Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

On the day Xu Guixiang moved to the princess's mansion, Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo came to see her specially.

There were only about twenty people in the entire princess mansion, including Xu Guixiang and her husband, making the mansion seem empty and lifeless.

"Guixiang, there are still not enough people serving you here. I will send a few more people over tomorrow. It will be more lively with more people."

"There are only Guangping and I at home, so why do we need so many people to serve us?"

"There will be a dozen people in the kitchen, a dozen people to manage the garden, and a dozen people to manage the carriages and sedan chairs. A hundred or so people in total will be enough."

"Oh my god, so many people, how can I afford to support so many people?"

Looking at Xu Guixiang's surprised expression, Ye Jintang's lips curled up slightly. She had said too little.

"If you give birth to more children in the future, the princess's mansion will be lively."

Xu Guixiang lowered her head slightly to take a look at her bulging belly. She and Niu Guangping both liked children, and if possible she would like to have more.

Xu Guixiang and Ye Jintang were sitting together talking, and opposite them were Xiao Mo and Niu Guangping.

Xiao Mo, as a brother, didn't talk much to Xu Guixiang. Most of the time, he just watched her and Ye Jintang chatting.

When Niu Guangping saw that Xiao Mo didn't say anything, he was quite embarrassed and wanted to find a topic to talk about, but when he thought that Xiao Mo was the emperor and he was just an ordinary citizen, all the words that were about to come out of his mouth were scared back.

What common topics could he and the emperor have?

When Xu Guixiang was chatting with Ye Jintang, she would glance at Xiao Mo from time to time. To be honest, they were siblings after all, so they were somewhat similar.

It’s just that Xiao Mo looks more like Queen Jiang, while Xu Guixiang looks more like Emperor Jing.

"You can stay in the princess's mansion first. If you need anything, just ask the housekeeper in the mansion to go to the palace to get it. If anyone disrespects you, just tell Jintang, she will definitely help you vent your anger."

I don’t know how long Xiao Mo was silent before he finally spoke.

"it is good."

Xu Guixiang felt a little embarrassed and her cheeks flushed. Although they were siblings, they were still somewhat unfamiliar with each other.

Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo did not stay in the princess's mansion for long. They took a look, sat down, drank two cups of tea, and then returned to the palace.

In Wutong Palace, the ice jar was already being used as summer had just begun. Ye Jintang sat on the Luohan bed and ate chilled watermelon, feeling that such a day was not bad.

"Brother Xiao, shouldn't we also prepare a princess mansion for Nuannuan and An'an? The two children have grown up in the blink of an eye, so it would be a great idea to build a princess mansion in advance."

After being reminded by Ye Jintang, Xiao Mo realized that his three children had grown up and were no longer little babies.

"I was negligent. There is no rush to build the princess's mansion, but the titles of the two children should be decided earlier. I also want to give Pingping the title of crown prince earlier."

"Ah? Canonize Pingping as the crown prince? Isn't it too early? He is only a few years old, and we don't know if he is suitable to be the emperor. What if he is not good enough?"

"If it doesn't work, do you want to have more sons to train?"

Ye Jintang was stunned by Xiao Mo's question. They already had three children, and they had agreed to have only one more child and not have any more children in the future.

If Pingping is really not cut out to be an emperor, what else can she do?

No one knows whether the next child will be a boy or a girl.

"Jintang, it seems you still don't understand our Pingping. That kid has been calm and steady since he was young. I believe he can have no problem defending or attacking the city."

Xiao Mo lovingly helped Ye Jintang tuck his messy sideburns behind his ears and continued, "Pingping is a kind person, so I feel relieved to hand over Tian Qin Kingdom to him."

"Uh?"

Ye Jintang had a question mark in her mind, is this the Pingping she knew?

In her eyes, Pingping was very quiet, but also very naughty. He hardly used his intelligence on his homework. He had taken apart many of the mechanical toys that Xiao Mo found for him from outside.

Her eyes darkened when she looked at those small wooden parts, but this boy could learn quickly through repeated failures. Generally, it would take him three to five days to reassemble the mechanical toys that he had taken apart.

Even though Pingping doesn't like to hold a brush, he has very skillful hands.

Moreover, Pingping is also very talented in martial arts. He has to change his martial arts master almost every six months. It is not that he cannot learn, but that his martial arts master has basically nothing to teach him within half a year.

Ye Jintang treated all this as a game. She always felt that Pingping was smarter, but she didn't really pay much attention to studying.

But Xiao Mo saw that Pingping would be a good emperor.

Ye Jintang secretly complained in her heart that Xiao Mo was worthy of having grown up in the palace, and his perspective on things was very different from hers.

"Since you want to enthrone Pingping as the crown prince, why don't you hire two more capable teachers for him?"

"Naturally, what a crown prince and a prince need to learn are completely different."

"Well, then Pingping won't have to accompany me to study in the future? Won't it be too boring for him to study alone?"

"Of course he needs a study companion. When Pingping is a few years older, I will help him choose a real study companion instead of a playmate."

There are both boys and girls who go to class with Ping Ping An now. Rather than being study companions, they are more like playmates. They spend most of their time playing in the palace, and it is good enough if they can study for an hour.

The two of them couldn't stop talking about their children, and they didn't stop talking about their children until lunch time.

In the afternoon, Xiao Mo personally thought of titles for his two daughters.

An An is a relatively well-behaved girl, so Xiao Mo gave her the name Jin Ning. Nuan Nuan has been a lively and playful girl since she was born, so the name Ling Yun is the most suitable.

After thinking about the title, Xiao Mo talked about it with the court officials during the morning court session the next day.

Naturally, no one would say anything about the enthronement of the two princesses, but when it came to the enthronement of the crown prince, some ministers suggested that Pingping was too young and Xiao Mo was in his prime, so there was no need to enthrone a crown prince too early.

Xiao Mo was extremely calm.

"I only have one son now, the eldest prince. If I don't pass the throne to him, who else will I pass it to? As for whether there will be more princes born in the future, I don't have the energy to train a crown prince."

"So you have no choice. The position of crown prince can only belong to the eldest prince."

Xiao Mo was too lazy to waste time on this matter and made a decision directly.

"Besides, the eldest prince is extremely intelligent. I believe he will definitely become a good king."

Now that things have come to this, what else can the court officials say but to agree.

The enthronement of a crown prince was a major event concerning the country and the people, so the enthronement ceremony was naturally extremely grand.

In the hot summer, Pingping, wearing a heavy prince's ceremonial robe, started to participate in various activities before dawn and did not finish until the afternoon.

During this period, Pingping almost completed various ceremonies by himself. At the beginning, Ye Jintang was quite worried about him. After all, he was still a half-grown child. She was really afraid that he would not be able to withstand the complicated enthronement ceremony and something would go wrong.

Ye Jintang, who was a little worried, followed quietly in the dark almost the whole time. After all this time, even an adult like her couldn't stand the heat, but Pingping managed to hold on without changing her expression.

"It seems I underestimated Pingping."
