This is the first time the king has said this to Huangfu Yuncheng.
The knot in Huangfu Yuncheng¡¯s heart for many years was finally opened at this moment.
He picked up the wine glass in front of him and stood up slowly.
"Thank you very much for your trust, father. I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
The king raised his hand and motioned for him to sit down.
"You don't have to be so formal, Yuncheng. My father has seen the contribution you have made to Country Y over the years. You deserve this position."
Listening to his father¡¯s sincere tone, Huangfu Yuncheng sat down.
The king continued: "I have decided that when Liyue comes back from Jiangcheng, I will hold an abdication ceremony and officially pass the throne to you. You should work hard these days and understand all the state affairs clearly."
Huangfu Yuncheng nodded and said, "Yes, father."
Having said this, Huangfu Liyue suddenly interjected.
"Father, are you so anxious to abdicate for the sake of your mother?"
My father is in good health and has not yet reached the age of abdication, so there is no need to worry.
The only reason she could think of was her mother.
The king nodded solemnly.
"My father and your mother are both old. To put it unluckily, half of their bodies are buried in the ground, which means that they are living less and less each day.
Su Ying and I have missed too much. In the last moments, I just want to live a peaceful and peaceful life with her.
This is also the promise I made to her back then: one day, I will lead her to live a normal life.
I didn¡¯t fulfill this promise when I was young, but now that I¡¯m old, I have to fulfill it, right? "
With these last words, the king had a smile and longing on his face.
In this life, he was used to living a life of glory, wealth, and aloofness, and he began to long for peace and tranquility.
"I have already thought about it. When I abdicate, Su Ying and I will move to Zuiriyuan. From now on, we will not be involved in political affairs and live a leisurely life."
Although Zuiriyuan is in the palace, it is far away from the main hall. It is a quiet house in the palace.
It was also the place built by the king for Feng Suying to commemorate her.
Listening to his father¡¯s plans for the future and his mother, the corners of Huangfu Liyue¡¯s mouth curled up.
"Father, are you and your mother discussing this together?"
"Your mother is seriously ill now. I haven't had time to tell your mother yet. When she gets better, I will tell her the news. I believe she will be very happy!"
Huangfu Liyue couldn't help but envy her mother.
Her father knew she understood her and had prepared so many surprises for her.
She felt much more relieved.
"Father, you are so thoughtful. I believe that if my mother knows this in the future, her condition will definitely get better faster!"
After saying that, she looked at Huangfu Yuncheng again.
Thinking of Huangfu Yuncheng fooling around with Dongfang Wan, she still had a grudge in her heart.
But as one code came to another, she still raised her wine glass sincerely and said to him: "Also, congratulations to Brother Wang in advance. Country Y and its people will be able to thank Brother Wang in the future!"
Huangfu Yeting, who had been silent all this time, also raised his glass and spoke.
"Brother Wang, congratulations to you, I will definitely try my best to assist you in the future to make Country Y prosperous and the people live and work in peace and contentment!"
Huangfu Yuncheng picked up the wine glass.
"Thank you."
The king felt very relieved when he saw his children living in harmony.
"My father is very pleased that the three of you can be so united. My father also hopes that no matter what your status is in the future, you can support each other and not be at odds with each other or fight against each other."
Huangfu Yuncheng, Huangfu Yeting, and Huangfu Liyue said in unison: "Father, please rest assured."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Today is a good day. My father is not just here to tell you this, and you don't have to be so restrained.
"My little grandchildren will go back to country Z tomorrow. I won't see them for many days. I specially invite you all to have a reunion dinner."
Today is our family¡¯s dinner, we don¡¯t talk about anything else, we just talk about family matters, it¡¯s all casual. "
The king was smiling all over his face, looking at Dabao and the others, the affection on his face could not be concealed.
¡°Grandpa, don¡¯t worry, we will miss you every day!¡±
"When we return to Jiangcheng, we will video-record with you and grandma every day!"
The words of the Three Treasures and the Five Treasures made the king smile even more.
Dabao and Erbao talked less. They just smiled and nodded in agreement with what Sambo and the others said.
The king looked at the happy family and felt a sense of happiness.
His only regret is that Feng Suying is still unable to get up and dine at the same table with them.
Huangfu Liyue could clearly see the loneliness in his eyes.
"Father, hurry up and eat. The food is almost cold."
"I'm just talking, the dishes are getting cold. Come on, Dabao and Erbao, you all should eat more."
The king took great pleasure in serving the children.
A warm dinner ended with the laughter of several people.
This is also the most peaceful dinner the king has ever had.
¡
After dinner, Mu Jingchen took a few children back to Chang'an Hall first.
Huangfu Liyue stayed and talked to Huangfu Yeting alone.
At this moment, the two of them were walking on the road to the palace.
"Ye Ting, at the dinner table just now, I saw that you had been drinking. What's wrong with you?"
Huangfu Yeting said calmly: "Lingxi's wedding will be in two days."
She understood immediately.
"It seems that you really have a deep love for Lingxi."
Huangfu Yeting frowned.
¡°Sister, I have been forcing myself not to think about her, but the closer I get to her wedding, the less I can control myself from thinking about her, and I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong with me.¡±
Huangfu Liyue didn¡¯t know how to evaluate his relationship.
"By the way, who is Lingxi going to marry?"
"He is the son of a minister from country E. He has known Lingxi since he was a child."
Huangfu Liyue was slightly surprised.
"How can a minister's son be worthy of Lingxi?"
"It's not worthy, so the minister's son is equivalent to marrying into the Ji family. To be precise, he marries Lingxi."
"Getting married?"
She was really shocked and even found it a bit incredible.
But then, she calmed down again.
After all, the identity does not match, so it is understandable to marry into the family.
"Well, sister, you probably don't know that there is a rule in country E that only a woman can be the monarch. The throne of country E is passed on to women but not to men. Therefore, it is not surprising that the son of a minister is willing to marry into the family."
¡°So that¡¯s it, so when Lingxi came to the palace to choose a husband, she actually wanted you to marry into country E?¡±
Huangfu Yeting took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Yes, I only found out about this after I went to country E."
Huangfu Liyue blinked lightly and asked, "Don't you mind?"
Men generally have some machismo, and getting married is unacceptable to most people.
What¡¯s more, Ye Ting is still a prince.
"If he married into Country E, wouldn't it make the ministers of Country Y laugh out loud?
Huangfu Yeting told her very clearly.
"Of course I mind. As a prince, how can I marry into another country?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
