As a princess, Ying Yinman was no stranger to the Xuanyuan Sword.
However, Ying Yinman didn't take Zhao Yan's words seriously.
As everyone knew, the Xuanyuan Sword had been missing for thousands of years as an emperor-level weapon. How could it suddenly appear and become a toy for a three-year-old child?
At this moment, Brother Zheng walked in.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw the longsword in Ying Yinman's hand.
Brother Zheng's expression immediately changed.
He looked at Zhao Yan resentfully.
"How can you run around with an imperial artifact? What if you lose it?”
Hearing this, the expression on Ying Yinman's pretty face froze.
This sword was actually real?
Immediately, Ying Yinman felt her palm heat up. She didn't know what to do, and didn't know whether she should return the sword to Zhao Yan or keep it for herself.
Zhao Yan took the Xuanyuan sword from Ying Yinman's hands, then threw it on the table beside him, muttering,
"It's just a sword. It's fine if it's lost!”
The sword fell onto the table with a clang.
At that moment, Brother Zheng felt his heartbeat slow down by half a beat.
The emperor artifact of the Xia Dynasty had actually fallen into the hands of this kid who did not know how to weigh the pros and cons. It was simply a miracle!
Brother Zheng looked melancholic.
However, he had made it very clear to Wang Jian yesterday that he was not willing to snatch Zhao Yan's things.
However, deep down, how could Brother Zheng let go completely?
One had to know that this was the Xuanyuan Sword, the number one Emperor Weapon in all of China!
In terms of symbolism, the Xuanyuan Sword was no less than the nine cauldrons.
As for the Imperial Jade Seal, at least for now, it could not be compared to this!
Thinking of this, Brother Zheng snorted and turned his head away.
He could only stay out of sight!
The three of them sat down and Brother Zheng said,""Yang Zi, today Zhao Yan changed his surname and name and acknowledged his ancestors. As his elder sister, you must help him in the future!”
Ying Yinman widened her eyes.
She looked at Brother Zheng and then at Zhao Yan. Her big, bright eyes were filled with surprise.
When she first met Zhao Yan, she liked this eccentric child from the bottom of her heart.
Therefore, when Brother Zheng asked them to address each other as brother and sister, Ying Yinman happily accepted it.
At that time, she only knew that Brother Zheng was Zhao Yan's fake father.
Now, Brother Zheng said that Zhao Yan had acknowledged his ancestors. Did that mean that Zhao Yan was really the Legatee?
Ying Yinman's heart was filled with joy, and she immediately moved to Zhao Yan's side and sat down at the same table as him.
"Little brother, what do you want to eat? Tell me, and I'll make it for you!”
The relationship between the two of them had been good to begin with, and now it was even closer.
Ying Yinman's words revealed an intimate tone, which made Zhao Yan enjoy it very much.
He then laid down on Ying Yinman's legs, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said bluntly,
"I want to eat meat. I didn't have a good time eating barbecue yesterday, so I have to make up for it today!”
Zhao Yan's coquettish tone instantly melted Ying Yinman's heart.
Who would have the heart to reject the request of a cute child?
In the following family banquet, Ying Yinman practically became Zhao Yan's nanny. Every time a dish was served, she would take good care of Zhao Yan.
The three of them ate, and the two of them were very close. They talked as if there was no one else around.
Brother Zheng, who was at the side, seemed to have become an outsider.
This made Brother Zheng jealous.
After eating, Ying Yinman raised her head and looked at Brother Zheng.
"Imperial Father, this little brother is still young and has no one to rely on in the palace. Why don't you let him live with me first?”
"No!"
Two voices rang out in the hall at the same time.
One was Brother Zheng's, and the other was Zhao Yan's.
Brother Zheng objected to Ying Yinman's suggestion because he was considering Zhao Yan's growth.
He wanted to make Zhao Yingluo his queen, but it wasn't something that could be done with just a few words.
When he made this decision, Brother Zheng knew that he would definitely encounter great resistance in the imperial court.
The officials did not dare to oppose his opinion and would definitely settle for the second best option to find trouble with Zhao Yan.
Brother Zheng did not intend to interfere with this outcome.
In Brother Zheng's eyes, Zhao Yan, who was only three years old this year, was the most monstrous genius he had ever seen.
The only flaw was that he was a little mischievous.
But this was not a problem.
Previously, it was because no one taught him, so it was understandable that he was a little crooked.
But now that he had already acknowledged his ancestors and returned to his clan, he could not be allowed to do whatever he wanted.
Otherwise, wasting such talent would be a crime against Great Qin!
Therefore, Brother Zaizheng had high expectations for Zhao Yan.
Under such circumstances, why would he throw him to Ying Yinman?
Just look at the two of them eating just now.
If he really handed Zhao Yan over to Ying Yinman, he would definitely be spoiled by Ying Yinman.
As for Zhao Yan, he didn't want to live with Ying Yinman either.
He liked beautiful sisters and often took advantage of them by virtue of his age advantage.
However, Zhao Yan knew his own secrets, so it would be inconvenient for him to stay with someone else.
Needless to say, Zhao Yan had the mind of an adult after all.
It was not bad to occasionally feel the kinship between siblings.
However, being spoiled by Ying Yinman like a child every day, he was still not used to it.
Ying Yinman hadn't expected that her suggestion would be rejected by the two of them in unison.
She felt a little disappointed.
"Sister, my new residence is very comfortable. I don't want to move yet. If you miss me, you can visit me at my mansion often!”
Zhao Yan raised his head, tilted his head and said to Ying Yinman.
Ying Yinman nodded, patted Zhao Yan's little head, smiled, and said,"Then it's a deal!"
Looking up, it was already late.
Ying Yinman stood up and said goodbye to Brother Zheng.
Zhao Yan did not move.
He had something to talk to Brother Zheng about when he entered the palace today.
Yesterday, he didn't hand the Xuanyuan Sword to Brother Zheng, which made the temperament of a devilish brat to hold grudges extremely obvious.
However, in the face of Brother Zheng's current predicament, he could not really ignore it.
Today, he was prepared to talk to Brother Zheng about this matter.
After Ying Yinman left, Brother Zheng raised his hand and said,"What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Are you angry with me for not giving you this sword?" Zhao Yan scratched his head.”
Brother Zheng frowned." Since I've already changed my surname and name, I'll still call you by your name. Don't tell me I don't deserve a proper title here?"”
"Your Majesty?"
Zhao Yan frowned and probed.
"Call me father!"
Zhao Yan was stunned. He held it in for a long time until his little face turned red, but he still did not open his mouth.
"No, I can't." He spread his small hands and said helplessly.”
This time, Brother Zheng almost laughed out of anger.
"Why? You are my son, haven't you already known this? Why is it so difficult to change your words?"
Zhao Yan pondered for a moment and said seriously,"It's not impossible for me to change my mind, but you have to agree to a few of my requests.”
"Speak!"
Brother Zheng wasn't angry. He waved his hand, signaling Zhao Yan to continue.
"Actually, I don't like the identity of a prince at all.”
"To me, you're not just a prince!”
Brother Zheng said without hesitation.
His words were sincere.
Zhao Yan's background had destined Brother Zheng to owe him a lot.
Moreover, Zhao Yan's appearance allowed Brother Zheng to experience the joy of being with a family.
Therefore, Zhao Yan's existence had a special meaning to Brother Zheng.
Just as he said, he did not simply treat Zhao Yan as an ordinary Emperor.
He had many sons. Before Zhao Yan, he had eighteen.
However, deep down, Brother Zheng still cared about Zhao Yan the most.
At this moment, Zhao Yan asked,""Then will you treat me like an ordinary father?”
Brother Zheng was stumped by this question.
He did not know what Zhao Yan was referring to.
What Zhao Yan meant was that he envied the normal relationship between father and son.
However, how could the father of an ordinary person compare to him, the first emperor who ruled the four seas?
What he could give Zhao Yan was something that no father could give him.
Why would Zhao Yan ask such a question?
The reason why Zhao Yan asked this question was just as Brother Zheng had guessed.
He really envied the father-son relationship of ordinary people!
Ordinary families, perhaps extremely poor, would take turns wearing a pair of pants.
However, the relationship between father and son was extremely simple and deep.
A father's love for his son was one of devotion.
During this process, there were no petty schemes, no unnecessary thoughts.
The only thing they had was a pure father-son relationship.
If Brother Zheng wasn't the First Emperor, Zhao Yan wouldn't have to worry about this.
But the so-called Tian family was ruthless!
No matter how much Brother Zheng loved him, Zhao Yan still did not have much confidence in this aspect.
Ever since the Qin Empire was founded, there had rarely been any internal strife between brothers.
Even now, those young masters were all respectful brothers and seemed to help each other on a daily basis. It seemed that they could indeed set an example for the world.
Great Qin was the first Dynasty to unify the lands of the Western Xia.
Not to mention the officials of the court, even the wise and mighty Brother Zheng had never worried about this.
However, compared to the people of this era, Zhao Yan had more than 2,000 years of experience.
He knew too many examples of the Tian family being ruthless!
Let's not talk about the distant ones, just take the Han Dynasty as an example.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty followed Chao Cuo's suggestion to cut off the vassals, which led to the Rebellion of the Seven Princes. The Han Dynasty was almost destroyed.
After the Rebellion of the Seven Princes, the King of Liang, who had made great contributions in quelling the rebellion, even wanted to rely on his own power and Empress Dowager Dou's favor to force the abdication and inherit the throne of Emperor Jing of Han.
Cao Aman's second son was jealous of his third son, so he came up with the story of a poem in seven steps, which was why the poem "Originally from the same root" was passed down through the ages.
As for Li Er of the Tang Dynasty, he killed his brother and imprisoned his father. He did a lot of things that angered the heavens and the people for the sake of authority.
In the end, it was really difficult to have true kinship in the royal family.
However, kinship was what Zhao Yan truly desired. It could even be said that it was the only thing he wanted.
Therefore, just as he said, he really did not like the identity of a prince.
In Zhao Yan's mind, the father-son relationship between Zhu Zhongba and his Crown Prince Zhu Biao was the model of the father-son relationship in the royal family.
Throughout history, in the thousands of years of dynasties in the land of the Xia, it was really rare to have the position of Crown Prince as stable as Zhu Biao.
In fact, as the founding emperor, Zhu Zhongba's sons were not mediocre.
Apart from Zhu Di, King of Yan, who later became emperor, Zhu Zhen, King Zhao of Chu, who also pacified the barbarians, went on an expedition to Yunnan, and conquered the western barbarians, Zhu Wei, King Gong of Qi, who made great contributions during the northern expedition, Zhu Zi, King Tan, and Zhu Tan, King Huang of Lu, who were both literary and knowledgeable, and Zhu Chun, King Xian of Shu, who was praised by Zhu Zhongba as the "Scholar of Shu", and so on.
It could be said that Zhu Zhongba's 26 sons were all considered talents.
Zhu Biao was made Crown Prince at the age of thirteen, and he died of illness at the age of thirty-eight.
During this period of time, Zhu Biao's position as the Crown Prince had never been threatened by his brothers, who were both skilled in both martial arts and martial arts.
Of course, this was related to his humble personality and his love for helping his brothers. The main reason was Zhu Zhongba's unconditional preference for his eldest son.
Speaking of the father-son relationship between the two, it was simply unbelievable.
Zhu Zhongba had many sons, but Zhu Biao was the one he liked the most.
This kind of liking was not purely because she found her son pleasing to the eye.
To put it more accurately, Zhu Zhongba's trust and love for Zhu Biao were not mixed with any political interests!
He trusted Zhu Biao more than ever.
As a result, even if his other sons had committed all kinds of grave mistakes, as long as Zhu Biao pleaded for mercy, the ruthless Zhu Zhongba could be forgiven!
It could be said that Zhu Zhongba's feelings for Zhu Biao were the purest of father-son relationships!
This kind of unreasonable fatherly love was what Zhao Yan envied the most.
As long as Brother Zheng could treat him wholeheartedly and be a good father, it was enough for Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan had never cared about the privileges of a young master or the status of a crown prince. He even felt that these things were a burden.
If it was possible, he wouldn't even want it!
Brother Zheng looked at Zhao Yan, who was staring at him nervously.
He sighed.
He owed his son too much!
It was to the extent that after the father and son reunited, the only request he had for him was that he could treat him like an ordinary father!
Why would he make such a request?
Brother Zheng knew it without asking.
After Zhao Yingluo passed away, this little child had no food and clothing. When he was struggling to survive by eating hundreds of meals, he saw the scene of a loving father and filial son in other people's homes.
In his young heart, how could he not want to have a lit home where he could enjoy the love of his parents?
Indeed, he did not need the identity of a prince. He only wanted fatherly love.
He did not know who his father was since he was young. After finding his father, his only request was for Brother Zheng to be a qualified father!
Brother Zheng couldn't help but rub Zhao Yan's head.
"I promise you because you are my son after all. That's all!”
