Chapter 157
Su Wanwan suddenly raised her head and looked at Chen Yunjing and said, "If the red thread cannot be removed, then pull it up well."
Chen Yunjing listened to her words and looked at her with confusion. Before she could even ask her what she said just now, Su Wanwan had already slapped her and turned her head and ran away.
On the other hand, the emperor left Ruyu Hall and returned to the imperial study room, he suddenly spoke to the eunuch Jiang Youfu beside him and asked: "After so many years, have I ignored Jing'er?"
Jiang Youfu was stunned for a moment when he listened to the emperor's words, then carefully pondered it in his heart, and replied carefully: "The emperor also has his own unscrupulous difficulties. The emperor is in a high position, not only to consider the people around him, but also to the people of the world and the country. As a prince, Chen Yunjing naturally has to share some of the burden for the emperor."
"You..." The emperor turned around, looked at Jiang Youfu, and then smiled and said, "You clearly know what I asked meant."
"This..." Jiang Youfu smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Majesty, I can probably understand what the emperor means. Our Concubine Shu has been favored by the emperor for so many years, but the son she gave birth to is not favored by you. This is actually a kind of protection for Concubine Shu Majesty and Chen Yunjing."
"Oh?" After hearing these words, the emperor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and spoke to Jiang Youfu: "Talk out."
"Your Majesty, think about it, your princes, one by one, have grown up. As soon as the prince grows up, the ministers start to stand in line and want to support the prince. Not only are the ministers standing in line, but also the princes, they are also competing in secret."
"But you dote on Concubine Shu so much, but you sent her son to the Prime Minister's Mansion to avoid such disputes affecting Concubine Shu and her son?"
"At present, the ministers in the court have basically chosen the direction to take the team. Only Chen Yunjing, who is raised in the Prime Minister's Mansion, although he is nominally in the Prime Minister's Mansion, everyone knows that the Prime Minister supports the Fourth Prince, so wouldn't there be no one to support Chen Yunjing?"
"Your Majesty, you said that when everyone has already stood in the line, if you let Chen Yunjing restore his identity as a prince, it is no less than throwing a stone on the calm lake! Those ministers who have stood in the line will start to figure out what you are thinking."
After Jiang Youfu explained to the emperor carefully and meticulously, the emperor immediately said happily: "Sure enough, you can see clearly. You can even guess my idea of restoring the prince's identity for Chen Yunjing."
"Oh, I'm not guessing this. I just think that doing so will prevent the ministers from urging you to a crown prince all day long." Jiang Youfu immediately bowed his body to the emperor and said, "After all, you are still young and strong, you are a crown prince too early, ah..."
"Yeah." The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered Jiang Youfu: "Go, bring a pen, I want to write an order to restore Jing'er's identity as a prince."
"Yes." Jiang Youfu responded immediately, turned around and went to get the pen and grind the ink.
On the second day, in the court, when the emperor announced in public that he would restore Chen Yunjing's identity as a prince, the ministers immediately became furious.
"Emperor, this... isn't Chen Yunjing the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion? When did he become the prince?"
The emperor looked down at him and said coldly: "After Concubine Shu gave birth to a child, the child was weak and sick. I specially invited the master to take a look. The master said that you must find someone who has a birth date and horoscope to recognize him as your godfather, so that the child can live successfully to adulthood."
"Of course, people know about this kind of thing. The fewer people, the better. Otherwise, will I have to write a letter to notify you?"
"I didn't mean that...it's just that this matter is too sudden..."
"Okay, I'm just here to inform you, not to ask for your opinions. Chen Yunjing is my bloodline. I'll restore the status of a prince to my son, and I still need you to teach me?" The emperor saw that the ministers had something to say, and directly pulled down his face and glared at them angrily.
"I dare not." Everyone had to lower their heads and said in unison.
"That's it, but Nian Zai Jing'er was raised by the Prime Minister since childhood, and the two should have a deep relationship. Let Jing'er live in the Prime Minister's Mansion for the time being, and then move it over after the Prince's Mansion is built."
The emperor waved his sleeves and said these words to them, and continued, "Is there anything else? If it's okay, let's retreat first."
The news that the emperor restored Prince Chen Yunjing's identity was soon spread to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After Chen Yunjing knelt on the ground and received the imperial edict, he stood up, thanked the father-in-law who came from the palace, and watched him leave.
After his father-in-law left, Su Wanwan, who had been hiding in the inner room, stuck her head out and looked at Chen Yunjing and said, "I didn't expect that you have actually restored your identity as a prince."
"What?" Chen Yunjing raised his head, looked at her, and said with a smile in his voice: "Are you still doubting my identity as a prince?"
"How is it possible? I have already entered the palace, met Concubine Shu and the emperor, and continued to doubt your prince's identity, but will only make me look stupid?" Su Wanwan wrinkled her cute nose and said to Chen Yunjing.
Chen Yunjing smiled, looked at her with deep eyes, and his tone was full of jokes: "Although you don't doubt my prince's identity, I still have some doubts about your little fairy's identity. What do you think you should do."
