Don't be afraid, handsome man, I will save your whole family with my melon-eating system

Hearing this, Li Maoan was stunned.

I didn't expect Xu Chongshan to ask such a direct question.

For a moment, I didn't know how to answer, "My King..."

"There is another question that has been bothering me." Xu Chongshan interrupted him and said solemnly, "I want to ask the prince, why did you agree to help my daughter?"

"I……"

"Of course, Your Majesty, you can say that it's for your own daughter. But Miss Li was only engaged to Yiwen two days ago. Before that, your Rong Palace and the second branch of the Mu Mansion..."

"If I remember correctly, there should be no disputes. Oh, I forgot that Master Mu is the prince's second uncle."

"But, Marquis Dingyuan is also the prince's eldest uncle. Moreover, the marquis's daughter is engaged to the prince's eldest son."

"Although the Miss Mu who was engaged to Master Ling has been replaced by Master Mu's daughter. Could it be that the prince knew from the beginning that Master Ling's fiancée was going to be replaced?"

"Brother Xu, this king..."

"It was I who realized it later." Xu Chongshan interrupted him again, chuckling a little self-deprecatingly, "It turns out that the prince has always favored Master Mu, not the marquis."

"But I just can't understand why the prince obeys my wife so much."

After saying that, he just stared at Li Maoan, waiting for his answer.

Li Maoan only felt his head "buzzing" as if it exploded.

Something flashed through his mind, but it was so fast that he had no time to catch it.

He just stood there stupidly, with his mouth slightly open, not knowing how to answer.

Then a thought flashed through my mind: No, could it be that Xu Chongshan knew something?

Impossible! He and Ruan Lizi's affair was concealed very well. How could Xu Chongshan know about it?

"Brother Xu, tell me the truth. I feel very sorry for what happened between Wanying and Yiwen." Li Mao'an finally found his own voice.

At this time, he could only make excuses, "Mrs. Xu and my princess are as close as sisters, and they were even close friends before they got married. Wanru and Wanying are also as close as sisters to Panyue."

"To be honest, I did this because the princess and Wanru begged me to do so. Later, Brother Xu and my second uncle discussed it with me and we made a unanimous decision."

"Brother Xu, what do you mean by asking this now? Do you not want to support the Third Prince?"

At this point, his face darkened and he looked worried, "Brother Xu, this won't do! We have all met the Third Prince and expressed our feelings to him. If we regret it now, won't that anger the Third Prince?"

"Let me put it more directly. In fact, it is only a matter of time before the Third Prince is appointed as the Crown Prince. He is the legitimate son of the Queen and the most beloved prince of the Emperor. Who else can be the Master of the Eastern Palace except him?"

"Although the Second Prince has military merits, his status as Concubine Qiong...is not up to par with others."

"If the Second Prince had not made great contributions in the war, Concubine Qiong would still be just Noble Lady Qiong. She is just a mother who has gained status because of her son."

"Your Majesty, so far, only has two princes, the Second Prince and the Third Prince. If you don't support the Third Prince, do you support the Second Prince?"

"Brother Xu, you and I both know that the emperor doesn't like the second prince. If nothing had happened to the eldest prince, how could there be so many problems?"

The eldest son of the emperor and also the son of the queen.

He is the first child of the emperor and empress, a child that they both look forward to very much.

However, Concubine Qiong, who was the queen's personal maid, seduced the emperor while the queen was pregnant.

Then I got pregnant overnight.

If it weren't for the Queen's mercy, the Emperor would have executed her.

Because of the queen's plea, the emperor did not execute her, but only gave her a courtyard and let her fend for herself, and did not even give her the position of concubine.

She was self-aware and stayed quietly in the courtyard, not daring to cause any trouble.

Originally, the emperor wanted to kill the mother and spare the child. After she gave birth to the child, she was executed.

Still, the kindhearted queen saved her.

When she was more than nine months old, the queen went to see her.

However, she unexpectedly gave birth to a premature baby. The queen was so anxious that she had a miscarriage and also gave birth to a premature baby.

Therefore, the emperor and Concubine Qiong, who was not yet a concubine at the time, gave birth on the same day.

Unfortunately, the eldest prince born to the queen was weak at birth because he stayed in the queen's womb for too long.

All the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau tried their best to save the patient for two days and two nights, but they still couldn't save him.

The eldest prince passed away.

The second prince born to Concubine Qiong was obviously born prematurely, but he was very tenacious and survived.

From then on, Emperor Wen of Zhou hated the mother and son even more. If the empress had not been kind and pleaded for them, the second prince would have been buried with the eldest prince.

Later, the queen finally became pregnant with the third prince and Princess Jiaoyang with great difficulty.

The emperor was very happy.

But since then, the concubines in the harem have not given birth to any children.

Emperor Wen of Zhou was over 40, but he had only three children: the second prince, the third prince and Princess Jiaoyang.

Originally, in a few months, Concubine Yue could have given birth to another prince or princess.

pity……

Xu Chongshan naturally knew about these things.

He also knew that it was only a matter of time before the third prince was appointed crown prince.

But, to be honest, the third prince's ability is far from comparable to that of the second prince.

The second prince grew up in the military camp and has many military achievements.

The third prince, on the other hand, was brought up under the protection of everyone. He could not be lifted or carried.

Apart from being able to talk big on paper, he is really... useless.

"I understand." Xu Chongshan nodded, "I won't bother you anymore, sir. Goodbye!"

He bowed to Li Maoan and turned to leave.

Li Maoan was bewildered.

So, he just came here to say a few words? Why do I have a bad feeling?

"Brother Xu..."

"Your Highness, you don't have to see me off. I know what to do." Xu Chongshan interrupted him and added, "Congratulations to Your Highness first. Double happiness has come to you."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Li Maoan became even more dull and stupid.

……

Dingyuanhou Mansion

Xu Zhimiao was looking at the account books handed over by the managers.

To be honest, she doesn't want to be the head of this family!

Fortunately, this is the major she studied during her social savings period and this is also the job she is working in.

Therefore, it is not difficult at all to check and reconcile the accounts.

The old lady and the marquis' wife were even more satisfied with this.

This is their beloved granddaughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, who is simply omnipotent.

Where can you find such a treasure? You must worship it like a Bodhisattva.

"Princess Consort, Miss Ji requests to see you." Chunyu walked to Xu Zhimiao and said seriously.
