Lan Linxue was sleeping comfortably with Qin Kou'er in her arms when the viewer below suddenly saw the whole scene.
Lan Linxue glanced at the still-sleeping Kou'er in her arms, carefully removed her arm from under Kou'er's head, and then slowly got up. After covering Kou'er with a blanket, she tiptoed out.
As soon as the door closed, Lan Linxue turned around and her face changed.
He glared at the smiling panoramic view before him with a face full of hatred.
"What's wrong? What new tricks has the old man come up with to torment me this time?"
Jing Quan quickly waved his hand, then pulled Lan Linxue aside with a smile and whispered, "My little darling, why are you still angry and acting like a spoiled child! The Emperor is overjoyed right now!"
As he spoke, he quickly pointed behind him: "See? These are all for Miss Qin to nourish her body. That bird's nest is the Emperor's favorite. Look, it's all been sent over to Miss Qin!"
Lan Linxue never expected things to suddenly take such a turn!
He stared wide-eyed at the panoramic view and whispered, "They agreed? So fast? It's a bit unbelievable."
At this point, Lan Linxue immediately leaned closer to Quan Jing with a sly look, "Eunuch Quan, tell me honestly, is my father plotting something behind my back again?"
Quan Jin quickly shook his head vigorously, "Absolutely not! Oh, my Crown Prince, think about it, Miss Qin is carrying a little grandson of the Emperor! How long has His Majesty been waiting for this day! Now that there's news, how could he not be happy? And, most importantly, it's a grandchild! The more he sees her, the more he likes her. So, this time, you can rest assured and handle Miss Qin's matter properly. His Majesty's meaning is very clear: as long as you can select Miss Qin as a concubine, the Emperor will take care of the rest!"
The most crucial thing is that His Majesty's top priority right now is for you two to get married immediately. He absolutely cannot allow anyone to say a bad word about his youngest grandson!
After hearing this, Lan Linxue curled her lips into a lazy smile and said, "That's more like it! I knew he couldn't bear to see his own grandson wandering around."
Thinking that her father had finally accepted Qin Kou'er, Lan Linxue felt that this depressing day had finally improved her mood.
"Grandpa Quan, you must have put in a lot of good words for us in this matter, right?"
As she spoke, Lan Linxue immediately shouted to Shuanghua, "Shuanghua! Go and get one hundred taels of silver for Eunuch Quan. He's worked hard!"
Quan Jing burst out laughing, looking at Lan Linxue with amusement: "My young master, you really know how to joke with this old servant. You grew up by my side since you were a child. Even if this old servant is short of money, would I be so short of money as to come to you?"
As he spoke, Jing Quan took something out of his own body and carefully handed it to Lan Linxue.
"What is this?" Lan Linxue picked it up and took a look. It was crystal clear and actually a bead with a piece of black jade hanging from it.
"Oh, father-in-law, this jade of yours is a fine piece!"
The jade was cool to the touch, crystal clear, and completely free of impurities in its black color; it was truly the finest of the finest.
Jing Quan immediately shook his head. "Young master, you're mistaken. The value of these two items isn't in the jade itself, but in the bead on top!"
"Huh? What is this bead? Isn't it a pearl?"
As she spoke, Lan Linxue held the bead up to the sunlight.
The sunlight was no longer very strong, but when the bead was illuminated by the sunlight, a faint red glow flickered inside. However, when viewed from above, it was still crystal clear, and nothing could be seen inside.
"Huh? What is this thing? I've never seen it before?"
Lan Linxue held the bead and fiddled with it back and forth.
Quan Jing immediately smiled with a hint of smugness: "Never seen this before, have you? It's called Snow Pearl, and it's said to have been transformed from the eye of a python two years ago. This thing not only keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer, but more importantly, it reacts to all poisons. Whenever poison gets close, it turns blood red. So, this is the perfect match for Miss Qin!"
Lan Linxue immediately looked at the panoramic view in surprise: "Father-in-law, how can you have such a good thing?"
Quan Jing immediately smiled innocently: "After all, your father-in-law is the chief steward of the palace. It's not unusual for him to get some rare treasures."
"Oh! Not bad! But why didn't you bring out such a nice thing before? You won't give it to Father Emperor or me, what do you mean by that?"
Lan Linxue looked at the panoramic view and teased him with a smile.
"Hehe, you and the Emperor have had such things for a long time. Besides, this old servant's thing is a good one, and its origins are unknown. If it were taken out easily, it would be quite a big deal!"
Lan Linxue nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry! Don't worry! I won't tell you easily. But I'll keep this. It's a good thing my father-in-law gave me; I can't waste it!"
As she spoke, Lan Linxue unceremoniously stuffed the items into her arms.
The panoramic view, however, was always smiling.
Seeing that Lan Linxue had finally finished, he asked softly, "Master, how do you plan to make Miss Qin a candidate for the imperial concubine selection?"
Lan Linxue immediately smiled, then stopped Jing Quan and mumbled about how she was plotting against Lan Xiuyuan.
Jing Quan nodded in agreement until the very end, when he whispered, "The Crown Prince's idea is excellent. However, after what happened with Hu Qianyu today, do you think Lan Xiuyuan will still have the mind to care about Miss Qin's matter?"
Lan Linxue nodded and said, "Father-in-law's question is very correct. With Hu Qianyu's accident today, even if Lan Xiuyuan wanted to make some moves, he wouldn't dare to be too blatant. Besides, he certainly isn't in the mood for that. I need to provoke him a little so that his plans can proceed more quickly!"
