The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn

Eunuch Wan lowered his head even lower. Don't even look at it. If he was asked to say one more word, he was afraid that His Majesty's anger would spread to him and the head on his neck would be in danger.

But as a close person to His Majesty, Eunuch Wan still had to speak.

"Your Majesty, there may be something else going on in this matter." Eunuch Wan said. He glanced up and saw that Emperor Jianwen had no reaction. Then he continued, "I dare to persuade you. Although His Royal Highness Prince An is impatient, , but when it comes to filial piety, everyone can see it.”

"Do you still remember that the year before last, when you said you had no appetite, His Highness Prince An sent people to search around and find a chef to make delicious dishes for you. Now that chef is still working as the royal cook in the imperial kitchen."

"And on His Majesty's birthday last year, wasn't the gift His Highness Prince An found your favorite?"

"The year before last..."

When Eunuch Wan was about to continue speaking, Emperor Jianwen waved his hand and stood up.

"Okay, don't I need you to remember it clearly?"

"emperor."

Eunuch Wan got up from the ground and supported Emperor Jianwen.

Emperor Jianwen walked down the high platform and walked step by step to the door of the imperial study.

In the sky, a waning moon hung high.

Dark clouds gradually drifted in, hiding the waning moon.

After a while, the sky turned gray.

Emperor Jianwen looked at the sky in front of him, his eyes deepening, "Perhaps it's about time."

Eunuch Wan was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what Emperor Jianwen meant. He just felt a little thump in his heart, thinking that things were going to change in the Dasheng Dynasty.

The next day.

Many people in the court already knew about Feng Hu's search of Prince An's Mansion and Zhenbao Pavilion yesterday.

Therefore, in the early morning of this day, everyone remained silent and everyone was in danger.

In the palace, Emperor Jianwen sat on the imperial chair.

At Emperor Jianwen's signal, Eunuch Wan stepped forward and said, "My lords, do you have anything else to report?"

Except for the good news coming back from the border, no one in the main hall has spoken yet.

After waiting for a moment, when no one spoke, Eunuch Wan took a step back and stood behind Emperor Jianwen.

"Since you have nothing to say, I will speak for you."

Emperor Jianwen's energetic voice resounded throughout the palace.

All the ministers lowered their heads, bowed and saluted, waiting for Emperor Jianwen's instructions.

"It has been thirty years since I ascended the throne, but I have never established the position of crown prince."

Following Emperor Jianwen's words, the hearts of all the ministers were raised.

There was even more desire and expectation in Xiao Jin's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

The other princes could not conceal their excitement.

Only Xiao Shengyu stood at the head of the princes, his face was calm and there was no sign of any disturbance.

Emperor Jianwen continued: "Last night, I suddenly felt that it was time to confirm the position of the prince."

"Long live my emperor."

Everyone said in unison, obviously, the ministers in the court also had the same expectations for the establishment of a prince.

Just when everyone thought Emperor Jianwen would name a candidate, Emperor Jianwen said, "I wonder if any of you, my dearest friends, have any candidates in mind?"

"this……"

Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion in the court.

But they were all talking in small whispers, not daring to speak loudly.

No one knows why Emperor Jianwen asked this question.

Emperor Jianwen glanced at everyone. He knew what these people were thinking without asking.

"What? None of my sons can catch your eye?"

"Your Majesty, calm down."

Upon hearing this, everyone spoke quickly.

"I have no such intention."

"Then let's talk, who do you think is suitable?"

This time, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.

Ministers, look at me and I look at you. Finally, someone took the lead to stand up.

It was Li Laohanlin.

"Your Majesty, I believe that when it comes to talent and learning, it belongs to the fourth prince and the seventh prince."

"Where is King Jin? I remember Mr. Li, you said that the talents of King Jin are hard to find in the whole country."

Emperor Jianwen arrived calmly.

The Seventh Prince, who was originally happy that his name was called, immediately darkened when he heard this.

But Xiao Jin just squeezed his hand tightly without any change in his expression.

Li Laohanlin looked at Xiao Shengyu. Even though he was being discussed like this, he still looked elegant, neither humble nor overbearing.

It was as if the person being mentioned was someone other than himself.

"Your Majesty, the talent of the King of Jin has hurt Zhongyong."

No one knows what the Third Prince was like when he was a child.

But since the queen's death, the third prince has become depressed.

He also tried to persuade her, but to no avail.

Later, when the third prince led the troops to fight, the bloody smell around him became stronger and stronger. Li Laohanlin knew in his heart that such a prince was not suitable to inherit the throne.

Even though Xiao Shengyu looks graceful and graceful now, in Li Laohanlin's eyes, he is nothing but gold and jade.

Emperor Jianwen was noncommittal, "Lao Li just talked about talent and learning, what about other aspects?"

"That's all I can say. As for other aspects, it depends on your colleagues."

After saying that, Li Laohanlin retreated to his seat and seriously did not speak again.

However, after his opening, several ministers also stood up and expressed their thoughts.

Some talked about King Yu, some talked about the seventh prince, and even the thirteenth prince was mentioned.

Only Xiao Shengyu and King An, who is currently in prison, were not mentioned.

"What do you think, General Sun?"

Sun Shao didn't panic when his name was called by Emperor Jianwen.

Normally, military generals do not have to come to the morning court, but early this morning, news came from the palace, asking the generals to attend the court together.

As soon as he heard the news, Sun Shao knew that something was going to happen.

He initially thought that Emperor Jianwen was going to send people to fight, but after hearing Emperor Jianwen's words, he realized that it was not a war, but the establishment of a prince.

Although it was different from what he thought, Sun Shao still seemed very calm.

He stepped out, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I am just a reckless man. All I know is marching and fighting. If your Majesty asks me about establishing a prince, I can only say that I have no idea."

"But if your Majesty asks me, among the princes, who has the best martial arts, there is one person in my heart."

"General Sun, you might as well say something."

In fact, everyone present knew who Sun Shao was going to talk about.

Even Emperor Jianwen knew it clearly.

Sun Shao opened his mouth and said word by word: "Third Prince."

as expected.

No one can object to this answer.

Among the princes, only Xiao Shengyu had actually been on the battlefield and fought with the enemy.

As for the few princes nearby, they also went to the battlefield with the army, but they all sat in the rear and did not go into battle in person.

After hearing Sun Shao's answer, Emperor Jianwen finally showed a smile on his face.

"Yu'er's martial arts is naturally the best."

The expressions of the ministers who had spoken before changed slightly.

An idea emerged in their minds. Maybe Emperor Jianwen had already chosen someone, and they just wanted to let them know.
