Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 285

At the beginning of July, Aunt Zhao, the third housekeeper of the Ling Mansion, gave birth to a baby boy.The Prime Minister named the little grandson Ling Jingwen according to the grandchildren's typesetting.Sanfang lost a son through adoption, and now another son is born. The prime minister's wife made an exception and rewarded the concubine's concubine a lot of things, and also rewarded Cui Shi, the daughter-in-law of Sanfang, and praised her for her virtuousness and generosity. Under the management, Ding Xingwang.

Xiao Wenqing sent a gift over, and smiled at her mother-in-law's insinuation.She can't do such a thing as taking the initiative to arrange for a woman to have children for her husband-in-law.Anyway, the relationship between Sifang and the prime minister's wife has become tense, and she doesn't bother trying to please her mother-in-law, so she just waits for the separation in the future.

In the first ten days of July, a major incident occurred in the court. The emperor ordered the prince to form a party for personal gain, hide evil intentions, embezzle the law, be disloyal and unfilial... for several serious crimes, he was removed from the position of prince, granted the title of king of the East China Sea, and entrusted the northeast peninsula of Daqing.The northeastern peninsula is still in an uncivilized area, and the prince was demoted to open up wasteland.

The prince fell, and many officials attached to the prince panicked. Some of them really violated the national law. This time, they were all convicted and punished by the emperor.The emperor gave grace and allowed these officials to choose whether to go to the Northeast Peninsula with the King of the East China Sea.

The northeast peninsula is far away from the capital of Daqing, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. When the king of the East China Sea goes, he will be the emperor of earth.

Those who are sincerely loyal to the former prince and the current king of the East China Sea really follow the king of the East China Sea.

Ling Yuxuan has worked hard for half a year, and finally he can rest.He and Xiao Wenqing have moved into Qingshuixuan, and they can see lotus flowers all over the lake every day when they wake up.In July, lotus flowers are beautiful, with green lotus leaves and pink lotus flowers everywhere, making people feel refreshed; the lake breeze blows, lotus flowers sway, and the elegant lotus fragrance is refreshing.

Lying on the wooden corridor, Ling Yuxuan leisurely fiddled with the lotus in the lake.Xiao Wenqing sat next to him with her big belly, and her swollen legs were directly soaked in the cool lake water.This year because of pregnancy, she is particularly afraid of heat.Both Yun Sanniang and Ganniang said that it is cool to use ice in summer, but the room is not ventilated for a long time and it is not easy for pregnant women, so she often has to sit on the shady corridor closest to the lake in Qingshuixuan to enjoy the cool air.

"Yuxuan, I thought the emperor always chose the king of the East China Sea. I didn't expect the king of the East China Sea to be deposed by the emperor after being the prince for decades." Xiao Wenqing shook his head and said, taking the fresh lotus pods picked by the maids to peel.

"My father and I also thought so, but when the emperor sent me to investigate the faults of the crown prince and his subordinates, I realized that the emperor decided to abolish the crown prince." Ling Yuxuan said.I don't know what Taoist Qinghe who met the princes on behalf of the emperor said to the emperor, the emperor started to abolish the prince after the first year.The emperor may have long thought of abolishing the prince, but abolishing the prince would involve too many officials and shake the foundation of the court. He is already old and has no time and energy to make such a big move, so he has been hesitant. The result of the face-to-face prompts him to use thunderbolt means to reform the court.

"Without the crown prince, the queen and King Qin should be impatient to find someone to ask the emperor to appoint a new crown prince?" Xiao Wenqing asked.She remembered that he said that King Qin would definitely not be the new emperor.

"There are already ministers who have signed up. The position of the crown prince should not be left vacant for too long. Please hurry up and appoint a new crown prince." Ling Yuxuan said.The emperor's aging is a fact, and the ministers don't want the emperor to die suddenly one day. Daqing without a prince is full of blood and blood in the capital because of the princes' competition for the throne.

"Are you and your father not sure what the emperor is thinking?" Xiao Wenqing asked in surprise.Yuxuan was entrusted with an important task by the emperor. Besides protecting the palace and the emperor's Dragon Scale Guard in the open, he was also in charge of the emperor's secret spies. If he couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking, he could only say that the emperor's heart was as deep as the sea. However, the emperor has other forces that Yuxuan doesn't know about to work for the emperor and do things that Yuxuan doesn't know about.

Ling Yuxuan sat up, put it close to Xiao Wenqing's ear and whispered, "Maybe it's Prince Rui." The crown prince was demoted to be the king of the East China Sea, and the king of Qin with the support of the queen was at the top of the limelight for a while. Who would have thought that the emperor never thought of establishing the king of Qin from the very beginning What about the prince?
Prince Rui?

Putting the freshly peeled lotus seeds into Ling Yuxuan's mouth, Xiao Wenqing said, "I have never seen it." She only remembered that this year in Chunwei, Prince Rui was one of the invigilators.

"This is a hidden dragon. It has been hiding its power for a long time." After eating the lotus seeds, Ling Yuxuan said, "When there was a prince, he was very peaceful, and he probably only wanted to be a virtuous king." He took refuge in the prince, and never thought of replacing him in the future.The prince was not around, facing King Qin who had bullied him many times, he had to surrender or take a fight.He has helped the prince respectfully and humbly for many years, and he has a good impression in the hearts of the princelings.

"The emperor is not in a hurry to establish a crown prince. I guess he believes in the words of Daoist Qinghe, and he still has a lot of time." Ling Yuxuan said, the next thing is the performance of King Qin and the princes in front of the emperor.He only needs to act according to the emperor's will; his father has already decided to be neutral on the surface, secretly supporting Prince Rui, and guaranteeing the Ling family's prosperity and wealth in the next few decades.

As long as the emperor can live a few more years, Yu Xuan and her should be able to live a stable life for a few more years.

Xiao Wenqing was thinking in her heart.

"Wenhua is coming back, right? It's already the end of July." Ling Yuxuan didn't want to continue to reveal his business affairs and make Xiao Wenqing worry about him, so he turned the topic to Xiao Wenhua.

"The sixth brother-in-law gave Wen Hua a four-month vacation, and Wen Hua will try her best to come back within the time limit." Xiao Wenqing said, "Xiling is a long way from the capital, and if it rains on the way, we may have to postpone it."

"Have you selected a girl for Wen Hua?" Ling Yuxuan asked, picking up the lotus pod and peeling it.

"There are four with good looks, and their personalities are more in line with his requirements."
