Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

He asked eagerly, "Grand Uncle, I heard you led your troops to Luyang City. Did you encounter any trouble?"

Li Wang spoke with compassion: "Xiao Ling, the Prince of Luyang has already committed suicide. He has paid the price!"

Xiao Ling nodded emphatically: "Thank you, Grand Uncle!"

Li Wang reached out and patted his head, encouraging him just like when he was a child: "You'll get better, be good and take your medicine and cooperate with the treatment!"

Xiao Ling grabbed his wrist and pleaded, "Grand Uncle, please have the Ministry of Rites prepare the abdication ceremony quickly. I want to give you the throne. Only in this way can I remove the huge weight from my heart!"

The Prince looked at him with complicated eyes: "A-Ling, are you really sure? Do you know that once you give up the throne, you can never get it back!"

Xiao Ling nodded emphatically: "I will never regret giving it to my great-uncle, I swear!"

After hesitating for a long time, Prince Li slowly nodded: "Alright, I will have the Ministry of Rites draft an auspicious date!"

Seeing that he had relented, Xiao Ling finally showed a relieved smile.

Prince Li still lives in the Prince Li's Mansion, but unlike when he left, the mansion has become bustling with activity.

Lin Su was still feeling unwell, so she called Lin Yiwan over to help with the socializing.

She spoke wearily, "Wanwan, I never imagined that your father would one day be emperor. I am somewhat terrified!"

Lin Yiwan comforted her, "Mother, don't be afraid. Father cherishes you and will definitely not let you be troubled by trivial matters in the harem. He will just promote a few capable female officials!"

Lin Su frowned and asked, "Wanwan, do you think those court officials will force your father to choose another concubine?"

Lin Yiwan retorted without hesitation, "What does Mother think? Do you agree to him choosing a concubine?"

Lin Su shook her head: "I disagree!"

She didn't want any other women around the Prince, and she was very satisfied with her current life.

However, she knew very well that once she entered the palace and became the emperor, some things would become beyond her control.

She bit her lip helplessly, a hint of melancholy flashing in her eyes.

Lin Yiwan gently comforted her, "Mother, don't worry too much. You should trust Father; he will protect you and your brother!"

Lin Su's cheeks flushed slightly. Yes, she had actually been worrying too much.

The king treated her with utmost care and affection.

He would certainly not let her suffer the slightest injustice!

Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

A few days later, the grand ceremony of abdication arrived.

Prince Li, dressed in imperial robes, and Lin Su, dressed in empress's phoenix robes, ascended the Qianqiu Palace.

With the support of Consort Lin, Xiao Ling solemnly handed the imperial seal of the Sheng Dynasty to Prince Li. He respectfully said, "Grand Uncle, from this day forward, you are the Emperor of the Sheng Dynasty. Congratulations on your ascension to the throne!"

Prince Li immediately announced that Xiao Ling would be granted the title of Prince Rong and be given the Prince Rong's Mansion.

Xiao Ling bowed to express his gratitude, and Consort Lin officially became the Princess Consort of Rong.

With the new emperor's arrival at the palace, Empress Lin Su officially became the head of the harem.

Zhan Yihou and Lin Yiwan's identities remained unchanged; however, their status became even more prestigious.

Zhan Miao has become highly sought after again, with many powerful and wealthy families wanting to form a marriage alliance with the Zhan Yi Marquis's family.

However, Lin Yiwan didn't take this matter to heart, because with Xie Jianshu returning home to visit his family, it was time to start preparing for his wedding with Zhan Qingning.

Xie Jianshu returned from his meritorious service on the border. In addition to being the heir of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, he was also appointed as the General of the Cavalry, commanding 5,000 troops.

The new emperor did not intend to let him return to the border, and decided to keep him to guard the capital.

Upon hearing this news, Xie Jianshu was overjoyed; he truly didn't want to be separated from Zhan Qingning.

After leaving the palace, he went to the street and bought a lot of exquisite pastries.

He rushed to the Marquis of Zhanyi's residence to request an audience with Zhan Qingning.

The first to emerge were Zhan Miao and Zhan Xiaobai, one human and one wolf, looking quite imposing.

She squinted and asked, "Xie Jianshu, what do you want with my sister? Didn't we say that newlyweds aren't allowed to meet? How can you be so disregarding the rules?"

Xie Jianshu scratched his head: "Little Meow, I wanted to tell your sister some good news. I also bought you some delicious pastries. Could you please make an exception and take me with you to see her?"

He handed the food box to Zhan Miao, his face full of anticipation.

Zhan Miao looked down and opened the food box, finding that the snacks were indeed quite good.

She took a piece of peach blossom cake and stuffed it into her mouth, saying, "I'll let you in since you bought some snacks, but there won't be a next time!"

Xie Jianshu exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you so much, Sister Miao'er!"

After saying that, he rushed into the inner courtyard like a gust of wind.

Zhan Miao, the little foodie, was eating her snacks when Zhan Xiaobai couldn't resist nudging her with his head.

Why would she sell her own sister just for a little food?

At this moment, Zhan Qingning was doing embroidery, and she planned to embroider some clothes for Xie Jianshu.

She heard heavy footsteps outside and immediately looked over out of curiosity.

Xie Jianshu rushed in: "Qingning, look what I brought you!"

When Zhan Qingning saw him covered in sweat, she immediately felt a pang of sympathy.

She took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Why are you running? You're covered in sweat. If you catch a cold from the wind, what will you do?"

Her gentle tone immediately made Xie Jianshu blush and his heart race.

He held her hand: "Qingning, don't worry about me. I'm no longer the pampered heir of a marquis's mansion. I'm a great general who has been tempered on the battlefield. My body is very strong and I won't easily catch a cold!"

Zhan Qingning quickly and shyly pushed him away: "General Xie, please stay away from me, lest people see us and gossip!"

Xie Jianshu realized what was happening and quickly let go of her hand, saying, "I'm sorry, Qingning, I was being presumptuous!"

Zhan Qingning sat back on the soft couch to calm herself down. After taking a sip of tea, she asked, "What good news do you want to tell me?"

Xie Jianshu then explained, "The Emperor has appointed me as the Commander-in-Chief of the Capital Guard. I no longer need to return to the border camp. In other words, after the wedding, we won't have to be separated as husband and wife. Isn't that good news?"

Zhan Qingning's eyes lit up. That's great!

She asked anxiously, "Did you tell your mother?"

Xie Jianshu shook his head: "Not yet. I just received the decree and rushed to tell you. I haven't had time to tell the Lady Hou and the others yet!"

Zhan Qingning stood up and grabbed his wrist: "Come on, let's go tell Mother and make her happy too. Yesterday she was worried that I should go with you to the army. She was afraid I wouldn't be able to endure the hardships at the border!"

As the two walked to the main courtyard, they saw Lin Yiwan having Ling'er carry Zhan Qingning's dowry out.

Zhan Qingning asked in shock, "Mother? How can there be so many?"

Lin Yiwan smiled with narrowed eyes: "When I, Lin Yiwan, marry off my daughter, it will naturally be a grand affair. This is not much. With the dowry given by your uncle, our entire courtyard will probably be overflowing!"
