rich concubine

Chapter 1615: Family love that I dare not long for

When he finished saying this, he didn't know whether she was too sensitive or thought too much, but he felt that the atmosphere had become weird, and he did not dare to look at his father's reaction.

The emperor just looked at him for a while and then said with a smile: "It's okay to look at each other. Marrying a concubine is never careless. If you have something in mind, don't be embarrassed and dare not say it out loud."

King Changshan was silent and said: "Everything is decided by my father."

This time, his answer was much stiffer. For the first time, the emperor felt that he suddenly couldn't understand his son. It seemed that he didn't pay much attention to him, and he didn't know what his inner thoughts were.

However, the emperor did not reveal anything. He only said: "Your mother-in-law has told me that she prefers the girl from the Xie family, who is your cousin. I have seen that child and she came to take care of the queen." When I was a child, the queen also praised him as a good child."

King Changshan's back stiffened and he suddenly felt a chill on his back. After a long while, he said, "If it's my cousin, I don't think it's appropriate."

After saying this, he fell silent, showing obvious nervousness and avoidance.

The emperor was also stunned. He originally thought that this was the result of what the mother and son had discussed long ago. It was not a new thing since ancient times for a prince to marry his biological mother's daughter, but it was also taboo for kings.

In particular, he is a candidate for the prince who has the ability to compete for the position of prince. Now, his two sons have been crowned kings. If they go up, they will be the prince and the future emperor. No matter which dynasty it is, for this dragon Chairs, brothers scheming among themselves, forming cliques for personal gain, trying to use external forces to consolidate their own power and possibilities.

Among them, the most effective and taboo one is the marriage of princes.

Frankly speaking, when Meng Yan, who was still the eldest prince, wanted to marry a girl from the eldest family, as a father, the emperor was happy. No father did not want his son to marry a beautiful woman, but as a king, he was It worried him.

After all, the emperor is no longer a young emperor. His years have passed, but his prestige still remains. However, in the eyes of ministers looking to the future, it is most beneficial to support a prince who may ascend the throne.

But in order to ascend the throne and obtain this supreme honor, the relationship between father and son has to be abandoned, and brothers and sisters have to be cut off. Everything seems less important.

This is undoubtedly sad for the royal family. The royal love between mother and child lasts longer than the love between father and son. It is very realistic and cruel. In the harem, it is inevitable that the mother is more valuable than the child. But if the children grow up, The importance of a son to his mother is also an important factor. Mother and son have always helped each other. No prince would despise his mother for being born too high, but would worry that his father did not have that much love for him and would worry about himself. In the hearts of fathers, they are inferior to other brothers. Not only do they regard the brothers around them as stumbling blocks, but their father may also be a stumbling block.

For a man like Emperor Meng who was so decisive, brave and resourceful, at this age and stage, he could not help but think about these things.

Therefore, when Meng Yan named him to marry the eldest daughter, as a king and a father, he was very happy and comforted, but he also felt an uncontrollable sense of fear.

Yes, an emperor who dominates the world will also feel fear.While he was satisfied that his son had become his own person and learned to plan for himself, even if he had scheming intentions, this was what he was happy to see. However, when he thought of himself sitting on this high position, he felt chilled from the high place. When he looked back, Even when one's own children may become a threat, it is inevitable to feel sad.

This may be the sadness of being a king's father, which can never be resolved.

He also tested it. He said: "You are my most proud son. You came to me before I got this world. To be honest, compared to other princes, I am more interested in you." Your expectations are higher, not only because you are my eldest son, but also because your mother is my beloved wife."

"..."

"I am no longer as young as I was then. I will also worry sometimes. I will also worry that my favoritism and love for you and your mother will blind me. You should know that there has never been family affection in the Tian family, but My love for you and your mother has never changed."

"Yes, my son has always understood that although his father is a king, he treats his son and his mother the same way as before."

"So, I shouldn't have chosen a girl from the eldest family to marry you, especially now that you are actively hoping to marry a girl from the eldest family."

Meng Yan was stunned at the time, but he was very calm. He said: "Everything arranged by the father for the son is the best. The son never dares to doubt the father's intentions. The son also knows that the girl from the eldest family It’s not easy to marry. No matter what he thought before, now, Er Chen wants to marry her. No matter who she is, she is the person he wants to marry. If the father wants to get any guarantee from Er Chen, Er Chen never likes to say He was superficial, but he dared to say a word to his father..."

"The son is loyal to his father, and the son's filial piety towards his father will not change. Time will prove that the father's love and expectations for his son are worth it."

At that time, he would be worried about Meng Yan marrying a girl from the eldest family. Even though this marriage was something he had planned for a long time and was a path he had clearly paved for his son, in the end, he still tolerated it. He couldn't help but test his son's sincerity, and he was afraid that everything he did would be unworthy.

She would feel this kind of uneasiness about her eldest son, who she had always placed high hopes on, not to mention the imperial concubine who always had her desires written on her face. It was really clear what she wanted. Her intention to pave the way for her son was so obvious that it also made him How disgusting.

Therefore, he did not like the girl from the Xie family, but he did not expect that his second son would not have such thoughts. Looking at him like this, it didn't seem like he was telling lies.

For a moment, he was a little surprised. He took a deep breath and said, "Since you have your own ideas, my father will not force you. If you have a girl you like, it will be convenient for your mother and concubine to talk to your father." , you are my father’s son, and my father will not be careless about your marriage, okay, you go and see your mother, she is in much better spirits these days.”

Even in his serious thoughts and in his partiality, the candidate for the crown prince in his heart has been decided. He also knows that this is unfair to his other sons, but he is also a person with seven emotions and six desires. Maybe it's really impossible to treat all children equally, but he will never be careless about what a father should do.This can be considered as compensation for his children.
