The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 361 Prince
When Ouyang Pei was carried out of the palace, the Crown Prince looked at the old emperor at the head of the table.

The old emperor was also looking at the crown prince.

"Father Emperor—" the Crown Prince bowed to the old emperor.

Before he could finish speaking, the old emperor interrupted, "How about we have the Imperial Astronomical Bureau take another look and see which day is more auspicious for abdication? I have been emperor for over 40 years, and it is time for me to pass the throne to a younger generation."

The old emperor turned his gaze to the crown prince.

The crown prince felt a chill run down his spine, not because he was afraid the old emperor was testing his sincerity, but because he was afraid the old emperor was telling the truth.

"Father, no, Father, I think you are still vigorous and strong, no, no, you are still in your prime! I still have a lot to learn. It's too early for me to become emperor now. Let's wait another thirty or fifty years." The Crown Prince said sincerely.

The emperor couldn't hold back any longer and threw the memorial in his hand at him: "What the hell are you studying? You've been studying for 30 years, and what have you learned? I took over the reins of government when I was only 6 years old, and it's been 47 years now. Do you really want to work your old man to death?!"

The prince muttered to himself, "My son hasn't had a moment's rest all day."

He was the crown prince with real power, and he wasn't sure if the old emperor had any suspicions about him, nor did he ask anyone to investigate.

He's already exhausted just dealing with all sorts of national affairs every day.

Being an emperor would only be more tiring.

Because, from time to time, he also had to visit the harem.

Even the old oxen in the countryside aren't this tired.

The crown prince wasn't envious at all.

Once he ascends the throne and becomes emperor, those old fogies will force him to fill his harem, just as they did with his father.

He now only has one wife, the Crown Princess, and the two of them live in perfect harmony, their lives are incredibly blissful.

They could go hunting from time to time, or travel south or north on behalf of the emperor, living a very comfortable life.

What a crazy idea he must have been to become emperor.

The old emperor had three sons and one daughter. All of them were born to the empress.

The other women in the harem didn't get a single thing.

All the children were raised by the Queen herself.

Each of them was an outstanding individual. The emperor did not immediately establish a crown prince, but only after his youngest child turned 10 years old did he discuss the matter of establishing an heir as a matter of state.

Three outstanding princes were put into the public eye, and even a vote was held among the common people.

In the end, the three princes conducted various tests and finally selected the one with the best performance.

The current crown prince, who won by a single point, was immediately appointed as crown prince by imperial decree. He is also the eldest son, and his two younger brothers are green with envy.

Both of them gritted their teeth and stormed into the inner palace to find the Empress.

All the royal ministers shook their heads: "It seems that even though a crown prince has been established, a bloody storm is inevitable."

When the Crown Prince went to the inner palace to see his mother, he found his two younger brothers grinning from ear to ear.

One of them said to him, "Brother, you are the one who is good at handling national affairs. I will go and help you look after Jiangnan. We can't let those parasites plunder our Xifeng Kingdom's treasury."

Another one said to him, "Brother, there are wolves all over the north. I've thought it over and decided that we should go and see for ourselves."

And so, the other two princes were made kings, one went to the south and the other to the north.

Every time the Crown Prince went on his southern and northern tours, he saw how carefree and unrestrained they were, and he was so envious that he almost felt sour.

The royal family of Xifeng Kingdom was harmonious, and the ministers below them also had upright family traditions, thus avoiding a lot of trouble.

The absence of endless palace intrigue is one of the reasons why the Western Kingdom was more prosperous than the Great Chang Kingdom.

However, the disappearance of the only princess of the Western Wind Kingdom remains a source of deep sorrow for the royal family.
