Chapter 203 Promise
"I can't say I like it much, but I definitely don't hate it." Seeing Yan Chujing froze in place, not moving the barbecue on the plate for a long time, Chi Xinian simply took the initiative to pick up a skewer and brought it to his mouth, "I have talked with Your Majesty before.
Having said that, everyone is an independent individual and has his own thinking.
“I have my own thoughts whether I like it or not, not what most people think I think.
"Anyway, I have no complaints in my heart about being a queen.
"As for the military power you are thinking about...the Chi family has been loyal for generations. I grew up listening to the stories of my ancestors who devoted themselves to their duties for generations. I was taught that I must serve the country when I grow up.
"Your Majesty is an outstanding king and has governed this country very well. If I want to do something for the country, there is no problem at all through you.
"So, if you want military power, what objection would I have?"
Chi Xinian said, and then passed the meat skewer in his hand forward, indicating to Yan Chujing to eat it: "Your Majesty, it is true that not everyone is greedy for power, and only has small calculations in his heart for his own interests.
"The Chi family has never taken credit for themselves, and has never thought of firmly holding military power in their own hands.
"You don't have to treat us as imaginary enemies. If you are really capable, why not think more about your real opponents. Think about those people who really want to take advantage of you."
"You..." Yan Chujing opened his mouth, as if he had something to say.
But when my mouth was full of words, I couldn't spit out a word.
Regarding the loyalty of the Chi family, Chi Xinian had hinted to him several times before. But at that time, the layer of window paper they had before was not pierced, so he only heard those obscure expressions vaguely.
Now, he pointed out the suspicion in his heart very bluntly, and told him clearly that the Chi family did not want military power, and that thing was his...
Seeing that he was speechless, Chi Xinian simply put the meat skewers in his mouth and blocked his mouth: "As for what I just said, your Majesty can think about it slowly. Now, I want to ask your Majesty one thing.
, I hope you can treat the Chi family well and let the Chi family live peacefully."
"Um...ok." Yan Chujing was forced to bite off the meat on the skewers and swallow it, and then nodded in response to Chi Xinian's words.
His answer seemed casual, as if he just agreed casually while eating meat.
But he knew in his heart that this was a promise he made to Chi Xinian.
In the past, as an emperor who was well versed in checks and balances, he had never regarded any of his ministers as one of his own. He knew clearly that only when these people fought with each other and weakened each other could he firmly hold the greatest power.
In your own hands.
Therefore, he had no intention of making the Chi family become more glorious after giving birth to a queen.
He only plans to give the position of queen to Chi Xinian temporarily. Once she and the Chi family behind her help him defeat the Xue family, Lin family and other aristocratic families, he will take back the position of queen.
It is impossible for him to personally cultivate the next brilliant family that can compete with the royal family.
Of course, in view of the Chi family's past achievements, he would not embarrass them too much. At most, he would just take advantage of the fact that there were no adult males in the family to slightly suppress their status and keep them away from the center of power.
But today, after Chi Xinian revealed everything, he also changed his thoughts.
If the Chi family is really as loyal as she said, it wouldn't be impossible to be more glorious.
