After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

Zhou Menglin smiled when she heard this, "Yes, Your Majesty, I have already prepared them, and I asked Ning'er and Xuan'er to take them over today. They are all treasures that I personally selected, so your Majesty can rest assured."

Xiao Chenyu nodded, "Of course I feel relieved when Zi Tong is doing things."

"Your Majesty, this girl is now old enough to get married. I would like to ask your Majesty's opinion about her marriage."

Xiao Chenyu thought for a moment after hearing this, "I have always remembered this, but it is indeed a bit difficult. If she were a few years older, it would be best to marry our Hui'er, and there is no need to worry about these forces falling into the trap. Other people’s hands.”

The Hui'er in Xiao Chenyu's mouth was Xiao Jinghui, the eldest son of him and the queen. Xiao Chenyu had always preferred Xiao Jinghui to inherit the throne, so he naturally wanted the power behind Lin Qingyao to be used by Xiao Jinghui.

It is not convenient for Zhou Menglin to say anything about the heir to the throne, "Your Majesty, you can just decide this matter. There is no need to discuss it with my concubines."

Xiao Chenyu said nonchalantly: "Zitong, you don't have to be so cautious. I have never shunned these things from you. You are my wife, and my throne will naturally be left to our son."

Zhou Menglin was very moved when she heard this. Xiao Chenyu had never been shy about being kind to her. Even though he is now the emperor, he still calls her his wife.

"His Majesty..."

Xiao Chenyu held Zhou Menglin's hand and said softly: "We have been husband and wife for so many years, you don't have to care what others think."

Zhou Menglin smiled at Xiao Chenyu and nodded.

"Let's get back to what we just said. After much thought, I decided that it would be most appropriate to marry that girl from the Lin family to our Xuan'er. Xuan'er and Hui'er have the same mother and the same mother, and the two brothers are best friends, so there is no need to worry."

Zhou Menglin stopped shying away and began to express her thoughts.

"As far as I know, Xuan'er really likes that girl. That girl is lively and cute, and she is indeed quite likable."

Xiao Chenyu was a little happy when he heard this, "Oh? So Xuan'er likes that girl? If this happens, it will be a good thing."

Zhou Menglin sighed, "Xuan'er must be happy about this, but that girl seems to be closer to the fourth prince. I don't know if she is willing to marry Xuan'er."

Xiao Chenyu nodded, "I have heard about this, but I don't know if it is a conspiracy."

"Your Majesty means..."

"That girl from the Lin family has a special status, and there are many people who care about her. I have to be suspicious. Although the fourth child is a law-abiding person, Concubine Ji Shu is not like that, so she has to be on guard."

Xiao Jingyi had always disguised himself so well that even Xiao Chenyu failed to discover his ambition and thought he was a sensible and obedient son.

But Concubine Ji Shu was used to being arrogant and domineering, and the city was far inferior to her son. Xiao Chenyu could still see through her thoughts.

Zhou Menglin nodded when she heard this, "It depends on what that girl thinks. If she is really in love with the fourth prince, Your Majesty, you can't beat the couple, otherwise it will only chill the heart of the old minister."

"Zi Tong is right. After all, this is a life-long matter for her, and it cannot be decided based on our thoughts alone. Isn't Ning'er very close to that girl? Find a chance to meet her in person and test her thoughts. ."

"Okay, your Majesty, don't worry, I will find an opportunity to ask."

The emperor and empress have already discussed the countermeasures, and Xiao Jingyi is also plotting this matter with Concubine Ji Shu.

Xiao Jingyi came to Concubine Ji Shu's palace as soon as he returned to the palace, wanting to discuss countermeasures with her.

"Yi'er, didn't you go to attend Lin Qingyao's haircut ceremony today? How did it go?"

Xiao Jingyi took a sip of tea and slowly shook his head, "Son, I tried my best, but there was no progress. She didn't even agree to settle the marriage first."

Concubine Ji Shu was a little excited when she heard this, "What? How could this happen? Didn't you say that she obeyed your words, but she didn't let go at this juncture? How on earth did you do it?"

"Mother, please don't be angry. Listen to my son slowly. With Rou'er's help, I have indeed got her under control. But she has become a little strange recently. Although she is still the same on the surface, she is still the same as before. I always feel that she is a little distant and perfunctory towards me, and she doesn’t seem to be as easy to deceive as before.”

"How could this happen? Didn't you say she is a straw bag? How come she can't even control a straw bag? How important is the power behind Lin Qingyao to us? I don't need to remind you again? For our great cause, we must do it no matter what. Get her."

Xiao Jingyi nodded, "Don't worry, concubine, my son understands. My son will discuss countermeasures with Rou'er again and try to get her to let go as soon as possible."

"Yi'er, we are too passive in waiting for her to let go. If a few others get there first in the process, we will have no leverage. Why don't you go directly to your father and ask him for a marriage? "

Xiao Jingyi shook his head, "Concubine, no. The power behind Lin Qingyao is so powerful. We know it, but doesn't my father know it? Now that Lin Qingyao has not agreed, if I rashly request my father, I will definitely be jealous. "

"Besides, my son has no achievements now and has no reason to make a request to his father. This road is not feasible for the time being."

Concubine Ji Shu sighed after hearing this, "What you said makes sense. It seems that for now we can only find a way to get Lin Qingyao to agree, so that our plan can go smoothly."

"Yes, mother-in-law, don't worry, my son will continue to work hard. Isn't Rou'er still there to help? It's only a matter of time before Lin Qingyao relents."

"Yi'er, you're talking about Rou'er, aren't you really in love with Lin Qingrou?"

Concubine Ji Shu looked down on Lin Qingrou regardless of her family background or character. If she hadn't been valuable, Concubine Ji would never have allowed her son to associate with her.

Concubine Ji Shu came from a famous family, so she naturally looked down on women of Lin Qingrou's status.

In comparison, Lin Qingyao is much stronger, at least her identity is of great help to her son.

It's a pity that her son doesn't like Lin Qingyao, but Concubine Ji Shu doesn't care, as long as she can get the power behind her to help her son sit on the throne.

"Mother, my son really likes Rou'er. She is different from that idiot Lin Qingyao. She is a gentle and intelligent woman."

Concubine Ji Shu was very disdainful when she heard this. Lin Qingrou's tricks were enough to deceive other people, but they could not deceive her.

All gentleness and intelligence are all disguised.

She has been fighting in this harem for so many years, and she has never seen any dirty tricks.

Lin Qingrou's little trick was a little too young, so she just had to trick her silly son.

"Yi'er, please listen to my concubine's advice. Lin Qingrou is not who you imagined at all. Don't be fooled by her. I have seen many concubines in the harem these years, and her little tricks can't be hidden from my eyes. That means she still has some use, otherwise my mother-in-law would never allow you to associate with her."
