Xie Yuantang was stunned.

Are you going to talk to her about love?

Could it be that in Situ Qing's eyes, the nine-year-old girl looked like she understood a lot?

As they walked, Situ Qing sat down in the pavilion.

Of course, he wouldn't say anything. He just felt very anxious. "I thought she was willing to enter the palace because of me, but now I suddenly realize that maybe she had other plans. I doted on her and loved her all those years, but in the end I found that she never opened her heart to me."

Xie Yuantang blinked, pretended to think for a long time, then touched his chin and said:

"Father, I don't think it matters whether they are close or not. She has already given you her body!"

Situ Qing: “…”

The sentimental atmosphere was instantly destroyed by the word "intercourse".

Situ Qing glared at Xie Yuantang unhappily: "Who taught you this nonsense?"

Xie Yuantang smiled and sat next to him and said, "Father, I don't know what my mother-in-law thinks, and no one else will know, but I think this matter can be compared, and there is a good example right now!"

"What example?"

"Father, you and Concubine Li."

Xie Yuantang said slowly: "Father, you always say that you dote on my mother-in-law, but that is a thing of the past. Among the ladies in the palace today, everyone says that you dote on Concubine Li the most. As far as I know, you also slept with Concubine Li more often in Zhongli Palace..."

"Cough cough!"

Situ Qing interrupted her in time and said lightly, "That's unruly."

Xie Yuantang was not afraid of him, and continued to reason with him: "Then let me ask you, Father, do you love Concubine Li? Do you like her as much as you like my mother-in-law?"

Situ Qing was stunned.

Except for Yan Yilan, he had long since acquiesced that the other women in his life were merely his "concubines". He had never thought about whether he loved them or not, and he would never pour such love on anyone.

Xie Yuantang said: "Even if you don't love her that much, I am sure that in your heart, Concubine Li definitely occupies a place. Just based on this place, who can deny that you don't care about her?"

Situ Qing was silent for a moment, then said in a cold voice: "You mean, how much I care about Concubine Li, Lan'er cares about me as much? But I am the emperor, I want all her thoughts!"

Xie Yuantang pursed his lips and muttered softly: "That is indeed a bit embarrassing. Jiayan looks like that, no one can forget her."

Situ Qing: “…”

Seeing that the emperor was angry again, Xie Yuantang immediately said, "Father, I really don't understand what you are talking about, but I think Concubine Li must understand. If you don't believe me, why don't you go to Zhongli Palace and ask her?"

Situ Qing laughed angrily: "So after all this talk, you are acting as a lobbyist for Concubine Li."

Xie Yuantang patted his arm and said, "I'm not lobbying for anyone. I just want you to be happier. You feel lonely here. Why don't you go to Zhongli Palace to warm up? The old friend has passed away. Father, don't wait until the person who is willing to wait for you becomes cold-hearted."

Situ Qing paused, the charming appearance of Concubine Li appeared in front of him, and he said nothing.

Xie Yuantang hesitated for a moment, wanting to try again to mention Wuchen, so he said, "Father, my second brother's marriage..."

"Ok?"

Situ Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You also think that half a month is still too late, right? I think so too. After all, your health cannot afford to delay."

Xie Yuantang: "Ah no, I'm not..."

Situ Qing: "I have asked someone to pick an auspicious day today. We can hold the wedding in seven days."

Xie Yuantang froze and looked at him in disbelief: "Seven days later?"

"correct."

Situ Qing said: "Although Princess Jasmine is a little wronged, who made Pei Weizhan behave like a bad person? He Cang Que lied to me first, so there is nothing wrong with me doing this."

"Besides, Ran'er's wedding has been in preparation. It's a bit hasty... naturally, it's a bit hasty, but compared to you being able to attend his wedding, this is the most important thing."

Xie Yuantang's expression was about to crack: "Father, well... have you asked Second Brother what he thinks? What if he doesn't want to get married so soon?"

"Do not worry."

Situ Qing smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I asked him this morning. Ran Er was more anxious than anyone else and had no opinion at all."

Xie Yuantang: “…”

She said with a stiff upper lip: "Father, why don't you think about it again? Or why don't you just wait until I recover from my illness and come back from Cangque before letting them get married?"

Situ Qing disagreed and said, "How can this be possible? The marriage should be arranged sooner rather than later. Besides, it's time for a happy event. It's settled!"

Xie Yuantang: “…”

How did you feel about going to the palace and not postponing the wedding date but instead successfully moving it forward to seven days later?

Xie Yuantang: What a rotten mouth she has! Why is she talking about marriage for no reason?

Xie Yuantang entered the palace with a smile and left with a sigh.

Situ Qing looked at his daughter-in-law's back and nodded with satisfaction: "She knows how to worry about me, and she also knows how to worry about her second brother's marriage. Yuan Tang is really a good child."

Qu Pei was puzzled. Why did it seem to him that the little imperial concubine didn't mean that?

Looking at the emperor's pleased expression, Qu Pei held back and said nothing.

Never mind, let the emperor take it as it is.

-

That night, Situ Qing still went to Zhongli Palace.

Concubine Li was so happy that her eyes turned red. As soon as she finished her dinner, she hurriedly drove out Situ Feng and Situ Xu who were in the way.

"Your Majesty, you haven't come for a long time. I thought you would never come to see me again~"

Concubine Li leaned delicately in front of Situ Qing, her face as rosy as a peach blossom adding a touch of beauty and charm under the candlelight.

Situ Qing was moved, and held her hand and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Then, the red curtain fell, and the old couple began to be affectionate with each other.

After the matter was done, Concubine Li rested her head weakly on Situ Qing's arm and said, "Your Majesty, if you have something to say, you can talk to me. Don't keep it in your heart. What if you get sick?"

Situ Qing was silent for a moment, thinking of Xie Yuantang's words, and asked her: "I have never asked you, in these years... have you ever blamed me?"

Concubine Li was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him: "Why would the emperor ask this? You are so good to me, why should I blame you?"

"Am I good to you?"

Situ Qing himself didn't think he was very good to Concubine Li: "I... have only had Lan'er in my heart these years, ignoring the people around me, and causing you to suffer a lot of grievances."

Hearing this, Concubine Li was startled at first, then she smiled and said softly: "Your Majesty, I have never felt wronged. I know that my appearance and knowledge are not as good as Concubine Lan. It is normal for you to like her. If I were a man, I would like her too."
