Chapter 716 The Allure of the Imperial Husband 12
After gaining the favor of his wife, those men began to covet the status of the main husband, so they constantly framed his father and even did not let him go. He was only three years old and was drowned in a bitterly cold lake in the depth of winter.
Although he saved his life, the root cause of his illness has since fallen into place.
But in order to consolidate her position in the court, this woman chose to defend those people and make the matter trivial.
After his father died, he chose to become a monk.
It would be a lie to say that he didn't have any resentment against the woman in front of him, but this resentment faded away as time passed.
My father has let go, so why bother myself?
Her father said that he once loved her, so he would not hesitate to fly to the flames, even if he did something to forbear and give in.
But later I gradually discovered that many relationships cannot withstand being hurt over and over again, and deep love cannot be returned to the beginning, just like a broken mirror that cannot be reunited.
Different paths leading to different destinations are just strangers in the end.
Qi Yan recalled these things and felt that it was unfair for women to have three husbands and four kings.
Having two people for a lifetime is a luxury for men.
He opened his thin lips lightly and said: "That is my father's choice, I will not interfere."
Qi Shangshu sighed: "We haven't reconciled yet, and he is still my husband. There is no such truth in the world to abandon his wife and become a monk."
"But my mother has given the position of the main husband to someone else."
She was embarrassed and stopped talking.
Qi Yan sat upright and asked first: "What is the matter with my mother asking me to come?"
The tone is calm and clear.
"Ayan, you are nineteen this year, so you should be old enough to talk about marriage." Qi Shangshu's eyes flashed.
"Early next month is a rare draft ceremony. His Majesty has decreed that the sons of courtiers between the ages of fifteen and twenty must participate. You should prepare well."
After being stunned for a moment, Qi Yan pursed his pale red lips and curled his fingers slightly in his sleeves. After all, there is no way to escape...getting married.
He lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Qi Shangshu was still analyzing the current situation with him.
"In this draft, Your Majesty will use this opportunity to let several princesses choose their main husbands. There are many parties in the court, and our family secretly supports the eldest princess to ascend to the throne. But she already has a main husband and two side princes. Use your beauty to be the side prince. You are too aggrieved.”
"I thought about it for a while. Among the several princesses, only the third princess has a deep relationship with the eldest princess, and she respects the eldest princess in everything she does. And the position of her husband in the palace is vacant..."
How could Qi Yan not understand such a clear statement?
His mother used him to show her loyalty to the eldest princess, and he was nothing more than a tool used to consolidate her power position.
He twitched the corners of his mouth, and his handsome eyebrows became colder and colder. He closed his eyes and was silent for a few seconds, then slowly opened his eyes and said softly: "I...get it."
Qi Shangshu smiled with satisfaction and said a few more things before letting him go back.
Return to the room.
Qi Yan coughed in a low voice, his face turned slightly pale, and he sighed tiredly.
Sitting at the table, he took a sip of tea, then got up and planned to take a rest.
When he stood up, an object rolled out of his sleeve and hit the carpet with a muffled sound.
He paused and looked down.
A jade pendant with a dark yellow luster was lying there quietly. The word "武" on the jade pendant was clearly visible and crystal clear.
Pursing his thin crimson lips, he slowly leaned over to pick up the jade pendant. His white fingertips lightly rubbed the jade surface, and then he casually put it into his sleeve.
