Gu Qingling had a headache when she saw the carrier pigeon.
The result of impulsiveness is... countless regrets.
If she had known earlier that Li Wenchong was an infertile man, would she still have to hide Yao Jiuye so hard? If someone is infertile, she would never think about Yao Jiuye, okay?
Unfortunately……
She said it.
Once you say it, there will be no regrets.
While Li Wenchong was investigating Yao Jiuye's identity, Gu Qingling was also constantly reviewing the situation, considering whether the advantages or disadvantages of having Li Wenchong recognize Yao Jiuye were greater than the disadvantages.
Li Wenchong is infertile, so letting him know about Yao Jiuye's existence is a good thing for Yao Jiuye. As a father, he will definitely consider everything for his son.
However, if the world knows that Yao Jiuye is Li Wenchong's biological son, will Li Wenchong's "prince" position be secure in the future?
The existence of Yao Jiuye also broke Li Wenchong's "infertile" image. So can the future emperor still trust him as much as he does now?
After losing the emperor's trust, what did Li Wenchong have left? What benefits could he bring to Yao Jiuye?
Gu Qingling sighed.
It seemed that she really needed to have a good talk with Li Wenchong.
The existence of Yao Jiuye tied them to a key ship. Once something goes wrong, no one can run away.
Under this situation, she could only hope for Li Wenchong to be better.
Zui Feng Courtyard.
Gu Qingling looked at the large amount of things that Li Wenchong brought with her, and her expression was hard to explain: "Why did you bring so many things?"
"Is it a lot?" Li Wenchong looked back and said, "My son, of course, must use the most and the best things."
"But..." Gu Qingling stepped forward and took a look at the contents of these boxes and said, "Many of the things here are actually from the 'Wangzi Chenglong Grocery Store'. Don't you know that I own this grocery store?"
Li Wenchong looked back with a stiff expression, and sure enough he saw the words "Looking at Jackie Chan" written on many of the packaging boxes of those things.
"It wasn't me who picked it, it was Butler Zhou who picked it...Really, I asked him to pick the best things, and he picked the most popular things in Jinling, the things that children like to play with the most now..." Li Wenchong worked hard,
Wanting to restore his image, he said, "Besides, although it is sold in your store, what you prepare is what you prepare, and what I prepare is what I prepare. Can it be the same?"
Gu Qingling looked helpless: "Do you know how many children there are in our family? Each child has a copy, and a 'playroom' has been set up in each yard."
Li Wenchong thought thoughtfully: "Are you reminding me that I should also prepare a 'playroom' over there? Speaking of which, the amusement park you built is indeed very famous. I heard that there are many children
They all like to play..."
Thinking that one day Yao Jiuye would come to his place and have fun, Li Wenchong immediately clenched his fists and expressed that he would also build his own house.
Gu Qingling was speechless:...Is that what she meant?
Forget it, it's rare to be a father, and you can tell by the look on his face that he is crazy about joy, so she'd better not dampen his enthusiasm.
Gu Qingling gestured to him to speak next to her.
Li Wenchong understood well that he wanted to "whisper" again.
Fortunately, he had something to say to her.
"About our marriage..."
Gu Qingling raised her hand: "I haven't agreed to marry you yet."
Li Wenchong looked shocked: "We already have children, who will you marry if you don't marry me? I have invited you by imperial edict, and you have given birth to a child... Shouldn't we be discussing our marriage now?"
Gu Qingling shook his head: "Let me ask you first, have you investigated Brother Can's life experience clearly?"
"The child was indeed born to you, and the date is very clear... There is no other man around you, and there is no one else besides my child." The main thing is that if she can give birth, then there is no problem.
"Now that you have investigated clearly, I think, as your son, you must want the best for Brother Can, right?"
"Of course, he might be my only child. If I don't give him the best, who will I give it to? Even for these things I bought this time, I always buy the best."
"Yes, I can see that you are the most expensive thing in the grocery store for my son Jackie Chan." Gu Qingling said, "Since you want to give your son the best, have you ever thought about what to give him?
What’s the best thing?”
Gu Qingling said from all aspects of food and clothing, she dared to say that although everything she gave Yao Jiuye now was not as expensive as what Li Wenchong gave, it was definitely the best in other aspects.
Not to mention that Wangzi Chenglong Grocery Store originally sold things for children, but Gu Qingling's bookshop produced a large number of books, newspapers and other materials about children, which were unique to the entire Ming Dynasty, not to mention the entire Jinling.
Gu Qingling didn't say it directly, but the general meaning was revealed - the reason why I let you know the existence of this child is not for the food and drink. If it were these, I would have given him the best...
"But there is one thing that I can't give him, and that is 'father's love'." Gu Qingling looked at Li Wenchong and said seriously, "For a child, the most precious thing in the world is not these external things, but
His parents' love for him is something that no one can replace."
"In that case, wouldn't it be better if you marry me and let him be the prince and son in an upright and upright manner?"
"Then do you think it is safer for a prince with children or for a prince without children?" Gu Qingling did not answer Li Wenchong's question, but asked him another question.
Li Wenchong was stunned for a moment. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
Needless to say, of course he is a childless prince...
Although Li Wenchong didn't want to admit it, the reason why he had been favored by Emperor Mingguang for so many years, and even had the confidence to continue to be favored after the new emperor came to the throne, was that he was destined to be infertile in his life.
The reason why Emperor Mingguang issued the order so "happily" was probably because Gu Qingling was already quite old, and there was a high probability that she would not be able to give birth. Plus, Li Wenchong's body... Emperor Mingguang had some feelings for Li Wenchong, and he was willing to bet on this.
One horse, so he made a decree.
But Emperor Mingguang's trust in Li Wenchong does not mean that the next emperor who succeeds will also trust him.
"Since you want to give your child the best, when his existence turns your advantage into a disadvantage and may put you in danger, can you still guarantee that what you give him is the best?" Gu Qingling
Looking into Li Wenchong's eyes, he asked.
Li Wenchong was silent for a while, and couldn't help but clench his hands in his sleeves: "What do you mean..."
"As the child's mother, of course I want to give him the best in the world. He has a father who loves him, and I am a mother who takes care of him. The identity of his parents will not bring him danger. That's not good.
"What's more, he is still the orphan of a benefactor to the Yao family, and the Yao family will also take care of him..." Gu Qingling said, "But if you want to recognize him, not only will you be in danger, he will be with the Yao family."
It will also become embarrassing, and even I have to bear the reputation of being a "red apricot cheating on the wall". It seems that I have obtained the status of prince and son, and I have reached the sky in one step, but in fact my foundation is unstable and crises are everywhere..."
