Although I am the emperor of the empire, I am also Dongling Dou Rongrui. I will never allow those ministers to influence my life in the name of doing good for me and the good of the world...
My adoptive father is right, no matter how gentle and elegant I look on the outside, I am just like my father in my heart, a strong and domineering man!
Before I ascended the throne, I hid my strength and dominance so well that even Cui Xiaoting and the others who were close to me did not know my true nature.
Apart from my father and mother, the only ones who know my true nature are Zhezhe and Feng Jin, who grew up with me.
Zhezhe is my right-hand man secretly, and Feng Jin is my uncle in name, and is my official official. Even if these two people know my true nature, they will not or dare not say anything more, because they both know it very well.
, what a ruthless person I am!
When it comes to ruthlessness, I am just like my father. Zhezhe and Feng Jin know me very well. They know very well what kind of person I am, and they dare not betray me!
Because of his upbringing, in order to protect himself, my father could only show his strength and ruthlessness in front of others, so no one dared to offend my father, but...
I don't need that!
I have strong parents, I have a noble background, and I hold the power of life and death for everyone in the world. I curb my domineering and ruthless nature, and watch the drama unfold like a bystander...
As long as the ministers' requests are not excessive, I will usually agree to them. After all, I need these people to do things, and I can't beat them all to death and then die of exhaustion myself.
However, some people just care about food and not fight. Seeing that I am an emperor who is nicer than my father, these people forget how tough I was when I first came to the throne and actually forced me to have a wife and a concubine!
twenty?
I admit that I am indeed not young anymore, and it is time to start a family and start a business, but what does this have to do with the ministers in the court?
It's my business whether to establish a queen or not, and it's also my business whether to accept a concubine or not. When will it be the turn of these old people to point their fingers at Dongling Rongrui's affairs?
Of course, as a sage emperor, I did not put on a murderous posture, nor did I leave with a dark face like my father. I just asked them to pick out the suitable candidate...
Not to mention, in order to marry into the royal family, the noble ladies in the capital actually declined the age of marriage one by one. They only waited for me to ascend the throne and take a concubine so that I could marry into the royal family...
I think my mother was unmarried at the age of 18. She was considered an old girl in the capital and it was difficult for her to get married. But what about now?
There are actually a large number of eighteen-year-old girls who are still unmarried, waiting to be appointed by me, the emperor, and there are even twenty- and twenty-two-year-old girls who are still unmarried.
How much do these people want to marry into the palace?
There is only one queen, do they think that this position must be theirs?
It's really ridiculously naive...
Fortunately, the Wang family, Cui family, Zhai family and Yuwen family did not have suitable girls. Their daughters were engaged as soon as they reached age and only waited until they were eighteen years old to get married.
The reason why we stay until the age of eighteen is because my mother said that it is too early for a woman to get married at the age of fifteen and not be able to have children. Therefore, most families nowadays will get engaged at the age of fourteen or fifteen and get married at the age of eighteen.
Anyone who is not engaged at the age of eighteen definitely has an agenda, and I really don’t like these people who have an agenda...
After getting the list, the group of ministers finally stopped, thinking that I was going to choose a queen or a concubine in the harem. I saw how nervous and expectant they all were, and I couldn't help laughing...
These people don't think that, like my father, I just go straight, do they?
I sat on the dragon throne with a smile, presided over the morning court in a good mood, and even praised a few ministers who had done well.
In the eyes of the courtiers, although I have a good temper and am a sage, I have always been very demanding and rarely praise others. I was praised to such an extent that some of the ministers felt a little ecstatic, but I still only smiled and said nothing...
After the morning court, Zhezhe came to see me.
He has a young man from a wealthy family who is old but not engaged. On the list are Su Wenhang, Feng Jin, and Zhai Xiaoming.
It seems that there are not only many older, unmarried women in the Imperial City, but also many older, unmarried men.
"Quzhe, where are you?" I asked after reading Zhezhe's name from beginning to end.
No surprise, Zhezhe's handsome face immediately darkened: "The emperor doesn't think that these fools are worthy of me, right?" Others don't know what the emperor wants to do, but Zhezhe knows...
Zhezhe is still as proud and arrogant as before.
Of course, Zhezhe is proud of himself.
"If these women are not worthy of you, then pick one who can." I found out that I am so kind. The ministers chose a group of women for me, and Zhezhe even liked them, but I was not even angry...
…
"Is there such a thing as this in this world?"
Zhezhe started talking wildly again, and I silently looked at the sky...
Why is this answer so familiar?
It seems that Mr. Yuan Xi said this?
Zhai Xiaoming also said that?
Who else has also said...
There are too many to remember.
"If you do this, you will never find a wife." I persuaded you with good intentions, but when I thought about my situation, I couldn't help but sigh...
There are many good women in the world, but none of them are the ones I want.
I hope that, like my father, I can find a woman that I like and love deeply. I don’t need a harem of three thousand, I just want a sweetheart who can stay with me until I grow old, but I know...
This is a luxury for an emperor. Not everyone is as lucky as my father to be able to meet the woman he likes and marry her.
You know, there are many people who want to marry my mother and queen. It is definitely his luck that my father is attracted by my mother and queen.
That's all, that's all, it's better not to think about this kind of thing. The more I think about it, the more depressed I become.
I signaled Zhezhe to step aside, and began to look through the two lists, as well as the family relationships behind them, to select the person I thought was most suitable for a match. As for relationships?
Marriage matters, parents' orders, matchmaker's words, where can you find so many loving couples? There are not many couples who can meet before marriage. Relationships should be cultivated after marriage...
My mother-in-law once said that there is nothing wrong with a well-matched marriage. At least the two of them have the same values and the same perspective on problems. And as the emperor, do I need to care whether they have feelings or not?
The two lists were evenly matched. I picked out the names of several people from Wenhang, and then started matching...
One hundred newlyweds were matched in an instant. Even I couldn't help but praise myself. I am indeed a wise emperor!
He gave the list to Cui Xiaoting and asked him to draft the edict. The edict must be delivered to these people today. As for whether hundreds of edicts will break Cui Xiaoting's handwriting, this...
I didn't have time to care, because my father and mother heard the news and called me to another hospital...
Twenty-five!
My father and mother set a time limit for me, and they gave me another five years. If I don't meet someone I like within five years, then I will choose a woman I like and make me my queen, and then give birth to a child. As for the concubine?
My father and mother have no requirements for me. They can accept whatever they want or don't want, as long as I can withstand the pressure...
The world is like this. Not everyone can find someone who is close to their heart. You can see that my adoptive father never married.
Moreover, as an emperor, the only one who can guard a woman for the rest of his life is my father.
"Brother Emperor, you are so pitiful." Xiaobao lay on my back and looked at me with sympathy. In his eyes, being an emperor is a very hard thing, especially now that he is forced to marry, he deserves sympathy.
…
But, Xiaobao, do you know that if your brother doesn't bear these responsibilities, how can you have the freedom you have today?
I smiled, pinched Xiaobao's cheek, and firmly told my father and mother: I understand my responsibilities and I will not act willfully.
Five years is enough!
If, like my father, I still can't find a woman who shares my heart in five years, I will obediently establish a concubine and be a good emperor...
Love is a luxury for emperors. My father is the luckiest emperor in the world...
