Princess, she is playing again

Chapter 293 Asking for the position of side concubine
"Yes, Mr. Mingzhu confirmed it for Yanran." This is a fact, so Xu Yanran answered in the affirmative.

"Since when have you been so close to him?"

"Prince, don't get me wrong. That Mingzhu was originally the doctor in the elder sister's medicine hall. A few days ago, Brother Yang was poisoned. His father paid a high price to invite him to the mansion to detoxify Brother Yang. Yanran was lucky to know him. This time, asking him to take the pulse, Yan Ran, Yan Ran also paid a lot of money."

Thinking that Jun Muming misunderstood that his relationship with Mingzhu was unclear, Xu Yanran hurriedly explained nervously.

When Jun Muming heard Xu Yanran's high and expensive price, he thought of the post of Minister of the Ministry of Officials that he had promised Xu Chengke, and immediately felt a little pained.

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that what Xu Yanran said did not seem to be a lie, and the stone in my heart was put down again.

Although Mingzhu is greedy and rebellious, he has to admit that his medical skills are impeccable. Yesterday at the prime minister's mansion, his analysis of the empress' mother's condition was completely indistinguishable. The imperial doctor has seen it, it is perfect and there is nothing wrong with it.

Since it was confirmed by Mingzhu, it must be correct.

"He promised you that it was a boy?" Jun Muming asked again, but Xu Yanran stammered, "He, he didn't guarantee it, he just said it was very likely."

Seeing Jun Muming's face darken, Xu Yanran added without giving up, "The genius doctor never promises his words, but Yanran felt that the expression of the genius doctor didn't look like a joke at that time."

Jun Muming was silent, remembering what the prime minister had told him, that He Lianyu's life was at stake at that time, but Mingzhu still told him a lot of risks, which scared him very much.

Afterwards, Helian Yuming was cured, and the people in the pharmacy said that it was their doctor Mingzhu who had a good understanding of Helian Yuming's condition, but he didn't tell the truth because he deliberately made the prime minister anxious.

The plausible words came out of Mingzhu's mouth, which in itself had some credibility.So Xu Yanran is pregnant with a boy, but it is also very likely to be true?
Xu Yanran saw Jun Muming's complexion was cloudy and sunny for a while, she was a little uncertain, thinking about what Mo Xiang told her, she cautiously asked, "Your Highness, do you think that the child in Yanran's belly came at the wrong time?"

"No."

"Then Your Highness thinks that Yan Ran's identity is not worthy for His Highness to bear a child?"

"No," marrying him as the step-daughter of the Zhongyonghou Mansion, if Concubine Xu was still Concubine Xu at that time, if she had acted in it, then it would be no problem to be the Crown Princess.

But now Concubine Xu is no longer in power, so the Crown Princess is out of the question, and he doesn't want Concubine Xu's niece to be his Crown Princess.

"Then why is the prince unhappy?" Xu Yanran asked softly with tears in her eyes.

Jun Muming was slightly taken aback, aren't you happy?It's more just plain, there are many women in the East Palace, but none of them are like Xu Yanran, who conceived a child after only touching a few times.

The child in Xu Yanran's womb made him only surprised, but vaguely regretted why Xu Zhaoning did not conceive the child for him.

If the woman lying under him was Xu Zhaoning, then he would probably feel more conquered, and he also really wanted to know what kind of pain Si Jingyu would feel when he knew his woman had been slept by him.

"Your Highness, Your Highness?"

Seeing him distracted again, Xu Yanran shook slightly dissatisfied.Jun Muming came back to his senses, just about to say something perfunctory, when he saw Shi Song standing outside the pavilion winking at him.

"What's the matter?"

"Returning to the prince, Lin Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites asked to see the prince, saying that he had something important to discuss."

Shi Song didn't dare to delay, so he told the truth.Jun Muming's eyes fell back on Xu Yanran's face, "Your uncle is looking for me."

"Uncle, he..." Xu Yanran looked stupid, obviously not knowing that Lin Zhen was looking for the prince at this time to discuss something important.

Jun Muming's eyes flickered slightly, and then he told Shi Song, "I'll be there right away."

Although Xu Yanran didn't know that they had something important to discuss, she also knew that this was not the right time for her to ask in depth.

In the East Palace, Jun Muming asked straight to the point, "What is Lin Shangshu's business with me?"

Lin Zhen didn't beat around the bush either, especially after smelling the faint scent of powder on Jun Muming's body, the corners of his mouth deepened a bit.

"This minister came here specially to congratulate His Highness the Crown Prince."

"What do you mean by that?" After being congratulated twice in a day, and it was very likely that it was the same thing, Jun Muming gradually frowned, and an unpleasant feeling rose in his heart, as if he was going to be congratulated soon. Falling into a trap is normal.

"Congratulations from my minister, the prince will soon have the grandson of the emperor," Lin Zhen was surprised that Jun Muming seemed not happy at all, but decided to follow the original plan and speak his mind.

"Heh, Second Miss Xu told Shangshu Lin?" Jun Muming snorted softly, a little annoyed that Xu Yanran had made too many preparations behind his back.

"Calm down, the prince. Yanran is still young and full of true feelings for the prince. It is normal to be overjoyed to meet such a liking."

Lin Zhen laughed, which meant to directly admit that the source of the news was Xu Yanran.

"Shangshu Lin, tell me directly, what does your Lin family want, and what does the Zhongyong Hou Mansion want?"

Jun Muming sneered, and the impatience between his brows grew.It didn't seem to be a surprise at all, they regarded Xu Yanran as a commodity that could be exchanged for benefits.

Lin Zhen felt a little humiliated, but still remained calm, "Your Highness misunderstood, our Lin family doesn't sell their daughters, and the Zhongyong Hou Mansion naturally wouldn't be reduced to such a state. We just don't want to wrong the eldest grandson of the emperor, the empress dowager and I am afraid that the emperor is also extremely looking forward to the addition of the royal family, and your highness is the elder, which is based on the right time and place."

Lin Zhen is not Xu Chengke, he is a typical politician who has a profound analysis of the current situation.In the royal family, the crown prince is the head, and the adult princes are the third and fifth princes, and there are even more minors.

Although Jun Muming has been enshrined as the crown prince since he was born, as the queen has been bedridden for many years due to illness, Jun Muming's voice in the court has declined.If at this time, he is married and pregnant with the emperor's grandson, he will pay more attention, after all, there are three types of unfilial piety, the worst is having no offspring.

These meanings were completely embedded in his words. Although Jun Muming usually acted a little impulsively, he was not out of his mind. After a little thought, he understood Lin Zhen's words.

"Lin Shangshu is really concerned about the affairs of the Xu family," Jun Muming sneered, and glanced at Lin Zhen lightly, his tone indifferent.

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Yan Ran is the legitimate daughter of the Zhongyonghou Mansion, and her mother, Lin Long, is also the legitimate daughter of our Lin Mansion. As a brother and uncle, it is impossible to ignore their mother and daughter."

Jun Muming's eyes flickered slightly, this Lin Zhen was an old fox, so he couldn't wait to tell him that if he married Xu Yanran, not only the Zhongyonghoufu would be on his side, even the Linfu would join him.

Talking to smart people has always been unnecessary. Jun Muming understood the meaning of Lin Zhen's words, and he would not suffer a loss if he agreed to this marriage.

"Shangshu Lin should know that the position of concubine in this palace has always been determined by the queen father and queen mother. As the daughter of Zhongyonghoufu and niece of Shangshufu, Yanran's status is not low. Can't stand..."

"It's all up to the prince," Lin Zhen shouted with his head bowed.

Jun Muming smiled, satisfied with Lin Zhen's knowledge, "Don't worry Lin Shangshu, I will take the position of Xu Yanran's side concubine."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness," Lin Zhen thanked him for fulfilling his wish.
