Xu Qing and Xiao Ye were sitting on the steps outside the delivery room.
Xiao Ye sighed heavily.
Xu Qing patted Xiao Ye on the shoulder and said: "Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to work hard, Brother Xiao will definitely have a son. There is no need to sigh like this."
Xiao Ye shook his head and said, "If it's just a child, then that's it. Husband and wife work together to make a difference, but now Wan'er has other ideas."
"Other ideas?" Xu Qing heard Xiao Ye's words and asked curiously: "What ideas?"
Xiao Ye looked at Xu Qing and said, "Now Wan'er must accept a few more concubines, otherwise she will not be happy, and she will not eat if she is unhappy..."
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ye and said, "Isn't this good? The probability of having a son after marrying one more is higher."
Xiao Ye shook his head and said, "But wouldn't he really become the emperor in that case? The one from the Three Palaces and Sixth Academy..."
Xu Qing was a little confused when he heard Xiao Ye's words: "Brother Xiao, aren't you becoming an emperor now? What does it mean to really become an emperor?"
Xiao Ye said truthfully: "I plan to lose the throne to Prince Feng in two years. At that time, our family can travel to the three mountains and five mountains to be happy. It will be inconvenient if there are more concubines. In addition to the palace,
It seems there is no room for so many people, so can we still live wherever we want?"
When Xu Qing heard Xiao Ye's words, he looked at Xiao Ye in surprise.
I have to say that Xiao Ye’s considerations are indeed very reasonable!
Just think of the scene when the old Chu Emperor drafted women. Hundreds of women competed at the same time.
In the emperor's first draft, he must have four virtuous and virtuous concubines, right?
With a dozen ordinary concubines at the bottom, the emperor would have at least twenty more concubines after one draft.
Some people may not be able to use it in their lifetime, but they still have to have it.
I can live without it but you can't live without it.
Once the news that the emperor Xiao Ye wanted to draft a daughter was released, wouldn't the princes and ministers in the court try their best to get the legitimate daughter in?
The reason is to keep his family bound to the imperial power.
The old Emperor Chu, who was just a tool for reviewing memorials, was given a bunch of legitimate daughters by the princes and ministers, let alone Xiao Ye, the real emperor.
Once the news that Xiao Ye wants to choose a concubine is released, it is estimated that Xiao Ye will not be able to control how many concubines he will accept.
The emperor needs a balance. He can easily be criticized for showing favoritism to anyone. In addition, the daughters of these aristocratic families are all very good-looking, so it is easy to take in too many if you are not careful.
Xu Qing is envious of Ma, okay?
Now he only has four wives, and he still spent a lot of effort and money to trick her. Xiao Ye doesn't even need sweet words, he just needs to write an imperial edict and let Eunuch Wei howl, and the pretty girls will come to Xiao Ye in droves.
Walk.
Anyway, now that Prince Feng is in charge of the court, Xiao Ye will have no problem taking care of Wanji every day.
Xiao Ye actually looks like he's in pain?
You really don’t know how blessed you are when you are in the midst of blessings!
Xu Qing coughed and advised: "Brother Xiao, in fact, if you want to go out to play, there is no need to bring all the concubines with you in the future. You can just leave as soon as you take the queen and a few children.
Look, the Emperor took the Queen Mother to live in Chang'an. How cool is that?"
Xiao Ye shook his head and said: "There are so many women who don't care. Isn't it not very responsible?"
Xu Qing said: "You are the emperor, why are you still thinking about this? I never thought that Brother Xiao, who was clamoring every day to have a hundred concubines and have sons, would be so delicate and responsible."
Xiao Ye shook his head and said, "It's not that I have a sense of responsibility, but... what if I'm not in the palace for a long time and grass grows on my head?"
When Xu Qing heard this, he immediately understood Xiao Ye's worries.
That makes sense.
What if there are too many concubines and the rain and dew can't even get wet? How many concubines will be lonely in the palace and turn you green?
Who can bear this easily?
Xu Qing can keep busy with four people, and even if there are four more, he can still keep busy.
But Xiao Ye has at least twenty concubines. The key is that these women have no feelings for Xiao Ye.
At that time, Xiao Ye went out to play with the queen, and there were a lot of concubines in the harem. From time to time, a doctor was called, a bodyguard was called, and so on.
Maybe before the emperor knew it, there would be a green grassland above him!
This is really terrible!
Xu Qing couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
Being an emperor not only requires a strong psychological quality, but also a tolerant and broad heart.
Gee, not easy.
No wonder Xiao Ye is so used to his son that he still only talks about having a concubine. This is indeed a concern.
Xiao Ye waved his hands and said, "I don't want to think about this matter for now. Accepting a concubine or not is the second most important thing. That is... this time we all gave birth to a girl, who will we marry in the future?"
Xu Qing was stunned when he heard Xiao Ye's words: "This is indeed a problem. Now there are only a bunch of misbehaved people left. Why not promote free love?"
Xiao Ye looked at Xu Qing and couldn't help but said: "What if two people fall in love with the same policeman at the same time? Are they going to marry the same person?"
Xu Qing's expression changed after hearing this: "If any detective dares to touch my daughter, I will break his legs!"
Xiao Ye coughed and said, "Brother Xu, my father also thought so back then."
Xu Qing: "..."
Finally, Xu Qing sighed and said: "If it doesn't work, I can only urge Li Xun to find a queen as soon as possible. Otherwise, it is really not easy to find a well-matched husband for my daughter."
Xiao Ye also nodded in agreement. Although his relationship with Li Xun was very difficult, he wanted his daughter to marry into a well-matched family, so he probably urged Li Xun to give birth to two sons as soon as possible.
This is a common problem of old fathers. When he was young, the policeman married the princess, but the prince did not want to marry. The policeman had to scold the prince in his heart for being pedantic, imprisoning the woman's thoughts, and not allowing the woman to fall in love freely.
Now it's his turn to be a father. If his daughter really falls in love with a policeman like Xue'er and refuses to marry him, Xu Qing might be able to tear the policeman's skin apart.
His daughter, the dignified King of Han, would have to marry a prince even if she didn’t marry the emperor, right? How could he let his daughter suffer the consequences of marrying a poor boy?
At this time, Xu Qing suddenly understood why his parents would be so angry when a wealthy girl married a poor boy for love when he read the script, and even broke off the relationship with their daughter.
In the eyes of ordinary people, if a daughter shamelessly falls in love with Huang Mao who rides a will-o'-the-wisp and insists on giving birth to a child for him, it is a misfortune for the family, and she is heartbroken.
Is it possible that after becoming a wealthy family, looking at those poor scholars is actually the same as ordinary people looking at Huang Mao?
It’s so scary to think about it!
So when he deceived the little girl, in the eyes of the wise king, it was equivalent to his daughter running away with a yellow horse riding a will-o'-the-wisp?
