Xia Shang was really confused. He never thought that this young queen would have such a persistent and crazy idea.
emperor?
hehe……
Xia Shang smiled bitterly and turned his head to look at that high position.
Although he had thought about it, it was just a normal desire revealed by human greed.
The reason why people are human is that they have the ability to control their desires, not to be controlled by desires, and to make the right choices.
That high throne may give people temporary satisfaction, but it can also make people get lost in the whirlpool of power and control.
Look at the crazy old man in the main hall, and the prince lying on the ground not knowing whether he is alive or dead.
Didn’t they all get themselves bruised and bruised just for this position?
"I have my own expectations and the life I need. The road of the emperor is not my road. I just want to be an ordinary and simple person. Queen, maybe I really let you down..."
"You! You are so disappointing!" the queen scolded, but she quickly changed her tone, "Okay, I can ignore the path you choose. But you must at least consider our children! Our children are born
In the imperial family, he is the one who will inherit the great power."
"Why are you so stubborn? My child must not get involved in the struggle for power, let alone the struggle between emperors. This will kill him!"
"Your child? He is also my Qinzheng's child! As the queen of my Qinzheng, my child will definitely become an emperor in the future and inherit the great world! I can ignore you if you don't have lofty ambitions, but my child must
To get ahead, you must become someone the whole world needs to look up to!"
Seeing the queen refusing to give in, Xia Shang became increasingly uneasy.
Before, he was still grateful that he did not have to make a difficult choice and that his children did not become weights in the emperor's hands.
But now, his child has fallen into the hands of a woman who is extremely crazy about power, and what makes things even more troublesome is that this woman is also the mother of the child.
Facing the emperor, Xia and Shang were able to fight to the death.
But facing the mother of his child, Xia Shang seemed a little at a loss.
Although he is the father of the child, why can he take the child away from his mother's arms?
The child should go on a journey under the arrangement of the mother
It is a completely different path from what the father envisioned. As a father, what reason do you have for your children to follow your own vision?
Moreover, judging from the mother's mentality of hoping that her son will succeed, the Queen's idea is a bit extreme and crazy, but she cannot always say that it is a mistake.
Xia Shang couldn't decide whether his child wanted to be an ordinary person or an eternal emperor...
It wasn't until this moment that Xia Shang realized that his original mistakes were being magnified infinitely. He had no control over this woman, let alone this child.
But as a father, can he just turn a blind eye and give up on his children?
Thinking about it, Xia Shang felt a little headache.
"Hmph..." the queen sneered, "Why don't you speak? Do you not know what to say at all? I can tell you clearly that as long as I, Qin Zheng, am still alive, I will not let my children do nothing.
Even if the road ahead is full of dangers, how can a man's life not be full of ups and downs? I am sure that my child will not let me down and will never be a coward like his father under my guidance! Unless
You kill me, otherwise you won't be able to take away the child."
"I...how could I kill you? It was you who saved me and gave birth to my child..."
"So you still remember that I saved you back then. Then why don't you think about us at all now? You want to be an ordinary person, but you can't decide the path of your child, let alone what I want.
Life."
Xia Shang was silent for a while and sighed: "That's all, it's enough for me to know that the child is not in danger. There are not many threats in the palace now. You can take care of this child from now on."
"You're leaving like this?"
"What else do you want from me? This is already my biggest concession."
"The child is so young now, and our mother has no protection at all. How can you walk away with peace of mind?"
"Just tell me what you want me to do. As long as it's not against humanity, I will try my best to satisfy you. Just think of it as a little compensation for you and the children."
"I want you to give us protection. I don't know what exactly I need to do. But I hope you can cooperate with me in the court in the future. We should work together inside and outside to create a stable growth environment for the child. After all, the child is too young, and we need time to
Raise your child well."
"I can do this."
Xia Shang nodded in agreement, but he also understood that the queen was using the child to take advantage of him and let him do something for her.
Xia Shang was not very repulsive about this.
After all, Xia Shang owed his children, and whether he admitted it or not, after having a child, he could not treat the queen as tightly as he did.
Even if he was coerced by the queen, Xia Shang had no reason to complain.
I'm just a little upset that the life I expected to live away from power disputes is no longer in sight.
Xia Shang felt very tired, saluted the queen, and then left the hall silently.
After walking a few steps, the Queen's voice came from behind: "Don't spread what happened in the palace today. Before the child was a fledgling, his name was Li Simu. But I will not hide it from the child. His real name is Xia, and his
My father is the most unique man in the world."
Xia Shang sneered and left the palace alone without looking back.
…
…
The matter is not over yet, but it has finally come to an end.
Returning to the Xia Mansion in the capital, he found that his house was completely deserted.
The family members from Jiangnan were all driven back by themselves.
The disciples at Shuiyue Villa have also left.
The newly purchased house does not have much use, and many rooms are empty.
The rest at home are some unfamiliar faces, they are all servants rarely seen in Xia and Shang Dynasties.
The only one I am familiar with seems to be Li Xiaoxin.
Seeing Xia Shang's return, Li Xiaoxin threw herself into Xia Shang's arms excitedly: "Ms. sir, you are finally back. I'm so scared and worried..."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I don't know what I'm worried about. I always feel uneasy. I feel that my husband will encounter many dangers when he leaves this time."
Li Xiaoxin was very excited and started crying while talking.
Xia Shang and Li Xiaoxin may not have such a deep friendship, but when a man comes home and has a woman who cares about him so sincerely, everyone will feel a little bit of warmth.
This is also the sense of satisfaction that only having a family can experience.
When the other women were not around, Li Xiaoxin appeared, filling the little bit of loss that was least noticeable in Xia Shang's heart.
When I look at this woman again, she seems to occupy more of a place in my heart.
