The Southern Emperor was stunned for a second, and the whole place was silent. He immediately forgot about Rao Yan's matter and asked, "Is this true?!"

"It is absolutely true. This is an urgent letter from the prince!"

Southern Emperor: "Present it quickly!"

Emperor Nan could no longer sit still, so he stood up, took the letter and began to read it carefully.

Everyone below kept silent for fear of disturbing him and communicated with their eye contact.

It's not that the Southern Emperor is without a grandson. Several other princesses and princes all have children, but this is a grandson from the Crown Prince's lineage, which means a lot to everyone, the people, and the Southern Kingdom.

The timeline goes back to the childhood of Emperor Nan. When he was young, Emperor Nan was not well-off. He was conferred the title of prince early and moved out of the palace. He married a beloved woman as his princess, who is the current queen.

The princess's family status was not high at the time, so they could not help him much, and the two of them had little power in the capital.

However, as the other princes were too weak to handle the heavy responsibility, the late emperor had no choice but to pass the throne to him.

The current crown prince is the eldest son of the Southern Emperor, born in the palace. In the first few years after he ascended the throne, the ministers were dissatisfied with the Southern Emperor's rule, believing that he had no talent, no virtue, no ability, and no divine power, and that his ascension to the throne was a helpless move, and that they should start to train the crown prince to become a talent from an early age.

The couple had no say, so the prince suffered a lot since childhood, studying and practicing martial arts day and night.

It was not until later that the Eastern Kingdom was interested in a marriage alliance that the Southern Kingdom married Chu Xiangsi, also known as Defei. Relying on the manpower brought by Defei, the Southern Kingdom was able to secure its seat in the court. Its power gradually grew, and Defei became more and more favored.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have not had a child since their marriage. The Southern Emperor has many grandchildren, but no one to inherit the Crown Prince's lineage, and he is unwilling to let the Crown Prince take a concubine.

One day, the Crown Prince and the Emperor of the South had a big argument over the Crown Prince's taking a concubine and the Crown Prince's refusal to confer the title of Imperial Concubine De on Concubine De. In a rage, the Emperor of the South ordered the Crown Prince's entire family to guard the border pass of Mumei Pass.

Mumei Pass is located at the border between the Western Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom. At that time, there were constant riots, and the prince was sent to quell the war.

Concubine De had been observing the expression of the Emperor of the South. When she saw that he only had expressions of joy, happiness and gladness, she panicked. She thought she had successfully alienated the relationship between father and son. After all, the Emperor of the South had never thought of letting the prince return to the capital. So she dealt with Ye Chenshang seriously, but now a royal grandson had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

If the prince returns to the court for this reason, Mu Ling's future will come to an end...

The Southern Emperor carefully put away the letter and said, "Pass on my order to establish him!..." "No, do you have a name for him?" The Southern Emperor looked at the messenger.

"No, the prince asked His Majesty to give him a name."

"Haha, OK!" The Southern Emperor was still a little flustered at this time. He hadn't prepared anything nice yet! "I need to think about the name carefully~ Then I'll make him the Crown Prince first! Yes, I need to think about the name carefully!"

The Southern Emperor was so restless and ecstatic at this time that he didn't even care about the princes and emperors of other countries who were present at the meeting. He didn't even think of hiding it. He wanted to announce to everyone in the continent that he had a crown prince!

"Come here! Go and bring the Crown Prince back to the court immediately!" The Southern Emperor couldn't wait any longer, "Does anyone have a recommendation?"

Concubine De stopped him, "Your Majesty! Raoyan's marriage..."

"Oh, yes! But the princess has never found someone she likes, so how about this matter..."

"Yes!" Defei pulled Raoyan over, "She has it! Tell me now!"

Defei kept urging her, but Raoyan didn't dare to say who it was. Emperor Nan saw that she was really procrastinating, and he was busy sending people to bring the Crown Prince back.

Southern Emperor: "How about this, I see that Lord Mu is young and promising, of similar age, unmarried, and a first-rank official. Princess, are you willing?"

Nan Huangchao waved his hand and someone in the crowd stood up. Raoyan looked at him. He was young and clean. She felt somewhat satisfied.

This way, he wouldn't have to compete with Xiangliu for people, and he wouldn't be laughed at.

She was really satisfied; she was afraid of death.

Rao Yan blushed and nodded shyly.

Seeing that she was satisfied, the Southern Emperor made a decisive decision, "That's it! Lord Mu will be given a title of nobility! He will be granted a mansion! The princess will be his legal wife, and the marriage will be completed soon!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Raoyan bowed, and Lord Mu also bowed, and the marriage was settled.

Concubine De was almost fainted from anger, but she didn't care because the Emperor of the South went downstairs the next second to discuss who to send to bring back the Crown Prince.

Now Defei's mind is all on the Crown Prince, so it's a good ending for Raoyan.

The Southern Emperor focused on selecting someone to welcome the Crown Prince, and the others present breathed a sigh of relief. People from other countries also relaxed and ate to join in the fun. The ministers of the Southern Kingdom also focused on the Crown Prince, and they all actively stepped forward to recommend candidates, surrounding the Southern Emperor.

"Father! I am willing to go and welcome my brother back to the court!"

A male voice was heard and everyone made way. It was Ye Chenshang.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were in their thirties when they had their eldest son, and the Crown Grandson was still young, so when he was welcomed back to the court, the whole family would definitely return to the capital with him. Everyone understood that the Southern Emperor had reconciled with the Crown Prince.

Ye Chenshang was worried that other people might go to pick her up, as Concubine De would definitely cause trouble on the way.

When the officials saw that it was Ye Chenshang, they nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Prince Chen and Princess Chen are both very powerful, they are the best choices!"

This is the most powerful god in Yong'an Continent, they are a couple, and they are the prince's younger brother. The sense of trust and security is maxed out!

Seeing that many ministers had recommended and agreed, the Southern Emperor appointed Prince Chen and his wife to lead a team to welcome the Crown Prince back to the court, and also sent many royal guards to Ye Chenshang to ensure that the Crown Prince and his family were welcomed back on time, safely and smoothly.

After giving the order, the Southern Emperor happily wished everyone a good time at the banquet, and then he went back to the imperial study to look up a dictionary to come up with a name for the crown prince. Everyone then relaxed and had fun.

After the Southern Emperor left, Concubine De became uneasy and annoyed listening to the joyful voices of the people at the banquet. She asked Raoyan and the other two to leave.

When Ye Chenshang happily returned to his seat, he found Xiang Liu staring at Prince Zhao. He nervously sat back next to her, worried that she would have murderous intentions again.

"Xiang'er?"

Xiang Liu was still staring at Crown Prince Zhao, "Don't you think... Crown Prince Zhao and Concubine De are very similar?"

Yunchuan: "That's true, huh?"

Rong Xueling agreed with her princess affirmatively, "They are 70% similar!"

Xiang Liu: "Mu Ling doesn't even look 70% like Concubine De."

Ye Chenshang asked everyone, "Do Donghuang and Defei look alike? Has anyone seen them?"

The unanimous response was “Never seen it before”.

Donghuang's divine power was not very high, so when he went out to fight in wars or deal with disasters, he would let Prince Zhao take charge, while he himself would sit firmly in the palace and enjoy power.

Several people were looking at Prince Zhao, wondering, when they saw Prince Zhao stand up and walk in the direction where Concubine De left.

Defei was furious and wanted to hold Raoyan accountable, but the girl who had been following her disappeared in an instant. She sent someone to call her, but Raoyan didn't dare to face Defei and stayed indoors.

Just as Concubine De was about to get angry, Crown Prince Zhao came to say goodbye. The parliament meeting was nearing its end, and it was time for the prince and the emperor to return home.

Prince Zhao bowed, "Aunt, please don't be angry with Rao Yan. She is timid and cannot defeat Ye Xiangliu."

The girl was not so aggressive when she was a child.
