Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

The Qin family's efforts to pave the way for Lu Lingzhu are still continuing.

Apart from music, chess, calligraphy and painting, it soon spread to political strategy and governing the country.

When the South City was hit by a flood, Princess Lingzhu took the lead and donated money and manpower to lead people in flood control.

Bandits were rampant in the suburbs of Beijing. Princess Lingzhu, at the young age of twelve, led three thousand imperial guards out of the city to suppress the bandits, and finally won a great victory.

His ability to lead troops in battle is no less than that of King Heng back then.

When the news spread, everyone was surprised that Princess Lingzhu had become wise overnight.

Only Huai'an was very angry.

"Who the hell is Lu Lingzhu! How can she compare with my father!

"All of my father's achievements were made with his sword and knife. As for Lu Lingzhu, she can't do anything and is not worthy of being compared with my father."

Dan Gui and Ling Yin nodded in unison, "Yes, Princess Ling Zhu can never compare to our prince."

Even Danqiu was rarely angry, "Princess Lingzhu, what exactly is she going to do this time?"

Only Yunniang calmly reminded Meng Yunshang, "Princess, the Qin family may have another trick up their sleeves this time. We must prepare for it in advance."

"I've probably guessed what they're going to do," Meng Yunshang said calmly.

"Dan Mo is going to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Please ask Big Brother to come over. I have something important to discuss with him."

"Okay, Princess."

Dan Mo quickly invited Meng Jinyou over.

The brother and sister chatted for a long time in the study.

Just as Meng Yunshang had expected, voices soon emerged in the court asking Emperor Yuan Qing to make Lu Lingzhu the crown princess.

First it was the Luo family, then the Huang family.

Finally, the Qin family father and son came out in person to ask for permission.

The reason they gave was that the position of crown prince had been vacant for too long, which was not conducive to the stability of the country.

Emperor Yuan Qing laughed when he heard this. "The Yuan Dynasty has been established for more than a hundred years. When has there ever been a tradition of women becoming emperors?"

"Just because there wasn't one before doesn't mean there won't be one now or in the future, Your Majesty."

"Although Princess Lingzhu is a girl, she has the ambition of a man. It is what everyone wants to make her the crown princess!"

"What do people want?"

Emperor Yuan Qing looked at the people standing below with cold eyes, as if he had heard some huge joke.

"Who else among you thinks that making Lu Lingzhu the crown princess is what the people want? Stand up and let me take a good look."

Those who knew Emperor Yuan Qing well knew that he was obviously angry.

But even so, several ministers stood up one after another.

They spoke in unison to Emperor Yuan Qing, "We sincerely ask His Majesty to make Princess Lingzhu the Crown Princess."

Emperor Yuan Qing was so angry that he slammed the table and shouted, "How dare you!"

The ministers who stepped out of the line immediately knelt down and apologized, but they still did not forget to press on.

Emperor Yuan Qing felt as if he was being roasted over a fire; the atmosphere was cold and tense.

At this time, Meng Jinyou stepped out and bowed to Emperor Yuan Qing, "Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate."

Lu Hetai followed closely behind, "Your Majesty, please allow me to report that in our Yuan Dynasty, men have always been respected, so the crown prince should naturally be a prince."

But this statement quickly attracted rebuttals from others, "But is there any prince in the harem who is qualified to be the crown prince?"

"That's right. Lord Lu is so anxious. Could it be that he wants to pave the way for the baby in Concubine Xian's belly?"

"you!"

Lu Hetai was not good at speaking, and his daughter's pregnancy was difficult, so he was afraid that he would cause trouble for her if he acted impulsively.

Therefore, after being questioned like this, I was speechless.

Seeing this, the people from the Luo and Huang families suddenly felt more confident.

The muttered words became more and more unpleasant to the ear.

"You two!" Meng Jinyou interrupted their whispers and said, "The emperor is in his prime. Even if he doesn't have a prince now, it doesn't mean he won't have one in the future."

"The rules and traditions of the Yuan Dynasty that have existed for more than a hundred years cannot be destroyed by one person."

"Besides, whether Princess Lingzhu is really powerful or not still needs to go through many tests. How can it be judged by a few idle words from you guys?"

"Minister Meng is absolutely right," Emperor Yuan Tai felt relieved.

Facing the determined gazes of the Qin family father and son, he raised his voice and ordered Xiao Jingzi, "Go, invite Princess Lingzhu here. I want to test her in person."

"Yes," Kyoko left swiftly.

Lu Lingzhu was quickly invited in. When she saw the civil and military officials standing in the hall, her legs subconsciously went weak.

When she wanted to go to Emperor Yuan Qing to seek help, she heard Father Qin bow to her, "Princess, the emperor and the ministers want to see your true ability."

Lu Lingzhu's face turned pale.

She didn't know what this so-called real skill was, she only knew that she was very scared at the moment.

"Father..." She looked at Emperor Yuan Qing eagerly, hoping that he could help her out.

But after Emperor Yuan Qing knew what Concubine Li and the Qin family were thinking, there was no way he could treat her as an ordinary, harmless daughter anymore.

He asked Lu Lingzhu calmly, "Let me ask you, what is an emperor and what is a commoner?"

Lu Lingzhu was confused by the question.

She didn't expect Emperor Yuan Qing to suddenly examine her, and she didn't know how to answer this question.

Before, her mother and grandfather had someone give her cram lessons, all of which were taught how to be a qualified crown prince.

But she couldn't understand most of the content.

In order not to disappoint her mother and granduncle, she could only pretend to understand.

At this moment, even if she searched through everything she had learned in her mind, she still couldn't come up with a suitable answer.

"No way?"

Seeing that she had been silent for a long time, Emperor Yuan Qing asked again, "South City was hit by floods, and you led people to deal with the floods and provide disaster relief. I have never had time to listen to your detailed account of the process. Why not tell us about it now, in front of everyone?"

"Your son, your son has asked people to prepare a lot of sandbags, and then, and then..."

"Then what?"

"Block the flood mouth, the flood will recede and the people will be safe."

"But the memorial that the Nancheng County Magistrate wrote to me said that the flood in Nancheng should be drained rather than blocked. The flood was able to recede in time because they organized the local people to dig canals to drain the water and release the flood, so that the people were safe."

"Lu Lingzhu, tell me, between you and the Nancheng County Magistrate, who should I trust more?"

Lu Lingzhu took two steps back guiltily, "I, your son..."

"Or in other words, what abilities do you have that would make me believe that you can be a good princess of the Yuan Dynasty?"

Lu Lingzhu started crying before she could say anything.

Emperor Yuan Qing pointed at her red eyes and asked the civil and military officials, "Everyone, please take a look and see if Lu Lingzhu is qualified to be the crown prince of my Great Yuan Dynasty?"

Everyone looked at each other.

The little girl in front of him didn't have the slightest aura of a crown prince.

If she is really made the crown princess, the Yuan Dynasty will be in danger!

Once this idea came into being, it could no longer be stopped.

Many ministers who had originally stood on the Qin family's side returned to their original positions.

They need to want to gain a future for themselves or their family, but the prerequisite is that the person has to be worthy of it.

The Princess Lingzhu in front of him is not even half as capable as the Emperor, so how could she take on such an important task?

Everyone shouted, "Your Majesty is wise!"

No one mentioned the matter of making Lu Lingzhu the crown princess again.

Emperor Yuan Qing signaled Xiao Jingzi to take the person back to the harem, and then looked down at Qin's father.

"It's a good thing that Qin Aiqing is concerned about my family affairs, but everything should be done in moderation."

This blatant blow made Qin's father's face change instantly.
