The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

When Huo Zhanting heard Shen Qinglan mention the queen, he was a little surprised, but he quickly nodded in agreement.

After thinking for a while, Huo Zhanting finally started to analyze:

"This Queen Wang is indeed quite capable. She is the concubine sister of the previous Queen and had a very good relationship with the previous Queen. Later, the previous Queen passed away unexpectedly, and only half a year later, this Queen Wang took the throne."

"Moreover, over the years, her position has been stable. Even when Concubine Yan was favored or when the Wang family suffered setbacks, it never threatened her position as queen."

Therefore, if the queen did not have some ability, how could she have maintained her position firmly in the face of such a powerful enemy?

In fact, isn’t the Eighth Prince’s only support the Queen?

As long as the queen is in power, the eighth prince will be the only legitimate son, and the position of crown prince will unconditionally tilt towards the eighth prince.

Huo Zhanting thought about this, looked at Shen Qinglan and suddenly laughed:

"So, today you asked me to help the Ninth Prince just to provoke the Eighth Prince? You want to... divide them?"

Shen Qinglan smiled and nodded, picked a grape from the table, stuffed it into Huo Zhanting's mouth, and said slowly:

"If the Queen wants to fight, it's only for the Eighth Prince. But if the Eighth Prince and she are no longer on the same page and a rift arises, then what is the Queen fighting for? And who is she fighting for?"

Shen Qinglan acknowledged the Queen's abilities, but the Queen's abilities did not necessarily mean the Eighth Prince had them.

The reason why the Eighth Prince can compete with other princes in the court and even have more advantages is entirely due to the Queen.

But if the queen is gone, what kind of trouble can the eighth prince cause?

Shen Qinglan has many ways to deal with the Queen, but the Queen also has many ways to solve the problem.

But what if it collapses from within and destroys the trust between the Queen and the Eighth Prince?

If the mother and son are no longer united, even if the queen has thousands of methods, they will all be empty talk.

Even though Huo Zhanting knew that Shen Qinglan was always smart, decisive, and meticulous, he was still shocked by what she said.

Such a woman should not live in the rear house.

If she were a man, she would have made a significant contribution to history books!

Thinking of this, Huo Zhanting couldn't help but sigh, and hugged Shen Qinglan into his arms, resting his head on her shoulder, and said with a hint of melancholy in his voice:

"Lan'er is such a person that she shouldn't be given anyone's surname. She should be upright in front of others so that her pearl won't be covered in dust."

The warm breath on her neck made Shen Qinglan shudder slightly. Listening to Huo Zhanting's words with a hint of regret, Shen Qinglan couldn't help but smile and said helplessly:

"What's wrong with you?"

"I just feel that you are so talented and strategic that everyone in the world should know about it. You are so brilliant that you should not be just the mistress of a family."

The mistress of a family is not worthy of Shen Qinglan at all. In Huo Zhanting's heart, Shen Qinglan deserves to be granted a title of nobility or a position of prime minister.

Shen Qinglan was touched when she heard what Huo Zhanting said. She asked with a hoarse voice:

"Don't you think that I am not a womanizer and not a good wife by abusing my power?"

Huo Zhanting shook his head, hugged Shen Qinglan tighter, and said seriously:

"What is a wife's duty? From now on, I will strictly abide by the husband's duty."

Everyone said that it was Shen Qinglan's blessing to marry him, but Huo Zhanting knew that it was actually his blessing to marry Shen Qinglan.

A woman like Shen Qinglan will be able to live a prosperous life no matter where she marries.

Huo Zhanting was really thankful that when he was getting married to the Marquis of Jing'an, Shen Qingli temporarily replaced him as his wife. Otherwise, how could he have picked up such a good wife for free?

Perhaps it was God's will that all the achievements he had made in the previous ten years of military service were only for the sake of Shen Qinglan.

"Oh my, big brother, big sister, in broad daylight, you two are hugging each other like this, isn't that bad?"

Huo Qiyu was leading Yu Paner into the yard.

At a glance, he saw Shen Qinglan and Huo Zhanting sitting in their arms under the grape trellis.

Both of them were extremely beautiful, like two gods who had come down to earth, making it hard for people to take their eyes off them.

When Shen Qinglan saw Huo Qiyu and Yu Paner coming, she coughed lightly with some embarrassment and struggled to get up from Huo Zhanting's arms.

Huo Zhanting was reluctant to see his wife want to leave.

It was Shen Qinglan who pinched his arm and looked at Huo Zhanting pretending to be angry, and Huo Zhanting let go reluctantly.

Although he let go of Shen Qinglan, Huo Zhanting glanced at Huo Qiyu with a hint of dissatisfaction, and said in a bad tone:

"What are you here for?"

Huo Qiyu had already pulled Yu Pan'er over and sat opposite them. When she heard what Huo Zhanting said, she immediately said angrily:

"Brother! What's your attitude? Am I in the wrong place?"

Huo Zhanting raised his eyebrows and glanced at Huo Qiyu lightly with a look of "what do you think", which made Huo Qiyu laugh out of anger.

She thinks her sister is an eyesore!

However, Huo Qiyu also had a way to deal with Huo Zhanting. She directly reached out and grabbed Shen Qinglan's hand, and said coquettishly:

"Sister-in-law, look at my elder brother, he always bullies others..."

Huo Zhanting raised his eyebrows and said with a grin, "Bully you? Are you referring to the time when you insisted on pulling out a tiger's whiskers when you were a kid and I rescued you?"

"Or was it about you poking a hornet's nest and nearly getting stung like a pig, and I had to send you to the hospital?"

"Or..."

When Huo Qiyu heard that Huo Zhanting had no intention of giving her any face, she was so angry that she almost cried.

It was Shen Qinglan who reached out and patted Huo Zhanting's hand. Huo Zhanting then stopped talking, glanced at Huo Qiyu, and raised his hand:

"Your eldest sister-in-law interceded for you, so let it go this time."

Don't give face to the monk, give face to the Buddha. His wife has the most face.

Yu Paner on the side couldn't help laughing, and she was having a hard time holding it back.

Shen Qinglan found it a little funny to see Huo Qiyu looking like she wanted to bite Huo Zhanting to death, so she changed the subject and asked:

"Second sister is here today, so she must have something important to tell you, right?"

When Huo Qiyu heard this, he immediately remembered his purpose and nodded quickly.

"It's like this, Pan'er has decided to open a 'dessert shop', but the location of the shop is a little hard to find, so I want to ask my eldest sister-in-law for help, to see if there is a shop with a better location?"

"Dessert shop?" Shen Qinglan looked at Yu Paner curiously.

Upon hearing this, Yu Pan'er quickly took out the dessert she had prepared and handed it to Shen Qinglan, saying:

"It's just desserts, but I think dessert shop sounds better. These are what I have been researching these days. Princess, you can try them."

Shen Qinglan looked at the snacks that Yu Paner took out with some curiosity. Each one was exquisite.

What Huo Qiyu said was true. Yu Paner could make far more kinds of snacks than she could.

Such ingenuity is amazing.

Shen Qinglan had actually tasted the snacks made by Yu Paner last time, and they tasted naturally good. Now looking at so many dazzling array of snacks, they looked much better than traditional pastries.

Seeing that Shen Qinglan didn't taste it, Yu Paner asked nervously:

"Won't the princess try it?"
