Chapter 1128 The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (two hundred and fifty-one)

Wei Ying came back very late. Qingli was still half asleep. Feeling a familiar person beside her, she did not resist his hug. But after a while, she felt a little hot and she said in a tender voice, "Let go."

He didn't let go, still holding her, just gently fanning her. Feeling the cool breeze, Qingli fell asleep comfortably again.

Only she, the wife of the Duke's Mansion, could sleep soundly until dawn. Although those things were not good, it had to be said that her life was indeed easier without the pressure of a serious mother-in-law.

Even though the father-in-law has a leg disease, there is no need for the daughter-in-law to take care of him. She can just go to visit him with Wei Ying every few days. As long as she manages the Duke's Mansion well and doesn't let it become a sieve, the outside world will not know the details inside, especially things that only her personal maid knows, and she will not be talked about by those irrelevant people.

After Qingli had a leisurely breakfast, she went to the pond in the mansion to admire the lotus flowers. She asked someone to row a small boat over and she sat on it herself to pick a few lotus flowers.

On the way back, she personally held a pink and a moon-white lotus, which matched with her light green dress, looking very fresh and bright.

The maid held the picked lotus seeds in her left hand and a dozen lotus flowers in her right hand.

Wei Ying, who had just returned home, saw the person in front of him, his eyes lit up and he walked towards him quickly.

"Madam, this lotus is so lucky to be favored by a beautiful woman."

Qingli smiled and said, "No wonder my husband has won my heart. I love to hear it. Have you just returned from court?"

"Yes, ma'am, I'll help you carry it. It's heavy for you to carry."

Qingli looked at Wei Ying who was holding the lotus. He was dressed in court robes with a serious and cold air, but the pink and white lotus diluted the solemnity and made him look a little softer.

After returning to the room, she found a nice vase and put the lotus in it. Then Wei Ying changed her clothes and came out.

After the cakes and tea were served, Qingli waved away the servants and closed the door. The couple talked in front of the window.

Looking out the window, you can see Qiulan sitting in the yard embroidering clothes, and Chunlan lecturing a little maid not far away. There are many pairs of eyes staring at them, but no one dares to eavesdrop outside the window.

Pulling down the translucent gauze curtain, the sunlight shines through, creating a hazy feeling. The couple drinks tea and chats.

Wei Ying was urgently summoned last night and attended the morning court today. Only then did Qingli ask him about the specific matter.

It turned out that before Concubine Jia died yesterday, she handed the evidence of Concubine Tian's intention to murder her son Zhao Jing to the emperor, and asked the emperor to register her son under the name of the queen and let the queen take care of him. She closed her eyes only after the emperor agreed.

The emperor hugged Zhao Jing, who was crying non-stop, and flew into a rage. He immediately dealt with those who were disloyal to Zhao Jing. When Concubine Jia died, the Qixia Palace had to be used for funeral ceremonies, and it was not suitable for a child like Zhao Jing to live in, so the emperor took him back.

When Concubine Tian returned to the palace, she went to see the emperor. It was unknown what she said, but the emperor cursed her as a vicious woman and immediately issued an edict to the palace, ordering Zhao Jing to be made the crown prince.

"Alas, Madam, you don't know. The expressions of those ministers last night were hilarious. Every one of them suspected that the emperor had become senile and confused. Everyone opposed the appointment of a six-year-old princess as crown prince. I followed the crowd and expressed my opposition."

"The Marquis of Zhongshan directly said that Concubine Jia and the Fifteenth Princess were evildoers who were deceiving the emperor."

"When His Majesty announced that the Fifteenth Princess was the Ninth Prince and that she had only been presented as his daughter to protect him, the scene was quite awkward. No one spoke. It wasn't until the Emperor reiterated the issue of the crown prince that everyone began to express their opinions."

Qingli thought that if she were her father, she would probably complain about the emperor dozens of times in her heart. The upbringing of princesses and princes is completely different. The prince already has many tutors at the age of three, and he also has a study companion at the age of six.

Before, Zhao Jing was detained in the deep palace. He had no great scholars or generals to teach him, and no study companions. No one knew what his situation was. Now, as soon as the emperor opened his mouth, the ministers had to agree with him and make a child the crown prince. He was dreaming.

Everyone thought that Zhao Yu was going to take the throne, and there was no shortage of people betting on him.

So except for one or two ministers, no one else agreed. Even Prince Heshun questioned Zhao Jing's status as a prince.
