He felt complicated when he thought about the imperial physician's assertion that he might not have children.
He was so happy that he became a father. No matter whether Li Mengyue gave birth to a boy or a girl, he could shut the court officials up.
Don't think he doesn't know it. Nowadays, many people in the court use his inability to give birth as an excuse to force his father to appoint a crown prince.
Among them, the most popular one is the eldest brother, and of course, the second brother is not far behind.
He was not unaware of what the two of them did in private.
However, he did not have enough power to get rid of his eldest brother's grandfather, the King of Yue.
You have to know that the King of Yue has been guarding the southern border for 30 years. He has definitely accumulated a lot of connections, and the entire south is under the control of the King of Yue's Palace.
Even if his people wanted to infiltrate and disintegrate, it would not be possible overnight.
Therefore, knowing that his eldest brother's concubine, Concubine Rou, had sent people to hunt down his cousin and try to drug him to ruin his reputation, forcing him to marry the woman arranged by Concubine Rou and keep him in the palm of her hand, he could not act rashly.
If Qingxi heard the voice of her own prince, she would definitely curl her lips and complain.
They say we can't act rashly, but how can we not act rashly?
He even dared to take down the eldest prince's uncle-in-law, Prefect Song. He has already declared war openly.
Prefect Song was dismissed from his post and has already taken his family to the capital.
When Concubine Rou finds out how the prince treats her sister, she will probably reassess the threat posed by her master and send stronger people to get rid of the prince.
It's a pity that Qingxi didn't know what Xie Ruiyuan was thinking. Even if she knew, she wouldn't take it to heart.
Although his father did not have much talent in governing the country, he was more than capable of being a monarch who maintained the status quo.
However, over the years, people believed in slander and did not dare to take direct action against the princes, which led to the growing power of the treacherous prime minister and the princes, directly threatening the imperial power.
For example, when there were floods in the south, the amount of food and silver allocated by the court was pitifully small.
If he didn't have some property and earned some money, he probably wouldn't be able to properly resettle the victims.
Even so, hundreds of thousands of refugees fled their homes.
Originally, he wanted to directly resettle the disaster victims who fled to Qingshan, but the number of victims was too large, and the food and money needed were by no means a small amount.
The court was not supportive, and even if his industries made money, it would take time to accumulate.
A flood had almost spent all the money he had, and it was difficult for him to come up with enough money to resettle the victims who came to Qingshan.
But there is a way out, as the rich families have a lot of money and food.
It's a good opportunity for him to take advantage of this time to develop a relationship with Li Mengyue.
Li Mengyue, who was sitting in the living room, didn't know that she had been targeted by someone, and it was the kind that couldn't be shaken off.
"Ruiyuan, you might as well stay at the county government office for the time being."
"No, I still have it."
With that, Xie Ruiyuan stood up and left, but when he passed the living room, a familiar figure made him stop.
"Li Mengyue, why is she here?"
"Ruiyuan, you still have a meal. I have guests here, so it's not convenient for me to entertain you."
"You go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me."
Then Xie Ruiyuan walked into the living room.
"Hey, Ruiyuan."
Li Mengyue, who was lost in thought, looked out the door when she heard the voice.
