Mrs. Liu rolled her eyes lightly, and after being silent for a while thoughtfully, she looked at Liu Zhi'an with awe-inspiring eyes, smiled and nodded.
At this moment, she had figured everything out.
"Old man, I understand, I understand.
There were some things I couldn't understand before, but after your detailed explanation, I now understand everything."
Liu Zhi'an raised his left hand and gently fanned the smoke that was rising in front of his eyes. He happily raised his eyes and looked at his wife.
"Madam, have you really figured it all out?"
Listening to Liu Zhi'an's questioning words, Mrs. Liu raised her lips and smiled lightly, nodding without hesitation.
"Yeah, yeah, that's right, I've really figured it all out.
The meaning of what you just said was not just what you wanted to tell me.
One day in the future, when that kid Chengfeng has hundreds of thousands of elite troops who have experienced hundreds of battles in his hands.
So, the child Chengfeng is nominally the prince of our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty in the Western countries, but in fact he is the real person in charge of all important military and political affairs in the Western countries.
In this case, our eldest grandson, who is called His Highness the Prince of the Dragon Heavenly Dynasty, is actually no different from a king of a country who controls thousands of miles of mountains and rivers!
To put it in more straightforward terms, in the future, when our eldest brother, Yun'er, Yan'er, Lian'er and the others leave the West and return to our Dalong.
In this way, the child Chengfeng will be a well-deserved king of a country in the Western countries!"
Mrs. Liu spoke in an exclamatory tone, and with a slight smile, she reached up to Liu's waist and picked up her own wine glass from the low table.
Then, she lowered her eyes slightly and looked at Liu Zhi'an.
"Old man, no wonder you said that the primary purpose of our eldest son's journey to the west was to open up another country for that boy Chengfeng.
Looking at it now, it’s really like this!”
As soon as Mrs. Liu finished speaking, she nodded slightly and took a sip of the wine in her hand to moisten her throat.
Liu Zhi'an gently took a puff of dry smoke, looked up at his wife with a smile, and then twisted his body and changed his position.
"Hahaha, madam, it seems you have really figured it all out!"
"Nonsense, of course I have really figured it all out.
Otherwise, how could I have said what I just said?"
Mrs. Liu pretended to be unhappy and whispered back to Liu Zhi'an. She raised the wine glass to her mouth with a smile and drank the remaining wine in one go.
Immediately, she put down the wine glass in her hand, picked up the wine bottle and refilled herself with a glass of wine, then slightly lowered her head and looked at Liu Zhi'an, who was puffing away the smoke.
"Old man, you told me before that according to your speculation, Zhi'er's child has two purposes for going west this time.
You have finished talking about the first purpose, now you should tell me about the second purpose of our boss, that bastard."
When Liu Zhi'an heard this, he looked at Madam Liu with a slightly raised brow and chuckled a few times.
"Hehehe, the second purpose?"
Seeing Liu Zhi'an's smiling face, Mrs. Liu nodded in response without hesitation.
"That's right, you should tell me about Zhi'er's child's second purpose."
Liu Zhi'an smiled and nodded. After taking a long puff of dry tobacco, he leaned forward and gently knocked out the shredded tobacco that was still smoking in the pot under his soles.
Immediately afterwards, he first put the dry tobacco bag in his hand back on the low table, and then picked up the wine glass on the table and put it into his mouth.
"call."
Liu Zhi'an took a breath of wine, raised his head and looked at his wife with a smile, and then raised his left hand to point in the direction of the West Crossing Courtyard.
Seeing her master's actions, Mrs. Liu looked slightly startled, and instinctively turned sideways to look in the direction of Liu Zhi'an's finger.
"Huh? Old man, what are you referring to?
I see there is nothing else there except the wall?"
Listening to his wife's confused tone, Liu Zhi'an suddenly smiled softly with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Hehehehe, hello, my old lady!
I am not referring to the courtyard wall in our courtyard, but to the west-crossing courtyard in the distance that is separated by several courtyard walls!"
When Mrs. Liu heard what her master said, she immediately withdrew her gaze and looked down at Liu Zhi'an, who looked slightly helpless.
"The Bieyuan in Xikuoyuan, isn't that where Chengzhi and Jingyao live?
The place where Chengzhi and his wife live, this has nothing to do with Zhier’s second purpose..."
Just as Liu Zhi'an said before, Mrs. Liu is a woman with a clear heart and a bright heart.
Therefore, the slightly questioning words in her mouth suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking.
It can be seen from her current facial reaction that she seems to have realized something.
Mrs. Liu gently pursed her red lips a few times with a look of understanding. She first raised her eyes and glanced in the direction of the west courtyard of the inner courtyard, and finally shifted her gaze to Liu Zhi'an's face.
"Old man, are you saying that our eldest son's second purpose has something to do with Chengzhi's child?"
Liu Zhian moved the pillow behind him twice with his backhand, raised his brows and nodded gently.
"Madam, based on my understanding of the character of our boss, that bastard.
His second purpose is probably to have something to do with that kid Chengzhi."
Mrs. Liu frowned slightly and stood up from the armrest of Liu Zhian's rocking chair. After gently twisting her waist a few times, she walked to her rocking chair with light steps, turned slightly sideways and sat down slowly.
on the chair behind him.
Immediately, she put her arms on the armrests of the rocking chair and looked at Liu Zhi'an curiously.
"Old man, what do you say about this matter?"
Hearing his wife's questioning words, Liu Zhi'an turned over slightly and looked at Mrs. Liu with a slightly sad expression.
"Madam, as far as I know, our eldest son, that bastard, had already left the Imperial Seal to Chengzhi's child before he left the capital.
Madam, I don’t need to tell you more about what the imperial seal means, right?”
Mrs. Liu listened to her master's inquiry and nodded without hesitation.
"Old man, I've lived for more than half my life. Of course I know what it means to have the national jade seal in my hand."
As soon as Mrs. Liu finished speaking, she frowned and became silent without waiting for Liu Zhian's reply.
Seeing his wife suddenly frowning, Liu Zhi'an didn't answer anything, but just let out a silent sigh.
After about half a cup of tea, Mrs. Liu came to her senses from the silence and raised her eyes to look at Liu Zhi'an.
"Old man, do you mean that Zhi'er has already planned to appoint Chengzhi as the crown prince?"
Liu Zhi'an tapped his fingers gently on the armrest of the rocking chair, and with a complicated expression, he first nodded gently to Mrs. Liu, and then shook his head gently.
Seeing Liu Zhi'an, he nodded first, and then shook his head. Madam Liu immediately rolled her eyes in disgust.
"Oh, you old thing, you are nodding and shaking your head, I'm almost confused.
Just answer my question directly, yes or no?"
"Yes and no."
After hearing such an answer from Liu Zhian's mouth, the expression on Mrs. Liu's face was slightly startled.
"Ah? What? Yes or no?" After Mrs. Liu reacted, she immediately glared at Liu Zhi'an angrily: "Old man, isn't what you said the same as what you didn't say?"
Liu Zhi'an slowly sat up, looking at Mrs. Liu happily, while he picked up a peanut from the plate and threw it into his mouth.
"Madam, it's not that my answer is the same as not saying anything, it's that you didn't understand the meaning of my words."
Mrs. Liu frowned slightly and asked softly: "Huh? How do you say it?"
Liu Zhi'an turned his head and glanced in the direction of the west courtyard, narrowing his eyes deeply.
"Madam, judging from the past actions of our boss, that bastard, when he was still in Dalong.
In the heart of our family's eldest son, he definitely wants to appoint Chengzhi's child as the crown prince and heir apparent, and let him inherit the chair in the palace.
However, whether the eldest son of our family will ultimately appoint the child Chengzhi as the crown prince and make him the future successor of Dalong depends entirely on whether the child Chengzhi himself can live up to his expectations.
If Chengzhi's son is good enough, then he will definitely not lose his position as the crown prince.
On the contrary, it will naturally be another result."
Mrs. Liu frowned slightly with a complicated expression, and let out a sigh of relief with her red lips slightly open.
"Old man, so that's why you nodded and shook your head just now."
Listening to his wife's question, Liu Zhi'an nodded without hesitation.
"Yes, that's exactly why.
My dear lady, you don’t even think about it.
Before that bastard of our family has actually appointed the crown prince, who dares to say that Chengzhi's child will definitely be the master of the East Palace and the successor of Dalong?"
After Mrs. Liu frowned and pondered for a while, she looked at Liu Zhi'an with complicated eyes.
"Old man, it's been a year or two since Chengzhi and Jingyao moved to live in the East Palace.
More than half a year ago, before Zhi'er took Yun'er, Yan'er, Lian'er, Wanyan, Xiaoxi and the other sisters to accompany Rongrong to the Gumo Kingdom to visit relatives, he had already left something like the national jade seal.
In the hands of that kid Chengzhi.
In addition to these two points, Chengzhi's child's prestige among the civil and military officials in the court is also very good.
Furthermore, there is Qi Liang, the brother-in-law of the two sisters, Ya'er and Yun'er, who share the same mother.
That kid Qi Liang, he is now the governor of the three prefectures.
And he is not an ordinary governor, but the governor of the three prefectures who oversees all important military and political affairs within the three prefectures!
Old man, Qi Liang is the biological uncle of Chengzhi’s child!
Qi Liang, as the biological uncle of the child Chengzhi, we don't even need to think about the matter of establishing the crown prince and heirloom in the future. We know that he will definitely spare no effort to support the child Chengzhi.
In the past, he had good abilities, and his prestige among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty was very good. Later, he had the full support of Qi Liang, his powerful uncle.
All these circumstances combined, aren't they enough to guarantee that Chengzhi's child will definitely become the crown prince and inherit the position of that chair in the future?"
Liu Zhi'an slowly sat up cross-legged, reached out and picked up the wine glass on the low table, brought it to his mouth, raised his head slightly and drank the wine in one gulp.
Then, he gently put down the toast in his hand and wiped the drink from the corner of his mouth with his fingers.
When Mrs. Liu saw this, she immediately reached around Liu's waist and lifted the jug to refill him with a glass of fine wine.
After Liu Zhi'an hit his lower back several times with his backhand, he looked at Mrs. Liu happily.
"Madam, you just said that Chengzhi and Jingyao have been living in the East Palace for a year or two?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!"
"Madam, my dear lady.
Don’t forget that in the past few years since the eldest son of our family took that position, he, Yun Yatou, Yaner Yatou, Lianer Yatou and his wife were not in the palace.
How long have you lived there?
The eldest son of our family, with his group of ladies and many children under his knees, does not live in the palace himself.
Madam, the eldest son of our family is the king of a country and the emperor of the day.
As a result, he, the king of a country, did not even live in the main palace of the palace!
In this case, do you think our boss, that bastard, really cares about the position of the so-called Lord of the East Palace?"
When Mrs. Liu heard her master's question, she pursed her lips a few times and frowned involuntarily.
"This! This! This, this!"
After Mrs. Liu hesitated for a few words, she finally said nothing.
At this moment, she clearly had a lot to say.
However, when she thought of Liu Zhi'an's inquiry just now, she couldn't express what she was thinking.
Even though the words in my heart are clearly on my lips, I still can't say them out.
Seeing his wife's complicated expression and shes hesitant to speak, Liu Zhi'an let out a sigh with a faint look in his eyes.
"well!"
"Where's the madam!"
"Hey, I'm listening, please continue talking."
"Madam, let's talk about the second point.
The Jade Seal of the State, the Jade Seal of the State.
Madam, what if I have the imperial seal in hand?
If our boss can give it away, he can naturally take it back.
Whose hand will the chair really pass to in the end? Isn’t it the boss of our family who has the final say?”
