"Do you really feel happy?" Prince Jin was a little unsatisfied but was afraid of being seen by his son...

"Yeah, I'm really happy! Will we always be so happy in the future?" Will happiness really favor me for the rest of my life? Xia Mu was a little too worried.

"Yes, we have suffered a lot. I went to war right after we got married, and you left as soon as I came back. When we met again, you had been alone with your son for five years. Isn't this enough? I will definitely stay by your side!" The King of Jin rubbed his cheek against Xia Mu's forehead...

"Mom and Dad, are you here to play with me or are you playing by yourselves?" Yi Lei's scream suddenly appeared above their heads.

Uh, I wonder when Prince Jin and Xia Mu are both lying on the grass? This is really embarrassing...

The two of them sat up immediately, "Son, weren't you playing in the sand?" Embarrassed Xia Mu didn't know what to say to his son.

"I've been playing with sand for a long time. Do you want me to continue?" Yi Lei squinted at his mother.

"Boy, what's with that look? Come here, give me a hug!" King Jin took his son's hand and brought him into his arms.

"That's good enough! You always hug your mom and forget about me!" Yi Lei said unwillingly.

"How could I forget you?" Prince Jin pinched his son's face.

"Are you jealous?" Xia Mu stared at Yi Lei.

"I didn't!" Yi Lei denied it.

"Why are you angry for no reason?"

"I am not angry!"

"If you're not angry, just smile. Smile!" Xia Mu tickled Yi Lei.

"Haha... I'm not angry, hahahaha I'm really not angry!" Yi Lei was held in King Jin's arms with nowhere to hide.

King Jin was very satisfied watching his wife and children laughing and playing...

In the residence of Minister Hu——

"Master, all the officials who should be notified have been notified. The ministers will bring this up at the court tomorrow morning!" The housekeeper reported to Minister Hu.

"Well... now the Crown Princess has been deposed for more than a year, and the Crown Prince has yet to appoint a Crown Princess. I wonder what he is thinking. Concubine Xue is a mother with a son, so she should take this opportunity to become the Crown Princess. It will be easier for him to help the exiled grandson of the Emperor Yun ascend to the throne in the future!"

"Tomorrow, the ministers will submit a memorial to the emperor, which can be regarded as putting pressure on the prince. If the prince is willing to make the concubine the crown princess, that would be the best. But if he has other ideas..."

"Let's do this first! Except for the deposed Crown Princess, all the concubines in the East Palace who gave birth gave birth to princesses. Yan Lin, who occasionally serves the emperor in the bedchamber, is just a concubine and has no children. At the beginning, I was still worried that she would become the Crown Princess, but after several years, she has always been a concubine and her status has not been promoted. Although I don't know the reason, Xue'er still has a better chance of becoming the Crown Princess!" Xue'er is the nickname of the Crown Prince's concubine!

"Yes, master is right!" The butler bowed respectfully.

On the second day of the court -

A minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"Please speak, my dear minister!" said the emperor.

"The position of the Crown Princess has been vacant for a long time. For the sake of the country's foundation, it is better to appoint a Crown Princess as soon as possible!" The minister directly stated the content of his memorial, which was only a simple sentence!

But just this one sentence made the prince shoot him with hateful eyes several times. "I haven't found true love yet, why should I appoint a princess? It's too much trouble!" The prince muttered to himself.

"Your Majesty, the position of the Eastern Palace is vacant and there is no one in charge. It is time to appoint a Crown Princess!" said a minister.

"The Crown Prince should have no worries so that he can better serve the country." Another minister also stood up.

"Concubine Xue of the Eastern Palace is virtuous and obedient, dignified and elegant, with both good character and appearance. She also gives birth to the exiled little grandson of the Emperor. She is truly the best candidate for the Crown Princess!" A minister directly stated the candidate!

This is your real purpose, right? The prince glanced at Minister Hu, who bowed respectfully to him.

"Hmph!" the prince said disdainfully.

The emperor certainly hoped that the position of the crown princess would be settled, but when the crown prince dismissed the concubines in the East Palace, he said that the remaining concubines had given birth. If it weren't for the sake of the children, he would have wanted to dismiss these people as well. The implication was that the crown prince was not satisfied with these concubines! Of course, the emperor wanted the crown prince to choose a woman he liked as the crown princess, so...

"What you said is very true, but I think the East Palace is too empty. Why not let the Crown Prince choose his favorite concubine to be the Crown Princess? Then how about the selection? If the Crown Prince still cannot choose a Crown Princess from the selection, how about the Concubine Xue?"

Since Concubine Xue is not the one the Crown Prince likes, the Emperor's words mean that he has already eliminated Concubine Xue, and at the same time he can hold another beauty contest to fill the Eastern Palace!

After hearing what the emperor said, the ministers were naturally speechless, and Minister Hu was so angry that he couldn't say a word. The emperor's meaning was very clear, his daughter was not favored! And if there was another selection, if the prince really chose the princess, it would be even more difficult for Fu Yun to ascend to the throne!

The prince was sweating! The emperor seemed to be helping him, but in fact, he was also setting a trap for him, a selection of women. If he didn't agree, he could only choose one from the women in the East Palace. Then the selection of women was naturally better than choosing one from the East Palace! The prince was really not interested in those women! Moreover, each of them had a strong desire for power. If they became the crown princess, wouldn't it be a mess?

"What do you have to say, Prince?" the emperor asked the prince.

"It's all up to your father!" What else can I say?

"Well, let's do it!" The emperor was very satisfied with the prince's answer.

The King of Qin and the King of Yan looked at each other. Alas! The poor prince had to face the selection again!

Then the selection of the crown prince’s consort began in full swing, and the efficiency was unmatched in previous years. It seemed that the emperor was anxious for the crown prince to quickly decide on a crown princess, which was an important factor in determining the stability of the country’s foundation in a feudal society...!!

Bai Lan'er, who was finally no longer at the mercy of others, found herself hopelessly in love with the King of Qin. This throbbing sensation arose from the beginning, but the King of Qin was just one of her tasks at the time, so she didn't think much about it. It was only after some changes that she saw her heart clearly...

Was he overestimating his own abilities? He was the prince of the Lufeng Dynasty, the Prince of Qin, and apart from being a killer, how could a commoner be worthy of him?

If it weren't for Xia Mu, Bai Lan'er would never have dared to think that one day she would be able to enter the Qin Palace. Although she has not had any status so far, but... status is not important. What is important is that she can see her lover every day...
