"What are you doing, you little monkey?" Gu Wanran was shocked." Look at you. Your face is as dirty as a cat. Go and wash up!"

"Mother is right!" Xu Yanchu smiled at Gu Wanran and hopped off to ask the palace maids and eunuchs to prepare water.

"Little Yu, how did the Crown Prince learn today?" Gu Wanran sighed and said," This child is mischievous by nature. You have to put in more effort."

"Empress is worrying too much." Little Yu said," Your Highness is very smart and learns very quickly."

The two of them stood together and discussed Xu Yanchu's every move today. If Xu Yanchu was still here, she would definitely be amazed. Her mother, the mighty Empress of the North Xun, was very respectful when talking to a young eunuch. She did not treat the other party as a subordinate at all.

Unlike Xu Yanchu's side, Xu Chengen felt a little uneasy when he learned that Gu Wanran had sent a few eunuchs to Xu Yanchu to replace all the people he and Yun Pin had originally placed in the Eastern Palace.

Gu Wanran must have known that she had asked someone to record Xu Yanchu's words and deeds at all times, but she had never interfered. Now that Yun Pin was arrogant, it gave Gu Wanran the chance to get rid of these people. As the emperor, he could not say anything.

How aggrieved!

The more Xu Chengen thought about it, the more depressed he became. He did not understand how the dignified and virtuous Gu Wanran from back then had become like this…No matter how many people he brought into the residence, Gu Wanran always smiled and asked people to carry them into the residence. But now, she couldn't tolerate a Yun concubine…Xu Yanchu was a woman after all, and he was doing this for the sake of the mother and son!

However, Xu Chengen had forgotten that in order to win over the Yun family's power, he had ignored Gu Wanran and her son for many years. He had also forgotten the promise he had made to Gu Wanran outside the delivery room for this position.

Fortunately, Gu Wanran had lived a thorough life from the beginning to the end. She was not secretly sad because Xu Chengen took concubines one after another. Instead, she focused on teaching her two children. Otherwise, Xu Yanchu's path would have been even more difficult.

Everyone in the palace knew that Xu Chengen doted on Concubine Yun. If it wasn't because of the ancestral teachings that the Emperor had to go to the Empress 'palace on the first and fifteenth of every month, Xu Chengen would probably be eager to stay in Concubine Yun's Yinghui Palace for the entire month.

How could Yun Pin control her temper? Not long after, he came to show off in front of Gu Wanran. His tail was simply about to soar to the sky!

Xu Yanchu had respected his mother since he was a child. He was naturally extremely dissatisfied with Yun Pin's behavior of showing off in front of his mother like a peacock. He had also teased Yun Pin a few times in public and in secret, causing Xu Chengen to reprimand her for several days.

This news was not a big secret in the palace. Even Little Yu, who had just been sent to serve Xu Yanchu, had heard most of it not long after.

He had thought that Xu Yanchu would be the most reckless and heartless person in the palace since he could still be so willful. However, after interacting with him, he realized that Xu Yanchu's thoughts were much deeper than he had thought.

That's true. In this deep palace, which person could really have a pure heart?

In the following days, Xu Yanchu was well-behaved. However, Xu Chengen's verbal order in the court made Xu Yanchu explode again.

Because of Gu Wanran's 'persuasion' over the past few days, Xu Yanchu also went to the morning court with the other officials. However, after the morning court session ended today, Xu Chengen suddenly spoke." I'll take up some of your time here. I still have something to tell you."

Although the Crown Prince that the old Emperor had decided on was Xu Yanchu, Xu Chengen was still sitting in this position. Even if some people were dissatisfied, they still had to give him face.

However, looking at Xu Chengen's beaming face, he was afraid that he could not say anything good to make people happy.

" Yesterday, Concubine Yun was not feeling well, so we specially invited Imperial Physician Xiao to take her pulse. Imperial Physician Xiao said that there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that Concubine Yun was pregnant with a little prince." Xu Chengen glanced at Xu Yanchu and continued," Among my children, other than the Crown Prince…and the Fourth Prince, Concubine Yun was pregnant with my third son." Concubine Yun has made great contributions to the royal family. I will promise you that on the day Concubine Yun gives birth to a prince, I will confer her the title of Imperial Concubine! The reason why I'm keeping all of you here today is to ask all of you what kind of title I should give Concubine Yun."

After going around in circles, she even brought up Imperial Physician Xiao. She just wanted to tell others that Yun Pin was carrying a boy. Was he someone who could replace her, Xu Yanchu? Xu Yanchu looked coldly at Xu Chengen, who was sitting on the dragon throne. He smiled and said," Lady Yun Pin is really the person on the tip of my father's heart. She can jump from a concubine to an imperial concubine just by giving birth to a prince." My Imperial Mother has followed Imperial Father for so many years, but I haven't seen Imperial Father make any promises to her."

When Xu Yanchu said this, the officials who had been smiling immediately changed their expressions.

That's right, Yun Bin had only given birth to a prince, but the Empress had a fourth prince in addition to the Crown Prince. Moreover, Xu Yanchu was the crown prince personally conferred by the old emperor, and it was only right and proper. Xu Chengen was merely ruling on behalf of the crown prince because he was young. If they were to scheme for the title of Concubine Yun this time and were hated by the crown prince, then in the future…

Putting aside the fact that the old emperor had left Xu Yanchu with some unknown bargaining chips, Xu Yanchu's fearless personality would probably burn down their mansion tonight.

This Prime Minister Meng was really too much. He had to take sick leave every day, but today…

"Impudent!" Xu Chengen slammed his palm on the dragon throne. Xu Chengen's expression changed. He didn't know if he was angry or in pain. After all, this was the dragon throne. There were so many patterns and totems carved on it, and it was also inlaid with many gems and agates. How painful would it be?

Xu Yanchu secretly sighed in his heart. This dragon chair was really sturdy. No wonder people said that it was made of high-quality wood and that the work was extremely delicate.

It was really a pity. If Xu Chengen's palm had broken it, one or two gems would have fallen. It would probably spread in the streets and alleys tomorrow. Their Emperor had been stopped by the Crown Prince in order to make Yun Concubine a consort. He was so angry that he had broken the " eternal " dragon chair. Yun Concubine must be a disaster. That would have saved him a lot of trouble!

What a pity, what a pity!

Xu Yanchu's regretful look fell into Xu Chengen's eyes. In addition, she shook her head slightly and sighed. Xu Chengen felt that she was mocking him, and he was even more furious.

The Emperor and the Crown Prince were at odds. It could be said that everyone in the court knew about it. However, Xu Yanchu was the crown prince that the old emperor had decreed. Although he was still a little kid, he was still the future ruler of a country and should not be offended.

But Xu Chengen…

They couldn't offend either side. This made the officials suffer. They cursed in their hearts,'This damn Prime Minister Meng. Why didn't he fall sick every day? Why did he have to pick today?'
