The time goes back twenty days to the Liu family’s study room in Beijing.
"Chengzhi, your mother is the wife of the Liu family who is married to her father, Ming Matchmaker, and she is the princess. According to the rules, you should be the legitimate son of our family.
In other words, he will be the crown prince and will legitimately inherit his father's throne in the future.
However, you are all your father's children, and your father has been hesitant on this matter.
Now I want to ask you what you mean, do you want to be a direct descendant of our lineage?
You don’t need to have any psychological pressure, this is what you deserve and what you always have to face.”
There was a brief silence, and Liu Chengzhi looked at his father slightly at a loss.
"Dad, will your legitimate son inherit our family's inheritance in the future?"
"Yes, if I make you my legitimate son, you will be the future head of our family. In the future, you will be the king of the twenty-seven prefectures in northern Xinjiang and the one hundred and fifty-two states!"
"Isn't it very majestic and powerful?"
"Of course, one person is inferior to ten thousand people. So what do you mean?"
"If dad says that, I really want to be the legitimate son, but will the eldest brother, third brother, and younger brother Zhenghao be unhappy?
We grew up wearing pants, and I didn't want them to be unhappy.
Aunt Qinglian and Aunt Yan'er treat me no differently than my mother, do they think you are partial to children?"
"If you can think this way, it means you have grown up. But you don't have to worry about these things. It is up to you as a father to deal with it. Just tell me whether you want to inherit your father's position in the future!"
"I........."
There was a long silence, and Liu Chengzhi looked at his father's simple and profound eyes with some fear.
"Dad, can I compete fairly with my eldest brother and my third brother? In the past, when we went to a brothel and met a girl we liked together, we would all decide... um... I made a mistake. Let's go together.
Read books and see books that interest you..."
"Okay, stop making fun of me here. Have you thought clearly? Do you want to compete fairly with your eldest brother and third brother?
Once this decision is made, there will be no chance to regret it. My father will give you another chance to consider it."
"Well - the kid has decided, fair competition, let's guess the winner or loser."
"Nonsense, it's a guessing game. Why don't you pee farther than anyone else?"
"It's also okay!"
"Go away. As a father, think about this matter carefully. Remember, you are not allowed to tell anyone what you said today."
"Yes, I know, I'm going to leave."
"etc!"
"Dad? What's wrong?"
"Bring me a message to your eldest brother and third brother? If you don't want me to burn paper at your graves in the future, it's best to go to the brothel less often? Of course, you can also say this to yourself."
"Gudu...baby...baby, please leave!"
"Sister Ya? Do you think this is a child's mischief? How should I explain to Yun'er as a husband?"
"Husband, actually this might not be a good idea? It's okay for Chengfeng, but it will be difficult for Chengzhi to do it with Cheng. Will Yun'er's concubine enlighten her in the future? Isn't she a jealous woman? I can naturally understand your difficulties.
You have always treated these children equally, and it is really difficult for them."
"Think about it for your husband. Don't tell anyone about this yet."
"Don't worry, husband, I will definitely take these words to heart. But you have always been able to avoid the issue of the distinction between concubines and concubines? Why do you want to raise this matter so suddenly?"
"Nip it in the bud, right? Things are developing step by step in the direction that my husband expected. Now there is nothing I can do to stop it. I can only wait and see what happens and let nature take its course."
"Fortunately, I gave birth to a daughter, so you don't have to worry about this matter."
"Isn't that okay? As a husband, I have to let you, a considerate little elf, worry and worry. I must let you have a son."
"Hey... Stop it! It's broad daylight and I'm not afraid that the maid will see you."
"The joy of mountains and rivers is human nature, come on!"
——
"Get started? It's so embarrassing!"
"The fun part is, the dragon crossing the mountains naturally has the beauty of crossing the mountains? It's not time to play in the water yet."
"A little loach? A dragon? Shameless."
"Who are you looking down on? This is at least an eel, okay?"
Liu Mingzhi came back to his senses and looked at his three older sons again: "Who comes first?"
The three brothers subconsciously looked at their mothers, Qi Yun, the third princess, and the three girls Qinglian, who looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to do.
Qinglian bit her red lips lightly and looked at Young Master Liu weakly: "Husband, I am a concubine. Let's forget about Chengfeng's identity as a legitimate son."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Qinglian solemnly and shook his head slightly: "No, he is also the son of his husband, so he is naturally qualified to inherit."
"But I am..."
"Lian'er, you don't have to say anything. My husband has the final say on this matter."
"Yes, I understand!"
"If you don't come first, you can decide who will be chosen first."
"ah?"
"Um?"
"Yes, yes, let's row!"
The three brothers didn't dare to refute what their father meant, so they got together and started gesticulating.
"rock-paper-scissors."
Liu Chengfeng looked at Young Master Liu weakly: "Dad, I am cloth, second brother, third brother is stone, I win."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Chengfeng with a faint smile: "Then you choose first."
"Yes, my child knows."
Liu Chengfeng scratched the back of his head and looked at the three boxes in front of him. He had not yet realized what it would mean if he picked his father's royal seal.
The reason why I feel nervous is that my father's demeanor is too serious today.
Liu Chengfeng muttered for a while and reached out to the box in the center. Qinglian coughed hurriedly when she saw her son's actions.
After all, in the ancient people's view, the center was the place of honor, so she subconsciously thought that her husband placed the royal seal in the center.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the eldest son who paused because of Qinglian's cough, and gave Qinglian a helpless look.
"Lian'er, don't break the rules of being a husband."
Qinglian's pretty face turned pale and she lowered her head helplessly.
"Take it. If you pick the middle one, take the middle one."
"yes!"
Liu Chengfeng picked up the box and obediently stepped aside. Seeing this, Qinglian bit her red lips and left a row of teeth marks, with a look of anxiety on her face.
"You two keep punching."
"I know dad!"
"rock-paper-scissors!"
"Dad, I won."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the reserved Liu Chengqian and nodded slightly: "Take your pick!"
"yes!"
When Liu Chengqian was picking the box, Young Master Liu's expression was exactly the same as when his eldest son Liu Chengfeng was picking the box. There was no change.
Liu Chengqian held the box on the left in his arms, nodded to his father and stepped aside.
"Chengzhi."
