"Sister Ya, can you tell me to my husband, why do you think Chengzhi is qualified?"
Qi Ya chuckled and nodded, then cautiously glanced at the maids walking around in the corridor, then stretched out her hand to hold Liu Mingzhi's wrist and walked toward the dimly lit corridor in the distance.
"Husband, there are too many maids coming and going here, let's go over there and talk."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and nodded, silently following Qi Ya forward.
Qi Ya breathed out hot breath into her palms and raised her eyes to look at Liu Mingzhi.
"Husband, I'll tell you that."
"Okay, Sister Ya, just say whatever you want, I'm all ears for you."
Hearing her husband say the words "listen attentively", Qi Ya rolled her eyes at Young Master Liu angrily.
"Fuck you, stop teasing me."
"Okay, okay, sister Ya, please hurry up and say it."
"Husband, I have two ideas about whether it is appropriate for Chengzhi to inherit the throne.
First, it is a question of identity as a legitimate concubine."
When Liu Mingzhi saw Qi Ya mentioning the issue of identity, his brows could not help but frown.
When Qi Ya said the word "concubine", although she changed her words in time, just by relying on these two words, she had already guessed what Sister Ya wanted to say with the next two words.
I don't need to think deeply to know that what Sister Ya wants to say is nothing more than the distinction between direct concubine and concubine.
He took a deep look at Qi Ya, and gently turned the jade ring on his thumb with his fingers, revealing an indescribable complex color deep in his eyes.
"Sister Ya, the identity issue you mentioned is the so-called distinction between concubines and concubines?"
Hearing her husband's question, Qi Ya looked at her husband's frown. Not only did she not deny anything, but she looked at Liu Mingzhi sincerely and nodded without hesitation.
"Husband, your guess is correct. This is exactly what I want to say."
When Liu Mingzhi saw Qi Ya admitting it straightforwardly, the complicated look in his eyes became thicker again.
Qi Ya felt the complex meaning in her husband's eyes, and a look of worry could not help but appear in her beautiful eyes.
"Husband."
Liu Mingzhi rubbed his hands vigorously, looked at Qi Ya and exhaled with a faint smile: "Huh~ Sister Ya, my husband is fine, you can continue talking."
Qi Ya breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to hold her husband's generous hand.
"Husband, I know that in your heart you have always treated us sisters and others equally, and you have never favored one over another.
I am not the only one who knows this, all our sisters understand it in their hearts.
From the moment our sisters got married to your husband, you treated us all as your real wives.
Even the two sisters, Sister Chen Jie and Sister He Shu, are the same.
Our children, husband, you have also treated everyone equally.
No matter which sister's child is born, whether it is a son or a daughter, you will never treat the husband differently.
Husband, you are a husband and a father.
Everything you have done to our sisters, everything you have done to these children.
My sisters, I take everything into consideration.
However, husband, have you ever thought about it?
My sisters know everything you do, but outsiders don’t!
We sisters can understand your thoughts, your difficulties and difficulties, but outsiders cannot understand you!
Yes, husband, you treat all our children equally, and you have never cared about the so-called distinction between direct descendants and concubines.
However, the civil and military officials throughout the dynasty do not know what you are thinking in your heart, and the people in the world do not know what you are thinking in your heart, husband.
In their eyes, they only knew that the child Chengzhi was the prince born of the empress Yun'er.
He is a well-deserved and worthy of the name of the eldest son of the emperor.
Compared with your husband, you want to appoint Chengfeng, Chengqian, Zhenghao, Zhengran, and even the younger Zhengwen, Chengrui and other brothers as the current crown prince and successor in the future.
If you want to appoint Chengzhi as the crown prince, everything will go smoothly.
Looking at all the civil and military officials above the court, except for some officials with evil intentions, almost no officials would raise any objections.
In this way, husband, you can spend less energy and energy.
Husband, why did I come up with such an idea and make such a decision before?
It’s not because I am Yun’er’s younger sister, nor is it because I am deliberately partial to the child Chengzhi.
I feel sorry for you and think about your health!"
Looking at Qi Ya's red eyes, listening to Qi Ya's choked tone.
In a daze, Liu Mingzhi's eyes suddenly felt sore, and his eyes became moist involuntarily.
Qi Ya quickly took out the handkerchief from her cuffs, first wiped the corners of Liu Mingzhi's eyes a few times, then took the handkerchief back and gently wiped her own eyes.
Liu Mingzhi took out the dry tobacco bag from his waist, filled it with tobacco, and leaned over the big dragon lantern that Qi Ya picked in his hand.
Seeing that her husband was about to smoke dry cigarettes again, Qi Ya not only did not say anything to persuade him, but directly opened the outer cover and raised the lantern a little higher.
Because she knew very well in her heart that her husband needed to calm down now.
"Hush!"
Liu Mingzhi blew out a puff of smoke, stood up and looked at Qi Ya: "Sister Ya, please continue talking."
Qi Ya put down the cover of the lantern, chuckled and nodded.
"Husband, honestly speaking, in terms of personal abilities, the three brothers Chengfeng, Chengzhi, and Chenggan are all very capable.
It can be said that they all have their own strengths and weaknesses.
It is really difficult for me to ask you to judge who is higher and who is lower.
Therefore, I can only make an impartial comment from the perspective of an aunt.
Let me speak for myself, the three brothers are equally equal in terms of personal abilities.
What I said was just the personal abilities of the three brothers Chengfeng, Chengzhi, and Chenggan.
If we count all our children, Feifei, Chengfeng, Chengzhi, Yue'er... among this group of brothers and sisters.
Talk about means, talk about ability, talk about character.
Among their brothers and sisters, the one with the most outstanding personal abilities is undoubtedly Yue'er.
I can tell my conscience based on my personal abilities.
If this girl Yue'er is really serious, let alone any of the three brothers Chengfeng, Chengzhi, and Chenggan.
Even if the three brothers were tied together, they might not be a match for Yue'er.
In terms of mental ability, the three brothers are even more difficult to match.
I can say with certainty that Yue'er would really be manipulated by Chengfeng, Chengzhi, their two brothers, and Chenggan.
The three brothers were sold out by Yue'er, and they had to happily help Yue'er count the money!
Among all their brothers and sisters, who is the most suitable to inherit the throne and become the successor king?
In my opinion, Yue'er is definitely the first choice.
I can say with absolute certainty that, husband, if you let this girl Yue'er inherit the throne, I will be very happy.
In the future, after your husband passes the throne to Yue'er, the question of whether Dalong's mountains and rivers will be safe and sound.
Husband, you can definitely have nothing to worry about.
It's a pity...it's a pity..."
Qi Ya's words stopped abruptly, and she pursed her lips a few times with a complicated expression, not knowing how to say the next words better.
Liu Mingzhi took a long puff of dry cigarette, looked up at the dim night sky, and blew out a puff of light smoke with deep eyes.
"It's a pity that Yue'er is a girl after all.
One day, I will eventually get married.
Sister Ya, right?"
Qi Ya looked at her husband's melancholy expression, nodded with a wry smile, and responded with a voice as quiet as a mosquito.
"Um."
"Sister Ya, let's not talk about Yue'er, let's continue talking about Chengfeng, Chengzhi, Chenggan and their three brothers."
"Hey, I know.
Husband, I just said that in terms of personal abilities, Chengfeng and his three brothers are completely equal.
Just in terms of personal abilities, all three of their brothers are suitable to inherit the throne and become the successor kings.
However, this kid Chengfeng married this girl Serena.
Husband, I want to tell you the truth, although Serena is not our Dalong girl, I still like this girl very much.
Not only the girl Serena, but also the grandson Chenyu, I also like her very much.
I believe that sisters Yun'er, Lian'er and Yan'er are also the same as me.
Especially sister Lian'er, not to mention, Serena is her good daughter-in-law, and Chenyu is her grandson!
However, I like it, and all my sisters like it, so it’s useless!
Husband, do you think that the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty are the common people of the world?
Will they recognize from the bottom of their hearts that this girl Serena is the mother of a country, and will they sincerely recognize this child Chenyu as the grandson of our Dalong Emperor?
Husband, there is something I don’t want to say, but I have to say it.
Let alone the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the common people of the world.
Even if it’s you, my husband, my sisters and others, we all have a tacit understanding of the same in our hearts.
Non-my family, its heart must be different."
Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi glanced back at Qi Ya, and just nodded silently without saying anything.
After Qi Ya saw her husband's reaction, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and the slight embarrassment in her heart was instantly wiped away.
"Husband, after excluding the child Chengfeng.
Now that they have grown up, Chengzhi and Chenggan are the only two brothers who are suitable to inherit the throne and become successors in terms of their age.
Chengzhi and Chengqian are brothers. The reason why I think Chengzhi is more suitable to inherit the throne.
It's because Chengzhi is already married to Jingyao, has a family, and has a pair of children.
On the other hand, this child Cheng Gan is still alone and has not yet married this girl Tong'er!
Husband, now we are no longer an ordinary family.
To our couple and our family, the children of Chengzhi and Jingyao are just our grandchildren.
To my father and mother, I am just their great-grandson and great-granddaughter.
But to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he was the emperor's grandson!
If Chengzhi is appointed as the Crown Prince by your husband, then he will be the Crown Prince.
A prince who has a son, and a prince who has not yet started a family and has no heirs.
Although they are both our sons and the current princes, the difference is huge.
Husband, the emperor's grandson is not just our grandson.
He can even stabilize people's hearts and minds!
Husband, as the king of a country, you should know this more clearly than I, a concubine and a female, right?
It is precisely because of this that I feel that the child Chengzhi is more suitable to inherit the throne than the child Chengqian."
Liu Mingzhi nodded silently, first knocked out the ashes from the tobacco pot under his feet, and then took off his wine bag from his waist.
"My husband understands."
"Husband, I think so because you just told me that you plan to select one of our children to be the crown prince and crown prince next year.
Therefore, I think that this child Chengzhi is more suitable.
If you, husband, wait a little longer, wait until Cheng Qian and Tong'er are married and have children of their own before you ask about this question of my concubine.
Maybe, I don’t necessarily think so, and I may not answer my husband like this.
What I said is from the bottom of my heart. As for whether you believe it, husband, I don’t know."
Liu Mingzhi took off the wine bag from his mouth, raised the wine bag in his hand with a faint smile and handed it to Qi Ya.
"Sister Hao Ya, if you say that, my husband will make me angry.
If I don’t believe you, husband, why should I talk to you about this issue calmly?"
Qi Ya'e raised her eyebrows and took the wine bag from Liu Mingzhi's hand with a smile.
"Yes, yes, I am in the wrong body. Isn't it okay that I am in the wrong body?"
As soon as the beauty finished speaking, she directly raised the wine bag and sent it towards her lips.
Young Master Liu looked at Qi Ya who was drinking. He raised his hand and tightened his tight cloak, and then put the tobacco bag on his waist with a chuckle.
Qi Ya wiped the wine from the corner of her mouth with her fingers and handed the wine bag to her husband with a smile.
"Why did you drink the peach blossom wine I prepared for you when my daughter was red?"
"I don't want to drink it. That peach blossom wine is the wine that Sister Haoya personally brewed for my husband. The more you drink, the less you drink. Naturally, I have to drink sparingly."
"Virtue means knowing how to speak nicely.
I will brew some peach blossom wine for you every year and store it in the cellar, and you won’t be able to drink it all until you die.
If you don’t want to drink, just say so. Why do you say it sounds so nice?”
"No, no, everything my husband said is true.
Sister Ya, I want to ask you another question for my husband."
"Huh? What's the problem?"
"If Cheng Qian is already married and has children of his own.
In this case, among the candidates whom my husband plans to appoint as the crown prince, Chengzhi or Chenggan, who do you prefer?"
Hearing her husband's question, Qi Ya replied without thinking: "It's still Chengzhi."
"Huh? Sister Ya, don't you think about it?"
Qi Ya put away the wine bag that she was about to hand to Young Master Liu, raised her head and took a few sips of the wine again, looking at Young Master Liu with complex eyes.
"Husband, some things are just legitimate issues to put it bluntly!"
