Chapter 167 Between Selection and Non-election

The emperor looked up at him, and then nodded and said, "Well, my concubine, it is also a great help for Yan Ji to go back to the banquet house. Over the years, he has suffered a lot outside with Duoduo, and now he has to make up for it well."

"The emperor is really wise, and my concubine thanked the emperor on behalf of Yan Ji."

"You don't have to thank me." The emperor stood up, walked two steps behind his back and said, "I still owe Yan Ji, and our royal family also owes him."

The Empress Mingfei thought that this banquet girl was afraid of being blessed for several lifetimes and could get such love from the emperor. Although the emperor did not say it now, he was very satisfied with Yanji. Sooner or later, she would openly become the royal daughter-in-law, the dignified princess of Chang'an.

At that time, the people in the banquet house will see what they dare to be presumptuous. Thinking of the old lady, the Empress Ming is full of anger and resentment. This vicious old woman has been very harsh on their big house for so many years. This time, it is time to go back to the banquet house to fight back.

"Duoduo, come here quickly." Empress Ming waved her hand and said, "Hurry up and give this plate of fruit to the emperor."

Duoduo was very obedient and respectfully put it in front of the emperor.

"Oh, Duoduo is really obedient."

The Empress Ming looked at this grandfather and grandson with a smile. The emperor has always loved Zhan Lengze very much. Now, not to mention his grandson, if Zhan Lengze can ascend the throne in the future, then Yan Ji and Duoduo will be the future empress and prince.

My good niece, even if my aunt tries her best, she will definitely send you to that seat and will never see this great opportunity for nothing.

"Your Majesty, I'll feed you one." Duoduo put a piece of apple in front of the emperor, and such a warm move made the emperor happier.

"Good, Duoduo is really obedient." The emperor touched his head and said with a smile.

The grandparents get along very well, and even the emperor did not expect that he would love Duoduo so much.

The next day, when the emperor returned to the Taihe Hall, he deliberately took Duoduo away, and the Empress Mingfei was even happier.

"Mother." Jin Sui helped him back to the hall and said with a smile, "Look, how much the emperor loves many masters. I think that Miss Yanji is still very hopeful to marry Prince Chang'an."

The Empress Ming sighed, but it was a pity that they had a good plan, but Yan Ji still didn't think about it. In addition to the words the emperor said last night, it's all right. Let's take a look.

However, the Empress Mingfei is more sure that no matter what the relationship between Yanji and Zhan Lengze will be like, Duoduo, a royal descendant, has determined that no one can stop it.

"Jin Sui, this palace also mentioned it last night, but I don't know what happened to the emperor, but he didn't issue an order to marry."

"Mother, don't worry." Jin Sui said with a smile, "Maybe the emperor already has a plan in his heart. As the saying goes, good things take a long time. After all, Miss Yan Ji and King Chang'an have many masters. It's a matter of getting married sooner or later. Don't worry too much."

The Empress Ming sighed. I really didn't know what the dead girl was thinking. The good princess didn't do it, but went to fight for the mother of the banquet.

However, the Empress Ming also knows that Yan Ji was fighting for a breath. After all, the trauma six years ago was too big for him.

That's all right, the Empress Ming shook her head. Since this is her niece's wish, she should help complete it first. Anyway, those old guys in the banquet house should have cleaned up long ago.

Taihe Hall.

When Zhan Lengze came in, the emperor was bowing his head to criticize the memorial, and his old back was slightly bent, which made people feel a little sad.

"Speaking to my father."

The emperor coughed, put the brush in his hand on the inkstone, nodded slightly and said, "Come on, sit down."

On the way here, Zhan Lengze has been worried that his father must be summoning the palace for the matter of Princess Xingqing of Venus. There was an agreement between their father and son that once the matter of Venus and his marriage is finalized, he will immediately tell the world.

Father summoned him to come today, not for this matter.

At this moment, the coldness on the surface is already full of stormy waves and mixed flavors.

The emperor drank tea and said lightly, "Yesterday, in the library, I met your son, Duoduo."

Zhan Lengze raised his eyes and looked at the emperor in disbelief. Although Duoduo had been in the palace for a long time, his father had not moved.

Everyone understands that if the emperor sees Duoduo, it is equivalent to admitting his identity as the eldest grandson.

Zhan Lengze lowered his head again and regained his composure.

"Duoduo is very smart." The emperor sighed and said, "especially in pharmaconomy, he probably inherited his mother's talent and has no master."

Zhan Lengze did not say anything. Hearing his father say this, he was also relieved for a while. What was expected did not happen, and when it came to children, the conversation between father and son was much easier.

The old eunuch put Duoduo's manuscript on the table and bowed back.

"Ceng Ze, take a look." After the emperor opened it, he said with a proud smile on his face, "This is Duoduo's manuscript, very detailed."

Zhan Lengze got up, slowly walked to the desk, and took over the things in the emperor's hand.

That's a very precious manuscript of Duoduo. Zhan Lengze remembers it clearly. He once saw it when he was in Chang'an Palace. However, Duoduo's method of taking notes is very unusual, which can be said to be very puzzling.

"It's really gratifying that you have such a son and I have such a grandson."

The emperor stood up and patted him gently on the shoulder, while Zhan Lengze lowered his head. These days, with his son, he has deeply understood and felt a sense of responsibility and happiness as a father. One day, he must listen openly and call his father more.

"Ouch." The emperor sighed and said, "Yesterday, when I went to the Mingyue Palace, the Empress Ming proposed something to me, saying that for Duoduo's happiness, she wanted me to marry you and Yanji."

Zhan Lengze's heart was shocked. He saw the indifference and complaint about him, but he did not expect that she would finally entrust Yan Ji to herself.

It's just that the emperor doesn't need to make a decision.

"Father, you..."

Zhan Lengze wants to stop talking, and has never been hesitant and complicated.

"I didn't agree." The emperor walked to the door of the hall and looked at the changing clouds in the sky. Life is just like this.

"Father knows very well that you are reluctant to either of the country or the beauty, but if you take one of the two, perhaps you will choose the country without hesitation, because you are cold. Since you can endure for 20 years and return to the royal family and recognize your ancestors, it means that there is what you want most here."

"As for Yan Ji, even if you can't have her now, you can still keep her by your side when you rule the world."

"At that time, your son Duoduo will naturally become a prince. Everything now, a short separation, is just to stay together for a longer time in the future. Do you think it's right?"

Zhan Lengze didn't say anything because he had nothing to say.

He was very clear in his heart that his father was not the kind of father who was kept in the dark by this group of princes. For each of them, the father was very clear.

"I thought that I was a person who had experienced bloody storms and wanted to pass the throne to my son quietly, but in the end, I still couldn't get rid of the usual curse of the royal family. They killed each other and bleed like a river."

Zhan Lengze stood quietly. He was also very sad about his father's sigh, but if he gave up today, then tomorrow, he would die under someone else's knife.

Even if other princes do not have the ambition to compete for the throne, it is imperative to marry.

It's better to have a sword in your hand than without a sword.

Unioning with Venus is not only a matter of adding wings to Zhan Lengze, but also lays the foundation for his power in the whole flame country. The three countries are established and have their own advantages. Zhan Lengze can ignore what others are, but he must first be strong.

"Father, since I have promised to marry Princess Xingqing, I will have no regret. This is a choice that I have to make, and I will not regret it. Whether or not I will get together with Yan Ji in the future, Duoduo is still my cold son and the royal grandson of our Flame Kingdom. This is a fact that no one can change.

The emperor nodded helplessly. He had long guessed such a result that Zhan Lengze would not put it down so easily.

Not only can he, but even the second prince Luan Jingrong and the sixth prince Luan Yuchun can't do it.

This is a curse, and no one can change it.

"In two days, there will be news from Venus. You are ready for everything. Your father owes you, and there is only so much he can do for you. Take care of everything."

"Thank you, Father."

Zhan Lengze knelt on the ground and knelt down heavily, holding Duoduo's manuscript tightly in his hand.

His kneeling is equivalent to losing Yan Ji.

We met too early and met again after a long separation. Even if we have a son, we are always in deep love.

When Zhan Lengze came out of the Taihe Palace, he happened to meet Luan Yuchun, who returned from the Ice and Snow Kingdom.

This time, the negotiations between him and Ye Feng, the king of the Ice and Snow Kingdom, should have been going smoothly.

"King Chang'an."

Luan Yuchun took the initiative to say hello.

Zhan Lengze was frozen for ten miles, his face was tight, nodded slightly, and passed by.

They are not the kind of casual nodding friends. There is the same royal blood flowing in their bodies. They are brothers and feet.

However, Zhan Lengze clearly understood that this person was his strongest enemy on the way to the throne.

More importantly, they like the same woman.

Whether it is the throne or the love scene, they are destined to be opponents.

Qi Feihu followed and looked at Zhan Lengze's expression. He really couldn't figure it out.

Luan Yuchun stopped and stared at the man's back, with a conjecture in his heart.

"Your Highness, let's go in."

Luan Yuchun nodded. What did Zhan Lengze enter the palace for? They followed the spy of the king of Chang'an and got nothing. Except for going out to hunt for two days a while ago, Zhan Lengze stayed in the palace all day. What was his intention?
