Chapter 523 Everyone has his own opinion
Shen Yiyi was dragged to the bed by Miss Liu, and before she could figure out what was going on, she was pushed under the bed.
"Crown Princess, are you satisfied?" Miss Liu looked at her lovingly.
He slowly took off his clothes until nothing was left, under the shocked gaze of Shen Yiyi.
He leaned over and pressed down again, followed by a series of actions that made people blush...
Shang Zhanchen was reviewing memorials in the imperial study at this time, and Eunuch An brought him a bowl of ginseng soup.
"Your Majesty, this is the ginseng soup that Concubine Lan sent. She said she was not feeling well and would not come today."
"Put it down." The emperor glanced at the ginseng soup, as if he remembered something, and looked at Shang Zhanchen jokingly.
"Why didn't the Crown Princess come?"
Judging from what happened yesterday, I guess the Crown Princess will throw a tantrum at Chen Er when she returns.
Looking at his father's gloating expression, Shang Zhanchen still looked calm.
"Yiyi should be accompanying Jiao'er and Rou'er."
Upon hearing his words, the emperor proudly put down the brush in his hand.
"Chen'er, I'm not saying anything to you, but as a crown prince, you must understand the art of balance and learn to treat everyone equally."
The emperor stroked his beard proudly. Chen'er was young, but he was far inferior to himself.
Although it is a good thing for husband and wife to have a good relationship, if you are born in an imperial family, how can you be too obsessed with emotional matters? You should treat everyone equally.
"Father, I don't think so." Shang Zhanchen also put down the brush in his hand.
"I think that a harmonious relationship between husband and wife can not only reduce some worries, but also benefit the country."
"Alas, that's not the case. Quite the contrary. If a ruler can treat everyone equally, then he can stabilize his kingdom."
The emperor shook his head in disapproval.
"Your son has read it in detail." Shang Zhanchen Yifu seemed to be listening attentively.
Seeing Chen'er so interested, the emperor also became interested.
"As a monarch, you have the responsibility to prosper the royal family. You should expand the family and not just seek harmony between husband and wife like ordinary people."
The emperor looked as if it was a matter of course. The prince was also the future monarch. It was a taboo to favor only one person. He must ensure that everyone was treated equally.
Only in this way can the royal descendants prosper, and when the royal family prospers, the country can prosper.
"Father, do you mean that the more princes there are, the more prosperous the royal family will be?"
"That's right." The emperor nodded in agreement again.
If Chen Er only favors the Crown Princess, no matter how many children she can have, the royal heir will die out, which would be dangerous.
"Erchen doesn't think so. Instead, he thinks it's a taboo to treat everyone equally."
"Nonsense." The emperor looked at Shang Zhanchen with dissatisfaction.
Chen'er was bewitched by the Crown Princess and actually said such words.
"Father, I am not talking nonsense. When I was still an infant, I was frightened by several kinds of poison.
He has suffered from poison since childhood, hovered at the gates of hell several times, and was repeatedly ambushed when he grew up.
If your father did not have other concubines, do you think I would have suffered all this?
Every time your father has an additional concubine, you are in more danger. This is something you have experienced personally.
Therefore, I do not agree with my father that it is a good thing to treat everyone equally. Instead, I think it is a disaster. This is exactly why.
I only favor Yiyi because I don’t want my son to suffer the same pain I have suffered.”
“……” The emperor choked.
He also felt guilty about this matter. It was his negligence towards Chen'er that caused him to suffer so much.
"Chen'er, it was father who neglected it back then, but as a monarch, you should expand the royal family. How can you pay too much attention to the love between your children?"
He knew that his son loved Yi Yi very much, but as a monarch, he should put the royal family and the country first and should have more offspring.
Even if what Chen'er said made sense, the throne has been stained with blood since ancient times, and anyone who sits on the throne has not experienced a life-and-death catastrophe.
Seeing that his father was still so stubborn, Shang Zhanchen sighed.
"Since Father insists on his own opinion, I will not say much. However, I cannot treat everyone equally. I just want to grow old with Yiyi.
I don't want Jiao'er to be like me, being schemed against by his brothers all day and living cautiously everywhere. I don't want Yiyi to be like the queen mother,
To endure the love of one's life being in love with another woman every day, and yet to pretend to be magnanimous, this is a matter of love, either the heart is dead, or there is no love, how can there be magnanimity. "
Shang Zhanchen's tone also became heavy. He remembered that when he was a child, he saw his mother secretly crying countless times, so he made a secret decision.
If I could ever get married, I would take good care of my wife and would never let her cry behind her back like my mother did.
"Born in an imperial family, this is inevitable." The emperor's tone also weakened.
Speaking of this, he felt guilty towards the Queen. Back then, when he was still a prince, he and the Queen had a harmonious relationship.
Since she ascended the throne, it was indeed rare to see the Queen smile happily. Even if she did, her smile was perfunctory.
But as an emperor, he has the responsibility to raise royal heirs, so how can he favor her alone?
“Since Father still thinks so, there is no need for me to say more, but I still insist on my own opinion and am too lazy to deal with those false pretenses.
I won't make Yiyi sad, and I won't put Jiao'er and Rou'er in danger."
Shang Zhanchen glanced at the bowl of ginseng soup in front of the emperor, picked up the brush again, and began to review the memorials.
Since my father is so stubborn, it is useless to say more, so there is no need to waste any more words.
“……”The emperor said nothing.
He also took a look at the ginseng soup in front of him. Although he didn't say anything, his mind was clear as a mirror.
Every concubine in the harem comes to him for a purpose. The relationship between Chen'er and Yiyi is really disappointing to him.
If there is any, it can only be with the Queen, but that was only in the past.
Since he ascended the throne, the queen has never spoken to him freely as before.
I originally wanted to persuade Chen Er, but after saying these words, my heart became heavy.
Although I didn't think that I was wrong in treating everyone equally, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart.
After reviewing the last memorial, Shang Zhanchen stood up.
"Yiyi was not feeling well yesterday. It's nothing serious, so I will leave now."
“……” The emperor frowned slightly.
Seeing that Chen'er really cared about Yiyi, he remembered the Queen's headache, hesitated for a moment, and stood up.
"Go and see the Queen."
The queen had just returned to her own palace after spending the whole morning playing with her grandchildren. She was now very tired.
Just as I was about to lie down and rest for a while, Nanny Lin came in with a happy face.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is here."
"The emperor is here?"
The emperor comes here at this time, could it be that there is something important?
He quickly tidied his clothes and walked out to meet him.
"I have met the emperor."
"The Queen has been feeling better lately." The Emperor reached out and helped the Queen up.
He looked at her with concern again.
"..." The queen looked confused.
What's wrong with the emperor today?
