The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

You know, they argued in the court for a long time today, wasn't it just for this job?

After all, everyone knew that this little thing would not cause Emperor Jingren to revoke the status of the crown prince.

The crown prince had just been appointed, and no one knew when Emperor Jingren's health would completely deteriorate. How could Emperor Jingren change his heir at this time?

Therefore, the purpose of the Ninth Prince and his men was just to take advantage of this incident to get the job of receiving the envoys.

Shen Qinglan spoke so powerfully at the beginning that they thought there was no hope for this matter. But unexpectedly, Shen Qinglan actually handed them a pillow personally?

The Ninth Prince frowned and looked at Shen Qinglan with a hint of suspicion. He really didn't understand what Shen Qinglan was planning.

However, Prime Minister Jiang immediately felt that there was something wrong with this matter and said:

"I'm afraid this matter is..."

Just as Jiang Xiangguo was about to refute, Shen Qinglan interrupted him and said with a smile:

"Receiving envoys from the four countries is a major event for our Great Yong, and it concerns the well-being of the people. I think both the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince are immature in this matter. Why not let Prime Minister Jiang assist them together?"

When Shen Qinglan said this, Lu Huaizhu had already understood what Shen Qinglan meant, and immediately said:

"I second your opinion. The Crown Prince is the future heir to the throne, so naturally he doesn't have to do everything himself. Knowing people and assigning them to the right positions is the most important thing."

Lu Jinghuai glanced at the Ninth Prince and Prime Minister Jiang, and nodded with a smile:

"Indeed, the Ninth Prince and Prime Minister Jiang are both capable ministers of Dayong. It is indeed the best thing for the two of them to assist the Crown Prince. Moreover, the Ninth Prince can assist the Crown Prince so wholeheartedly. With brothers working together and the monarch and ministers in harmony, there is no need to worry about Dayong's future."

Lu Huaizhu and Lu Jinghuai's words sounded nice, but to the Ninth Prince, they sounded particularly harsh!

Aren't the words these two people keep saying to make him recognize his own identity?

The prince is the king and he is the minister. No matter how hard he tries, in the future he will only be a minister assisting the prince.

And now that they are eager to get a piece of the pie, I will give the prince to you.

The Crown Prince sat on the seat, watching the Ninth Prince's face turn from blue to white, and seeing Prime Minister Jiang's gloomy face, a smile flashed in his eyes. He immediately stood up and bowed slightly to Emperor Jingren.

The boy's back was as straight as a pine tree, and although his face was immature, he looked quite dignified.

"Father, I am still young. If I can get the help of my ninth brother and Prime Minister Jiang, I believe everything will go smoothly. I beg for your approval."

Emperor Jingren's eyes flickered as he glanced at Shen Qinglan, who looked calm and composed with an unfathomable smile. He felt that the female duke in front of him was indeed unfathomable...

Just a few words turned the situation around.

It seemed as if Shen Qinglan and the others admitted defeat and shared the power with the Ninth Prince and his men, but in fact, it was a good thing.

The matter of receiving the envoys, whether it is entrusted to the Crown Prince alone or the Ninth Prince alone, will actually involve a lot of variables!

Emperor Jingren knew that no matter which of the two would be in charge of this matter, the other party would definitely find ways to trip them up.

However, Shen Qinglan directly tied the two parties together. If anything went wrong in the reception of the envoy, neither the Crown Prince nor the Ninth Prince would escape punishment.

Therefore, at this time, both parties have no choice but to behave themselves and not act recklessly.

Of course, Shen Qinglan is definitely not the kind of person who is really just seeking stability.

This move will not only prevent the Ninth Prince and his men from making any small moves easily, but will also let the people of the world know clearly who is the master and who is the minister.

Let all those who follow the Ninth Prince reconsider their decision.

The Ninth Prince now understood Shen Qinglan's intention and immediately said:

"Father, you can't do that..."

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Jingren glanced at him coldly and said:

"I think the proposal of the Duke of Zhenguo is very good. In this case, let the Crown Prince take the lead, and Old Nine and Prime Minister Jiang serve as assistants. You must know that this matter is an important matter for the country. Remember to do a good job for the Crown Prince to handle this matter properly and beautifully."

As soon as these words were spoken, it seemed as if the matter had already been confirmed, and he was unwilling to give the Ninth Prince and the others any chance to refute.

The Ninth Prince and Prime Minister Jiang looked unhappy, but they did not dare to disobey anymore. They could only hold their anger and agree obediently.

After the court was adjourned, the prince hurriedly ran to Shen Qinglan and called out to her.

Shen Qinglan turned around and saw the prince's face full of admiration. He bowed solemnly to Shen Qinglan and said:

"Thank you so much for what happened today."

Shen Qinglan smiled and returned the greeting, saying helplessly: "Your Highness, there is no need to be polite. Today's incident was all an unprovoked disaster for the Crown Prince. Besides, Yan Ge'er and the others are on good terms with the Crown Prince, so it's just a piece of cake for them to do so now."

When the prince heard the names of Yan Ge'er and the others, a trace of longing flashed in his eyes and he couldn't help but sigh.

Since he was named the Crown Prince, although Yan Ge'er and others were able to enter the palace to study with him occasionally, it was not as casual as before.

After Yan Ge'er and his companions came several times, they could not stand the oppression in the palace anymore, so they rarely went to the palace. They just often wrote letters and asked Lu Huaizhu to bring them to him.

The prince naturally missed them, but now he had to follow Emperor Jingren every day to learn how to handle government affairs, so he had no time to look for them.

After all, everyone knew that Emperor Jingren's body was at the end of its strength and could die at any time...

So for the prince, time is also very precious.

But now, hearing Shen Qinglan's words, the prince felt warm in his heart again.

After all, Huo Junyan and the others were still thinking about him, which made the smile on the prince's face deepen.

After the prince talked to Shen Qinglan for a few more words, he said goodbye and prepared to leave.

But Shen Qinglan seemed to have thought of a simplified version and called out to the prince.

The prince looked back at Shen Qinglan curiously. Shen Qinglan smiled and slowly said:

"Prince, please take good care of yourself. Yan Ge'er and the others are not afraid of the rules of the palace. They are also working hard in the palace. In the future, they will surely become the Crown Prince's right-hand men, so that the Crown Prince will no longer have to be coerced like he is today."

Upon hearing this, the prince was so shocked that he could not speak for a long time!

So, in places where he can't see, Huo Junyan and the others are also working hard?

One day, will they appear before him openly and work together with him to make this world peaceful and prosperous?

Thinking of this, the prince's eyes became moist. He didn't say much, but just bowed to Shen Qinglan again, then turned around and left solemnly.

Shen Qinglan looked at the prince's determined back and a smile appeared in her eyes.

Huo Zhanting, who was standing next to him, saw this, walked up to Shen Qinglan, and said with a smile:

"Are you booking the glory of the Zhan Palace for the next hundred years?"

Shen Qinglan just smiled and said nothing, without any explanation.

Just as she had said when she chose the prince, no friendship can compare to the friendship of youth.

And the friendship between young people will become deeper as they grow together.

Because everyone is working towards the same direction, this kind of affection is always incomparable to ordinary people.

What Shen Qinglan wanted was to make their relationship more deeply bound.

Of course, what she said was not random talk. She was just telling the prince what the little ones didn't say.

When Shen Qinglan turned around and left the hall with Huo Zhanting and others, she saw the Ninth Prince and Prime Minister Jiang looking at her outside the hall.

The Ninth Prince had a gloomy look on his face, while Prime Minister Jiang had a complicated expression.

"Princess Zhan, you are really calculating." The Ninth Prince stopped Shen Qinglan and said sarcastically with a cold face.
