Chapter 282 Good news
The emperor then said with relief: "Now that you two brothers have grown up and are capable of shouldering important responsibilities, I am relieved.
I would like to go see the mountains and rivers with your mother while I can still walk, experience the local customs and cultures, and enjoy a different life.
The throne should be discussed by you two brothers. I have decided to abdicate and will not change my mind. If you are not convinced, then live a good life. When you have a son in the future, raise him well. When he grows up, he can also travel around the beautiful rivers and mountains with his beloved like me. "
After the emperor said this, he turned his gentle gaze to the imperial concubine beside him. The affection in his eyes seemed to be overflowing.
He also gently held the Imperial Concubine's hand, as if he was making his determination clear to everyone present through this action.
Seeing his father's determined look, Yu Gongyu thought to himself that he couldn't let the heavy burden of the throne fall on him. So he quickly said:
"Since ancient times, it has always been the rule that the eldest son succeeds to the throne. Besides, I am still unmarried, so it is most appropriate for my brother to take over the throne.
As for me, I am willing to be an idle prince and help my brother deal with those trivial matters. "
As Uemiya Tamae spoke, he looked at Uemiya Ken with a smile on his face. He looked very relaxed, as if he had successfully thrown away a heavy burden. That look made people want to punch him.
After hearing what Yu Gongyu said, Yu Gongxian frowned and said to the emperor and the imperial concubine with dissatisfaction:
"Father, Mother, please don't listen to Yu'er's nonsense. He should be the successor to the throne. He is unmarried now, so he can focus all his energy on governing the country."
Yu Gongxian actually knew in his heart that being an emperor was not a difficult thing, but the difficulty lay in that being an emperor meant having three palaces and six courtyards, and Ranran had clearly stated before that she only wanted to be with one person for the rest of her life.
If there were other women around him, that would be the time for her to leave him. How could he bear to let Ranran leave him?
When Yu Gongyu heard what his brother said, he immediately became anxious. He stamped his feet and raised his voice and said, "Although I am unmarried, I also have someone I like, and I will get married soon."
After saying this, he unconsciously looked in the direction of Shen Yiran, with a hint of shyness in his eyes. He secretly thought that the woman he liked should be like his sister-in-law, who was kind, intelligent, and especially brave.
The people standing by felt extremely complicated when they saw the two brothers trying to push the throne away from each other.
Normally, we see princes using all sorts of means to fight for the throne, even harming their own brothers and sisters. How can we see them pushing and shoving each other like this? This scene is really rare and interesting.
Seeing the two brothers pushing and shoving each other like this, the emperor frowned slightly, his expression became serious, and then he said:
"Xian'er, it has been a tradition since ancient times that the eldest son will inherit the throne. You should inherit the throne. I will announce this matter at the morning court tomorrow."
When Yu Gongxian heard the emperor's words, he felt helpless. He lowered his head solemnly and was silent for a long time. Then he slowly raised his head, looked at the emperor and said:
"Father, I have a request. If you agree to it, I will take over the throne."
The emperor listened and asked in confusion, "What is the request?"
Yu Gongxian took a deep breath, mustered up his courage and said, "I only want the queen, and I will never take a concubine."
After hearing what Yu Gongxian said, the emperor was silent for a long time, as if he was carefully thinking about something in his mind.
After a while, he slowly said, "It's up to you. In this harem, having too many women is not necessarily a good thing. In fact, a person's heart can only accommodate one person in a lifetime."
As he spoke, the Emperor subconsciously tightened his grip on the Imperial Concubine's hand, his eyes filled with deep affection for her.
Seeing that his father agreed to his request, Yu Gongxian reluctantly nodded and said, "Well, father, I will follow your arrangements."
Seeing that his brother agreed to take over the throne, Yu Gongyu patted his chest with relief, a gratified smile on his face, and said: "Brother, don't worry, Yu'er will definitely do her best to help you consolidate your throne. Together, the two of us brothers will definitely be able to govern the world well."
Just when everyone was still immersed in the matter of succession to the throne, Shen Yiran suddenly felt uncomfortable. She subconsciously covered her chest, bent down and began to dry heave.
I saw that her brows were tightly furrowed together, and her face turned pale in an instant.
Shen Yiran felt something was wrong at the moment, and wondered to herself, given the current situation, could it be that she was pregnant? She silently calculated in her mind, and according to the time, she was pregnant the first time they had sex.
But she was worried, she didn't want to be a mother so early. Although her original soul was indeed quite old, the owner of this body was only a teenager after all.
Yu Gongxian, who was standing by, became extremely nervous when he saw Shen Yiran's miserable look, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Quick, call the imperial physician!" His voice was filled with anxiety.
However, Shen Yiran quickly waved her hands and stopped her, saying, "Ranran is fine, there's no need to call the imperial physician." She herself studied medicine, and this reaction was most likely due to pregnancy.
The Imperial Concubine was also anxious and said hurriedly, "This won't work. It is said that doctors don't treat themselves. Ranran must be too tired from the long journey. Let the imperial physician come and see you, so we can feel more at ease."
After a while, the imperial physician came hurriedly, with a few beads of sweat on his forehead. It seemed that he had jogged all the way here in a hurry.
He came to Shen Yiran and did not dare to delay for a moment. He sat down respectfully, stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Shen Yiran's wrist. Then he held his breath and carefully took her pulse.
A moment later, the serious expression on the imperial physician's face disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a look of joy.
He immediately stood up, bowed respectfully to Yu Gongxian and Shen Yiran, and announced the good news loudly with a happy face: "Congratulations, Prince, the Crown Princess is pregnant. Judging from the pulse, the fetus is fine."
