Chapter 25 Jiangshan Beauty Two Choices Only Nalan Zhenhai and Nalan Qingyi were left in the room.
Nalan Zhenhai looked at the son born to the woman he loved most, the future heir to his country, and he felt regretful in his heart, "I should not have sent you to the common people back then."
"Why did your father say that?" Nalan Qingyi raised his head in surprise.
"During the war, for your safety, I fostered you among the people, but I didn't want you to grow up and enter the palace without the spirit you should have." Nalan Zhenhai looked at Nalan Qingyi, "The king cannot
Of course, Qingyi, you are too much like your mother, too kind and upright."
Nalan Qingyi lowered his eyes, "I thought my father had forgotten my mother."
"She is the love of my life, how could I forget her." A slender figure appeared in Nalan Zhenhai's mind, and a touch of gentleness appeared in his sharp eyes.
Nalan Qingyi still lowered his head, and a certain light flashed away in his calm eyes, as fast as if it had never existed. When he raised his head, his eyes were still soft, "Mother, let father remember
It must be very happy to know so clearly.”
"It's a pity that she can no longer accompany me." Nalan Zhenhai looked regretful, "Qingyi, I made you the crown prince because your mother is my favorite woman, so I want to
I will give you the whole country, and I hope you can take it."
Nalan Qingyi nodded slightly, "I have been working hard."
"You have not tried hard at all," Nalan Zhenhai stood up, "I have been observing you for a long time. Even your second brother is more ambitious and cruel than you. How come you don't know how to guard against others?
Where is your heart? Apart from Yu Yingxuan, who else in this court regards you as the prince, and who else will stand by your side."
"My son is useless and has not satisfied my father." Nalan Qingyi looked guilty, "It's just that my son has been working hard, but I can't agree with other people's actions. I can't bear to hurt other people's lives."
"The country is bought with blood." Nalan Zhenhai's voice was like a bell, "Facing this picturesque country, do you know how many bones are piled underneath? If I hadn't killed those people many years ago, then I would be lying here now
The one who falls is me."
A look of indifference appeared in Nalan Qingyi's eyes, "Can't the world be peaceful?"
"You still don't understand," Nalan Haizhen said helplessly, "As long as you have anything to do with the river, it cannot be related to peace. If you don't fight for it, others will come to fight for it."
"I don't understand," Nalan Qingyi said warmly, "It's just that I have lived among the people for too long. The harmony there has made me lose my spirit. Even after entering the palace, I have not given up to my father at all.
The king is satisfied. I know that I have made my father angry. I hope my father will take care of himself and not be angry with me. I can accept any punishment."
"How could I be willing to punish you?" Nalan Zhenhai stood up and walked towards Nalan Qingyi, "I will protect this country for you, but you must also learn to grow up."
"My son will not let my father down." Nalan Qingyi said helplessly, but he couldn't even deceive himself.
Nalan Zhenhai sat down next to Nalan Qingyi, took the cup of hot tea brought by the servant, took a sip, and changed the topic, "Qingyi, what do you think of the Crown Princess?"
"Yi Rong?" Nalan Qingyi was puzzled, "Why did my father suddenly ask this? Hasn't my father always liked Yi Rong?"
"I feel that she is different from before." Nalan Zhenhai looked at Nalan Qingyi with sharp eyes, "Don't say you don't feel it."
"I feel it," Nalan Qingyi replied honestly, "Maybe it's because she has been bullied too much in the past, so she has become stronger."
Nalan Zhenhai shook his head, "You are still too naive. Maybe she has not become stronger, but has been hiding her true nature. Now she feels that she no longer needs to hide it, so she exposed it."
"No," Nalan Qingyi explained, "Yi Rong and I grew up together among the people. She has been kind, considerate, and gentle to everyone since she was a child."
"That was before. How would you describe her now?"
Nalan Qingyi was speechless.
Nalan Zhenhai continued: "I will answer this for you. You are so arrogant, smart, bold, and vicious now that even I don't look down on you."
"Father, you misunderstood." Nalan Qingyi tried to explain, but when he met Nalan Zhenhai's gaze, he was speechless. Of course he understood Jing Yirong's change, just as Jing Yirong said, in fact
Except for that body, she was nothing like the Jing Yirong she once was. But he didn't care, he loved Jing Yirong like this.
Nalan Zhenhai looked at Nalan Qingyi intently, "Qingyi, you can't keep this woman."
"Father!" Nalan Qingyi raised his head in shock.
"If she can say something like this today, she will be able to steal your kingdom tomorrow after you succeed to the throne." Nalan Zhenhai looked at Nalan Qingyi seriously, "Don't say it's impossible, her
Arrogantly, let everyone know that she dares."
"She dares, but she won't." Nalan Qingyi looked at Nalan Zhenhai sincerely, "Father, can you believe me just once? She won't do this to me. I grew up with her, and she
She has a deep love for me and will definitely not harm me even if she harms everyone."
Nalan Zhenhai sneered, "Are you really sure?"
"Yes," Nalan Qingyi nodded affirmatively, he was willing to risk his life.
Nalan Zhenhai stopped talking, just silent, as if thinking about something. His eyes were like ice knives, staring directly at Nalan Qingyi, as if he wanted to use a blade to dissect his layers, and then see if he said what he said.
It was the truth. In the end, no hesitation was found on Nalan Qingyi's face.
"Qingyi, what would you do if the king asked you to choose between kings, mountains, and beauties?" Nalan Zhenhai asked hypothetically.
Nalan Qingyi's body was shocked, and she was in disbelief, "What does the father mean by his words?"
"It's just a hypothesis," Nalan Zhenhai chuckled, "If I said you could only choose one between Jing Yirong and the crown prince, what would you choose?"
Nalan Qingyi frowned and looked at Nalan Zhenhai seriously.
Nalan Zhenhai didn't dodge, and looked directly at Nalan Qingyi's sad eyes. If he couldn't decide between Jing Yirong and the crown prince position, it meant that he could still be saved.
"Is it difficult to choose?" Nalan Zhenhai spoke again, "If you really can't choose, how about I help you choose?"
Nalan Qingyi smiled bitterly, "It's not difficult to choose at all, because I have never put anything at the same level as clothes and appearance. No matter what is placed on the other end, I will choose clothes and appearance without hesitation. I hesitate.
It's because I'm afraid that my father will really be dissatisfied with his clothes and appearance. If my father really wants to touch his clothes and appearance, even if I really give up my position as the crown prince, I still won't be able to stop him."
Pain appeared on Nalan Zhenhai's eyebrows, and he became angry instantly. He pointed at Nalan Qingyi, "You are really useless! I gave the country to you, but you didn't even hesitate to choose a beauty. Do you know that beauty is a disaster?
One day you will hand over this country to others."
Nalan Qingyi bent his knees and knelt in front of Nalan Zhenhai, "My son knows that he has disappointed his father, but Yi Rong has grown up with him since he was a child. When he was living alone among the people, he
When I didn’t have the title of prince, Yi Rong was already by my side. If I gave up Yi Rong who was always by my side because of my country, I would be the most ungrateful person in the world. Such is my father’s country.
What’s the point of giving it to your son?”
"So you would rather abandon your country than your beauty?" Nalan Zhenhai deliberately lowered his voice and tried his best to restrain the anger in his heart.
Nalan Qingyi knew that she shouldn't say anything anymore, but she still nodded stubbornly.
Nalan Zhenhai closed his eyes desperately, suppressing all the disappointment in his heart, and waved his hand feebly, "Go back."
"Will Father change his clothes?" Nalan Qingyi knew that speaking now would only add fuel to the fire, but she couldn't help but ask.
Nalan Zhenhai opened his flashing eyes and let out a long sigh, "I was just assuming, now I don't want to see you again, so go back."
"My son is unfilial, I must resign," Nalan Qingyi glanced at Nalan Zhenhai heartbrokenly, then turned and left. She turned her back to Nalan Zhenhai and naturally did not see anything but disappointment in Nalan Zhenhai's eyes.
There was also a sinister aura. Nalan Zhenhai didn't even notice that in the depths of Nalan Qingyi's eyes, that strange light that made people unable to torture seemed to just flash by without surprise.
, it seems to be something else.
Nalan Qingyi walked out of the house and saw Yu Yingxuan and Jing Yirong talking in the pavilion. Jing Yirong smiled lightly, not even when talking to himself.
Yu Yingxuan has strong martial arts skills, a tall and straight figure, and a strong and resolute attitude. How could he be as gentle and soft as jade, with no martial arts skills at all. When he got closer, Yu Yingxuan had left and only Jing Yirong and Xiao Yan were left.
.
When Nalan Qingyi stepped into the pavilion, she heard Jing Yirong's words, "Don't trust anyone easily." Her heart moved and she asked, "Yirong, do you believe me?"
Jing Yirong looked at Nalan Qingyi, "When did you come?"
"Just arrived," Nalan Qingyi said reluctantly, "Do you believe me?"
"I don't believe it." Jing Yirong said without hesitation, "There is no need to ask questions that you know the answers to."
"I thought you would change a little." Nalan Qingyi smiled bitterly.
Jing Yirong looked away and did not look at Nalan Qingyi's disappointment.
Nalan Qingyi immediately smiled again, "Forget it, let's not bring up this issue. Let's go back and have lunch. Zhenqi and Zhijin should be waiting in a hurry."
"What did Nalan Zhenhai say?" Jing Yirong asked without surprise.
Nalan Qingyi was stunned, "It's nothing, just some common words."
"Nalan Qingyi," Jing Yirong stopped, "do you know that you are not suitable for lying?"
Nalan Qingyi stood in front of Jing Yirong in embarrassment, "I, I just..."
"I'm not interested in listening, I just asked indifferently. If you don't want to say anything next time, just don't answer. Your obvious lying skills make me feel embarrassed." After Jing Yirong finished speaking, he continued to walk towards the crown prince's palace.
Nalan Qingyi stood behind Jing Yirong, looking at the moving figure in pink and blue in front of him. Even though her tone was cold and she turned a blind eye to him, as long as she looked at him quietly like this, he felt very satisfied.
My heart seemed to be filled to the brim.
If my father asked me again, country or beauty, choose one. His answer would still be: beauty, scenery, clothes and appearance.
