Prince Qi leaned back, and the setting sun had already sunk, leaving only a touch of orange on the horizon.
"Because I feel very lonely!" He said quietly and sighed softly, "The more prosperous I am, the lonelier I feel. Everything seems to have nothing to do with me and I am isolated from the world. This feeling is different from what you are feeling now.
It's probably similar, you only live in your own world, no one can enter or get out."
Darkness gradually enveloped me, and the world seemed to be in a dark dungeon with no light.
In late June, Empress Chu couldn't bear it anymore and asked to see Emperor Ming Yuan. She was going to make plans for King Qi's marriage.
Emperor Ming Yuan summoned King Qi to the palace and informed him of the matter. King Qi objected and said some extreme words for the first time, and the father and son had an unpleasant quarrel.
Although Emperor Ming Yuan was angry, after experiencing Yu Wenjun's incident, he paid special attention to his son and asked Yu Wenhao to talk to him. It was not enough to be alone like this all the time.
Yu Wenhao then held a banquet in his mansion and invited him to come and have a drink.
When he was already half drunk, Yu Wenhao asked him, "Is it because of Yuan Yongyi that you don't want to choose a concubine?"
King Qi poured the wine and lowered his eyes, "If I tell my brother that it's not the case at all, he won't believe it, but if I say it's all because of her, that's not the case either."
"Is there any other reason?" Yu Wenhao asked.
King Qi raised his head, his eyes clear and bright, "Why are you getting married?"
Yu Wenhao took a sip of wine and said, "Want to talk about something profound?"
"At least don't tell me, it's just to reproduce."
Yu Wenhao smiled, "This is the reason why people get married. Of course, there can be many other reasons for a prince to choose a concubine."
"If that person is not what I like, what will happen if I marry him? It's just one more person in the house." King Qi said solemnly.
"It can be seen that it is because that person is not Yuan Yongyi. If you still want to marry her, my father can issue an edict."
"I said, this is one of the reasons," King Qi leaned on the back of his chair, his eyes filled with loneliness, "If that person were her, I might not marry her."
"Oh?" Yu Wenhao was surprised by this answer.
King Qi looked at him and said: "She had an engagement with Lu Yuan. Although the engagement has been canceled now, does she still have me in her heart? I don't know. In fact, saying not to marry just saves some face for myself. I am
I don’t want to wrong her, but if she has to marry due to my father’s will, wouldn’t it mean that the last trace of affection between me and her is lost?”
"It seems reasonable." Yu Wenhao smiled and poured wine for him personally, "Lao Qi, you have grown up... But, don't you go and fight for Yuan Yongyi?"
King Qi smiled bitterly, "Can I fight for it? It would be unkind for me to fight for it now. It is only fair to at least wait until Brother Lu wakes up."
"The Lu family has adopted Yuan Yongyi as their adopted daughter. Even if Lu Yuan wakes up, it is impossible for them to be together." Yu Wenhao said.
"That is the wishful thinking of the Lu family and the Yuan family. Why have you ever asked Brother Lu?" King Qi shook his head, "This is unfair. At least Brother Lu must say something."
Yu Wenhao patted him on the shoulder, "It's very kind of you to do this, but Lu Yuan may not be able to wake up. If he doesn't wake up, won't he get married in this life?"
"It's better to lack than to overdo it!" King Qi said solemnly.
Yu Wenhao nodded, "Well, since you have decided to do this, my brother will definitely support you. As for my father, I will be the one to take care of it. If anything happens, I will take care of it for you."
King Qi looked at him, his eyes full of gratitude, "Thank you!"
