Wei Ziyao was right. Not long after she arrived home, Eunuch Fu came to invite her and Ki Chien-chul to enter the palace together.
But after entering the palace, the two of them were separated.
The Emperor first met with Ki Chien-chul, while Wei Ziyao waited outside.
She didn't know what it was that they had to talk about separately.
"I have always thought that you are the smartest and most powerful among all the princes. Now that I am old and your eldest brother has just passed away, the position of the crown prince has been vacant. Let me ask you, have you ever thought about being the crown prince?"
Hearing this, Ki Chien-chul frowned. This was the first time his father had talked to him about this matter.
"Replying to Imperial Father, this kind of thing naturally needs to be decided by Imperial Father. This son doesn't dare to think about it casually."
This kind of words, no matter who asked, would definitely give the same answer. It was hard to say what they would do in private, and it was even harder to say whether the Emperor would believe it or not.
"Forget it, you don't dare to tell the truth. But as the prince of Royal Highness, if you want to be the crown prince, you should at least have a descendant. Speaking of which, you are not young anymore. It's fine if you don't have a son, but now you don't even have a child. You have been married to that girl from the Wei family for some time, but there is still no news. Even if I think highly of you and want to make you the crown prince, it doesn't make sense."
Ki Chien-chul felt that his father's words were awkward no matter how he listened to them.
"A few days ago, at the garden party, all the princes chose noble ladies to enter their houses. Only Wei Ziyao didn't choose. This is an act of favoritism and jealousy, and can't be condoned. So … according to my opinion, you should choose two concubines today and then give birth to a few imperial grandsons for me. At that time, it will make sense if I want to make you the crown prince."
Concubine?
Was there anything more frightening in the world than this? Which decent man had three wives and four concubines? Which decent man would take a concubine? In any case, he didn't want it.
"Imperial Father, this son and Ziyao are deeply in love. In this life, I only want her. I don't intend to find a concubine to wrong her."
"Nonsense!" Sure enough, when the Emperor heard this, he flew into a rage: "Listen to yourself, do you still sound like a prince of Royal Highness? Does he still look like a man? Because of a woman, you made a promise for the rest of your life. Do you have a bigger picture? Love was the most undesirable thing! Don't tell me you're going to let a woman hold you back? "
"Imperial Father, Ziyao will not hold me back. I am willing to have someone wholeheartedly. I have no other request."
"Hmph! Nothing else? Do you mean that even if I don't pass the throne to you because you don't want a concubine, you only want her? "
"Exactly." Ki Chien-chul said these two words resolutely and decisively. He knew that it would only make the Emperor even angrier.
"Trash! Useless thing! Just because of a woman, you want to give up your country? Are you going to give up the throne? "
"I believe that Wei Ziyao and the throne are not in conflict."
Ki Chien-chul felt that he had really changed. He could actually say such things so confidently.
In the past, he might have been like his father, thinking how sad it was for a man to give up the throne for a woman.
But now he didn't think so. Instead, he felt that it would be sad if he didn't even have someone he truly loved in his life.
"Not in conflict? Are you sure? For a woman like Wei Ziyao, if you don't find a few more women to suppress her, do you think you can control her? "
"Imperial Father, do you think a few women can control a woman that even I can't control? Moreover … I have never thought of controlling her. Instead, she is the one who has me under control. "
This …
"Useless thing!" He actually gave up so much for a woman and was controlled by her. How could he still be a prince of Royal Highness?
"I believe that whether a man can achieve great things has nothing to do with how many women he marries, but it has a lot to do with what kind of woman he has behind him. If Imperial Father believes me, then you believe me. If you don't, then I can't do anything."
Bei Wen Emperor felt that all the words he had just said were in vain.
Did he not trust his own son now? He didn't trust Wei Ziyao!
How could he not worry about such a strange woman who couldn't be controlled?
However, Ki Chien-chul's last sentence said what Northern Wen Emperor was thinking. It had something to do with what kind of woman behind him.
