Chapter 825 I will work hard The staff didn't dare to breathe loudly, and no one dared to speak the crown prince pointed to one of the older ones, the aide began to speculate anxiously: "The emperor uses him so much. Logically, the emperor and the prince of Jin are at odds, so he shouldn't use the prince of Jin's son. There must be some deeper meaning behind this." The prince became even angrier: "Does it matter whether you say it or not?" The aide quickly asked, "Your Highness, what do you think?" "I originally thought that Fu Ciyi would side with the second brother, but now it seems that I am in greater danger than I thought. Originally, Fu Ciyi was just a native of Jinzhou, but now I know that he is also a member of the royal family. If he really has his mind set on it, he might also aim for the position of crown prince..." Everyone present understood what the prince was saying before he finished. The staff member said: "I think Fu Ciyi cannot become the crown prince." The prince's eyes swept towards him: "Why?" "The reason is very simple. Fu Ciyi is the son of the Prince of Jin. When the Emperor was choosing a prince, he deliberately avoided his brothers because he did not want the throne to fall to the offspring of his brother who competed with him for the throne. Although the Prince of Jin was young, he was the most likely to become the crown prince because of his mother's family. In the end, the throne went to the Emperor. With this relationship, the Emperor would never choose the son of the Prince of Jin as the crown prince." Another staff member echoed: "That must be the case. The emperor still uses him now, but he is just the chief minister of the cabinet. Even if he is the chief minister, he is still a minister. Although your highness is now under house arrest by the emperor, he is still the king. There is a difference between the king and the minister. I think Fu Ciyi cannot threaten your highness's position." The rest of the staff also nodded in agreement: "As long as he is the son of the Prince of Jin, he will have no chance of becoming the emperor."

The prince felt relieved after hearing what his staff said. "You are right." The prince nodded repeatedly. "I was chosen as a prince when I was young, and later became the crown prince. For nearly twenty years, I have called the emperor my father. How could such a father-son relationship be disturbed by a kid who came back from a remote village?" It must be that the emperor is impressed by Fu Ciyi's talent. Another staff member spoke up, "I think the emperor's move is probably to make Your Highness more motivated. After all, to inherit the throne requires excellence in all aspects. Only with a strong opponent can Your Highness' potential be maximized." The prince smiled and said, "That's right. Father is training me in his own way." The emperor's father wanted him to run fast, so he sent a good dog to chase him, so that he could reach the throne as soon as possible. Fu Ciyi is a good dog. Thinking this way, he felt happy and said to the servants waiting outside, "Pass it on, I will let my concubine sleep with me tonight." It was still morning and it was not even time for lunch yet, but Cai Mushi received the news that she would be asked to sleep with him at night. So she dressed up early. - More than half an hour later, in the dining room of Yan's South Garden, everyone was eating a steaming hot pot. The old Duke said to Wan Niang, "I am not an unreasonable person. In the past, the Jin Palace and the Yan family had a feud, but the Jin Princess is a good person, and I know that. Ci Yi calls me grandpa-in-law, so I naturally recognize him. The Jin Princess does not need to worry that the couple will be separated." "Old Duke, please call me Wan Niang. I cannot bear the status of Princess Jin, nor do I want to bear it anymore." She raised her glass, "As a junior, I offer you a toast." "Okay, okay." The old Duke nodded with a smile. Seeing that she didn't clink her wine glass with his, he asked softly, "Your eyes?" "I was probably poisoned that year, and I lost my sight and my memory. I'm sorry to make you laugh." The old Duke said in a deep voice, "It's not me who said that the Prince of Jin's Mansion is full of smoke and miasma." Then he softened his tone and said, "Do you still remember what happened with the fire?" "I don't remember." Wan Niang shook her head. Hong Qingyi said, "Speaking of the fire, it happened about a month or two after the Prince of Jin made his speech at the palace banquet." Yan Cheng nodded, "It seems that there was indeed a month or two between the palace banquet and the fire." "Nan Yao Bei Mo is three months younger than me." Yan Funing thought for a moment and guessed, "So when the fire happened, my mother was already pregnant with Nan Yao Bei Mo?" Wan Niang smiled faintly and said, "I do remember that I was pregnant when I fled the capital. When I fled all the way to Jinzhou, my belly was already very obvious."

"So, the twins are also the children of the King of Jin. The King of Jin is such a good father that he doesn't even know that there are three other children suffering in other places." Yan Cheng shook his head and sighed, "It's embarrassing to say that we didn't know that our own daughters were suffering." "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's eat as much as we can. Hot pot is a noisy affair." The old Duke picked up the cooked meat and put it into his mouth. Suddenly, his eyebrows raised and he smiled, "So, it is possible that Ci Yi will give birth to twins?" Hong Qingyi agreed with a smile: "Father and I originally thought the same thing." Wan Niang also said: "If the young couple can really give birth to twins, that would be the best thing." Zeng Ke said softly, "My sister and brother-in-law are good-looking, and the twins they give birth to will definitely be good-looking." "I think so too." Yan Yingying said hurriedly, "It's rare to have twins, a boy and a girl. When the time comes, my sister-in-law and I will each hold one." "No way, how come the topic changed so quickly?" Yan Funing's lips twitched as she asked Yuan Lang, "Your mother will hug someone else by then, won't you feel bad?" The little fellow ate with his mouth full of oil and said in a baby voice, "Aunt, I don't mind. The twin sister is my wife and the brother is my brother. I am so happy that I can't contain myself." Everyone laughed at him and said he was a clever guy. Yuan Lang nodded and looked at Fu Ciyi: "Uncle, you have to work harder. My daughter-in-law depends on your and my aunt's ability." When these words were spoken, almost everyone laughed happily. Fu Ciyi picked up the cooked meat and vegetables for him with rare tenderness: "I will try my best." He said it without changing his expression. Everyone looked at Yan Funing with laughter, and Yan Funing had no choice but to concentrate on eating. After finishing the hot pot, everyone went to the flower hall to drink tea. Yan Cheng said, "Ci Yi, it's not that I don't want to keep you in the Yan family. Once your background is revealed, the King of Jin will definitely come to find you. During this period of time, you should stay in the Fu family except when you are on duty." "Father-in-law is right." Fu Ciyi agreed and looked at Yan Funing, "Ningning, why don't you stay at your mother's house?" Yan Funing was stunned. What’s your name? Ningning? Her little face turned red and she bit her lip, not wanting to talk to him in front of her family. Hong Qingyi smiled: "Funing, you are following Ci Yi back to the Fu family. You are already a first-rank imperial lady, so you should have the courage to stand on your own. As the daughter of the Yan family, you should show all your pride. When Ci Yi is on duty, you should stay at the Fu family to protect your mother-in-law, sister-in-law and brother-in-law." Yan Funing said obediently: "I'm going back to the Fu family." Hong Qingyi nodded: "If you really can't handle it, then send someone to tell them that your parents will support you."
