Chapter 916: Marrying on Behalf of Others 1
King Wu smiled awkwardly and said, "Just save some face for me in front of the child! Besides, I love Yaohong as much as you do. Even if I usually ignore Yaohong, the position Yaohong holds in my heart is unmatched by anyone."
The King of Wu was not lying. Although he doted on the concubines in the backyard, they were just toys in his eyes. Even the illegitimate daughters born to the concubines were not taken seriously by the King of Wu. Only Yaohong, his legitimate son, was taken to heart by him.
After all, this is his legitimate son, and his only child! So how could the King of Wu not value his son?
As for Jiang Chunxi…
As early as after Jiang Chunxi became pregnant, she stopped allowing King Wu to enter her room, so Jiang Chunxi was more like an adviser to King Wu.
For a strategist to gain the trust and respect of his master is already the highest honor for him. How could his master possibly take it to heart and care about it?
Jiang Chunxi rolled her eyes at King Wu again, but didn't say anything else. After all, she had to save some face for King Wu in front of the child.
Of course, this was just for King Wu to see. The good son taught by Jiang Chunxi would naturally side with her as the mother, not to benefit the scumbag King Wu.
Therefore, even though little Wu Yaohong looks like he likes his biological father, King Wu, he is actually just pretending for King Wu to see.
The King of Wu played with his son for a while, and then asked someone to take his son out to play.
Before he could speak, Jiang Chunxi said, "Someone from the palace came today and told me that the Queen asked me to go to the palace tomorrow. I guess she wants Yaohong to come to the palace to accompany the Crown Prince."
The prince is three years old this year, and it is time to find a study partner. It is also expected that Jiang Chunxi's son would be chosen by the queen.
Of course, whether Yaohong can become the prince's companion depends on his qualifications in all aspects. After all, it is not easy to become the prince's companion. That is why the emperor and the queen have been making plans for the prince's companion early on.
The King of Wu was naturally very happy: "That's great. If Yao Hong becomes the prince's companion, then in the future..."
"Be careful with your words," Jiang Chunxi interrupted King Wu with a serious expression, "How many times do I have to remind you before you will remember my words."
As she spoke, Jiang Chunxi lowered her voice and said, "Don't think that if you hand over the military power, the emperor will be able to completely let you go. Believe it or not, the emperor's spies are still in our mansion."
Jiang Chunxi gave King Wu a warning look: "I think if I don't teach you a lesson, you will become arrogant. The emperor does regard the prince as his successor, but as an emperor, he doesn't want to see his ministers betting on the prince so early. What's the difference between that and playing both sides?"
"Got it. I will be more careful with what I say next time." King Wu looked frightened and was not angry at Jiang Chunxi's reprimand. "Chunxi, I'm lucky that you have been giving me advice and suggestions over the years. Otherwise, I don't know what would happen to me now."
Many of those who had joined the emperor in conquering the world were dealt with by him. That was why King Wu was extremely grateful to have a resourceful princess like Jiang Chunxi by his side.
"Nonsense, you are Yaohong's father after all, and we are still husband and wife. Only if you are well, our family can be well. I don't expect you to be well, so do I have to watch you commit suicide?" Jiang Chunxi said, "By the way, did you want to tell me something just now?"
"She's your elder sister." When King Wu talked about Jiang Zhihuan, he didn't dare to look into Jiang Chunxi's eyes. It can be seen from this that he was actually very afraid of Jiang Chunxi getting angry. "Your elder sister asked me out today and told me..."
"Okay, you don't need to say anything more," Jiang Chunxi interrupted the King of Wu. "I know what Jiang Zhihuan will say to you, even if you don't say it. She is telling you that the reason she eloped with another man was because of me, her younger sister, who tricked her into falling for my scheme when she was young and ignorant."
"Then she regretted it and expressed her love for you, saying that the person she loved in her heart was actually you. If it weren't for my calculations, you two would be a perfect couple now."
King Wu couldn't help but give Jiang Chunxi a thumbs up: "You got everything right. You really know your sister's personality very well."
"Ha!" Jiang Chunxi sneered, "I have been humiliated by Jiang Zhihuan since I was a child. I know her character very well."
"She! She still thinks you are the dog that licked her knees. No matter what she says, you will let her lead you by the nose. As long as she gives you a little sweetness, you will be eager to offer the position of Princess Wu with both hands and help her to eliminate Yao Hong and me."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" King Wu said in dissatisfaction, "Am I so foolish in your eyes?"
Jiang Chunxi gave King Wu a look of contempt: "If I hadn't taught you earnestly over the years, would your brain have been able to open up? And if your brain wasn't open up, as long as Jiang Zhihuan waved her hand, you would still be like a dog, eagerly running to her to do her bidding."
The King of Wu did not deny it: "By the way, I made a promise to Jiang Zhihuan today on impulse to marry her as a concubine. Fortunately, Jiang Zhihuan refused. Otherwise..."
"Haha!" Jiang Chunxi interrupted the King of Wu with a sneer, "Jiang Zhihuan is eyeing the position of the King of Wu's wife. You only promised to give her the position of a concubine. It would be strange if Jiang Zhihuan agreed."
"But..." Jiang Chunxi's face darkened, "Do you think you don't care what others think of you? Do you want to relive the embarrassment of being laughed at behind your back? Jiang Zhihuan, a woman who once abandoned you and eloped with another man, is a fallen woman, and you actually want to marry her as a concubine."
"What's the matter? Do you want others to talk about your hobby of wearing a green hat, or do you want others to laugh at your hobby of picking up junk?"
"Of course, you don't care about how others laugh at you and talk about you behind your back. That's your own business, but don't forget that you are a father now. You don't care about your reputation, but can you please consider Yao Hong for a moment."
"You have to know that the emperor and the empress only selected Yaohong to be the prince's companion, but it is still unknown whether Yaohong can become the prince's companion in the end. If the emperor and the empress exclude Yaohong because of you, I wonder how you will face your son in the future, and how you will face the ancestors of the Wu family after you die."
