The couple looked at each other and stared for a moment.
Xie Mingxi finally opened her mouth and sighed: "I am indeed a little impatient."
"Sheng Hong, what we are going to do will create a precedent for the Qi Dynasty. It will cause shock to the government and the public, and lead to disputes in the court. The enemy we are going to face is not one or two people, but the common customs of all dynasties. We want to
What is broken is the default rule of everyone in the world."
"When I think of this, I feel excited and excited, but also a little unspeakably panicked."
"A'luo is still so young, and she has been cared for and grown up by us. If she were a princess, she would enjoy wealth and honor for the rest of her life. We can also protect her for life."
"But she will be named the Crown Princess in the future, will become the first empress of Daqi, will sit on the dragon throne that has been ruled by men for hundreds of thousands of years, and will also become the target of public criticism. Perhaps, she will also encounter many
An unexpected dilemma.”
"We can protect her from some things. But there are some storms that she can only bear by herself."
"When I think about these things, I feel anxious and uneasy. Sometimes I can even stay up all night."
Even if the storm comes, she is not afraid at all.
But when she thinks that a storm will fall on her daughter, even a calm, self-controlled and strong person like Xie Mingxi will feel anxious. This unknown anxiety also makes her anxious, and she can't wait to teach her daughter everything she knows.
.
Sheng Hong has never seen such a fragile Xie Mingxi.
There was a dull pain in his heart, and he whispered: "Mingxi, if you are afraid that A Luo will suffer in the future, then drop the matter of empress. I will teach Prince An well, Brother Ji, Er Lin, are also outstanding children. When they grow up,
, choose one person to inherit the throne. Our family of three will return to Shu to live our free and comfortable life."
Xie Mingxi's moment of vulnerability quickly disappeared, replaced by Sheng Hong's familiar calmness.
"No," Xie Mingxi said firmly, "There is destiny somewhere."
"You have no intention of competing for the throne, but you sit on the throne. I have no intention of being a queen, but now I am the queen of the middle palace. It can be seen that God has already arranged it. It doesn't matter whether you call me ambitious or selfish. In short, I want to
Try your best to teach A Luo and let her become an excellent princess."
"I want to prove to the world that an outstanding woman is not inferior to any man."
"You and my daughter are enough to shoulder the responsibilities of the Crown Princess."
"A'luo is still young, so I won't talk to her for now. I will make it clear to her when she is eight years old. If she shrinks back and is afraid, unwilling or afraid to take on the heavy responsibility, we will find another way out."
Sheng Hong looked at Xie Mingxi intently: "So, by letting Brother Ji and Brother Lin stay in the palace to study, is this a way out for A Luo?"
Brother Ting has never been in their consideration.
Even if Ah Luo fails to become the crown princess, if the two of them choose a suitable candidate from their nephews, it will only be either Brother Ji or Brother Lin.
Xie Mingxi raised her eyebrows and said bluntly: "That's right."
"They are A Luo's direct cousins. While they are still young, they can start studying together with A Luo. It's not too bad, but they can also cultivate a deep friendship. In the future, A Luo will not be willing or able to be the emperor's wife.
If you are a daughter, I will choose one from Ji Ge'er and Lin Ge'er to be the crown prince."
"They can take more care of A Luo in the future."
"If A'luo is outstanding enough, she can defeat Brother Ji and Brother Lin. In the future, when you make A'luo the crown princess, there will be less resistance."
You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. This is the best strategy for both.
Sheng Hong felt inferior to this scheming plan.
"Fortunately, you are my wife." Sheng Hong shook his head deliberately and sighed: "If you were my enemy, I would be restless and unable to sleep at night."
Xie Mingxi did not smile, but gave Sheng Hong a deep look: "Maybe, I will really plot against you. After you are eliminated, I will become the empress myself."
Sheng Hong: "..."
Seeing Sheng Hongsheng swallowing the egg, Xie Mingxi burst into laughter.
Sheng Hong bent his head and kissed her hard: "This joke is not funny at all!"
In the history books, there are actually many empresses who were ruthless and resourceful, direct or indirect regents. However, there was only one who truly lived up to the empress described by Xie Mingxi.
This period of history did not appear before Da Qi. Sheng Hong also mentioned it to Xie Mingxi once in a while when the couple were whispering. Unexpectedly, Xie Mingxi actually teased Sheng Hong about it.
After a long time, Sheng Hong raised his head and breathed a little quickly.
A strange blush appeared on Xie Mingxi's face, her lips were extremely red, and her eyes were bright and intoxicating.
Sheng Hong still remembered what he was going to say, so he picked up Xie Mingxi and put him on the bed.
…
A night of absurdity.
At five o'clock in the morning, Xie Mingxi was sleeping soundly.
Sheng Hong, who had worked hard all night, actually felt his waist was sore... As Sheng Hong got up and dressed, he secretly warned himself that no matter how busy he was in the future, he must continue to practice martial arts.
As the emperor, he is surrounded by people every day. Occasionally, when he goes out of the palace, he will be followed by a bunch of guards, so there is no opportunity to do anything. However, it is still necessary to practice martial arts, so as to have a strong and healthy body.
After getting dressed, Sheng Hong left the dormitory.
Xianghui came forward and asked softly: "Slave, do you want to wake up the Queen now? In a while, it will be time to go to Cining Palace and Funing Palace to pay her respects."
Sheng Hong said, "Don't wake up Mingxi, let her sleep a little longer. You send someone to Fulin Palace, Cining Palace, to deliver a message, saying that the Queen is feeling unwell, so she won't go to pay her respects today."
Xianghui: "..."
Xianghui silently looked at the emperor's words with a spring breeze on his face and agreed.
Xianghui always acted carefully. She sent people to Fulin Palace of Cining Palace to "report her illness" and also personally stayed outside the dormitory. The first thing A Luo did when she got up every morning was to see her mother and have breakfast together.
, just went to class.
Today is indeed no exception.
As soon as A Luo's figure appeared, Xiang Hui stepped forward with a smile, bowed and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the Queen is tired today and has not woken up yet. Please, Your Highness, have a meal by yourself! Let the Queen rest more.
moment."
According to A Luo's past temper, she must have rushed into the dormitory. These days, after being lectured by Xie Mingxi several times, A Luo was quite in awe of her mother. She did not dare to make a fuss and nodded obediently: "Okay, I will go and have breakfast by myself.
.”
Xianghui secretly breathed a sigh of relief and told Congyu to guard the dormitory while she served Princess Aluo for breakfast.
No one disturbed her, so Xie Mingxi slept until three o'clock in the morning before waking up.
Nothing happened like the king not going to court early. The queen in the middle palace was obsessed with male lust and failed to handle palace affairs in time... If Xie Mingxi was a little thin-skinned, I don't know how ashamed she would be.
Fortunately, Queen Xie was thick-skinned enough to suppress the irritation in her heart, and went to take a shower, change clothes, and have breakfast as if nothing had happened.
