Listening to Xuanyuan Che's words, the emperor couldn't help but sigh.

Knowing Wei Qingluan, the emperor naturally began to hear this name when the fifth prince came back from Changzhou last autumn. Three years ago, Xuanyuan Che and Wei Qingluan had already come into contact once, and he really didn't know.

Although Xuanyuan Che's words meant that it was because of Wei Qingluan that his confidence and fighting spirit were aroused, so what. If Wei Qingluan became a stumbling block for Xuanyuan Che on his way forward, the emperor would definitely not be soft and give up directly attacking her.

After thinking about it, the emperor said: "Che'er, this way, that girl does have some means and talents, and I agree that you will include her in the mansion in the future." You can rest assured, as long as she doesn't do anything extraordinary, I will keep her safe for the rest of her life. "In the royal family, how can anyone marry only one woman. It was for Xuanyuan Che that he also decided to give way.

And when Xuanyuan Che heard these words, he understood that the emperor meant that he only agreed to let Wei Qingluan be a partial house and a concubine.

"Father, either I will never marry," Xuanyuan Che looked at the emperor and said word by word: "Either I only want Wei Qingluan as a woman." This is what he promised Wei Qingluan, and he will definitely do it.

"Bastard," the emperor was really angry at this time, he looked at Xuanyuan Che coldly and said, "You really want to give up the sky of the world for a woman?" ”

In fact, the idea of supporting Xuanyuan Che to the top was when Xuanyuan Che returned to the capital three years ago when his father and son met again.

The emperor remembered very well that on that day, the fourth prince Xuanyuan Yu brought Xuanyuan Che to see him. At that time, he was reading the situation of Xuanyuan Che that Lu Duan had passed on.

I also happened to see Lu Duan write on letterhead that Xuanyuan Che had followed him to participate in several wars with Xirong State. Once when he was besieged by Xirong soldiers on the land patrol, Xuanyuan Che took advantage of his young age and flexibility to run back to the camp alone to move the feats of rescue soldiers.

At that time, Xuanyuan Che was only twelve years old.

So when the two of them walked in, the emperor's scrutinizing eyes fell on Xuanyuan Che.

Fifteen-year-old Xuanyuan Che appeared to be stronger and taller than his peers because of his perennial life in the army. There is also a steadiness and maturity in the look that peers do not have.

Especially when he saw Xuanyuan Che's eyes similar to Concubine Mei, the emperor's heart softened in an instant.

"Father, are you encouraging me and the crown prince to compete for the world?" Xuanyuan Che suddenly laughed, but then his face turned cold and said, "I almost died when I was eight years old, and at that time I only hated myself for being born in the royal family. But I didn't have a choice, so now I just want to keep my relatives and make the lives of those who are good to me better. As he spoke, he remembered his grandfather and uncle.

After so many years, they have already regretted sending their mother to the palace in the first place. Either my grandfather and uncle would not have said it to me, if I married into an ordinary family, my mother would definitely live a good life in the world.

Therefore, he can't choose to be born in the royal family, but he will choose to protect his relatives and family, for example, just like the current King Jingnan. If he can, he is willing to stay away from the capital and the dark palace like King Jingnan in the future, and be an idle prince who makes his family happy and free.

"You are really unambitious," the emperor shook his head and said, "I gave you the opportunity to make you want to understand. You are my son, the son of the dragon and the grandson of the dragon, if you are willing and have my support, you will be able to ascend to the great treasure and be the head of the world. When the time comes, why don't you worry about the power in your hands, and everyone will surrender to your feet. And all kinds of women are at your disposal. ”

"I don't need to!" Xuanyuan Che also said coldly: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and your pursuit is not necessarily what others like." ”

I didn't expect Xuanyuan Che to say such a thing. Thinking that the crown prince Xuanyuan Hao and the fourth prince Xuanyuan Yu were about to fight for the seat under him, but this son said that the position of the lord of the world was not what he liked.

Before this, the emperor did have the idea of passing the throne to Xuanyuan Che. Although the crown prince and Xuanyuan Yu entered the court early, they followed Xi to learn the government. But through observation, the emperor felt that the prince lacked foresight and had no outstanding features, and felt that he was not the material of Mingjun. The four princes lacked composure and were too aggressive, which made the emperor unhappy.

On the other hand, Xuanyuan Che has been in the military camp for a few years, although he lacks some in the court, but he is resourceful, brave and good at fighting, and is a rare seedling.

The emperor even thought that it would be a big deal to train a few more loyal ministers for Xuanyuan Che to assist him, and with his own guidance, he would be able to get started quickly.

But at this time, Xuanyuan Che said directly that he was not interested in being the emperor, how could this not make the emperor angry.

"You don't regret it?" The emperor looked at Xuanyuan Che and said disappointedly: "Don't forget that this is your only chance." "He has always controlled the power between the crown prince and the fourth prince, just to create opportunities for Xuanyuan Che. And if Xuanyuan Che really has no intention of taking the throne, then he doesn't want to meddle in it anymore.

"No regrets." Xuanyuan Che said firmly.

"But have you ever thought about it," the emperor snorted coldly, "in the future, when the new emperor ascends the throne, can you keep your woman?" ”

"Father Emperor is now in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, and everything is going well," Xuanyuan Che's tone changed, and he continued: "As for the new emperor's accession to the throne, everything is unpredictable. ”

This son finally said something that convinced his heart. The emperor put the sentence in front of Xuanyuan Che in his heart, and automatically ignored the latter sentence.

Glancing at Gonggong Liu, who was standing with his head bowed and his eyebrows on the side, the emperor sighed lightly and said, "No matter what, no matter what, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, why do I have to be such a wicked person." ”

"Thank you to your father for fulfilling your son," Xuanyuan Che immediately stood up and saluted. raised his head and said to the emperor: "Father, it's not early, you should rest early." ”

"Stop," the emperor was amused by him, and said, "Don't think that confusing me will make you happy." Tell you, I didn't mention that you would compete for the throne anymore, and I didn't promise you to marry the girl surnamed Wei. ”

"Yes," Xuanyuan Che didn't argue, and said lightly: "I will do it in the future, and I don't have to let others agree." ”

This kid is really annoying! The emperor gritted his teeth, but when he saw that his face was cold as usual, he only felt angry and funny, so he said: "I don't care what you do, but let me tell you, your princess can only be the niece of General Lin's mansion, not a woman with nothing and a suspicious heart living in someone else's house." ”

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Che was stunned, but he immediately understood that what the emperor said was just the opinion of outsiders who didn't know the truth about Wei Qingluan, not really saying that Wei Qingluan was suspicious.

It's just that Wei Qingluan was originally the niece of General Lin's mansion, and it was a matter of time before she returned to the general's mansion.

Nodding, Xuanyuan Che said, "Okay, Father remembers what he said." ”

Sighing lightly, the emperor waved his hand: "Forget it, you don't listen to me anyway, go back." The reason why he must have forced Xuanyuan Che to wait for Wei Qingluan to return to General Lin's mansion to get married, he just wanted to find a backer for Xuanyuan Che.

There is nothing now, there will be nothing to do with yourself to protect Xuanyuan Che. In the future, when the new emperor ascends the throne, and the general's mansion is supported behind his back, no one dares to attack Xuanyuan Che.
