"I don't understand. I'm so good to her, can't she feel it? Why is she still aloof from me?"
This feeling was going to drive Long Qijin crazy.
"Your Highness, actually, have you ever considered what Concubine An said? Maybe she is right."
Qi Ping had a feeling that what Dongfang Lian did didn't really help Long Qijin, or even just pushed Long Qijin into a situation where he couldn't stand alone.
"Of course I have thought about my concubine's words many times. I have doubted her more than once. Qi Ping, you know, I also want to give up on her.
"So hard work, pursuing a woman, and putting in all the effort, I would never have done it in the past.
"But for her... maybe, she changed me. Maybe, this palace is really unwilling.
"Why is it that the woman I like does not have me in her heart? I am not willing to accept this!"
"Even an emperor will have things he can't get, Your Highness. For example, immortality..." Qi Ping advised.
"Immortality? I don't pursue those things." Long Qijin's head became clearer and his drunkenness became less intense.
He stood up, took a deep breath, and seemed to have made up his mind, "Qi Ping, make an appointment with Miss Ouyang for me tomorrow."
"Miss Ouyang Xiang?" Qi Ping's eyes lit up. Is His Highness finally willing to follow Concubine An's advice?
"The queen's support comes from the Ouyang family." Long Qijin smiled, "So we must divide the Ouyang family. Also, we must not let the queen and Long Qihao form the same camp."
"This...I'm afraid..."
Qi Ping became more and more worried, is this okay?
The little Ouyang Xiang, even if her heart is with His Highness, can she influence the Ouyang family's Taiwei Mansion?
Also, the situation in the harem has become increasingly tense recently.
"It's okay, don't worry. I will go to court tomorrow and will find an opportunity to remind my father..."
Long Qijin already had an idea in his mind.
…
The next day.
Early morning.
Long Hong angrily scolded several ministers who were ineffective in handling matters, and handed some matters over to Long Qihao for handling.
Long Hong relied more and more on Long Qihao, and even left Long Qijin in the cold. Even if he occasionally left things to Long Qijin to do, it was not that important.
But Long Qijin did not express dissatisfaction. Even when the emperor asked him to accompany him for a walk in the imperial garden, Long Qijin acted very happy.
Long Hong actually wanted to know what his son was thinking. He had been relying more heavily on Long Qihao recently, and there was some discussion in the court, and Long Hong indeed had such thoughts.
But Long Qijin is also a force that cannot be ignored. If Long Qihao is to really secure his position, it is necessary for Long Qijin to be convinced.
"Jin'er, what do you think of your Sixth Emperor brother?"
Long Hong asked directly, there was no need to beat around the bush. Long Hong knew that with Long Qijin's intelligence, no matter how obscure his question, his son would be able to hear it.
Long Qijin smiled and said, "There are discussions in the court that the Sixth Emperor Brother is the one who will inherit the throne. The emperor is bold. The emperor feels that his father is in his prime, and the ministers' comments are disrespectful to his father..."
"Yeah?"
Long Hong knew very well how much time he had left. His body was now completely dragging.
"Jin'er, whose hands do you think Huang Kingdom should be handed over to?"
"Your Majesty, you dare. Originally, this matter was not something that you could interfere with. But when your father asked, you could only do your duty and let your father know your thoughts." "I don't understand why I treat her so much."
Okay, can’t she feel it? Why is she still so distant?”
This feeling was going to drive Long Qijin crazy.
"Your Highness, actually, have you ever considered what Concubine An said? Maybe she is right."
Qi Ping had a feeling that what Dongfang Lian did didn't really help Long Qijin, or even just pushed Long Qijin into a situation where he couldn't stand alone.

"Your Majesty, you are brave. Originally, this matter was not something that your Majesty could interfere with. But when your father asked about it, you could only do your duty and let your father know your thoughts."
