After rebirth, I became the favorite of my scumbag brother

With the decline of the Jingbei Marquisate, the empress had a hard time in the palace, and the old emperor was always ill and his condition kept recurring.

The third prince originally had a bright future, but now his mother's family has fallen into decline, and he has lost control of the Ministry of War. Not only has he lost Marquis Jingbei, his largest and most powerful supporter, so some fence-sitters have begun to hesitate.

The Third Prince has also been making a lot of moves during this period, but there is almost no room for maneuver in Xiao Qin's case. The most important thing is that all the generals in the court are watching.

Because the old emperor was ill, he missed court meetings from time to time. Since that day, His Majesty the Emperor has never been fully recovered and has been drinking bitter medicine every day.

The concubines in the harem who came to pay their respects were all turned away. The only people who could see the Emperor were court officials and his confidants.

The calls for appointing a crown prince were growing louder and louder in the court, and the emperor's desk was piled with memorials requesting the appointment of a crown prince, but His Majesty had not taken any action and had no intention of summoning the princes individually.

Seeing that the emperor's health was getting worse day by day, the court officials became more and more anxious. For a while, there was some chaos in the court. The head of the Imperial Medical Bureau who treated the emperor was also the emperor's confidant, so no one knew the emperor's health condition.

Li Ziyu was getting busier and busier. Many times he was not back when Su Lanxin went to bed, and he had already gone out when Su Lanxin woke up in the morning.

She didn't know what Li Ziyu was busy with, but the news from Yunxiao Pavilion gave her a general idea, which seemed to be quite alarming.

The fighting among the princes is getting quite intense now. The third prince has been greatly affected because of Xiao Qin's affair, but the eldest prince has been gradually valued and there are signs that he is surpassing the third prince.

Even Su Qingyun was a little unsure about the current situation. Now that the Third Prince had lost his biggest backer, Marquis Jingbei, although he still had a large number of supporters, the impact was huge.

After Su Qingyun finished his shift, he went directly to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. Li He and Li Yunyi met Su Qingyun in the outer study together. Su Qingyun was the father of the Su sisters.

Li Yunyi and a few others talked for a long time in the outer study room. Others didn't know what they talked about in the outer study room. Su Qingyun also went to see Su Lanyu.

He had dinner in Qinzhu Pavilion before returning. Before leaving, he gave Su Lanyu many instructions, which was enough to show how much Su Qingyun valued Su Lanyu.

It was also because of this that the people in the mansion looked at Su Lanxin with some deep meaning in their eyes, and even whispered to each other when they had nothing to do, saying that she was not valued by the Su family, and that the master of the Su family would not see Su Lanxin when he came to the mansion...

Su Lanxin didn't care about these things, but instead made Xinyue very angry.

When Su Lanxin went to the main courtyard to pay her respects, she was ridiculed. Xue Yunmei had already married Li Ziyao, but the wedding was not a big deal and was kept very low-key.

Xue Yunmei was very critical of Su Lanxin. She often laughed at Su Lanxin because of this matter, and Su Lanxin often retorted her. The two of them did not get along well.

Two months later, one day, Su Lanxin was having dinner when someone came to report that the Crown Prince's wife had started a rebellion. Su Lanxin paused for a moment before she remembered that Su Lanyu was now the Crown Prince's wife.

Su Lanxin paused and said, "I understand."

This made her a little dazed. At this time in her previous life, she was still foolishly trying to please her husband and parents-in-law, and being humble and submissive. In this life, she could be considered to have done a good thing.

At least this child was born in the Marquis's Mansion, born as the eldest son of the Crown Prince and the eldest grandson of the Marquis's Mansion. He does not need to live on the farm and can state his identity openly.

Now I don't have to live in fear. Although my husband's status is not prominent, he is also a very good person. The Bai family has a successor. It seems that everything is on the original track!

Seeing her distracted, Li Ziyu thought she was envious of Su Lanyu, so he thought for a moment and said, "My wife, we still have a long life ahead of us!"

Su Lanxin came back to her senses and looked at Li Ziyu, who took a few breaths to realize the meaning of his words. She was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Well, we still have a long time to live together, but my husband, we have been married longer than the prince and his friends, you won't blame me, right?"

Li Ziyu picked up a piece of boiled chicken for her with chopsticks and said, "The current situation is unclear, and our situation is also a bit delicate. It's not suitable for raising children. Besides, other people don't know what our situation is like, but you know it too, right?

What's more, I think it's good for the two of us. I haven't had enough of our two-person world yet! I don't want one more person to disturb our two-person world.

We can go take a look later and come back. We can't help anyway, so we'll just go through the motions and prepare a gift for the baby tomorrow."

Su Lanxin had originally planned to do so, but she didn't expect the two of them to have the same idea. "Okay! I'll listen to you!"

After finishing their dinner, they walked slowly towards Qinzhu Pavilion. After entering, they found that many people had arrived and were waiting in the yard. Xue Yunmei saw that the two were late.

He said in a very sarcastic tone: "Oh, big brother and big sister-in-law are so slow to come. Everyone else has been here for a long time, why are you just here? The birth of the prince's wife is a big deal!"

After they paid their respects to the elders and greeted everyone, they spoke, "I don't agree with what Fourth Sister-in-law said. The birth of the Crown Prince's wife is a big deal. We were having dinner when we heard the news. We came here after dinner. Fourth Sister-in-law came earlier, so I guess the dinner was served earlier than us!"

Xue Yunmei sneered, "Everyone's meal time is about the same. I was just worried about the Crown Prince's wife, so I came here before I finished my meal. I'm not as careless as my sister-in-law. She was still thinking about having a meal when her own sister was giving birth."

The implication was that she, a sister-in-law, could have come early, but Su Lanxin, the elder sister, came so late and was still in the mood to have dinner, not caring about her younger sister's life or death at all.

Su Lanxin smiled and said, "I am also worried about the Crown Prince's wife, but even if I come, I can't help much. I am neither a doctor nor a midwife.

I don’t know much about childbirth, so I can’t help even if I come. I can only come after dinner. Otherwise, everyone in the yard will be very busy, and I can’t cause trouble for everyone.”

Just as Xue Yunmei was about to say something, Madam Yao said irritably, "Come on, stop talking! Big Boss, Yunmei just said a few words to you, why are you waiting for so many words? Can't you be quiet? Can't you see how busy you are?"

Su Lanxin resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said, "Mom is right. I don't know how my second sister is doing!" She appropriately expressed her concern for her own sister.

Li Ziyu moved his position to block the wind for Su Lanxin, and at the same time reached out and held his hand. Xue Yunmei, who had been paying attention to the two of them, witnessed the whole process.

She suddenly felt very uncomfortable. Although they were both husbands, her husband was far inferior to this elder brother. If it weren't for this woman, she should be the one enjoying these things now.

The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she felt. The fire of jealousy burned in her heart. She glared at Su Lanxin fiercely. Su Lanxin looked at the unwillingness and jealousy in her eyes, and leaned weakly against Li Ziyu.

Li Ziyu stretched out his hands to protect her, interlocking their fingers. Su Lanxin smiled gently, but looked at Xue Yunmei provocatively. Xue Yunmei almost lost her mind at the look.

No one noticed the eye contact between the two except Li Ziyu. Most people's attention was on Su Lanyu in the room.

Li Ziyu noticed it. It was the first time he found that his wife was still so childish. Although childish, she was very cute and smart.

It seems that since the return of Brother Bai, she has relaxed a lot and is no longer as tense as before. Now she is protected by her family and is full of confidence!
