After Mrs. Liu responded softly twice, she looked at Liu Zhi'an with her red lips pursing softly, and was speechless again.
"Madam, let's talk about the third point.
As Madam, you just said, Chengzhi's child's prestige among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty is indeed very good.
But, my good lady, you have to figure out one of the most crucial things.
That is, the person who can really decide whether Chengzhi's child will eventually be appointed as the crown prince is not the civil and military officials above the court, but the bastard who is the boss of our family.
The eldest son of our family is the king of our country and the ninth-five-year-old king of our dragon.
He is the one who can truly decide whether Chengzhi's child will be appointed as the crown prince or heir apparent.
As long as he, the father of a country, does not agree, he is not willing to appoint Chengzhi's child as the crown prince.
Then, Chengzhi's child will never be able to become our Dalong's crown prince or our future successor.
Therefore, even if Chengzhi's child's prestige in the eyes of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty is very good, so what?
The civil and military officials above the court, at most they dared to write a memorial to our boss to praise the child Chengzhi for being so gentle, humble, self-denial and devoted to the public service.
How could he be both virtuous and open-minded?
Then, what happened again...
In short, it was just one sentence. What they wrote on the memorial document must be full of praise for the child Chengzhi.
Then, those old foxes will start admonishing that bastard our boss.
I advise him that for the sake of the country and the country of our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty, he should appoint a child like Chengzhi, who has both political integrity and talent, is gentle and courteous, as the Crown Prince."
When Liu Zhi'an reached this point in his eloquent conversation, he reached out to pick up the wine on the table and took a small sip to moisten his throat.
Immediately, he lightly smacked his lips twice and looked at Madam Liu with a slight frown across from him with a smile.
"But, my good lady, have you ever thought about it?
What else can the civil and military officials above the court do besides writing a letter to remonstrate with our boss, that bastard?
If that bastard boss of our family doesn't agree with their advice, do they still dare to force our boss to make that boy Chengzhi the crown prince?"
After listening to Liu Zhi'an's remarks, Mrs. Liu pondered for a while with a strange look on her face, then breathed a sigh of relief with a light smile.
"Hehe, hehehe, uh-huh, I understand.
Old thing, keep talking."
As soon as Mrs. Liu finished speaking, she picked up the wine glass on the low table with her fingers and brought it straight to her mouth.
Liu Zhi'an smiled lightly and nodded, then glanced at Mrs. Liu who was sipping her drink, raised her glass and took a sip of the drink.
"Madam, let's talk about the last point.
As you just said, Ya Yatou and Yun Yatou are the biological brothers of sisters, and our eldest brother-in-law Qi Liang, he is now the governor of the three prefectures.
And he is not an ordinary governor of the three prefectures, but a governor of the three prefectures who oversees all important military and political affairs within the three prefectures.
Qi Liang is the uncle of Chengzhi's child, so he must support his nephew in the position of crown prince and heir apparent.
This is beyond doubt.
But, Madam, you need to know how that kid Qi Liang got his position as the Governor of the Third Prefecture.
And who gave him the right to take charge of all military and political affairs within the three prefectures!"
After hearing what her master said, Mrs. Liu almost didn't think about it at all, and instantly understood the profound meaning contained in Liu Zhi'an's last two words.
Seeing the sudden look of understanding on Mrs. Liu's face, Liu Zhi'an picked up two peanuts from the plate and threw them into his mouth with a smile.
"Madam, it seems you have understood what I mean."
After Mrs. Liu took a sip of wine with her red lips slightly open, she looked up at Liu Zhi'an and nodded gently.
"Yes, I understand."
"Madam, regarding Qi Liang's matter, I would like to borrow the words I just mentioned when talking about the second point.
Since the bastard boss of our family can give rights to that kid Qi Liang, he can also take those rights back.
In other words, whether that kid Qi Liang can always hold the power is ultimately decided by our boss, that bastard!"
As the words from Liu Zhi'an's mouth fell, Mrs. Liu gently sipped the wine at the corner of her lips.
"Old man, this means that the things I just mentioned will certainly have a certain influence on whether Chengzhi's child will eventually be registered as the crown prince.
However, it doesn’t have much influence!”
Liu Zhi'an raised his head slightly and drank the wine in the glass. He looked at Madam Liu with a slightly raised brow and nodded with a slight smile.
"Madam, you can put it that way.
As I said before, it is the boss of our family who has the final say as to whose hands the chair will be passed on in the end!
Apart from the real decisions he made in his heart, all other external factors were just imaginary.
In short, it’s just one sentence.
As long as Chengzhi is strong enough, there will definitely be no one left besides his crown prince.
On the other hand, if Chengzhi fails to live up to his expectations, not to mention the civil and military officials above the court and that boy Qi Liang will support him.
Even if the two of us, as well as our sisters, Yun Yatou, Ya Yatou, Yaner Yatou, Lianer Yatou, Wanyan Yatou, Junyao Yatou, Yunshu Yatou, and a large group of others all support Chengzhi's child, it will be of no use.
If he is not destined to be in that position, he is destined to be in that position!
On top of other things, with the persuasion of our entire family, our bastard boss might be able to compromise.
However, it is absolutely impossible for our boss to compromise on this matter.
It is related to our Dalong's hundred thousand miles of mountains and rivers, as well as the common people of the world. He must choose a person who is truly suitable to inherit that chair!"
Listening to Liu Zhi'an's voice full of sighs, Mrs. Liu raised her head slightly and drank the wine in her glass in one breath.
"Old man, put down the glass, I'll pour you some wine."
"Hahaha, okay, okay."
Liu Zhi'an responded cheerfully and gently placed the wine glass in his hand on the low table.
Mrs. Liu slightly reached her waist, first put down the wine glass in her hand, and then picked up the wine flask and filled two glasses of wine.
Immediately, she put down the wine glass in her hand and glanced curiously at Liu Zhian, who was eating peanuts by himself.
"Old thing."
When Liu Zhi'an heard this, he paused slightly at the action of throwing peanuts in his mouth, and immediately turned his head to look at Mrs. Liu.
"Well, ma'am, what's wrong?"
Seeing the slightly confused expression on Liu Zhi'an's face, Mrs. Liu gently turned her neck and looked around the courtyard with vigilant eyes.
When she was sure that the surrounding area of the courtyard was still quiet and there were no sounds of footsteps or voices, she immediately leaned forward and moved closer to Liu Zhi'an.
"Old man, tell me what's on your mind.
Seriously, among our grandchildren, which one of their brothers do you think is the most suitable to inherit Zhi'er's chair?"
Hearing his wife's question, Liu Zhi'an's expression changed slightly, and he quickly stood up and turned his head to look around the courtyard quickly.
Seeing Liu Zhi'an's behavior and reaction, Mrs. Liu raised her eyebrows and chuckled a few times.
"Hehehe, old man, look at your fussy reaction, you can rest assured.
Mom, I just observed it quietly and breathlessly, except for the two of us, there is absolutely no one around in the yard."
When Liu Zhi'an heard what his wife said, he immediately withdrew his eyes that were looking back and forth, turned to look at Mrs. Liu and suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief.
Immediately, he looked at his wife with a helpless look on his face, and a slightly bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Where is the madam, where is my good madam!
You said you, you are so good, you can only talk about this topic?"
Mrs. Liu looked at Liu Zhi'an's helpless look, smiled lightly, put one hand on the armrest of the rocking chair, and gently supported her chin with the other.
"Old man, there are only two of us in the whole yard.
So, you don’t have to worry about what you said to me being heard by others, just tell me what’s on your mind!
Seriously, who among Chengfeng, Chengzhi, Chengqian, Zhenghao, Zhengran and others do you think is the most suitable to inherit that chair?"
Seeing the curious expression on his wife's face, Liu Zhi'an raised his thumb and scratched his brow, then looked at Mrs. Liu with a slightly hesitant look.
"Madam, this, this, that and so on.
It seems inappropriate for the two of us to discuss this topic, right?"
Mrs. Liu put down the right hand that was holding her chin, and rolled her eyes at Liu Zhi'an, pretending to be unhappy.
Immediately, her toes tapped lightly on the ground, and the rocking chair immediately began to rock gently.
"Inappropriate? What's inappropriate?
We have been an old married couple for most of our lives, is there anything else that we cannot discuss in detail in private?"
"Uh! Uh! Tsk, this, this!"
Liu Zhi'an groaned a few times and then looked at Mrs. Liu with a troubled expression.
"Madam, here is my good lady.
To be honest, if you want to talk about other topics with me, there is really nothing that we, an old couple, cannot talk about.
However, madam, the topic you just talked about is really not easy to elaborate on!"
Seeing Liu Zhi'an's reaction, Mrs. Liu suddenly raised her hand and patted the armrest of the rocking chair hard, then glared at Liu Zhi'an with an angry look.
"Old guy, are you going to tell me?
If you don't say anything, I will go back and rest."
"Hey, madam, here you are! Here you are!"
"Mom, what am I doing? Stop talking nonsense. Do you want to say it or not?"
Liu Zhi'an looked at his wife's angry eyes and deliberately pretended to be unhappy. After turning his head and looking around for a week, he nodded happily to Mrs. Liu.
"Yes, yes, good madam, I say, I say, can't you do it?"
When Mrs. Liu saw that Liu Zhi'an finally agreed to continue chatting with her, she nodded lightly with a satisfied look on her face.
"That's pretty much it. Just tell me, I'm listening!"
Liu Zhi'an picked up the wine glass on the low table, raised his head slightly and drank the wine in one gulp, then immediately leaned towards Mrs. Liu.
"Madam, please speak your mind.
In my heart, the person who is really suitable to inherit that chair is not Chengfeng, Chengzhi, Chengqian, Zhenghao and their brothers, but that stinky girl Yue'er.
Among the large group of brothers and sisters, including Yiyi, Feifei, Chengfeng, Chengzhi, Yaoyao, Yue'er, and Chengqian, the child who looks most like our eldest son, the brat, is Yue'er.
Don't look at Yue'er, that girl is always careless and reckless.
In fact, among their brothers and sisters, she was the most considerate.
If it were just a single round of personal ability, among their brothers, sisters and others, Yue'er was definitely the best choice to inherit that chair.
No matter what, things in the world are unpredictable, so she was born into a daughter's family!"
After listening to Liu Zhi'an's words full of sighs, Mrs. Liu raised her eyebrows slightly with a strange expression.
"Old man, do you also think that girl Yue'er is the most suitable to inherit that position?"
As soon as Mrs. Liu said this, the expression on Liu Zhian's face instantly became weird.
"Madam, based on the tone of your words, do you think that Yue'er is the most suitable chair to inherit?"
Listening to Liu Zhi'an's question, Mrs. Liu was silent for a while with a melancholy expression. She looked up at Liu Zhi'an and sighed softly.
"well!"
"Old guy, to be honest, I've seen this a long time ago.
I think I am not the only one who has noticed this, but even Zhi'er, Yun'er, Yan'er, Lian'er, Wanyan, Yun Shu and other sisters have also noticed this a long time ago.
It's a pity that it's just like what you just said.
Things are unpredictable, but Yue'er was born into a daughter's family.
Her status as a daughter is destined to be the biggest stumbling block for her to inherit that position!"
As soon as Mrs. Liu finished speaking, she raised the wine bottle on the low table with a complicated expression and shook it gently for a few times, then glanced sideways at Liu Zhi'an with a smile.
"Old man, there's not much wine left in the pot.
After the two of us finish drinking, we will go back early to wash up and rest."
Liu Zhi'an nodded happily, pressed the armrest of the rocking chair with one hand, and slowly stood up from the rocking chair.
Immediately, he gently put his hands on his back and raised his eyes melancholy to the bright moon in the night sky that had turned westward.
