Chapter 111 If you cross the border, you will be the fertilizer
Qi Yeshen was in a good mood. After handling government affairs for a day, he even greeted the emperor with a smile.
The emperor put down his brush and straightened up, moved his hands and feet a little and looked at his usually stern son.
To be honest, among these princes, Qi Yeshen is the most like him and the least like him.
His style of doing things is very similar to mine, but no one else can match him in that he doesn't recognize his relatives.
Throughout the year, I rarely see Qi Yeshen smiling.
Today the sun neither rises from the west nor sets from the east.
His eldest son smiled like a spring breeze, and even the emperor couldn't help but touch his dragon chair. Did he have any idea why he smiled so happily?
After all, there was a rumor that this kid was so crazy that everyone who saw his smile died.
On the battlefield, his smile is also called the smile of death!
"Ahem, does the emperor have anything to say when he stares at me like this?"
Qi Yechen's thin lips curled up slightly: "Father, can I take two days off?"
"Of course. Is Huanger feeling unwell or..."
Qi Yechen, known as a workaholic, never took a day off. Seeing that his face was flushed and he didn't look like he was sick, the emperor was quite curious.
"My minister made an appointment with Qing'er to enjoy the lotus flowers."
When the emperor heard that it was related to the Shen family, a smile appeared on his brows, "Your Majesty has a slight chance of winning over that girl from the Shen family."
"Ten percent." Qi Yeshen stood with his hands behind his hands and said with a contented expression, "I have never had a failure in my resume."
"That being the case, I'm relieved."
There was a hint of depth on the emperor's gentle face, his fingers touched the dragon chair, and there was a hint of light in his lowered eyes.
"Your Majesty, you should understand one thing. If the Shen family is not one of your own, sooner or later there will be only one way to go."
Qi Yeshen was not surprised at all when he saw a murderous intent on the face of this benevolent gentleman who had always treated others with kindness.
The person who can sit in this position, whether he is iron-blooded or gentle and tolerant, has some skills.
It's just that the former is intimidating, and the latter kills people without blood, which is even more terrifying.
The development of the Shen family is no longer easy to solve, but his father has been planning to climb to the throne step by step for twenty years, and he has enough patience.
At that time, there were several shrewd and capable princes who were appointed as princes before my father. Who would have thought that the ninth prince, who seemed to be independent from the world and generous, would take that position later.
Outsiders only said that he was lucky because all his brothers died before it was his turn.
I never thought that those scenes of brothers killing each other seemed to have nothing to do with him. In fact, he was instigating and participating in every scene behind the scenes.
In the end, I sat in this position and even picked myself up cleanly, which was highly praised.
Such people are often the most terrifying.
He could use twenty years to plan his way to the throne, so naturally he would be willing to spend twenty years to ensnare a Shen family member.
Above the court, he listens to the Shen family's advice everywhere, employs a large number of talents from the Shen family, and seems to trust the Shen family more than anyone else.
Only Qi Yeshen knew that this hunter had already weaved a huge net, but the Shen family's piece of fat was just too big.
Destruction is a low-level strategy. If it can be used for one's own use, then it is called a superior strategy.
Marriage is just the first step to get close to the Shen family. After marriage, the Shen family is controlled step by step, and finally the Shen family becomes the puppets and even nourishment of the royal family. This is the real purpose of the emperor.
Qi Yeshen has always known that this seemingly tolerant and good-tempered father is the truly powerful person.
Even if he seems to be very indulgent to the third prince and trusts himself, as long as he steps on his bottom line.
Even if he is his own son, he will not show mercy.
Qi Yechen's face was cold, "Father, don't worry, I know what I know."
"I always feel at ease when you do things. Since the Shen family is ready to relax and the emperor's marriage is just around the corner, that girl from the Shen family must be your crown princess. Do you have any ideas about choosing the emperor as your concubine?"
Qi Yeshen understood the emperor's thoughts. What they valued was not the person herself, but her background.
He had already thought of his words: "Back to my father, let's not mention the concubine issue for now. The Shen family has so many treasures. This daughter is probably more serious than you think. Now that my marriage to her has not been finalized, I will mention the concubine."
I'm afraid I'll lose the trust of the Shen family."
The emperor stroked the dragon's head with his fingers, the expression on his face was dark and unclear.
"What you said makes some sense. Let's not talk about the concubine for now, but..."
He slowly looked at Qi Yeshen's face, "That girl from the Shen family is a smart person. Your Majesty, please don't let her fool you."
"Father, don't worry, it's just a woman. I know what I'm doing."
"In that case, I won't say much more, but I want you to always remember one truth. The most taboo thing for a king is the love between his children."
The emperor pointed to a pot of orchid on the table and said: "Do you know why it blooms so beautifully? In addition to my careful cultivation day and night, it also needs to absorb flower fertilizer to grow gracefully."
Qi Yechen said seriously: "My son, I understand."
"In the eyes of others, women are flowers for people to enjoy and entertain. In my eyes, women are just fertilizers for raising flowers. You must learn to absorb them so that you can thrive.
There is no harm in proper pampering. If it goes beyond the limit, you will be the one who becomes the fertilizer. I don’t want you to be like the second child, trapped in love and extremely stupid!"
Qi Yechen bowed his head and said, "I will keep my father's teachings in mind."
When he raised his head again, the emperor regained his former gentleness and said, "Go, young people should have fun. Miss Shen is not in good health, so you have to take good care of her."
"My son, please retire."
Qi Yechen walked out of the hall, a thin layer of sweat forming on his back.
His father is truly a treasure trove.
Thinking about what happened to that man, Qi Yeshen suddenly felt heavy.
The two made an appointment to meet at Shiliting. Shen Qingqing rarely changed into women's clothes, and she was extremely beautiful.
She had been waiting for a while and became impatient, jumping up and down on the edge of the pavilion.
Until she saw Qi Yeshen appear, she punched Qi Yeshen's chest with her fist, "Humph, you came so late."
It was so soft that it didn't hurt at all when it hit her. Qi Yeshen took her hand and put something in her palm.
It was a beautiful and delicate white jade hairpin.
"It took some time to make this thing. You didn't like the duck feather pliers I gave you last time. I designed and polished this hairpin myself."
Shen Qingqing's eyes lit up, "You still have such a talent!"
"Like it?"
Shen Qingqing was very happy, "I like it."
Who would refuse something that comes to your door for free? Besides, this white jade is exquisite and clear, and it is a high-quality product at first glance.
Now that she has established a relationship with him, if there is no problem, he will be her future husband, and his money is her own money. Why should Shen Qingqing be polite?
"As long as you like it." Qi Yeshen rubbed her head.
"Since you have this talent, let's open a jewelry store. I will hire you as the chief jewelry designer. We will definitely make a lot of money!" This chapter has been completed!
