Lan Linxue knelt on the ground, her captivating face displaying an adorable expression towards her father.
Qin Kou'er couldn't bear to watch any longer and covered her eyes.
This is utterly shameful. This is the first time in my life I've ever heard of someone so actively competing for the position of crown prince.
Shu Lingxi also found Lan Linxue's statement quite novel, and couldn't help but laugh and say, "Nephew, aren't you being a little too obsessed with becoming the crown prince?"
Lan Shanyang looked at her son with a completely disgusted expression.
Lan Qingtian, seeing that his nephew actually wanted to be the crown prince, couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, "Xue'er, that's right! A real man should be willing to shoulder heavy responsibilities! Good! You've got potential!"
Shu Lingxi immediately gave her husband a disdainful look. "Your Highness, are you sure you're not mistaken? Does your nephew look like someone who would dare to take on such a great responsibility? He was just thinking of Kou'er's best interests at heart!"
"Who cares why? As long as my nephew is now aspiring to be the crown prince, that's the best thing!"
Lan Qingtian didn't have the brains of these people. He felt that as long as Lan Linxue could sit on the throne and be his crown prince in the end, that would be enough!
Everyone immediately gave Lan Qingtian a look of disdain.
Lan Linxue, however, was still squatting on the ground, looking at his father with a cute expression, waiting for his father to nod in approval.
Lan Shanyang was really angry with him.
Do you think you can just decide to become the crown prince? What's with this competition system?!
Bah! He's never heard of anyone becoming the crown prince through a competitive selection process in his entire life!
"Lan Linxue, do you think the world is a toy in your hands, something you can do whatever you want with? Let me tell you, no way! You want to be the crown prince? Hmph, then you'll have to rely on your own abilities!"
Lan Linxue immediately exclaimed, "I didn't say I'd be made crown prince right away! I'm actively seeking the position!"
After saying that, Lan Linxue blinked again, looked at Lan Shanyang, and asked infuriatingly, "But Father, who am I supposed to compete with? Don't forget, given the current situation, neither Lan Xiuyuan nor Lan Jiayuan are qualified to compete with me!"
Lan Shanyang glared at Lan Linxue, so angry that she wanted to slap her son hard.
After staring at me for a long time, he finally managed to choke out, "You'll drive me crazy sooner or later! Get up!"
Lan Linxue knew from her father's expression that the matter was definitely going to succeed, and then she stood up happily.
He walked up to Qin Kou'er and winked at her.
Qin Kou'er looked up at the sky, pretending not to know this infuriating little rascal.
Lan Shanyang looked at Qin Kou'er, then said to her gently, "Although Hu Tianyong is dead, Kou'er, don't feel aggrieved. At least I believe that Xu Ming would never have the courage to die. The trial will still be held tomorrow! I will personally uphold justice for you!"
Qin Kou'er quickly walked over, bowed, and said, "This humble woman thanks Your Majesty for your grace!"
Lan Shanyang smiled slightly, then looked at the panoramic view beside him and asked calmly, "The invitations for Miss Qin and Lin Xue's marriage haven't been sent out yet? What's the Imperial Observatory doing? They're getting more and more unreliable!"
Upon hearing this, Quan Jing quickly walked over with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Because this is the Prince's wedding, the Imperial Observatory is being extra cautious, and the announcement to the world is being made with great solemnity! The imperial edict to Miss Qin has been prepared and is just about to be consulted with Your Majesty. If Your Majesty agrees, Miss Qin will receive the imperial decree tomorrow!"
Lan Shanyang nodded in satisfaction, "Then let them bring it over later! Mom doesn't always have to keep good things to herself. We can't let those wicked people really spoil our fun!"
"Yes! This servant will have them present it to His Majesty immediately!"
Lan Shanyang thought for a moment, then glanced at Lan Linxue before turning to Shu Lingxi and saying, "Lingxi, could you help tidy up the Crown Prince's Palace later? We don't want it to be a mess when we actually need it; that wouldn't look right!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Linxue almost jumped for joy. Clearly, this meant that her father had agreed to her desire to become the crown prince. She couldn't help but grab Qin Kou'er's hand, winking and making faces at her, leaving Qin Kou'er completely bewildered.
Shu Lingxi quickly replied with a smile, "Yes! Sister-in-law will go right away! I'll make sure the Crown Prince's palace is beautifully decorated to please the Emperor!"
After saying that, Shu Lingxi turned to Lan Linxue and said, "Your Highness, why don't you go and thank the Emperor!"
Lan Linxue quickly hopped over and bowed deeply to Lan Shanyang: "Your subject thanks Your Majesty!"
Lan Shanyang's eyes hurt whenever she sees him now.
He stood up and glared at Lan Linxue with annoyance: "Hmph, you don't need to thank me! You know who you've benefited from! Alright, you may all leave, I'm going to rest!"
Several people quickly knelt down to respectfully see Lan Shanyang off.
After Lan Shanyang left, Lan Linxue pulled Qin Kou'er to Shu Lingxi and said with a smile, "Auntie will have to work hard this time! Linxue thanks you in advance!"
Shu Lingxi smiled and tapped Lan Linxue: "Your little mouth is so sweet, it always makes people feel good! Don't worry, your aunt will definitely arrange a decent wedding for you! Just don't think it's too simple when it's over!"
Qin Kou'er smiled shyly: "Your Highness, what are you saying? How could Kou'er find it simple? Your Highness's arrangement is exactly what I've been hoping for! Kou'er thanks Your Highness in advance!"
"Oh, no need for such formalities, Kou'er! We'll be family soon, why say such things! But, I wonder if Kou'er has any special needs regarding marriage? Just tell me, and I'll help you with everything!"
