Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 1214

At this moment, the air in the Imperial Study was filled with the gentle fragrance of sandalwood.

Prince Ling and Murong Yu sat facing each other, the black and white pieces on the chessboard intertwined, the game at a stalemate.

Ling Wang, holding the black piece, made a move that broke the brief silence: "Your Majesty, things have stabilized in Beiliang City, the provisions have been deployed, and the lives of the people are gradually returning to normal."

"The people of Beigong Kingdom gradually settled down."

With Sikong Xuanche dead, they lost their ambition to restore their kingdom.

In addition, under the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty in recent years, Beiliang City is better than before.

Murong Yu nodded slightly, his gaze focused on the chessboard, and placed a white piece: "Very good. Beiliang City is crucial to the stability of the border and cannot be lost. This time, it was thanks to Prince Ling's personal presence that the situation was quickly stabilized."

"What reward do you want?"

Prince Ling smiled modestly: "This is all due to the Emperor's wise decision. I am merely acting on orders and doing my duty."

He picked up his teacup and took a small sip: "I brought Jingjing back with me this time when I returned to the capital."

“She looks more and more like Choi Seung-seo and wants to see him.”

Upon hearing this name, Murong Yu paused in his actions and looked up at Prince Ling: "Then should Princess Ling take her with her?"

Ling Wang remained calm and slowly said, "Jingjing has grown up and no longer needs her mother to accompany her."

Murong Yu understood what he meant.

They then allowed Cui Jingjing to see Cui Yan.

Cui Yuqing couldn't even go with them.

"Qing'er, you come with me to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager. Jingjing can go by herself." Murong Ling came over and grabbed her wrist.

Cui Yuqing's eyes reddened slightly. "Your Highness, you promised me..."

"I only agreed to let Jingjing see him. You are my queen, there is no need for that. Qing'er, you also promised me that you would forget him."

Cui Yuqing froze. Over the years, Murong Ling had treated her extremely well, practically doting on her. In Beiliang City, people even sent her women.

He accepted them, but then found excuses to send them away, and some were given to his subordinates.

He had no other woman besides her.

Cui Yuqing knew she should be content. Whether it was Cui Yan or him, they were both good men to her.

We should not let them down.

"Your Highness, I only regard him as an older brother."

Murong Ling, however, did not want to listen. "If you don't want to see the Empress Dowager, then wait here with the Empress. Yi'er also needs someone to take care of her."

"Do you intend to abandon your son?"

Cui Yuqing's expression froze, and she dared not mention it again.

Murong Ling turned and left.

He was clearly angry.

Cui Yuqing didn't know what to do.

They could only chase after them with their son, pleading, "Your Highness, wait for us!"

"Father!"

Looking at his son and the woman with tears streaming down her face.

Murong Ling finally softened, "Let's go!"

They went with him to see Cui Yan.

A family of four.

Cui Yan felt a pang of heartache just looking at it, but he remained calm on the surface. "Thank you for taking care of my daughter, Your Highness."
