Chapter 0627 Same surname as the Emperor
Nie Ling'er was slightly surprised when King Xiang said this, and then saw King Xiang helplessly smile and shake his head: "It's true that it sounds familiar, but I can't remember it at all."
In this way, Nie Ling'er lowered his head, thinking that King Xiang had remembered it wrong.
She also didn't quite believe that King Xiang had met Brother Kun or even heard of his name.
The dinner was considered a feast, and the atmosphere was not formal or tense. King Xiang's children were by his side, and he was in a happy mood. But maybe he had never been a father before, so this sudden reunion with his children made King Xiang seem to be a little too hard, and he had been talking to them.
Huzi and Lier talked as if they wanted to quickly deepen their relationship.
Although it is not too late, Huzi is already an adult, and although Lier is timid, she is not childish at heart.
For them, if they want to fully accept King Xiang as their biological father, they may not be able to do it in just a few words.
But they still listened to Nie Ling'er's words, even if they were pretending, they still had to obey King Xiang's wishes.
After the meal, Nie Ling'er left the space for Prince Xiang and Hu Zi Li'er, and went back to the room to rest with Free Spring Tea.
"Miss, when we get to the capital, should we stay at Prince Xiang's Mansion?" Chun Cha asked casually while making the bed.
Nie Ling'er sat by the window and looked at the poplar leaves outside. Hearing the words, she responded: "Let's live in Brother Kun's house. You have to let go sooner or later. You don't have to stick so tightly at this time. You will be even more reluctant to let go when the time comes."
Her tone was calm and indifferent, without any waves.
She has been undergoing psychological development for more than a month, and now she has fully accepted it.
Besides, it's not a separation of life and death. There will always be a chance to meet again in the future. Although their identities have changed, she believes that the relationship between them will not change in any way.
At the same time, in the study, King Xiang left Tan Zhe to talk alone.
"Hey, I think you were only eighteen years old when you left, and now you are twenty-three." King Xiang said to Tan Zhe with a sigh: "It was me who delayed you, but at that time I could only leave this matter to you.
Only you, the king, can rest assured."
"You don't have to say that, Your Majesty. I will do my best to take care of Your Majesty's worries." Tan Zhe said softly.
His loyalty never needs to be explained.
King Xiang nodded and made a promise: "Don't worry, you can choose from all the famous ladies in this capital. As long as you ask, I will definitely help you get a happy marriage."
Hearing this, Tan Zhe's determined expression moved slightly.
He has never been proficient in matters between men and women, but he is not completely stupid. He can still understand who he likes, has feelings for, and has impulses.
After a long while, he finally spoke: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about your subordinates' affairs. Your subordinates already know what's going on."
Hearing what he said, King Xiang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Oh? Could it be that you have someone in your heart?"
Tan Zhe's tone was stagnant and he didn't say anything, taking it as acquiescence.
Seeing his reaction, King Xiang couldn't help but laugh out loud: "As expected of you, you always know what you want, you don't hesitate, and you can stay calm!"
Looking at Tan Zhe with a somewhat meaningful look, King Xiang blurted out: "It must be Miss Nie!"
It's not a question, but an affirmative sentence.
Tan Zhe's expression froze, and his face turned slightly red.
"Your Majesty..."
King Xiang said with a smile: "I saw it early, so you don't have to be nervous!"
When it comes to matters between men and women, the King of Xiang is experienced in many battles. Tan Zhe is dumbfounded. Those subtle expressions and details that others cannot see, King Xiang can see through at a glance.
Just listen to King Xiang continue: "This girl Nie is quite charming and pretty, and she is also intelligent and knowledgeable. But after all, her status is a little lower..."
"But I think she is kind to me. If you really like her, I will be happy to help you."
"When we return to the capital, I will find an opportunity to bring you together!"
Hearing this, Tan Zhe hurriedly raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, you can't..."
"What?" Prince Xiang frowned, looking puzzled: "Don't you like her?"
Tan Zhe stood up, lowered his head and responded seriously: "My subordinates do like Miss Nie, but they have never shown it in front of her, and they don't want to embarrass her."
"I'm just waiting for a suitable time. I will take the initiative to tell Miss Nie. Please don't interfere, just... let me do it myself."
"Are you still afraid that she won't agree?" King Xiang chuckled, "I really don't know what you are thinking about."
Favoring one's own people is inevitable. In King Xiang's heart, if two people can succeed, Nie Ling'er will naturally take the lead.
And this is indeed the case.
So King Xiang couldn't think of a reason why Nie Ling'er would refuse.
But he is a confidant after all. Now that Tan Zhe has spoken, he will never force him to say: "Okay, even if you have a plan in your heart, I will not interfere in this matter. I will only wait for you to get the good news of the beauty's return."
"You have delayed until now because of my affairs. I just want you to get married as soon as possible, so I feel at ease!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tan Zhe breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the voice of the personal attendant sounded from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the young prince and the young lady are here."
King Xiang looked happy and hurriedly asked people to come in.
Huzi and Lier took a shower, put on new clothes, and obediently called "Dad" when they saw each other.
On this day, King Xiang beamed with joy as he was called "Dad" one after another, and his mood became even more joyful.
"Come, daddy, let me tell you something." King Xiang pulled the two of them to the desk in the study, raised his hand and picked up the pen on the desk.
When he lifted up his pen and put it down, the characters of King Xiang were just like the person he was. He moved the pen freely and elegantly, and he wrote four characters quickly on the paper.
Chu Yao.
Chu Xun.
"Chu Yao, Chu Xun." Li'er murmured.
"Literate?" King Xiang looked at his daughter in surprise, as if he didn't expect that she actually knew these four characters.
Li'er said truthfully: "My sister sent me and my brother to the academy to study."
King Xiang smiled with satisfaction, and then explained: "Your surname is Qi, this is your name, Qi Chuyao, Qi Chuxun!"
Once they changed their names, Huzi and Lier already had the same surname as the emperor.
The personal attendant with his head lowered on the side couldn't help but raised his head in surprise when he heard King Xiang's words, but in the end he said nothing.
It's okay for the young lady to call her Qi Chuxun, but the prince gave the name Chu Yao to the young prince.
Others don't know, but he, as a close person, knows that the name Chu Yao was given by the prince to the legitimate son in the princess's womb. It is a metaphor for the best among people, the year of Yao and the day of Shun, which has an excellent meaning.
Now, this name has actually been given to the lost and recovered young prince.
The prince is obviously telling everyone that the young prince is like his legitimate son!
Huzi stared at the name for a long time, feeling extremely unfamiliar and unable to put himself into it.
His surname is Nie and his name is Nie Hu.
But...
"We know dad, my name is Qi Chuyao!" Huzi raised his head and responded with a cute face.
