Chapter 425 I agree
No wonder the emperor was breathing rapidly. In the Great Chu, children can only follow their father’s surname.
If you take your mother's surname, people will think that you have forgotten your ancestors' names, and you will not be able to be buried in the ancestral tomb after death!
Seeing the emperor so excited, Chen Changan shrugged: "It's just a name. Whether it's my surname or her mother's surname, they are all my children. Your Majesty, if you like, I have no problem changing my surname."
The emperor laughed and clapped his hands vigorously: "Chang'an, you also tell me what to say and make a written agreement!"
Chen Changan was somewhat speechless. What kind of written document was needed for this?
But since the emperor has made the request, just establish it. It doesn’t matter anyway.
The emperor was obviously very happy after receiving the written document. He nodded and said, "I will tell you the truth. After several attempts, I found that you have no intention of usurping the throne. I will hand over the country of Great Chu to you. I am relieved."
"But maybe what I am thinking is unnecessary. What about Xiang Wang a hundred years later?"
"What kind of son can he raise with his character? Humph, this time it's good, the country of Great Chu is safe."
Since the emperor was happy, Chen Changan was naturally happy too.
"Okay, my dear, I have finished what I wanted to talk to you about."
The emperor was delighted and nodded, saying, "Assist Xiang Wang wholeheartedly. If that doesn't work, assist your child. I have no other wishes."
"I heard that you are going to go on a war. This is your own decision. I will not participate. It's just... hehe, things that need to be done must be done. No one can hurt my Princess Ning'an."
When the emperor said this, his face was filled with murderous intent, and Chen Changan quickly nodded to show his agreement.
The emperor was busy with official duties and had returned to the palace. This was Chen Changan's mourning hall. Zhao Qingcheng and Sun Jingyi were receiving guests and had no time to pay attention to Chen Changan.
Chen Changan felt uncomfortable staying in the room and said softly, "Miss Liu, Miss Liu... I want to go out..."
Chen Changan called for a long time, but no one answered.
When Chen Changan was sighing, a voice came from the room: "Why, do you want to go out for a walk?"
The eldest princess was wearing a gorgeous palace dress. The dress was made of purple brocade with intricate and exquisite patterns embroidered with golden silk threads, which sparkled brightly in the sun.
Her long hair was piled up high in an exquisite bun, dotted with pearls and gems, making it sparkle.
A golden hairpin in the shape of a phoenix hung by her ear. Her face was extremely beautiful, with eyebrows as dark as distant ink, eyes as clear as autumn water, a straight and upturned nose, and a dot of red lips below.
Chen Changan was surprised to see the princess: "Princess, why are you here?"
"You're already dead, how could I not come?" The eldest princess gently shook her head, "You too, have you even disregarded your own name in order to save Ning An?"
Chen Changan shrugged. At that time, he didn’t think too much about it.
"I've thought about it. If anything happened to Ning An, you would definitely be very sad. How could I bear to see you sad?"
The princess was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "You are like this, always saying things that make people blush and their hearts beat fast... If you say that again, I will ignore you."
There was a flash of pain in the eldest princess's eyes.
Memories flooded into her heart like a tide. The good and bad times, the ups and downs they had experienced together, all kept emerging in her mind.
Tears poured out like a flood, blurring her eyes in an instant.
Her cheeks were covered with tears, falling drop by drop, and those tears contained endless longing, guilt, joy and heartache.
"Princess, what... is going on?" Chen Changan was confused by the princess's crying.
"I survived a great disaster and escaped death. You should be happy for me. Why are you crying?"
"I don't want to cry either, but... I can't help it when I think of our past."
The princess gently lay in Chen Changan's arms and sighed, "When I first met you, I just thought you were so annoying. You actually took Xiang Wang to that kind of place."
"Later, you risked your life to save me, and that day you risked your life to save Ning An... Only then did I realize that you are a real man."
"I hope that one day I can die for you."
Chen Changan was excited and hugged the princess tightly.
To be honest, it was just a bad first impression of the eldest princess. Since then, the two of them have gotten along very harmoniously.
The princess suddenly asked, "Chang'an, tell me, what did you do to Xiang Yingyu in the ruins?"
"What else can I do?" Chen Changan shook his head and said, "You know the situation at that time. I am lucky to be alive. What can I do to her?"
"I don't know either. I just find it weird."
The princess sighed and said, "After coming out of the ruins, Ning An didn't want to live in the palace anymore. He insisted on moving here. This is because he didn't see the emperor. If he had seen him, he would definitely beg for mercy."
"I was just wondering, are you two already married?"
Chen Changan looked at the eldest princess with amusement. The eldest princess shook her head, knowing that she was thinking too much.
Chen Changan patted his chest and said, "Princess, you think too much. I am a pure and innocent young man. I am definitely not a person who has gained fame in vain."
The eldest princess naturally heard the teasing in his words, and pouted and said, "You are still innocent. Why didn't you say so when you sucked out the snake venom for me?"
"The situation is critical, and I have no choice." Chen Changan licked his lips, "Speaking of this, Princess... you are so naive, you are still dreaming about it now."
"You're lying." The princess obviously didn't believe it. "I told you to cancel the engagement after I came back, but you were so happy. Besides, you already have Zhao Qingcheng, how can you still think of me?"
Speaking of Zhao Qingcheng, Chen Changan suddenly remembered something: "Princess, I want to ask you a question, can you answer me honestly?"
"What's the matter?" The eldest princess looked at Chen Changan.
"It was during the day, the day when Zhao Qingcheng and I had our incident."
Chen Changan licked his lips: "Tell me the truth, did you...see it?"
"what!"
The eldest princess never expected that Chen Changan would actually ask this question. She wanted to refuse to answer, but she couldn't do so.
"Of course, I saw what you did, of course."
Chen Changan leaned over to the eldest princess' ear and whispered something.
The eldest princess blushed: "No! You, even though you are the prince consort, we haven't gotten married yet, how can I satisfy you?"
Chen Changan looked at the princess strangely, shook his head and said, "Princess, you... are not satisfied with me?"
"Of course, I-I wasn't prepared."
"What are you preparing for this?" Chen Changan was speechless. "I mean, I'm hungry, and I asked you to go downstairs and give me some noodles. Are you still not satisfied?"
The eldest princess was slightly stunned and looked at Chen Changan suspiciously. Did you really say that?
Chen Changan laughed out loud, and the eldest princess was speechless.
She quickly ran out of the house on tiptoe, and soon brought back the noodles fried by Sun Jingyi and soaked them in boiling water.
The noodles became quite soft after being soaked for a few minutes. The noodles were already oily, so the yellow bowl of noodles, coupled with the seasoning box and large pieces of beef jerky, was perfect.
Chen Changan ate with relish. The eldest princess also took two bites and couldn't help but exclaim in praise.
"Changan, you are still the best."
The princess looked at the noodles and asked, "How could you think of frying the noodles and then just soaking them in an emergency?"
Chen Changan shook his head and said, "It's nothing. It's just that there is not enough time. If there is enough time, I can still find a way to make our soldiers eat better, so that they can be worthy of their efforts."
Chen Changan waved his fist vigorously, and the eldest princess bit her lip.
"Changan, can I... tell you a secret?"
"what?"
"In fact, when Father knew that you had so many businesses and were so rich, he once doubted you."
"What do you doubt about me?"
"Of course I doubt your loyalty." The eldest princess sighed, "I saw my father pacing back and forth in the room, obviously not knowing what to do with you."
"But since you have taken out money to support the development of the royal family, this is even more rare. You can improve the treatment of the troops..."
"Father finally believes you."
The princess lowered her head and said, "To put it bluntly, I am the bond that maintains your relationship..."
Chen Changan chuckled and looked at the eldest princess, raised his eyebrows and said: "You are not a bond. Have you ever seen a bond that dares to refuse the master's request?"
Chen Changan's voice was full of passion, and the eldest princess hesitated for a moment.
"Chang, Chang'an, this...you, you really want, really want...?"
"What do you think?" Chen Changan raised his eyebrows.
"Okay, then I, I... agree!"
