The emperor sat in the upper seat, looking at Yan Jiyou with interest in his eyes.

Even the court officials and princes were looking at Yan Jiyou, wanting to hear what he wanted.

Because Yan Jiyou never asked for anything, and never made any demands or conditions to himself.

Yan Jiyou knelt down and said seriously: "Father, I have been thinking about Jiang Zhinian for a long time. I beg you to grant me and Jiang Zhinian a marriage."

"I only want Jiang Zhinian to be my Crown Princess. Apart from Jiang Zhinian, I don't want anyone else."

These two simple sentences show Yan Jiyou's determination.

He also made his attitude clear directly, causing all the ministers who wanted to plot against the Crown Princess to give up.

Yan Jiyou's words were like a bomb going off.

It exploded directly in the hall.

Everyone was shocked.

Everyone was guessing what conditions Yan Jiyou would put forward, but they didn't expect it to be this.

It completely subverted everyone's cognition.

It took a while for everyone to come back to their senses.

No one understands why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to destroy such a good situation.

He actually wanted to let Jiang Zhinian, a divorced woman, become the Crown Princess.

In the eyes of more people, Jiang Zhinian is not worthy at all.

In particular, many people originally thought that their legitimate daughters, and even their excellent legitimate grandchildren, were carefully educated just to allow them to enter the palace to serve Yan Jiyou, become the Crown Princess, or even become the future Imperial Concubine.

But Yan Jiyou refused.

They thought there was no need to rush, as the prince would marry a princess one day, and as long as the prince agreed, it would be their family's chance.

Who would have thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would choose Jiang Zhinian.

They never considered that Jiang Zhinian might be a competitor.

Of course, Master Huo’s disciples would not object.

Master Huo's disciples were a little surprised, but also very happy. It would be beneficial for them if Jiang Zhinian became the Crown Princess or even the future Queen.

Once Jiang Zhinian becomes the Crown Princess, the Huo family will surely rise.

Master Huo will definitely return.

This is something they would like to see happen.

Some ministers stood in the camp of other princes. They came to their senses and felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was self-degrading. He had such a good reputation, but he insisted on letting Jiang Zhinian become the Crown Princess and become a stain on him.

I don’t know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a brain problem after his trip to Jiangzhou.

However, some people think that Jiang Zhinian is so resourceful that she actually seduced the prince to do this for her, which is simply shameless.

As expected of someone taught by Wei Ying, he is capable and resourceful.

The emperor was also silent, but at this time no one knew what the emperor was thinking.

Everyone guessed that the emperor was shocked and didn't say anything.

A minister stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Jiang was the wife of the Marquis of Yongping before, and she was divorced, so she cannot be the Crown Princess at all."

Some ministers also echoed, "Your Majesty, Lord Lin is right. The Crown Prince is the heir to the throne, so the selection of the Crown Princess must be extremely careful. It cannot be Miss Jiang."

"If Miss Jiang becomes the Crown Princess, it will affect the Crown Prince's prestige and reputation..."

Many ministers came out one after another to oppose, and opposed by slandering Jiang Zhinian.

She acted as if Jiang Zhinian was not worthy of being the Crown Princess, and she wished she could humiliate Jiang Zhinian severely.

The emperor just looked at the person who spoke with an unfathomable expression and did not express any opinion.

What did the prince's faction want to say? Tutor Huo's disciples and some military generals all felt that these people were pedantic. Why was Jiang Zhinian not worthy?

They wanted to talk, but they were worried that their nonsense would disrupt the prince's plans.

The prince did not inform them or explain anything at the beginning, and obviously did not let them show up.

So everyone just waits and sees what happens.

Yan Jiyou said, "In my heart, only Jiang Zhinian can be my Crown Princess. If it's not her, I would rather not choose the Crown Princess."

"I was poisoned by Nanjiang before, and it was Jiang Zhinian who saved me. This time when I went to Jiangzhou, Jiang Zhinian not only saved me again, but also saved the people of Jiangzhou."

"In the minds of all the ministers, is it that the person who saved so many people in Yan State is not worthy of being the Crown Princess, and your daughter is worthy of being the Crown Princess?"

"How can you be a crown princess if you stay in your boudoir and don't know the sufferings of the people?"

"Or Lord Lin, do you think your legitimate daughter is suitable? According to the investigation of the Jinyiwei, Lord Lin, your legitimate daughter does have the demeanor of a noble family. She killed her concubine's sister with her own hands. Does this mean she has the means? Does this mean she is qualified?"

"A person who kills his own sisters is so cruel and ruthless that he is unworthy in my heart."

"Jiang Zhinian is a beautiful and kind person who cares about the people. She has done so much and even risked her life for me. She is my beloved. I beg you to grant my wish."

Yan Jiyou was neither humble nor arrogant, and told the emperor the facts, while at the same time comforting Lord Lin who had stood up at the beginning.

Those ministers who opened their mouths to oppose were suddenly choked and speechless.

Lord Lin carefully educated his legitimate daughter, and wanted to use her to marry into a wealthy family. He even wanted his legitimate daughter to enter the Eastern Palace to serve the crown prince.

I never expected to be bullied and ruthlessly belittled by the prince.

As a result, the reputation of Lord Lin's legitimate daughter was completely ruined.

Moreover, the prince actually knew what was going on in Lord Lin’s mansion, which shows how powerful the prince is.

Some people also realized that the prince might have made sufficient preparations for this matter.

The emperor looked at Yan Jiyou who was persistent and serious, and asked, "Have you thought it through?"

Yan Jiyou nodded and said, "Father, I have thought about this many years ago."

The emperor looked at his son and suddenly thought of his first wife and the queen.

She is also so infatuated and affectionate.

She had given so much for him.

He still remembered that before she left, she said that she wanted Yan Jiyou to choose his beloved woman as his wife.

I want him to feel more comfortable.

The death of the queen was ultimately a knot in his heart.

He also owed her.

He knew that there was something fishy about her death, but at that time he needed people from the harem to balance the court.

But now that he has complete control of power and is no longer constrained by the aristocratic families and old ministers, he can support his son.

And he thought Jiang Zhinian was a very good kid.

She has the spirit of the Wei family.

Not to mention that he has made such a great contribution.

The iron ore, iron tools and weapons were all found by her.

I have to say that Jiang Zhinian is lucky. She became the Crown Princess and might be good to Yan Jiyou.

She is knowledgeable in medicine, has high-yield grain, cares for the people, and is willing to risk her life for Yan Jiyou. She is a good woman.

Moreover, she has the blood of the Wei family, making her the most suitable person to be the Crown Princess.

How nice it would be if she was a girl from the Wei family!

But Wei Ying’s granddaughter can also be one.

No wonder he declined the offer when Yan Jiyou was asked to choose the Crown Princess.

It turns out that my heart belongs to someone.

The emperor's expression relaxed, "Now that you have thought it through..."

Before the emperor could finish, the fourth prince suddenly stood up, knelt down and said, "Father, I have something to say!"

The emperor was interrupted and was a little annoyed. He stared at the fourth prince who was walking out of the line and said, "If there is nothing important at this time, there is no need to report it."
