldest sister…?” Ren Fengyue was a little embarrassed to say it: “Someone who looks like her should just hang herself with a rope to avoid sullying other people’s eyes, but I didn’t expect Mother Empress to take a fancy to her.”
Ren Quran was not as pessimistic as Ren Fengyue. Seeing Ren Fengyue's state, she spoke up to persuade her: "Fengyue, why are you in such a hurry? Your mother is the emperor, and her word is law. Since she has already promised you, would she treat you unfairly? A moment of patience will bring peace. There is no need to fight for a moment's pride."
Ren Fengyue pouted and said with dissatisfaction, "What's the use of saying you won't treat us badly? Eldest sister is about to ascend the throne. What's the use of Mother Empress saying anything else? Father, you should fight for what you want yourself. Your attitude is really disgusting."
After speaking, Ren Fengyue cautiously raised his eyelids to look at Ren Quran. He still had some awe for this father, though he didn't know if it was more respect or fear, but he dared not be presumptuous in front of him.
Ren Quran didn't even raise his head, waving his hand to dismiss the servants around him: "I am the one who disgusts you, your father, and you dare to say anything."
Ren Fengyue still couldn't quite make out what he was saying, and she was just annoyed that there might be some deeper meaning behind it.
His greatest goal has always been to ascend the throne, but he himself has little talent, and the two people she used to rely on are now unable to help her.
Ren Quran was so angry at his son's clueless behavior that he almost vomited blood: "Fengyue, you need to know what you want before I can help you get it. If the position of Phoenix King is rightfully yours, your father will help you take it back."
