The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

Li Yueran's eyes lit up after hearing this.

It's not that she wouldn't think so, but she was bound by the traditional virtue of putting family first.

She needs someone to help her break the shackles that go against her true heart.

"Sister, your words have awakened me from my dream.

All this time, I have not dared to face my inner thoughts, and have always been bound by those so-called rules."

Li Yueran held Xu Keke's hand tightly, her eyes full of gratitude and joy.

Xu Ke encouraged with a smile.

"Sister Ran, you are already smart. When we met, we were both unmarried girls.

You were so bold and daring back then, why do you become so hesitant after getting married?

We women get married to strive for true happiness, not to compromise ourselves for the sake of other people's opinions.

As long as you follow your heart, you will definitely live a more comfortable and happy life.

Besides, you are about to add a new child to the Ningguo Mansion, so you will always have a say in the mansion."

Li Yueran nodded heavily.

"But sister, tonight I will tell Xuzhi my true thoughts.

If he supports it, I will go talk to the concubine. If I can solve it with money, that would be great."

Xu Keke burst out laughing. There was a saying in his previous life: anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.

But this was not the case in this era. It was an era where imperial power was supreme.

It is better to have power than to have money.

"By the way, Sister Ran, I heard from the prince that he plans to let Prince Ning serve as an imperial envoy to inspect the local area.

I was thinking that you were about to give birth, so I declined the official position on your behalf.

But the prince said, if it was really because of my words that he changed, Prince Ning might not be grateful.

Li Yueran was in a good mood at the moment and held Xu Keke's hand and said.

“But sister, the issue of having a concubine at home has not been resolved yet, it would be good if Xuzhi could go out and do some work.

Besides, being an imperial envoy is a lucrative job, one that many people would beg for.

It's a good thing that the prince values Xuzhi so much. When I give birth, the old duke and mother-in-law are in the mansion, plus the midwife and servants to take care of me, so it won't be a problem."

Xu Ke nodded.

"Since my sister thinks so clearly, I feel relieved.

But this trip will take at least a few months, so you should be mentally prepared."

The smile on Li Yueran's face became even brighter. She would tell her husband about this later, and she believed that her husband and the two elders in the family would also be happy.

"But don't worry, sister. I know my limits. I will certainly support Xuzhi if he has such an opportunity. I only hope that he can do a good job in this mission and live up to the prince's trust."

The two talked for a while, and then Li Yueran stood up and said goodbye with satisfaction.

Xu Ke could walk her to the door.

Prince Ning came out of the carriage of the Duke of Ning's Mansion to pick up Li Yueran. When he saw Xu Keke, he stepped forward and saluted.

"Meet Princess Sheng."

Xu Ke nodded slightly.

"Prince Ning is so polite. Please take Sister Ran back quickly. She is pregnant. Don't let her get tired."

Prince Ning responded.

"Thank you for your concern, Princess Sheng. We will return home now."

As he spoke, he carefully helped Li Yueran into the carriage and followed behind.

The carriage slowly drove away. Xu Keke watched them go away and turned back to the club.

In the carriage, Prince Ning saw Li Yueran's happy face and asked with a smile.

"Ran'er is so happy to see his friend, but what good news is there in Prince Sheng's Mansion?"

Li Yueran smiled and told the Regent that he wanted to be the imperial envoy.

Prince Ning was startled at first, but then a look of joy appeared on his face.

"This is indeed a rare opportunity, and I am deeply grateful for your support."

Li Yueran leaned in his arms and spoke softly.

"My husband, you must seize this opportunity and strive for a good future for our child. Perhaps our child will even inherit the title in the future."

Prince Ning held her gently in his arms, feeling the occasional fetal movements in Li Yueran's belly with his big hands, and felt extremely happy in his heart.

Today he stood in front of the princess's former residence again.

Everything in the past was too painful to recall, and Princess Jianning's face had long been blurred in his mind.

Now he is holding his wife, who is about to give birth to his child.

He has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Ningguo Mansion and support the future for his parents, wife and children.

Li Yueran raised her head slightly and looked at him.

"My dear husband, are you pleased with the concubine in the mansion?"

Ning Xuzhi hugged Li Yueran tighter.

"She and I are just a master-servant relationship, and it was my mother who brought us together.

Perhaps she was also unwilling! As for the love between men and women, there is no way to talk about it. "

Li Yueran continued.

"In that case, my husband, are you willing to let her go? If you can help her find her family, give her some money, and set her free, that would be a way out for her.

I can finally have peace of mind. I'm pregnant now, and I really don't want to worry about this matter. I just want to give birth to the child safely."

Prince Ning gently stroked her hair.

"It's all up to you. As long as you feel comfortable, anything is fine."

......

Xu Ke returned to the chess and card room, and found that Dingdang had spit out all the chips she had obtained earlier.

When Dingdang saw her young lady coming in, she quickly stood up and said.

"Miss, this servant is not very good at this. I have no chips left. You come!"

"It's okay, it's okay, just look at me."

Xu Ke didn't care and sat on the chair and continued to shuffle cards with them.

"Princess Fu, are you so free these days? You come here to play cards every day?"

Princess Fu waved her hand.

"Playing mahjong has its benefits. It helps you focus and not think about the bad things that are going on."

Xu Ke wanted to ask more, but considering that there were two other noble ladies here, he stopped talking.

......

In the palace.

Chu Musheng was listening to Eunuch Pan's report.

"Your Highness, this time we sent a man and a woman. The man claims to be from the afterlife and is a mathematics professor.

He said he could impart advanced mathematical concepts and teaching methods to students.

Cultivate more talents with mathematical thinking and promote academic progress."

Chu Musheng looked at the transcript presented by Eunuch Pan and nodded.

"So, this is a talented person. Let's send him to the Imperial College and assign someone to protect him.

Let my father-in-law, the Imperial College's chief academician, test him and see if he's really capable. What about that girl?"

Eunuch Pan stroked his whisk and answered respectfully.

"That woman claimed to be some big boss from the demon world. She had linked herself to a strategy system and was looking for someone to help her."

Chu Mucheng burst out laughing, it was really varied.

"What abilities does she have, and who does she want to capture?"

"The woman said there's a redemption mall in her system space, and as long as you successfully complete the strategy, you can earn points.

With points, she can buy Ice Skin and Jade Bone Pills, Charm Boosting Pills, Love at First Sight Pills, etc.

As for who she wants to capture, she said she wants to capture the male protagonist of this dimension."

Hey, this is new.

Chu Musheng became a little interested.

"Who is the male protagonist she is talking about?"

"Your Highness, she said it was Li Yueze, the son of Prime Minister Li."

Chu Musheng......

Or, let her attack?
