"Mother, a few days ago, many ministers suggested that I should confer titles of kingship on the princes. I came here today to hear your opinion."

Hearing the emperor's words, the smile on the empress dowager's face faded a little and she said.

"I am old now. You, the Emperor, should make the decision on these matters."

Hearing what the Empress Dowager said, the Emperor spoke again.

"Mother, I want to hear your opinion. I have dreamed of my brother the Crown Prince several times these days, and I have also dreamed of my nephew."

When the Emperor said this, he looked up at the Empress Dowager.

"I think that this time when I make him king, I will also give my nephew a throne."

The Queen Mother's hand moved slightly, and she stared at the Emperor intently.

"You have sent people to investigate many times. The child has died long ago. What's the point of making a dead person king?"

"Mother, if the Crown Prince is not dead, my throne would also be his. My nephew has been missing for so many years, and I have always felt that he is not dead. If I give him a throne, I will be able to give an explanation to my father and the Crown Prince after I die..."

Hearing the emperor's words, the Empress Dowager sighed.

"Since you have made up your mind, I have no objection."

"I want you, mother, to give me a title."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother remained silent.

"You are the one who decides these matters."

After a while, the Queen Mother spoke.

"My mother is old now. I'm afraid I won't be able to see Brother Chen in this lifetime."

After hearing what the Empress Dowager said, the Emperor comforted her.

"Mother, I have been sending people to look for Chen Ge'er all these years, and I will definitely find him. I will definitely let him live a peaceful and happy life..."

The Queen Mother nodded.

"Mother, what do you think of Prince Chen?"

The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor in surprise. This is the word Chen, which is the same as Chen, the title of the Emperor, and also the sun, moon, and stars...

Seeing his mother's surprised look, the emperor said with a smile.

"Over the years, my son has been trying to make it up to him, but unfortunately, he never had the chance. No matter whether he can find him back in the future, the throne of King Chen will be inherited by the next generation..."

The emperor spoke with such sincerity that the empress dowager also looked moved.

"You have this intention, and your mother is happy. If this child is still alive and can be found, that would be great..."

"What the Queen Mother said is true. I will issue an edict tomorrow to make the children kings, and I will also send more people to look for Brother Chen..."

When the emperor left, the empress dowager's smile disappeared.

Nanny Sun looked at the Empress Dowager's expression and said with some concern.

"The Empress Dowager."

After hearing what Nanny Sun said, the Empress Dowager spoke.

"I'm fine."

During the morning court session the next day, the emperor began to talk about conferring titles of king on all the princes.

"My princes have all grown up, and I think it's time to make them kings. I will issue an imperial decree to make the eldest prince the Prince of Yin, the second prince the Prince of Ze, the third prince the Prince of Shu, the fourth prince the Prince of Heng, and the fifth prince the Prince of Xu..."

The princes did not expect that the emperor would directly confer the title of king on the five of them, and the title used would be their names.

The fourth prince, Prince Heng, was extremely excited. His mother sent someone to tell him that the queen had spoken well of them and that he would have a chance to be crowned king this time.

All along, because his mother was only a concubine, his status was much lower than that of his other brothers. He usually kept a low profile and never spoke with his chest held high.
