Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 1185

The fourth prince was an adopted son; his parents are unknown.

However, he was also very good-looking. Back then, in order to deceive Cui Yan, Mo Ye did not just pick any child, but chose a child whose parents were both good-looking.

"Has training been tough lately?"

The Third Prince said, "It's not too strenuous."

"Mother, Father is going to establish a crown prince. Has he told you about this?"

Establishing an heir apparent?

Are we letting them get involved in court affairs now?

Yun Xiyue was startled. She didn't know about the matter of establishing an heir; Murong Yu hadn't mentioned it to her.

"No, what's wrong? What are your thoughts?"

The second prince said, "I've heard that there can only be one crown prince. If a crown prince is chosen, the palace will have to be moved to the Eastern Palace. Also..."

As he spoke, he looked at the eldest prince and said, "Everyone has chosen the eldest brother."

You could tell he was unconvinced.

Yun Xiyue's heart skipped a beat. "Father hasn't said anything about this yet, so you shouldn't go and discuss it."

The eldest prince replied, "Your subject understands."

Yun Xiyue asked them, "Do you all want to be the crown prince?"

They all admired their father, Murong Yu, from a young age.

As I grew older and learned about Murong Yu's past deeds, my admiration for him grew even stronger.

Then naturally everyone would want to be an emperor.

He is revered by thousands.

"Mother, you've always told us since we were little that we're brothers, inseparable. But why are we starting to differentiate ourselves now?"

Once their elder brother becomes the crown prince, they will be considered inferior.

They are all princes, all legitimate sons of the Emperor and Empress, so why is only the eldest brother allowed to be the crown prince?

These questions made Yun Xiyue's face turn deathly pale.

"How dare you!" Just then, footsteps sounded outside. It was Murong Yu who had come to Jiaofang Palace as soon as he heard the news.

"Who gave you permission to speak to the Empress Dowager like that!"

When he exudes authority, his imposing presence alone is enough to intimidate anyone.

The four immediately knelt down. The fourth prince knew he was not the biological son, so he dared not vie for the throne.

"Father, please calm your anger." At this moment, it was the most appropriate for him to speak up. "My three elder brothers are only somewhat puzzled. They are not disrespectful to Mother."

Murong Yu's expression softened. "Get up, all of you!"

He patted the fourth prince's head.

"Little Si, be good."

Then he looked at his three sons, all of whom were tense and had resentment on their faces, especially the second and third sons.

The eldest brother appeared calm and composed.

Murong Yu said, "I will give you an answer to this matter tomorrow. Now, you should all return to your own palaces and not come out."

The harem is now empty, and there is no so-called residence for princes.

Each of the four princes had his own palace.

"Ayue."

After the princes left.

Murong Yu turned around and looked at Yun Xiyue, who was stunned. He went up and hugged her with heartache. "Don't worry, I really won't let them fight."

Yun Xiyue's face was somewhat pale. "Your Majesty... what should we do now? I see that both Erbao and Xiaobao are interested in vying for the position of Crown Prince. What about Xiaobao's adoption?"

"Don't be nervous. I will arrange to handle this matter properly. Right now, there are just people discussing the matter of establishing an heir, and I had someone release that information."

He did it on purpose. "I don't want to suddenly appoint a crown prince, which would create a rift between the three brothers. I'm bringing it up now so they can figure out what they really want."

There is also competition among brothers.

"I haven't had a chance to tell you about this yet; it was truly a mistake."

Yun Xiyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Even so, what if they all want to be the crown prince? What will we do then?"
