Green tea was read, the villain's family begged me to be happy

"Why don't you take another look at the crown prince? The crown prince is the orthodox one, and he has a legitimate reason to do so." Jiang Chengli did not choose any of the previous princes, but mentioned the ignored crown prince.

Jiang Chengxiao couldn't help but frown, and immediately retorted: "Although the crown prince is the legitimate heir, he has always been weak and often missed the morning court due to illness. In addition, the previous queen died young, and her family was also dwindling, and could not provide any help at all. The crown prince was isolated and helpless, and the court mentioned several times to appoint another crown prince."

It's not that the Jiang family has a rebellious heart and refuses to support the prince, but this prince of the Eastern Palace has too little presence compared to several other famous princes. The biggest impression he gives people is that he is in poor health. It looks like he is destined to die young and will not live to see the moment of passing on the throne.

"The Emperor and Empress were a young couple, and they had a deep affection for each other. Although the late Empress died young, she died at the most loving moment. Without a strong natal family, it proves that there is no family background to hinder them. How powerful is the power behind the Imperial Concubine? Her family is called Xue Banchao. Although the Emperor does not say it, he may not be happy. He may still be annoyed."

“If the Sixth Prince is really allowed to ascend the throne, then is the throne given to the Sixth Prince or to the Xue family? Even though the Sixth Prince’s family is now prosperous, he will be the first to be kicked out.”

Jiang Chengli explained patiently, and the others were a little surprised when they heard this.

"The Sixth Prince is the first to be eliminated?" Marquis Zhongyi couldn't help but ask.

The Xue family behind the Imperial Concubine is extremely powerful, not because the Xue family likes to play power games, but because their family has produced many talented people for three consecutive generations, both civil and military. Duke Xue has been an examiner for several terms, and he himself likes to teach and educate people. He has students everywhere, and now they are all trusted ministers in the court.

This is why Xue Banchao came up with this idea. Although the emperor would certainly not like this kind of restriction, the Xue family is so powerful and deeply rooted that it is impossible for them to be the first to fall, right?

Jiang Chengli nodded: "Just wait and see, the Xue family doesn't have much time left."

"Can the prince's health be restored?" Marquis Zhongyi ignited many hopes.

Jiang Chengli shook his head again: "From what I know, he was never cured. He even got the edict of ascension to the throne several times, but died again."

During those hundreds of lifetimes, he tried countless times and secretly supported the crown prince and other princes to ascend the throne, and even succeeded a few times. But in the end, he always fell short of the final step, which made him even more devastated.

"Ah." Marquis Zhongyi sighed.

Jiang Chengxiao couldn't help but mutter, "Looking at it, no one is reliable. God wants to help someone, so no matter how hard others try, it's useless. It's all in vain to choose."

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere around him immediately became much more depressing. After all, it really was not exciting to do something that was doomed to fail.

"Tsk, what a promising future. You usually claim to be a man of integrity, but at the critical moment you start to hide your head like a turtle. Xing Xiaoya has really left a big psychological shadow on you, but no matter how powerful she is, she is not as powerful as the system said. It said that all the men in the Jiang family would become her slaves, but you have seen the facts. Such a big change, isn't it enough for you to give it a try?"

Cen Ying, who had not spoken much, spoke, frowning slightly with a somewhat dissatisfied expression on her face.

"Madam is right." Marquis Zhongyi immediately responded.

Cen Ying rolled her eyes at him and agreed quite quickly. Weren’t they both silent just now?

"Even if the situation has changed, we can't be careless. Xing Xiaoya is still very much favored by God. She has already entered the palace and will probably meet the third prince soon and fall in love with him. In order to grasp the situation, we must select a candidate as soon as possible and start planning." Cen Ying urged.

The four Jiang brothers looked at each other for a few seconds, discussed in a low voice, and finally chose the prince.

"The Crown Prince is recuperating in a hot spring resort outside Beijing. The fourth brother will go there first. If he can seize the opportunity, he can make friends with him. The second brother has an idle job, so he can go there for a while during his rest time. The eldest and third brothers don't need to contact the Crown Prince. The eldest brother should stay put for the time being and just take care of his own troops. As for the third brother, he should deal with the affairs of the palace first."

Soon, Marquis Zhongyi had arranged everything for everyone.

When talking about the difficulties the palace had faced Jiang Chengli, Jiang Chengli couldn't help but frown.

"I'm afraid something has changed in the palace. Such a difficult situation has never occurred before. I don't know if it's because of Xu Wanying's appearance that things have turned around, so God has given Xing Xiaoya more help." He expressed his concerns.

Cen Ying walked up and patted his shoulder: "As long as you don't become Xing Xiaoya's slave, we can always solve other difficulties together as a family."

Jiang Chengli nodded. He was always afraid that this situation, where he was not under Xing Xiaoya's control, was just a pipe dream. What if the men in the Jiang family all changed their personalities and became Xing Xiaoya's slaves again when they woke up tomorrow morning?

After the discussion that night, the entire Jiang family took action.

The men began to contact the prince's party in private and activated the spies previously placed in the harem.

Powerful families like theirs would also send people into the harem, but other families would send their daughters to be concubines and bribe the eunuchs and maids in the palace. The Jiang family did not want to send Jiang Jinyu in to suffer, so most of the spies in the palace were palace maids.

However, the Jiang family had no other thoughts before, and they placed spies just to be on the safe side, and basically no information was conveyed.

And now everyone has been mobilized to pass on a series of messages from Xing Xiaoya.

As for the women in the Jiang family, they also began to expand their social circles, except for Xu Wanying who was just a stay-at-home mom.

Ever since she learned about her ending from the system, she seemed to have completely lost interest in this era and didn't want to care about anything.

Even if the system tempted her with eating melons, she ignored it.

The system was obviously not convinced and began to provoke her frequently. In the past, it would never talk about palace gossip easily because it consumed a lot of energy, but recently it began to mention it frequently.

[Hahaha, host, your good days are coming to an end. Xiaoya is indeed involved with the third prince. They are attracted to each other and have already started exchanging love poems. It is just a matter of time before she becomes the prince's consort.]

[The third prince is indeed the destined male protagonist. Unlike the men of the Jiang family, he is steadfast and falls in love with Xiaoya at first sight. They are attracted to each other by chance and the plot will soon move forward. They will soon get married and the couple will join hands to kill...]

When the system said this, its tone was full of complacency, and it was obvious that it wanted to provoke Xu Wanying, but it did not receive any response.

Xu Wanying closed her eyes and leaned back in the recliner, as if she had fallen asleep.

[Hmph, host, I know you are pretending to be asleep because you don't want to hear this, right? But actually, running away is useless. After seeing their relationship, let's look at their careers. The Third Prince should have had a few adventures and recruited talented people. Xiaoya should also have opened various new stores. Although soaps and spices are everywhere in modern times, they were novelties in ancient times...]

The system was very dissatisfied with Xu Wanying's indifference, and even tried to stimulate her from multiple angles.

But its pride did not last long, as screams were heard.
