"Although the prince has eye disease, he is still the prince. As long as he is the prince for one day, he will be the crown prince. The princes will not let the position of crown prince easily."

"If you want to escape this dispute, you can only let the prince gain the position of vassal king. Therefore, it is naturally beneficial to give the emperor a small gift to you and Ye Chen."

"I understand what grandfather meant."

After Qi Yan's sudden enlightenment, she said apologetically, "Thank you grandfather for reminding me!"

"You have been playing with guns since you were a child. What you think about is how to fight and kill. Although you have changed a lot these days, you have never been exposed to these things inside and outside the palace before, so naturally you will not think about the long-term."

Mr. Qi was not surprised by Qi Yan's reaction, and then said, "You can say this with Ye Chen. If Ye Chen agrees, he will send Yulong into the palace. At that time, I will say a few good words to the emperor, and I believe that I will be much better for you and Ye Chen."

Qi Yan kept Mr. Qi's words in mind and agreed to express this matter after seeing Ye Chen.

However, Ye Chen returned to the prince's mansion and did not find Qi Yan, so he came to the Duke Dingguo's mansion to find someone.

Sure enough, Qi Yan happened to be in the mansion.

After seeing Ye Chen, Qi Yan negotiated with him about his grandfather's intention and expressed his intention.

After hearing this, Ye Chen looked at Qi Yan and said, "Old Qi's advice is very good. He has been in a military life and knows only a lot more about my father than me. Since he has such a suggestion, let's listen to him."

"You are not accused of this position of prince?"

Qi Yan was afraid that Ye Chen was unbalanced, so she asked first.

"I can give in to the position of the prince, but others are interested in it. In my eyes, I just want to protect my family and can't tolerate too many things. Mr. Qi's meaning is to let us see everything in the long run, which is a wise move."

Ye Chen then said, "But we should discuss which one is the most suitable person to give this jade dragon to his father."

"Or why don't you let your grandfather bring him into the palace?"

Qi Yan thought about it and said.

“Okay.”

Ye Chen nodded without objection.

After hearing Ye Chen's agreement, Mr. Qi was naturally very happy.

Immediately wrote a request and sent someone to the palace to show that after the morning court ten days later, I would come to the palace to meet the saint.

...

Imperial Palace.

As usual, Emperor Yan approved the memorial in the Imperial Palace after noon.

At this time, Eunuch De walked in with a stack of memorials.

"Emperor, another batch of memorials have been sent outside the palace."

"Yeah, put it aside."

Emperor Yan put down the brush in his hand, rubbed his temples, and said with a headache, "I have to deal with these memorials every day. The sky is clear outside, but I have no blessing to enjoy it!"

"It's about to get the annual hunting gathering. Your Majesty, you have to go out to hunt, and set a day or two to rest, relax and adjust your state. There is no need to work so hard and tired. Your Majesty should take care of the dragon body."

Eunuch De smiled.

Emperor Yan shook his head, picked up the brush, and continued to read the memorial, "You go back first."

At this time, Eunuch De walked to the door, as if he was remembering something, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, among the memorials sent today, there is a copy from Duke Ding."

"Oh? Mr. Qi?"

When he heard that it was Mr. Qi’s memorial, Emperor Yan hurriedly got up and brought the new batch of memorials over.

I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the first memorial was written by Mr. Qi.

After opening the request, when Emperor Yan saw the content inside, his face was gloomy and clear, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy.

Then he threw the memorial aside and continued to read other memorials. In this busy work, it was late at night when Emperor Yan came out of the Imperial Xuan Hall tiredly.

Eunuch De was guarding outside the door, never leaving, waiting for Emperor Yan to have any requests and could wait for the order as soon as possible.

"Eunuch De, ten days later, arranged a table of meals, and placed in four seats in total."

"yes!"

...

Ten days later, Mr. Qi was ready to take the jade dragon carved by Wen Tiantian out and headed straight to the palace.

After the morning court, Emperor Yan appeared in the Imperial Palace in a dragon robe.

As soon as Emperor Yan came in, he saw Duke Ding and immediately said, "Old Qi, take out the gift!"

Qi Laowei was surprised. The emperor didn't even need to pay his respects and asked for gifts. He spoke straight to the point and asked for the gift box directly!

He smiled slightly, then took out the wooden box.

Eunuch De stepped forward and took the wooden box from Old Qi's hand, and then returned to Emperor Yan, "Just one wooden box?"

"right."

Emperor Yan is knowledgeable and has never seen any rare treasures.

Mr. Qi’s request stated that this was a gift from the prince to himself.

Emperor Yan slowly opened the lock of the wooden box and opened it, the moment the wooden box was opened.

Emperor Yan subconsciously leaned back, and the expression on his face was obviously startled. Eunuch De rushed over in shock, thinking that there was something in the wooden box.

“No obstacle, no panic.”

Emperor Yan waved his hand and signaled Eunuch De not to be nervous.

Then he stared at the jade dragon in the box carefully, and Emperor Yan praised it endlessly.

"Who is this jade dragon? The carving is so lifelike that I just opened the box, which made me mistakenly think that it was a living thing inside. Such meticulous work must be the hand of a famous artist."

Seeing that Emperor Yan praised him very much, Old Qi was very happy.

Although Wen Tiantian is not old, she is really powerful. Even Emperor Yan was shocked by the carving of this jade dragon.

Thinking that his good granddaughter went to Jingzhou, he not only brought back a lot of raw stones and saved the crisis of Jubao Pavilion, but also found such a powerful carving master. Old Qi was already filled with joy.

"Is this the mo jade brought back from Jingzhou?"

Emperor Yan admired it and then put the wooden box cover and handed it over to Eunuch De to put it in.

"Back to the emperor, that's exactly."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Qi stepped forward and walked forward, "The black jade raw stone is warm and nourishing, and wearing it closely together is of great benefit to the body. During this trip to Jingzhou, Yan'er brought some such raw stones back. After returning, she asked someone to carve this jade dragon and asked the old minister to give it to the emperor."

"The Crown Princess is intent."

Emperor Yan was very pleased.

"The prince also helped the mining of the black jade raw stone, not Yan'er alone."

Mr. Qi said again.

"I understand what you mean. You want to say that this is a gift from the two of them."

Emperor Yan understood it and showed a smile on his face.

“That’s right.”

"I have never met the prince for 16 years. The weather is very good today. Shunde, you go to the prince's mansion and let the prince and the princess enter the palace and accompany me for lunch."

Emperor Yan looked at Mr. Qi with a smile.

Qi Sheng stood there without expressing any comments.

Immediately, Emperor Yan asked Eunuch De to go to Prince Xuan and Princess to enter the palace.

It is normal for Emperor Yan to summon anyone.

But the prince and the princess entered the palace together, which brought a great sensation to Yanjing.
