"Step-nephew?"

Chen Xuan saw that Qin Wan's expression was calm, and he didn't seem to have the intention of getting angry, and he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, but he still dutifully replied: "Mu Xiang and Wei Xiang don't know what to do, but Jiang Xiang and Zhang Xiang have this idea. Not only that, but according to the news from the Lijing Gate, most of the important ministers who support you mean this. ”

Having said that, he also knew in his heart that many people didn't support Qin Wan at all, but they just had no way and reluctantly agreed.

Princess Jiangdu is powerful, and now she wants that dragon chair, what can she do if she doesn't follow her? In the end, it is a royal matter, and how many people are willing to gamble with their lives on a big gamble with almost no chance of winning? Even if he wants to pursue a clear name, he can't stand the hard persuasion of his wife, children and mother, don't lose his life for the sake of temporary fame.

In the face of power, Neng Ning is a minority after all, most people feel that the emperor and queen are messing up, and the king of Chu and the king of Yan are also pretending to be deaf and dumb, they don't want the throne, let alone reputation, why should they interfere in other people's family affairs? It's better to take a compromise approach, first follow Princess Jiangdu, let her get her wish, and save the royal bloodline as much as possible. lest she be provoked to get on that chair, she was really mad, and directly killed all her brothers and nephews, cutting off the inheritance of the royal bloodline.

This "bloodline", of course, is limited to men.

Chen Xuan is not optimistic about the ideas of these people, but he knows that men are always like this, and they often do not hand over the family business to people other than their children and grandchildren, but they always feel that it is a matter of course for his wife to raise a concubine for him to inherit the family business, who makes you unable to give birth?

The idea of "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is useless at this point, because in the eyes of most men, this "man" refers to a man, and women as a means of procreation are not counted.

Qin Wan didn't get angry, but instead of that, he showed a faint smile: "Since you support it, it's easy to do." ”

These important ministers of the court value face and reputation the most, and since they don't care about it and decide to support her to ascend to the high position, it will be fine. The first step has already been taken, and if you want to get off the ship, it will be difficult. Who will not be appointed after that, and whether it will be succeeded or not, can they decide?

Chen Xuan understood, thought of one thing, hesitated for a moment, thought of Qin Wan Suri's temper, and still had the courage to ask: "Your Highness, where is the little grandfather ......?"

Halfway through his words, he found that Qin Wan's gaze was colder than the blade, which made him feel like he wanted to kneel. understood that he might be troubled, but Chen Xuan still suppressed his fear and adopted a more tactful tone: "For the safety of the little grandfather, do you want to send more people?" ”

Qin Wan was silent for a moment before he said, "That's it for now." She really didn't want to send someone to spy on her eldest son, and she felt guilty about that child.

Thinking of this, Qin Wan's feelings were a little low, but he didn't let Chen Xuan see it, but just instructed the newly appointed internal supervisor on the side, Kuang Min's godson Luo Liang: "You send someone to invite Xu Zhi to come and say that I have something to discuss with him." ”

Chen Xuan knew that Qin Wan didn't want to continue this topic, at least not with him, so he retreated, but he was thinking about this matter in private.

Qin Wan stared at Chen Xuan's back, his eyes darkening.

As soon as Pei Xi came in, when he saw her like this, he said strangely: "What? Who messed with you again? ”

"I'm just thinking about how to solve this momentum of assertion." Qin Wan threw a meaningful glance at Pei Xi, indicating that it was you who made a bad start, but Pei Xi was not weak at all, but laughed: "What? Finally willing to face Suvo? ”

Qin Wan sighed, his expression a little gloomy.

When she was young, she didn't like Suvo's eldest son very much.

Probably because she was too young, although she intellectually accepted the political marriage, emotionally she looked down on her so-called husband's family and husband, and even with this child, she didn't put her feelings into it - she didn't grow up under her knees, she was close to her father, she was young and intelligent but had a cold personality, and she was the product of the political marriage.

Although she knew in her heart that a large part of these things were her fault. Not only her connivance, but also because she didn't treat her son as a pure son, she regarded a qiē as too rational, and she was a little too utilitarian and indifferent in doing things, which led to the occurrence of this qiē. But as she got older, her mind gradually changed, and she was able to look at the past with maturity and calmness. But at this time, even if you want her to be close to her eldest son, you can't get close.

The thoughts of those important ministers seem to be whimsical, but they reveal a cruel truth.

In this world, the traces of the paternal line are too heavy, too heavy.

Qin Wan wants to be the emperor and wants his child to be the heir, so the child's father is bound to not be able to choose a father to be prosperous, or even a capable person. This is also the reason why a declining and third-rate Anding Bofu in Chang'an, once it is possible that it is Yan Linge's father, not only did she not open the net, but she also sentenced her to a heavy sentence, so that the other party could never turn over.

The Su family, even though it is not visible now, is still a big family. Because of this, Suvo can only be a courtier, and definitely cannot be a royal person. Otherwise, who knew that he would not be despised by the Qin royal family, so he would reuse the Su family in one go, and finally simply change his surname to Su? Anyway, his ancestors have countless celebrities, and there is no shame in taking them out.

"It's my fault." These heartfelt words, Qin Wan will not tell her parents, she has no choice but to let her beloved daughter marry, which is always the heartache of this supreme couple in the world, she can only confide in Pei Xi, "Back then, I was too young to know how to be a mother. Later, I just wanted to, but I couldn't help it, that kid hated me, and it should be. ”

Su Wo's dissatisfaction with Qin Wan, of course Pei Xi knows, or rather, people who pay attention to Princess Jiangdu will never miss her eldest son, so everyone knows that even if Princess Dayi always talks about Qin Wan's exploits in Su Wo's ear, but for a child, he has not been around since he was a child, and he can't give him anything except glory and wealth, and later he has a mother who has a second son with others, and there is really nothing to like.

Pei Xi could understand Qin Wan's complicated mentality, but he couldn't empathize, so he said lightly: "If he can hate you all the time, you don't have to hang him high, stay in Chang'an all the time, and let him out to be a feudal official." With that, he changed his words and said crisply, "The more this is the case, the more you can't be negligent with the other two." ”

Qin Wan smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Negligence? I can see them a few times a day, and I can spend half of my time with them, which is good. ”

Compared to the love her parents gave her, she really didn't deserve the word.

Panicked but helpless, his parents were getting old day by day, and then thinking about himself, Qin Wan was indeed a little difficult to let go of some of the unmellow practices when he was young. In the case of her now, maybe she can do it more completely, and she can find a way to do both.

"Half an hour, that's enough." Pei Xi said very simply, "There are so many top families in Chang'an, and there are very few heads of the family who can accompany their children for half an hour every day, let alone the royal family." There was a sentence that he swallowed and didn't say, so as not to spread it, which not only hurt the emperor's heart, but also made Qin Wan sad.

When the emperor was young, could he see the first emperor once in ten days? Not necessarily, right?

He has always been unimpressed with Qin Wan's idea, and it can even be said that if Qin Wan is not a woman, frequent childbirth will hurt his body, and he may even lose his life, he will definitely ask Qin Wan to have more sons. In this way, there are several heirs to choose from, not only one, what if it is a debt collector? Even if you don't get angry, you can't just kill you!

Pei Xi doesn't consider the question of whether brothers kill each other or not, in his opinion, the brothers of a mother and compatriots will still turn against each other for a few acres of land, a few shops, or a business, and a title, not to mention the position of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme?

People always suffer from inequality, but the royal family does not have the word "even". No matter how much love you give, if you don't give him the throne, you will also attract resentment; No matter how cold you are on weekdays, as long as the dragon chair is delivered in the end, one point of good will become one hundred points.

Rather than putting in so much effort and ending up physically and mentally exhausted, it is better to treat it calmly, and in the end you will find that it is just that.

Just like him, in addition to political affairs, he only spends his days with fine wine and beautiful women. I don't know how many people secretly cursed, saying that he disrespected his wife like this, was promiscuous, and there was no one with a son and a half daughter, the evening scene must be extremely bleak, so what? He wants a "son", and there are many people who are willing to be filial sons and grandsons. It doesn't matter if you pretend to be it, serve him for the rest of your life, and pretend until he closes his eyes, isn't it? He has been happy all his life, so why should he care about those things after his death?

Qin Wan smiled lightly and was noncommittal: "You, that's it, I won't talk about you." Everything is impermanent, and people are subject to change. Ten years ago, I would never have imagined that I would have such a sentimental time. ”

When he was young, he was drawn to power, and after holding power for many years, he finally began to pursue some things that he had given up in the past. But she knew in her heart that those were just icing on the cake, and when she needed to make trade-offs, these embellishments, what should be discarded, would definitely be discarded.

"If you don't say it, I haven't found out yet." Pei Xi also sighed a little, "In a blink of an eye, another ten years have passed." ”

Tearing apart the hypocritical mask of the East Palace Famous Mansion is just a move he does as he pleases when he is young and proud. Going to the place where the emperor's eldest son was exiled to be a parent official was also a silent rebellion against power. At that time, he never dreamed that these two decisions would change his life in this way.

In a hurry, it turned out to be a full twenty years.

Qin Wan smiled slightly: "Where will we be in the next twenty years?" ”

Either way, the most important thing is still the present, isn't it?

In the seventh year of Yonglong, in the winter, in the clan headed by the King of Chu, the King of Yan, and the King of Shu, the first assistant Jiang Bai and other important ministers in the court, and the four major protectors, the emperor set an unprecedented precedent, and the princess of Jiangdu was the princess
