However, the emperor is the supreme ruler after all, and Fuqiu is not the kind of person who is ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. There is nothing wrong with making a few jokes when he is in a good mood, but if she does not know the limits, she will really get herself into trouble.

Therefore, Fuqiu smiled secretly in her heart for a while, and then changed the subject, "Your Majesty, look, how cute the little princess is."

As she spoke, she handed the child over.

The emperor held the child on his lap and teased him for a while. "He is much better than those rascals."

Suddenly, the emperor remembered that when Xuan Zheng was this old, he was very small and soft. At that time, he sat on his lap and called him "Royal Brother" in a soft and tender voice. Thinking about it now, it really makes people miss him.

Time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, that brat already has a wife.

Although she is a male wife...

At the Linhuai Palace, Xuan Zheng suddenly felt a chill on his back. Seeing that he looked different, Lin Chengyu asked, "What's wrong?"

Xuan Zheng came back to his senses and rubbed his hair. "It's okay, I just feel like someone is talking about me behind my back."

Lin Chengyu kept moving his hands and teased, "Maybe some young man or girl is in love with the prince and is thinking about him right now."

It must be said that Lin Chengyu's eloquence is sometimes very endearing, but sometimes makes Xuan Zheng want to beat him up.

"you......"

It was impossible to beat her, but kneading and kneading her was possible. Xuan Zheng seemed to be making trouble and poked a few holes in Lin Chengyu's small vase that was about to take shape. When he pounced on her in a rage, he pressed her in his arms and gave her a good beating.

If it comes to a fight, Xuan Zheng may not be able to beat Lin Chengyu, but in this matter, Lin Chengyu was defeated by him. After just a few rounds, he surrendered.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again." Lin Chengyu's cheeks flushed, and she fell on Xuan Zheng's legs and couldn't stop laughing. Her eyes were bright, which made Xuan Zheng feel soft-hearted. "Okay, I'll let you go."

Lin Chengyu grabbed Xuan Zheng's hand and sat up, muttering softly, "Besides this one move, do you have any other tricks? You always use this one."

Xuan Zheng smiled smugly, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, looking a little naughty, "It doesn't matter if there are many tricks, as long as they are useful."

Lin Chengyu glanced at him and said, "Okay, one day, I will find out the move that Xuan Zheng fears the most. By then, even if Xuan Zheng cries and begs for mercy, it will be useless. I will definitely shout that the lawless bastard knows how powerful he is."

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Before finding a trick to defeat the enemy, Lin Chengyu didn't want to provoke him again. Although his skill of changing the subject was a bit clumsy, Xuan Zheng still followed his words and said, "The Jia family couldn't see you, and there was no one else to ask, so I went to the Lin Mansion."

However, Jia Min and the others did not know the truth about Jia Yuanchun's sudden death. Even though Jia Lian begged them repeatedly, they could not explain it.

The maid brought hot water and a towel over. Lin Chengyu soaked her hands in it and squinted her eyes comfortably. "Once Jia Yuanchun died, the Jia family's support was gone. Naturally, they were anxious."

Xuan Zheng maliciously soaked his hand in the water and held Lin Chengyu's hand to prevent him from hiding. "What they fear most is not losing their support, but why Jia Yuanchun died."

If Jia Yuanchun really died of an acute illness, the Jia family would be sad, but they would not be asking around like headless flies like they are now.

"Stop making trouble." Lin Chengyu grabbed his hand and stopped him from moving. "The emperor didn't make a big fuss about punishing Jia Yuanchun, which is enough to show that he doesn't want to implicate the Jia family because of Jia Yuanchun's affairs."

Xuan Zheng washed his hands carefully and dried them with a towel. "Yes, but they are now in a state of panic because of Jia Yuanchun's death. They are just desperate and are trying all kinds of methods."

As Xuan Zheng said, the Ning and Rong families had paid a lot of wrongful money in private because of Jia Yuanchun's death, but they didn't get any useful information at all.

After Jia Lian returned home exhausted, he sighed and said, "Let alone those who don't know the inside story, even if they do know the inside story, who would dare to tell us a single word? The old lady urged me to go and find out, but it's just a waste of effort."

"Who said it wasn't?" Wang Xifeng pinched his shoulders with concern. "What will your aunt and the others say when you go to the Lin residence today?"

Jia Lian took her hand and they sat opposite each other. "Chengyu hasn't been home these days, and my aunt and the others don't know what happened."

Speaking of this, Jia Lian said, "When I went there, I saw my third sister was also at the Lin residence. Why does she always go to the Lin family these days?"

Wang Xifeng whispered, "I'm telling you this, you must not tell anyone. It won't be fun if the wife finds out."

"I have always kept my mouth shut, you know that." Jia Lian's curiosity was aroused, and he urged, "Hurry up and tell me."

Wang Xifeng was not quite sure what Jia Tanchun was originally doing at the Lin Mansion, but she happened to see it when she went there some time ago.

Jia Lian was a little surprised when he heard this. "I've always known that my third sister is a capable person, but I didn't expect that she has such ambitions. Maybe our family will have a female general."

His last words were just a joke, and Wang Xifeng knew it, feeling somewhat regretful, "It's a pity that she was born a girl. If she was a boy, your Jia family might have another general by now."

Jia Lian said, "Don't you always say that men and women are the same? Why are you saying that again now?"

Wang Xifeng sighed, "That's what they say, but girls are restricted in every way when they are out there. How can they compare to you men? You can do whatever you want, and even if it's a little out of line, no one will say anything."

When Wang Xifeng was a child, she was raised as a boy by her family. She didn't think there was any difference between boys and girls. Later, as she grew up, she realized that men and girls are essentially different.

No matter how capable a girl is, she can only stay within the inner house. Even if she has great ambitions, they are just empty talk.

Jia Lian naturally didn't understand her melancholy, but the two of them had been on good terms these days, and he didn't want to say anything discouraging to upset Wang Xifeng, so he could only tease her, "Maybe someday these rules and regulations will be gone. When that time comes, Second Madam, when you are out there making achievements, don't forget me."

Wang Xifeng was amused and said, "That's natural."

After talking about unimportant things, the most urgent matter is still Jia Yuanchun's matter.

Grandmother Jia urged him every day, but Jia Lian was really powerless. Sometimes he even wished he could stay away from home. As soon as he came back, Grandmother Jia would call him over for questioning, not giving him any time to breathe.

"The old lady was like this when it came to Baoyu's matter. Now she is even more anxious when it comes to the matter of the empress. She wants me to give her a reply immediately."

"But it's not as easy as it sounds. The old lady is being too difficult."

"The queen passed away. Isn't it that I am anxious? The old lady is fine, but the madam has a gloomy face all day long. As long as I say that she hasn't asked the question, she will act like she wants to kill someone, as if it's my fault."
