Chapter 937 Depression in the Face of Unfulfilled Wishes
Xiao Jingyi looked at his mother, Madam Zhou, and said, "I have remembered what you said, Mother."
Mother, rest assured, your son will definitely facilitate Xiao Jingyu's marriage alliance with another country!
We must ensure that the Emperor's decree of marriage is revoked once again!
Haha, an emperor who couldn't even grant his own son a marriage decree. Two imperial edicts for marriage were revoked one after another. In the end, his son still married someone else, and someone from another country at that...
His most beloved son, the most esteemed Prince Yu of Jingyue Kingdom, ultimately became a tool for political marriage...
In this way, how much of the emperor's authority would remain?
After that, who would seriously follow his imperial edicts or his verbal instructions?
The Emperor's words are like farts!
Based on this alone, the Emperor will become a laughingstock!
The scheme had barely begun when a sly smile of triumph appeared on Xiao Jingyi's face.
A wise child is better than his mother.
How could I not know my own son?
There was no smile on Zhou's face.
She looked at her son and said coldly, "Yi'er, what you mean by saying this is that your cousin Xiao Jingyu will not be able to marry Leng Rongyue and will be forced into a marriage alliance in the end."
Make your imperial uncle the biggest joke among all emperors in history;
The most important thing is...
Zhou paused for a moment before speaking slowly, "Your main point is that you haven't given up on Leng Rongyue yet."
is it?
Even though you know you can use Leng Rongyue to pave a path for yourself and attract a force, you still don't want to let go.
Yeah? "
Xiao Jingyi didn't care at all that his thoughts had been exposed; that was exactly what he was thinking all along.
“Mother, you are right. Your son never intended to give up on Leng Rongyue.”
The son will not abandon Leng Rongyue either.
"Then Leng Rongyue must be the son's!"
"Yi'er!"
Zhou was so angry that she shouted.
Xiao Jingyi remained unconcerned.
Xiao Jingyi glanced at his furious mother, slowly stood up, bowed to Zhou Shi, and said, "Mother, your son has grown up and knows what he wants."
They also know what they absolutely must get their hands on!
"To be honest, Mother, in my heart, Leng Rongyue weighs more than ten cities!"
"you!
Yi'er, those who aspire to great things must be able to distinguish between what is important and what is not!
You need to think this through carefully: do you really want the country and its people?
Or would you prefer a beautiful woman?
As your mother just said, once you become the emperor of Jingyue Kingdom, you can have as many Leng Rongyues as you want. Why are you so fixated on Leng Rongyue at this time?
You value this woman so much, you're blinded by her beauty. Aren't you afraid that your lust will ruin important matters... Won't important matters be difficult to achieve?
"Mother, there's no need to exaggerate."
The son's need for a cold-melting month won't delay important matters.
Perhaps on the contrary, with Leng Rongyue around, his son might achieve great things much more easily!
Besides, even if my son manages to collect all the beauties in the world in the future... none of them will be Leng Rongyue!
"You...you are truly stubborn and obstinate!"
Zhou was so angry that her finger was trembling slightly as she pointed at Xiao Jingyi.
"Mother, just wait and see. We'll see if Leng Rongyue is worthy of my attention and if she's fit to be the Empress!"
Xiao Jingyi gave Zhou a perfunctory bow.
"Mother, please rest. I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now!"
After saying that, Xiao Jingyi left the Buddhist hall without looking back, and casually closed the door behind him, leaving Zhou Shi inside, trembling with anger.
Zhou was angry sitting in the Buddhist hall, and Xiao Jingyi, who had left, was also very unhappy!
There was no other reason than that Xiao Jingyi felt that his mother had never cared about her son's happiness, but was only concerned with the supreme throne.
To be precise, the reason why the Empress Dowager wanted her to ascend the throne was so that she could become the Empress Dowager!
Back then, she couldn't become empress because of her father, the crown prince. Now, however, she is single-mindedly focused on becoming empress dowager, fearing that other things might hinder her dream of becoming empress dowager!
Xiao Jingyi left the courtyard where the small Buddhist hall was located, feeling sullen all the way, and headed towards his study.
Walking along the path in the back garden, he "accidentally" encountered his two concubines one after the other.
Qin Yanyan, the younger sister of Qin Lu, the deputy commander of the Five Cities Garrison, and Yu Xinrui, the daughter of Yu Hong, the instructor of spear and staff in the Imperial Guard;
"Your Highness!"
"This humble servant greets Your Highness!"
Just as Xiao Jingyi was about to approach, Qin Yanyan gracefully appeared before him, bypassing a small artificial hill. Her face showed the surprise of an unexpected encounter, and she called out sweetly and gave a curtsy.
Ever since he saw Leng Rongyue in front of the Shuntian Prefecture government hall, let alone this concubine Qin, even his own princess...
No, it's the former princess. Even all the noble ladies of the capital, including the former princess Zhang Miaoying and her sister Zhang Miaotong, have become unbearable and vulgar. They are all so vulgar that they are repulsive to look at!
For this reason, ever since he met Leng Rongyue, Xiao Jingyi has never entered the inner quarters again, nor has he ever stayed overnight in the rooms of any of his wives or concubines.
First, from that time on, all he wanted was Leng Rongyue, and his whole heart was filled with Leng Rongyue.
But it's difficult to achieve this goal immediately.
When things don't go as planned, one inevitably becomes depressed and loses the desire to seek pleasure in the inner quarters.
