2038 Chapter 2037-King Qi
The Empress Dowager rubbed her forehead. I’m tired. Emperor, you should go and see your own son!
She just couldn’t understand why their descendants were so unmotivated.
Her husband was the second emperor of the great Zhou Dynasty. Of the few princes under him, except for one of her twins, who especially wanted to be the Emperor, the rest were all carefree.
For example, the Father of the king of Kang, the Father of the Emperor, the King of Qi whose fief was in Jiangnan, and grandfather Gu. There were four princes in total, and none of them wanted to be the Emperor.
In fact, neither of her twins had any ambitions. Grandpa Gu had grown up in the palace until he was ten years old. The other was outside the palace. Because of an illness, Grandpa Gu left the palace, and the other returned to the palace to be the Crown Prince.
After the other one returned to the palace, his personality changed greatly. He became ambitious and wanted to keep the position of the Crown Prince and ascend to the throne of the Emperor. That was why there was a follow-up, where grandfather Gu was hunted down and then encountered a natural disaster and was stranded in Qing Province.
However, the one in the palace was not any better.
Majesty Kang’s father was slightly better off than him. He might be ambitious, but he was not capable enough to support his ambitions. He was stupid in some things, but he was able to adapt to the situation, so he was able to be a Prince with a peace of mind.
In the Jiangnan branch, the old king of Qi only had one concubine. It was not that he was infatuated, but that he had a unique hobby and liked handsome young men. Thus, after the old Wang Fei had two daughters and one son, the old king of Qi did not follow the old Wang Fei.
Of course, the old king of Qi had led a luxurious life and had too much fun. He had died, and the old Wang Fei had long passed away from her depression. The current King of Qi was younger than King Kang. He did not like handsome young men, but he liked handsome young ladies.
In order to live a happy life with his beloved women, King Qi basically didn’t return to the capital. If he did, he would be scolded.
When he was nineteen years old, he had forcefully taken a woman. When the Grand Empress Dowager, who was still the Empress Dowager at the time, found out about it, she had severely punished him. In the past twenty years, all the women that King Qi had found were of their own free will.
Moreover, the Grand Empress Dowager had set a rule for King Qi, and that was that he could not force the girl herself, and he could not do anything to force the girl to be willing. If he had the ability, he could rely on himself to make her like him and follow him as a concubine.
King Qi reflected on this painful experience and stopped forcefully snatching women. He began to move the girls with his heart.
As a result, other than the consort and the two secondary concubines, the rest of the ladies in King Qi’s residence were all brought home by King Qi himself.
Nine years ago, on the seventieth birthday of the Empress Dowager, King Qi had returned to the capital to offer his congratulations. He had even told King Kang and the Emperor that he felt that his heart had become bigger than before. Why? This was because he realized that he had already fallen in love with a few girls. He had to be sincere in order to exchange his sincerity for their sincerity.
It was the Empress Dowager’s eightieth birthday at the end of the year, and he wondered which of his true friends King Qi would bring back to the capital.
Of course, the Grand Empress Dowager only had two sons. As for the other sons, although they all had to call her mother, she would not interfere too much. As long as they did not damage the prestige of the royal family and did not bully the people, she would not ask too much.
She just felt that her husband’s children and grandchildren were not as ambitious as her husband’s brother, King Qu’s, and his people when it came to the throne.
King Qu’s family had been planning this for decades, ever since she had been the Crown Princess. In the end, they had still not succeeded.
