Why are you messing with her? She is full of space beasts.

Chapter 369: Conferring the Crown Prince

"Then listen to the Queen Mother!"

When the emperor said this, Duke Ji's heart sank and he looked at the queen. The queen gave him a reassuring look, but the sadness on Duke Ji's face did not diminish.

The emperor's eyes fell on the crown prince of the Western Jin Dynasty and he said with a smile, "Crown prince of the Western Jin Dynasty, how about my third prince marrying your country's second princess?"

Murong Yun stood up, cupped his hands, and said with a smile: "It's up to the emperor to decide!"

"Okay, okay~"

The emperor laughed a few times and Murong Yun's mouth curled up. As long as his goal was achieved, it would be fine. As for Ning'er... he would keep her safe.

When Murong Ning heard that the marriage had been settled, she was filled with sorrow, "Brother, why did you want Ning'er to marry that failed and immoral Third Prince? And that Third Prince was married twice..."

Murong Ning's heart sank when she thought of this. How could she be willing to be someone else's mistress as she was a princess of a country!

"Ning'er, the three princes' first two wives are no longer with us. If you marry him, you will be his principal wife."

Murong Yun comforted her, saying that he didn't want his sister to marry Jun Linyu. After all, Jun Linyu was too sinister and ruthless. For the sake of profit or to achieve his goals, he could sacrifice everyone around him, such as his two women and the unborn child. Ning'er marrying him was just a temporary measure, and she was the nominal consort of the third prince.

The Queen Mother glanced at the people whispering below and spoke quietly.

"Since the marriage has been decided, Emperor, why not appoint the crown prince now?"

Concubine Qing's heart suddenly became excited, and her eyes unconsciously fell on the ministers below.

"This... Mother, isn't it too hasty to deal with the Crown Prince's affairs?"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the empress dowager glared at him and asked, "If you don't do it now, when will you do it?"

The emperor's eyes fell on the queen, and the queen nodded. The queen dowager's intention was very obvious. On the one hand, it could dispel Jun Linyu's thoughts, and on the other hand, it could have someone to suppress him. As for who this person was, everyone knew it well.

"Eunuch Min, bring me the imperial edict I have prepared."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Min quickly disappeared from everyone's sight. Who could this prince be?

What the emperor just said was the drafted imperial edict, so first of all, excluding the sent back Jun Linyu, the only ones left are the adult second prince Jun Lintian and the nine-year-old sixth prince Jun Linqi.

Concubine Qing was extremely excited. Her Qi'er would definitely be the crown prince. As for that incompetent second prince, she had her own way to prevent him from becoming the crown prince.

Even Jun Luoli straightened her body unconsciously and glanced at Jun Lintian and Jun Buhui with arrogance.

Ji Jiuying was only focused on drinking tea. Although she tried hard to reduce her presence, many eyes were still on her at the banquet. The most overly passionate gaze was coming from right in front of her.

[Xiaojiu, that time, I couldn’t go to the academy to help you because, my father was sick~ so...]

Murong Zheng's voice came in her mind, and Ji Jiuying's eyes flickered slightly. Murong Zheng spoke much more fluently now. It seemed that he was willing to communicate with others now.

[You don't have to blame yourself. I won't blame you. ]

Ji Jiuying said.

Hearing him say this, Murong Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. He thought she would blame him.

【What happened to your father? 】

[He, he fell ill, very seriously~]

Ji Jiuying recalled the last time she saw the Emperor of Western Jin. He did not seem to be ill, but the thing that was most lacking in this palace was intrigue and deception. She thought that this matter was related to Murong Yun. It would not be long before Murong Yun would become the new emperor of Western Jin.

【Then why did you come to Cang Yue? 】

[My father asked me to go out for a walk with my brother, but I didn't want to. I just wanted to come and see you.]

Ji Jiuying's gaze fell on Murong Yun. This man was so scheming and ambitious. Wasn't the Emperor of Western Jin afraid that he would kill Murong Zheng?

However, Murong Zheng posed no threat to him. He was strong and easy to control. Murong Yun would not attack Murong Zheng. There was another important reason. The Emperor of Western Jin loved Murong Zheng so much that he must have thought of this step a long time ago and made all the plans. Otherwise, once Murong Yun came to power, the first person he would kill would be Murong Zheng.

Ji Jiuying ignored Murong Zheng only because she saw Eunuch Min walking towards her not far away.

"Sister Xiaojiu, guess who will be the crown prince? I know!" Jun Buhui pulled Ji Jiuying's sleeve and said in a low voice.

Ji Jiuying was a little surprised and asked with a smile: "Is it your royal brother?"

"Sister Xiaojiu, you are so smart. You guessed it right!"

Jun Buhui smiled happily, Ji Jiuying curled the corners of her mouth. It was not that she was smart, but her answer was all written on her face.

Seeing the arrival of Eunuch Min, everyone was extremely excited. Some court officials supported the Second Prince Jun Lintian, while others supported the Sixth Prince Jun Linqi.

Although Jun Linqi is still young, he is smart and has been deeply loved by the emperor during this period. Although Jun Lintian is the queen's son and has entered the Star Academy, he has been idle and traveling around for the past decade. People say that he is a stupid prince and a perfect match for Ji Jiuying, a good-for-nothing. However, Ji Jiuying has already gotten rid of the title of good-for-nothing and become a big figure in Cangming Continent, but Jun Lintian is still the same. Being able to stay alive is his greatest ability, so how can he have the ability to govern a country?

"Eunuch Min, please read the imperial edict!"

The emperor spoke.

"Yes."

Eunuch Min coughed lightly and opened the imperial edict.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: There is a prince who reigns supreme. He is intelligent, wise, virtuous, and talented. He is the heir to the throne. I, in compliance with your instructions, appoint him Crown Prince as a token of your great grace. I decree this."

The whole audience was silent, some were happy and some were sad!

Concubine Qing sat weakly on the chair, looking at the imperial edict with reluctance.

Jun Luoli lost her arrogance and stared at the imperial edict. How could this happen? The position of the crown prince should belong to her younger brother.

"Tian'er, why don't you go and receive the imperial edict?"

Even though he already knew the answer and had no interest in the throne, he had to accept the reality. After Jun Lintian came to his senses, he came to the center of the hall and knelt down to pay his respects.

"Thank you, Father, Mother, and Grandma!"

Jun Lintian took the imperial edict and returned to his seat.

"Do you have anything else to say, my dear ministers?"

The emperor smiled and said, it can be seen that he is in a good mood at this time! But there will always be someone to break this joy.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the Second Prince may not be qualified for the position of Crown Prince..." Minister He of the Ministry of Revenue hesitated to speak.

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince is a playboy by nature, and has never been involved in government affairs for a single day. He is indeed not the best candidate for the Crown Prince."

"Your Majesty, I second the proposal!"

With this opening salvo, all the court officials who supported the Sixth Prince jumped out one after another.
