If you don't want to live that kind of life, we will retreat and no longer be concerned with those annoying trivial matters in the palace."
Murong Xiao stared at Qian Yeming for a long time before asking, "So after you spread the news that Murong Qingyun came to the palace alone to see the Queen today, you still couldn't resolve the blood test.
"You think I don't like life in the palace, so you're using this trick. If Murong Qingyun's identity is exposed, the emperor will definitely not keep him and will use this as an opportunity to suddenly send troops to wipe out the Marshal's Mansion. That way, both of our grudges will be avenged, and you can take advantage of the emperor's dethronement to take me away?"
"Yes, that's what I thought. This is the best way to launch a surprise attack and wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop. Although we haven't been together for a long time, I can sense that you are not someone who likes the intrigue and deception of the palace."
"Ming, I'm not being perfunctory. Life is full of unavoidable situations. Happiness is called happiness because it lasts only a short time, fleeting. But we can slowly savor the process of creating happiness, right?
I don’t like the palace, I really like a free and unrestrained life, but what kind of life is free and unrestrained?
Do you want to spend your days doing nothing but enjoying the mountains and rivers? I'm not some literati, and if you ask me to go hiking every day, I'll go crazy."
"I can take you away. You know I have many hidden businesses that we can develop. Do you think it's okay to live a carefree life like this?"
"Scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans—the lowest social status in this world is held by merchants. Are you sure that if you pursue a career in business, you won't be troubled by politics? If our business is affected by politics, who can guarantee that we can live freely?"
Qian Yeming looked at Murong Xiao doubtfully, his eyes darkening again as he asked, "Do you know what I'm thinking?"
Murong Xiao shook his head. "I don't know what you're thinking, but I know deep down you have great ambitions. Ming, life is but a short hundred years, and life is inherently difficult. Since it's not easy, why not choose the life you most want to live?"
Qian Yeming shook his head: "I used to have such lofty ambitions. I am the crown prince, right? Since childhood, I have received an orthodox imperial education. Ensuring that the people live a comfortable and easy life has been my lifelong goal.
But this ambition was extinguished long ago by the harsh reality. Now I just want to keep myself and my family safe and sound.”
"What if it could both keep you safe and help you achieve your ambitions?"
"...But you don't like places like the palace, do you?"
"But I like you. As long as I'm with you, even if it's the palace, I think it's a good place."
"You..." Looking at Murong Xiao's serious expression, he really didn't know what to say.
"Didn't you just say I'm the almighty wife? Since I'm almighty, at least staying alive in the palace shouldn't be a problem, right? Actually, I'm not that pretentious! I'm a very adaptable person. No matter where I live, I can do everything I can to make the best of it. My only requirement is that no matter what kind of life I lead, I must have you by my side."
