"Father, the son can marry a wife, but he doesn't want to marry Yu Qiaoqiao, the son already has a sweetheart, please ask the father to withdraw the request."

Leng Xi said seriously, and the emperor suddenly looked at him sideways, "Do you have a sweetheart?" Who is it? ”

Leng Xi tightened the corners of his mouth and said boldly:

"Yes...... It's an ordinary peasant girl. ”

"You are not allowed to marry."

When the emperor heard him say the words of an ordinary peasant woman, he instantly burst into flames.

Although he felt that he was very weak at this time, he still used all his strength to shout:

"You are the prince, ordinary peasant women can't even be your side concubine, let alone a concubine, you don't have to be delusional."

"Why not? The fourth sister-in-law is a peasant girl, won't she also marry the fourth brother as a concubine? Why can't I do that? ”

The emperor covered his mouth and coughed lightly, supporting his body with his arms to sit up, Leng Xi hurriedly got up to help him.

After he sat upright, Leng Xi knelt down again and continued:

"Father, Erchen likes that peasant girl, she is very cute, she is also knowledgeable, Erchen is very compatible with her, she is no worse than Qiao Qiao in all aspects."

The emperor's calm expression just now seemed to be a little more indifferent, and he frowned and said:

"No matter how good she is, she can't enter the royal door, your fourth sister-in-law is in a special situation, your fourth brother was terminally ill, she entered the Yuwang Mansion as a burial princess, if not, with her identity at the time, it is impossible to enter the royal door, you don't want to compare her with everything, cough cough cough ......"

Speaking of this, the emperor covered his mouth and coughed lightly, and continued to wave his hand:

"When my body recovers, let you and Yu Qiaoqiao get married, you go back and prepare."

"Father, I won't marry Yu Qiaoqiao."

"Bold."

The emperor suddenly glared and roared, "I am here for your own good, you married the daughter of the Yu family, with the status of the Yu family in the court, even if I die in the future, let your fourth brother sit on this throne, you can also be your prince in peace, you can go back and think about it yourself." ”

When Leng Xi heard these words from the emperor, his heart was suddenly covered with clouds.

First, his father did not allow him to marry Long Xiaomin;

Second, the father has decided to pass the throne to Leng Yu.

Both of these decisions were like a thunderbolt from the blue, and he was caught off guard, and he didn't know what to do.

Seeing that he didn't move, the emperor waved his hand and said with a tired face:

"Stand down, I'm tired, I want to sleep."

After that, the emperor waved his hand to Liu Xi who was standing at the door, and Liu Xi hurriedly ran in with small steps, stepped forward, and helped the emperor to lie down.

Leng Xi didn't argue with the emperor anymore, he understood the emperor's temper, and once he decided, others had no right to refute it.

Leng Xi stood up from the ground and slowly walked out of the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

In this early spring weather, the wind should have been gentle, but a gust of wind blew on Leng Xi's face, and he shivered, and the cold and piercing feeling instantly hit his whole body.

"Xi'er, how's it going?"

Concubine Li didn't know where she came from, perhaps, she never left!

Leng Xi glanced at her, with an unconcealable sadness between her eyebrows, without saying a word, she raised her feet and left.

Concubine Li was a little unclear and stepped forward to ask,

"Xi'er, didn't you hear me? What happened to your father? ”

"He's fine." He only replied with the three words Concubine Li.

His words made Concubine Li's face suddenly turn blue, but then she breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"In this case, the first plan is temporarily shelved, don't do anything in the past few days, go to the Heart Cultivation Palace to accompany your father and emperor, do things calmly, don't ...... anymore"

"Say no more."

Leng Xi, who was hurrying forward, suddenly stopped, he looked back at Concubine Li, and said word by word:

"Mother, it is difficult for the sons and daughters to obey their fate."

With these words, he turned again and strode away.

"Xi'er ......"

Concubine Li called behind him, but he didn't look back.

At this time, Leng Xi was indescribably sour in his heart, Long Xiaomin was the first woman he fell in love with, and it was also the first time that he had the urge to marry a woman home, but his father and mother refused to even see her, so they vetoed it.

Although he knew that the prince could not marry a peasant woman as a concubine, which was not in line with the rules, but he thought that there was a precedent for the four imperial sisters-in-law, and he could argue with his mother and father, but who would have thought that this would come out halfway and make all his thoughts come to naught.

The more he thought about this, the more irritated his heart became, and he felt that his heart was clogged, and the gentle wind seemed to become cold.

"Fifth Brother ......"

As he walked with his eyebrows lowered, Leng Ming appeared in front of him.

He raised his head, looked at Leng Ming, whose face was a little thin, and asked with concern:

"Ming'er, you've lost weight."

Leng Ming's already thin face became even more gloomy, he shook his head and smiled bitterly,

"It's not better to lose weight, it's good to die, people live for a lifetime, it's too annoying and tired."

"What's wrong with Ming'er?"

Leng Xi suddenly felt that Leng Ming's words were a little strange, and hurriedly continued to ask,

"What's going on?"

Leng Ming shook his head gently, "Fifth brother, come and go for a walk in the garden with me, I feel that I can't breathe well recently, and I am suffocating in the house." ”

"Okay, I just feel depressed too."

As they spoke, they walked to the back garden.

They found a pavilion and sat down, and after serving tea to the servants, they sent them out.

Leng Ming drank a cup of tea, poured another cup for himself, tilted his neck, and drank it again.

Leng Xi looked at him and asked puzzledly,

"Ming'er, what's going on?"

Leng Ming looked up at him and said with a calm face:

"I remember that the fourth imperial sister-in-law told me before that the children of ordinary people's families, at my age, are still haunting in front of their parents, but I am already facing a life of fighting with several imperial brothers for the throne of my father, fifth brother, I don't want to do this."

Leng Xi took a sip of tea, and the moment he put down the teacup, he softly comforted:

"Ming'er, don't think about it so much, we were born in the royal family, so we have no choice."

"But I don't want to fight with you and my fourth brother for this throne, I don't want to be this emperor, I don't want us to kill each other, and I don't want to live this kind of cheating and fearful life every day, you know? A few days ago, I really wanted to go to my father's body to fulfill my filial piety, but he suspected that I had other intentions for being good to him, and suspected that I was trying to force him to write my name on the edict of succession, and I really didn't ......."

Speaking of this, Leng Ming suddenly covered his face with his hands and let out a long sigh.

"Ming'er, your thoughts Fifth Brother can understand, but since ancient times, as a prince, there are not many people who don't want to be emperors, and there are not a few people who kill each other for the throne, it's rare that you can think like this, Fifth Brother feels very happy, but there are some things, we can't choose."

At this time, he thought of what his mother had said to him, and a feeling of sadness rose spontaneously.

"But I don't want to do that, my mother said, if I don't fight, any of you will be the emperor in the future, you will kill me, fifth brother, if you become the emperor, will you kill me?"
