Quick travel: I rely on the childbirth system to pamper my harem

"Should I suspect that I have ulterior motives and stay away from me?"

Yuan Qingning was sincere in every word, without the slightest hint of hypocrisy.

"Father, I have never thought about that position before, but my determination was shaken when I found out that the third prince was not my father's son."

Emperor Yun stared at her and said after a moment: "Get up. Although the weather is getting warmer, the ground is still cold."

Yuan Qingning responded.

"Thank you, Father."

Emperor Yun said: "This matter has completely ruined my father's face. It's all thanks to you."

Yuan Qingning did not dare to say anything.

She knew that Emperor Yun was just testing and was not angry. If he had been angry, he would have implicated her long ago.

"From now on, you can handle the government affairs for me."

Yuan Qingning was shocked: "Father?"

"There will always be such a day, but it's just earlier. Why, you don't want to?"

"My son is willing."

Emperor Yun walked forward without looking behind him. Yuan Qingning looked forward and seemed to see the elderly figure of Emperor Yun. Her father seemed to be really old.

His hair was all gray.

Yuan Qingning quickly looked away, fearing that her nose would be sore and she would cry.

……

After Yuan Run was dealt with, the government and the public were in turmoil.

The strength he had accumulated over the years was like a headless fly rushing around. He originally wanted to defect to the hostile camp of the First Prince, but another imperial edict was passed down.

Yuan Qingning became the first crown princess of this dynasty.

The secrets of the royal family were diluted in an instant, and the civil and military officials no longer wanted to discuss them, and only focused their eyes on Yuan Qingning.

"Do you think the Emperor is old and confused, or has been bewitched by the Crown Princess? How could he make such an unconscious decision?"

"Keep your voice down, don't worry, the walls may have ears!"

"What are you afraid of? We are the emperor's admonishers. If the emperor is confused, the ministers should die to remonstrate!"

"Go to you, I haven't lived enough yet, our emperor is very smart, the third prince has been deprived of his identity, and the eldest prince is too impulsive..."

"The second prince is even more useless, so the eldest princess is the only one left? As long as the eldest princess can lead the Yun Kingdom to a better place, doesn't it matter whether a man or a woman becomes the emperor?"

"That's true, but..."

The people of the Third Prince's faction saw no need to seek refuge with their sworn enemy, so they immediately offered an olive branch to Yuan Qingning.

Yuan Qingning accepted it correctly.

It's just that some crooked people were dealt with secretly by her.

Within half a year, half of the worms in the government and the public were eliminated, and actual posts were vacant. Even those on the side of the eldest prince became obsessed with it.

Emperor Yun saw that she handled government affairs very well, and gradually let go of his power, letting her do her job, and not caring much about the affairs of the court.

"Your Highness, next month is the imperial examination and general election. Why don't you use this opportunity to cultivate more connections of your own?"

The person who spoke was a handsome official named Zheng Chong who had recently followed Yuan Qingning.

He is smart, smooth, and most eloquent. As for loyalty, Yuan Qingning doesn't know how much he has, but he is a capable person and can be used for the time being.

"You think I haven't thought about it this way? But when it comes to talent, how can we be too hasty?"

Zheng Chong said with a smile: "If your highness trusts me, I am willing to do this for you. I guarantee that it will be done perfectly without any mistakes."

Yuan Qingning said nothing and looked at Zheng Chong.

After a moment, she stood up and said calmly: "Zheng Chong, you should understand what I hate most, so you don't need to remind me, right?"

Zheng Chong nodded quickly, not daring to look directly at her.

"Your Highness dislikes corrupt officials the most. I will naturally not play around with my authority, let alone accept bribes privately!"

"Kneel down."

Zheng Chong lowered his head and bent over in an extremely low posture. When he retreated outside the palace, he straightened up and left with a flourish of his sleeves.

Ever since she became the Crown Princess, she had to do everything herself, and Yuan Qingning was almost too busy to leave her feet.

As soon as Zheng Chong left, she opened the memorial beside her and looked down.

"Your Highness, the princess is here."

Zhao Hanwei?

It seems that the two have not seen each other since the wedding. Why did Zhao Hanwei come suddenly?

Yuan Qingning put down the memorial: "Let her come in."

……

Qingguo, the Royal Palace.

Pei Xun stood at the bottom without saying a word, and Qing Emperor sat above him.

Qing Di was in a state of depression and said lifelessly: "Xun'er, when I sent you to Yun Kingdom, did you blame me for being cruel?"

Even though he knew that it was impossible for Pei Xun not to hate him, Qing Emperor still had to pretend to be caring.

As he gets older, it is impossible to sit in this position for the rest of his life. When the time comes, it will still depend on his son's face to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy.

Therefore, even if Emperor Qing didn't like Pei Xun, he still managed to show a humble expression.

"Father, your words are serious, how can I blame you?" Pei Xun's eyebrows drooped, making it difficult to see his true emotions.

"Besides, I know that my father sent me there not only because I want him to be a hostage, but also because I want to temper my temperament."

Emperor Qing then looked at Pei Xun and said with satisfaction: "I thought you would be resentful. I am very pleased that you think so."

Pei Xun didn't reply.

Qingdi coughed twice, as if he was about to cough out his lungs.

"Is your father okay?" Pei Xun asked with concern.

Qing Di calmed down and looked at Pei Xun with red eyes: "It's nothing serious, it's just an old problem."

"On the other hand, how have you been living in the Yun Kingdom these years? I heard that the princes of the Yun Kingdom are not easy to get along with, but..."

Qing Emperor thought of the letters he had collected and said meaningfully: "I heard that Princess Yun often takes you with her and treats you well. Is this true?"

If you fall in love with the princess of an enemy country and return to your own dynasty, you will definitely be ostracized.

Emperor Qing doesn't want to have a son who sells his sex in order to survive. If word spreads about it, it would be a great shame and humiliation!

Hearing Emperor Qing mention Yuan Qingning, Pei Xun's eyes darkened.

"Why do you ask me this question? Do you want to know how my son will answer?"

Qingdi frowned and said, "It seems that those rumors are true. Are you really that woman's guest?"

Pei Xun said: "Your Highness is upright and aboveboard. He and his ministers are just gentlemen's friends. Those rumors are false. My father is well-informed and will not believe the slander."

He actually wanted to be Yuan Qingning's guest, but he had to be willing to do so.

Qingdi narrowed his eyes and did not ask any more questions.

"Now that I'm back, I'll live in the palace from now on, and then move out after the palace is repaired."

After saying that, Qing Emperor waved his hand and said: "When you have time, go and hang out with your royal brothers. They grew up in Qing Kingdom and know more than you."

Pei Xun disagreed.

Qingdi was just pretending to be polite. If he really went to find him, he would definitely cause trouble for himself.

"My son understands what my father taught me."

"Well, let's go down. I'm tired and need to take a rest."

As soon as Pei Xun walked out of the palace, he ran into two men wearing python robes.

"Hey, are you the Ninth Prince who just came back from Yun Kingdom?"

"The appearance is indeed one of the best. No wonder Yuan Qingning likes her." The leader mocked, "Ninth Brother, how does the Princess Yun taste like? She must be popular among thousands of people, right?"
