Chapter 166: First Task 2
"Sayโ"
Walking all the way, with his back to me, looking at the pond behind the rockery, the armor shining on him, his back, in the sun, dazzling to the point that people could not see clearly.
"Yu Ling, as the emperor's son, is the most likely prince to inherit the unification, and it is better to choose him than Yu Xin."
Weighing the pros and cons, after careful consideration, Yu Ling's identity is more useful than Yu Xin.
Yuling's mother is the current queen, even if it is the emperor Yuzhen, no matter how much he loves Linglong, the status of the queen's mother is something he can't touch, and he can't touch it.
The edict of the first emperor, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and the power of the mother's family behind the queen, Yuzhen did not dare to provoke.
After Yusheng's death, the only person who is most likely to inherit the throne as the crown prince now is Yuling.
And the emperor and the queen both have the idea of uniting with An Yi to consolidate their power, at this time, it is naturally better to cooperate with them than Yuxin.
Yuxin was raised by the Queen Mother, the widow of the former emperor, and the younger brother of the current saint, no matter how strong the Queen Mother's ability is, she is also in her last years.
wants Yu Xin to marry me, but I just think that after she passes away, An Wangfu can be his backing to keep him safe.
In this way, together with Yuxin, it offended the queen mother, and also angered the emperor and the queen, and the chaos of the three forces would be detrimental to the elders' plans.
"That's what you think?"
All the way to the side of the head slightly, looking at me with some scrutiny:
"Do you like them?"
"Not ever."
I shook my head, Yuling and Yusheng have been together for some time, and in the past few months, my relationship with them and my understanding of them have also been a little bit.
Putting aside the gossip outside, ignoring their absurdity, neither of them was too much at fault.
All their bad habits and bad ideas now are because they have grown up in this imperial city since they were children, and what the imperial city has taught them, how they look at the world.
In their eyes, those absurdities are nothing more than habitual things, those that are unforgivable, but because they are noble, and the others are just slaves, ants whose lives are worthless.
"True or false?"
Look at me all the way.
"Naturally, it's true!"
I calmly met his gaze, without any waves or emotions.
There is nothing to do, so naturally there is no need to be weak-hearted.
"Okay, that's good!"
He continued to look ahead all the way back before he spoke again for a long time:
"The elders mean that you should choose Yuxin."
My idea was good, but it wasn't the best answer.
I have just returned to this palace, my identity as the county lord, whether I sit or not, is still unknown, the emperor has been exhausted in the past few years, and he has long thought about marrying with King An's mansion.
If I don't show up again, then this marriage will fall on Anxin's body, but on the contrary, I appeared at this critical juncture, coincidence? Or is it real?
Everyone's eyes are looking at this, and everyone also clearly understands that the powerful relationship here, whether the emperor really wants to marry me, is also worth scrutinizing.
Because, if he really made up his mind, he could give marriage with one decree, and let me be tied to Yuling, and Yuxin on the Queen Mother's side would not have a chance at all?
However, he didn't, he didn't make a holy decree, and he didn't care about the Queen Mother's involvement, he just asked me to make my own choice.
Why?
Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and the king knows very well in his heart that these people under him have a small abacus in his heart. If I choose Yuling like this, I won't say anything, but Yuzhen will definitely have a plan in his heart.
With this consideration, there will be more eyes looking at me, looking at comfort, watching everyone's movements.
But if I choose Yuxin, this calculation, these drawbacks, all gone.
The emperor and the empress, I will not offend them, because they are not what I said, they really want their son, the future prince to marry me, and a bloodline that came out halfway, I don't know the true or false, compared with the peace of mind that Gao Wei was just born in the belly, only a few years old, and the bloodline is pure, which one is more in line with their hearts, it is self-evident.
On the contrary, the marriage on the Queen Mother's side is more convenient.
First of all, the Queen Mother herself doesn't have many concerns, but she just wants Yu Xin to have some backers in the future, and this backer, whether it's true or not, as long as there is one.
Although my identity is not clear, in the end, I nodded comfortably and admitted it, even if it was wrong, he would not stand up and correct it, but would only let her continue to be wrong.
This mistake is the result she wants.
No matter what happens in the future, the status of comfort will not change, I married Yu Xin together, and he will definitely take care of it at a critical moment for the honor of the family.
Moreover, Yu Xin's words, there are not many eyes and ears around him, and he can't make any waves, after I am with him, I can not only get the convenience of entering and leaving the palace, but also bypass the eyes and ears, and do something that can be done, such a choice is what should be considered.
"Good!"
The explanation along the way is very straightforward, very thorough, without superfluous emotions, as if talking about an insignificant matter.
I listened to his analysis, and my heart felt a sense of sadness, and I wanted to rush up, but I was crushed in the corner.
Thousands of words, thousands of thoughts, all turned into one word.
Okay, that's my answer.
It's also my only choice.
"Anything else?"
I tilted my head and asked indifferently.
"Not yet."
He looked at me all the way, still without any expression, "If there is a new change, I will tell you." โ
"I'm tired, go back and rest!"
I turned, looked around, and smiled, like a master tired of the scenery, and ordered my servants to go back together.
He followed me all the way, silently, and I walked in front of me without looking back, listening to his footsteps, walking forward step by step.
A lot of things have changed.
I finally understood that I couldn't do anything with him.
That's fine, the life span of the demon is so long, why should I not measure myself in just a few decades, and I must provoke others?
Looking up at the sky, today's sky is really beautiful, with blue sky and white clouds, and clear skies.
"The county lordโ"
I happened to be next to the servant guarding the door, and I was watching the sky. They are saluting me.
"The weather is good today, I want to put some wine and food in the yard and invite Uncle Xin to drink, do you know what to do?"
Years later, Yuling and Yuxin still surround me together, and I treat both of them equally, and I have never been thin.
From this day forward, I won't do that.
"That Ling Wangye-"
The talkative servant kindly reminded.
"Brother Ling follows his father, he is tired from training, let him rest more. I won't bother too much, and you can't bother either. โ
In this sentence, I have already said the decision from the bottom of my heart without leaving a trace, in this group of servants, there are many eyeliners, how to say it, how to do it, I don't need to teach it.
