The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

"Your Majesty, what Prime Minister Fan said is absolutely right. We would like to ask Your Majesty's permission to let us see the Eighth Prince."

"Your Majesty, please help me..."

"Your Majesty, please do it!"

In the blink of an eye, at least a hundred court officials spoke in agreement.

When Chu Xinghe saw this, he frowned and looked at the Left Prime Minister Fan Xian. He didn't expect that the person who would first bring up the matter of the bet would be the Left Prime Minister.

This person doesn't seem to be attached to any prince. What does he want to do by doing this?

Did he want to take this opportunity to make Jiang Fan look bad in front of everyone and make him lose the favor of Emperor Yan? Or did he have other motives?!

However, according to Chu Xinghe's guess, it is more likely that the other party wants to make Jiang Fan look bad and fall out of favor.

Speaking of which, Ye Ren, the right prime minister and grandfather of the eldest prince, did not jump out yet. This cunning old man was resting his eyes.

He sighed in his heart. Long before he went to court, he had guessed that today's court would be turbulent. His wife had said that the ministers would definitely find a way to submit a petition to exaggerate the matter of the bet.

This is what the Chu family wants to see, but it is also what the Chu family does not want to see.

After all, this move is a gamble! It is a gamble on the future of his Chu family, and also on Jiang Fan's life. If Jiang Fan loses, he will not only lose favor, but also his life.

If his Chu family lost, it would indicate to the world that his Chu family would be tied to Jiang Fan. Those princes vying for the throne would probably not let his Chu family go.

The Chu family will be completely involved in the turmoil of the succession struggle, and there will be no possibility of extricating themselves. Either the entire Chu family will be doomed, or the Chu family will go one step further.

Emperor Yan looked deeply at the left prime minister Fan Xian, his eyes darkened. Two words popped up in his mind: flattery!

He suppressed the confusion in his heart, looked at the courtiers who had spoken out, and sneered in his heart. These people are more pretentious than each other.

He wants to see his son make a fool of himself, yet he says it in such a high-sounding way.

But, would his son be so easy to let these guys make a fool of himself?

Emperor Yan now had an inexplicable trust in Jiang Fan. He believed in his son and would not let him down.

"Okay, since you are so curious, I will grant your wish... Pass on my order. Seven days later, I will participate in the gambling match between the Eighth Prince and Chu Yan'er with you... My dear Chu, this matter will be left to you!"

At the end of his speech, Emperor Yan looked towards the Chuxing River.

"I obey your order!" Chu Xinghe replied respectfully.

When the court officials around heard this, some of them looked at each other with joy in their eyes. Several princes raised their lips slightly with viciousness in their eyes. The eldest prince Jiang Yi had a mocking look on his face with a bit of expectation in his eyes.

"Since there is nothing else to do, let's adjourn the court..." Emperor Yan said coldly as he looked at everyone's reactions.

All the court officials bowed respectfully and left the court.

Emperor Yan was the first to stand up and leave the palace. As he walked along the road, he was still somewhat worried. Although he trusted his eighth son, he still felt uneasy.

After all, Chu Yan'er was not just a famous woman. Compared to Bei Meng's three questions, Chu Yan'er was even more difficult to deal with.

"Daban, do you think Lao Ba will win?" Emperor Yan said indifferently.

"Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince is a rare talent. If he dares to place the bet, he must be absolutely sure that he will win..." The eunuch chief Liu Fu behind him spoke quickly.

Although his words were meant to comfort Emperor Yan, he always felt that if Jiang Fan dared to be so bold, he must be fully confident.

Ever since the Eighth Prince stopped forbearing, every time he acted, he was unexpected. Just think about the fact that he subdued the two sons of the Chu family, which has fully demonstrated his extraordinary talent.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan nodded, and his mood was obviously much more relaxed. He just needed a word of comfort.

After all, he was so partial to Jiang Fan, and if Jiang Fan lost, he would lose face.

On the other side, in Ci'an Palace, Concubine Ning, who looked dignified and graceful, looked at the somewhat timid Jiang Xing in front of her, her eyes full of love and heartache.

"Xing'er, are you willing to recognize me as your mother..." Ever since she lost the twins, she felt that she had given up.

However, after seeing Jiang Xing, she felt inexplicably familiar. She always felt that Jiang Xing in front of her and Jiang Fan, whom she had never met, might be her poor children who had reincarnated to see her.

Especially these two days of getting along, she felt even more distressed for the little girl in front of her. She looked like a blank sheet of paper, innocent and cute, but also cautious.

He is very careful in everything he does, and is so well-behaved and sensible that it makes people feel distressed about him.

Today, she also heard some rumors coming from outside the palace. With mixed feelings, she wanted to acknowledge Jiang Xing as her daughter.

After all, if Jiang Fan displeased Emperor Yan, she and Jiang Xing's relationship would protect them. She really liked the girl in front of her.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xing looked at Concubine Ning, then at his mother, Concubine Su, his eyes full of hesitation.

"Empress, Xing'er...Xing'er has...a mother..." Jiang Xing'er said with a stuttering voice.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Ning looked at Jiang Xing with a smile, then looked at Concubine Su who had a frightened look on her face and opened her mouth to speak.

This girl is so silly and cute. If she had encountered such a good thing, other low-ranking concubines and princes and princesses would have been eager for it.

She is in control of the harem now. According to Emperor Yan's plan, she will definitely be the mistress of the harem in the future. She can even be recognized as her mother and get the support of her Ning family. Who would refuse such a good thing?

But the girl in front of him didn't understand anything. The first thing she thought of was her mother. She was afraid that if she recognized herself as her mother, she would lose her biological mother.

"Silly child, you acknowledge me as your mother, and I will not let you deny your own mother. From now on, you will have two mothers in this harem. Isn't that great?"

Concubine Ning spoke gently to Jiang Xing.

When Su Meiren heard this, she was about to speak and her nervous heart suddenly calmed down.

"Xing'er, come and meet your mother, Concubine Ning!"

For her daughter, it is a great blessing to be able to recognize Concubine Ning as her mother. Even if Concubine Ning wants her daughter to disown her, she would be willing to do so.

As long as her daughter is safe, she doesn't care about anything else.

Fortunately, Concubine Ning had no intention of snatching her daughter away. This recognition of motherhood was just to give her daughter an extra layer of protection.

"Xing'er, I meet Mother Ning!" Jiang Xing knelt down and kowtowed upon hearing this. Although his eyes were filled with confusion, they also showed a hint of joy.

She could feel the kindness that Concubine Ning showed her. Even though she was a blank slate, she knew that in the harem, with Concubine Ning protecting her, she and her mother would no longer have to worry about being bullied.

"Mother Ning, from now on, no one will dare to bully Xing'er in the harem!" She bravely looked up at Mother Ning and asked.

When Concubine Ning heard this, she couldn't help laughing, but she was also filled with heartache.

This silly girl, at this time, is still thinking about not being bullied. How much bullying must she have suffered before to be like this.
