The Empress Dowager continued angrily: "Do you think that now that the prince's position has been determined, no one can touch him? Even if the Ai family doesn't abandon him because of your coldness, the courtiers will be dissatisfied with him. As the prince's special favor, If a person does not care about the heirs of the royal family, the voice of deposing him will always exist, and you also know very well how many people care about this prince's position. Do you keep saying that you love him, just to harm him and put him in danger? Think it through."
Leng Xiao was unable to refute the harsh rebuke.
She even truly agreed that the Empress Dowager was doing it for her own good. As long as she could tolerate these two people, it was a good start. People's bottom line was flexible. If she could tolerate these two, she would be able to tolerate other concubines in the future.
Leng Xiao couldn't help but feel hesitant in her eyes. If she didn't tolerate it, would she leave Nangong Yitian? She can't hurt him.
Do you want him to choose? Either choose her, or choose the position of prince or the throne. Do you love the country or the beauty? Is this country just a country? No, it's still his ambition.
She knew very well what he was thinking in his heart. Being a prince was very frustrating. He wanted to be an emperor so that he could truly express his ambition. He had many things he wanted to do. To be able to do those things without any restrictions, he had to be an emperor. OK.
But in fact, when you become an emperor, you can't do whatever you want, at least you can't even decide how many people in the harem.
She knew that she actually had no choice, and he had no choice either.
She kept insisting that she wanted to stay by his side, but it was all nonsense.
But she can't make the choice for him. No matter how difficult the choice is, he still has to choose it himself. No matter what he chooses, she understands and supports him.
Therefore, she looked at the Empress Dowager and said, "Grandma, I can't promise anything. Let's wait until he comes back to talk about everything."
After saying that, she stood up and left.
The Empress Dowager's voice came coldly, "Leng Xiao, don't let the Ai family down too much. The country will never give way because of your children's affair, and the Ai family and the emperor will not let the prince do this. You'd better know this." , you will suffer less, suffer less injuries, and don’t end up struggling and entangled in the end, harming yourself and the prince.”
Leng Xiao condensed for a while, then turned around and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your advice today. I really appreciate it."
The Empress Dowager looked at her, with a mixture of light and dark in her eyes. It could be seen that her thank you was sincere, but at that moment, the Empress Dowager felt very sad. There are very few people like Leng Xiao. It is a pity that she fell in love with the current prince and the future emperor, so it is destined that she will not get what she wants.
"Leng Xiao, if what you want is just the position of Crown Princess or Queen, the Ai family can help you, but if it is anything else, the Ai family cannot. As a person, you should pursue less. Reality is always better than illusion. good."
She raised her hand and sighed to let Leng Xiao go back.
Leng Xiao took three steps back, turned and left.
You will be happier if you pursue less. Isn’t the real thing just status and wealth?
It’s really easy to get by just pursuing these.
But that's not what she wants.
When Ape was accompanying the Crown Princess back, the Crown Princess didn't say a word, thinking that she was being scolded by the Queen Mother, so Ape didn't dare to say anything and just walked slowly with her.
After Leng Xiao returned, he went to Ming Wudao's place to wait for the child.
Ming Wudao also knew that two women were going to come in from the East Palace, so after class, she let the children play and invited Leng Xiao into the room to talk.
Ming Wudao made the tea herself, and the steaming mist of tea lingered on her peaceful face. When giving a cup of tea to Leng Xiao, she asked: "Has the Crown Princess decided to compromise?" "Sir, do you think I have other choices? "Leng Xiao took the tea, with a hint of sarcasm on her lips.
