After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

Zhou Menglin said with a smile: "Xuan'er has also reached the age of marriage. I have my eyes on a girl and want to ask your majesty to point her to Xuan'er as my concubine."

Xiao Chenyu pretended not to know and asked, "It's time to consider Xuan'er's marriage. I wonder who my concubine will choose?"

Zhou Menglin's eyes looked around and finally locked on Lin Qingyao.

"Your Majesty, this is Lin Qingyao, the daughter of General Lin."

As soon as this was said, everyone present showed surprised expressions.

Everyone knows that Lin Qingyao, the daughter of the general, likes the fourth prince. It is impossible that the queen has not heard of this. Why did she propose to marry the fifth prince today?

When Queen Cai said she had a crush on a girl, Xiao Jingyi had already guessed that it was Lin Qingyao.

It seemed that Jamel Xiao couldn't win Lin Qingyao's heart and started to use strong tactics.

Xiao Jingyi was not panicked at all. Even if he asked his father to grant a marriage, Lin Qingyao would have to nod. He was very sure that Lin Qingyao would never agree.

But this is a good opportunity. If we openly and honestly propose a fair competition with Jamel Xiao, wouldn't we be able to get Lin Qingyao while avoiding the suspicion of our father?

Xiao Jingyi felt happy, he couldn't miss this good opportunity that came to his door.

Xiao Jingyi winked at Concubine Ji Shu, signaling him to fight for a chance for her.

Unlike Xiao Jingyi who was sure of winning, Concubine Ji Shu was a little panicked after hearing the Queen's words just now.

She was well aware of the feelings between the emperor and the empress. If the empress asked, the emperor would basically not refuse.

Lin Qingyao is very important to her son's great cause. They must get it and must not let Jamel Xiao snatch it away.

Concubine Ji Shu was already prepared and stood up as soon as she received her son's signal.

"Your Majesty, what a coincidence. Miss Lin Er also likes her very much and wants to marry her as his concubine on Yi'er's behalf."

Concubine Ji Shu's words undoubtedly complicated the matter. At this moment, the main hall was silent, and everyone was waiting for Xiao Chenyu's response.

Zhou Menglin had discussed it with him in advance, and Xiao Chenyu knew what was going on, but he didn't expect Concubine Ji Shu to intervene.

Concubine Ji Shu had always been restless. If she said that she had no selfish motives for targeting the Lin family girl, Xiao Chenyu would not believe it.

Yi'er seems to really like the Lin family girl, but it's hard to say whether Concubine Ji Shu is using Yi'er's thoughts to have other plans.

Xiao Chenyu thought for a moment and then said: "My two beloved concubines will make it very difficult for me. Anyone who agrees will be unhappy. Since it is related to the marriage of the two princes, why not come and see Xuan'er and Yi What do you think?"

Although Xiao Chenyu had already made a decision, he still had to go through the formalities, otherwise he would end up acting arbitrarily.

Jamel Xiao was confident, so he was not in a hurry and motioned to Jamel Xiao to speak first.

Jamel Xiao was not polite to him, and said respectfully: "I would like to inform my father, I have admired Miss Lin for a long time and would like to marry Miss Lin as a royal concubine. Please grant my permission."

Not to be outdone, Xiao Jingyi said, "I would like to inform my father that my son and I are also enamored with Miss Lin Er. I would like to grant her the position of concubine. Please grant my permission."

When the two said these words, the whole place was in an uproar.

Although everyone here knew the influence of the forces behind Lin Qingyao on the battle for the throne, they did not expect that the two princes would blatantly fight over each other in front of the emperor.

The fifth prince is the legitimate son, and the emperor and queen have always been affectionate. In terms of power and favor, he has a better chance of winning.

However, the emperor would not force the marriage without considering Lin Qingyao's own thoughts. In this case, the fourth prince had an advantage. After all, everyone knew Lin Qingyao's feelings for the fourth prince.

Everyone else present was just watching the excitement, curious as to who would end up with Lin Qingyao's "fat" piece of meat.

After hearing what the two of them said, Xiao Chenyu frowned slightly.

"You are really posing a difficult problem for my father. I really don't know who to help. Lin Aiqing, you have really raised a good daughter. Both of my sons are fascinated by her. I would not marry anyone but her." ah."

Lin Yanzhe hurriedly stood up and saluted, "I am scared, please forgive me."

Xiao Chenyu smiled and shook his head, "I am praising Lin Aiqing for being a good teacher and raising such an outstanding daughter. I don't mean to blame you. Sit down quickly."

Lin Yanzhe was a little unsure about what the emperor meant at this moment, so he could only do as he said first.

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty."

Zhou Menglin guessed that Concubine Ji Shu had always been concerned about Lin Qingyao's family background, but she didn't expect that she would compete with her so blatantly for her daughter-in-law.

Fortunately, she was prepared and told the emperor in advance, and the emperor was on her side.

However, with so many people watching, the emperor couldn't obviously favor the mother and son. At this time, the importance of allies was reflected.

Zhou Menglin and Concubine Zhang exchanged glances, and Concubine Zhang immediately understood.

"Your Majesty, you also know that I have always liked beautiful things. You see how well Miss Lin and the fifth prince stand together. They are both talented and beautiful, and I find them pleasing to the eye."

Concubine Zhang was obviously speaking for Jamel Xiao, and Concubine Ji Shu was naturally very dissatisfied.

"My sister doesn't want to hear what the imperial concubine said. What does my sister mean? Miss Lin is a good match for the fifth prince, but not a good match for Yi'er? I would like to ask what's wrong with Yi'er?"

Concubine Zhang smiled contemptuously when she heard this, "I didn't say that. Why should my sister be in such a hurry to match her? But in comparison, it is true that the fifth prince and Miss Lin Er are more suitable for each other. Don't you think so, sister Hui Concubine?"

Concubine Chen Hui was happy to see Concubine Ji Shu deflated and said in support: "The concubine's elder sister is right, and my younger sister feels the same way."

Zhou Menglin smiled when she heard this. Concubine Ji Shu always made enemies everywhere and was looked down upon by no one. Naturally, no one was willing to speak for her at this time.

Xiao Chenyu said with a smile: "The two beloved concubines are right. Looking at it this way, they are really a perfect match. However, the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh. Since the two princes have this intention, it is really difficult for me to make a choice." How about this, I will give this right to the Lin family girl, and you can choose your husband yourself."

As soon as these words came out, the happiest person was Xiao Jingyi.

He has enough confidence that Lin Qingyao will definitely choose him and there will be no accidents.

Lin Qingrou, who had been worried about Xiao Jingyi just now, was relieved now. If Lin Qingyao made the choice herself, she would definitely choose Xiao Jingyi.

Lin Qingrou smiled proudly. It seemed that she was one step closer to the position of queen.

The people watching the excitement also felt the same way. Since the emperor gave Lin Qingyao the right to choose, there is no doubt that the final winner must be the fourth prince.

At this moment, everyone focused their attention on Lin Qingyao, waiting for her choice.
