"Don't think I don't know what you want to do" Empress Xue was calm and pointed out Shang Qirui's plan without hesitation, "As a mother, I understand you very well, and I am also very distressed and reluctant to give up." But, as the Queen, I can't let you do that. No matter how much I feel sorry for my children, I still feel that family and country affairs are more important. As a prince and a princess, you must take some responsibilities for the country. This is your destiny and what you should do. ”

Since Empress Xue has said it, Shang Qirui does not hide it: "I agree with the words of the Queen Mother, we have enjoyed more and should bear more." However, I don't think that marrying Rou'an to Shijian is the best solution. Shijian wolf's ambition will not really stop coveting us because of Rou'an's marriage. It is only because of the initial peace of the domestic civil strife that they are not strong enough to wage war against the outside world, so they want to recuperate under this reason of harmony. When they are strong, they will still start a war. At that time, the queen mother, think about it, how should Rou'an, who has already given birth to children in Shijian, deal with herself? On one side are parents and brothers, on the other side are husbands and children, and the queen mother, who should Rou'an help? Which side should I be on? ”

Shang Qirui has gone through the events of his previous life and knows Rou'an's later embarrassment and pain. However, Empress Xue didn't experience those things, she only thought that Rou'an had someone she liked, Rou'an was not in good health, and she was definitely not familiar with the environment of Shijian. However, he never thought about the future. As a woman, she has this question about Shang Qirui. There's really no way to give an answer in my heart. Not to mention marrying into an enemy country, even now, Queen Xue feels very helpless about some requirements from her mother's family, and she is quite embarrassed that she doesn't know how to deal with it. Think about Rou'an, if you really marry Shijian and encounter the kind of situation that Shang Qirui said, how should you deal with yourself? The family must not forget, nor can the husband and children give up. Empress Xue was stunned for a long time. As a woman. As a mother. She also had no way to answer Shang Qirui's question.

"Third brother, isn't it true that things haven't come to that point yet? Perhaps, Shijian will really not have another incident, and the two countries will be friendly from now on? Shang Qiyu looked at the solemn atmosphere. I can't bear it. Speak and persuade.

"It's easy to change. Temperament is hard to change. Shi Jian was born warlike, how could he stop fighting? Besides. Even if there is no situation where the two countries will meet each other in the future. Rou'an married so far away alone, I'm afraid that I will never see each other again in this life, how can you bear it? Shang Qirui looked at Shang Qiyu and was slightly disappointed. He remembers. Shang Qiyu is the most kind and benevolent, how could he be so indifferent to the matter of his sister going to get married?

Where would Shang Qirui have thought that the reason why he reacted so much was just because he had experienced the events of his previous life and knew the miserable life of Princess Rou'an in the future. However, as a member of the royal family, he is actually not used to such things as harmony, and he was in his previous life. There is no such big reaction to the harmony. Moreover, Shang Qiyu was just afraid that Shang Qirui and Queen Xue's mother and son would turn against each other for this matter, so he had to choose not to help Princess Rou'an speak, which was also extremely helpless.

"What the third brother said is right, but I think that Shijian can grow, why can't we? When Shijian can recuperate until the soldiers are strong, of course, we can grow stronger than them. Shang Qiyu was slightly unconvinced, raised his head, and said word by word. I think that to really avoid the occurrence of this kind of thing, it is not to do anything to Shijian, but. We have made our country stronger. If we are strong enough, why worry about the stone stream coming to fight? At that time, even if Sister Rou'an married Shi Jian, Shi Jian would only be obedient to her sister, and she would not be embarrassed. ”

Shang Qirui was slightly stunned, he thought. Of course, it is also to make your country stronger. However, Shang Qiyu's words still shocked him a little. The child who hid behind him and sought refuge had grown up unconsciously. It's gratifying to have such ambitions.

I wanted to say something, but there was a "pop" applause at the door, followed by a stern voice with relief: "Yu'er said very well, this is the bearing that the prince of my Dajin should have!" ”

"Father!"

"Your Majesty!"

The people present hurriedly saluted and said goodbye, but they did not expect the emperor to come, and they also heard their conversation.

"Get up, it's all a family, there's no need for these false courtesies." The emperor sat down and waved his hand casually, and it could be seen that he was still in a good mood.

Everyone thanked and stood up, and the queen took advantage of the emperor's inattention to take a look at the palace maid outside, the emperor came, and he didn't report in advance. The palace maid looked at the queen cautiously but aggrievedly, the emperor didn't let him speak, who dared to speak out?

The queen sighed slightly, thinking that these days, there was nothing that went well, and her mood was not good, but she didn't dare to throw her face at the emperor

"Father's ......"

"I know that you feel sorry for Rou'an, she is my daughter, and I feel sorry for her. However, those who achieve great things are not informal, and they should not be too long-natured. You have to remember that as a superior of a country, you should always keep in mind the overall interests of a country, not small personal feelings. At this point, you have to learn more like Yu'er, and we are more interested in blood, rather than the kindness of a woman. ”

Hearing the emperor mention the superior of a country, Shang Qirui was still a little panicked. However, when it came to the last sentence, he didn't dare to agree: "I also think what my father said is reasonable, we should be bloody, so we don't have to be afraid of Shijian provoking a war." What if you don't marry the princess to them? As long as Shi Jian dares to come, the father and the emperor are willing to take the order to go on the expedition, if they can defeat them for the first time, they can defeat the second time, and the third time ......"

"You ......" the emperor was already slightly displeased, "we are not afraid of the stone stream, but if we can avoid war, we should avoid war." If you have been on the battlefield, don't you know how heavy the losses will be if you win or lose a battle? For the sake of one person, you have put the lives of millions of people in dire straits. How can I bear it? ”

Shang Qirui was a little anxious, what is the matter with this emperor, when he talked to him about benevolence, he was talking about blood. When I talked to him about blood, he began to talk about kindness again. However, what the emperor said, there is one thing that Shang Qirui agrees with very much. He has been on the battlefield and knows the cruelty of war. The corpses scattered all over the mountains outside Jincheng are still deeply imprinted in his mind. If only there was no war. Of course, it's the best.

"Alright. Don't argue. The third child was so frightened yesterday, and his injuries have not yet healed, so his majesty will say a few words. "Empress Xue came out to mediate," Yu'er. You take your third brother down to rest. Remembered. Take good care of him. You know? ”

Shang Qiyu understood what Empress Xue meant. is to hand over Shang Qirui to himself, stop him, and can't let him go.

"Yes, the boy knows. The child quits. Shang Qiyu pulled the unwilling Shang Qirui to retreat.

"You let go ......"

"Does the third brother have to collide with his father here? There must be a better solution to the matter, and the father also has the difficulties of the father, just blindly making the father embarrassed, and it is not what we should do as a son. Shang Qiyu stopped Shang Qirui and said earnestly.

Shang Qirui looked at Shang Qiyu's appearance as a little adult, and felt more and more that Shang Qiyu had really grown up, but he was still stuck in the past. This is not possible, Shang Qirui silently stopped struggling, and left with Shang Qiyu.

"Don't be angry. Rui'er doesn't have the intention of confronting you, he just has a soft heart and is worried about his sister. Empress Xue waited until the two children had gone out and sent the people who were waiting, and then she persuaded the emperor and beat the emperor's back for him.

"Well, I'm just worried about him." The emperor sighed deeply and grabbed Empress Xue's hand with his backhand, "Don't do these things yourself." There are so many people...... It's a good thing to be affectionate, but as a prince, sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to be too affectionate. Especially. Rui'er is smart and capable, and will do ...... in the future"

"Shhhhh......h The concubine only hopes. Rui'er can be safe and happy for the rest of her life, so she has nothing to ask for......"

"You, it's your indisputable temperament, and Rui'er has become too worried and scruples now." The Emperor spoke reproachful words, but his tone was very gentle and gentle, "However, sometimes I value him too. If Rui'er really becomes an emperor in the future, she will definitely not attack the other brothers, so that I can rest assured if I die......"

Unexpectedly, the emperor still said this sentence, Empress Xue's heart trembled, and she knelt down directly: "Your Majesty, you can look at Rui'er differently, the concubine is very happy." However, as Your Majesty said, Rui'er is too soft-hearted to be a monarch. Moreover, in front of Rui'er, there is also the eldest prince and the second prince. Whether it is Lichang or Lixian, it will definitely not be Rui'er's turn. In this case, I hope that His Majesty will not say it again in the future. ”

"Okay, you get up, can you look like a queen?" The emperor was a little angry, "Other mothers want their children to be emperors, and they try their best to seize that position...... Isn't it, you feel in your heart that this throne should be the boss, so you don't want me to pass on the throne to Rui'er......"

"Absolutely not." The queen hurriedly shook her head, lowered her head again, and said uneasily, "Boss, the qualifications are not very good, in fact, they are not suitable to be a monarch......"

"Then I understand, dare you think that this throne should not be held by your son, right?" The emperor snorted coldly, looking even more unhappy, "Are you afraid of causing trouble?" Or is it a retreat? ”

"It doesn't matter what Your Majesty thinks of the concubines......" When Empress Xue heard this, she felt sad and her eyes were red, "What the concubines said was all from the heart, and the concubines really felt that the eldest and third were not suitable to be princes......

"Then who do you think is suitable?" The emperor asked rhetorically, but his face was calm.

"Concubine...... The concubines obey the emperor's orders, and there must be someone to choose for your majesty......"

"Yes, that's right, I already have a suitable candidate, and that is Rui'er!"

After a big circle, I returned to square one. Empress Xue felt deeply helpless, I am afraid that this issue is not clearly discussed. In case he angered the emperor, maybe he would immediately make a holy decree and make Shang Qirui the crown prince. That's even more troublesome.

"Why don't you speak?" The emperor stared at Empress Xue tightly and asked.

"Although the concubine thinks that they are not suitable in her heart, the concubine must still listen to His Majesty." Empress Xue felt deeply powerless, "However, can you ask Your Majesty for something?" ”

"What?"

"His Majesty is a matter of being in the prime of life, in fact, there is no need to think about the throne at all. Several children, each with their own advantages and disadvantages, can they observe and observe. Let's see who is the right person in the end? Empress Xue asked with a somewhat cautious expression. Since the emperor can't be persuaded to let go of his mind. Then there is only a delay, how long can it be delayed, I hope the emperor can change his mind as much as possible.

"Alas, that's it!" The Emperor also sighed deeply. The fierceness and unhappiness on his face dissipated. Replaced by a deep sense of helplessness. And a hint of tolerance. "You're like this every time, and I really can't help you. I've never seen you like this......"

"I'm sorry. The concubine disappointed His Majesty...... "Empress Xue suddenly felt sad, and when she thought of the emperor's draft girl, she felt sad. He talks about how good he is, but in the end. Aren't you going to choose other young and beautiful women to enter the palace? Empress Xue is not a jealous person, and she understands that as a queen, she can't take these things too seriously. However, when people are fragile, they will inevitably be in a bad mood, and people's hearts will become sentimental.

"Ouch, look, why are you unhappy again?" The emperor also saw that Empress Xue was unhappy, and his heart was also soft, "Why are you still crying?" Did I say the wrong thing?"

Empress Xue didn't want to cry. But when he heard the emperor's words, the tears rolling in his eyes couldn't help it, and he fell straight down.

"What's wrong? What's going on? Since Empress Xue became the queen, this is the first time the emperor has seen her cry, and his heart is shaken, and he is even more distressed, hurriedly grabbed her hand, and personally wiped her tears, "Are you doing this for Rui'er?" Or is it for Rou'an? ”

"Not really. It's not ......" Empress Xue choked and shook her head, but she felt even more aggrieved, and her tears fell even more, "The concubine is just." It's just that I feel uncomfortable......"

After crying for a while, Empress Xue finally stopped crying under the persuasion of the emperor.

"Look, my eyes are swollen from crying. If someone finds out, I can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River, and people will think that I have bullied the queen. The Emperor joked a little awkwardly.

Empress Xue couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart. Isn't that what you bully? However, she knew very well that there were some things that could not be said, especially to the emperor. Being able to cry like this is actually a luxury. Empress Xue adjusted her mentality, and after crying like this, she felt much better, and was slightly embarrassed: "Let Your Majesty see the joke." ”

Seeing that Empress Xue didn't want to say why she was crying, the emperor didn't force her to ask. In fact, why she cried, the emperor also had some numbers in his heart. When he chose to name her, he took a fancy to her intelligence, kindness, and indisputable personality. Over the years, I have become more and more fond of the queen. It's just that he also knows that behind the queen's motherhood, there will still be a lot of grievances. The most important thing is that there are some grievances that can't be declared, so being able to cry out is also a kind of venting, which is actually a good thing.

"In front of me, what's the joke that isn't a joke?" The emperor smiled mildly and used "I".

Empress Xue was a little moved, but suddenly didn't know how to express it.

Seeing that Empress Xue's love was still a little excited, the emperor thought about it and decided to tell Empress Sù in advance about the matter that he was originally going to tell Empress Sù tomorrow: "Tomorrow, Shijian's envoy will also arrive, and we will take this opportunity to announce the matter of the show girl together, right?" Contributing to so many marriages at once can be regarded as a happy event. ”

Hearing that Shijian's envoy was coming, Empress Xue still felt a twitch in her heart. However, the emperor's last words confused her. However, Empress Xue misunderstood, thinking that the emperor was saying that he would take the show girl into the palace tomorrow, and the so-called happy event was naturally the emperor's happy event and Shijian's happy event. However, in Queen Xue's opinion, these two things are not happy events, so she is a little listless: "Your Majesty's draft girl is naturally a great happy event. Do you want to notify all the show girls to enter the palace today? Otherwise, tomorrow is a long way away, and I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up. ”

"What? Why did the show girl enter the palace? The emperor was also stunned.

"Show girls don't enter the palace, where do they live?" Empress Xue is even more strange, is it possible, what kind of place did the emperor build for this group of show girls? In that case, it would be too much, and she still had to persuade her.

"Naturally, whoever you marry will live in whomever you want." The emperor was stunned, and suddenly came back to his senses, "Don't you know?" Didn't Rui'er sue you either? ”

Whoever you marry will live in? Aren't all show girls married to emperors? But you can't give them a wedding, right? But what do you not know? What did Shang Qirui not sue himself?

Empress Xue was completely confused: "What does Your Majesty mean by this?" The concubine didn't understand at all. ”

"Did the queen always think that I had to recruit so many show girls this time to recruit all of them into the palace?" The emperor looked at the empress with some amusement and asked more clearly.

"Isn't it?" Empress Xue was a little stupid, "Shouldn't all show girls be recruited into the palace?" ”

"You fool! I've said it a long time ago, it's enough to have you! Over the years, these people in the palace have been tossing less? I'm not stupid, why bother looking for a bunch of trouble and living in the palace? The emperor couldn't help but laugh.

Empress Xue was stunned, the emperor had said this, but how could she take such a thing seriously? She thought it was just a joke by the emperor to make herself happy. Now to hear the emperor say this, it is impossible not to be moved. It's just that since you don't recruit into the palace, what do you do with draft girls?

"I am just trying to draw the red line for the young talents of the new department." The emperor could see that Empress Xue really didn't know, and hurriedly explained her confusion, "Those show girls are for the children, not for me." ”

Only then did Empress Xue understand that the emperor had this idea. Is he bored? Why did you suddenly think of matchmaking and making matchmakers? In fact, Empress Xue did not agree with this approach. The so-called emperor's marriage is just a good reputation. In fact, where does the emperor know so much and who is a good match with whom? In case the two of them don't have a good time, because the emperor gave them a marriage, they don't even dare to resist the decree. However, since the emperor is so interested, the empress will not be in such an emperor, making him unhappy. After all, whether it is introduced by the matchmaker or the emperor, it is impossible to guarantee that every couple can live happily and happily.

"It turns out that this is the idea?" Empress Xue was a little embarrassed, "Why didn't Your Majesty tell your concubine in advance?" ”

"Rui'er also knows about this, I thought he would sue Empress Sù, but I didn't expect him to say it, maybe he thought I had already sued Empress Sù...... "The emperor was also unexpected, Shang Qirui didn't say it."

Neither of them expected that Shang Qirui didn't say anything, he just hoped that the emperor would tell Empress Sù personally. The effect of the emperor's own words is different from the effect of him suing Empress Xue.

"This kid ......" Empress Xue sighed, not knowing what to say.

"Queen, look at it, this is the list I have drawn up." The emperor took out a list from his arms as if offering a treasure and handed it to Empress Xue, "This is a decision made after I sent people to inquire everywhere and after repeated consideration, the queen took a look, but do you still have any opinions?" ”

Empress Xue took it and took a look, and first saw Mu Wenhan's name.

Mu Wenhan and Miss Liu Qi? From the point of view of the door, these two people are a perfect match, but unfortunately, it is really bitter for Rou'an. Tomorrow, she will not only hear the news that she was married to Shijian, but also hear the news that her sweetheart will marry someone else, what a big blow it should be?

Thinking that Rou'an's thin body had to bear so much pressure, Empress Xue suddenly felt distressed, and she was not so interested in this list.

The emperor saw that Empress Xue was silent, so he also came over, and happened to see that Empress Xue was also looking at the names of Mu Wenhan and Miss Liu Qi, so he smiled and said, "This pair is the most dazzling pair." Not only is the family background comparable, but Mu Wenhan is the champion, and Miss Liu Qi is the most famous woman in the capital, the two are really a perfect match! (To be continued.) )
