I don't know if it's because Cui Mingde is in front of me, I quickly calmed down, stared at Wu Chenghe's name for a long time, and gradually regained my clue: "A-Niang won't immediately establish Wu Chenghei as the heir." ”

In the final analysis, the foundation of her ruling is the Li family, Li Rui and Li Dan are the guarantee of her power, even if she ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, she must leave a thought for the ministers. However, no one knows whether he will establish a military heir now, and whether he will succeed in the future.

I vaguely remember that in another history, there was a dispute between a son or a nephew, although the mother in that history finally set up a son, but there can be such a dispute, it shows that the mother's heart is not firm - maybe it is really not firm, maybe it just does not want to be firm, in any case, just such an unfirm attitude is enough to leave countless opportunities for the world to drill camps.

With such an opportunity to drill camp, the samurai will definitely try to increase their bargaining chips, and asking to marry me is one of them.

I pondered for a moment before slowly saying my thoughts: "If it is an heir, Brother Rui is a person who has been deposed once, and he is unexpected, but Dan'er is more suitable, and he must be established in a short period of time, if he is a few years old, the world is used to the Wu clan being the country, then it will be different." Brother Rui is far away, and Dan'er is separated by another layer of blood, and the two of them are not martial arts surnames, so there is always a gap. But Wu Chenghe's several nephews who are not close to each other are just a few nephews born to half-brothers who are not close - it is still a little difficult to choose between a nephew who has inherited his family name and a grandson who is not the same surname, if he is a nephew and a son-in-law, it is very different. ”

Cui Mingde looked at me with a smile, she rarely had such a smile, and for a moment it reminded me of the appearance of the masters who inspected their homework and felt quite entered: "If you are not only a nephew, but also a son-in-law, or the head of the clan and the leader of the family, is it the expectation that everyone is going to be the prince?"

I looked up at her: "The unheard of female emperor, with a weak foundation, no blood relationship, and old age, will not want a prince who is in the prime of life and is expected by everyone - as long as I think about this clearly, A-Niang will not want me to marry him." ”

Cui Mingde nodded, and shook his head again: "But the Queen Mother must want you to marry the Wu family." ”

I didn't wait for her to explain, I said first: "Although Zhuwu is gradually being reused, after all, it is not a big family, the time to enter the office is still short, and there is no outstanding person, and it is urgent to marry to raise the value, and the second is the heart of the elders, always hoping that the children and nephews will be friendly, and the friendship will be forever knotted, and the third is to connect the two families of Li Wu in one place, or to avoid disputes." Am I right?"

Cui Mingde smiled faintly: "The four martial arts will not attack you from now on, she can ensure your well-being." ”

I frowned at her, "Me?"

Cui Mingde said: "The saint is young and should not do anything, the king of Luling is far away on the border, the clan is either slaughtered, or the day is not safe, now the Li family can only count on you, if you don't marry into the martial family, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not attack you - they have so many people, watching day and night, you are not an extremely cautious person, once you are caught something, it is the queen mother, and it may not be able to protect you." ”

I stared at her: "A-Niang, as the queen mother, if she ascends the throne, she will be the son of real power, once something happens, will she really not be able to protect me, or will she not want to protect me?"

Cui Mingde lowered his head and combed the silk on his clothes and said: "Whether you can keep it or not, if you don't marry you, there will always be such troubles." Such as Han Wu and Sui Wen, the son of the eldest can still be killed, let alone a daughter. Even if you regret it later, build some monuments to remember, and kill people to vent your anger, what good will it do in the past?"

I was silent for a long time, and then said, "I remember that when you threw yourself at me, it was because I was a daughter and I didn't get involved in the prince's dispute?"

Cui Mingde kept his hands on it, but just smiled and said, "Huh?"

I looked at her: "If I marry the martial family, in the eyes of outsiders, it is a bias, and if you are good friends with me, are you not afraid?"

Cui Mingde raised his head and said with a slight smile: "At that time, the two flags were equal, and they were not as far as the queen of heaven, but now that the martial arts are dominant, what does it matter if they favor them?"

She definitely didn't mean it. I also lowered my head like her, patted my sleeve casually, and looked up again with confidence: "I don't want to get married, you can teach me earlier, don't be afraid that I won't be able to do it." ”

Cui Mingde looked at me for a long time before he smiled and said: "I'm afraid that if I teach you, you will blame me when the time comes, not only you, but I'm afraid your good sister-in-law will also hate me." ”

I raised an eyebrow at her: "If you don't say it, I can guess it." A-Niang just doesn't want me to be involved in the dispute between Li Wu, as long as I can't interfere with these things, and then force it with her, there is always hope... "The only thing I can rely on is my identity as a princess of the Li family, if I can change my surname... I'm afraid that changing my surname is far from enough, I looked at Cui Mingde thoughtfully, and said tentatively: "What do you mean, do you want me to become a monk?" A few years ago, the fact that I couldn't eat meat still made me a little distressed, but now, vegetarianism is not a big deal for me, except for vegetarianism, it is nothing more than going out less, watching less plays, and less banquets, these are not my favorites, and if there is less, there will be less.

Cui Mingde smiled: "Even if I want you to marry, I won't give you a marriage right away." You don't have to be in such a hurry, wait until you think clearly, and then ask me. ”

I looked at her with some displeasure: "I told you a long time ago that I don't like what you hide from me, and I don't understand something." "I've beaten her again and again since Ah Huan got tired of winning, and she wasn't allowed to hide from me to do some small tricks in private, but she did it a few years ago, but now she is back in the same vein, which is really hateful.

Cui Mingde said: "You have already said what you should say, and I have nothing to hide." After a pause, he said, "If you are outside the palace, it is very convenient to go out and meet people." Even if you are a monk, you may not be involved in the government..."Speaking of this, she raised her eyebrows and looked at me, I already understood what she meant, but for some reason, I felt a little funny: "You think this matter is very difficult?"

She looked at me fixedly: "Do you think it is not difficult? There may not be a time limit for such a thing, one month, three months is acceptable, one year, three years, five years, can you do it?"

I smiled and said, "If it were someone else, I wouldn't dare to say, but if it was me, it would be okay to live in a room for ten years, I was once a famous housemaid." ”

She didn't ask me what I meant by "otaku", but continued to look at me: "What if you can't even see Wei Huan and King Luling?"

I couldn't laugh.

Cui Mingde still looked at me: "The Queen Mother is only one daughter, she will never treat you badly, and there will always be palace servants." But day after day, I just stayed in the exact same place, and I could only listen to some ethereal scriptures to pass the time. You can't get out, people can't get in. There is no person you want to meet, no things you want to do, no contact with the outside world, and you can't hear about your good sister-in-law and nephew, can you stand it?"

I said softly, "Not necessarily. ”

Cui Mingde also said softly: "It may not end here, but it may not end here." And even then, it doesn't necessarily mean you're in good hands. That's why I said, wait until you think about it. ”

I looked at her: "Are you determined to explain it to me, that's why you said such things?"

She smiled: "You married into the martial family, I naturally don't want to follow you, you forcibly refuse to marry into the martial family... I am very grateful that you promoted me to the Shang Palace, so that I could counsel the government in front of the Queen Mother, hear about military affairs, and take care of Dugu Shao. ”

I said, "Listening to you, it seems that I will definitely get married." ”

She stared at me: "You are the only daughter of the Queen Mother, and the Wu family still has to point to the Queen Mother, so they don't dare to restrain you, and then choose someone who is honest all your life, and then you can marry into the Wu family by your temperament, which is not necessarily a bad thing for you and Wei Huan." I think even if Wei Huan is here, most of them will persuade you to marry. ”

For some reason, I had a faint impatience with her: "For you, things like feelings and marriage are always determined by interests, right?"

Cui Mingde's eyes were meaningful: "Emotional matters are naturally decided by yourself, and marriage matters are decided by your parents and elders." ”

I said, "I've thought about it, don't get married." "I was afraid that Cui Mingde would persuade me, so I specially closed my eyes to show my determination. She didn't persuade me, she was silent on one side for a long time, but asked me a question that was unrelated: "Erniang and Wei Huan have come to this point, have you ever regretted it?"

I opened my eyes in confusion: "Regret, how can I not regret it." But it's not the regrets you think. I hated myself for not being able to confess to her earlier, so much so that she actually married Brother Rui. I hate myself for not being stronger, I can protect her for the rest of my life. I hated myself for not being reincarnated as a man who could be with her in the open. I hated myself for not being able to meet her in a better time, when there were no such unruly and obnoxious rules and rituals—but I regretted that I had met her. "To meet is to meet, to like is to like, since there is nothing to change, there is no need to be meaningless entanglement - this is what Ah Huan taught me.

Cui Mingde looked at me deeply and didn't say a word. 166 Reading Network
