The Qin Mansion was bustling with activity.

It is said that happy events will not come if they are not well-organized, not to mention that this marriage was urgent. Lord Qin and Madam Qin had not had time to entertain guests, and they did not think that many guests would come.

But I didn't expect that there would be so many nobles and court officials coming uninvited today.

Mrs. Qin was busy adding countless tables. When she saw more people coming, she added more tables and asked the servants to invite chefs from several major restaurants.

Qi Yuning, Lu Ze and Lingling sat at the main table.

Qin Feng entertained Lu Ze and said, "I've been busy with things at home today, so I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Lu Ze said, "We've known each other since childhood, so there's no need to worry so much. It's just that I never thought your sister would one day become my aunt."

Qin Feng lowered his voice and sighed, "I didn't expect that at this critical moment, my sister marrying Prince Shou is really not a good thing."

Lu Ze said, "My uncle, the Prince of Shou, has always been kind. I'm sure he will treat Qin Mang well and won't let him suffer any hardship."

Qin Feng sighed again and said, "The situation in the court is so turbulent right now... How can I not be worried?"

Prince Xu and Prince Jin are not ordinary princes. Prince Shou is kind, but a kind person is also a weak person.

Now everyone in the court is saying that Prince Shou will soon become the crown prince, but Qin Feng doesn't think so. He believes that Prince Shou is not suitable to be the king.

If his sister was only the princess consort of a leisurely prince, Qin Feng would be extremely relieved. However, if she had to compete for that position in the future, how could Qin Feng not be worried?

Lu Ze said, "Today is a good day, let's have some wine."

Qin Feng finished his glass of wine and said, "I have to go entertain other guests. Excuse me."

After Qin Feng left, Qi Yuning looked at the bustling Qin family, the bright red wedding characters, and said to Lu Ze, "It's really lively today."

The thoughts of the guests who came to the banquet can also be seen from this.

Lu Ze said, "I'm afraid it's going to be even more lively in the next few days. I heard that there are quite a few people at Prince Jin's Mansion trying to introduce him to a Jin princess. At Prince Xu's Mansion, even though Princess Xu is still bedridden, there are quite a few people trying to introduce him to a new wife!"

Qi Yuning shook his head slightly and drank the wine cup in front of him.

Holding the imperial edict of succession in her hand, she could only sigh as she looked at these people who were busy pursuing future power with their thoughts clearly written on their faces.

"Uncle! Here!"

When Lingling saw Princess Duan and Zhao Jie coming, she waved to them to come and sit next to her.

Qi Yuning and Lu Ze stood up and saluted Princess Duan: "Aunt."

Princess Duan smiled faintly and said, "No need to be polite. It's quite lively here. Sister Mang used to play with Shan'er. They are not much different in age. I didn't expect that she would become Shan'er's ninth aunt. It's really hard to say what fate is in this world."

Lingling gave the cake in the bowl in front of Zhao Jie and said, "Uncle, try this. It's delicious."

Little Zhao Jie took the cake Lingling gave him and smiled at her, "It's delicious."

Qi Yuning looked at little Zhao Jie who was eating cakes beside him and smiled faintly. Such a child of four or five years old was about to ascend to the position of the emperor, but was trapped in the palace for the rest of his life.

No wonder Lingling often goes to the palace to play with her uncle.

Even the little Zhao Jie in the Xinwei year was just a child.

Zhao Jie saw Qi Yuning was looking at him, so he also looked at Qi Yuning and smiled at him.

In the afternoon, Qi Yuning and Lu Ze took Lingling and Zhao Jie to the palace.

Prince Shou was overjoyed. Logically, his brothers would have gone, but His Majesty could not leave without his descendants. Even though he was an emperor, he was just like the common people. He had to take his last look at his descendants before he left.

Lingling and Zhao Jie arrived at the Taiji Hall, which actually added a lot of liveliness to the hall.

The Tai Chi Hall was no longer dead and gloomy.

Even when His Majesty wanted to smoke opium, he was concerned about his two children and didn't want to smoke it anymore. It seemed that he looked at his grandson who would inherit his fortune in the future and his only great-grandson, and thought that smoking opium was more useful than opium.

Emperor Shiyuan called Zhao Jie to his dragon bed, "Jie'er, do you want to be the emperor?"

Zhao Jie blinked and said, "I think the emperor is the most powerful. This way he can protect mother!"

Emperor Shi Yuan patted Zhao Jie's little head and said, "The emperor isn't the most powerful person. Being an emperor requires a lot of considerations. When you become emperor, you will not only have to protect your mother, but also distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and protect the people of Dasheng. You will be busy all day long. Can you do it?"

Zhao Jie pursed his lips and said, "I will study hard and do my best."

Lingling also climbed onto the dragon bed and smiled faintly at Emperor Shiyuan, saying, "Grandfather, Lingling will help my uncle become a good emperor! Lingling already knows many, many words!"

Emperor Shi Yuan patted Ling Ling's head and said, "Good, you are so well behaved."

Emperor Shi Yuan said to Zhao Jie, "You must listen carefully to your cousin Ze in the future."

"Zer, I entrust this Dasheng Kingdom and your cousin to you."

Lu Ze was well prepared. He bowed and said, "I will do my utmost to assist my cousin Zhao Jie and help him become a wise ruler like you."

Emperor Shiyuan coughed and said, "Okay."

Qi Yuning and Lu Ze stayed with Emperor Shi Yuan until late at night, until Prince Jin came to replace them. However, it was obvious that Emperor Shi Yuan did not like his son Prince Jin at all.

As soon as Prince Jin arrived, Emperor Shi Yuan showed no good face.

Qi Yuning and Lu Ze were on their way back to the princess's mansion, holding Lingling's hand. They were looking at the starry sky while Lingling sang some random nursery rhymes, looking very happy.

After returning to the princess's residence, Qi Yuning went to wash up and asked Lu Ze to take Lingling to the small room to coax her to sleep.
