Murong Yi took Murong Yu back to the East Palace. In the Cheng'en Palace, Murong Yi ordered someone to boil ginger soup, served it to Murong Yu, and said in a commanding tone: "Drink it quickly."

Murong Yu took it obediently and wanted to drink it all in one gulp, but the ginger soup was too hot and he could only drink it in sips.

"I really don't know how you took care of yourself during those years in the northwest?" Murong Yi sat down and rambled.

Murong Yu remained silent and felt very depressed. Seeing that he was depressed and unhappy, Murong Yi asked, "What's going on? Are you still angry with your father?"

"I'm not that narrow-minded? There's no point in getting angry with him."

"What's going on? Talk to the emperor."

Murong Yu never thought of hiding it from him, and Murong Yi had long known about his love for Lu Yanhua. "I just met Miss Lu Er and I told her that I wanted to marry her, but she didn't want to."

What else did Murong Yi think was going on? He smiled and said, "It's just a matter of asking Father to grant me a marriage. How dare she resist the decree and not marry?"

What Murong Yu wanted was not that she had no choice but to marry him because of his power. What he wanted was that she really liked him and would marry him willingly.

"What's the difference between this and you and my father? A piece of paper granting marriage does not have our two names written on it. What is the purpose of a changed marriage certificate?"

Murong Yi knew that he had stayed in the northwest for several years. The people there were simple and honest, and the marriage between men and women was different from that in Yujing.

"You've been to the Northwest for a few years, why have your ideas changed?"

"I don't want to be like my father and brother in the future, marrying a house full of women but not really liking the one. If you really love someone, why would you marry someone else? This is a blasphemy against love, and it will also let down many women."

Murong Yi had no choice. As a prince, after he ascended the throne, there would inevitably be new people in the harem. The harem of the previous dynasty was already involved, and marrying them was also to better consolidate the situation of the dynasty.

"Marrying someone for the rest of your life and growing old together is naturally a great thing." Murong Yi said.

Murong Yu looked at him. He was going to take the road of emperor. This road was destined to be lonely. Once he set foot on this road, there was no room to look back.

"Brother, don't you want to fight for it?"

Murong Yi never thought about it because he was too aware of the stakes involved. The daughter of a minister of the court and a wealthy family is destined to enter the harem. The world is governed by both monarch and ministers. If he wants ministers and aristocratic families to remain loyal to him, it is inevitable to include their daughters in the harem.

"The world of Da Qi seems to be stable and peaceful, but there are many undercurrents surging in it. Even my father may not be able to see through it, let alone me. To govern the government and the world, we need the help of courtiers and aristocratic families. Marriage Only by reaching a relationship of interest and weighing the forces of all parties can their daughters be truly used by me. Otherwise, just relying on their words of loyalty and the emperor's importance, one day this balance will be broken."

"Everyone comes to express their loyalty to the emperor, but how to show loyalty? Do you have to dig out your heart to prove your loyalty to the emperor? The emperor is suspicious by nature and is wary of everyone. This is natural and inevitable."

Murong Yu never worried that the emperor's brother would be suspicious of him, but the road that the emperor's brother was going to take was really hard and tiring.

"Brother Emperor, do you really want to be emperor?"

When Murong Yi was five years old, he was established as a prince. Over the years, he had been diligent and diligent in learning to be a qualified prince. Facts have proved that he, the prince, has done an excellent job and has been recognized by both the government and the public.

But sometimes I feel tired and powerless. I want to be lazy but I am always being watched and cannot make any mistakes. He must ensure that he is perfect every moment and cannot be singled out for any flaws.

"Why don't you want to? Murong Ye and the others have been coveting the throne for a long time."

"For the sake of my mother, me and Anle?"

Murong Yi smiled and said: "Not entirely. Only by sitting in that seat can I better protect you. But I also want to be a good emperor, an emperor who is diligent and loves the people."

"Brother, as long as I am here, no one can shake your position as the crown prince. I insisted on going to the northwest just to come back to help you and assist you in successfully ascending the throne."

Murong Yi looked pleased, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "As long as we brothers work together, no difficulty can defeat us."

"What the emperor said is true."

"If you want to marry Yan Hua, there is no need to worry about it. There is a little girl on your side. Your Highness, Your Majesty, can't you win the heart of a little girl?"

Murong Yu had confidence in himself, but this Lu Yanhua was no ordinary woman.

"Brother Imperial, what are your feelings for the eldest girl of the Lu family?"

Murong Yi couldn't tell what his feelings were. She was the princess chosen by his father, the queen, and his mother. He didn't hate her, but if he said he liked her, it wouldn't be enough.

"No matter what feelings I have for her, she will be my future crown princess. I will join hands with her to reach the highest position and grow old with her hand in hand."

Murong Yu knew very well that his brother had been unable to control himself over the years, and he couldn't choose many things. Even the wife who wanted to stay with him for the rest of his life couldn't be chosen by him.

Choosing a wife for him means choosing a future queen, a queen whose mother will honor the world, and whether he likes her or not is not up to her.

"Brother! If I marry Yan Hua, Fan Yanglu can only serve you, and it will be good for you and me."

"Second brother and the others are all eyeing the Fan Yang Lu family, so we should start early!"

"Who do they think they are? Even if the father looks at them differently, so what? Standing behind the imperial brother are the civil and military officials of the dynasty, the clan and even the people of the world. The imperial brother is the eldest son, the eldest son, the eldest son, and the position of the prince It’s not even their turn.”

It has always been a rule that the direct descendants are superior to the inferior. Da Qi has always followed the eldest son inheritance system, attaching great importance to the establishment of direct descendants, and the virtuous are ranked last.

"You and I are the direct descendants, so naturally we won't understand their feelings as the concubine. The origin is not something we can decide, nor can they decide. If you can choose, who wouldn't want to be the direct descendants?"

At this point, Murong Yu was angry and annoyed, "This has nothing to do with us. If we want to blame him, we can only blame our father. Who allowed him to marry so many women and have children with them? We are the children of our mother. Naturally, they are legitimate children, so they can only be concubines."

"I just want to marry a princess in the future, and I will never have any children with her for the rest of my life."

Murong Yu can do it, but Murong Yi absolutely cannot do it. It is also his responsibility to spread the branches and leaves of the royal family and give birth to outstanding heirs.

"Do what you want to do, and your royal brother will support you in everything?"

"Brother, you don't have to worry about anything. I will always assist you until the day you rule the world."

"it is good!"

"It's late, let's sleep here!" Murong Yi got up and went to the study again.

Murong Yu saw this and said, "Today is New Year's Eve, can't we take a day off?"
