Feng Yuxiao looked at the old guy speechlessly.
What the hell?
To sow discord between him and his mother?
Do you hope that he will fight with the Queen Mother, and even better, that mother and son will kill each other?
Tsk, do you think their family is like other royal families in history, with only cold-blooded power struggles and no love or humanity at all?
No, theirs is a warm and loving family. He loves his father and mother very much, just as they love him.
He glanced at the other ministers who had stopped and were waiting for his response, then looked back at the minister who had asked the question, curling his lips into a smile, "I am unwilling to accept this..."
When the ministers heard this, they looked at the prince with bright eyes!
The prince is indeed ambitious!
They can help the prince, and after he ascends the throne, they can gain the credit of being his successor!
"I cannot bear to see the high-yield grains that my mother sent people overseas to bring back be planted in your stomachs, feeding you all too much!"
The smile on Feng Yuxiao's face disappeared. He stared at these people coldly and scolded them.
"Do you really deserve to be called scholars? When you wanted to ask her for grain seeds, you all knelt before her and shouted 'Long Live the Queen!' She has made such great contributions to Daning. Now that our father is ill and she has a little power, you're already being intolerant of her? If you act like this, when you return home and see the food on the table made with the high-yield grain seeds she found, can you eat it with peace of mind? Aren't you afraid of choking to death if you can't finish it?"
The ministers were stunned.
They didn't expect that this was what the prince meant when he said he was unwilling!
They were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They fell to their knees with a thud, kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Prince, please calm down. We are only loyal to the kingdom of Daning. Daning is the kingdom of the Feng family!"
Feng Yuxiao looked at them coldly, "Oh, you still know that this is the Feng family's kingdom? Since it belongs to my father and me, then my father and I are willing to each hold my mother's hand and let her sit on the throne and watch the prosperity of the kingdom for a few days. It's none of your business! My father and I are not dead yet, it's not your turn to bully my mother! If you want to work hard, do it. If you don't like it, retire and return home. The great Daning is full of talents. Are we worried that we can't find a few knowledgeable replacements for you?"
After saying that, he walked coldly past them and went straight into the hall.
The ministers rested their heads on the ground and could only watch in silence as the crown prince's gorgeous robe swept past them mercilessly.
The prince's scolding words just now echoed in their ears. They dug their fingers into the ground, feeling ashamed, angry and terrified.
They were naturally angry and ashamed when the prince insulted them, the important officials who had made contributions to the court. However, when they thought of the prince's words "do it if you want to, do it" and "get out if you don't want to", they were really terrified.
They wanted to be tough and immediately take off their official uniforms and return home. But who among them was really willing to give up such power and status?
If they were really so indifferent to fame and fortune, they would not have stayed here deliberately to ask for an audience with the emperor and express their loyalty to him. They would have returned home to relax long ago.
After all, a truly indifferent person wouldn't care who sits on the throne...
The family in the hall had no time to care about these ministers who were in panic in the courtyard.
As soon as Feng Yuxiao walked into the hall and around the screen, he saw his dearest and most beloved father, the emperor, mother, the empress, and sister all looking at him and smiling.
He felt a little embarrassed. Oh, it seemed that he had scolded someone a little too loudly just now and everyone heard it.
The embarrassment he showed instantly diluted the majestic aura he had just pretended to have, making him look more like a teenager.
Zhu Wuhuan and Feng Changye were not stingy in praising the child. They immediately gave him a thumbs-up and praised him, saying, "Xiao'er is really becoming more and more dignified as a prince. He's already starting to have the bearing of a king. That's great!"
Feng Yuxiao smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Father and Mother, for your praise."
Arjun was not to be outdone and followed suit, praising her brother, "Wow! Bro, you're so awesome! Great!"
She stood up and ran over to get a stool for Feng Yuxiao, "Your Highness, please sit down. Would you like some tea? Let me massage your shoulders and legs, please."
"..." Feng Yuxiao looked at this lively sister lovingly and rubbed her head, "Your Highness the Crown Prince wants nothing. Your Highness the Crown Prince wants you to shut up."
Arjun laughed heartily, tugging on his sleeve and shaking it, "Brother! You were so awesome just now, and it was so satisfying. Just listening to you made me feel relieved!"
She frowned and said angrily, "They just love to meddle in other people's business! They have nothing better to do than to eat their fill! It's none of their business that my mother is the empress! They feel it's humiliating to submit to a woman, and I think my mother is wronged. What if they have to look at their miserable faces every day and make her look ugly?"
While she was speaking angrily, Feng Yuxiao had already paid his respects to his father, the emperor, and his mother, and sat down.
As soon as she finished, the whole family applauded her out of respect, saying, "Great, great! Ah Qiong is very enlightened. Ah Qiong said it well!"
When Arjun saw her family members applauding her, she felt embarrassed and hid behind her brother, not wanting to show her face.
She is not as calm as her brother. She can remain calm even when praised by her parents. She is shy.
Feng Yuxiao gently and indulgently let her rest her head on his back, smiled and patted her with his backhand, then started talking to his father, the emperor, and his mother, the empress.
He knew the secrets of his father and mother, and naturally knew that it was his mother's mission to become the empress. When the mission was completed, the queen mother would receive a generous reward, enough to buy many elixirs.
Therefore, he was more looking forward to his mother becoming the empress than his father.
After all, his father was about to step down from the throne he had sat on for nearly twenty years, and there was still a little bit of gap and discomfort in his adaptation. But as a prince who had not yet touched the throne, he did not have such complicated feelings.
He hoped that his mother would earn a lot of rewards and buy good things for him and his sister!
Over the past few years, the Queen Mother first bought her sister beauty pills, which gradually transformed her from an average-looking girl into the stunning beauty she is today, outshining all the other noble ladies. Then, the Queen Mother bought him martial arts training, so now he doesn't have to worry about assassins when he goes out alone. It's amazing.
The Queen Mother also bought longevity and rejuvenation pills for the Imperial Grandmother and my grandparents. So even though the three elderly people were almost sixty years old, they could still be as energetic as people in their thirties or forties all day long.
He respected his father, the emperor, but he loved his mother the most because she had all kinds of wonderful things, and he longed for every one of them.
Just as he thought of this, he saw his father looking at him dimly.
He thought of his father's ability to read his mind, and immediately gave him a flattering smile. Then he turned to Zhu Wuhuan and said, "Mother, my father must be feeling very upset about giving up the kingdom he has guarded for nearly twenty years, so it's inevitable that he will quarrel with you to relieve his depression. Please be more tolerant of him, coax him more, and don't be angry with him, okay?"
