Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

Although Liu Rusi firmly refused to let Qin Hao change his surname to Chu, and her words were reasonable.

But how could the emperor change his decision so easily? Looking down at the mother and son kneeling on the ground, the emperor said coldly: "The only child of the Qin family? Yu'er still has no children!"

"For ordinary people, having no children affects the whole family, but Yu'er was born into the royal family and has the potential to take over the throne! Having no children will cause instability among the people and even unrest in the country! Can you tell which is more important?!"

Liu Rusi couldn't help but laugh at herself when faced with the righteousness of the matter. She really didn't care about anything that didn't concern her. But when it came to her, she realized that selfishness was human nature...

Of course, she couldn't disobey the emperor. Liu Rusi whispered softly, "Your Highness Prince Duan is in his prime, and he will definitely have children in the future... and the royal family is strong and has a bloodline. I'm afraid that an adopted child will not be able to... win the hearts of the people..."

The Ruifeng eyes with fine lines narrowed. This Liu was really quick-witted. She actually thought of the basis of his plan!

The emperor's tone became calmer, as if he had compromised, "Yu'er is now stubborn and will not want other women. You are not young anymore, and there is no guarantee that he will have descendants. I just want to take precautions..."

"How about this, the change of surname does not need to be recorded in the family tree, just change it verbally. If Yu'er has a son in the future, let Qin Hao return to the clan."

Liu Rusi thought this concession was reasonable, but she was still unwilling to do so. What she really cared about was not the clan... After all, if you counted it, Qin Lie's grandfather changed his name...

In a flash, Liu Rusi suddenly had a thought: Is it really just that the emperor wanted Chu Shiyu to have a successor?

Chu Shiyu's age was indeed late for marriage in Daxia, but he was only 22 years old! It was not uncommon for men in their 50s and 60s to have children in their old age. Was he worried about not having any descendants?

The emperor is busy with all kinds of affairs every day, so why would he waste his precious time and words with them over such an uncertain worry?

After thinking it over quickly, Liu Rusi seemed to give in and compromised softly, "I and His Royal Highness Prince Duan have not even started yet... Regarding the matter of changing the surname..."

"If I am lucky enough to be married, and Your Highness is still childless after seven years, for the sake of the Great Xia, I am willing to bear the infamy of being ungrateful..."

The tone of voice, as thin as a mosquito's, and unwillingly expressed that Liu had already retreated to the limit.

If it is really for the continuation of the incense, the arrangement proposed by Liu is the best choice... but this is not the emperor's intention!

The emperor glanced at the time. Although Liu was a little difficult to deal with, considering Da Xia's long-term plan, it was worth spending some time on her.

"I said before, it's not just about being an heir, your identity will easily cause Yu'er to be criticized."

The emperor sighed and said, "Yuer also understands that people are talking about this, and is doing his best to prevent this matter. He probably doesn't want to embarrass you, so he didn't ask you."

Liu Rusi paused. She didn't know what the emperor was talking about and was full of confusion for a moment.

"Yu'er had people spread rumors among the people, trying to make them believe that Qin Hao was his long-lost son."

The emperor looked at the child with regret. "This kid is so smart, and his temperament is somewhat similar to Yu'er. I have also wondered if this is true."

Liu Rusi was shocked. She seldom went out and even less often heard gossip. Although she knew that Chu Shiyu intentionally pretended to care about Qin Hao, she never expected that Chu Shiyu would intentionally let people misunderstand such a thing!

The emperor looked at Liu Rusi again and said sternly, "What Chu Shiyu couldn't bear to say, I will make the decision for him and make it true!"

"No matter what his background is, once he returns, he will change his surname to Chu. In the eyes of the world, this will naturally be a return to his roots. And your status as a widow will become a good story of reunion. As for the minor details of your family background, they are naturally insignificant with a son by your side."

Liu Rusi was speechless for a long while. If she only considered her future with Chu Shiyu, it would be wonderful...

Three people make a tiger, and then the cat replaces the prince, and all obstacles will fall apart...

Her eyes were a little dazed. She wondered if Qin Lie could see it in the dark. If he knew that others wanted to take Qin Hao for themselves, would he still be happy?

It shouldn't be the case. Qin Lie cares so much about his family, how could he be willing to let his child compromise?

“If you call a deer a horse, even if everyone in the world changes their name to horse, they will still recognize that a deer is a horse, and it will not change the fact that a deer has a deer body and sheds deer blood.”

Liu Rusi looked at the emperor with a firm gaze and said solemnly, "In life, the most important thing is to know yourself and stick to your own will!"

"Qin Hao is Qin Hao. He was born into the Qin family, a farming family, not the royal Chu family! It is extremely honorable to have the royal surname, but others' misunderstanding of his life experience may make him lose his mind and give rise to unnecessary delusions!"

"Please forgive me, I cannot watch my child go astray!"

Liu suddenly dared to look him in the face without hesitation, which made the emperor slightly angry, but more shocked!

The concerns that Liu mentioned were exactly what the emperor was planning!

Looking down and looking up are opposite.

Liu Rusi's terrifying guess was confirmed by the emperor's slight eye fluctuation!

The emperor wants to drag Qin Hao into the future Colosseum! Repeat Chu Shiyu's suffering again!

No, it's even worse! The emperor doesn't want Qin Hao to become a sword! Qin Hao will only become a whetstone for sharpening his grandchildren's knives!

No wonder he took a step back and said that Qin Hao could be excluded from the family tree. I'm afraid the emperor didn't want Qin Hao to be included in the family tree at all!

No wonder they didn't directly issue an order to change the surname! They just didn't want to explicitly confirm Qin Hao as the emperor's grandson! They were afraid that people would think that they had spontaneously asked for the imperial surname by currying favor with the powerful!

Under such circumstances, what would it matter if Qin Hao changed his surname?

No matter how talented he is, he is not of the Chu family bloodline, and the ministers in the court will not believe the rumors! Qin Hao can never be justified, this is a natural, fatal disadvantage!

And because Qin Hao is smart enough, he will not be defeated easily! The emperor's grandsons must compete with all their strength, constantly becoming stronger in the competition until they defeat Qin Hao! So it is a stone with a wonderful effect!

And all he needs to do to achieve all this is to change his last name, giving Qin Hao specious qualifications and stirring up Qin Hao's ambitions!

Qin Hao doesn't even need to be ambitious!

As long as Qin Hao has the specious qualifications, there will naturally be people waiting in awe and taking the initiative! Qin Hao can only keep fighting back if he wants to protect himself, and is forced to get involved in the struggle!

Creepy!

Unlike the emperor's habit of hiding his emotions.

Liu Rusi did not hide anything. The emperor was good at reading people's minds, and she didn't want to do useless work. Moreover, she needed to protect Qin Hao's future with a firm attitude!

The woman kneeling on the ground had a very complicated expression. The emperor could see fear in her eyes, but her refusal was more determined, and there was even inexplicable pity...but there was actually a little respect, not hostility?

The emperor didn't care about her inner thoughts. He continued with what he said before, saying more bluntly: "I don't need the deer to shed horse blood. Changing the name will benefit the prosperity of Daxia. Calling a deer a horse is the right way."

This is exactly what makes Chu Shiyu and now Liu Rusi so disgusted...

The emperor is cruel and merciless, and he uses whatever means he can to achieve his goal, but what he seeks is always the unimpeachable justice of the world. Now, he is even more thoughtful and far-sighted for the sake of the country's long-term plan...

At this moment today, if Chu Shiyu had not talked to her about the past, Liu Rusi's vision would still be as short-sighted as before, and she would never have been able to guess these things!

If not, her obsession with Qin Lie was deep-rooted, perhaps Qin Hao would fall into an endless vortex...

Liu Rusi gave up the idea. Chu Shiyu's stubborn character probably came from the emperor, and she already knew how difficult it was to persuade Chu Shiyu.

The goal pursued by the emperor was too ambitious, and it was also the basis of his indestructible will. Unless that goal was achieved, it would be impossible to dissuade the emperor from pursuing his goal.

"Your Majesty, people like you who are selfless are rare in this world. It's hard to find one in a hundred or a thousand years. You can't force it. It's the norm for people to be selfish."

These were flattering words again, and the woman's face was full of sincerity.

Liu Rusi faced the questioning gaze and said solemnly, "I know a little bit about justice, but I can't let go of my selfishness. As a parent, the biggest selfishness is often the children."

“Respect the old as well as the old of others, love the young as well as the young of others, start from the small family, use selfishness to help others, and other principles will also unfold from this…”

Liu Rusi paused for a moment, then mustered up the courage to say, "That's how we got to the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues today."

The wrinkled Ruifeng eyes suddenly became sharp! The eyes were like a terrifying blade!

Liu Rusi couldn't help but think wildly. She had never seen Chu Shiyu's cold eyes before. Maybe it was like this too. So scary...

Liu Rusi resisted her fear through association and continued calmly, "Filial piety is almost the foundation of the world. There are many books by sages in the world that instruct people to respect their parents."

"However, there are few books that advise parents to love their children. At most, they teach parents how to raise their children well."

Liu Rusi was a little dazed as she spoke, and murmured, "Because it is natural for parents to love their children... Not just humans, even birds, cattle and sheep will do their best to protect their bloodline."

"If someone doesn't even love his own children, then there is no point in talking to him. And there are very few people like him."

Liu Rusi looked into those aging eyes which were becoming more angry with sincere sincerity and pain from the bottom of her heart.

"The beloved son of his parents has far-reaching plans."

The emperor could naturally see the deep meaning in Liu's eyes. After a moment's thought, the anger in his eyes could not help but stagnate...

If you love your sons, you will make long-term plans for them. He made many plans for his sons, but in the final analysis, it was all for Da Xia... In other words, he regarded Da Xia as his own child?

Liu Rusi said again: "It is rare to find someone who can put the world above everything else like you, the emperor. I think even His Royal Highness Prince Duan...can't do it wholeheartedly. Only Da Xia can do it."

The emperor lowered his eyes and thought of what Chu Shiyu had said to his elder sister, 'Whether it's for the country or the people, or being obsessed with one person, it's all about love.'

Maybe it's not that he is cold-hearted, but maybe he just placed his emotions on Daxia?

However, when he raised his eyes, the emperor looked at Liu coldly again, but Chu Shiyu actually placed his emotions on a woman! Even if he had been humiliated and received kindness from this woman, it was too absurd to fall to such a point!

Liu Rusi knew that the emperor would not be easily persuaded, but she never expected that the emperor would suddenly reveal murderous intent!

She really retreated for a moment! The premise of all gains and losses and calculations is to stay alive! If she angered the emperor, she and Qin Hao might not be able to save their lives!

But, if she had compromised not long ago just out of her obsession with Qin Lie, she could have endured her unwillingness for the sake of her son's life...

She looked into her son's big eyes, those innocent eyes were looking at her quietly, without any doubt, just full of trust.

She couldn't let Qin Hao become the emperor's whetstone!

King Kang was born as the eldest son but was not made the crown prince. He didn't understand what he was missing, so he could only imitate his father's words and deeds, eager to be recognized by the emperor! His attitude towards those beauties is probably a corner of his twisted psychology! Love and resentment!

Chu Shiyu was stripped of his "flesh and blood" and was indifferent to everything and everyone. He competed according to the emperor's will! Until he met her, he suddenly fell in love and decided to break away from the emperor's arrangement! But Liu Rusi could see that Chu Shiyu still couldn't change his indifference outside of her influence!

The other princes probably have all kinds of mental problems as well!

What would Qin Hao's future be like if he became an imperial grandson in name only according to the emperor's wishes?

Qin Hao must be feeling guilty, right? Self-doubt, self-denial... Life without self is too painful! Is a life of struggling in the quagmire of pain really worth it?

Qin Hao is so smart that he will definitely analyze the meaning of life. He will ask again and again, why is his fate determined when he is still unable to choose? !

Childhood experiences are deeply rooted! Even if Liu Rusi is reborn, she can't let go of the hatred in her heart!

Even if there was a common reason, she could accept her parents' cruel abandonment... Even if they favored boys over girls, she could at least tell herself that they were dominated by feudal ideas...

But she couldn't accept it! They actually thought that she was the one who destroyed their love and hated her from the bottom of their hearts! It was as if her birth was a sin! But giving birth to her was clearly their own choice!

They are the parents who gave her flesh and blood, she was just born...

"As parents, we should love our children."

Liu Rusi smiled and said, "As a woman, I have brought a child into the world, so I have the responsibility to guide the child and protect him through his still weak life."

“There is no way to have the best of both worlds… But when it comes to things that are hard to choose, rather than choosing, we should seek a way to have the best of both worlds.”

"National justice and caring for children are both the right thing to do. I will not sacrifice one for the other."

"The origin of this matter is that Your Highness Prince Duan has made a mistake in loving me. How about this? I am willing to shave my head and become a nun to show my determination. I ask Your Highness to marry another good wife. Your Highness should be able to compromise and will not blame you."

The emperor paused. Liu's words were high-sounding, but her eyes and tone showed that if she had to make a choice, she would try her best to get rid of Chu Shiyu! If he removed the firewood from under the cauldron, his plot would not succeed!

Chu Tianming couldn't help but feel angry. Is Chu Shiyu so unimportant?

Then he thought about it seriously. It was true that he wanted to kill Liu, but it was more of a threat. Liu was frightened but still stubborn and it seemed that she would not compromise.

The emperor cannot kill Liu before regaining control of Chu Shiyu. He also cannot predict how Chu Shiyu will react when he learns that Liu is in trouble.

"Since you can't make a choice, I won't force you." The emperor seemed to give in again.

"Just as you thought before, you can consider it after you enter Prince Duan's mansion. However, seven years is too long. If Yu'er still doesn't have a child in three years, then this kid must change his surname."
