"Does Your Majesty mean to wait until the eldest princess gets married before passing on the throne to her?" Cui Yu frowned and said.
"I have this consideration in mind. Although I have devoted myself to mystical cultivation in recent years, I am exhausted both mentally and physically and feel helpless." Pei Shidao said in a sad voice.
"The way of heaven is about to change, and the fate of the Daqian Dynasty is a big mountain for Your Majesty." Cui Yu nodded slightly.
"Qiu Ning is my favorite daughter. In the future, the entire world will rest on her shoulders. The road of being an emperor is the loneliest, so I want Qiu Ning to find someone who can stay with her all the time." Pei Shidao looked at her at this time. Inexplicably, he said slowly.
"Then does your Majesty have any candidates for the eldest princess's consort?" Cui Yu then asked.
"I will mention this to Qiu Ning later to see if she wants me to find a husband for her, or if she wants to find one by herself." Pei Shidao picked up the tea beside him and took a sip.
"What if the husband the eldest princess finds is a commoner?" Cui Yufuxu said with a smile.
Pei Shidao's face suddenly fell down when he heard this. He looked at Cui Yu at this moment, and his voice was extremely uneasy: "Qiu Ning has a very high vision, how can she like a commoner?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"I also think it's unlikely." Cui Yu nodded slightly at this time, and he also believed it.
...
At this time, a stunningly beautiful silhouette came to Xiyuan.
After Pei Qiuning bowed slightly to Pei Shidao, she sat in front of him.
"Why did my father call me here?" Pei Qiuning said softly.
"Not long ago, I felt that I had more than enough ambition but not enough power. Da Qian Guozuo needed someone to take over."
"I realize that Qiu Ning, you are not young now, and you need to find someone who can accompany you." Pei Shidao stood up and poured a cup of fragrant tea for Pei Qiuning in a rare moment, his voice was gentle. road.
At this time, Pei Shidao changed his Taoist robe into ordinary clothes for the first time. This habit of his only appeared when he met the current queens Lu Chang and Pei Qiuning.
For Pei Shidao, his favorite was Pei Qiuning, the direct princess. As for the current prince Pei Zhong, Pei Shidao just behaved mediocrely and didn't care too much about him.
One is that his talent is mediocre, the other is that his talents are lacking, and the third is that he is not a direct descendant.
Because Lu Chang only had one daughter, Pei Qiuning, Pei Shidao had to select Pei Zhong, the oldest among the concubine princes, as the crown prince.
"Is there any extraordinary talent that would impress you, my father? That's why I'm specifically talking about this today." Pei Qiuning frowned upon hearing this, and then said softly.
Pei Qiuning did not expect Pei Shidao to say this now, and she instinctively wanted to reject it out loud.
But then Pei Qiuning thought of Jiang Yan, who had not yet completely determined his identity, and felt that there was still room for change in this matter.
"No, it's just that Qiu Ning was involved in my previous chat with the chess master, so your marriage was brought up by me. I'm calling you here now because I want to see your opinion on this matter."
"Qiu Ning, you want me to find you a husband."
"Or do you want to find a husband by yourself?" At this time, Pei Shidao showed a long-lost smile.
"I'll do this myself, so I don't have to worry about my father." Pei Qiuning shook her head and said slowly.
"Does Qiu Ning have someone she likes now?" Pei Shidao was very curious at this time.
"Of course." Pei Qiuning smiled at this moment. She thought of her little words and her whole body relaxed instantly.
When Pei Shidao saw the scene in front of him, his curiosity suddenly burst out of him. He must know that his precious daughter usually looked cold and lonely, and kept away from strangers.
So who does she like?
To be honest, as a father, I am very curious.
"Does the father know?" Pei Shidao was a little excited at this time, as if he couldn't find melons in the melon field.
"If things go well, my father will know about it soon." Pei Qiuning did not reveal too much information and said vaguely.
"It's certainly a good thing that you can find someone you like, Qiu Ning."
"My suggestion is that you'd better find someone who can treat you wholeheartedly." At this time, Pei Shidao said seriously.
"What my father said makes sense." Pei Qiuning smiled inexplicably at this time and said softly.
"Qiu Ning, do you want to go with me to see your mother?" Pei Shidao suddenly said at this time.
"It's true that I haven't seen my mother for a long time." Pei Qiuning nodded slightly.
"Then let's have a meal together as a family tonight." Pei Shidao had a hint of excitement on his old face at this time.
"How long has it been since your father visited your mother?" Pei Qiuning's eyes flashed and she asked softly.
"Three years." Pei Shidao's voice sounded melancholy at this time.
"Isn't my father concentrating on cultivating Taoism in Xiyuan?" At this time, Pei Qiuning slowly stood up and seemed to have some guidance.
"The few words Du Shu's son-in-law Jiang Yan said during the previous discussion made me think about some things." Pei Shidao said with some relief at this time.
"Jiang Yan?"
"I know him, and what he said makes some sense." Pei Qiuning heard the words Du Shu's son-in-law at this time, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
"Father, do you think Du Xi has a chance to return to normal?" Pei Qiuning suddenly asked at this time.
"At that time, the imperial doctors in the palace and some of the great leaders of Da Qian all went to see Du Xi, but they were all helpless." Pei Shidao shook his head slightly.
Hearing this, Pei Qiuning felt a little relieved.
"Then let's go. Mother and Queen may not be able to forgive you, Emperor Father." Pei Qiuning covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Hey, I just hope your mother will let me eat this meal." Pei Shidao said helplessly at this time.
...
Jiang Yan had just finished feeding Du Xi dinner.
Then Jiang Yan hugged Du Xi and told her a story on the soft bed.
Now, Jiang Yan is telling Du Xi some ancient and refreshing novels written by women. These novels have ancient story backgrounds and are somewhat similar to today's Daqian in some places. She should be able to accept it.
After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he saw that Du Xi's lips were a little dry, and then gave her some water.
"Ahhh!" Du Xi wanted to speak at this time, but it was obvious that she could only make a sound of "ahhhh".
"Don't be anxious about speaking. You will be able to speak normally one day." Jiang Yan looked at Du Xi trying to speak, and felt a little uncomfortable for a moment. He didn't know what she encountered at that time. It turns out that he will become a vegetative state.
Jiang Yan thought about this, stretched out his big hands and gently hugged Du Xi's slender waist, and then gently shook Du Xi's body like he was coaxing a child, and said warmly: "Actually, it's okay to see you like this every day. It's a good thing to see subtle changes in you, which also shows that my care is still effective."
Du Xi felt the sincerity in Jiang Yan's words at this time, and her heart seemed to be touched for an instant. She couldn't help but want to speak.
"Didn't I just say that? Don't be anxious about talking." Jiang Yan said in a helpless voice at this time.
"Jiang... Yan." At this time, a somewhat unclear voice came slowly from Du Xi's mouth.
