No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Power and love, which one to choose?

For a moment, the Fourth Master's brain turned into paste, so sticky that it couldn't be mixed.

Choosing Cha Cha as his wife is what he urgently hopes for now.

However, being crowned a prince has always been his goal.

Anyone faced with such a choice would hesitate.

But the Fourth Master spoke faster than his brain: "Your son chooses the first one!"

"Please grant me your blessing, Emperor Father!"

Emperor Kangxi was shocked by his decision and softened himself for once: "Fourth Brother, think about it again. I'll give you three days."

The Fourth Master refused without hesitation: "Please, Father Emperor, please help me write it down now!"

His eyes were firm, but his mind was in turmoil.

He wants both Chacha and power, neither of them can be missing!

But what is a prince?

This little bit of power is worthless compared to the highest position in the world.

Fu Jin's somewhat crazy words kept lingering in his ears, but he had never been shaken by them before.

But today, he developed an infinite yearning for this supreme power.

The person sitting above is his biological father, and he doesn't even consider his son's feelings.

If the person who wants to sit becomes the elder brother, how will he be treated?

It would be better for him to sit on it himself, then no one can control his life.

Emperor Kangxi was bound by his words and did not say anything to disagree.

The Fourth Master watched Emperor Kangxi write the four words "Niuhulu". This step back was actually a big step forward in his heart.

After Emperor Kangxi finished writing, he looked at his cold-faced son again and felt a sense of strangeness.

He sighed and said, "Since you have chosen once, let Niuhulu choose once as well."

"She chose you so as not to let down your deep affection."

After all, I love my son more. The person he falls in love with should be worthy of him.

The Fourth Master raised his head abruptly: Are you being so self-righteous and nice to him again?!

He clenched his teeth tightly, locking all his anger in his mouth, chewing it into pieces and swallowing it.

This is imperial power. Just one word can make people fall from heaven to earth.

Although he was not worried about Cha Cha's choice, the feeling of being manipulated by others made him upset.

Of course, Emperor Kangxi would not leave the palace casually, but it was okay for the Fourth Master to take Liang Jiugong back.

Arriving at the mansion, Liang Jiugong bent over and said, "Fourth Master, please step aside. Your Majesty wants the concubine to choose for herself."

This avoidance certainly does not mean not going, but simply not letting Lin Mingyan know.

So he could only stand outside and listen.

Lin Mingyan was confused when she received the news. Liang Jiugong said that the Fourth Master was detained by Emperor Kangxi, and there were two imperial edicts for her to choose from.

One was the imperial edict conferring her title, and the other was the imperial edict conferring the title of Prince on the Fourth Master.

"Let me choose?" Lin Mingyan knelt on the ground, with a thousand horses galloping in her heart.

Emperor Kangxi is such a grown-up, is he still a childish guy?

Not to mention that she has Fourth Master in her heart, even if she doesn't, she can only choose the one that is beneficial to Fourth Master, right?

No matter who is given this imperial edict, the second one will definitely be chosen.

Is it fun to do this?

Liang Jiugong came closer and said, "Not only do you have to choose for yourself, you also have to choose the one chosen by the Fourth Master."

"If you choose the right one, everything will be fine. If you choose the wrong one..."

This is what Emperor Kangxi ultimately wanted to see.

Aren't you in love?

Is trust really as strong as a rock?

Lin Mingyan was stunned for a moment. She was indeed not sure whether the Fourth Master would choose her between power and love.

This is not a distrust of the Fourth Master, but a distrust of all imperial power in history.

She closed her eyes and her hands trembled slightly.

Liang Jiugong said that he had made the right choice and was following the Fourth Master's wishes.

If she chooses the wrong one, she will have neither, and she may even lose her current position.

Lin Mingyan doesn’t care much about status, but what about the children?

Lin Mingyan's hands were shaking. This choice concerned the fate of the Fourth Master, her, and their seven children.

She didn't know how to choose, nor did she know whether she should resist the Fourth Master's affection.

Can she compare to a prince?

The Fourth Master stood in the corner outside, staring at her without blinking. He showed no dissatisfaction with her hesitation, only heartache.

One day, one day... he would tell her that she no longer had to make such a choice.

Lin Mingyan didn't struggle for long, and finally she chose to believe in the wisdom of the Fourth Master.

In history, the Fourth Master, who had always been able to play the role of a good younger brother in the early stages, would never involve himself in the fight for the throne too early.

Moreover, she also wanted to believe that the current young man's power and status were not as great as hers!

"I choose the second one, I guess you chose the first one," she heard her calm voice and answered the question firmly.

After saying this, she held her breath, as if waiting for the verdict.

The Fourth Master was the first to breathe a sigh of relief outside. His empty heart seemed to be filled with something warm in an instant, making it feel sore and swollen.

Liang Jiugong immediately smiled and respectfully handed the first imperial edict to the Fourth Master who strode into the room.

"Congratulations, Fourth Master, you've got what you wanted," Liang Jiugong bent even lower.

Even though he is not a man, he can't help but feel a little envious.

It is indeed enviable for a person to meet such a wife in his life.

He couldn't help but wonder whether he should also go and see the wives and concubines that his apprentice had arranged for him outside.

What if there is good luck?

The Fourth Master suppressed his anger, pulled Lin Mingyan to kneel down, took the imperial edict, and kowtowed three times respectfully.

Liang Jiugong and others walked very quickly, as if they had only come to the Fourth Master's mansion to convey an imperial edict.

The content of this imperial edict spread quickly. Without anyone else saying anything, the Prince of Zhi smashed the teacup in his hand.

"Why?! Why?!" He was furious.

The emperor and his mother put pressure on him, so he had no choice but to compromise.

But on this day of compromise, I witnessed others getting what they wanted!

Two imperial edicts, with completely different contents.

Your Majesty, you are so biased!

He completely forgot that none of this was easily achieved by the Fourth Master. At least he couldn't stand outside the Qianqing Palace for three hours.

However, the Fourth Master was not happy even though he got what he wanted. He hugged Lin Mingyan and comforted her helplessly: "Don't be afraid anymore, don't be afraid anymore..." Of course Lin Mingyan was afraid.

If you make the wrong choice, you will be doomed.

She was holding on just now, so she didn't collapse to the ground.

I have been in this era for so many years. I didn’t have any contact with it at the beginning, but I have been well protected by the Fourth Master in recent years.

She had forgotten that this was a dark feudal era where power could determine life and death.

No matter how outstanding you are as an individual, as long as you don't have power, you are just a straw dog at the mercy of others.

"Master, you must work hard." Lin Mingyan looked up at the Fourth Master and said very seriously.

We must work hard to climb up and gain the highest voice!
