Chapter 1297
When Rong Jiu passed by, Su Guogong had already left, and Emperor Chu frowned deeply.

"Father," Rong Jiu called softly.

Emperor Chu looked up at her, pointed to a chair beside him, and signaled her to sit down: "In the early court, Mu Xiang asked to play Li Concubine, but Xun'er refused. What do you think about this matter?"

Rong Jiu was not surprised, Su Guogong came to see Emperor Chu for nothing more than Chu Xun's marriage.

"Father is going to order Seventh Brother to choose a concubine?"

"Xun'er has passed the age of weak crown, but there is not even a woman by his side. There are rumors in the market that Xun'er has a hidden disease. If this matter is used by someone with a heart, it will damage Xun'er's reputation. I'm afraid it will shake his position as the crown prince, if the position of the crown prince is unstable, the state will inevitably be in turmoil."

Among the royal family, there has never been anyone's feelings that are not involved in the entanglement of interests, but Rong Jiu hopes that the person who will accompany Chu Xun will be a person who loves each other.

Emperor Chu saw her silent for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Xiao Jiu thinks it's inappropriate to choose a concubine?"

Rong Jiu pursed the corners of his lips slightly, and said calmly: "Seventh Brother is not young, he should know about Li Concubine, but he hasn't met anyone who falls in love with him."

"Since ancient times, there has been no balance between love and power? If Xun'er was just the king of Chu, it would be fine, but now he is the crown prince, his marriage, his crown prince and concubine, can only focus on the country and society."

"I don't think that you have to use your feelings to stabilize the throne. If you can't be with the one you love for the rest of your life, what if you become the lord of the world? Seventh brother is tired enough to deal with state affairs every day. , do you want to fight wits with the concubine again when you return to the harem?"

There was a moment of sadness in Emperor Chu's eyes, and after a long silence, he slowly said: "This is the glory of the emperor, and it is also the sorrow of the emperor. Since he chose to take this path, he has to bear all this. Feelings are precious. But if a woman is more important than the country, not only the concubines in the harem, but even the officials in the court cannot tolerate it."

Rong Jiu stared fixedly at Emperor Chu, and asked, "Isn't it true that an emperor can't have love in his heart?"

Emperor Chu closed his eyes slightly to hide the tiredness and sadness in his eyes, and sighed softly from his lips: "It's not that the emperor cannot love people, but that the state is in front of him, anyone and everything will become insignificant, and he can even be sacrificed easily. "

Rong Jiu suddenly didn't know what to say.

The imperial palace is the most prosperous and beautiful place in the world, but it is also the dirtiest and coldest place.

After a long time, Emperor Chu opened his eyes and asked Rong Jiu: "Who do Xiao Jiu think is the most worthy of being a princess?"

"I'm not Seventh Brother, I won't make choices for him, and I can't make decisions for him. If Royal Father insists on choosing a concubine for Seventh Brother, you should ask Seventh Brother. Even if you can't get married with the one you love, But at least, they should be able to respect each other as guests."

After Rong Jiu finished speaking, she got up and wanted to leave. The Emperor of Chu called her back: "Born in the emperor's family, no one can act recklessly. Xun'er has no children so far. The choice of concubine is imperative. You and Xun'er With deep feelings, he must know better than Concubine Shu what kind of woman is most suitable for him."

Rong Jiu turned sideways and said quietly: "The continuation of the royal family does not depend on how many princes there are, but whether the princes are worthy of great positions, and whether they are brothers and sisters. Those women who enter the palace as concubines do it for the benefit of the family and for themselves. The status of the court, the court and the harem are constantly fighting, causing blood to flow like a river, and the bones are piled up. The sorrow of the royal family is due to this."

Emperor Chu was shocked by her words: "There are no concubines in the sixth palace, and the courtiers will not agree."
