Chapter 691
"You can't speak like that." The fourth prince asked his servants to line up all the things he brought on the floor of the room.

I sat on the chair and poured a cup of tea, "Even if Miss Lan Ling doesn't want to see me, it's not because I'm thinking about you. I heard that you've almost recovered, so I came to see you."

The fourth prince looked at Lan Ling's face, "Oh, there are some differences."

Lan Ling was poked at the sore spot and bit her lip, "You are not welcome here, please leave."

"It seems that you are still as hot-tempered as ever."

Lan Ling didn't open his mouth, the Fourth Prince went straight on and said, "I just came here today to ask, how do you think about the proposal I gave you?"

|I look like this, you still want to marry me, and be equal to your princess? "

"So what, this king really loves you, not your appearance, but the person you are."

"Si Wang, don't you think it's hypocritical to say this?"

"What lies can this king say? You think that this king is almost the same as those men. This king is different from them. What this king sees is a person's soul."

Lan Ling also knows that she has no good place to go now. With her appearance, Zhao Guo can't go back. In the end, she can only die of old age in a corner. If she goes to the fourth prince's mansion, it is the best choice now .

It's just that he doesn't know how the Fourth Prince intends to use him, and to what extent he will use him.

"Give me a few more days to think about it, I haven't figured it out yet."

Hearing her softened tone, the Fourth Prince also knew that the matter was almost over, the fish was already on the net, and he was just waiting for a chance to bring it ashore.

"Then the king will wait for the good news."

The fourth prince gave the servants a wink and asked them to open the box brought by the fourth prince, and the fourth prince took out a few night pearls on it.

"This king thinks that the two luminous pearls that my father gave to Miss Lan are really not very beautiful. These are specially selected by this king for you. It is my wish to match pearls with beauties. If you like them, keep them. If you don't like it, feel free to deal with it."

After the Fourth Prince closed the box, he took another look at Lan Ling's slightly stiff back before leaving.

Lan Ling couldn't believe that the fourth prince could care so much about her. She also thought about it before, even if His Majesty gave her a place where she could settle down.

Now that she is completely abandoned here, she can only think of another way out.

*
Xi Ge is accompanied by Yan Lin every day, either going to a restaurant to listen to the music, or growing flowers in the mansion, living a comfortable and leisurely life.

In the past few days, there have been news that the emperor will betroth Lan Ling from Zhaoguo to the fourth prince as his concubine. The old emperor is still planning to marry her because of his lack of affection for Lan Ling, and let the fourth prince marry her into the mansion. .

As soon as this news came out, the other princes were immediately alarmed.

His Majesty insisted on welcoming Miss Lan Ling into the palace a few days ago, but now he betrothed her to his son.

Besides, isn’t Lan Ling already disfigured? The Fourth Prince is also willing to marry her. The women in the Fourth Prince’s Mansion are not first-class beauties, but now they want to marry a disfigured woman. If the Fourth Prince is willing to marry In her words, then this matter is worth pondering.

As the old emperor was getting older and his health was getting worse, the competition for the heir to the throne had reached a point of tension.

These princes took out their cards one after another.The court ministers were even divided into several factions. Today I will give you a copy, and tomorrow I will beat him up and start pouring dirty water on each other, knocking down one by one, and the last ones left are the second prince and the fourth prince.

During this time, the Fourth Prince recruited some secret help from the country and a large amount of financial support. He had already seized a place in the court. The Second Prince relied on his connections, the support of his mother and concubine's family, and several brothers' support. Up and down.

Every day the two of them would quarrel in the court, and those retainers gathered in their respective mansions every day to discuss how to get the other party out of power. Even the old emperor had no choice but to take these two sons now.

"Xiao Jiu." The old emperor lay on the dragon bed, "Who do you think is more suitable to sit on the throne, your second brother or your fourth brother?"

"Is the father going to choose between my second brother and fourth brother?"

"Have the rest of you ever fought for the two of them?" This position has always been obtained by fighting. If you can't compete and grab it at this time, then why can you secure the throne.

The old emperor was getting older, and he wasn't as impatient as he was a few years ago, "So who do you think is more suitable for the crown prince?"

Yan Lin thought for a while, and said bluntly, "I think Fifth Brother is more suitable for this throne."

"The five of you are just like you. You are also idle. You are not interested in this kind of thing. Even if I pass the throne to him, he doesn't necessarily want it."

"But my fifth brother is generous and benevolent, and has a very good reputation among the people. My fifth sister-in-law is even more virtuous and manages the back house in an orderly manner. Or does the emperor think that my fifth brother is not suitable for the throne?"

"I just like you kid, you dare to discuss everything with me, if it were your other brothers, I'm afraid they wouldn't dare to speak up."

"That's because the father is not such a rough person." Yan Lin put a high hat on the old emperor, "Besides, it is a good thing that the father wants to establish a crown prince, and this will also strengthen the current atmosphere in the court. I think the fifth brother is very suitable. Four Although the elder brother and the second elder brother seem to have a better chance now, doesn't the father also like the two of them in his heart, otherwise the resurrection would have passed the succession to them long ago."

"You still understand me. Your second brother is too hot-tempered and tends to be impulsive, while the fourth is too calculating and tends to doubt the court's loyal ministers, so neither of them is a good choice for me."

"I think Xiao Jiu is good. If you want, I can make you the crown prince."

The old emperor had to admit that among his sons, although he hated Xiaojiu the most, he also had the greatest hope. Shanzhong, this is very rare.

He didn't want that after a hundred years, those loyal officials of the court would not get a good result. He wanted to choose a wise king for the people, not his most beloved child.

"Forget about it." Yan Lin directly refused, "I don't want to get up early every day to go to court and listen to the ministers arguing. If I have that time, I might as well stay at home and raise flowers to accompany my wife. Father is here."

After hearing this, the old emperor put the folding fan in his hand on the bed and handed something to Yan Lin. "Put this thing away, keep it well, and protect it. I won't worry about handing it over to others."

What the old emperor took out was a yellow imperial edict, folded up and handed to Yan Lin.
