Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

Gu Xiling wiped Zhou Jin's hands with a handkerchief, and then handed him a piece of lotus cake. "My husband, your majesty is obviously diligent and skillful, but why do the princes repeatedly cause chaos? There are still many princes who are ready to make a move?"

Zhou Jin took a bite of the lotus cake. Although the cake was sweet, it was tasteless when he thought of the people who died tragically because of the rebellion of the vassal kings.

"Because Your Majesty has no offspring?"

Gu Xiling nodded, agreeing deeply, "It seems that the prince also knows the reason. If Your Majesty had ten or eight sons, the princes would never be so rampant."

"Your Majesty only has the Crown Prince now, and the Crown Prince's natural allies are the Queen and her family, the Li family. This is one of the reasons why Your Majesty did not punish Uncle Li severely when he did something foolish."

"Since ancient times, there have been countless cases of relatives of the emperor monopolizing power. There have also been cases of relatives of the emperor usurping the throne. Didn't the previous dynasty seize the throne from the son-in-law's family and ascend the throne wearing the yellow robe?"

"At his age, Uncle Li may just be greedy for money and have no intention of rebelling, but his sons may not be. Especially Li Mu, who is closest to the imperial power. If he has any intention of rebelling, it will be the strongest."

Zhou Jin sighed, "After the crown prince ascended the throne, the Li family will have everything they want, so why take the risk?"

"I can only say that the position is too confusing." Gu Xiling replied, "Whether it is the Ning Wang treasure or Pang Ming's death, it will make your majesty suspicious of Uncle Li and the Li family. The rift has already appeared."

"Once Li Guojiu realizes that His Majesty is suspicious of him, even if he doesn't want to rebel, he will be forced to rebel by the situation and the people around him. Of course, there are still variables in the middle."

Zhou Jin was startled, and did not speak immediately, but thought carefully, "Next, His Majesty will raise one or even several ministers to restrain Li Guojiu, so that he can't act recklessly like before."

Gu Xiling nodded and smiled, "As long as the crown prince is here, we can't touch Uncle Li. After all, we still rely on this dog, Uncle Li, to deal with the royal family."

"But this dog is too strong and too big, and may get out of control, so we need to put a rope around the dog's neck. Then your majesty can just hold these ropes and let the dog bite whoever he wants."

"On the contrary, the ministers in the court, because there is only one prince, most of them don't have to take sides, so it's easy. As long as they don't get involved with the princes, they are safe."

If there were many princes, now would be the stage of competing for the throne.

Only a few loyal ministers can choose not to take sides.

Anyone who has power must take sides.

The achievement of following a dragon will make you soar to the sky and everyone will envy you, but first you have to choose a real dragon.

If you choose a fake dragon or snake, you will be dismissed from office at best, or even killed along with your entire clan.

Zhou Jin raised his eyebrows and asked softly, "Father is one of the ropes?"

Gu Xiling nodded, "Father doesn't want to either, but Uncle Li is too powerful, and most people can't handle it. In addition, Uncle Li has dealt with us time and time again, and even this time he killed people to silence them, and he even linked it to our Changning Marquis Mansion, so we can't hide away!"

Zhou Jin hesitated, "If I hadn't reported Uncle Li at that time, perhaps there wouldn't be so many things."

Gu Xiling handed Zhou Jin another piece of lotus cake and said, "Even if you hadn't reported Uncle Li, our Changning Marquis' Mansion would have been involved in the Ning Wang incident."

"There are so many chess pieces in the court, but not many of them are useful. First of all, they must be loyal to His Majesty, and most importantly, they must be capable. Especially the matter of Prince Ning, which makes His Majesty feel that your father is more capable, so the prince does not need to blame himself."

Zhou Jin reached out to take the lotus cake that Gu Xiling handed over, and just as he was about to put it in his mouth, he put it on the table.

"Excessive appetite can lead to obesity."

Zhou Jin touched her belly inconspicuously and found a little more fat on it.

Gu Xiling saw Zhou Jin's actions, lowered her head and smiled, without exposing Zhou Jin's little thoughts, "If you don't eat, I will."

Seeing Gu Xiling's plump little mouth and the sweet taste of her food, Zhou Jin swallowed his saliva, and finally his appetite turned into admiring his lady's beauty.

Being stared at like this by Zhou Jin, Gu Xiling glared at Zhou Jin and said, "I won't let you eat even if you look at me!"

Zhou Jin's eyes drifted away. If he continued to look at the pretty lady, he would lose his composure. He muttered softly, "It's uncomfortable to only be able to look but not eat!"

Gu Xiling pretended not to hear, but her slightly red earlobes revealed her shyness.

Soon Gu Xiling felt the shadow on the ground becoming clearer and clearer, and suddenly looked up, "Prince, the sky has finally cleared up!"

Although the sun is setting now, the dry and sunny weather makes people more comfortable.

At this time, the cicadas in the trees chirped more and more frequently, and louder and louder.

Zhou Jin was overjoyed, "Laifu, ask someone to accompany me to the fields!"

Lai Fu looked worried, "Prince, although the weather is clear now, the road is still a bit slippery. What if you fall?"

Zhou Jin hesitated, but the anxiety in his eyes was evident.

Gu Xiling felt distressed when she saw this!

Her husband just wanted to go to the fields to check on the wheat and care about its growth. What's wrong with that?

This small request still needs to be met!

"Laifu, if the prince wants to go to the fields, you should find a way. If the road is slippery, take people to pad the road with slightly drier soil, or spread wheat straw and weeds on the road."

"The wheat is of great importance. The prince is anxious. If you take a look at it, you can eat half a bowl of rice more at night and sleep well. It's better than anything else!"

Zhou Jin was startled, looked at Gu Xiling and blinked.

For some reason, he actually felt the favor from Gu Xiling, and it was the kind of favor that made him "drowning".

Lai Fu was stunned. He had seen the old lady and the marquis' wife doting on the prince, but now, compared with the prince's wife, it was obvious that the prince's wife was better.

If you really have the conditions to love someone, then love them; if you don’t have the conditions, then create the conditions to love them!

"Yes!" Lai Fu agreed. The Crown Prince's wife had already shown him the method. If he didn't do it, the Crown Prince would definitely think he was not considerate.

After Lai Fu left in a hurry, Zhou Jin's affectionate eyes sparkled, "My wife is so good to me!"

Gu Xiling came close to Zhou Jin, her pretty face pressed against him, "I just said it casually, and you think it's okay? Then if I put in a lot of effort to be nice to you, can you still bear it?"

“Yes, yes, yes!” Zhou Jin pulled Gu Xiling over, held her in his arms, and buried his head in the sweet and soft scent that lingered in his dreams.

Seeing that the Crown Prince's wife and the Crown Prince had a good relationship, Xiulan couldn't help but smile, and she left with her maid.

After a while, Lai Fu finished everything and asked the strong servants to carry the bamboo sedan.

Zhou Jin sat on it, and when he saw Gu Xiling following, he angrily scolded Lai Fu, "Why didn't you prepare a bamboo sedan for the Crown Prince's wife?"

"This..." Lai Fu looked bitter, he couldn't remember it.

Gu Xiling chuckled. She didn't care about these details and didn't want to embarrass the servants. "My legs and feet are fine. I don't need a bamboo sedan chair. I have clogs. I'll walk slowly so that my shoes won't get dirty."

Lai Fu showed gratitude in his eyes, the Crown Prince’s wife is so nice!

Zhou Jin sat on the bamboo sedan chair, looking back from time to time.

Not only can we see Gu Xiling's sweet and charming smile facing the sunset, but also her interesting actions. She picked some dogtail grass from the roadside, weaved them into little dogs and rabbits, and enjoyed herself very much.
