1190 Marriage, the beauty of the red sleeves can only be thought of

Apart from the Ninth Uncle, Feng Qingchen and Doudou, no one else knew that Xiling Tianlei was dead. In everyone's eyes, Xiling Tianlei had escaped in a cowardly way.

Dongling Ziluo and Nanling Jinfan did not want to rush into the miasma forest to capture Xiling Tianlei alive, but after losing a large number of people there, Dongling Ziluo and Nanling Jinfan had to give up this idea.

The two men returned to their respective countries with the captives from Xiling. Of course, they would never forget to spread the news that Xiling Tianlei had abandoned his troops and escaped with his confidants.

In this way, even though they failed to catch Xiling Tianlei and it took so much time, Dongling Ziluo and Nanling Jinfan did not receive much blame, because everyone was scolding Xiling Tianlei.

A prince who sacrificed his subordinates and escaped alone really could not get respect from people. Emperor Xiling was even somewhat fortunate at this time that he deposed Xiling Tianlei early, otherwise Xiling's reputation would have been ruined.

Among them, the happiest ones were Princess Xiling and the Queen. Even if Xiling Tianlei could survive this time, he was completely ruined. A prince with such a bad reputation would have no chance of ascending the throne no matter how capable he was.

If nothing unexpected happens, the one who will ascend to the throne of Xiling will be the son in the eldest princess's belly.

The Queen cared more about the baby in the eldest princess' belly than the eldest princess did. In the eyes of the Queen, this was the child of her most beloved man, Mr. Yinli. This made her happier than if her own son became emperor.

Due to Xiling Tianlei's complete defeat, those people in Xiling who were originally on the sidelines also made their own decisions. When the imperial physician diagnosed that the baby in the eldest princess' belly was a boy, more than 70% of the ministers supported the baby in the eldest princess' belly, and the remaining 30% supported Xiling Tianyu.

It’s not about how Xiling Tianyu won over these 30% of people, but these 30% of people are upright and stubborn. In their eyes, Xiling Tianyu is the emperor’s son, and the legitimate son of the Empress. Most importantly, Tianyu can walk now, so the most qualified heir to the throne of Xiling is Prince Tianyu.

When the Queen saw this situation, she was afraid that the Emperor would really push Xiling Tianyu out in order to balance the power in the court, so she discussed with the Princess to recall Xiling Tianyu.

Xiling Tianyu has already established his foothold in the army. If he is given some more time, he might be able to defeat all the troops on the border, which is something the Queen and the eldest princess do not want to see.

Although the eldest princess didn't understand why the queen was so wary of and plotted against her own son, she didn't say much when she thought that all this was in her favor.

Mr. Yinli immediately passed on the plan of the Princess and the Queen to the Ninth Uncle, but the Ninth Uncle had been in the miasma forest and did not receive it at all.

As soon as the Ninth Prince arrived at the village where he had agreed to meet with his subordinates, a pile of official documents came to him. The Ninth Prince pressed his temples with a headache. Feng Qingchen left the Ninth Prince alone without any loyalty and wandered around the village alone, treating the villagers and earning some medical credit.

The Ninth Prince didn't think much of it at first, but when he saw that he was working so hard every day, while Feng Qingchen and Doudou went out after eating and even had the leisure time to help the villagers harvest rice, the Ninth Prince felt unbalanced.

"Instead of having time to do farm work, why don't you help me deal with these things?" After saying that, he threw the matter of Xiling to Feng Qingchen.

"See how to solve the crisis of Xiling Tianyu."

Xiling Tianyu has to fight now whether he wants to or not. No one will believe him if he doesn't fight.

After reading it, Feng Qingchen decisively proposed a good suggestion: "Tianyu has been named the King of the Southwest, so he should get married. He should find a useful marriage as soon as possible to expand his power. Otherwise, he will be forced to death by the Princess and the Queen, which will be terrible."

Marriage has always been a way for princes to make friends with the powerful and influential, and Cui Haoting is a ready-made example.

"Tianyu is planning to get married. Even if he doesn't want to, his mother will not let him go." The Ninth Prince looked up from a pile of documents and looked at Feng Qingchen.

In fact, he didn't really need Feng Qingchen to help him with anything, he just didn't want Feng Qingchen to be too far away from him.

Why didn't he understand? He had hinted so clearly that he wanted Feng Qingchen to enter the study room. He didn't really want Feng Qingchen to help him with official business, he just wanted Feng Qingchen to be his good friend.

But this woman actually sat opposite him and discussed business with him like an aide.

The Ninth Prince felt like crying.

Could it be that they have spent too much time together and Feng Qingchen is tired of it?

"Have you found a good candidate?" Feng Qingchen had no intention of standing next to the Ninth Prince and grinding ink for him.

The idea of ​​having a mistress accompanying someone else had never entered her mind. Besides, she had been in the army for a long time and had always been able to control her curiosity and never approached places with official documents.

"Yes." The Ninth Prince put away his little thoughts and reported the candidates mentioned by Xiling Tianyu, as well as the candidates he thought were good.

The Ninth Prince was well-informed about the officialdom of various countries. When Xiling Tianyu's marriage was put on the agenda, he asked someone to find out the families of all officials above the third rank.

The Ninth Prince explained everything one by one, and Feng Qingchen listened carefully. At the moment, the two of them were completely in the attitude of handling official business and discussing official matters. As for the so-called "red sleeves adding fragrance"? The Ninth Prince could only think about it in his mind.

"We have both civil officials and military generals, but given Xiling Tianyu's current situation, I think it's useless for him to marry the daughters of these officials. Even if he wants to marry the queen, I won't agree."

From Mr. Yinli's letter, Feng Qingchen could also tell that the eldest princess was very powerful and most of the officials in Xiling were on her side. Even if Xiling Tianyu married a high-ranking official, it would probably not help him much.

"Oh, then who do you think he should marry?" The Ninth Prince put down the pen in his hand and became really interested.

In fact, the candidates for wives he mentioned were all excellent, but... every one of them was good, but every one of them was not good, making him unable to make a decision.

"Actually, it would be best for Xiling Tianyu to marry Princess Anping, but unfortunately..." Feng Qingchen did not continue.

It's not that Princess Anping has an engagement with Beiling, but Princess Yaohua married to Dongling, and because of her miscarriage, she was hated by the royal family of Dongling. At this time, let alone Princess Anping having an engagement, even if the emperor didn't let her marry into Xiling.

“I have also thought about it. Nanling does not have a suitable princess, but Beiling does have one. However, marrying a princess from Beiling is too risky.” The people of Beiling are tough, and so are the women. If the Princess of Beiling really wants to marry Tianyu, not only will Tianyu not get any support from Beiling, he will have to subsidize Beiling.

Beiling is too poor.

"Why didn't you leave Chu Changhua to Xiling Tianyu at that time?" Chu Changhua was such a good candidate, marrying her was like marrying a sweetheart.

Look at King Zhou, he has received endless benefits just by having an engagement with Chu Changhua.

"Chu Changhua is not okay, that woman is too ambitious." He was still afraid of Chu Changhua, and instigated Xiling Tianyu to betray him.

Although he still has a backup plan in Xiling, if he falls out with Xiling Tianyu, it will be more trouble than gain.

"You have a point. And I'm afraid his mother will not agree to him marrying the city lord's daughter." Feng Qingchen fell into deep thought.

Xiling Tianlei would not get much benefit from marrying the daughters of those officials in Xiling. Not every father could be like City Lord Chu, who would not care about anything for his daughter. Many families did not mind sacrificing their married daughters, such as the Wang family.

Wang family, Wang family...

Feng Qingchen's eyes lit up and he said happily, "I got it. I know who to marry."

"Whom to marry?"

A small theater:

Jiujiu: Qingchen, I promise to accompany you every day when you see patients, go shopping, do morning exercises, and take walks. You are in charge of all the money in the mansion, and I am also in charge of you. I will never let anyone beat you up if you ask me to do something. I will find you what you want the first time. If anyone bullies you, I will be the first to beat them up. I promise that I will never change my mind, quarrel with you, or divorce you... Please marry me!

Qingchen: I won’t marry!

Jiujiu: Why don't you marry me? What's wrong with me? I am majestic when I'm out in the hall and powerful when I'm in the inner room. Where can you find a man as useful as me...

Qingchen: It’s easy to use…

Jiujiu: What? Is it not working well?

Qingchen: It’s easy to use, very easy to use!
