The Reborn Lady

Chapter 183

Chapter 183

Emperor Yongping verbally decided on the candidate for the new crown prince and asked his four sons to step down and return to wherever they had served before.

The four brothers walked out of the imperial study. When they got outside, Wei Han smiled and congratulated Wei Ruo, saying, "Congratulations, Third Brother. From now on, we brothers will all listen to you."

Wei Jing also looked over with a smile.

He was the youngest brother. When his eldest brother was alive, he was undoubtedly the candidate for the crown prince. Now that his eldest brother is gone, there are still three older brothers ahead of him, so it will never be his turn. Therefore, Wei Jing never thought about anything. This is a rational analysis. Emotionally, Wei Jing also admires his third brother. He believes that his father must have chosen his third brother a long time ago. The questioning just now was just a formality.

Wei Ruo was a man of few words. He would neither be humble in front of the emperor nor be polite to his younger brothers. He accepted the congratulations from his two younger brothers and looked at his second oldest brother, Wei Yan.

Wei Yan's heart felt aggrieved and sad!

How did it turn out like this? Logically, the brothers should be humble when the emperor asks anyone, but why did the third brother directly say that he wanted to be the crown prince? What's even more infuriating is that the emperor didn't even discuss it with the third brother and really let him be the crown prince!

Wei Yan felt mixed emotions but couldn't show them, so he had to put on a smile and congratulate Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo could see that his second brother had some thoughts, but that didn't matter.

If the fourth brother wanted to compete with him, there might be some trouble. However, the second brother was ambitious but lacked the talent and courage, so he would just give in after a while.

"Go and do your duty. My eldest brother is leaving soon. You and I should do our best to help our father."

Wei Ruo said, taking the lead and walking forward.

The matter of appointing the crown prince was currently known only to Emperor Yongping, Eunuch Hai, and the four brothers. As Emperor Yongping had not issued an order, the four brothers did not disclose it to the officials in the same office, nor did they inform their mothers. The palace was full of spies of the emperor, and they were spreading the news everywhere, which was not respectful.

Of course, Wei Ruo was the one who should least be so ostentatious. It was not something he could do to be so impatient and shout about it everywhere right after being named the crown prince.

Wei Han and Wei Jing adhered to the principle of caution. As for Wei Yan, he still had a little hope in his heart, hoping that when his father announced it publicly, the ministers would stand up and oppose it.

Even though they won't tell anyone else, the princes will definitely have a chat about it when they return home.

Prince of Xiang's Palace.

"The new crown prince has been chosen so soon?"

Fushan stood beside Wei Han and asked in surprise as he took the dragon robe he had taken off.

Wei Han nodded and said, "It's better to decide it sooner rather than later, so as to avoid people panicking."

Not to mention the second brother, ever since the death of his eldest brother, his heart has been burning with anger. He feels that he is not without a chance, but his reason tells him that with his third brother around, that position will never fall on him.
