Chapter 269 Congratulations Your Highness
"Hello, my Lords."
After Jiang Xun approached, he bowed to the important officials present.
Everyone in the court knew that their Crown Prince was particularly close to Lord Jiang.
Therefore, although everyone had different thoughts at this moment, they still either returned the greetings or nodded to Jiang Xun.
Seeing Jiang Xun walk straight to Shen Zhengsheng, the others knew what to do and went ahead.
Until this moment, the calm and reserved Shen Zhengsheng showed some joy and said in a low voice:
"Xiuzhi, the candidate for the crown prince has been decided. We will announce it to the world at the court tomorrow morning."
Jiang Xun had already made some guesses in his mind from the way everyone treated him just now. Now that he heard the confirmation, he couldn't help but frown.
At this time, Shen Zhengsheng couldn't help but ask about Mr. Lin again.
Jiang Xun answered them one by one, and then said: "There are people from the Crown Princess to accompany you over there, so you don't have to worry, father-in-law."
Shen Zhengsheng nodded and couldn't help but raised his hand and patted Jiang Xun on the shoulder.
As the saying goes, the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him. Now even he, the father-in-law, is no exception.
This child is really likable.
"Go ahead."
Shen Zhengsheng glanced into the Yangxin Palace. For the first time since Shen Jiasui's rebirth, he quickened his pace and caught up with Lu Yongzhu who was walking slowly ahead waiting for him.
Then a voice was heard in the palace: "Your Majesty, Lord Jiang requests to see you."
Zhao Yuanye, who was standing beside the couch, turned his head suddenly, his eyebrows and eyes sparkling, and shouted loudly: "Please come in!"
He had just taken a few steps forward when a young man in a sky-blue brocade robe stepped in.
"gentlemen!"
Zhao Yuanye's face was filled with unconcealable joy, at this moment he was like a young swallow throwing itself into someone's arms, he rushed forward and hugged Jiang Xun tightly.
Prince Rong also looked over when he heard the voice, but when he saw Jiang Xun's clothes, his eyes widened slightly, and then... his eyes showed deep meaning.
Jiang Xun first glanced at the scene in the hall, and when his eyes met with Prince Rong's, he did not miss the meaningful look in Prince Rong's eyes.
But he seemed unaware and lowered his head to look at Zhao Yuanye in front of him.
Zhao Yuanye tilted his little face up, his eyes red.
Although he was filled with joy just now, when he saw the gentleman now, for some reason, he felt a sense of inexplicable grievance in his heart, and said with a sob:
"Sir, Ye'er is the crown prince just like his father."
Jiang Xun's heart was soft and full of pity, and he half-knelt down in front of Zhao Yuanye.
Even though he knew it was against the rules, he still reached out his hand, and his warm palm landed on the top of Zhao Yuanye's head, rubbing it gently, and smiled:
"Yes, congratulations, Your Highness. You have become the crown prince that everyone wants."
As soon as these words were spoken, even Jiang Xun was in a trance for a moment.
The first time I met A Ji was when the prince was being selected as a study partner.
"Are you the Emperor's last disciple, Jiang Xun?"
"Your Highness, that's right."
"In that case, there is no need to choose. My study partner is this Mr. Jiang."
Everyone in the room was stunned.
He had already cupped his hands and saluted to Aji: "Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
With the call of "Your Highness the Crown Prince", they became good friends and confidants. For several years, they were very open with each other, and then...he entrusted his son to him at his bedside.
Your Highness, Axun has not let you down.
The crying child in your arms back then has now inherited your title and become the next crown prince.
A Xun dare not slack off and will assist Ye'er wholeheartedly to help him become a wise king respected by future generations, benefit the people and the country, and create a peaceful and prosperous era.
"Your Highness, may I have a word with His Majesty?"
Jiang Xun spoke with a smile.
Zhao Yuanye nodded repeatedly, his voice filled with impatience, "Then Ye'er will go find mother!"
"Okay, Your Highness, go ahead and tell the people around you to follow you. Don't be careless."
Jiang Xun patted Zhao Yuanye on the shoulder and slowly stood up.
Seeing that Zhao Yuanye had already walked out, he walked towards the dragon bed.
Prince Rong was also tactful and immediately took his leave from Emperor Sheng.
When the two men passed each other, Jiang Xun suddenly stopped and bowed deeply to Prince Rong.
Today’s success is inseparable from the great help of Prince Rong.
Prince Rong has already raised his hand to help.
Jiang Xun stood up. He knew what Prince Rong was worried about, so he didn't need to say anything. He just nodded seriously.
Seeing this, Prince Rong finally felt relieved.
A gentleman's promise is worth more than a thousand pounds. His Zhang'er...will be able to return to Beijing soon!
Thinking of this, Prince Rong walked quickly outside. When he was about to leave the inner hall, he couldn't help but look back.
He had no doubt that the tall and handsome young man beside the couch would be the most prominent figure in the Great Sheng Dynasty in the next few decades.
No one in the court, whether civil or military, can match him!
Okay, okay.
After living in fear and trembling with fear for decades, Prince Rong's Mansion can finally hold their heads high and live with dignity!
This home...
Prince Rong shook his head, then strode away without any reluctance.
.......
On the couch, Emperor Sheng already knew that Jiang Xun was coming, but he never made a sound.
He had just said in a condescending manner that Jiang Xun was just a dog he raised, but now, no matter what, he was unwilling to appear too embarrassed in front of Jiang Xun.
It was not until the footsteps stopped in front of the bed that Emperor Sheng barely broke free from the chaotic state of illness and fatigue, and forced himself to raise his eyelids.
When he saw Jiang Xun's face clearly, a fierce look flashed in Emperor Sheng's eyes. Just as he was about to glare at him, the sky-blue brocade robe on Jiang Xun suddenly caught his sight.
Such a familiar and unforgettable color instantly stung Emperor Sheng's eyes.
His pupils contracted sharply, and at this moment he seemed to see a figure walking out of his past memories in Jiang Xun.
On the night of Ji'er's death, she was wearing such a sky-blue brocade robe, her face was as white as frost and snow, and she lay weakly in his arms.
Ji'er seemed to have a lot to say, but as soon as he opened his mouth, trickles of blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth, winding down his chin and soaking the sky-blue collar on his chest, making it blindingly red.
"Father... your son... is unfilial."
"Crown Princess and... He Ye'er, Axun... Axun... Father, will you promise me...?"
Ji'er's eyes were half open with difficulty, and when she looked at him, her eyes were full of pain and reluctance, and even a hint of pleading.
He was completely panicked and nodded randomly, watching the bloodstains spreading on the sky-blue brocade robe, dripping slowly along the folds and onto his body.
He held Ji'er like this, holding his gradually cooling body, stroking Ji'er's face over and over again, confessing with tears streaming down his face.
"It's Father's fault! Ji'er, it's Father's fault!"
A heart full of regret and self-blame almost crushed his soul, leaving only a shell, trembling in endless panic and astonishment.
“Uh uh uh…”
A hoarse and broken sound came from his throat, Emperor Sheng's face turned pale, and he finally chose to close his eyes tightly.
It seems that in this way, all the unbearableness and sins of the past can be excluded.
But tears had already filled her eyes, and now they still rolled down uncontrollably, leaving a trail of wet tears.
