Chapter 365: There was also a midlife crisis in ancient times
Forgetting where he heard this point of view, Bai Jingyin smacked his tongue and said with emotion: "It seems that only in this way can we feel the meaning of life, tsk, it's really a sad midlife crisis." ”
"Where is there such an absolute." Shao Jingyi still doesn't seem to believe it.
"I don't believe you're looking for an experienced one." After that, he slowly moved his eyes to Yuan Ruiming, who was making tea.
Yuan Ruiming's face darkened,
Gritted his teeth:
"I'm not much older than you, and I'm not middle-aged."
"Really?!"
Bai Jingyin had a shocked expression.
"Look at your usual cold face that sees through the glitz of the world, I thought you were at least thirty or forty."
“……”
Yuan Ruiming subconsciously looked at his own appearance projected in the cup, and suddenly questioned himself.
Could it be that he is really so old?

"Why, you don't want to?"
Although Ling Xiang asked, just like Bai Jingyin, he knew his son better, how could he not know his intentions.
"It's not that I don't want to, but I'm curious why my father thinks like this."
Ling Xiang pointed at him with a finger,
Originally, I wanted to count his courage and strategy, but after thinking about it, I was raised by myself after all, so I gave up:
"Why do you think a father thinks that?"
Ling Yugui pursed his lips and was silent, his expression was very entangled.
If it is said that he himself is interested in seeing sex, then Ling Xiang has always objected to spending too much thought on the affairs of men and women, and he will never be like him, could it be that there are still parts of this matter that he is not aware of?
"The son is ashamed, the son doesn't know, and he asks the father to make it clear......"
Ling Xiang sighed,
"Why don't you think about everything when you don't want to think it deeper?"
You also said that Prince Rong is extremely scheming, and his biggest advantage over us is his status as the emperor's own uncle, if we really have to fight later, we may not have a chance to win. ”
"Yes, but what does this have to do with the Lord of Anping." Ling Yugui still didn't understand, "Could it be that if you marry Anping, Prince Rong will take the initiative to give up?" ”
"It's impossible, but it also indirectly increases our chances of winning."
Seeing his son's confused appearance, Ling Xiang didn't plan to go around in any circles, but fortunately said bluntly:
"Although Prince Rong is cunning and scheming, if the only weakness is said to be Prince Rong, the first emperor also persuaded the princess, and then the princess personally persuaded Prince Rong to give up the fight for the crown prince and was demoted to Dongli as a hostage." Chase the book
"It's still a lover, but I heard that Princess Rongqing died in the year she gave birth to the county lord, that-"
"My beloved wife has passed away, so isn't this the only daughter of myself and my wife naturally become the top treasure of Prince Rong's heart? Why do you think Prince Rong would accept to send his young daughter to the Queen Mother to raise, the Queen Mother has the idea of containing Prince Rong, and Prince Rong is also playing the idea of letting the Lord of Anping get close to the Queen Mother, and there will be a lot of protection in the future. ”
"Ah, Father! I see what you mean! ”
Speaking of which, Ling Yugui woke up like a dream.
Ling Xiang nodded,
"So, if the county lord of Anping can marry you, it will naturally be my Ling family. There is also a willing hostage to help us hold Prince Rong hostage, so that he does not dare to act rashly and become our enemy. ”
"However, what if he still takes the throne more seriously?"
"That's not afraid."
Ling Xiang is Ling Xiang in the end, and the plan he came up with has never been just one aspect.
"Since Prince Rong can send assassins to visit the Forbidden Palace at night, can't we marry the county lord openly and secretly Chen Cang? Just like the alliance with him before, he took the initiative to show weakness to gain his trust, and sent a signal to him, that is, 'We give up the struggle for power, and only want to be married, and in the future, after Prince Rong ascends the throne, we will take more care of it.' ’”
Ling Xiang stroked his beard and said with a smile:
"At that time, as long as Prince Rong relaxed his vigilance and believed all this, he would become a lamb to the slaughter, and he would no longer be a threat to us."
"In the end, it was the father who could think of such a good plan with one stone, if only the son could learn half of his father's plan!"
After listening to Ling Xiang's whole train of thought,
Ling Yugui was completely clear-headed, and he praised it with his palms.
"So, now do you want to think about marrying the county lord of Anping?"
What the father said was, even if he did not have so many benefits, the son was absolutely willing. The county lord of Anping, although she was a little willful before, is also different and has a unique flavor. Not to mention the gentle and delicate side now......" When Ling Yugui said these words, he touched his chin and salivated, like a lot of middle-aged fans chasing a small group of young idols.
But often the ideal is plump, but the reality is very skinny.
"But even if I think it's useless, even Xin'er is two years older than the county lord, I'm afraid it will be ...... if it gets out."
"When do you care about people of age, didn't you also take a sixteen or seventeen-year-old concubine a few months ago, thinking that you don't know your true appearance." Ling Xiang pierced him mercilessly.
"Just like my father said, after all, my son has already married a wife, and my wife's family is not bad. It's not too much to take a concubine, but the status of the county lord of Anping is noble, how could Prince Rong want his daughter to be a concubine, even if Prince Rong is willing, he can't pass the queen mother who has always loved the county lord. ”
You must know that although Anping is only a county lord, because she is raised under the knees of the queen mother, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the treatment of the eldest princess.
wanted to take the princess as a concubine, Ling Yugui knew that it was impossible, and of course, he would never dare to give birth to such a nonsensical idea.
"You think this is right, don't say it's a noble concubine, I'm afraid that if you want to marry as a flat wife, you will be wronged by the county lord."
"Then how do we do it?"
Ling Yugui suddenly regretted a little, why did he want to marry a wife, so that he might have to miss the delicate and lovely little county lord now.
"If the position of the wife is vacant, it can be done."
"Father means, divorce his wife?" Ling Yugui frowned, and after thinking about it seriously, he waved his hand again and again, "I'm afraid this is not good, not to mention that An is Xin'er's biological mother, she has never made a mistake in taking care of the affairs of the house for her son over the years, and she is also gentle and virtuous, not jealous, and filial, which is also well-known in the capital, and I really can't think of a reason to divorce my wife." What's more, we are in the same boat with the Ministry of Works, and we have followed our father since the previous dynasty, and we have taken the liberty of divorce from our wife, which may hurt the relationship between the two families. ”
"How can you think of these old men who can't think of it, but sometimes the most taboo is indecision before making a decision, and in the final analysis, it is still necessary to focus on the great cause."
