Mo Xiuyao naturally understood that Xu Qingchen's words made sense. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "The Chu capital is too far away from the Western Tomb. If something happens there in the future, we won't be able to help." Glass City also had its advantages. For example, it was located at the center of the continent. If they weren't strong enough, they would be attacked from all sides. However, if they were strong enough, this place could expand in all directions.
Xu Qingchen said, "We can't give up on Glass City. However, we don't have a way to expand Glass City to a sufficient size in a short time. Now that the world is in chaos, it's not a good thing to waste manpower and resources. "To put it bluntly, Glass City was too small. Originally, if the Prince Ding Mansion only guarded this small piece of land in the northwest, there wouldn't be much to say. However, the territory under the Prince Ding Mansion's control was no smaller than any other powerful country. If this continued, it would make people feel that it was too shabby. It would make the soldiers and officials feel unconfident. Because Prince Ding clearly didn't have any plans to ascend the throne, no one knew what the Prince Ding Mansion would be like in the future. Xu Qingchen had been handling all kinds of government affairs in Glass City for a long time. Naturally, he knew all the doubts and rumors among the officials and citizens. In the current situation, if they didn't expand Glass City, they would have to move the Prince Ding Mansion back to the Chu capital.
Mo Xiuyao pondered for a moment. He raised his head and said, "Mister Qingyun's birthday banquet will still be held in Glass City. After that, I and Miss Li will temporarily be stationed in the Chu capital. Uh … Mister Qingchen, you should go as well. Everything in Glass City will remain the same. Xu Qingchen was a bit helpless. He smiled and said, "Since the Prince has decided, as a subordinate, I can only follow his orders. Does the Prince plan to … operate both Glass City and the Chu capital at the same time? "
Mo Xiuyao nodded and said, "Right now, the terrain we occupy stretches from east to west. The distance between east and west is too far. If something happens in the west, it will be too late by the time the news reaches the Chu capital. Also, after taking care of Ren Qining, the Chu capital's role will be greatly reduced. When the time comes, the Western Hill and the Northern Tribes will be the focus. "The closest place to the Western Hill and the Northern Tribes was obviously Glass City.
Xu Qingchen raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Prince is indeed ambitious. However … I have a question that I haven't asked, and I'm sure that many of you are already very perplexed. "
Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Qingchen with a smile.
"Prince, have you never thought of ascending the throne?" Xu Qingchen asked, "If it was in the past, I wouldn't be surprised if the Prince didn't care about the Prince Ding Mansion in the northwest. But now, the Prince Ding Mansion covers thousands of miles from east to west. Why did the Prince … "This question indeed puzzled many people. Not only the subordinates of the Prince Ding Mansion, but even outsiders could not see through Mo Xiuyao's thoughts. If it were anyone else who had such a vast territory, they would have long since claimed to be the overlord. Unlike Mo Xiuyao, who did not have any self-awareness in this regard.
Mo Xiuyao held Ye Li's hand and smiled amiably at Xu Qingchen. "No other reason. Not interested."
"Not interested?" Xu Qingchen frowned and couldn't help but roll his eyes in his mind. Young Master Qingchen was naturally calm and easy to accept. If it were anyone else, such as Feng Zhiyao and the others, they would probably pounce on Mo Xiuyao and shake him by the collar. "Are you playing with us? Are you playing with us?" Xu Qingchen was only surprised for a moment before regaining his composure. Alright, it wasn't like he was going to be the emperor. If he wasn't interested, then so be it. Actually, ascending the throne was just a ceremony and a title. In the Prince Ding Mansion, who dared to say that Mo Xiuyao's authority was not as great as the Empress'? To hell with the legitimacy!
Mo Xiuyao looked at Xu Qingchen with some disdain. "Since Young Master Qingchen is fine, you should go back first. I am a bit tired and want to rest for a while. "The husband and wife were reuniting after a long separation. What was he doing here?
Xu Qingchen acted as if he didn't see his gaze and smiled at Ye Li. "Since it's like this, Li 'er, you should rest well. I will take good care of Xiaobao and the others. "
Hearing this, Ye Li's face was filled with dejection. She actually left the three children in the garden and left. Was her mind really muddled because of pregnancy? "Big Brother, are Xiaobao and the others with you? Sorry to trouble you … "
"It's no trouble. It's just that Xiaobao told me sadly that his father didn't even want to look at him and left." Xu Qingchen's smile was like a spring breeze.
Mo Xiuyao laughed coldly and said lightly, "Then I'll have to trouble Young Master Qingchen to take care of them. After all, Mo Xiuyao likes Eldest Uncle the most, right?" Speaking of favorite, Mo Xiuyao couldn't help but grit his teeth. He deeply felt that he had raised a little white-eyed wolf who lived off him while helping others. Seeing that Mo Xiuyao was really going to carry the children away, Xu Qingchen didn't tease him anymore. She smiled and bid farewell.
In the reception pavilion, Ye Li looked curiously at Mo Xiuyao. She wanted to say something, but stopped. Mo Xiuyao looked at her with a smile. "Why is Li looking at me like that? Have you discovered that your husband has become more handsome after not seeing him for so long? "
Ye Li looked at the sky, speechless. "You really don't plan to ascend the throne?"
Mo Xiuyao gave a light snort and said carelessly, "What's so good about ascending the throne? I'm always worried that someone will steal my throne. Occasionally, when I want to play around, I'll be scolded by the Imperial Censors. When I want to kill someone, I'll have to listen to the long-winded lectures of those old men. Most importantly … I have no interest in accepting the daughters of those old men who can't marry. Could it be that Li Li wants your husband to have three palaces and six courtyards? En … actually, it's not impossible. After your husband ascends the throne, I'll order that the future Emperor can only have one Empress and no concubines. Then … I'll kill all those old men who like to criticize me. Your husband will be a tyrant. What do you think, Li Li? "
Ye Li only felt a wave of powerlessness. She waved her hand and said, "Let's talk about ascending the throne later."
