For the next successor, Yan Qingli did not implement the policy of raising Gu. The so-called three-year-old is considered big, seven-year-old is considered old, and twelve-year-old is determined for life.

She accepts unified education for all school-age children, and assigns homework once a week to be written and handed over to her in the yard on the same day. The repeated tests and exams are enough for her to get a general idea of ​​their abilities and ideas.

On this basis, it is not difficult to choose a suitable heir.

Because in the next few generations, Daning does not need a king who is open and expanding, but only a king who is successful, so the quality that the next prince needs to have is to recognize his own ability, accept reality, and be able to hold on to everything today. After a few generations, no one will question how women can become officials in the court, and the overdrawn family fortune from the war between Daning and Teng has basically been recovered. After that, will the descendants choose to conquer other countries or what else? Yan Qingli doesn't care about ambition.

Based on this foundation, Yan Qingli selected a princess.

The princess is the daughter of King Fu, and she looks very healthy. She can laugh at anyone she sees. The most important thing is that she has a good grasp of how to get along with others. Today's Daning court is very It is a test of Chujun's social skills, especially after Qiulanxi retreats, they will inevitably form several new parties, and there is no one who can really stand up and lead and convince everyone.

The same is true for male officials, as partisan disputes are quite fierce, and if there is no good skill to suppress all of these, it will easily lead to chaos.

Unlike Yan Qingli, who doesn't like oil and salt, the prince's daughter showed obvious interest in men of the same age when she first fell in love, so for those who wanted to take a shortcut, the prince's daughter was obviously more popular than Yan Qingli.

After all, there are some things that may surprise people and talk about them in a year or two, but after five or ten years, no one will try to trick people. If Yan Qingli changes his mind that day, maybe the world's literati will still He couldn't help criticizing her, but those extinguished thoughts were rekindled after the Empress Dowager appeared.

So the prince has always been surrounded by good men, but unexpectedly, the candidate that the prince finally mentioned to Qiu Lanxi was a bastard.

It's not that there's anything wrong with the concubine. With the importance of the crown prince, everyone who appears around the princess has naturally been investigated. Among the men, the other party is not outstanding, and the only skin worthy of praise is not without it. accessible.

Qiulanxi and the others don't care about Fengjun's status. They have already made a decision. If the person who is married by the prince in the future wants to enter the court as an official, he will only be given a noble position that does not affect the overall situation, unless the other party can prove that The role of oneself in a certain position cannot be replaced.

This can't completely avoid nepotism, but at least it won't make everyone want to rely on connections to get ahead, and even for Qiu Lanxi, it's not easy to get promoted every time, because she needs undisputed, and Yan Qing On the contrary, Li's relationship in the court was an obstacle that prevented her from going further.

"You love him very much?"

Qiu Lanxi flipped through the information submitted by comfort, and then roughly figured out the character of the other party.

The princess thought for a while, and then said: "I do like him more, but I can't talk about love, but I don't need to rely on marriage to increase my strength."

Therefore, in the eyes of the crown prince, there is nothing wrong with the other party marrying to be the righteous monarch.

Qiu Lanxi said: "Have you ever thought that the most attractive thing about him to you is your imagination."

The queen was taken aback.

In fact, from Qiu Lanxi's point of view, the opponent's tricks are not very clever. How can it be said that practical learning is still unknown and only has a "good name"?

Most of the aristocratic children who are famous nowadays are famous for their talents and learning. Qiu Lanxi, Yan Qingli and the female officials in the court have reversed some of the current trends. ability.

But also because of this trend, some bold women dare to discuss their looks in private like men, which is the so-called 'good name'.

In the eyes of some women who want to open a female household, it is okay to marry a man with a good reputation and go home with a piano and a harmony.

But both men and women obviously want to be famous for their ability, especially for men in this era, if they had a choice, how would they choose to be famous for their beauty?

The princess is a very good-tempered person, she really thought about it before she said: "Maybe what you said is reasonable," she continued, "But the reason why two people are attracted at first is not because they saw each other at first sight. When did you imagine?"

"But people's imagination is different from reality," Qiu Lanxi said. "You don't understand it deeply enough. If one day, he doesn't match your imagination, what should you do?"

The prince replied calmly: "I am the prince."

Because she is a princess, most people will choose to cater to her preferences, why should she think about what to do in that situation?That is something the other party should consider.

Qiu Lanxi blinked her eyes, she was quite satisfied with her answer, she actually didn't care whether the princess wanted a couple for a lifetime or three thousand in the harem, as long as she didn't fall in love.

"But you're right, my son will think about this matter carefully." The princess added with a smile, and she asked curiously, "Did mother and empress ever argue about marriage?"

After the princess was confirmed, she was adopted to Yan Qingli, so she could also call Qiu Lanxi a mother.

Qiu Lanxi heard the words and guessed that the empress dowager and that person probably had a dispute about married life, she asked: "What is the dispute?"

"It's just..." The princess bit her pen and thought for a while before saying, "I want you to give up your rights and go home to teach your wife and children."

Many female officials will gradually face this dilemma after they enter the court and become officials. Not all of them are infertile. Therefore, the choice of marriage and love is particularly important. After all, in this era, the succession of the family is the top priority.

"Everyone has something they are not willing to give up," Qiu Lanxi said, "For me, my career is more important."

"But if what you don't want to give up is easy for another person, what's the point?" The princess subconsciously said, "I am the future emperor of Daning, what he wants, one more and one less. What's the difference?"

The princess seemed confused: "Not everyone is like you, mother. The loss is Daning's loss."

"It is already a rare thing for a person to have the persistence that he is not willing to give up." Yan Qingli walked in from nowhere. "The concept is different, so there is no need to force it, as long as you can bear the corresponding responsibility for it."

"Emperor Mother." The princess bowed to her before sitting down again, "Kerchen has the ability to force fusion."

"Then you can go." Yan Qingli did not insist that the prince must have the same concept as himself, "but I hope you will not take the other party's sacrifice for granted."

"Huh?" The princess couldn't understand it. The powerful and powerful had everything as a matter of course. She was smart enough, but she was already used to enjoying other people's sacrifices.

She thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said: "It should be so, if you don't show compassion, you will be easily separated."

She was born into the officialdom from Yan Qingli's words, thinking that Yan Qingli was teaching her how to be a king, and Yan Qingli didn't care how she understood it, so she walked over to hold Qiu Lanxi's waist: "Are you tired?"

Qiu Lanxi moved her hand up: "It's sour here."

Yan Qingli pressed and rubbed according to her words.

The princess glanced at the other party who was thrown to her by Qiu Lanxi for most of her official duties and leisurely reading the script, and interrupted them mercilessly: "Did mother sacrifice herself because of the empress?"

In Daning, their story can be regarded as a love myth, and the empress dowager has never seen a couple who get along like them.

"No," Qiu Lanxi said, "Every decision I make is based on various considerations, and there is no such thing as sacrifice or sacrifice."

Yan Qingli said, "She sacrificed a lot."

The princess looked around, not knowing who to trust.

Yan Qingli held Qiu Lanxi's hand: "I don't pay attention to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. It's up to you who you want to find. You just need to tell me the result. You don't need to think about whether you want to imitate me or not." , I am different from you."

She said frankly: "It's not that Qingqing needs me, it's that I can't live without her. I would rather run to her than she to me. Can you do that?"

Yan Qingli knew that because of her, many people in Beijing suddenly became single-minded infatuated species one by one, but objectively speaking, this is very difficult to do, everyone is an independent individual, instead of going It is better to respect your own preferences than to imitate others.

After all, if one day you can't help but slap yourself in the face, it's better to be frank from the beginning.

And the princess is obviously not the same as her father, she is definitely not an infatuated kind. At the beginning, King Fu wanted to live and die for the master of Danxiang County, but within a year, he wanted to die and live for another person. Maintain it for two or three years.

After all, the princess is not her own, so even if she is confident to the outside world, in fact, she will still consider Yan Qingli's thoughts every step of the way. It is not uncommon in history that she was abolished because of 'this son is not pretty' Crown Prince.

The princess doesn't know if she can do this, but she knows that she definitely doesn't want to. The son of the Shangshu family has handsome features, the eldest son of the general's family looks like a good girl, and even the concubine she prefers now is also hard to let go of. , but Yan Qingli never had outsiders around, and it was hard for the princess not to care about the other party's views on this.

"My son understands, thank you for teaching me." The princess respectfully knelt down and kowtowed, maybe she shouldn't be so cautious, it should be difficult to find a second prince who was selected from dozens of royal relatives.

The sun was shining outside the house. The princess paused and looked back into the palace. True love in this world is hard to find. She had longed for and envied it, but after all, she had too much, and there were too many temptations in the world. Only one of them is left until she gives up, so she is destined not to become a person like the empress

But if this kind of thing is not hard to find in the world, it is not worthy of praise.

She is the noble crown prince of Daning, and the queen mother's valued daughter, so why should she expect everything to be perfect?

Even the moon waxes and wanes.

In the house, Qiu Lanxi was a little dizzy: "Can't leave me?"

Yan Qingli was a little embarrassed.

Qiu Lanxi asked the bottom line: "How inseparable?"

She even confides her heart in the name of teaching the princess, Qiu Lanxi thought she would never say it again, but she heard her softly say: "Better than yesterday, slightly worse than the Ming Dynasty."

She couldn't help squinting and smiling: "Your Highness's love words are still so beautiful."

Yan Qingli just smiled.

She gently corrected it in her heart, it was not a love story, but a fact.
