The emperor had heard Wei Fu talking to Prince Zhong before. When he saw Wei Fu come in, he put down the memorial in his hand and let Wei Fu fall into his arms with a smile: "How did Fu'er know that the choice of a crown prince should be one of talent, virtue, tolerance and intelligence?"
Wei Fu said proudly, "Fu'er knows everything, he's just that amazing!"
The emperor sighed and said, "Alas, even Fu'er understands this truth, why do some people always fail to understand it?"
Wei Fu looked at the emperor in confusion.
The Emperor said, "Your uncle, Prince Zhao, wants to establish a crown prince. Logically, the crown prince position should go to the eldest legitimate son, but your uncle, Prince Zhao, doesn't have a legitimate eldest son. He has now written a memorial requesting the title of crown prince, but your uncle has had someone investigate and found that while the child has some talent, he lacks moral character."
"He's only one year younger than your brother, the Crown Prince, and yet he's already started forcing women."
Wei Fu immediately became angry: "How can such a person be the crown prince?"
"We can't give bad people power and status! If a bad person has no power, no influence, and no ability, he can only sit there obediently. But if we give him power, status, and ability, he will harm many people."
"Yes, that's what my uncle told your uncle, Prince Zhao, and asked him to change someone else to be conferred the title. But your uncle, Prince Zhao, refused to agree. He was obsessed with the idea that his son was the best."
"What else can I say? If I don't want the Zhao Palace to have a successor, I should just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Wei Fu was worried: "He is such a grown man, how could he be so unreasonable?" Wei Fu had also seen King Zhao. King Zhao was the largest among all the emperor's brothers.
He looks very rough and strong, and seems like he is not someone you want to mess with.
"Your Majesty, Prince Zhao is here again." Liu Yi said with a headache.
Since the fifteenth day of his life, Prince Zhao has been like a madman, going to the palace every day to talk to the emperor about appointing a crown prince.
The emperor is already busy, and he still has to find time to deal with him every day.
The idea that having more brothers is a help simply doesn't work with the emperor.
The emperor also rubbed his forehead with a headache and said, "Let him in!"
If you leave him alone, he will start crying outside the hall again.
Such a big group of people looks scary when they cry.
After Prince Zhao came in and greeted the emperor, he said directly: "Your Majesty, please take a look at the memorial I have sent to invite the Crown Prince..."
The emperor said: "Meng Tong's moral character is not good enough to be the crown prince. Brother, please find someone else!"
Prince Zhao's voice suddenly rose: "Your Majesty, are you still holding a grudge against me because I didn't support you when you ascended the throne?"
"I've already said it before. If you hold a grudge against me, just take back my position as Prince Zhao. If you take back my position as Prince, I will naturally not talk about establishing a Crown Prince again."
He was a man with a very loud voice, and when he suddenly raised the volume, the emperor's ears were buzzing. When Prince Zhao spoke, the emperor immediately covered Wei Fu's ears with his hands. He had gained experience in dealing with this in the past few days.
Liu Yi said anxiously: "My Lord, please don't make any loud noises!"
He frightened the little princess and caused her ears to hurt. Can he take responsibility for this?
King Zhao stood there with his neck stiffened, and it was unclear whether he had heard Liu Yi's reminder or not.
Wei Fu pulled away the emperor's hand that was covering her ears, took the emperor's hand and said, "Uncle, please agree to Uncle Zhao!"
The emperor looked at Wei Fu in confusion.
King Zhao rarely gave Wei Fu a good look, thinking that Wei Fu was still a good little girl, although she was born by a father but not raised by a mother.
Wei Fu said, "Uncle Zhao must have thought that the brother he had chosen was very outstanding, so he came to tell me that he wanted to make him the crown prince. Uncle Zhao has been with that brother day and night, so he must know his character and talents better than you do. The news you heard may not be true, so Fu'er thinks that you should trust Uncle Zhao."
"Uncle Zhao Wang is such a grown man, he must be able to distinguish right from wrong, good from evil."
The Emperor didn't know why Wei Fu suddenly changed his attitude, but he knew that Wei Fu must have her reasons, so he said, "Since Fu'er has said so, I haven't been with the children in your house day and night, and I don't know the specific situation as well as you do."
"Brother, you can enthrone whoever you want. I'll draft the decree after I finish my work these past two days and have someone from the Ministry of Rites send it to your residence."
Prince Zhao hadn't expected things to go so smoothly today. He knew the emperor well. Once the emperor promised something, he would never go back on his word. It was only a delay of two days, not a big deal. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Thank you also to my niece for speaking up for me."
Wei Fu trotted over from the Emperor's side to Prince Zhao's front, raised his head, tugged on Prince Zhao's sleeve and shook it, and said innocently and cutely, "Fu'er helped Uncle Zhao. Would you like to give Fu'er a thank you gift?"
Now everyone in the capital knew that the young princess loved money. Prince Zhao naturally knew this too. He laughed heartily and took out a jade pendant from his bosom and gave it to Wei Fu: "Uncle was in a hurry to go out today, so he didn't bring any gold, so I'll give you this jade pendant."
"When the crown prince is established, the mansion will hold a banquet. Come then and your uncle will give you some gold."
When the late emperor was still alive, he was always fighting outside and was still very rich.
Wei Fu took it with both hands, bowed, and smiled so hard that all his tiny teeth were exposed: "No, no, Fu'er is already very satisfied!"
"Thank you, Uncle Zhao. You are so generous. Fu'er likes you."
King Zhao initially disliked Wei Fu, but now he liked everything about him and became much more amiable. "I like Fu'er too. Please come to my house more often."
"Uh-huh……"
After seeing Prince Zhao off, the Emperor asked, "Fu'er, what does this mean?"
Wei Fu leaned over and whispered something in the emperor's ear. The emperor ruffled her hair and said, "Our Fu'er is really amazing. She solved the big problem for uncle in one go."
"Your uncle King Zhao can't give you the gold, so your uncle will give it to you."
The emperor immediately ordered Liu Yi to fetch the gold for Wei Fu. Wei Fu ran out with Long Yin in his arms, saying, "Uncle, put it aside for now. We'll talk about it when Fu'er comes back."
Liu Yi asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, what did the princess tell you?"
Xixue also pricked up her ears silently. She also wanted to whisper something to the princess. Woo woo woo~~~
The emperor snorted complacently: "You will know later."
Liu Yi and Xixue: “…” They felt flattered!
Wei Fu pulled Long Yin and did not take the normal route out of the palace. Before King Zhao returned home, he used the invisibility technique and walked into King Zhao's mansion in broad daylight and found Meng Tong.
