Chapter 443 They're all scheming against her
Dongfang Jin...
Emma, what does all this mean?
She has plenty of flowers in her space.
But if she takes out so much money at once, her cousin, the emperor, will definitely not let her off the hook.
Just as she finished muttering her jinx about the emperor, Eunuch Anshun's voice came from behind her.
"Your Majesty has arrived."
Dongfang Jin!!!
Well, my knees are going to suffer again.
Before the others could even bow, Cang Lingyuan strode over with steady and powerful steps.
He raised his hand in a gesture of support and said gently, "My dear ministers, there is no need for formalities. Today we are at the Imperial Uncle's house."
"Since you are all my elders, please excuse these formalities."
However, everyone still stepped forward respectfully, cupping their hands and bowing in greeting.
The Duke of Su said solemnly with a serious expression, "Your Majesty, etiquette cannot be disregarded."
Although, apart from the Duke of Fuguo, the others have all retired from the court.
But the person before me is, after all, the ruler of a country, and the proper etiquette between ruler and subject cannot be taken lightly.
Cang Lingyuan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping gently over everyone, and asked with some curiosity, "What were you all discussing just now?"
The Duke of Zhenguo raised his hand, pointed to the garden, and said with a hint of sourness, "Look, Your Majesty, aren't you envious of this garden?"
Cang Lingyuan looked in the direction the Duke of Zhenguo pointed and repeated softly, "The Garden?"
Then, his gaze fell on his uncle, and then on his cousin Dongfang Jin, who was hiding behind his uncle.
A calculating thought crossed her mind, tinged with a hint of inquiry: "Cousin, this flower clock... are you looking at my royal garden?"
After a brief pause and raising an eyebrow, he continued, "But there's no rush right now."
"The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is only ten days away, and the palace still lacks some unique decorations. Do you have any ideas?"
Dongfang Jin...
Is this never going to end?
"What do you need? Make a list, and I'll have Xiao Jin deliver it to you." His words were somewhat cold.
Ignoring everything else, Cang Lingyuan stared at Dongfang Jin's frustrated little face and nodded in satisfaction: "Okay."
After saying that, his hand subconsciously reached for his waist, where Gu Chenglin had just given him the Qiankun bag.
It contains everything used in this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
Cangnan sighed, rubbing his forehead, and came again.
Royal Garden?
It was twice the size of his palace garden.
How much would the daughter have to give up?
Duke Rongguo, Gu Haozhen, slowly shook his head, a helpless smile on his face.
He looked at Dongfang Jin and said, "Daughter-in-law, take a look at the garden in our mansion?"
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jin couldn't help but purse her lips: "Change it. You decide how you want it done. Make a list and I'll prepare it for you."
Just then, she saw Gu Chenglin walking over with her second brother, and a surge of grievance welled up in her heart.
She ran over in a few steps and threw herself into Gu Chenglin's arms, her eyes red and brimming with tears.
With a sob in her voice, she said, "I want to go home, back to Lingwu Village."
Cangnan rests...
His daughter doesn't come to him when she's wronged.
She lunged at her man.
Cang Lingyuan...
Back to Lingwu Village?
This won't do; we just managed to trick them into coming back.
Was he asking for too much?
Dukes of the States...
Are they being a bit "bully"?
Gu Chenglin looked at her like this, and then glanced at the elders beside him.
His eyes were full of helplessness and doting affection. He gently patted her back and coaxed her softly, "Alright, alright."
You take what they want, and the rest is up to me and my second brother, okay?
These things are plentiful in the Realm of Wishes; one person voluntarily gives them away, while another is forced to take them.
The difference in price is significant.
It seems that this group of people conspired to frame her, and her father and father-in-law were "accomplices."
Cang Lingxuan noticed the wink his father gave him and instantly understood.
He secretly thought to himself, "It seems these old guys have teamed up again to try and get something out of my sister."
So he quickly said, "Little sister, Grandma is looking for you, go and see her."
Sigh, these old guys, they're really clinging to their sister!
Gu Chenglin bowed respectfully to everyone, his attitude humble: "Cousin (Emperor), Father (Father-in-law), Father (Duke Rongguo), I will take Xiaojin and leave first."
Cang Lingyuan smiled and looked at everyone, his expression gentle: "Alright, cousin, you can go with Cheng Lin now."
Sigh, it seems he's really going to get serious this time.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jin felt as if she had received a pardon, and she grabbed Gu Chenglin and hurriedly ran away.
The crowd stared at her disheveled figure as she fled, momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter.
Duke Rong looked around at everyone and said in a feigned reproach, "You lot are really shameless."
Now I finally understand why my daughter-in-law doesn't want to stay in Beijing.
Upon hearing this, the Duke of Zhenguo immediately pointed his finger at the Duke of Rongguo.
With a teasing smile on his face, he said, "Don't show off here, his own father is right here."
Besides, it's just that what your daughter-in-law has is too tempting.
And besides, she's spoiled our tastes!
Duke Su said with a smile, "Yes, ever since I ate the things that girl gave me."
The things the manor buys are truly unpalatable.
The Duke of Zhenguo nodded hurriedly and echoed, "That's right! Ever since I first tasted the honey she sent, my health has improved day by day."
As he spoke, he enthusiastically stretched his arms and kicked his legs, performing a set of military boxing.
"As you all know, my leg hurts so much that I break out in a cold sweat when it's cloudy or rainy."
Sometimes the pain is so intense that it keeps me up all night.
But look at me now, I'm as strong and vigorous as a tiger!
Even if we were to return to the battlefield to fight the enemy, it would be no problem!
His vivid demonstration and words made everyone burst into laughter.
Everyone present knew perfectly well that in recent years, regardless of the abundance of crops in the fields...
The generous dividends from Lingyunge's factories also bring in substantial profits.
And all of this is thanks to that girl.
Thinking of this, they sometimes felt guilty, feeling that they had been too harsh on that girl, as if they had bullied her.
Cang Lingyuan looked at these old guys, and his hand unconsciously went to his waist again.
He secretly wondered if he had taken too much.
Just then, Cang Linchuan pulled his younger brother over and respectfully bowed to Cang Lingyuan and the others.
He said respectfully, "Father, Grandfather, Imperial Tutor, Duke Zhenguo, Duke Su, Duke Fu, Uncle An."
Cang Yanchuan and Cang Yanbei followed suit, bowing respectfully: "Greetings, Your Majesty, Grandfather, and all other grandfathers."
Cang Lingyuan smiled and patted the heads of the four children. He looked at his youngest son with a gentle expression and asked softly, "Did you have a good time at Grandpa's house?"
The Second Prince, Cang Qichuan, nodded hurriedly, his face beaming with excitement.
She said, "Father, Auntie gave us lots of delicious food and played games with us!"
Cang Lingyuan bent down slightly, looking at his youngest son with eyes full of affection: "Little Bean, do you like your aunt?"
Cang Qichuan nodded vigorously and answered crisply, "I like it!"
The Imperial Tutor glanced at the Emperor, then turned to look at Cang Nanxi, shaking his head helplessly, thinking: This girl's scheming never ends.
Seeing the look in the Imperial Tutor's eyes, Cang Nanxi could only look up at the sky in silence.
He sighed to himself: his daughter hadn't even given birth to a biological child yet, but she had already raised two stepsons, and later even a prince.
Now, this emperor's nephew is planning to send the second prince to his daughter's side.
Before the group could exchange more than a few words, Dongping, who was standing next to the Empress, rushed over in a hurry.
Upon seeing Cang Lingyuan, Dongping knelt down with a thud.
Her eyes reddened, and her voice carried a mixture of urgency and joy: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the Empress... the Empress is pregnant!"
Upon hearing this, Cang Lingyuan froze instantly, his face filled with disbelief.
His voice trembled with excitement: "What, what did you say? Say it again?"
Dongping quickly repeated, his eyes sparkling with joy: "Your Majesty, the Empress is pregnant, and she is already more than a month along."
Just now, while the Empress and the Princess Consort were chatting, Qingwu brought chicken soup to the Princess Consort.
The Empress was probably nearby and smelled the chicken soup, so she immediately started vomiting…
After that, Dongping recounted the whole story in detail.
