King Nan also heard about Xiao Feng's story. He was happy for his third brother, as his uncle was finally vindicated. However, he still didn't know that Xiao Feng was Wei Qing's biological father.

The eunuchs in the palace came to invite him into the palace. He thought that this time he must persuade his father to agree to let him marry Wei Qing.

When I arrived at the imperial study, I found that Prime Minister Wei was also there, as well as a tall middle-aged man with a scar on his face.

"Fifth brother, this is the Duke of Zhenguo, General Xiao Feng." Emperor Ying looked relaxed and spoke in a cheerful tone.

Chu Xingliang met Xiao Feng and secretly praised General Xiao for his powerful aura. Xiao Feng also looked at the Southern King. He had seen the Southern King before in the Jing Palace, but he was far away and did not see him carefully.

When he saw him today, he found that the King of the South looked very much like Emperor Ying Chu Zhongqian. He had an outstanding appearance, a handsome and elegant demeanor. He had no objection to Qing'er marrying him.

Chu Zhongqian asked him to come today, saying that it was for Qing'er's marriage, and he felt that this matter also needed Wei Mingcheng's consent. Wei Mingcheng was his Xiao family's benefactor, and if it weren't for the care of Prime Minister Wei and his wife, his A Ke and Qing'er might have been gone long ago.

In the early morning, Xiao Feng asked Chu Xingluo to lead him to the Prime Minister's residence, and thanked Prime Minister Wei and Madam Wei despite being stopped. He said that Prime Minister Wei would always be Qing'er's father, and Prime Minister Wei would also make the decision on Qing'er's marriage, so Prime Minister Wei followed him into the palace.

"Since both of you are here today, I have decided to marry General Xiao's daughter to the King of Nan as his concubine." Emperor Ying always had a smile on his face.

When the Southern King heard this, his face changed and he said anxiously, "Father, no! I have never seen General Xiao's daughter, how can I marry her? I don't want to!"

Wei Mingcheng lowered his head for fear of laughing. Xiao Feng had no expression on his face and neither of them spoke.

"You don't want to?" When Emperor Ying saw that Xiao Feng and Wei Mingcheng didn't say anything, he suddenly felt playful and wanted to tease his son.

"Father, I already have someone in my heart. I have told you, Your Majesty, that it is Prime Minister Wei's daughter Wei Qing! I will not marry anyone else in this life!" The King of the South had a resolute expression.

"Are you really not going to marry General Xiao's daughter?" asked Emperor Ying.

"I have said that I will only marry Wei Qing in this life. If not for her, I would rather be alone for the rest of my life!" King Nan's eyes were red.

Emperor Ying glanced at Xiao Feng and Wei Mingcheng and said, "Why don't you say something? Seeing how much Lao Wu cares about your Qing'er, you should rest assured and leave her to Lao Wu."

Prince Nan looked at Xiao Feng and Wei Mingcheng in confusion. He really couldn't understand what his father meant.

"Ahem." Wei Mingcheng cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Your Highness Prince Nan, my daughter Wei Qing is actually General Xiao's biological daughter. From now on, she will be called Xiao Qing."

King Nan opened his eyes wide, looked at Wei Mingcheng, and then at Xiao Feng. It only took a moment for him to go from disbelief to surprise.

"Really? General Xiao, Wei Qing is your daughter?" King Nan asked excitedly.

"Really, Your Highness Prince Nan, it's just that you just rejected the emperor's arranged marriage." Xiao Feng said slowly.

"Just now I didn't know that General Xiao's daughter is Qing'er. I am willing, General Xiao, father, I am willing, I am willing to marry Qing'er." Prince Nan was filled with joy at this moment.

"Brother Wei, Qing'er was raised by you. Qing'er will always be called Wei Qing. She will always be your daughter. Her marriage should be decided by you." Xiao Feng said.

Wei Mingcheng was very happy to hear this and said, "Your Highness, Prince Nan, Qing'er is innocent. I just hope that Your Highness can treat Qing'er well and not let her suffer any grievances."

The King of the South said solemnly, "Please rest assured, Prime Minister and General Xiao, I will definitely treat Qing'er well, and I will only marry her in this life, and I will not let her suffer any grievances."

"Okay, it's settled. I'll ask the Ministry of Rites to choose an auspicious day for the marriage, and they will be married in the second half of the year." Emperor Ying stood up.

Xiao Feng suddenly said, "I think we shouldn't make it public that Qing'er is my daughter. If someone finds out and brings up the past, they might say that Brother Wei was disobeying the imperial decree and betraying the emperor for not reporting the situation. It won't be a big deal, but it will still make people uncomfortable."

Emperor Ying also considered this issue and said, "Let's follow Changqing's advice, and avoid any trouble."

Wei Mingcheng naturally agreed. The Southern King left happily, as he had not expected it to be so smooth.

Xia Taoyuan and Chu Xingluo were very happy for King Nan and Wei Qing when they heard about it. This matter was finally settled.

Late at night, after returning from Xiao Rong's ancestral temple, Emperor Ying asked Eunuch Liu to drink with him.

He found Xiao Feng, reconciled his past grudges with Xiao Feng, and even became Xiao Feng's relative. He would wake up laughing in his dreams.

The only thing was that the royal family had few descendants, and the fifth son said that he would only marry Wei Qing, and he could not go back on his word. What should he do? He could only start with the other sons. Soon after the third and fourth sons got married, he would start with the eldest and second sons. After the Lantern Festival, he would order them to find concubines.

Emperor Ying happily drank and talked about his inner thoughts with Eunuch Liu until he could no longer bear it and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Emperor Ying was awakened by Eunuch Liu.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Mu requests to see you," said Eunuch Liu.

"Aren't we not going to court today?" Emperor Ying muttered.

"Prime Minister Mu said he had something important to report to the Emperor."

"I'll wash up and ask him to wait." Emperor Ying was a little impatient. He drank a little too much yesterday and had a slight headache.

After washing up, Eunuch Liu ordered someone to bring some food. Emperor Ying ate leisurely, drank a sip of tea, and then got up to go to the imperial study.

When they arrived, they found that there was not only Mu Huairen, but also the Minister of Punishments Fang Zhong, the Minister of Works Jiang Cheng, and the Grand Secretary Feng Bi.

"What's the important matter, my dear ministers? Why do you want to see me without taking a rest?" Emperor Ying sat behind the desk.

"Your Majesty, we are here today for only one thing. Although Your Majesty is in his prime, he is busy with state affairs and works hard all day long. We are unable to share the burden for Your Majesty and feel deeply distressed. That is why we have come here today to discuss with Your Majesty the matter of establishing a crown prince." Mu Huairen slowly stated the purpose of this trip.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the princes have all reached adulthood. It is time to appoint a crown prince. This matter must not be delayed any longer." Grand Secretary Feng Bi echoed.

Mu Huairen added: "Since our great ancestor, we in North Vietnam have always established the eldest son, the legitimate heir, and the most capable one. It also depends on the performance of the princes in all aspects. It will take some time. I think it is time to start the process of establishing a crown prince."

Emperor Ying listened silently. In fact, he had this idea a long time ago. Since his ministers had brought it up, the matter of establishing a crown prince should be put on the agenda.

“Your Majesty, I think His Royal Highness the Prince of Huai is kindhearted and loves his country and his people. When he was on duty at the Ministry of Justice, he was neither arrogant nor impatient, but steady and prudent. He remained calm when things happened and remained composed. He carefully reviewed every file. Moreover, His Royal Highness the Prince of Huai was born to the Queen, so it is legitimate for him to be the crown prince.” Fang Zhong expressed his thoughts.

Mu Huairen's mouth twitched. Fang Zhong's words were from him. They all knew that Huai Wang Chu Xingchen was weak and had expressed his disinterest in becoming the crown prince. He asked Fang Zhong to say this because he knew Huai Wang would not become the crown prince. But if the emperor accepted the suggestion of establishing the eldest son as the heir, and Huai Wang did not become the crown prince, then the next in line would be Xuan Wang Chu Xingyue, after all, Xuan Wang was also born to the queen.

Mu Huairen knew that this was a bit far-fetched, but what if there was a chance? He just said a few words, and if the emperor disagreed, he would think of another way.

"Your Majesty, I also feel that what Minister Fang said is very true. The eldest son or the legitimate heir will not be enthroned as the heir, and there will be no situation where the princes fight over it and disrupt the relationship." Minister of Works Jiang Cheng also said.

Emperor Ying glanced at Mu Huairen. How could he not know what Mu Huairen was thinking?

"What you said makes sense," Emperor Ying said with a smile. He looked at them and said, "After the Lantern Festival, I will announce the appointment of the crown prince in the court, and then you and the ministers will discuss the appointment of the crown prince."

After Emperor Ying said so, Mu Huairen and the others had nothing more to say. They could only wait. However, there were still two days left.

After Mu Huairen and several ministers left, Emperor Ying said to Eunuch Liu, "The eldest brother has no intention of becoming the crown prince, and the fifth brother has no ambitions here either. Given the personalities of the second and fourth brothers, they will definitely fight to the death, and maybe it has already started. Alas..." Emperor Ying sighed.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The princes all have their strengths. No matter who becomes the crown prince, it will be good." Eunuch Liu comforted patiently.

Emperor Ying slowly closed his eyes and said nothing. In his heart, he hoped to make Prince Jing the crown prince. First, Xiao Rong was his beloved and he felt indebted to her. Second, he had a preference for the children born by the woman he loved. Third, Xiao Feng was back now and could support the third son. But the third son was aloof by nature. Would he fight for the crown prince position?
