362 Crown Prince

When Ouyang Pei was carried out of the palace, the Crown Prince looked at the old emperor.

The old emperor also happened to look at the Crown Prince.

“Royal Father—”” The Crown Prince cupped his hands at the old emperor.

However, before he could finish speaking, the old emperor beat him to it. “Why don’t we let the Imperial Astronomer look for an auspicious day for a coronation? I’ve also been the Emperor for more than 40 years. It’s time to leave things to the younger generation.”

!!

The old emperor looked at the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince’s scalp tingled. He was not afraid that the old emperor would test his sincerity, but he was afraid that the old emperor was being serious.

“Royal Father, no, Dad, I think you’re still old and fit. No, no, no, you’re still young and strong! I still have many things to learn. It’s too early for me to be the Emperor now. Let’s wait another 30 to 50 years,” the Crown Prince said sincerely.

The Emperor could not help but throw the memorial in his hand at him. “Learn my ass. You’ve been learning for 30 years. What have you learned? I’ve been in charge of politics since I was six years old. It’s been 47 years now. Do you really want to tire your father to death!”

The Crown Prince muttered, “Your son hasn’t been idle at all.”

He was a Crown Prince with real power. He was not sure if the old emperor was suspicious of him, and he did not look for anyone to investigate.

Just dealing with all kinds of country affairs every day was already tiring enough for him.

And being an Emperor would only be more tiring.

This was because he still had to visit his harem from time to time.

Even the old yellow cows in the countryside were not as tired as him.

The Crown Prince was not envious of his father’s position at all.

Once he ascended the throne and became the Emperor, those stick-in-the-muds would force him to fill his harem like they forced his Royal Father back then.

He only needed to care for his Crown Prince consort now. The couple lived a harmonious life.

From time to time, they could even go out to hunt or patrol the land. There was no need to live too luxuriously.

How stupid would he be to want the Emperor’s position?

The old emperor had a total of three sons and a daughter.

They were all from the Empress.

The others in the harem did not produce any Princes and Princesses at all.

All the children were personally raised by the Empress.

All of them were dragons and phoenixes among men. The Emperor did not choose a Crown Prince at first. Instead, after the youngest child turned 10 years old, he treated the matter of choosing a Crown Prince as a state matter.

The three outstanding Princes were brought to light only after that age. Even the people were involved in voting back then.

In the end, the three Princes underwent various assessments and he finally chose the one with the best results.

The current Crown Prince had won by one point and was appointed as the Crown Prince on the spot. He was really good and was the eldest son. His two younger brothers’ eyes turned red with envy at the time.

The two of them gritted their teeth and stormed into the palace to look for the Empress.

All the ministers in the palace shook their heads. “Looks like even if the Crown Prince has been appointed, a bloodbath is inevitable.”

When the Crown Prince went to the palace to see his mother, he realized that his two brothers were grinning from ear to ear.

One of them said to him, “Big Brother, you’re still the best at national matters. I’ll help you look after Jiangnan. Our West Wind Nation’s treasury can’t be destroyed by those parasites.”

The other said to him, “Big Brother, there are wolves in the north. After thinking about it, I think I should go and take a look.”

Just like that, the other two princes were conferred the title of Kings. One went to the south, and the other went to the north.

Every time the Crown Prince went to the south and north to patrol, he would see them living freely. The envy in his heart was filled to the brim.

The royal family of the West Wind Nation was harmonious. Even the ministers were upright and the country avoided many disasters.

There was no endless internal battle among the royal family. This was also one of the reasons why the Western countries were more prosperous than the Great Chang Nation.

However, the disappearance of the only Princess of the West Wind Nation still became a sore point for the royal family.
