Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

However, her tone was obviously relaxed too early.

Then Xu Huaiyi said in a sarcastic tone, "I originally thought that the King of Qi was an honest man, but who knew that I was wrong. Ha, guess what he was trying to test me for?

He actually wanted Mr. Jiang to be Xiaoyu's teacher. Listen, is this human language?

This appetite is too big, he is never satisfied with taking advantage.

He wants to fake his death to get away and completely sever ties with us, but he is reluctant to give up Mr. Jiang's connections and resources, and wants to continue to tie him up and use him for the Qi Palace. Bah, how can there be so many good things in the world?

As expected, royal family members are royal family members. No matter how honest and gentle they look, they are selfish and shameless at heart.

I really regret it now. I shouldn't have dragged Mr. Jiang into this.

Alas, this favor is too great."

Gu Huanxi felt a little upset when she heard this, and frowned and asked, "You refused, right?"

Xu Huaiyi immediately patted his chest and said, "I definitely can't agree to that. I'm not that bold to catch someone and try to take advantage of him. I made a few innuendos and pressured him. He should have given up the idea."

"That's good..." I was originally struggling over whether or not to tell Mr. Jiang that Xiaoyu was still alive, but now I don't have to struggle anymore.

"By the way, he also tried to test my attitude towards Xiaoyu as the Crown Prince..." Xu Huaiyi sneered, "He really didn't hide his little thoughts."

Gu Huanxi's heart sank, "Then what do you say?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "I am just pretending to be stupid. The entire Dayong is practicing the system of primogeniture. He wants to make an exception? Even if I don't interfere, Han Jun won't let him off. He suffered so much for Xiaoyu. What did he want? Isn't it just for the family business and position?

If the King of Qi dares to have other thoughts, he will definitely turn against him.

However, in the eyes of King Qi, Han Jun is only half a gangster and has no foundation in the court. Even if he disagrees, it will not affect the overall situation. What he is afraid of is my attitude.

If I don't care, he can do what he wants. If I clearly support Xiaoyu, he will have to consider my feelings. "

Hearing this, Gu Huanxi asked speechlessly, "Does he really have second thoughts? Xiaoyu is both the eldest and the legitimate son, who else can he choose? Didn't they say that the one born to the Meng family girl died on the night of the palace coup? It can't be the son born to Li Wanyu, right?"

Xu Huaiyi shook his head, "No, have you forgotten the daughter of the Xiao family?"

"The princess who was newly married last year?" Gu Huanxi had really forgotten about her. The Princess of Qi was too low-key. She had little presence in the capital, whether before or after marriage. The only highlight was when she was kidnapped and sold. "Yes, she also gave birth to a son."

Xu Huaiyi said meaningfully, "She can continue to give birth in the future. After the King of Qi ascends the throne, he will definitely enrich the harem and he will have more sons. Xiaoyu is the eldest son, but he is not his only son.

For a father, he may value his eldest son the most, but his other sons are also his own flesh and blood, and he cannot help but love them.

If those sons were also very outstanding, do you think he would be so cruel as not to give them any chances?

Besides, even if he remained unmoved, there was still pillow talk and the influence of the princes' respective families. The King of Qi could not ignore all of it.

As an emperor, one has to balance the political situation and sometimes follow the general trend.

He has a soft personality and can be easily coerced into becoming the crown prince.

Another very important point is that he himself was not a legitimate son. He came to power as a concubine's son, so he naturally had a subtle pity for concubine's sons.

Therefore, Xiaoyu's identity as the eldest son is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

Alas, there will be something to fight for in the future!"

After hearing this, Gu Huanxi pressed his temples with a headache and said irritably, "Hasn't it already started now? They're already testing the waters, and he hasn't even become the emperor yet..."

Once he becomes emperor, who knows what kind of chaos he will cause!

At the moment, Xu Huaiyi was not too worried, and said carelessly, "In the previous life, it should have been Xiaoyu who got the throne, otherwise how could Meng Yao mobilize so many people to find him? Didn't he just want to place a bet in advance, but we got in the way. In this life, it will definitely not change. If a mediocre person like the King of Qi can get a chance to become an emperor, what's wrong with our Xiaoyu?

Don't worry, Xiaoyu will definitely be the final winner. He may even create a prosperous era and become a wise ruler. We can also be recorded in history and be remembered forever."

Gu Huanxi, "..."

Two days later, Xu Huaiyi met Gu Xiaoyu in a secret manor.

According to his pace, he didn't plan to go so fast, but unexpectedly, Han Jun took the initiative to bring him here.

Along the way, both of them were silent.

Once some things are revealed, it will be awkward for both parties if they are forced to be put together again.

Xu Huaiyi was not embarrassed. He was just a little angry with Han Jun and didn't want to pay attention to him.

Han Jun felt guilty and uneasy, and unconsciously felt shorter than Xu Huaiyi. He didn't know what to say, and nothing he said was right.

It was not until he entered the manor that he said self-deprecatingly, "Jin'er insisted on meeting you before she was willing to return to Prince Qi's mansion as Yuan Jin."

Xu Huaiyi's eyes flickered but he didn't respond.

Han Jun said in a complicated tone, "He was betting his own future, betting that I would compromise, and betting that the King of Qi would give in, and he did win the bet, but..."

He paused and reminded in a low voice, "He is still a child after all. He doesn't know the pros and cons of this kind of manipulation. You should understand that for his own good, you should still persuade him later. Don't use it again in the future."

Xu Huaiyi turned his head and glanced at him calmly, "Why? This trick won't work on you anymore?"

As long as you care, this trick will work every time.

This is also the reason why all parents who love their children are always the losers, because they cannot prevail against their children.

Han Jun's face changed and he blurted out, "I can always love him and indulge him, because I only have one biological sister and one biological nephew, but can the King of Qi do that?

He will have countless sons in the future, and Jin'er is not the only one, so he has no bargaining chip to threaten her. If she is willful occasionally, the King of Qi will not take it to heart. But if he regards this as a means to achieve his goal, the King of Qi will dislike her sooner or later.

Even more, it will affect you. No father wants to see his own son getting closer to another man."

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi snorted without comment, "Xiaoyu is a smart child. He doesn't need anyone to teach him these principles. You are just worrying about nothing."

"Then why does he still do this?"

"Huh, what do you think?"

Facing Xu Huaiyi's mocking and disdainful question, Han Jun turned away in embarrassment and said dejectedly, "I don't know. Sometimes, I can't guess what he is thinking..."

Xu Huaiyi flexed his wrist, resisted the urge to hit someone, and sneered, "Because you didn't give him a chance to choose, and arranged everything for him under the banner of doing good for him, forcing him to move forward according to the path you planned.

But he is a human being, and as long as he is a human being, he will have his own ideas.

Is it wrong that he doesn't want to listen to you in everything?

He is not your prisoner, so isn't it right for him to resist?

It's a pity that he is now outnumbered and naturally no match for you, so he can only use this most despicable strategy to achieve his goal.

Not only do you not feel ashamed, but you are also wary of his resistance and ask me to help suppress it. Haha, you are such a good uncle!

You are really capable of forcing the child to this point. I am now trying to judge you with my own mean mind. Are you going to treat Xiaoyu as a puppet?"

Han Jun listened to his accusations, which were more and more heartbreaking. His head was like thunder, buzzing. He shook his head in disbelief, "How could I have such a vicious mind? You know it best. For Jin'er, I can even give up my life. How could I force him, harm him, or coerce him?"

Xu Huaiyi mocked, "But that's what you did. No matter if it was intentional or unintentional, you didn't respect Xiaoyu's ideas."

"I'm doing this for his own good..."

"The saddest thing is that you said you were doing this for his own good. You said you were doing this for his own good, but you actually did things that were harmful. Do you think Xiaoyu should be grateful to you or resentful?"

Han Jun was no longer ashamed to face him.

Xu Huaiyi ignored him and went straight to see Xiaoyu.

Gu Xiaoyu had been waiting in the room for a long time, circling around non-stop. If it wasn't inappropriate to show up too much now, he would have been unable to hold back and went to the door to greet him.

When Xu Huaiyi pushed the door open, he was stunned for a moment, staring blankly, as if in a dream.

Not only him, but Xu Huaiyi also felt as if he was in another world at this moment. After sighing and lamenting, the feeling in his heart was indescribable.

Neither of them spoke for a moment.

The atmosphere in the room was so quiet that it was a little stagnant.

Xu Huaiyi was struggling with the question of whether or not to greet the guest. It was really difficult for him to bend down at this moment. It was not a question of whether he could do it without losing face, but he could not accept it emotionally.

After all, now, in his heart, Gu Xiaoyu in front of him is still his son.

Is there any father in this world who would bow to his son?

However, if Gu Xiaoyu acts like the emperor's grandson, then it won't matter whether he is willing or not.

Fortunately, Gu Xiaoyu did not challenge his endurance. After coming back to his senses, he bowed to him naturally and excitedly, "Dad, you are here?"

Xu Huaiyi instantly felt relieved. He smiled and said "hmm", then waved at him. When he came closer, he put his hands around his waist and held him up to weigh him. "You've lost weight, at least five pounds. Have you not eaten well?"

For some reason, hearing this ordinary sentence made Gu Xiaoyu's nose suddenly feel sore, heat rushed to his eyes, and he almost cried. He felt an intractable grievance in his heart.

But he didn't know how to say it, so he could only purse his lips stubbornly, like an abandoned little animal.

Xu Huaiyi sighed in his heart, his eyes softened unconsciously, and he pulled him to the table and sat down, then opened the box he brought and placed the contents on the table one by one.

“Most of the things you used before have your mark on them, so it’s hard to send them to you. If someone finds out, I won’t be able to explain it.

But don't worry, they are all kept well for you, and the yard is also reserved for you. There is nothing we can do about it now, but in the future, when you can control your own life, you can take those old things away at any time.

However, your mother made you two new sets of clothes, which Yongyan and Changzhi have never seen before. You can wear whatever you want. There are also shoes, so you can be happy about it. I haven't even worn the shoes made by your mother.

You can keep these books without marking them.

By the way, there are these toys. They are not too rare in Beijing. Don’t be afraid if someone sees them. Just play with them when you are bored. Don’t just study hard. It’s easy to become stupid.

People must learn to entertain themselves, otherwise life would be so boring.

You have to learn to find candy for yourself, otherwise life will be too hard."

Gu Xiaoyu was fumbling with the newly made clothes and was crying uncontrollably.

Xu Huaiyi took out a cotton handkerchief and roughly rubbed his face, saying with disdain, "A man should shed blood but not tears, why are you crying? Do you think you are Ah Li, who can cry like a pear blossom in the rain and make people feel sorry for you? If a silly boy cries, people will just want to beat you up, don't you understand?"

Gu Xiaoyu took the handkerchief and pressed it hard against his eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are mother and A Li okay?"

Xu Huaiyi said casually, "They are all fine. The mother and daughter act during the day and eat and drink a lot at night. They are all fat, unlike you. Shouldn't boys be more open-minded and cheerful? No matter how big the matter is, you should eat when you should eat, drink when you should drink, and sleep when you should sleep. The body is the capital for resistance, and the last thing you should torment is yourself, understand?

You have to bear it first before you can talk about the future!"

Gu Xiaoyu nodded, looking at him with moist eyes, "I just can't bear to..."

Xu Huaiyi tapped him on the forehead in annoyance, "Are you stupid? It's not like we're separated by Yin and Yang and will never see each other again, so what's there to be reluctant about?

It's just that it's not as frequent as before.

This is as I should. Even if you still live in the Jingning Marquis' Mansion, I won't let you run to the backyard.

How old are you? Don’t you have any idea?

Boys have to move to the front yard at the age of seven and keep their distance from the female family members. What about you?

Humph, while I'm not at home, you stay at your mother's place all day and flirt with Ah Li, do you think I'm blind?"

Gu Xiaoyu's face flushed with guilt when he heard this, "I, I..."

Xu Huaiyi sneered, "Stop having these evil ideas! I'm not dead yet. You should be your prince in the Prince of Qi's mansion and work hard to become a crown prince. If you dare to cry like a little girl and feel sad about the passing of time, I will beat you up!"

Gu Xiaoyu, "..."

His father really dares to say anything!

Meeting his indescribable gaze, Xu Huaiyi raised his eyebrows, "Why? You don't want to be the crown prince?"

Gu Xiaoyu was silent for a moment, then nodded honestly, "I thought about it."

Xu Huaiyi spread his hands, "Then it's over, isn't it? From now on, work hard for this small goal, and don't bother with other things. For a man, power and status are better than any other temptation in the world. When you have them, you will be happy beyond your imagination."

Gu Xiaoyu asked, "What if I don't want to?"

Xu Huaiyi said indifferently, "Then don't fight. It's your life, and you are the master of it. Just don't regret your choice in the future."

"As long as you don't regret it, is that okay?"

"You can't be so absolute. For most things, as long as you don't regret it, it's fine. But for some things, you also need to consider the right and wrong.

After all, if you are too selfish and willful, you may live a happy life, but what about others?

Especially your relatives and friends around you, you can't just ignore their lives, right?

Therefore, there is no absolute freedom for human beings living in this world, not even emperors.

Unless you are ruthless and unrighteous, and become a tyrant. "
