Chapter 154 Don’t guess the emperor’s thoughts
Fu Xiwang thought he knew the current emperor very well, but he was a little confused about the emperor's actions just now.
In fact, even if Concubine Hui had not taken the initiative to drink the contraceptive soup, the emperor would not have allowed her to have a child.
Who wants their country to have a child of foreign royal blood?
It would be fine if this child was stupid and only wanted to have fun.
If this child has great ambitions,
Who knows what the impact will be on the two countries?
Therefore, it must be nipped in the bud.
But the most important thing is that the royal bloodline is impure.
The former second prince's mother was a princess of a foreign race.
Although she was favored and the emperor loved her very much,
But they don't like their children.
I am afraid that one day their children will become powerful.
They colluded with their mother's clan and destroyed the orthodox bloodline of the Qin State.
Before his death, the old emperor repeatedly warned the present emperor,
He must ensure that his children have orthodox blood.
They must not destroy the Qin family’s kingdom.
Therefore, when she was young, she was a candidate for the imperial concubine.
One part is to stabilize the country.
Some of them are women that they like a little bit.
But which concubines can give birth to children?
Which concubines are not allowed?
Which concubines can keep their daughters?
Which concubines can leave behind sons, etc.
All of this is within the Emperor's control.
I will never change for anyone.
Even the emperor's childhood sweetheart, Concubine Mei, could not escape this fate.
Only two daughters were kept, no sons.
Because the emperor saw that Mei Fei's family,
Relying on his daughter's favor,
He is a tyrant outside and bullies the people.
Especially after Concubine Mei became pregnant, it seemed as if his daughter was going to give birth to a prince.
He even ignored the queen.
He would never allow this to happen.
Under the influence of the old emperor, the current emperor has no sincerity in love.
So, we can treat everyone equally.
However, the requirements for orthodox inheritance and bloodline are very real.
His queen was a dignified, intelligent and gentle woman chosen from his mother's clan.
His crown prince could only be the child born from the queen's belly.
The emperor is very principled towards his concubines in the harem. He can pamper you and love you.
But you and your family must not cause trouble, otherwise you will suffer the consequences.
But because Mei Fei grew up together,
The emotions are indeed deeper than others.
Be a little more tolerant of her.
So he turned a blind eye to some things.
In the harem, small fights and jealousies are all fine.
But persecuting the people outside is absolutely intolerable.
So after they were given a beating, their family became much more obedient.
And Concubine Mei never became pregnant again.
Of course, his contribution is part of this.
However, the emperor told Concubine Mei that it was because their family had done too many immoral things that affected their fortune.
Now even God is unwilling to favor her.
At first, Concubine Mei didn't believe it and thought it was an excuse made by the emperor to fool her.
But as she grew older, she never showed any signs of pregnancy.
She had no choice but to believe what the emperor said.
From then on, he ate vegetarian food, chanted Buddhist scriptures, prayed for the royal family, and no longer competed for favor in the harem.
So, what's going on with the emperor giving in now?
What about his concerns, his worries, his kingdom, his pure bloodline?
Even though I have known the emperor for such a long time, I still can't guess what he is thinking?
How could Concubine Hui be allowed to stop drinking the contraceptive soup?
Is it because he knows that he is old and in poor health?
Or is it because he now favors Concubine Li?
So, you don’t plan to go to Concubine Hui anymore in the future?
I really can’t understand it.
Judging from the emperor's intention, not only will I no longer need to drink contraceptive soup,
I also need to drink some tonic medicine that can help me get pregnant.
Therefore, he will definitely visit Concubine Hui again.
Could it be that this old emperor is drunk in love?
Think about how he spent his whole life calculating.
All women are his pawns.
He was enjoying the love of those women.
He treated them like chess pieces and arranged them at will.
But this is what both parties are willing to do.
He married them to stabilize the court and win the hearts of the people.
They married him for the prosperity of their family, for their own wealth and honor, and for the future of their children.
Both parties are beneficiaries and payers.
For a moment, it is hard to tell who is right and who is wrong?
Maybe, as long as we are not greedy,
In addition to the benefits, they also ask for other things.
It's a win-win situation for both parties.
However, Fu Xiwang is a little worried about the emperor now.
After all, these principles have not changed over the years.
He would rather believe that Concubine Hui was clever.
No one would believe that the old emperor wanted to enjoy the "love" he never had in his youth in his later years.
Because he felt that
First of all, Concubine Hui looked very similar to an old friend of theirs.
She was a girl they met in Jizhou.
After he saved the people,
The third prince was seriously injured at that time.
There is no way to move down the mountain.
So he and his guards dragged him to a small house in the forest.
At that time, I was in a hurry to save people, and I didn't even think about it.
Is there anyone living in this house?
I thought it was just a temporary house built by the mountain residents.
For use during rest periods while patrolling the mountains.
But when evening came, a beautiful girl came back,
Only then did I realize that I had offended someone’s residence.
Although I was curious about why a girl would live in the mountains,
But since I wasn't familiar with him, I didn't feel comfortable asking more questions.
In this way, the three of them spent a few days together.
They left when the third prince was able to walk.
But what he didn't expect was,
There was actually affection between them.
And it happened right under his nose!
As if he doesn't exist?
The third prince at that time wanted to take her away from here and revealed his identity.
But what he didn't expect was that
The girl was not very interested in his identity.
On the contrary, after knowing it, he decisively refused.
I told him this many years later when we were drinking together.
He was speechless at the time...
Therefore, Fu Xiwang firmly believed that the emperor still had not forgotten that girl.
Now I meet someone who looks similar and has a similar personality.
But a girl who treats him well will definitely be moved.
The two people's faces are three-quarters similar.
But the look, the way of speaking, the dignified behavior and the intelligent thoughts are very similar,
The most important point is,
They are both very self-aware.
Know what can and cannot be done.
He has a very good sense of propriety in dealing with people and doing things.
And his personality is very free and easy, and he doesn't drag his feet.
If the age difference wasn't so big,
It's not the same country.
He even suspected that Concubine Hui was the descendant of that girl.
This is certainly Concubine Hui's advantage.
But Hui Fei herself didn't know about this.
So, unconsciously,
Concubine Hui still attracted the emperor's attention deeply.
I have to say that Concubine Hui's methods are more sophisticated.
