I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 754 - Chapter 754 Conferment

Chapter 754: Conferment Chapter 754: Conferment Editor: Atlas Studios Qi Xiuyuan waved at the two children and said, “Come to me.” Little Bear held Little Treasure’s hand and walked over slowly since their legs were numb from all that kneeling.

Qi Xiuyuan carried them in his arms and gestured for the sedan chair to be lifted.

Then, he turned to Qi Haoran and said, “Let the ministers above the age of 50 years old ride a sedan chair back to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.” “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!” The ministers, who had yet to get up, bowed again.

Qi Haoran lowered the curtain and the emissary carried the Emperor, Eldest Prince, and Little Prince away.

The Empress’ sedan chair followed closely behind.

When they returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Qi Xiuyuan held the hands of the two children and entered the side hall.

He handed them to the emissary and said, “Little Treasure, you still have 45 minutes to rest.” Little Treasure exhaled and replied, “Yes.” Just as he was about to be brought down to have the sweat on his back be wiped off, Little Bear jumped and shouted, “Quick, quick, I’m about to pee my pants!” Little Treasure’s face flushed red.

Seeing this, the emissary understood that the Eldest Prince was probably too embarrassed to say it.

Therefore, he quickly carried the two children and rushed behind the screen.

From time to time, Little Bear would exclaim, “Don’t bother taking off all the clothes, just take off the pants.” Qi Xiuyuan, who had not gone far, froze for a moment before shaking his head and laughing.

After relieving themselves, the two children were carried out, feeling much more comfortable.

After washing their hands and perfuming the two kids, only then did the palace maid serve the food.

Little Bear was served a bowl of hot century egg lean meat porridge with a few side dishes, while Little Treasure was served a plate of snacks and half a bowl of plain water.

Feeling bad at the contrast, Little Bear pushed his food to him.

“Brother, eat mine.” Little Treasure shook his head.

“Brother, eat.

I still have to go to court later to be conferred the title.

I can’t eat this.” He might have to stand for a while in the afternoon.

What if he couldn’t hold it in after drinking the porridge?

Little Bear immediately dragged the food back and finished his porridge in two gulps.

Seeing that there were still two snacks left on Little Treasure’s plate, he asked, “Are you done eating?” Little Treasure shook his head and pushed the plate to him.

Little Bear ate some snacks and drank water at the same time, all the while feeling sorry for the Crown Prince.

Not only could the Crown Prince not eat porridge, but he couldn’t even drink water and had to hold back its pee.

The more Little Bear looked at Little Treasure, the more sympathetic he became.

This sympathy reached its peak when he changed his clothes and climbed onto the bed to nap, while Little Treasure was carried to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to be conferred the title.

He couldn’t help but rejoice in his heart.

Fortunately, his father was only a Prince, and he just had to be the Little Prince.

Otherwise, he would have to study a lot and do a lot of homework like Little Treasure.

Not only would he face restrictions in his diet, he would also be limited in his playtime.

Realizing how pitiful he was, Little Bear decided to treat Little Treasure better in the future.

In the main hall of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Little Treasure was officially bestowed with the name Wencheng and the courtesy name Tianyou, blessed by the heavens and granted a period of tranquility.

Qi Xiuyuan’s high expectations for the Crown Prince could be seen from this.

Qi Xiuyuan officially crowned Little Treasure and conferred him the title of Crown Prince.

Little Treasure knelt down respectfully and did his three obeisances and nine kowtows to thank him.

Henceforth, he officially became the Crown Prince.

At this moment, the sky was already dark outside.

The ministers respectfully retreated out of the palace.

On the way, someone caught up to the Left Minister Rong Xuan, who was walking in front, and said with a smile, “His Majesty has high hopes for the Crown Prince.

With ‘Chen’ as his name, traditionally, this has been unique to the Crown Prince alone.” ‘Chen’ represents the union of heaven and earth, associated with the North Star, a symbol of the Emperor.

One could assume that unless he made a huge mistake in the future, the Crown Prince would be the next Emperor.

However, he wondered with the Emperor chose ‘Chen’ for the name instead of as a courtesy name, considering the significance typically reserved for the latter.

Logically speaking, this word was more suitable for the Emperor’s expectations of the Crown Prince.

“His Majesty is the Emperor, but he’s also a father.

Tianyou is not inferior to Chen,” Rong Xuan explained with a smile.

The official was shocked.

Only then did he realize that he had accidentally voiced his doubts.

Rong Xuan stopped in his tracks and looked at the official who was lowering his head and retreating.

“The Crown Prince’s name is not something we can discuss.

Lord, please be careful with your words and actions in the future.” “Yes, I understand.” Seeing that Rong Xuan had walked far away, the official wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

He must be feeling dazed from a heatstroke after standing for an entire day, which was why he asked such a question that could bring him trouble.

He gently patted his mouth as he hurriedly followed his colleagues out of the palace.

Qi Haoran, too, didn’t expect Qi Xiuyuan to change his mind at the last minute.

“Didn’t you say that you were going to give him the name ‘Tianyou’ and courtesy name ‘Chen’?” Qi Xiuyuan said with a smile, “I always think that since he doesn’t have many brothers, it’s better for them to share the name ‘Wen’.

This way, when the cousins go outside in the future, everyone will know that they’re from the same lineage.

Moreover, I’m his Royal Father.

As a father, I hope that the child will be healthy and safe, protected by the heavens.” Qi Haoran lowered his eyes and said, “Big brother, Little Treasure is in great health.

He will definitely live a long and healthy life and have many descendants.” Qi Xiuyuan nodded with a smile.

“Of course.

Alright, since today is a good day, do stay in the palace with Sister-in-law.

Let’s celebrate together as a family.” The family banquet was placed in the side hall of the Palace of Earthly Tranquility.

Li Jinghua hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should invite Consort Xian over.

Qi Xiuyuan had already changed into casual clothes and carried Little Treasure out.

Little Bear was jumping around and rushing over to grab the candy on the table to stuff into his mouth.

At the sight of this, Li Jinghua instantly dispelled the thought and smiled.

She went forward and gently patted Little Bear’s little hand, then chided, “You shouldn’t eat candy this close to dinnertime.

Your mother might give you a beating when she comes.” Little Bear covered his mouth with both hands, his eyes darted around, and his cheeks puffed up as he chewed quickly, as though afraid that he wouldn’t finish swallowing it by the time his mother came over.

Qi Xiuyuan pulled Little Bear into his arms and rebuked, “Why are you scaring the child?

Little Bear, don’t be afraid.

Eat slowly.

Your mother is here, but Royal Uncle is also here.” As Little Bear chewed with his cheeks puffed up, he pondered his royal uncle’s authority.

Before he could figure it out, he saw his mother and father each carrying a jar of wine.

Little Bear whimpered and plunged into Qi Xiuyuan’s arms.

His little arms hugged Qi Xiuyuan’s waist firmly as he buried his face in Qi Xiuyuan’s embrace while he continued to chew the candy in his mouth.

He vaguely regretted stuffing so much candy into his mouth earlier.

Qi Xiuyuan glared at the couple and patted Little Bear to gently comfort him.

“Little Bear, don’t be afraid.

Your Royal Uncle is here.” Mu Yangling and Qi Haoran felt wronged.

They had merely gone to retrieve the wine that Qi Xiuyuan secretly kept after breaking into the palace back then.

Why were they being glared at the moment they entered?

Little Bear pricked up his ears.

Seeing that his parents didn’t dare to refute, he wasn’t in a hurry anymore.

He simply continued to nestle in Qi Xiuyuan’s arms while he properly chewed and swallowed the candy in his mouth.

He placed all its strength on Qi Xiuyuan’s knees, with his calves still curled up.

When Qi Haoran saw this, he reprimanded, “Little Bear, how can you do this?

Hurry up and stand properly.” Qi Xiuyuan patted Little Bear’s back comfortingly and said calmly, “Is this a place for you to lecture your son?

You weren’t even half as obedient as him when you were young.” Little Bear’s legs were raised smugly, and he even twisted his butt smugly at Qi Haoran.

Qi Haoran was so angry that his eyebrows were raised.

Mu Yangling calmly helped Li Jinghua set up the dining table.

Wasn’t lecturing Little Bear in front of Qi Xiuyuan indirectly pampering him?

Her forte was in settling scores later.

There was plenty of time to slowly teach the child when they returned home.
