A Timely Wife

Li Ruosong's mind is full of horse racing, he can't figure it out, and he has heard from his colleagues that some people naturally only like people of the same gender as him, but such people are only a minority after all, just like the resident, even if People of the same sex have been allowed to marry, but the number is very small. If it is not allowed to adopt fatherless and orphaned children later, the number is estimated to be even smaller.

"Ruoshan, is it because I didn't do well with your brother-in-law that you have strange thoughts about getting married?" Li Ruosong asked suddenly.

Xiong Ruoshan looked at Li Ruosong in surprise, shook his head, and said: "I have always envied the relationship between brother and brother-in-law, brother, let me tell you, in fact, compared to parents, you and brother-in-law treat me It’s more like parents. I remember it was very strange when I first came here. From grandparents to parents to the two of you, there are only husband and wife or husband and wife. When I was in Beijing, although I never came I have been outside, but I heard people around me say that there are so many ministers in the court, no family has only one wife and no concubine. Uneasy things, and even the death of the family's heirs.

But in the Li family, let alone a concubine's room, there are no maids, and the relationship between the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren is very good, and the relationship is extremely deep, as if no one can get involved in it. Help me find out about brother and husband. Before you got married, you said you were studying in the same school, but brother, you never looked down on brother-in-law. Of course, brother-in-law didn’t look down on you either. You two can’t be said to be alike Opponents, but definitely not friends.

However, the two people who looked down upon each other got married, and the relationship was still so good after the marriage. I just looked at the two of you like that. Every look in your eyes seemed to have endless affection, and every smile you looked at each other contained Full tacit understanding, I am very envious, really, maybe I have never seen it before, and I have never experienced it. Seeing you like this, I really hope that I will have such a close person who can accompany me in the future, can Walk with me hand in hand through this life.

I never thought it would be sincere, really, if possible, I also hope that I can fall in love with a woman, even if it is a pair of children, so that when I grow up, I can be like you with a lover by my side It's a pity that God never lets people go on smoothly. Maybe, I have been able to come to the Li family and all my blessings have been used up, so that I am not so smooth in many things. .

Just like the current situation, leaving Liujiagou is not my wish, but I have to leave, and it is not my wish to inherit the throne, but I can only accept it first. I have already had too much experience in many things. Unsatisfactory, I really don't want to give in on marriage matters, I can tolerate other things, but this is the only thing I can't bear.

Brother, as long as I think that the person who was by my side in the end is not Jinyan, I don’t know how to continue, and I feel that life is gloomy. I think if it is not Jinyan, then I really would rather not have anyone, Brother, let me tell you the truth, giving up the throne is a decision I made after careful consideration. I will never have any biological children in my life, so why should I occupy this position.

That day I told you that Li Ruofeng could appease the courtiers very well as the emperor's younger brother. This is one of the reasons, but not the main reason. The main reason is that I don't want to wrong the person I love most because of a throne, brother, I I have made up my mind, in a few years, when Ruofeng is a little older, I will hand over the throne to him, become a prince by myself, accompany Jinyan, and do what I want to do. After a hundred years between us, buried in the same place.

Brother, I never thought that everyone could support me, tolerate me, and forgive me, but I also don’t want to see my relatives feel sad because of my decision, brother, especially your brother-in-law’s thoughts , is really, really important to me. "

While saying these words, Xiong Ruoshan's eyes had deep prayers, but he didn't realize it, but Li Ruosong could see it from his eyes. Li Ruosong glanced at Chengdong, feeling a little emotional. At that time, he was especially able to understand Xiong Ruoshan. They really deserved to be two brothers, and they both had the same attitude towards their relationship. They judged others by themselves. If he was faced with such a situation, he would probably give up all of them.

It's just that understanding is the understanding. After all, Xiong Ruoshan's current status is different from other people. Even if he is just a prince, this kind of thing is probably difficult to be accepted by the public. Li Ruosong was silent for a while and said: "Have you ever thought about it? Even if you abdicate the throne to Ruofeng, you are an emperor after all, and you will still be the prince of Nanchu after you retire. There is no one left in the royal family. For those courtiers, this is the easiest way to be deceived by them. The position of the princess is also very attractive to them, and they will not let you go easily. I think, as long as you have a hint of intention to marry Zhou Jinyan, the result you get will definitely not be good. I got what I wanted, but I said sincerely that you might be in danger. Even your current position will require all of us to do our best to keep it. If you don’t have the ability to protect yourself, how can you keep others.

Also, it’s not that I don’t believe in Ruofeng, but that the throne has always been a place that can make people change beyond recognition. If a person sits in this position for a long time, many thoughts will undergo huge changes, no matter what it was before. What kind of relationship, until that time, no matter what kind of relationship it is, it is useless. It is not uncommon in the past dynasties to turn against each other because of the throne. How can you guarantee that at that time, Ruofeng will not have any bad thoughts towards you? , Ruoshan, sometimes, this position and identity may be the best protection for you. "

Xiong Ruoshan was a little moved. He always knew that his elder brother had a sharp mouth and a bean heart. The person who bullied him the most was Li Ruosong, but Li Ruosong was the first to rush out to protect him when something happened. I can bully and not let others bully, Xiong Ruoshan blinked hard, smiled slightly, and said: "Brother, don't worry, it is because of this that I am not worried that Ruofeng will be bad for me, Now only Ruofeng and I are the only ones with the surname Xiong in Southern Chu. Either I will be the emperor or he will be the emperor. When he becomes the emperor, I will be a prince who can’t even have his own children. No matter who says it, It may be difficult for Ruofeng to believe that I have the intention of treason, after all, even if I succeed in treason, if I have no children, who will the throne pass to in the future? I am not an old monster, I can live forever."

Li Ruosong was stunned for a moment. According to this statement, it really makes sense. If Xiong Ruoshan married Zhou Jinyan as the princess, then the bloodline of Xiong Ruoshan's family would be regarded as having no successors. Maybe it would be the other way around to adopt Xiong Ruofeng's bloodline. Only then can he keep the throne. In this way, both the throne and the throne will be inherited by his children. Thinking about it, as long as Xiong Ruofeng is not confused, he will not believe that his brother will have the intention of treason.

"Your brother-in-law often told me that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so we don't care if we can. After all, we can still dictate things when we are alive, but what if we die? Who will take care of them? Could it be for the children? You can’t make dreams come true. Think about it, I’m just pressing you to find a woman or get married and have children. When I’m alive, you don’t say a word or resist, but if one day I die, you abandon your wife and move on. Fate is not impossible, if I don't object from the beginning, it is nothing more than a little bit of external pressure, but we brothers are of the same mind, it is not easy to be persecuted by those people, if I object to the end, when the time comes, more than It will delay a woman, and even hurt several children.

Before today, I always regarded you as a child, a child who still needs our protection, but now I find that you have grown up before I knew it, and you have already thought through many things, more than I thought More, okay, I have no objection to what you have decided, but I hope you can remember that the person you spend your whole life with is not for you to hurt, but for you to protect. When you can protect him, I hope you don't expose the matter between you prematurely. If something goes wrong, it can't be solved with two words of regret. "

Li Ruosong spoke very solemnly, and Xiong Ruoshan replied equally solemnly, "Brother, brother-in-law, don't worry, I know that I am not strong enough now, and I never thought of pushing Jinyan to the front too early. I will definitely not be able to keep him, and only when I am strong enough to protect him, will I let him appear in front of people and stand by my side openly."

Hearing Xiong Ruoshan's words, Li Ruosong smiled slightly, sighed again, and said to Chengdong: "Fu Lang, I regret it a little."

Cheng Dong asked inexplicably, "What? What do you regret?"

Li Ruosong took Chengdong's right hand, sat on the bed with him, and said: "I have been busy all these years, whether it is political affairs or state affairs, but I am so busy that I forget to care about my family. Children, people who have always been children in my memory, have grown so big before I noticed, what I regret is that I should spend more time with them, Fu Lang, I just thought about it carefully , what I remember most about the appearance of the two children is how they were when they were just born. I can't remember how they grew up little by little. I am not a qualified father, and I am too disrespectful to them heart."

Chengdong didn't speak, but just patted Li Ruosong's hand with his left hand. Li Ruosong regretted it, so why not? It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in this world, and things that have been missed can only be missed. It is better to grasp the present and plan the future better than wallowing in the regret of the past.
