Chapter 161 Humble Love for One Person

Ye Qingge was quite surprised by the sudden downfall of the Lin family. Although it was a relief, it was too sudden.

She went to Xiao Lingche to verify it, but he denied it. It turned out that he didn't do it. Ye Qingge originally thought that it was Xiao Lingche's work.

I can't help feeling a little disappointed, but maybe the emperor has long disliked the Lin family and is taking this opportunity to bring them down.

I have to say that the emperor is really powerful. He first demoted Lin Zhenhai's right-hand man and lowered his official position slightly, and then slowly took away his power. When he had no supporters left, he struck hard and wiped him out.

As expected of a high-ranking official, his vision and strategy are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

After the Lin family fell, the gray industry behind them was also cut off. Before, Lin Zhenhai used his power to stock up salt at low prices and then sell it at high prices, making the people suffer.

Now, the price of salt has returned to normal. Not only that, the emperor also took this opportunity to establish a central grain depot, buying the excess grain in the hands of the people at a price twice as high as the market price, to provide disaster relief or solve problems such as inflation caused by the market economy.

……

"What should I do if the emperor does this and I start to admire him a little bit?"

Ye Qingge held her chin with both hands, as if she was really thinking about this problem seriously.

Xie Qing asked in confusion

"Sister, do you have such a strong taste?"

Although the emperor is a little old, he still has his charm. But Sister Ye is young and beautiful, so she can't really fall in love with the emperor.

Ye Qingge burst out laughing

"What are you thinking? I just admire him, not like him."

"That's good, that's good"

Xie Qing patted her heart. She really took it seriously.

Ye Qingge touched her head. Ever since she was rejected by the Sixth Prince during the last plum blossom viewing event, she has worked hard and has come to see Ye Qingge every day.

"Look at you, you're as fat as a pig. I won't like you. I will never like you in my entire life! Don't bother me anymore. I feel disgusted."

That night, the Sixth Prince's words echoed in Xie Qing's ears all the time, piercing her heart like a needle.

She had thought about losing weight before, but she was inconsistent. She did lose some weight, but it was not noticeable to the naked eye.

After that night, she finally made up her mind to exercise every day, control her diet, and take medicine. She didn't believe she couldn't lose weight, not for anything else, but for herself.

As for the Sixth Prince, just get out of here as far as you can. She doesn't love him anymore. It's not a pleasant feeling to have your self-esteem trampled on countless times by others.

Ye Qingge was very happy that Xie Qing was able to get over the sadness of a broken heart. Uh... although she had always been in unrequited love, but seeing her slowly losing weight and becoming more and more confident, Ye Qingge was very pleased. This is what a girl should be like.

Penal Department

"The Emperor has been acting with great vigor and determination lately, as if he has become a different person."

Li Yu poured a cup of tea for Xiao Lingche, only to see Xiao Lingche frowning.

He also felt strange, and felt that there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers around his father, but he went to the palace several times and found nothing unusual.

This made him feel a sense of crisis for the first time. In fact, he was the most popular candidate in the court. No matter from which perspective, he was the best candidate to be the crown prince.

But the emperor has been reluctant to remove my fifth brother from the position of crown prince. I don't know what he is thinking.

The prince has been recuperating outside for a long time and has no idea about the affairs of the court. In addition, he has a leg disease and is unable to take on such a big responsibility.

Xiao Lingche was not interested in that position. He had worked hard for many years just to have a place to settle down.

But now he even has difficulty getting back his mother's belongings. Can he really live in peace like this?

He had mentioned his mother's belongings to his father, and his father had also asked Concubine Rong, but Concubine Rong insisted that there were no relics of his mother, and his father was helpless.

He was afraid that one day, the mother and son of King Rui would use this to threaten him again.

Perhaps if he took that position, no one would dare to threaten him anymore, and he would be able to give Qingge a peaceful life...

Royal Palace

The prince and the emperor were playing chess, and they dismissed the palace servants around them.

"The suggestion made by Ye'er has indeed been very effective. Now that the hidden dangers that have plagued the court for many years have been eliminated, the people are living and working in peace and contentment. As a father, I am very happy."

The prince smiled and said

"It is my duty as a son to share my father's worries."

"Um"

The emperor nodded in satisfaction. Since his son's leg healed, he has become full of energy and has begun to help him share some state affairs and make suggestions. Moreover, the results of his suggestions have been unexpectedly good.

The emperor was very pleased, but he was still a little worried because Ye'er had not participated in government affairs and there were very few people around him who supported him. He was afraid that when he abdicated, Ye'er would find it difficult to convince the people.

Now Che'er has many supporters in the court, and he is also very outstanding. His two sons are both his flesh and blood, which makes him a little embarrassed.

The prince seemed to see his father's dilemma, and he comforted him.

"Father, you are still young, so don't worry about me. Although I currently hold the position of Crown Prince, those in high positions should choose the most virtuous and capable. As long as it can benefit the people and make Dongling Kingdom stronger, then I am willing to give up this position."

The prince's understanding made the emperor feel a little distressed. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't walk, which made him stay in seclusion for so many years, he would have a place in the court now.

"Ye'er, it is your father who has wronged you."

He failed to protect his son.

The prince shook his head and said

"Father, please don't say that. Although I am not in the court, I have gained a lot of experience outside."

These valuable experiences are much more useful than those learned in the court.

More importantly, if his leg had not been injured and he had not gone to Hua Man Lou, he would not have had the opportunity to contact Ye Qingge.

The emperor felt relieved after hearing the prince's words. Ye'er was so open-minded. Perhaps he had learned a lot during these years. Otherwise, he would not have such a strategy.

"Ye'er, are you leaving again after you come back this time?"

Every time he left, he would be gone for a long time. This time, he came back suddenly, which surprised the emperor.

"Father, I will not leave."

"That's good. You can help me share some state affairs when you come back."

"I obey your command."

After a while, the emperor thought of something and asked again

"Does Ye'er know that the girl from the Ye family is getting married?"

The prince was not as sensitive as before, but said calmly

"I already know that she is going to marry Prince Xuan."

His attitude made the emperor a little confused. Didn't he care about it before? How could he let it go so quickly?

"Aren't you sad?"

The emperor asked what he was thinking

"I'm sad, but I respect her choice. As long as she's happy, I'm happy too."

Alas, the emperor couldn't bear to expose him, liking someone so humbly
