A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine Volume 1 Extra 095 Don't Try to Control My Life

Although I am the emperor of the empire, I am also Dongling Dou Rongrui. I will never allow those officials to control my life in the name of doing good for me and the world...

My adoptive father is right. No matter how gentle and elegant I appear on the surface, deep down I am just like my father, a strong and domineering man!

Before I ascended the throne, I hid my strength and tyranny very well. Even Cui Xiaoting and others who were close to me did not know my true nature.

Besides my father and mother, the only people who know my true nature are Zhezhe and Fengjin, who grew up with me.

Zhezhe is my secret right-hand man, Feng Jin is nominally my uncle and my official subject. Even if these two people know my true nature, they will not or dare not say much, because they both know very well how cold-blooded and heartless I am!

When it comes to ruthlessness, I am just like my father. Zhezhe and Fengjin know me very well. They know exactly what kind of person I am. They dare not betray me!

Because of his upbringing, my father had to show his strength and ruthlessness in front of others in order to protect himself. That’s why no one dared to offend my father, but...

I don't need to do this!

I have strong parents, I have a noble background, I hold the power of life and death over the world, I restrain my tyranny and ruthlessness, like a bystander, watching the drama...

As long as the ministers' requests are not excessive, I will generally agree to them. After all, I need these people to do things, and I can't beat them all to death and then die of exhaustion myself.

However, some people only care about food and not beatings. Seeing that I, the emperor, speak better to them than my father, they forgot how tough I was when I first ascended the throne and actually forced me to take a queen and concubines!

twenty?

I admit that I am indeed not young anymore and it is time for me to get married and start a family, but what does this have to do with the officials in the court?

Whether to establish a queen is my business, whether to take a concubine is also my business. When does it become the turn of these old guys to interfere in my affairs, Dong Ling Rongrui?

Of course, as a wise emperor, I did not put on a murderous posture, nor did I leave with a gloomy face like my father did. I just asked them to pick the right person...

Not to mention, in order to marry into the royal family, the noble ladies in the capital actually declined their marriage age one by one, waiting for me to ascend the throne, establish a queen and take concubines, so that they can marry into the royal family...

When my mother was 18 years old and unmarried, she was considered an old girl in the capital and it was difficult for her to get married. But what about now?

There are actually a lot of unmarried girls who are eighteen years old, just waiting to be chosen by me, the emperor. There are even daughters of wealthy families who are twenty or twenty-two years old and still unmarried.

How much do these people want to marry into the palace?

There is only one queen. Do they think that this position must be theirs?

It's really naive and ridiculous...

Fortunately, the Wang, Cui, Zhai and Yuwen families did not have suitable women, so their daughters were engaged as soon as they reached a certain age and were only waiting to get married at the age of eighteen.

The reason why they wait until the age of eighteen is because my mother said that it is too early for a girl to get married at the age of fifteen and it is not suitable for her to have children. Therefore, most families nowadays will get engaged at the age of fourteen or fifteen and get married at the age of eighteen.

If someone is still unengaged at the age of 18, they definitely have an agenda, and I really don’t like people with such an agenda…

After I got the list, the ministers finally calmed down, thinking that I was going to choose a queen or a concubine from the list. I couldn't help laughing when I saw how nervous and expectant they all were...

These people don't think that I am like my father, who only speaks the truth, right?

I sat on the dragon throne with a smile on my face, presided over the morning court in a good mood, and even praised a few ministers who did a good job.

In the eyes of the court officials, although I have a good temper and am a wise ruler, I have always had very high standards and rarely praise others. Some of the officials were flattered by the praise, but I still just smiled and said nothing...

After the morning court session, Zhezhe came to see me.

He has a list of young men from prominent families who are of age but unengaged. On the list are Su Wenhang, Feng Jin, Zhai Xiaoming and others.

It seems that there are not only many unmarried women of advanced age in the imperial city, but also many unmarried men of advanced age.

"Qu Zhe, what about you?" I asked after reading from beginning to end but didn't see Zhezhe's name.

Not surprisingly, Zhezhe's handsome face darkened immediately: "Your Majesty, you don't think that these idiots are worthy of me, do you?" Others didn't know what the emperor was going to do, but Zhezhe knew...

Zhezhe is still as proud and arrogant as he was back then.

Of course, Zhezhe has reason to be proud.

"These women are not worthy of you, so pick one who is worthy of you." I found that I was really too kind. The ministers picked a group of women that Zhezhe liked, but I didn't get angry...

"Is there such a thing in this world?"

Zhezhe made another outrageous statement, and I looked up at the sky silently...

Why does this answer sound so familiar?

I think Mr. Yuanxi said this?

Zhai Xiaoming also said that?

Who else has said...

Too many to remember.

"You will never find a wife in your life if you keep doing this." I advised kindly, but when I thought about my own situation, I couldn't help but sigh...

There are many good women in this world, but there is no one I want.

I hope that I can find a woman that I like and love deeply, just like my father did. I don't need three thousand concubines in my harem, I just want a sweetheart who can accompany me until old age, but I know...

This is a luxury for the emperor. Not everyone is as lucky as my father, who can meet the woman he likes and marry her.

You know, there are many people who want to marry my mother. It is definitely lucky for my father that he is favored by my mother.

Forget it, forget it, it’s better not to think about this kind of thing. The more I think about it, the more depressed I become.

I signaled Zhezhe to step aside and began to look through the two lists, as well as the relationships between the families behind them, and selected the person I thought was the most suitable match. As for feelings?

Marriage is a big deal, it’s decided by parents and matchmakers. Where can you find so many affectionate couples? Not many men and women can meet before marriage. Feelings can be cultivated after marriage...

My mother once said that there is nothing wrong with a marriage between people of equal social status. At least the two people have the same values ​​and look at problems from the same perspective. And as an emperor, do I need to care whether they have feelings for each other?

I had two lists, and I counted them equally. I picked out the names of Wen Hang and several others, and then started pairing them up...

One hundred couples were matched up in an instant, and even I couldn’t help but praise myself. I am indeed a wise emperor!

The list was handed to Cui Xiaoting, who was asked to draft the imperial edict. The imperial edict must be delivered to these people today. As for whether Cui Xiaoting's hand would be broken if he wrote hundreds of imperial edicts, well...

I didn't have time to care because my father and mother heard the news and called me to another courtyard...

Twenty-five!

My father and mother gave me a deadline. They gave me another five years. If I don't meet someone I like within five years, I will choose a woman I like to be my queen, and then have a child. As for concubines?

My father and mother have no requirements for me. If they want it, they can take it. If they don’t want it, it’s up to them. As long as I can handle the pressure...

This is how the world is. Not everyone can find someone who is in tune with them. Just look at the fact that my godfather never married in his entire life.

Moreover, the only emperor who could stay with a woman for his entire life was my father.

"Brother Emperor, you are so pitiful." Xiaobao lay on my back and looked at me with sympathy. In his eyes, being an emperor is a very difficult thing, especially now that he is forced to marry, he deserves sympathy...

But, Xiaobao, do you know that if your brother didn’t take on all these responsibilities, how would you have the freedom you have today?

I smiled, pinched Xiaobao's cheek, and told my father and mother firmly: I understand my responsibilities, and I will not act recklessly.

Five years is enough!

If I still can't find a woman who shares my heart and soul like my father did in five years, I will obediently establish a queen and take concubines, and be a good emperor...

Love is a luxury for an emperor. My father is the luckiest emperor in the world...

The last chapter of Naibao... I always wanted to write about what happened after he ascended the throne,
