It must be… his imagination!
Yan Huaijing would never admit that a dying invalid would be more radiant than him.
Yan Huaijing said indifferently, “Long time no see, Cousin. I heard that you’ve returned to the Capital. I was just about to visit you at the manor.”
Look, look, just a moment ago, he was still scheming against him, but in the next second, he was chatting with him as if nothing had happened.
Yan Jiuchao said indifferently, “Do you know the difference between a human and a pig?”
Yan Huaijing was stunned. What was he talking about?
Yan Jiuchao raised his eyebrows and snorted. “The difference is that pigs have always been pigs, but humans are sometimes not humans.”
Yan Huaijing :
Was he indirectly scolding him that he was inferior to a pig?
Yan Huaijing’s face instantly darkened!
Yan Huaijing felt that the fact that he had sent Xianglian to poison Yan Jiuchao with Gu had been exposed. Yan Jiuchao most likely hated him because of this.
However, scolding him that he was inferior to a pig? This was too inconsistent.
What were the characteristics of a pig? It was stupid. He might be a little ruthless when it came to dealing with Yan Jiuchao, but he was definitely not stupid.
Therefore, a fool was a fool. It was not even appropriate to curse.
Yan Huaijing felt uncomfortable, but he did not feel too uncomfortable. After all, his father’s condition had improved quite a bit, and he promised on the spot that he would give him a huge reward.
The reward that his father talked about was not just any rewards.
He was already the prince of a country. What else could he confer? He could only be the Crown Prince!
At the thought of this, all the unhappiness caused by Yan Jiuchao disappeared. When he became the Crown Prince, the throne would be his.
The next day, Yan Huaijing went to court filled with hope. The Emperor did not disappoint Yan Huaijing. Eunuch Wang took the imperial edict personally stamped by the Emperor and announced that Yan Huaijing was conferred the title of Crown Prince of the Great Zhou in front of the civil and military officials.
Yan Huaijing was bursting with joy. After working hard for so many years, he had finally seen the light and sat in the position of Crown Prince!
“Congratulations, Your Highness! Long live His Majesty! Long live Your Highness!” The entire court knelt down and kowtowed to Yan Huaijing. Their uniform shouts resounded through the clouds, as if they wanted to lift the roof of the throne room.
This was a glorious moment that belonged to Yan Huaijing. Yan Huaijing felt that he had stood at the peak of power, respected by tens of thousands of people, and enjoyed endless glory.
While Yan Huaijing was intoxicated, Eunuch Wang suddenly coughed heavily. “Ahem! His Majesty has another imperial edict.”
Yan Huaijing smiled shyly. His father was really too much. Why was he so polite? It was enough to confer him as the Crown Prince. There was really no need for other rewards. Speaking of which, what would his father reward him with? That manor was no longer worthy of his status as the Crown Prince, so should he reward him with a new one?
Everyone also felt that Yan Huaijing was going to receive a reward that was compatible with his status. They could not help but give him congratulatory or jealous looks. Naturally, those who congratulated him were from his faction, such as the Prime Minister. It was hard to say who was jealous of him. There were princes and ministers who could not be used by him.
Finally, Eunuch Wang took out the second imperial edict.
Yan Huaijing didn’t pay much attention to the words in the beginning, but the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. In the end, his expression darkened. When Eunuch Wang finished reading it, he was stunned. The last two sentences circled in his mind—”Confer Yan Jiuchao as the Regent and give him the Regent Manor. From today onwards, he will assist the Crown Prince and supervise the country!”
Wait, what did Eunuch Wang say? Yan Jiuchao became the Regent? Yan Jiuchao would start supervising the country from now on? Then what should he do?!
This was an obvious promotion and a hidden demotion!
He had become the Crown Prince with no title, but Yan Jiuchao had become the Regent who had great power? And… he had even obtained a Regent Manor? It wasn’t that Yan Jiuchao didn’t have a place to stay, okay? His Young Master Manor wasn’t smaller than Prince Jing Manor, okay?
They were both conferred titles, so why did Yan Jiuchao have a manor but he didn’t?!
Could it be any more deceiving? He was simply biased!!!
How proud he was just now was how disappointed he was now. Yan Huaijing was not surprised at all. Actually, to be able to be the Crown Prince, even if it’s a Crown Prince who could not supervise the country, was enough to make people excited. There were many Crown Princes in the past, but there were only a few who supervised the country. It was really not embarrassing!
However, if he conferred the title of that great demon Yan Jiuchao on the same day and let Yan Jiuchao ride on his head as the Regent and take away his original real power, this would be a slap in the face!
