Wei Xu took two quick steps forward and helped the person up: "Ladies, please stand up. We are talking inside..."
The two imperial concubines looked at each other, quickly stood up, and followed Wei Xu into the hall.
The hall was beautifully decorated, and at the moment there was an ice basin inside, making it very cool.
Wei Xu sat down first, and only spoke slowly after the two imperial concubines were seated.
"You two are my father's concubines. Although it is the custom of Tianlang that the husband dies and the younger brother inherits the throne. However, in my heart, I respect you two as elders..."
"I am still young, state affairs are busy, and I lack experience... I don't have the leisure to frequently visit the harem..."
In short, Wei Xu didn't want to sleep with them, he just wanted to respect them.
Even if they have found someone they want to spend their life with, Wei Xu can still let them leave the palace.
After understanding Wei Xu's words, Concubine Hui and Concubine Yong were both stunned.
Although they are in their thirties, they are in the best of their youth due to good maintenance.
Wei Xu is a fourteen-year-old boy, maybe he has never tasted a woman?
Why would you say such a thing?
On the surface, they immediately knelt down and began to show their loyalty.
Wei Xu quickly clarified: "I am not forcing you to express your views immediately."
"You can discuss it and tell me the result after you have thought it through..."
Coming out of the hall, Wei Xu looked a little relieved.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Yong was also visiting here, and she solved two problems at once.
The accompanying eunuch reported softly: "Your Majesty, the Grand Princess invites you."
Wei Xu paused: "Then let's go to her place."
As the master and servant walked in the corridor, the eunuch asked softly, "Your Majesty has been busy with state affairs for days, it would be good for you to relax alone, why did you send away all the concubines left by the previous emperor?"
And leave none behind?
Could it be...
Wei Xu turned around and glanced at the eunuch: "It's not that I don't like women."
"My body is not yet fully grown."
"If you start eating meat too early, you may become addicted to it and your body will be hollowed out, and your life span will be shortened."
Besides, there are not many people in Tianlang Country who truly respect him, and the concubines are backed by aristocratic families, and the relationships between them are complicated.
If I sleep with them rashly, who knows what kind of information they will convey to others?
The bloody history of Tianwu and Tianlang always reminds Wei Xu: nothing is more important than life.
Let's wait until the government is stable.
Thinking all the way as he walked, he soon arrived at Qi Rongrong's palace.
As soon as he entered the door, Wei Xu felt something was wrong.
There was no tea, fruit or snacks prepared in the hall as usual. Qi Rongrong no longer smiled and instead sat there wiping her tears.
Wei Xu was startled: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Qi Rongrong looked at Wei Xu with tears in her eyes: "I heard that you have been visiting the concubines' palaces recently?"
Wei Xu felt relieved and warm at the same time: Mother is worried and concerned that my body can't take it!
"Mom, I went to find them because I wanted to..."
He was about to explain when Qi Rongrong interrupted him: "You come to the harem all day long, but you never thought of coming to see mother?"
"It's in vain that mother came all the way to Sirius Palace to accompany you for you, even at the cost of hurting An'er's heart..."
Wei Xu: ...
His burning heart felt like someone had poured a bucket of cold water over him, and he suddenly didn't want to say anything.
Seeing Wei Xu lowering his head and not saying anything, Qi Rongrong thought he was guilty and became even more excited.
"As a mother, I don't know many people in this palace. I don't know the depth of these people, so I dare not make friends with them. I am locked up here all day long..."
Wei Xu felt annoyed after hearing this and finally couldn't help it.
"If you really feel like you're living a miserable life here, why don't I ask someone to take you back to Tianwu?"
Qi Rongrong was choked by these words, and then her tears flowed even more fiercely: "Are you annoyed with me?"
"Do you think I'm a burden and want to get rid of me?"
Wei Xu felt a wave of despair in his heart. He simply stopped talking and just watched Qi Rongrong's performance quietly with an expressionless face.
Qi Rongrong kept crying until she realized something was wrong. She stopped crying and looked at Wei Xu timidly.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Wei Xu didn't say anything, and Qi Rongrong became even more panicked.
"I just want you to come and see me more often. I'm not angry that you went to find them..."
The more she argued, the more she contradicted herself and the more ridiculous she seemed.
The eunuch behind Wei Xu couldn't help but speak up: "Your Majesty just went to Concubine Hui's palace, and Concubine Yong happened to be there. Your Majesty said that he treats the concubines like elders."
"If the ladies have a suitable place to go, he is willing to let them leave the palace."
I didn't go there just to visit the concubines or have fun.
Qi Rongrong's expression froze.
She hadn't expected this at all.
She had met both Concubine Hui and Concubine Yong. They were both in their prime, and their every frown and smile were charming enough that men could not resist.
She originally thought that her son was bewitched by their beauty and charm, but who knew that her son was actually trying to persuade them to leave the palace?
She stared at the eunuch blankly for a few seconds, and when she saw him nod affirmatively, she immediately looked at her son and began to explain herself belatedly.
"I am just worried about you, I am..."
Wei Xu interrupted Qi Rongrong tiredly: “No, you only worry about yourself.”
“All your efforts are for the sake of rewards.”
"When you are asking for rewards, you don't think about how hard it is for your son, who is only fourteen years old, to lead a country."
"You don't think about the fact that your son is exhausted from handling state affairs every day and wants his mother's love and care."
"Who would have thought that the mother called her son over, not because she felt sorry for him, but because she accused him of neglecting her..."
"My son's ability is limited. If I feel that I am not good enough, I can just go back to Tianwu."
After saying these words, Wei Xu turned his head and looked at the eunuch behind him: "I remember that I have some memorials that I haven't finished reading. Let's set up the imperial study."
Qi Rongrong was anxious and stood up quickly: "Xu'er, don't leave, I was thinking about something else..."
Wei Xu didn't stop at all and walked away with big strides.
"Waah...Waah..." The sound of a baby crying was heard from the back hall. It was Wei Dongfeng and Qiuqiu's two daughters who woke up.
Qi Rongrong was extremely upset and hurried to the back to check on the child.
The two children are almost one year old now. Although they are a little thin, they can now crawl and shout.
Qi Rongrong did not need to feed the babies herself. She stared blankly at the wet nurse holding the two children in her arms and patiently coaxing them to feed.
While the two children were feeding, the two wet nurses looked at the children in their arms with kind eyes.
The two children would glance at Qi Rongrong from time to time, say "ah", and then continue eating.
Finally, the two children finished eating, burped them, and were brought to Qi Rongrong.
Qi Rongrong watched the two children climb up by pulling up their legs, shouting "hug me".
Remembering that this was sent by Wei Xu, she stood up and picked up the child, and the child immediately kissed Qi Rongrong in a flattering manner.
Qi Rongrong touched the little guy's face, but Wei Xu's words came to her mind involuntarily.
Do you really only care about yourself?
It was obvious that she had come here from afar just for him, not willing to let An'er down.
Ke Xuer said: Do you want to be rewarded for all your efforts?
Qi Rongrong was not convinced. She turned her head and looked at the nanny beside her: "Tell me, what do I want in return?"
"I never expected anything from him..."
"He also left me two burdens..."
Qi Rongrong was so aggrieved that she cried. (End of this chapter)
