Marquis Zhenbei was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Of course."

With the Marquis of Zhenbei's permission, the Second Prince strode toward Lin Wanwan.

He suddenly picked Lin Wanwan up from Ye Lanyin's arms.

"I've always heard that children are the most innocent, and now that I've seen the Lin family's daughter, I know that's really true."

"When I came here last time, I consulted Lin Rui'an about his article on the relationship between ruler and subject, and I benefited greatly from it."

"But compared to Lin Shixuan's poems, they each have their own merits."

"Marquis Zhenbei, your family is sure to produce great figures in the future."

Those present were utterly shocked by the Second Prince's words.

What does the Second Prince mean by this?

Does this mean the Emperor intends to promote the Marquis's family?

Isn't today's promotion the best proof?

Shixuan is truly his precious treasure!

She remembered that she had another daughter in the manor, and then looked at the child in the Second Prince's arms.

The Marquis of Zhenbei has also become bolder.

"Second Prince, your concubine Shuang'er has also given birth to a daughter. Since you love children so much, you will surely like her too."

As he spoke, he gestured to Zou Shuang'er with his eyes.

Zou Shuang'er hurriedly took Zou Wanqing from the maid's arms and put her on the ground.

"Second Prince, this is my daughter. I'm sure you'll like her."

After hearing this, the second prince turned around and looked at the little girl standing on the ground not far away.

The little girl was only slightly taller than Lin Wanwan, and she looked at him calmly.

He frowned slightly.

This child is completely different from Wanwan.

Not cute at all, and full of scheming.

It looks only a little over a year old, but it acts like an adult?

He rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing.

Zou Shuang'er thought the Second Prince was stunned, and she was extremely proud.

Her daughter is incredibly capable; pleasing a prince is a piece of cake for her.

"Second Prince, put her down. I'm better at winning your favor than that fool."

Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Zhenbei nearly lost his soul.

Zou Shuang'er was so frightened that she squatted down and covered Zou Wanqing's mouth.

"Wanqing, how can you say such a thing?"

"It is the Second Prince's freedom to choose whom to embrace."

Lin Wanwan blew bubbles in the Second Prince's arms and played with the tassels on his clothes.

You're the idiot, your whole family are idiots.

[They dared to secretly swap my elder brother's vital energy, trading Lin Shixuan's fate with my elder brother's, and now they still want to fool my second prince brother?]

The second prince was taken aback.

A destiny swap?

The weather is extremely changeable today, with swirling clouds. Was it this child who caused it?

Could it be that the so-called enchantress who caused such a stir in Bianjing last time was also her?

Because at that time he was still Consort Zhao's 'son'.

He didn't come out that day, so he only heard about it, but he didn't know exactly who it was.

[Hmph, monster! Thank goodness I wasn't born to a scumbag father, otherwise being your sister would be an insult to me.]

[Trying to harm my brother? No way!]

[My little penis will bite you to death!]

etc.

What did Linlin Wanwan say?

Is she not the Marquis of Zhenbei's biological daughter?

His eyes widened in shock, and he was almost unable to process what he had just witnessed.

"Concubine Zou, is this the good daughter you've raised?"

"Who gave you permission to come to the front hall?"

Ye Lanyin's face darkened when she heard Lin Wanwan's thoughts that Zou Wanqing was changing her son's fate.

Upon hearing Ye Lanyin's reprimand, Zou Shuang'er's eyes reddened, and she looked towards the Marquis of Zhenbei.

Looking at Ye Lanyin's stern expression, the Marquis of Zhenbei muttered to himself, "How can her face change faster than turning the pages of a book?"

"Madam, I asked her to come out."

“Mother is not feeling well these days, and she has been taking care of her. Today, Mother wanted to come out to the front hall, so I allowed her to come out with her.”

Ye Lanyin said, "Your Excellency should know your limits sometimes. How could you say such things to the Second Prince?"

The second prince steadied himself.

"Lord Zhenbei, is this child the daughter of your household?"

“Uh…” Marquis Zhenbei hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, “Your Highness, she is Zou Shuang’er’s daughter.”

This statement is ambiguous.

If he hadn't just heard Lin Wanwan's words, the Second Prince would have truly believed it wasn't true.

But now...

"If that's not the case, what is the meaning behind the Marquis of Zhenbei asking me to hold a child of unknown origin?"

"Does the Marquis of Zhenbei think that just because I like children, I should hold them all?"

"Originally, I did have the urge to hug him."

"But look at this child yourself, he smells terrible, and do you think a child would say those things? This child looks only a little over a year old, right?"

"Would someone say that if no one taught them?"

"That's just so rude!"

He rebuked the Marquis of Zhenbei and Zou Shuang'er, word by word, in front of the maids and servants.

It was as if they had been slapped hard across the face, making both Zou Shuang'er and the Marquis of Zhenbei turn green with anger.

Originally, the intention was to have Zou Wanqing receive praise from the Second Prince, so that if the Second Prince liked Zou Wanqing, he would also take care of the Marquis's mansion.

At that time, I can also help promote Shixuan.

now……

"Marquis of Zhenbei, I still prefer your daughter, Lin Wanwan."

"This child looks so innocent, with eyes as clear as water. In the future, please don't let me hold any random children again."

Marquis Zhenbei gritted his teeth.

"Yes, Second Prince."

Lin Wanwan chuckled.

If Zou Shuang'er hadn't covered Zou Wanqing's mouth, Zou Wanqing probably would have said even more offensive things.

Lin Wanwan stretched out her chubby little hand, pointed at Zou Shuang'er, and said in a childish voice:
