Quan Jing nodded: "Your Highness is right! Sometimes we just need to put in some effort to push things along. Only in this way can everything proceed as we intend. I will report this matter truthfully to His Majesty, so as not to worry him. As for Miss Qin, please give her my regards and tell her to rest well and not to harm the fetus!"
Lan Linxue nodded, "Don't worry, Father-in-law, I will convey all the messages!"
After saying that, he thought for a moment and then said, "I will also tell her what the Emperor means."
He nodded reassuringly, knowing that the crown prince he had raised was always the most understanding.
After Lan Linxue finished speaking about this matter, she asked Jing Quan in a low voice, "Jiang Ming is about to go to the capital. Does Father-in-law know what he brought for Hu Tianyong?"
Quan Jing immediately shook his head and said with a sneer, "None of these scoundrels are good. Now that such a big thing has happened in Jiangnan, instead of thinking about how to apologize to the Emperor, they are always thinking about giving gifts to Hu Tianyong. Hmph, I think it's time to replace these people!"
Lan Linxue snorted, "My father-in-law and I think the same way! But it's fine this way, the more he flatters him, the faster he'll die!"
"Did the Crown Prince ask him what he was thinking?" Quan Jing looked at Lan Linxue, seemingly trying to read something from his face.
Lan Linxue hesitated for a moment, then asked in return, "How does Your Majesty plan to handle Hu Tianyong's upcoming birthday celebration?"
"The usual rules definitely can't be followed this year! But judging from His Majesty's intentions, not only will Hu Tianyong's birthday be celebrated, but His Majesty will likely give it a grand celebration. You know His Majesty's style; he's most composed in times like these. Crown Prince, you should learn from His Majesty in this respect. Don't rush things. If Hu Qianyu is gone, can Hu Tianyong still be kept around?"
Lan Linxue nodded, a fierce glint in her eyes: "We've already waited ten years, what's the rush for me!"
The two exchanged a few more words before Quan Jing bowed and took his leave.
After the panoramic view was gone, Lan Linxue began to instruct her people to make sure they saw all the entrances in the capital in the next two days and to get a clear understanding of the situation in the capital.
After arranging all of this, Lan Linxue turned around and went into the house.
When Lan Linxue entered the room, she tiptoed in. When she saw Qin Kou'er sitting on the bed in a daze with sleepy eyes, she realized that Qin Kou'er had already woken up.
"Why didn't you sleep a little longer? Did I wake you up?"
As she spoke, Lan Linxue walked over, poured Qin Kou'er a cup of tea herself, and then carefully sat down next to her.
Qin Kou'er took a sip of water, cleared her throat, and then looked at Lan Linxue and asked, "Who came just now?"
Lan Linxue immediately told Qin Kou'er about the panoramic view, and then placed the bead in Qin Kou'er's hand: "Take this with you, it looks like a pretty good thing!"
Qin Kou'er glanced at it, then put it aside without much interest.
"What's wrong?" Lan Linxue looked at Qin Kou'er with some confusion.
"Qin Tiange has four or five of these things, nothing special! In the end, they're not as useful as the bag that Granny Qin gave us!"
Lan Linxue immediately felt as if she had suffered ten thousand points of damage.
Couldn't my wealthy wife stop acting like this, making it seem like I've never seen anything like this before?
Seeing Lan Linxue's displeasure, Qin Kou'er quickly smiled and said, "These things are definitely good! It's just that carrying such things in the capital is too conspicuous. Let me tell you, we should save all these good things for our son. Even if he just plays marbles, it'll be a pastime!"
Playing marbles!
Lan Linxue immediately glanced at Qin Kou'er speechlessly.
Using this phrase to comfort someone is a bit too hurtful.
After Qin Kou'er finished speaking, she seemed to realize that it wasn't quite right, so she immediately chuckled, then hugged Lan Linxue's neck and gave him a big kiss on the cheek: "Good boy! Don't be angry!"
Lan Linxue looked at Qin Kou'er, shook her head helplessly, and then kissed Qin Kou'er hard on the cheek: "I'm happy that my wife is rich!"
The two talked for a while, and then Lan Linxue suddenly said, "You go back first in a while. So that Jun Yannuo and the others won't worry. Then tonight we're going to put on a big show for Lan Xiuyuan to force him to settle the matter of the imperial concubine selection as soon as possible."
"Acting? How do you act?"
Lan Linxue chuckled and said, "You don't need to worry about anything, just follow my lead. Don't worry, I guarantee Lan Xiuyuan will be so anxious he'll be jumping over the wall tonight."
Qin Kou'er noticed that Lan Linxue was talking in a cryptic way and wasn't telling the truth, which clearly meant that she had another wicked idea.
Without giving it much thought, Shuanghua got up, tidied herself up, and then led the others to take Qin Kou'er back.
Before Qin Kou'er could even enter the gate, Jun Yannuo came out with a group of people. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Qin Kou'er had returned unharmed.
Anxious to ask Qin Kou'er what was going on in the palace, Qin Kou'er wouldn't say, only that the place was indeed built by the Emperor to commemorate the Empress, and that was all.
Although Jun Yannuo was somewhat skeptical, judging from Qin Kou'er's attitude, she clearly didn't intend to say anything more. So he stopped asking, because he knew that in the palace, there were always some things that couldn't be said.
Finally, it was dinnertime. Qin Kou'er was exhausted from the day, so she ate with extra relish. And as she had requested, two extra vegetarian dishes were served, so Qin Kou'er enjoyed her meal very much.
Seeing that Qin Kou'er was eating well, everyone around her naturally felt relaxed while eating, and their conversations became quite witty.
