Chapter 514 Hurry up, let Gong Qingniang come out to see me

At this time in Zhaoyang Palace, Emperor Jiazheng was arguing with Crown Prince Wei Shiqing.

"… Ridiculous!" Emperor Jiazheng was furious, pointing at Wei Shiqing's nose and cursing, "You are the crown prince of a country! You are not only Mu Rujun's husband! You are also the future emperor, the future monarch of Daxia! If the crown prince has no heir, the country will not be at peace!"

Wei Shiqing's mental state was obviously very strong. He looked at Emperor Jiazheng calmly and said, "Father is in his prime. I might even be ahead of you by then. Then you can appoint another crown prince."

Emperor Jiazheng was almost so angry at Wei Shiqing that he vomited blood!

The extremely charming Empress Nie stroked Emperor Jiazheng's back and said, "Although I also want to hold my grandson, since the child is open-minded about this matter, just let him be."

Emperor Jiazheng could scold his son, but he was reluctant to say a harsh word to Empress Nie. He sighed helplessly: "Empress, but he is the crown prince. How much effort have I put into cultivating him since he was a child? This involves the country, so I can't be willful."

Queen Nie said nothing.

Wei Shiqing suddenly spoke up, with a hint of smile: "Father, this is actually nothing. If Rujun is unable to have children, I will pass the throne to the children of my second or third brother. After all, my second and third brothers are both born to our mother, and they are both my brothers. Their children are just like my own children."

Emperor Jiazheng was stunned and speechless for a moment.

Wei Shiqing felt that this was a good idea. With a smile on his face, he said to Queen Nie, "Mother, my second brother's ordeal is almost over. By then, the little girl in the Zhenxi General's Mansion will be almost 15 years old. Father is in his prime. Didn't the eunuch just report to you that Concubine Ding in the harem is pregnant?... Anyway, it would be great if the child born by my second brother could be made the Crown Prince. We are all family members."

Queen Nie was very moved when she heard this.

The little girl named Yu Xingxing looked very blessed, and she had seen her carefully, and she was a very good child. The most important thing was that although her Ah Yan did not say it directly, he would ask about the little girl every few sentences in his family letters, which showed how deep the bond between the two was.

Queen Nie was very pleased to see this happen.

It was Emperor Jiazheng who began to hesitate.

He was not only the husband of Queen Nie and the father of several sons, but also the monarch of an entire country.

He was willing to spoil a few children, but when it came to matters concerning the country and the people, Emperor Jiazheng naturally could not treat it so lightly.

"Let's talk about it later." Emperor Jiazheng was upset and sighed.

He looked up at his son again. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He inherited the good looks of both him and Queen Nie, and was extremely handsome. It was really infuriating that such a good-looking son did not plan to have children.

The more Emperor Jiazheng thought about it, the angrier he became: "Crown Princess..."

If the Crown Princess was more virtuous, she would have taken the initiative to find a concubine for the Crown Prince by now!

However, when Wei Shiqing heard Emperor Jiazheng talking about the Crown Princess, his expression immediately changed: "Father, this has nothing to do with Rujun. The Crown Princess's family has devoted their lives to the country and sacrificed their lives on the battlefield. She is the only daughter left in the family. She married into our Wei royal family not only because I love and respect her, but also because this is our Wei royal family's compensation to the Mu family! I will definitely not do anything to let down the Crown Princess."

Emperor Jiazheng became increasingly depressed.

He knew that the prince was right.

But, as the old saying goes, the prince is the heir apparent of a country after all!

Emperor Jiazheng looked extremely unhappy and sat there sulking.

Instead, it was Queen Nie who gave Wei Shiqing a look, signaling him to go down first.

Wei Shiqing understood and quietly retreated.

Empress Nie sat down beside Emperor Jiazheng and leaned on his shoulder: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that we each sacrificed ten years of our lives in exchange for the heavens leaving Ah Yan a glimmer of hope? At that time, I was thinking that in this life, I just wanted Ah Yan to live happily."

Emperor Jiazheng's expression softened as Empress Nie approached.

Hearing Queen Nie's words, he was even more moved.

"Although Aqing is the crown prince, he is also our son. He doesn't want to let down the crown princess. It's our Aqing who values ​​friendship and loyalty." Queen Nie said softly, "It is said that the royal family is heartless, but Aqing is so loyal and loyal that he will definitely not let down his younger brothers and sisters in the future. This is a good thing. This is one thing. Secondly, if the crown princess is still unable to give birth in the future, then as Aqing said, let the child of Ayan or Aling inherit the throne. Brothers are friendly and respectful to each other. Isn't this what Your Majesty wants to see most?"

Emperor Jiazheng sighed and was still a little depressed.

Empress Nie gently nudged Emperor Jiazheng's arm: "Your Majesty."

There was no way Emperor Jiazheng could resist the tenderness of Empress Nie. He sighed helplessly again: "...It can only be like this."

"However," Emperor Jiazheng was still a little unwilling, "I will also invite all the great doctors in the world to nurse the Crown Princess back to health. If for no other reason, regardless of gender, I also want to leave a bloodline for the Mu family."

Empress Nie's expression was soft, and she rested her head on Emperor Jiazheng's shoulder: "Your Majesty is right."

The controversy over taking a concubine was thus temporarily averted.

Xingxing didn't know yet, because she was still a little girl, that the supreme couple had already been thinking about the possibility of letting her and Wei Shiyan's child inherit the throne.

…

Because Gong Qingniang had helped Hu Ya when she was drunk before, Yu Yongbai used this as an excuse to have people keep an eye on Gong Qingniang's shops. After Gong Qingniang went to one of the shops, Yu Yongbai hurried over and gave her a thank-you gift.

Unfortunately, when Yu Yongbai left, Gong Qingniang had already left.

Yu Yongbai could only hide his true thoughts, smiled gently, left a thank-you gift, and asked the store clerk to pass it to Gong Qingniang when the time came.

The waiter was just responding when he saw another person rushing in from outside and asking loudly, "Where is Gong Qingniang?"

Yu Yongbai frowned.

The person who came was Zhou Yunyi, who had been engaged to Gong Qingniang before.

The staff naturally knew Zhou Yunyi and were not very friendly to him: "Why are you looking for our boss? Our boss is not here!"

"Nonsense! I just saw Gong Qingniang riding a horse on another street! Don't help her hide from me!" Zhou Yunyi frowned and put on airs, "Hurry up, let Gong Qingniang come out to see me!"

The clerk frowned, almost rolling his eyes: "Master Zhou, don't you understand what I'm saying? Our boss just left!"

The clerk pointed at Yu Yongbai and said, "This gentleman is also here to look for our boss. If you don't believe me, ask him. I just told him the same thing. Our boss just left!"

Zhou Yunyi then looked at Yu Yongbai who was standing beside him, his face becoming even more tense: "It's you?!"
