Chapter 1615 Little Discussion
Long Qian Xing's smile grew brighter after he received Emperor Yang Zhou's permission.
Looking at this man, Emperor Yang Zhou shook his head lightly. He didn't know whether it was his good luck or bad luck to be associated with Long Qian Xing in this life.
The lessons he had cultivated in the many years staying inside the Imperial Family didn't seem to be of much use when he was facing Long Qian Xing's rascally request. Fortunately, this rarely happened.
Even the coldest person perhaps wouldn't be able to keep that wall forever when they kept on interacting with each other for so many years. Being treated warmly, there was part inside one's heart that was tugged.
"I'm going back first." Emperor Yang Zhou flicked his sleeve.
Long Qian Xing didn't stop Emperor Yang Zhou. He didn't really have anything to say to this emperor either. Everything that needed to be said had been told when he was talking with Emperor Yang Zhou back then.
By now, there was nothing he needed to add. n-.OVe1B1n
It didn't take long for Nan Hua to finish the story and Princess Yang Luan win by slight differences. She handed a few sweets that she carried to the Princess Yang Luan's small hand.
Her large eyes brightened when she saw the sweets.
"Thank you, General Jun!" Princess Yang Luan smiled sweetly. By this point, her affection towards this new General Jun had soared greatly.
Nan Hua smiled slightly when she saw the child so happy. She then turned to look at Princess Yang Lin. "Next time, you might be able to do it too."
Princess Yang Lin was indeed a bit envious of Princess Yang Luan, but she couldn't remember as many points as her half imperial sister. Hearing Nan Hua's words, she nodded solemnly.
She will work harder!
"Go back. Your mother has been waiting for lunch."
"Yes!"
The two children ran to their respective mothers. The two Imperial Concubines thanked Nan Hua and gave several formal pleasantries before they left while carrying their daughters.
Nan Hua watched their back for a moment before turning her attention to Long Qian Xing, who has been waiting with a smile at the side.
"General Jun, do you mind if I intrude a bit?" Long Qian Xing asked with a chuckle.
Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing and shook her head softly. "Not at all, General Xing. Would you like to come to my temporary palace to talk?"
"I borrowed the palace beside your temporary palace. The kitchen there is better and my maidservant had prepared food for us. Discussing some matters while having lunch should be better." Long Qian Xing smiled.
Nan Hua agreed and followed Long Qian Xing.
The few maidservants and eunuch around tactfully walked away. They were not qualified to know what these two generals were talking about. Whether they were talking about serious matters or it was private matters, they didn't have any place to know in the slightest bit.
The two of them walked unhurriedly.
The road in the Imperial Palace was clearly more circular as compared to Long Family Residence. Not to mention, there were several palaces that had people inside, which Long Qian Xing avoided.
This made their supposedly short journey become longer.
Nan Hua could see the little tricks that Long Qian Xing did, but she chose to turn blind eyes to it. Being able to walk with Long Qian Xing in such peaceful environment for a longer period of time seemed to be really nice.
It was very comfortable.
Unfortunately, they eventually reached the designated palace.
"This is...?" Nan Hua saw that the palace was empty but the decoration seemed to say that this should have been a relatively good palace before.
"This used to be the place of an Empress Dowager during the previous emperor's era. That Empress Dowager had a lower sense of presence, but her son is still involved in some disputes and ended up being sent away after deprived of his title as a prince and given other lower title," Long Qian Xing explained.
Emperor Yang Zhou's father was clearly not the only son. There were also other brothers and cousins who were princes and had the stake to the throne. But with the help of the previous Prime Minister, he managed to sit on the throne stably while the other princes were either killed or sent away to remote areas.
Their mothers were all titled as Empress Dowager and had palace to stay. But they were unable to help their children and could only watch as they were being accused or sent away if they didn't pose any danger.
"When Emperor Yang Zhou took charge, the previous Empress Dowagers were all sent away to the temple. This palace had been empty ever since that time and no one come here. However, the Empress Dowager who used to live here like to cook, so the kitchen is relatively complete." Long Qian Xing sighed internally.
Seeing so many people competed for the sake of one person's affection, he didn't know what he should think.
In this previous world, he never thought too much about this matter. After all, that era already practiced monogamy, which he also followed. Before coming to this world, he had only heard of this kind of era and didn't know how complicated he should feel.
There were many amazing women who could only be buried and had their name forgotten because they didn't have the chance to show it.
But how many powerful men who made their name actually also had support of their woman behind their back?
He had heard some of their stories and felt a bit apprehensive.
People only remember the one at the front and forgot the one at the back.
Many stories were told to him because of his position in his previous world. Because of that, he couldn't accept the practice of polygamy as he felt that human's time and affection was limited.
Having to care for one person and had a complete and good family was their limit.
To care for another person was difficult because the scale in their heart would be tilted to one side.
There was a limit to the room within a human's heart.
