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

"Then how should we stand on the side? Prince Liang and Prince Xian were not very prominent before, how come they suddenly became popular figures?"

"That's right. Who can accept this sudden incident?"

"But the prince hasn't... why are you so anxious?"

"He is unconscious, just like a living dead. The emperor must want to appoint a crown prince as soon as possible to stabilize the situation in the country."

"Stop talking, the Crown Princess is looking this way."

The person at the highest position could not hear the discussions below, but Meng Qingning was closer to the people below and heard everything clearly. She held the wine glass and memorized the faces of those ministers who intended to defect to Wei Yuan.

Wei Yueyao said coldly: "These fence-sitters, my brother is not dead yet, but they are already thinking of defecting to others. When my brother wakes up, they will be in trouble!"

Meng Qingning glanced at Wei Yueyao and said calmly, "What's so good about it? That's not what they meant."

She looked up and her eyes fell on the Emperor.

"This was all led by my father. What does it have to do with them?"

Wei Yueyao frowned and asked in confusion: "Father?"

"Yaoyao, you have to remember that sometimes things are not as simple as they seem. This is true for the emperor and these ministers."

Meng Qingning said coldly: "You can only know a person's face but not his heart, so it's very difficult to get along with him."

"Then I seek to marry the legitimate daughter of the Shang family, Shang Zhilan."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at Wei Yuan: "Have you really chosen?"

"My son likes her."

The emperor put down his wine glass and looked in the direction of Shang Jia: "What do you think, Shang Aiqing?"

"Your Majesty, Zhilan is already engaged." Lord Shang knelt down tremblingly, as if he was frightened, but Meng Qingning discovered that all this was a disguise.

Li Yuanzhi must have said something to them, which led to this scene.

The emperor frowned and said unhappily, "My dear Shang, please don't lie to me. I have never heard that your daughter has an engagement."

"How dare I lie to Your Majesty? Zhilan is indeed engaged, and they are even in love. As for the love of Prince Liang, I declined it on Zhilan's behalf. It is because she is not blessed."

The emperor clenched his fingers and wanted to get angry, but he held back.

"Oh, then can I have a chance to meet your future son-in-law?"

"If the emperor wants to see him, I can naturally let him come." Lord Shang answered respectfully without a trace of panic.

Wei Yuan's face had already turned dark. He never expected that Lord Shang would reject the royal marriage proposal in public. This was like stepping on his face hard.

This also means that it is impossible for merchants to support King Liang.

This means that he will lose the help and encouragement of many scholars, which is not a good thing for him. Instead, he will be able to reap the benefits by offering sacrifices to the king!

The emperor narrowed his eyes, looked at Lord Shang and said, "Forget it today. It's the Queen's birthday, and we can't take the place of the host. Since Miss Shang is already engaged, King Liang, you should choose someone else."

"Yes, Father!"

Wei Yuan looked at Li Yuanzhi, and then at Li Lingsu.

Before they had made a decision, the Queen said coldly, "Your Majesty, I have heard recently about the story of Prince Liang's heroic rescue of a beautiful lady, and Prince Liang also defended Miss Li. Since the two are interested in each other and have a mutual affection, why don't you grant them the marriage directly?"

The emperor didn't know that Li Lingsu was an adopted daughter.

This news was not leaked out of the Grand Tutor's Mansion. However, he knew that there was something fishy going on, but he had not yet investigated the details.

The emperor is too busy with state affairs to care about the private affairs of his subjects.

"Since Prince Liang likes it, I will grant you the marriage."

"Father." Prince Liang still wanted to struggle.

The emperor narrowed his eyes, looked at him and asked, "Why, do you have someone else you like?"

"Prince Liang, you should know when to stop. It's a rare opportunity that your father is willing to grant you a marriage. Don't make a fool of yourself." The Queen paused, "As for Prince Xian, he is still young, so he can have fun for a few more years."

"If you want to get married, just come and find me."

Wei Xian naturally understood the Queen's hidden meaning and said respectfully, "I obey your order."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that something was wrong. He glanced at the queen's face and said in a dignified manner, "The queen's birthday is up to me."

The queen said in fear and trepidation, "I dare not."

"I dare not. I think you dare very much." The emperor spoke in a low voice, still smiling on his face. The people below could not hear what the emperor and empress were saying at all.

The queen stood up and tried to kneel, but the emperor grabbed her wrist and said, "Queen, are you so happy that you are stupid? Do you want to make the ministers talk about you?"

"That's not what I meant."

The emperor asked the queen to sit down and said coldly, "I will not argue with you about the engagement with the Prince of Liang. After all, they are both daughters of the Li family. Li Lingsu's good reputation has spread far and wide. Even if she had a dispute with the prince before, she will be the Prince of Liang's person in the future. Do you understand?"

This is because they are afraid that the Queen will use Li Lingsu to harm Prince Liang.

The queen sneered in her heart.

He really thinks that everyone is like him, who only knows how to take advantage of people's hearts.

The Queen said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and Miss Li have no romantic relationship, they are innocent, otherwise I would not dare to appoint her to King Liang."

"Well, I believe you." The emperor paused, and then said, "You have worked hard these years, taking care of the harem. Thanks to you, I can relax like this."

"This is what I should do as the queen."

"Has the prince improved these days?"

The Queen lowered her eyes and said calmly, "It's still the same as always. She needs the Crown Princess to feed her medicine herself, and she's getting weaker and weaker. The Imperial Physician has seen her countless times, but they still don't know what's wrong with her."

"He has a miserable life and got this strange disease."

The emperor sighed and said, "Forget it. It's good to be an idle prince in the future. As long as the person is alive and well, even if he is unconscious, it is a kind of comfort."

Better than death.

The queen knew what the emperor meant, and also understood that the emperor was testing her.

He even thought of deposing the crown prince.

The Queen clenched her fingers, bit her lip and said, "I think that good people are blessed by heaven. If the prince is really a person favored by heaven, he will definitely wake up. Your Majesty, do you still remember the fortune that Master Chengde told the prince?"

"Purple Qi comes from the east, and the destiny is precious, but there is only one life and death calamity. Once you get through it, you will be able to prosper."

The Queen read out these words and said seriously, "Now the Crown Prince may have to go through a life-and-death crisis. If he can get through it, good times will come. Please give the Crown Prince some more time, Your Majesty."

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Has the Queen forgotten?"

The Queen's heart trembled, and she immediately said: "Of course I will not forget, but the prince is my son, and the emperor is my husband, so I have to say it."

"If the emperor wants to blame me, I will not refute him even a word."

"You, you." The emperor sighed, "Forget it, just as you said, I will give the prince another half month. If the prince has not woken up in half a month, I will choose another crown prince for the sake of the stability of the country."
