Chapter 1291 I'm Not Not Coming Back
Cheng Youning shook his head and said disapprovingly: "That's not right. This has nothing to do with my identity. No matter if I am a child from the countryside, a child of aristocratic family, or a royal relative, I should take my father's surname, because I am my father's son. Nothing else can change, but this!"
Cheng Feng, who was standing at the back, had tears in his eyes unconsciously. He thought that his son was not raised in vain, as he knew filial piety at the age of eight.
Seeing Cheng Youning so confused and serious, the clever old housekeeper could only bring up the emperor again every time he dared to mention the adoption: "Your Highness, ministers who have made contributions and are favored by the emperor will occasionally be given surnames by the emperor!"
Cheng Youning shook his head again and said seriously, "The old housekeeper is wrong. My family's surname is Wan. This is asking me to change my surname, not granting it to me. Did Grandfather make a mistake? How come this imperial decree is different from the one promised to me three days ago!"
The old butler smiled and said, "Young Master, it's the same!"
"It's different. I just wanted my grandfather to give me a name, but not only did he not give it to me, he also changed my last name without my consent!"
Seeing Cheng Youning gradually sobering up and still insisting on being serious, the old housekeeper hurriedly said, "How about this, I will go back to the palace and ask the emperor for another imperial decree, asking the emperor to change the prince's surname as well!"
Cheng Feng coughed hard and said, "No need. At my age, there is no need to change my surname. Cheng Youning is the blood of the Wan family, so just change it!"
Cheng Youning looked at Cheng Feng and said, "Dad, I remember you didn't tell me this before. You said I would take your surname, and when I have children, I would take the surname Wan. It's not even two years now, how come you've changed your mind!"
Cheng Feng was helpless and said with some sadness: "Daddy hasn't changed, it's the situation that has changed. Your grandpa can't take back his decision. You should just be named Wan!"
Although Cheng Youning no longer refuted, his frown showed his dissatisfaction.
"Your Highness, the Emperor has ordered you to move to the Prince's Mansion immediately!"
The old housekeeper reminded him at the right time, and Cheng Youning nodded and said, "I know, the imperial edict clearly states that I must move over to see my mansion, but I have one thing I don't understand!"
The old butler was sweating a little on his forehead, fearing that Cheng Youning would ask another tricky question, but he still had to say, "Your Highness, please speak!"
"How high of an official position is this prince? Is he much higher than the prince?"
"Your Highness, your status is naturally much higher than that of the prince!"
"Is he older than my brother, Prince Nirvana?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, you are older than Prince Nie!" The old butler wanted to say that apart from the Emperor, you, the Crown Prince, are the oldest, but he did not dare to say it, because Cheng Youning had too many questions and he was afraid that he could not handle Cheng Youning. The old butler knew very well that talking too much would lead to mistakes!
Cheng Youning finally smiled when he heard this. He said to Qiao Rong, "Qiao Rong, go to Prince Nie's Mansion!"
Qiao Rong, who was good at observing people's expressions, whispered, "Your Highness, what are you going to do when you send me to Prince Nie's Palace?"
"Go tell my brother Hong Yunrang that I am now the crown prince and my official rank has surpassed that of my brother!"
"Ah! Is this appropriate?"
"Forget it, I'd better not go. We are both grandparents' grandchildren. I am still young and have done nothing for the country. I got the position of crown prince because I asked for it from my little grandfather three days ago. Even if my status is higher than my little brother, it is not fair. Also, I'd better not be too ostentatious. My little brother hates people who show off the most. I'd better not offend him, otherwise he will lecture me again!"
Cheng Youning looked at the old housekeeper who had been staring at him and said, "Old housekeeper, are you going back to the palace to report, or are you going to come in and have a cup of hot tea?"
At this time, Master Wan finally reacted, "Old housekeeper, come in and have some tea!"
The old butler smiled and said, "That's fine. I'm here with the Emperor's order. I'll escort His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the Crown Prince's Mansion!"
Shang Xi thought to herself, this Wan Lianxing was really ruthless. He wouldn't let Cheng Youning stay at home for even one more night.
Cheng Youning didn't know what this move meant yet. He said with a smile, "Old housekeeper, take me to the Prince's Mansion now!"
The old butler said, "Your Highness, why don't you pack some things to take with you, such as your big tiger, two cats, three mice, and four monkeys. It seems that Your Highness also has a pair of ducks. Why don't you take these with you?"
"Forget about it. It's not like I won't be back. I'll just leave these important things at home!"
The old housekeeper reminded Cheng Youning, "The imperial edict says that you should move immediately, not just go to the Prince's Mansion. To put it bluntly, you have to stay at the Prince's Mansion tonight!"
Cheng Youning thought that he would come back, so he said with a smile: "I know, the Prince's Mansion is all mine, so of course I have to spend the night in the Prince's Mansion tonight!"
The old housekeeper said in a negotiating tone: "You don't need to bring anything else, just bring those little animals you like. Your grandfather told me about this before I came!"
"Little Grandpa, do you care about this?"
"Of course, your food, clothing, housing and transportation will all be taken care of by the emperor from now on!"
Cheng Youning said reluctantly, "Then I'll take all my pets with me. In fact, they are not difficult to take with us. A carriage can take them away. But my big tiger is a little more troublesome. I'm afraid it will scare the people if it passes through the market."
"Your Highness, don't worry. I have brought Sui Dan with me. When the time comes, just hand the tiger over to him."
Cheng Youning nodded and said, "Wait for me, I'll go back to my yard and take them with me."
Madam Wan took Cheng Youning's hand and told him with concern: "Grandson, when you go to the Prince's Mansion, you must abide by the rules there and listen to your grandfather!"
Cheng Youning said with a smile: "Grandma is probably getting old and confused. The Prince's Mansion is my residence, so of course I make the rules and let others abide by them!"
Madam Wan was really afraid that Cheng Youning would get into trouble, so she continued to guide him patiently. However, Cheng Youning refused to listen to anything. "Grandma, why are you telling me all this? I'm not not coming back. I'm just going to stay for a few days. Your grandson will be back in a few days!"
Mrs. Wan really wanted to say to Cheng Youning, kid, you are too naive. There is no such thing as pie falling from the sky!
It was not until Cheng Youning returned to his yard that he realized how many things his family had packed for him in three days.
"What are these, mother?"
"These are the silk quilts Yuhua prepared for you!"
"Is there no quilt in the Prince's Mansion?"
"I'm afraid you won't be used to it!"
"That's too much, bring me a pair of blankets."
Shang Xi said, "Take them all. It doesn't matter if you have too many quilts."
