“Elder Brother Yan, I have already completed my studies and will remain in the capital for now . In the future, we can see each other every day . ” Mo Yunxian only had eyes for Ling Yan .
Ling Yan did not say anything . He only smiled .
Why are you smiling? Do you think you look good when you smile?
Stupid fox .
Ye Qingtang muttered to herself .
The Eternal Emperor was all smiles when he saw the “intimacy” between Mo Yunxian and Ling Yan .
“Yan’er, you and Yunxian have known each other for a long time and have been engaged for many years . You are no longer young and should be considering your marriage,” the Eternal Emperor said with a smile .
Mo Yunxian’s eyes were filled with anticipation .
Ling Yan smiled and said, “There must be order in the family . My older royal brothers and sisters have not yet married, so I am not in a hurry either . ”
The Eternal Emperor only smiled and shook his head .
“There is no need for such considerations . You are younger, but if you became the Crown Prince, there your birth order would not matter . ”
Everyone’s expression changed at the Eternal Emperor’s casual words .
“What’s going on… What does our Royal Father mean?” The Eldest Princess was startled and involuntarily whispered to the Eldest Prince .
The Eldest Prince also looked shocked, but he quickly steadied himself .
“Perhaps it is only a joke . Let’s see what our Royal Father says next . ”
The Eldest Princess frowned slightly but also calmed down .
The Second Princess’s composure showed signs of cracking . Her gaze swept over Ling Yan, and her eyes grew sharp .
But the Eternal Emperor seemed to be completely unconscious of the undercurrents . He said, “It is best to have two joyous occasions together . Yan’er, you are the most intelligent of my children, and I have great expectations of you . So I have decided that from tomorrow onward, you will be the Crown Prince of the Eternal Dynasty . ”
The Eternal Emperor’s words shocked everyone .
No one would have thought that… the Eternal Emperor would make Ling Yan the Crown Prince at today’s banquet!
“Royal Father, thank you for your favor . I will certainly not disappoint you . I will do my utmost to shoulder my duties as a Crown Prince . ” Ling Yan smiled and seemed completely unsurprised by this outcome . It was as if he had anticipated everything . He slowly rose and went forward to make his obeisance to the Eternal Emperor .
At that moment, the Eldest Prince could no longer maintain his mild expression . He glared at Ling Yan with a vicious look in his eyes .
The Second Princess grew even chillier as if her gaze was frozen .
The entire atmosphere in the main hall grew strange .
However, many senior ministers nodded . They also favored the Third Prince, Ling Yan . After all, there was almost no one who could compare to Ling Yan in terms of intelligence .
With such capability and intelligence, he was the best choice for heir .
“How could it be him!” The Elder Princess twisted the corner of her robe until it almost tore . She ground her teeth as she glared at Ling Yan . She regretted not killing Ling Yan when he was in the dungeon .
This development was completely unexpected .
Today, both the Eldest Prince and the Second Princess felt that they were the likeliest ones to seize the throne .
Who knew…
Ling Yan had gotten ahead of them .
“This is the golden seal of the Crown Prince . Keep it carefully . Your Fourth Royal Brother departed recently, and I have no wish to involve too many people . You only need to know that from the moment you receive this golden seal, you are the heir of the Eternal Dynasty . ” The Eternal Emperor personally handed the golden seal to Ling Yan . He beamed as he looked at this incredibly brilliant son .
