“…”
What’s going on?
The wet nurse and the Zhu family father and son looked at Feng Changye in confusion.
They didn't quite understand why the emperor suddenly showed such a touching expression while hugging the little prince.
In the end, the only explanation is the bond between father and son.
Under their confused gaze, Feng Changye proudly experienced the happiness that only he could understand.
How can a group of vulgar people understand the interaction between father and son?
Tsk tsk!
After a while, the little guy seemed to be going to sleep and no longer made any sound.
He reluctantly handed his son to the wet nurse, and then picked up his daughter.
He lifted his daughter up and coaxed her with a smile, "Aqiong, say hello to your father, okay? Aqiong, your father's little Aqiong, smile--"
Unfortunately, Arjun is weaker than his brother, his five senses are not as sharp as his brother's, and he has no active desire for the time being.
No matter how Feng Changye teased him, Aqiong ignored his father and looked calm and cold.
Feng Changye kissed his daughter's face and handed her to the wet nurse with regret.
After watching the wet nurses carry the brother and sister away, he walked back to the Zhu family father and son.
He continued to talk about what had just happened.
"When we go to court tomorrow, I plan to appoint Xiao'er as the Crown Prince and Aqiong as the Princess of Yuzhang—"
He looked at Zhu Huaining and Zhu Xuanyuan and said with a smile, "Father-in-law, Big Brother, you two must stand on my side in the court tomorrow. Don't be like those stubborn ministers and say something unreasonable to me."
“…” Zhu Xuanyuan closed his mouth silently.
He was just about to say that the little prince had just been born, not even a month old, and it was unreasonable to immediately appoint him as the Crown Prince...
He looked at the overbearing emperor's brother-in-law, then silently turned to look at his father.
Veteran, please take action quickly.
Zhu Huaining glanced at his son, held his forehead and looked at Feng Changye helplessly.
He advised, "Your Majesty, I understand your fatherly desire to give the best things in the world to your children. However, it is truly too early to appoint a crown prince..."
Feng Changye interrupted the old man and said arrogantly, "Not too late, father-in-law, do you think I've been calling him the little prince just for fun? He was already my little prince before he was even born!"
Zhu Huaining was about to speak again, but Feng Changye raised his hand to stop him.
"Father-in-law, let's discuss Arjun's title."
Feng Changye motioned for Xiao Yuanzi to take out the map of the territory and place it on the table. He then pointed to a few places and said, "Yuzhang County, Hanyang County, Jinling County, Luoyang County, these counties can all be fiefs for my Aqiong. Father-in-law, eldest brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother, which one do you think should be given to Aqiong?"
Zhu Huaining and his eldest and fourth sons looked at each other helplessly.
To grant the princess her fiefdom, we have to wait until she comes of age!
When the princess is still under age, you can just give her a title that is full of blessings and good intentions, such as Fu'an, Anning, Anle, etc.
Which emperor would give his daughter such a large fiefdom just one day after she was born?
Yuzhang, Hanyang, Jinling, and Luoyang were all vast and prosperous lands. Even granting them to an adult prince would have been a sign of great favor. If a newborn princess were to receive such a large fiefdom, there would surely be uproar in the court tomorrow!
Only little Chengying didn't know the twists and turns involved. He lay on the table and carefully selected a fiefdom for his niece.
He muttered to himself—
"Yuzhang is too far from the capital. What should I do if my niece misses home?"
"Hanyang... There's a big river next to Hanyang. What if it floods and the people in the fiefdom start a riot and hurt my niece?"
"Jinling...Jinling is too small, not even big enough for my niece to play with!"
"Then let's go to Luoyang. It's close to our capital, and it's quite large. It sounds nice! In the future, my niece can play freely in Luoyang. If she gets bored, she can always bring her guards and ride back to the capital to find her father, the emperor, the empress, and her uncles!"
He poked the Luoyang area with his chubby little finger and was very happy.
"Mother said that girls have to get married when they grow up. If they don't marry well, they will be bullied. It's so good for my niece to be in Luoyang. It's so close to the capital, and even the prince consorts don't dare bully her!"
He turned around and hugged Feng Changye's arm and shook it, "Brother-in-law, let's go to Luoyang. My uncle chose it, so it must be good. My niece will definitely like it!"
Feng Changye loves this little cutie so much!
He rubbed Xiao Chengying's head fiercely and said, "Okay, then listen to my uncle and confer the title of Princess Luoyang on our Ah Qiong!"
Zhu Chengying was extremely happy, jumping up and down and saying, "Brother-in-law, when my niece grows up, you must tell her that it was my uncle who chose the title for her, and she must love my uncle the most!"
Feng Changye pinched his cheek and said, "That won't do. Your niece is my daughter. She must love me the most."
Zhu Chengying thought about it and changed his tone, "Then I want to be Ah Qiong's second favorite person!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he shook his head and said, "No, Arjun's second favorite is my sister, so I will... be Arjun's second favorite man!"
Humph, if we don’t divide them by gender, then he would have to rank behind his sister and brother-in-law, and he would be third.
But if we divide genders like this, he is second!
Feng Changye curled his lips and looked at the little fat boy meaningfully.
What beautiful things are you thinking about?
When Aqiong grows up and gets married, her husband will be her second favorite person, and her uncle will be third.
If Arjun had given birth to a son, then my uncle would have to be fourth in line.
But don’t tell this little fat boy such a cruel thing, he will cry out of grievance.
"Father-in-law, eldest brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, you can enjoy your tea while I go to the front hall to draft the imperial edict."
Feng Changye finished talking to a few people with a smile, then stood up and led Xiao Yuanzi away.
Zhu Huaining looked helplessly at the emperor's hurriedly leaving back, holding his forehead and sighing.
He had already anticipated that tomorrow's court would be filled with chaos...
Alas, the old man really wants to claim illness and not attend court.
...the next day.
Sure enough, when Feng Changye asked Xiao Yuanzi to announce the decree in the court, all the civil and military officials were shocked!
How can a child who is only two days old be named the crown prince?
Isn’t this too much of a joke?
Even if the little prince has a very good fate when he is born, he can only be named the crown prince after he is one year old!
Just as they were about to kneel down and beg the Emperor to revoke his order, Feng Changye, who was sitting on the dragon throne, said leisurely:
"You may try to stop me. I am now happy that I have a son and want to give the crown prince position to my biological son as soon as possible. You must jump out to obstruct me and ruin my mood. Then, when you want to ask for the title of Crown Prince for your biological son in the future, don't blame me for not approving it. Be prepared to wait until he is fifty or sixty years old before conferring the title of Crown Prince."
“…” Those with titles immediately stopped moving.
They really didn’t dare to provoke this petty-minded emperor!
