The emphasis on offspring is rooted deep in the soul. Human beings, like animals, have an instinct to reproduce and pass on.
Because there is a throne in the family, and the position of an undemoted prince needs to be inherited, Qin Shouan naturally hopes to have a son.
In fact, like most people of this era, he was a bit patriarchal.
But it's not that strong, and he doesn't mean that he will treat his son and daughter differently in terms of love and affection. It's just that having a son has completed a major task.
This is a very urgent need. If Qin Heng passes the throne to him, he cannot let the Langya Palace end in his hands, and he must pass it on.
It's not that only a son can make him feel the joy of having children... Simply speaking from the joy of being a father, he might still like his daughter a little bit.
Because based on the looks of him and his daughter’s mother, the daughter may be so beautiful and cute that people will be fascinated by it, but as for the son, can he still be more handsome than his father? Can I make him wonder why my son is so handsome?
"Master Tai, don't worry. I only want a son and not a daughter... The mountain master worked hard to give birth to a child. I don't know what arrangements she will make next, but I will respect all her ideas." Qin Shouan said rationally and calmly Considering:
"I talked to the mountain master last time, and she analyzed that the reward given to me by the Queen Mother was not based on the consideration of the upcoming marriage. But as a prince, I am 100% planning to marry in the palace... Master, what do you mean, Queen Mother? Is it possible for the empress to allow me to marry the mountain master?"
Master Yu Tuan nodded while listening to him. His heart was as gentle and gentle as his appearance, and he was not unhappy because of the birth of a daughter... You must know that lords and princes often desire heirs more than anything else, and he seemed to Not even a little bit disappointed.
But what he said next made Master Yutuan laugh a little and feel a little relieved... He had finally considered this matter. If the Queen Mother was not limited by her status, it could be said that she had found a man worth entrusting her to for the rest of her life.
He is always better than the late emperor... Master Yutuan still remembers the night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber of the Queen Mother. Under the repeated instructions of the master and senior sister, the four sisters escorted the late emperor into the bridal chamber vigilantly and carefully, and happily took the place of the queen mother. happy.
The four sisters were still young at that time, and they just thought that after entering the bridal chamber, the husband and wife should sleep together in the same bed. Who knew that the late emperor was so cunning and presumptuous that he used the drug given by Qin Heng to stupefy the Queen Mother.
"The Queen Mother may not allow it. She and the mountain master are sisters, and she cannot accept it if she sees her best friend suddenly becoming her nephew-in-law." Master Yu thought for a while and could only give up. He thought:
"The master himself could not overcome the hurdle in his heart. She was highly respected and famous in the world, and had shocked the world for decades. Suddenly she entered the palace and became a princess wearing Zhai clothes and a phoenix crown, and she became the Grand Master's concubine. At that time, her husband was not yet born, and there is such a big age difference. If word spreads about it, the whole world will talk about it up and down the Riyue Mountain."
All Master Yu Tuan could say was this. She could not say that the Queen Mother married a prince and she became her niece-in-law. In history, similar situations only appeared in barbarian countries, evil spirits harmed the country, and the collapse of rituals and music dynasty.
If this thing really happens, it will be like openly trampling on the face of the New Qin Empire, which will cause an uproar in the government and the public, and there is a possibility of death remonstrances. Recording such a scandal in the history books, I am afraid that the ancestors of the Qin family will all He wants to jump out of his ancestral grave, dragging his bones with him, but he still wants to curse these unworthy descendants.
As for the Queen Mother not wanting to break off this relationship in the future, and Her Highness still being in love after discovering the truth, that's okay... as long as she doesn't openly trample on etiquette and laws.
After all, there is nothing new about sneaking under the water. There have been ten times and a hundred times more absurd and messy things in the past dynasties.
"In what year was the mountain master born?" Teacher Yu Tuan was too old for "decades", and Qin Shou'an suddenly realized this problem. The age gap between him and the mountain master seemed to be far greater than the gap between him and Tang Wanrong.
Before he met the mountain master, a title like the mountain master of Riyue Mountain was considered a "famous person" in the world. What's more, Yu Tuanshitai just used the word "high moral character and high prestige". What age group does this belong to? No need to say more, right?
But after meeting the mountain master, she had a plump body, delicate skin like a twenty-eight-year-old girl, and her eyes were full of spring water. When she hugged her, she felt that her whole body was on fire. How could she think about age?
"Your Highness, how can you ask a woman's age at will?" Master Yu couldn't help but said angrily:
"Even our senior sisters are much older than His Highness. Has Your Highness now begun to dislike her after seeing her, kissing her, and hugging her?"
Tuanshi Yu leaned over slightly, and her plump fall made the ups and downs appear more rippling. Her whole body seemed like a continuous mountain as the horse leaped, full of peace.
A coquettish and shy expression suddenly appeared on his upright and elegant face, like a Bodhisattva who saves all sentient beings, which immediately made Qin Shouan feel a little excited.
He thought of the nights a few days ago, when the four masters tried their best to assist the mountain master. Even though there were many people at the time, who could forget the "group"?
"No...that's not what I meant." Qin Shou'an apologized quickly, "Please forgive me, Master. Hey, as a prince, I really can't help myself as to who I can marry as my princess. Whether it's the appearance, deportment, or moral character of the mountain master, , they are all the favorites of this king, and I think they are a good match...hey..."
Qin Shou'an sighed. In fact, he really didn't mind the age gap... A woman like the Mountain Master was like a goddess descending to earth.
He had often thought of the mountain master in the past few days. If he hadn't been well-informed, a man of his age who was a little more immature would have gone crazy over it.
As for the "talking" that Master Yu Tuan mentioned in the arena, she actually meant it to be implicit and obscene, referring to "jokes".
Does Qin Shouan care? That's a joke. He is the prince of Jiuzhou Mansion. What's wrong with him marrying the head of a large sect?
Who dares to joke that being a Fenglei Guard is just a decoration? When the time comes, Qin Shou'an will make a rumor, hunt down a group of those who are too presumptuous, and then marry some mature and beautiful women with good looks from various major sects, especially those saints who have been immersed in cultivation for many years and are not yet married. , elders, senior sisters, etc., let’s see how you laugh in the future!
The problem now is that the palace will probably not agree to it... However, Qin Shou'an has to try to find out what's going on. Qin Shou'an thought about it and decided to find a time to talk to the Queen Mother in person, or send a letter or write a note to hand. past.
It is conceivable that the Queen Mother will be furious at that time, but for the important event of his life, how can Qin Shouan not even have this courage?
Even though he knew it was useless, for the sake of the mountain master, he was willing to contradict that old lady Rong Yue Rabbit.
What if Rong Yue Rabbit is feeling sad and can her good sisters be considerate? The chance of this is very small, but Qin Shou'an recalled Rong Yue Rabbit in the dream and felt that she couldn't make common sense. Maybe her brain exploded for a moment and she agreed?
"Your Highness, it's good that you have this intention. Life is long and love lasts forever. If it doesn't last forever, then savor every moment carefully. On the contrary, it will make people feel more complete than those days when we spend a lifetime together but always feel like chewing wax. No regrets." Tuanshi Yu said softly.
She could see the longing and firm longing in his eyes, and knew that he definitely had no intention of giving up, and would probably try to do something. She couldn't help but feel something in her heart. He was obviously a very gentle man, but he would do things in his heart that he knew he couldn't do. Action, how could a woman not love him?
I wish the Queen Mother and Her Highness the Prince a happy marriage and a long life together... Master Yu Tuan also knew it was impossible, but still wanted to wish them well.
"Master Tai's words make sense." Qin Shou'an smiled slightly. What Master Yu Tuan said made sense, but he was not someone who changed his mind easily.
Putting it down for now, the current focus is to see that their mother and daughter are safe... So Qin Shou'an chatted with Master Yutuan about what it was like to raise a daughter, listening to Qin Shou'an's imagination and some expectations With these words, Master Yu Tuan shed a clear laughter that was like the tinkling of bells.
It seems that His Highness really likes his daughter, and is not helplessly accepting the reality... Master Yutuan has a relaxed smile on his face, but His Highness seems a bit naive. Are all daughters well-behaved and cute?
Look at the two concubines now in our Langya Palace.
Of course, you can't say such offensive words. Master Yu Tuan's mission is to pick up King Langya to Ji Jingzhao Jian'an, but you can't let him turn around and run back.
It was already dark.
When Mrs. Yu Tuan arrived, there was already a beacon signal, and there would be important operations passing by at night. Bonfires on the official roads were lit at the inns along the way to ensure that the roads were as bright and safe as daytime.
The two of them were chatting and laughing all the way. Halfway through the journey, Master Yu Tuan stopped next to a post station and was about to change horses midway.
At this time, many Jianghu people were already resting in the tea pavilion next to the inn.
Xin Qin's post stations were mainly used to deliver official documents and military intelligence, or to provide food, shelter, and exchange of horses for the various people who came and went on orders from officials. Even the family members of the officials were not received and did not carry them with them. Some seals, identity certificates and companions cannot use the inn.
Nowadays, commerce is prosperous and there are a large number of people traveling from place to place. The inn has gradually opened up part of the area, known as the "tea pavilion", to provide a place to protect people passing by from the wind and rain.
If you are not particular about it, you can even rent a blanket from the inn, wrap it up and spend the night in the tea pavilion.
Seeing a woman dressed as a monk approaching, everyone immediately stared at her intently. After all, the prostitutes who live in the inn to entertain officials are somewhat out of reach, but the woman in front of them is already fragrant.

Today I updated an extra chapter of an old book, just to give back to old readers during the Dragon Boat Festival. The result...
Well, in short, it’s not a matter of not being able to write the new book. Based on the poor feedback, I won’t touch the extra chapters of the old book until the new book is finished.
I’ll write the extras for the new book first…
