At this time, the Fourth Master said, "I know what's going on with this matter. Fu Jin, there's no need to be so anxious."
How could Fu Jin not be anxious, especially since this matter concerned Honghui's future.
"Master, Honghui is not young anymore. I think this matter should be put on the agenda."
No matter what, this matter cannot be delayed any longer. Who knows if there will be any unexpected changes if it is delayed any further.
"Fujin, I will take care of this matter myself. When the time is right, I will submit a petition to the higher authorities requesting the title of Crown Prince."
"Don't worry, the throne of Prince Yong will definitely belong to Honghui."
Honghui is his eldest son, and he has become more and more outstanding over the years. No matter what he is assigned to do, he completes it very well. The Fourth Master originally intended to ask for him to be named the Crown Prince.
It's just that too many things happened during this period of time, and he didn't take care of it for a while, but he didn't expect that Fu Jin was more anxious than him.
After hearing what the Fourth Master said, Fu Jin's somewhat uneasy heart finally calmed down a little.
However, the matter had not been completely settled, and the Fourth Lady was still worried.
But since her master had said so, she naturally couldn't say anything else. What if she angered her master and he didn't ask for a title for Honghui?
After the Fourth Lady left, the Fourth Master took out the letter requesting a title that he had already written.
After thinking for a while, he handed the letter requesting the title to Su Peisheng.
"Su Peisheng, take this to the palace."
Su Peisheng quickly stepped forward and took it.
"Yes~"
——
A few days later, the imperial edict declaring Honghui the crown prince arrived at Prince Yong's mansion.
Honghui was still a little dazed when he received the imperial edict.
It was only after his wife Tong Jia reminded him that he finally reacted.
He kowtowed quickly and accepted the imperial edict, "Thank you, Lord, for your grace."
When the Fourth Lady saw that her son had finally become the Crown Prince, she finally felt at ease.
"That's great, Big Brother... No, from now on I should call you Prince."
"Congratulations to the prince." Tong Jia Lianxue said with a smile.
The Fourth Lady also came over, her face smiling so brightly that it looked like a flower.
"Mother~"
Honghui saw his mother coming over and called out with his hands clasped.
"Honghui, you are now the crown prince. You should share more of your father's responsibilities in the future."
The fourth lady smiled so hard that her teeth were exposed and her eyes were not. It can be seen how happy she was that her son became the prince.
"Yes, I understand."
In fact, he didn't want to be a prince at all. He just wanted to be the eldest prince in peace and stability.
He knew what being a crown prince meant, and he was afraid that one day he would disappoint his father. He also knew that he was no match for Xuanxuan and Chenchen. In fact, he hoped that the position of crown prince would fall on them.
This way he can put everything aside and do whatever he wants.
But she didn't dare let others know or say these words. She knew that her mother had always wanted him to become the crown prince since he was a child, and he had felt the same way before.
So he studied hard and tried his best to complete the tasks assigned by his father to the best of his ability. However, when he grew up, he realized that the prince was not necessarily the best.
He envied Xuanxuan and Chenchen because they could do what they liked, but he couldn't be like them at all. Now that he suddenly became the prince, he felt as if a thousand-pound weight was on his back, and this feeling made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Wen Mianmian also came over and congratulated with a smile, "Congratulations to the Lady, congratulations to the Prince."
When Fu Jin saw her, she subconsciously puffed out her chest and looked at Wen Mianmian with pride.
At this moment, she felt unprecedented joy in her heart, as if all the frustrations she had been holding back for many years were finally released.
You see, no matter how favored she is, the position of the crown prince in this mansion will eventually belong to her son.
Honghui smiled shyly and said, "Thank you, Mother Wen."
At this time, the Fourth Lady smiled at Wen Mianmian, a rare gesture, and said, "We are very happy. Honghui is now the Crown Prince. From now on, the Master will have an extra helper by his side, and he won't have to work so hard anymore."
"Alright, Honghui, hurry up and help your wife back home. She's about to give birth this month, so please don't let anything happen to her."
Honghui nodded, handed the imperial edict to the young eunuch beside him, nodded with a smile at Wen E'niang, and then helped his wife leave.
After watching Honghui and the others walk away, the Fourth Lady walked closer to Wen and said proudly, "Wen, look, no matter how favored you are or how many sons you have, it doesn't matter. The one who is now the Crown Prince is my son, and your son can only be my son's foil after all."
Wen Mianmian didn't show any displeasure. Instead, she smiled and said, "It doesn't matter to me whether he's a prince or not. It doesn't matter whether he's there to serve as a foil or not. As long as my sons are happy, I'm happy even if they live a mediocre life."
She looked up at the sky, leaned forward and said, "It's getting late, I'll go back first. The master should be back soon. If he doesn't see me, I'm afraid he'll send someone out to look for me."
Who doesn't know how to be sarcastic?
"Then I will take my leave first."
After saying this, Wen Mianmian turned around and left without caring how ugly Fu Jin's expression was at the moment.
It has to be said that the Fourth Lady was once again angered by Wen's words, especially her last provocative words, which made the Fourth Lady even more angry.
Seeing this, Nanny Chang and Nanny Li hurried over.
"Why is she so arrogant? Isn't it just because her master dotes on her? Just wait, sooner or later I will take care of her."
Now that her son has become the crown prince, she has nothing to fear.
"Fujin, why are you so angry with her? No matter how good Concubine Wen is, she can't compare to you. Just laugh it off. The court doctor told you not to get angry easily yesterday, otherwise you'll have a headache again."
Fu Jin calmed herself down and said, "Mammy, you are right. I can't be angry. Today is Honghui's good day. I should be happy."
It's all that bitch Wen's fault. She always tries to provoke her with words. She can't let this hurt her body."
On the way back, Nanny Song saw that Concubine Xian hadn't said much, so she couldn't help but ask, "Master, aren't you sad?"
Wen Mianmian looked at her sideways and asked puzzledly, "Why should I be sad?"
"The Second and Third Princes are good in every way, so why can't they become the Crown Prince?"
The position of the crown prince does not necessarily have to be held by the legitimate son. As long as the illegitimate son is talented and outstanding in all aspects, he also has a chance.
"Why do they have to become the crown prince? Even if they don't become the crown prince, with their talents, I believe they can earn a good future for themselves."
Wen Mianmian never cared whether her son could become the crown prince. She believed in her master and knew that he must have his own plans for doing this.
