Listening to Liu Mingzhi's gentle and doting words, the Queen spat softly with eyes that seemed both angry and happy.
"Pah, you know how to say something nice."
"Hahaha, it's polite. What do you mean by saying something nice? For my husband, I am telling the truth, okay?"
When the Queen was about to speak, she suddenly pushed away Young Master Liu who was holding her waist, then turned slightly and looked towards the corner of the palace on the left.
"At the corner, someone is coming."
Seeing the Queen's reaction, Liu Mingzhi turned around and looked at where the Queen was talking about.
Sure enough, after only three or five breaths, a group of patrolling soldiers walked out from the front left corner.
However, they did not turn towards the road where Liu Mingzhi and the Queen were, but continued to patrol along that road.
Young Master Liu withdrew his gaze, smiled slightly and tugged on the Queen's sleeve, then started walking forward without any haste.
"Plain words, let's go. Let's go to Brother Huyan's place."
The Queen withdrew her gaze and immediately followed her.
"Hey, here we come."
After the Queen caught up with Young Master Liu, she raised her elbow and gently touched Young Master Liu's arm.
"Heartless."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"You are heartless. Let's not say anything joking. I want to talk to you seriously about this girl Yue'er."
Seeing the empress' solemn expression, Young Master Liu's expression immediately became serious.
"To put it mildly, I wonder what you want to talk to my husband about?"
"Husband, you just said that regarding this girl Yue'er's feelings, you meant to let nature take its course, right?"
When Liu Mingzhi saw the queen mentioning the little cutie's feelings again, he smiled and nodded.
"That's right, let nature take its course."
"This means that if Yue'er really has feelings for Duan Dingbang, you won't object to the matter between the two of them?"
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and nodded without hesitation.
"Hehehe, of course it is."
Seeing that Young Master Liu answered so straightforwardly, the Queen frowned slightly and nodded her head lightly.
"Okay, I understand politely."
Seeing the changes in the expression on the Queen's pretty face, Liu Mingzhi pondered thoughtfully for a moment, then gently shook the branch in his hand a few times.
"To put it bluntly, husband, I hear what you are saying, and it seems that something is not quite right.
What? Don’t you look down on that guy Duan Dingbang?”
When the Queen heard Young Master Liu's inquiry, she waved her hand hurriedly.
"No, no, I didn't mean that."
"real?"
Seeing that Liu Mingzhi didn't seem to believe her, the Queen smiled coquettishly and rolled her eyes.
"Keke, of course it's true.
Do I lie to you about such a small thing?
A few years ago, I politely followed you. When I first met Duan Dingbang, I had a good sense of this kid.
Although I haven't had much dealings with him, and I don't know much about this person's moral character, I do know your vision, husband.
I don’t understand his virtue, don’t I understand my own man?
A young man who can be so valued by your husband and entrusted with important responsibilities by your husband should not be far behind in terms of virtue.
In a word, I believe in your vision.
Someone you think is good will definitely not be too bad.
In this case, how can I not look down on this guy Duan Dingbang?"
Hearing the queen's answer, Liu Mingzhi immediately laughed.
"Hahaha, it turns out that's what you think of Wanyuan."
The Queen turned to look at Young Master Liu and shrugged her shoulders casually.
"if not?"
"To put it bluntly, as my husband, I am just a living person of flesh and blood, not the omnipotent god in the legend. Aren't you afraid that, as your husband, I may make mistakes sometimes?"
The Queen looked at Young Master Liu and smiled brightly, then she let out a long breath with her mouth slightly opened.
"Hehehe, there's no point in being afraid, just let nature take its course!"
Seeing the Queen answering him with the words he just said, Liu Mingzhi's expression was slightly startled, and then he chuckled happily.
"Hahaha, yes.
What's the use of being afraid, what should be done is ultimately not what should be done.
To put it bluntly, this stinky girl Yue'er is already twenty years old this year, which is not too young.
According to normal circumstances, she has already reached the age where she should get married.
Over the years, this stinky girl's character has remained the same as when she was a child, with almost no major changes.
No matter what she does, she is still so carefree and does not look like a daughter at all.
Among the sisters, I am not worried about my husband when it comes to getting married. I am only worried about this stinky girl's lifelong affairs.
Ever since this girl Yue'er became an adult, I see that she has no intention of thinking about her life-long affairs at all, and I am still a little worried in my heart.
This girl is so independent and full of ideas.
Her thoughts and ideas are completely different from those of her sisters.
To be honest, as this girl gets older and older, even as a husband, I can’t see through this stinky girl’s thoughts.”
Hearing Young Master Liu's last words, the Queen's pupils shrank suddenly and she couldn't help but frown.
"This! You are so heartless, can't you even see through it?"
Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then turned to look at the Queen and nodded silently.
"Yes, I can't see through this girl's current thoughts, even if it's her husband.
To put it bluntly, I don’t think you can’t guess it.
My husband, I took all of you sisters out of the capital this time and rushed to the Western Regions to visit relatives. What kind of thoughts did I have in my heart?
As a husband, I can tell you clearly that as a husband, I just hope that the brothers and sisters can compete with each other.
In other words, as a husband, I want to give this stinky girl Yue'er a chance.
It's a pity that Yue'er, a stinky girl, seems to have failed to seize this opportunity."
When the Queen listened to Young Master Liu's straightforward words, a hint of darkness suddenly flashed across her exquisite eyes.
Immediately, she turned around and looked at Mr. Liu, with a bitter smile on her lips.
"Hehehe, maybe everything is fate."
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the queen who looked disappointed, smiled softly, opened her arms and stretched her body.
"To put it bluntly, you don't understand this stinky girl Yue'er very well.
As my husband said, she did not seize the opportunity I gave her.
However, the fact that she did not seize this opportunity did not mean that this girl could not figure out the intention of her husband's move.
This girl looks carefree on the surface, but actually she knows very well in her heart!
My husband, I can tell you for sure that this girl did not seize the opportunity that my husband gave her. It is not because she is confused and cannot guess my intentions.
But, this girl doesn’t want this opportunity.”
Hearing Mr. Liu's seemingly profound words, the Queen couldn't help but froze.
"What?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the queen's stunned expression and threw away the branch in his hand with a smile.
"To put it bluntly, you only need to know one thing, that is, this stinky girl has a bigger heart than anyone else!
Chengfeng, Chengzhi, and Chenggan are three brothers, and each of them has outstanding abilities.
Among their peers of similar age, the three brothers are already very outstanding.
Although as a husband, I rarely praise the three brothers, but in my heart, as a husband, I still very much recognize the abilities and virtues of the three brothers.
However, the three brothers are capable and virtuous.
But in terms of character, she is far behind Yue'er, a stinky girl.
Compared to Yue'er, this stinky girl's character, the three of them tied together can at best be about 60 to 70% comparable to Yue'er.
Around 60% to 70%, what I said may be a bit high for my husband."
After listening to Liu Mingzhi's evaluation of the little cutie, the queen was silent for a while, and then the expression on her pretty face gradually became complicated.
"You're heartless, it seems you have a very high opinion of this girl Yue'er!"
"To put it bluntly, as a husband, I don't want to have such a high opinion of Yue'er, but this girl really deserves this evaluation.
It's a pity...it's a pity..."
Seeing Liu Mingzhi hesitate to speak, the Queen took over his words with a somewhat disappointed expression.
"It's a pity that this girl was born a girl, right?"
Liu Mingzhi turned his head and glanced at the Queen, then nodded sadly.
"That's right."
"If you have no conscience, just say something unpleasant in a polite way.
In this case, you have told me many times.
I felt disappointed from the beginning when I heard you say these words to me, and then continued to feel disappointed afterwards.
I have heard such words so many times that over time, I have become a little numb."
Listening to the Queen's emotional tone, Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but frown, then turned to look at the beauty walking side by side with him, and smacked his lips a few times with a complicated expression.
"To put it bluntly, you know very well in your heart that as your husband, I have never objected to Yue'er, the girl, inheriting that position.
Even, sometimes, as husband, I will consciously or unconsciously want to encourage this girl Yue'er to inherit that position.
However, you have also seen the specific situation with your own eyes.
It's not that I don't care about my husband, but that girl Yue'er doesn't care about her!
Yiyi, Feifei, Chengfeng, Chengzhi, Yaoyao, Yue'er, Chengqian, Zhenghao, Lingyun and their brothers and sisters are all our sons and daughters, and the palms and backs of these hands are all flesh.
As a husband, I cannot deliberately favor any one of my brothers and sisters when it comes to inheriting a great cause.
Therefore, as a husband, I can only settle the matter and let the brothers and sisters fight for it on their own.
The reason why I do this for my husband is because I am still young for my husband.
At that time, no matter what kind of things their brothers and sisters have done or what mistakes they have made that do not violate their principles, as husband, I will be able to help them put an end to it at any time.
When it comes to dealing with my children, as a husband, I ask myself, and I can tell you without guilt that I have done things fairly and justly.
However, what is the actual situation?
The fact is, it's not that I don't give girl Yue'er the chance to inherit that position because of my husband, but that this girl doesn't value the opportunities that I give her as my husband.
She doesn't pay attention to the opportunity I said she would give her. What should I do if you ask me to do it? Do I want to force that position into her hands?
I politely say that you are my good wife for my husband. Aren't Yun'er, Yan'er, Lian'er, Sister Ya, and Lingyi my good wife for my husband?
Yue'er is my biological flesh and blood, and Yiyi, Chengfeng, Chengzhi, Chengqian, Lingyun, Zhenghao and their brothers and sisters are not my biological flesh and blood.
You sisters are all my husband's wives, and suddenly all my brothers and sisters are my husband's closest relatives.
Under this situation, as a husband, even if I know that this stinky girl Yue'er is the most suitable person to inherit the throne, what can I do?
As a husband, can I ignore the feelings of everyone except you, Yue'er and Chengrui and your three mothers, and just favor Yue'er, this stinky girl?"
The Queen listened to Young Master Liu's helpless tone and saw the helpless expression on Liu Mingzhi's face, and shook her head hurriedly.
"Husband, I don't mean this politely.
When we talked about this matter, I have never denied that I was very disappointed in my heart that Yue'er could not inherit the throne.
However, this does not mean that I must have Yue'er..."
Before the Queen could finish her sentence, Liu Mingzhi waved her hand to interrupt her.
"Euphemism."
"Huh? Heartless?"
"To put it bluntly, you don't need to explain anything about this matter. As a husband, I know it very well."
"But."
As soon as the Queen opened her mouth, Liu Mingzhi interrupted her again.
"No buts."
"To put it politely, I'll tell you this for my husband's sake.
If Yue'er inherits the throne, there will be great disadvantages in the future.
The most obvious point is that Yue'er will have her own lover in the future, and then she will have her own children.
As a husband, I don't worry about what Yue'er thinks, but as a husband, I am afraid of what her future husband and her children will think.
In this way, it is very likely that the tail will be too big to fall off.
If the tail is too big to fall off, it will be a big problem!
To put it bluntly, if the tail is too big to fall off, it means there is a possibility of bleeding.
At that time, no matter whose hands are stained with whose blood.
It will be a tragedy for us and our whole family.
Therefore, as a husband, I not only hope that Yue'er will fight for that position, but I am also afraid that she will fight for that position.
In short, as a husband, I don’t want to see this happen.”
The queen listened to Liu Mingzhi's words full of sorrow and nodded with a complicated expression.
"Husband, I understand, I understand. I understand."
Liu Mingzhi took a deep breath, smiled lightly and patted the back of the Queen's hand.
"To put it bluntly, it is said that men should marry when they are young, and women should marry when they are young.
This has been the case since ancient times.
Husband, I still said what I said just now. I saw that Yue'er had no intention of thinking about her life-long affairs, and I was still a little worried in my heart.
Duan Dingbang is a boy who is quite good among his peers in terms of his background, personal virtues and abilities.
If this girl Yue'er really has thoughts about the love between children and that boy, as my husband, I will naturally be very happy to facilitate the marriage between the two of them."
"What if not?"
"Hahaha, if not, I'll just let nature take its course."
"Uh! Okay."
While Liu Mingzhi and the Queen were talking, they finally arrived at Hu Yanyu's residence.
The Queen looked at Young Master Liu who was adjusting his sleeves, then turned to look at the patrolling soldiers passing by not far away, with complicated eyes and silently let out a sigh of relief.
Silly Yue'er, silly Yue'er, why is your father so confident?
The fundamental reason is that he holds all the soldiers and horses in the world in his hands.
With your current identity and status, coupled with your father's love for you.
The power of the DPRK is within easy reach for you.
However, except for your acquiescence or permission, no one among you brothers and sisters can easily interfere with this military force.
Great power in the court and the power of soldiers and horses.
Which one is more important between the two is obvious.
You would rather give up all the rights in the Palace of Ten Kings than follow us on a journey of thousands of miles.
