Evil Prince, Come Play With Me Chapter 1088 - Retaking His Position

Chapter 1088: Retaking His Position

When he returned to the palace, he went to the empress dowager and gave her the shark’s fin from Prince Zi’s residence.
She happily praised the third day banquet and said a lot of good things about the little prince.
Of course, no one would dislike the little prince’s appealing appearance.
Moreover, the emperor could tell that the little prince was born with explosive spiritual power which he probably couldn’t compare with.
No matter how unreconciled he was, he couldn’t deny it any longer.
Prince Zi’s son had just been born, but was already stronger than the emperor’s son. It was enough that he had been emperor for so many years.
He told the empress dowager that he would appoint a crown prince and then abdicate.
The empress dowager, on the other hand, was happy. She patted his shoulder and said earnestly, “It was hard for you to accept it. I’ve always been worried that you might take things too hard. You have to know… I’ve already helped you avoid death many times recently.”
Actually, it wasn’t the empress dowager who had stopped it, but Princess Zi.
Prince Zi would give up whenever it was something that concerned Princess Zi, no matter how perfect his arrangements in the imperial palace were.
The last thing the empress dowager wanted to see was internal strife.
Although they were all part of the imperial family, she wanted peace.
Whoever was in charge of the family was the strongest.
The emperor hadn’t been as capable as Prince Zi for years. It was time for him to give up his position.
She had been afraid that the emperor would take things too hard and cling stubbornly to the throne, which would lead to his doom.
No matter what, he was the son she had watched grow up.
As for those useless grandsons, especially the second prince, they were afraid of the emperor and did things that were detrimental to the family’s development.
The empress dowager was the happiest about the emperor’s abdication.
She had told the emperor to attend the three day banquet so that he could see the difference between him and Prince Zi.
Prince Zi aside, he couldn’t even compare with Prince Zi’s wife.
The emperor knelt down and thanked the empress dowager for her protection, and the last bit of regret in his heart disappeared.
“You can issue the edict tomorrow. Let Prince Zi see your sincerity, and he may treat Chen’er and the others a little better.”
The empress dowager had the palace maid on the side take the shark’s fin that hadn’t been easy to obtain.
She hadn’t eaten shark’s fin for a month. If it wasn’t because of the conflict over the throne, Princess Zi would’ve sent shark’s fin and bird’s nest in person.
Prince Zi had always been a filial child.
Gu Bailu didn’t expect the edict to arrive so soon. Although she hadn’t attended the third day banquet, she had been arranging matters in the delivery room.
The most important were the gifts that the guests took home with them.
The next morning, the decree from the imperial palace arrived.
Gu Bailu thought that it was probably because of the little prince’s identity that things had been scrambled together. After all, the end of the year had just passed, and the imperial court hadn’t opened yet.
Court would only open again on the fifteenth day of the new year.
It was now only the ninth day of the new year.
Because it was an important decree, even Gu Bailu got out of bed.
However, Gu Bailu was willing to do so this time.
“Congratulations, Your Highness. When court opens on the fifteenth day of the new year, the emperor will immediately hold your coronation. The little prince is indeed the crown prince’s lucky star.”
The eunuch was fawning.
Feng Qingtian, on the other hand, was quite calm about the result.
In his eyes, the country was his. It had only been a matter of time.
Gu Bailu thought for a moment. “We need to have a grand celebration again. It was only the third day banquet yesterday. Did they not eat enough of our exotic delicacies yesterday, so they hurriedly thought of a way to eat them again?”
