"Yes, time flies, and we're not young anymore."
Jiang Tian said that, but she didn't look old at all.
In recent years, she has been extremely happy. She has opened several shops and become a boss, and she likes to please herself more than anyone else.
She still looks like she's in her prime.
On the contrary, Jiang Ting always felt that his mindset had grown old.
"Over the years, I've thought about this for a long time, and I still have to tell you something. I hope you can promise me that I can send Jiang Run to school. I want to take her with me and nurture her."
As he said those words, his palms began to sweat involuntarily again.
Jiang Ting knew he was simply not good at confronting her.
For five years, he had never set foot in the inner palace. He even opened the inner palace once to allow the concubines who wanted to leave to leave the palace.
His actions initially caused unrest throughout the court.
Many people are wondering about this.
They really don't know what His Majesty is trying to do.
Doesn't he already have children? That means he's a normal person.
There were so many beautiful women in the harem, yet he didn't favor any of them and even ordered them to be sent out of the palace.
What was he really thinking?
What he was thinking, no one else knew.
Jiang Ting didn't care what others thought.
He asked all the officials who had sent their daughters to the palace if they wanted to bring them back, and offered them the opportunity to enter the palace and talk to their daughters in person.
Some families actually gave up.
Jiang Ting has been on the throne for many years, and the first batch of concubines who entered the palace are almost done with their lives.
If he really wanted to favor his daughter, there would be no sign of anything by now.
Rather, it would be more accurate to say that he was single-minded and focused solely on governing the country.
Since his daughters couldn't hold his heart, he might as well bring them out—as long as they were willing.
Jiang Ting had already issued the relevant decree that all concubines leaving the palace would be properly settled and that he would not interfere with their marriages.
During the hundreds of years that the Jiang family ruled the world, Jiang Ting's actions were not considered particularly outrageous or audacious.
The ministers were relieved that he was even willing to let their daughters marry on their own.
As a result, many of the concubines were taken away.
This group of people wanted to leave willingly.
Over the years, Jiang Ting has indeed never mistreated them, but if they were to remain forever in the cold palace, anyone would go crazy.
Jiang Ting asked for their opinions and promised them that he would give them more money than they could ever spend in a lifetime.
Even if they don't get married, they can live a carefree life—and that is, a carefree life outside.
This was an incredible temptation for them.
Nobody wants to live in that tiny, cramped place.
As a result, many concubines were tempted.
A large number of people left this time.
Only a small portion of the harem remained, but their ambitions had not disappeared.
Jiang Ting was planning to open another harem, so he asked them again.
It's impossible for him to have any other concubines.
He actually has a bit of a fastidiousness about cleanliness.
Once you love someone, you'll feel disgusted if you do those things to other women.
Since he won't have any other women in the future, he will only have Jiang Run as his daughter.
To be fair, Jiang Ting must have considered the problems that would arise if he allowed his daughter to ascend the throne.
But no matter what, he couldn't let the throne fall into someone else's hands.
Moreover, he felt that his daughter was the best choice.
Jiang Run showed extraordinary talent from a young age. She had excellent physical qualities, and some people in the martial arts world even said that she had a talent for martial arts.
At the same time, she is also very intelligent, so intelligent that she is almost impossible to compete with.
Many people were completely manipulated by her.
Only in front of her mother could she show her honest side.
“I want to put her on the throne. I will never have any other children in my life, and one day I will abdicate. I will not adopt a child from my own clan. I have my own children, so why should the throne be inherited by those who have already benefited from the system?”
Seeing that Jiang Tian remained silent, Jiang Ting couldn't help but rack his brains and list many benefits of Jiang Run's ascension to the throne.
Who in this world doesn't regard the emperor as their sole master?
If he could truly become emperor, Jiang Run would never have to suffer any indignities from anyone in his life. Even if he did suffer indignities, he could simply cut off the person's head with a single stroke.
Absolute freedom only exists in the face of absolute power.
Jiang Run is five years old this year, which is not young anymore, and it's just the right time for her to start her education.
He has a million plans in his mind, but he doesn't dare to say them now.
He has to get past Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian looked at him: "Can my daughter really become empress?"
"Of course, she is also my daughter. She has royal blood. If she cannot be the emperor, then who is worthy to be the emperor?"
Jiang Ting said this with great certainty.
He's been emperor for so many years, if he can't even pave the way for his daughter, does he deserve to be her father?
"I can't answer that question for you. I have to ask Jiang Run first. She's recently become obsessed with martial arts. When Yuwen Zhuo saw her, he showed her a spear routine, which was absolutely brilliant, and she's been captivated ever since. She only started practicing horse stance today. If you send her to a training course, she'll definitely be unhappy."
Jiang Ting's expression darkened upon hearing Yuwen Zhuo's name.
Although Yuwen Zhuo was stationed at the border, he would return several times a year to visit relatives, report on his duties, and do other things.
Jiang Tian is far away in Jiangnan, and he still has to travel over mountains and rivers to see her. How could Jiang Ting be happy about that?
But now that things have come to this, he can't care about anything else. He told her, "I'll go and persuade Jiang Run, and I'll also be honest with her."
In Jiang Run's memory, her father was just an ordinary businessman. To support her and her mother, he would go out to do business for one or two months every time, and he would always bring back good things that made her happy.
Although she rarely saw her father, Jiang Run still admired him and loved him very much.
There is only one father in this world. Her father loves her so much, how could she not love her father?
For Jiang Run, her mother and father are the most important people in her life.
So when Jiang Ting said he was the emperor, Jiang Run was so frightened that she cried, thinking her father had gone hysterical.
Her mother had told her that ordinary people could not become emperors. If an ordinary person went out and claimed to be the emperor, they would be imprisoned at best, and beheaded at worst.
But her father was telling her that he was the emperor and that he was going to take her to the palace.
Wouldn't her father be beheaded in that case?
The thought of her loving father facing such difficulties overwhelmed Jiang Run with grief, and she burst into tears.
Jiang Ting was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
In order to convince his daughter that he was a businessman who traveled all over the country, he had done a lot of groundwork and gradually solidified his identity.
It's normal for Jiang Run to be startled when he suddenly reveals that he is the emperor.
But her concern for his life gave him an indescribable warmth.
