Ling Ning didn't want to think about how Yan Li, an orphan, could think so deeply and see so thoroughly, but she knew that what Yan Li said was right.

The battle for the throne has never been to the death. For the person who ascended the throne, it doesn’t matter whether you have the heart or not. Whether you have the strength to threaten the throne is the key.

Ling Ning rubbed the teacup and was silent for a long time.

People in the world envy nobles of aristocrats, but they do not know that noble daughters of aristocrats cannot even be the master of marriage. All factors must be taken into account in marriage.

How to choose if you have ambitions, how to protect yourself if you don’t have ambitions. If you are not careful, it may be that a family will collapse.

"Everyone has a different attitude towards things, and a woman like you should be more decisive."

Yan Li seemed to see the embarrassment in her heart and smiled calmly, "King Jing likes you, you also like King Jing. Men and women get married and you are willing to marry. No matter how others think, it is their business, you can't stop it."

Ling Ning drank a sip of tea in silence, and his eyebrows and eyes were filled with deep thoughts.

"Even if you prove to everyone that you have no ambitions, the existence of the Duke of Guarding the Kingdom may cause fear to the king. Of course, not only the Duke of Guarding the Kingdom of Guarding the Kingdom of Guarding the Kingdom of Guarding the Kingdom of Guarding the Kingdom of Guarding the Kingdom of Guarding the Kingdom of Guarding the Kingdom of Guarding the Kingdom of Guarding the Kingdom of Guarding the Kingdom of Guarding the Kingdom of Guarding the Kingdom of Guarding the

Ling Ning felt enlightened when he heard this.

Yes, those who hold military power can defend their country during wartime, which is a powerful weapon in the hands of the emperor. Military power and merits will also arouse suspicion from the emperor. This is an inevitable thing.

Since the Ling family has chosen this path, they can only do their best to protect their responsibilities. Thinking too much will only increase their worries.

Yan Li's voice was quiet, and there was no trace of turbulence in his tone. "No matter when, the stronger the person, the more he should always be awake and have the ability to protect himself. Even if he is suspicious in the future, he must at least have the ability to escape unstoppable."

Ling Ning was silent for a moment: "If it were you, what would you make a decision?"

"No one can accurately predict the results of what has not happened. Even the destiny is deviated, let alone the mortals?"

Yan Li smiled, "If it were me, I would definitely make decisions according to my own wishes. In life, it is rare to have lovers."

It's rare to have a lover...

Ling Ning lowered her eyebrows and unexpectedly thought of what King Jing said to her yesterday.

"You are concerned that the prominent family will cause suspicion from the emperor. I am willing to give up the position of prince for you. You said that the imperial edict could not resist. Now the marriage between my king and Gu Anxian has been invalidated. You do not want to work with other women. I promise to have a pair of people for a lifetime... Ling Ning, if you have to find other reasons to refuse me, I can only take some extraordinary measures."

Ling Ning wanted to ask him at that moment, what is his extraordinary method?

But looking at King Jing's serious and cold face, Ling Ning was a little scared because of guilt, and finally turned around and left, with the meaning of running away in panic.

"What's more, even if you don't get married to King Jing, the Duke of the Kingdom can guarantee that the next emperor is an enlightened king?" Yan Li shook his head slowly, "The emperor's heart is unpredictable, and this sentence has never been wrong."

Ling Ning came back to his senses and spoke slowly: "You have made sense."

Yan Li didn't say anything more.

Ling Ning is a smart woman, and she only needs to click on many words. After all, outsiders can only give advice in a few words, and the person who really makes the decision is herself.

Turning his head and looking out the window, Yan Li sighed silently.

People in the world have scriptures that are difficult to recite in their own families. Ordinary people want to live a stable and prosperous life, but encounter natural disasters, this kind of stability and peace is a luxury.

The nobles enjoy the ultimate glory and wealth of the world, but most of them have no choice in marriage, especially the marriage of their daughters. Some are used by their fathers as tools for marriage, while others are concerned about whether they will achieve great success or failure.

There are too few people who can really do whatever they want.

When she was in the South, she didn't see these things well and didn't see them much, because she spent most of her life learning how to be a good emperor. The dispute between wives and concubines of powerful families had nothing to do with her, and the jealousy between noble girls had nothing to do with her.

As for the marriage between aristocratic families, what the emperor saw was the impact that would bring after their marriage, and would not consider whether the two people who were married got together because of their feelings or interests - because none of these matters.

The balance of power and tricks is just a result, a phenomenon, and no one has the heart to ask them what they really think in their hearts.

Even if you ask, how many people will tell the truth?

After drinking a cup of tea, Yan Li was about to speak, but suddenly saw a familiar figure through the window. Her eyes were slight and she turned her head quietly to look at Ling Ning: "Miss Ling still wants to continue shopping?"

Ling Ning shook her head: "It's getting late, let's go back."

The two stood up and left the room together. Yan Li asked, "Miss Ling's heart is open?"

"That's right." Ling Ning nodded, his brows not fully relaxed, "But even if the problem is opened, it may not be too smooth between me and King Jing."

“How to say it?”

"The intrigue and greedy family is in love with greed." Ling Ning's expression was sparse and mocked, "Many people think that most military families are strong and straightforward, and they will not have too many plans. Women who marry into military families should also be enlightened and generous, and they must be much more peaceful than ordinary powerful houses."

Yan Li listened to his words and understood his meaning, "Some people are born with pride and noble character. Even if they become civil officials, they will still not change their pride."

Most people's impression of civil officials is that they are good at calculating and are addicted to power and tricks all day long, while military generals are open and honest.

But nothing is absolutely absolute.

"A military general in the Ling family, grandfather, uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle are all people who defend the country. I admire them very much." Ling Ning frowned and his voice was indifferent, "But the martial arts will fight, but there are inevitably some shortcomings in managing the family. The Ling family's inner house is actually very uneasy... Forget it, what do I do with the princess?"

Yan Li said: "It doesn't matter. Miss Ling is willing to say it, but I am willing to listen."

Ling Ning nodded and said, "I will talk to the princess in detail next time I have the chance."

"good."

The two said goodbye outside the Zhuxi Teahouse and each got on their own carriage.

When Ling Ning returned home, as soon as he stepped into the front yard, he saw the eldest aunt Wu, who was surrounded by the nanny and the maid.

After pausing under his feet, Ling Ning saluted calmly: "Auntie."

"Ling Ning, are you back?" When Wu saw Ling Ning, a warm smile suddenly appeared on his face, "My aunt happened to discuss something with you."

Ling Ning's expression remained unchanged: "If you have something to do, please tell me."

"It's about your elder sister's marriage." Wu and Ling Ning walked towards the inner courtyard together, smiling at Ling Ning as they walked, "Shuang'er is eighteen years old this year, but she has never had a suitable marriage. What I mean is, can you give King Jing's marriage to Shuang'er? In the future, my aunt will book you a better family..."
