After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

"You, just focus on state affairs. You don't need to worry about me. By the way, how is the Crown Prince? I heard that the Eastern Palace is under martial law."

There was genuine worry on the Empress Dowager's face.

"The child is in poor health. He has become even weaker after being poisoned last time." The emperor sighed.

Prince Ning's heart skipped a beat as he brought up the last poisoning incident. What did the emperor mean by this?

"The prince is a bit weak and has suffered a lot these past few years. I wonder if the child's fate is flawed? Otherwise, we should arrange a marriage for him to bring good luck. Who knows, maybe the prince will get better."

The Queen Mother acted as if she hadn't heard of the poisoning.

The emperor frowned slightly and said, "The prince is old enough, but he has strong ideas. Well, let's wait until he is well enough."

Last time, the Queen Mother had considered arranging the Crown Prince's marriage, but the Crown Prince overturned the table. Unexpectedly, she brought it up again this time.

"The Emperor shouldn't spoil his children too much. Since ancient times, marriage has always been decided by parents. If the Emperor chooses a blessed Crown Princess, it will also bring more blessings to the Eastern Palace."

The Queen Mother rarely scolded.

The emperor was silent for a while, and the Cining Palace fell silent.

After a long while, Prince Ning tried to smooth things over: "Mother, if you are anxious to have a great-grandson, why not wait until Yao'er's child is born? I will bring him into the palace and show him to you."

The Queen Mother sighed and softened her tone.

"Your Majesty, I know you want to make amends with the Crown Prince, but nothing is more important than state affairs. He is the Crown Prince, and he should have an heir sooner rather than later, so that there will be someone to carry on the throne."

The prince is old enough and needs a successor to secure his position.

The emperor nodded and said, "I understand your advice, but there is no rush. We must choose a woman that the prince likes."

He really wanted to see the prince get married and have children, but the prince's current situation was almost precarious.

How can he get married? The process of getting married is too complicated, and the prince is afraid that he can't handle it.

Even after talking so much, the emperor still refused to give in, and the empress dowager did not force it.

The Emperor and Prince Ning had lunch with the Empress Dowager, and they were all quite happy.

In the afternoon, the Queen Mother advised the Emperor to choose a princess for the Crown Prince so that the news that the Crown Prince would leave a queen would spread.

Many people sighed that the empress dowager still treated the emperor as her own son as always.

She always considered the emperor's future, even the prince's heirs.

If the crown prince dies of a serious illness and leaves behind an offspring, the crown prince can also succeed to the throne.

The Queen Mother is indeed selfless in such a major matter, which is admirable.

With the Queen Mother acting like this, Prince Ning, who was taught strictly by the Queen Mother, would certainly not have any other thoughts.

Fang Nanzhi was at the dinner table, and after hearing what his second uncle said about this, he asked a pointed question.

"News from the palace spreads so quickly? This Cining Palace is like a sieve."

"Could it be possible that what happened in our family could be spread out?"

Qian Fengping filled a bowl of soup and placed it in front of her daughter.

"Don't worry, the servants in the mansion have all been scolded, and they won't say anything nonsense."

Qin Yan smiled and said, "It's just that someone wants to spread this news so that everyone can know about it."

Fang Yin glanced at him and felt that his nephew was indeed smart.

Fang Tong had been working in the fields for a day and was so hungry that he had no time to talk and ate voraciously.

"Why does it seem like a show?" Fang Nanzhi murmured.

It was as if he needed to show that the empress dowager doted on the emperor and cared about the prince.

"It's like this in the royal family," Fang Yin concluded.

The Empress Dowager’s love for the Emperor should be publicized, and the Emperor’s filial piety to the Empress Dowager should also be publicized.

"Zhizhi, you're reading in the study every day. Why don't you go to study with the teacher?"

Fang Tong swallowed a mouthful of steamed bun with difficulty. Now that there was food in his stomach, he could finally speak.

"Well, I'll go after a while." Fang Nanzhi sighed. She wouldn't feel at ease unless she saved the prince's life.

Qin Yan glanced at her and asked, "Do you need my help?"

Although Zhizhi never said it, they are a system. He can know what Zhizhi buys or browses on the system.

So he already vaguely knew that the prince was poisoned.

"Okay, brother." Fang Nanzhi knew that she couldn't hide it from him, so she simply agreed.

These days, she has been busy alone and under too much pressure, so her hair is falling out. Anmei even bought her anti-hair loss shampoo.

Wow, she is only in her teens, she can’t be bald.

That night, the brother and sister went into the study together, and Fang Nanzhi told her brother about the progress of the past few days.

Somehow, after she finished speaking, she felt relieved all over. Finally, she was not the only one carrying this burden.

"In other words, the most promising way to solve the problem once and for all is the Yuanti Pill? During this period of time, you've earned 10 million points through speculation, and now you're still short of 70 million?"

Qin Yan touched his chin and thought.

Fang Nanzhi nodded: "But the system warned me that being a time and space middleman is very risky. If I continue, some planes will be closed to me."

[A large amount of space-time transactions will cause a flood of materials across different planes and alter living conditions. This is a forced transformation of the planes themselves and is very detrimental to their development.]

[Each plane must have its own laws of development and move forward on its own. Malicious human interference and sabotage violate the laws of plane transactions.]

The system rarely takes the initiative to explain.

Both the brother and sister understood. They had learned stories such as "Buying a Deer to Control Chu" and "The Hengshan Plan", and knew that problems in business could also lead to the destruction of a country.

"The way to earn points now is, first, to collect rare flowers and plants and trade them to the system. Second, I want to pass the imperial examination."

Qin Yan analyzed.

The two siblings had communicated with each other and knew that Fang Nanzhi hoped that her brother would become a successful person, and Qin Yan had the mission of helping his sister become a celebrity.

Becoming a celebrity is not something that can be achieved overnight; it takes time and reputation to build up.

"Brother, aren't you planning to take a two-year break before taking the exam?"

Fang Nanzhi knew that her brother had studied for many years and was very talented, but he still had some flaws.

In the past, their family was a farmer, and the things they had access to were limited, and they were far behind in terms of government affairs and knowledge.

Most of the students in the Imperial College are children of wealthy families, and their collection of books is the largest in the world. It would be best for Qin Yan to study there for two years before taking the exam.

"That's fine. After I pass the exam, I'll join the government later."

Qin Yan was confident.

But Fang Nanzhi knew that it was different.

If my brother takes the exam later, not only will he get a better ranking, but he can also build up his network in the Imperial College.

Now that he has passed the exam but does not enter the officialdom, it will inevitably give people the impression that he is arrogant because of his talent.

There is another possibility that if you do not enter the officialdom in time, you may be forgotten by your superiors.

Chen Haokun had been in the Hanlin Academy for many years, but was forgotten by the emperor simply because he had no achievements.

"No, no, brother, I can't sacrifice your career. Besides, the imperial examination will be held next year, and I'm afraid the prince can't wait."

Fang Nanzhi stopped him.

Just one sentence let Qin Yan know how critical the prince's condition was.

His expression became more serious. "If buying products from other planes and selling them disrupts the plane, why not try establishing a trading market in our world?"
