Chapter 1245 The Last Harbor
Xiao Ruxun came to Kunning Palace, and saw Caiyun hugging Xiao Zhenwu, who was only over one year old, with a motherly radiance on her face.

He smiled.

Now both Zhenbang and Yingying have started to study, and they are studying systematically under the guidance of the teacher. Caiyun can just spare time to take care of Xiao Zhenwu, and Xiao Ruxun often takes time to visit Caiyun and Zhenwu.

This is the reason why Xiao Ruxun doesn't want to accept concubines. He doesn't really want to turn his home into a harem. A home with colorful clouds is the last harbor for his soul. Here, he can find himself who has not changed from the beginning until now.

Caiyun is his last spiritual sustenance. From the beginning to the end, Caiyun has not changed, and has been quietly staying behind him, taking care of the housework for him, taking care of the children for him, and avoiding his worries.

She has not changed, she is still the same.

Only with her, Xiao Ruxun can find his original self, and he has not forgotten his future self. Only here, Xiao Ruxun can feel that he has not completely become an iron-blooded and cold emperor who only knows conspiracy and calculation.

He couldn't even imagine what would happen to him if he lost Caiyun one day, he could only do his best to take care of Caiyun, give her the best, eat the best, wear the best and use the best, and don't allow her to suffer any harm .

The bloody turmoil of the previous dynasty stopped at the Qianqing Palace, and the Kunning Palace will be his warm harbor in the future, a warm harbor that does not allow anyone to disturb him, and he will kill anyone who dares to cross the line.

No matter how busy you are, you have to spend at least one night a week with Caiyun and your father. The family sits together and eats a simple home-cooked meal. The family is like an ordinary family, happy.

Don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about power and strategy, don't talk about conquest, don't talk about political disputes, just talk about family affection.

Examine Zhenbang's knowledge with his father to test whether he is lazy or slack.

Ask about Yingying's life, whether she is happy in the palace, what is not happy about it, and if there is anything Daddy can do for you.

See if Xiao Zhenwu is doing well, whether he is fat, whether his crying is loud enough, and whether his calves are strong enough.

Chat with my father, talk about what books my father has read recently, what new insights he has, what he has written, and whether there is anything he can teach Xiao Ruxun.

At night, he sleeps with Caiyun in the Kunning Palace, and talks to each other about whether there is anything Caiyun wants, is there anything he wants to do, and if so, no matter how busy he is, he will spare time to accompany Caiyun Do.

Everyone around him will change. The brothers who fought together in the past will change after being high and powerful. The friends who were once connected with each other will also change after their positions change. As a lonely emperor, he is doomed to be lonely and unable to obtain true friendship.

Xiao Ruxun also gradually realized this feeling. Until now, he didn't care much about the life-and-death brotherhood in the army. What he cared about was how to maintain balance and stability, how to ensure the combat effectiveness and loyalty of the army, and how to put their lives and deaths together. in the palm of your hand.

Those brothers who have walked with him in the past, if anyone threatened his status or violated his bottom line, he would kill him without hesitation.

Really, without hesitation, he was mentally prepared.

Only Caiyun has not changed from the beginning to the end.

Xiao Ruxun is extremely attached to her, yes, attached to her.

Because he felt that he had become too cruel and ruthless, he naturally yearned for Caiyun who had been gentle and kind and silently dedicated to him, snuggling with Caiyun, Xiao Ruxun could regain the time of the past and fill the void in his heart.

He used to think that power could fill all the gaps, but now he discovered that no matter how powerful the power is, there are gaps that cannot be filled.

So this only love is something that can fill the void in his heart.

Xiao Ruxun felt that without Caiyun's love, the palace would become deserted and there would be nothing left.

So he didn't want to concubine, and he didn't want to let other strange women who only please him and ask for gifts from him appear, tarnishing the harbor of his heart.

Yang Yinglong's daughter, as well as the women of the Japanese royal family, were just playthings brought into the palace out of political needs.

There will be no status, no future, and no children.

Their existence, on the one hand, is for political needs, and on the other hand, it is for catharsis.

To vent the ugliest and darkest part of his heart that would never be revealed in front of Caiyun.

Xiao Ruxun felt that this was probably the ugliest and darkest part of being a human being.

This part should not belong to Kunning Palace, nor should it belong to this warm harbor.

Caiyun's life is very simple, accompany Xiao Ruxun, manage the uncomplicated palace affairs, review the accounts, reward or punish some palace people, take care of the children, educate the children, that's all, nothing else.

She felt that she was still living a life that was not much different from before, but her name had changed, from Mistress of the Xiao Mansion, to Countess, to Marquis, then to Duchess, and finally Queen.

The name changed, but she never felt that something had changed in herself, she felt that she was still the same.

Of course she knew what Xiao Ruxun had done and experienced in the previous dynasty, but every time Xiao Ruxun came to her side, he always had a warm smile, and she was the same as when he was just married. love.

She knew that Xiao Ruxun needed a hug and a warm support.

No matter how strong and iron-blooded a man is, he will also need warmth. She must do this well so that her husband will not become too ruthless, so that he can at least enjoy family life like a normal person.

For Xiao Ruxun's disapproval of the concubine, and even the denigration of the courtiers in order to defend her, Caiyun was very moved. In all dynasties, there are very few emperors who can do this for a queen and a woman.

She felt that God had cared for her too much, allowing her to get a husband who loved her so much, valued her, cared for her and believed in her.

She felt that this was her greatest luck as a woman.

To be honest, even if Xiao Ruxun wanted to accept concubines and more women, she would not object. She didn't think she had any reason to object. Being in the royal family, the word love seemed extravagant, or superfluous, power Throughout the royal family, what is love?
Xiao Ruxun gave her enough love to make her feel happy even in the deep palace compound. Compared with the women in the palace of all dynasties, she is really lucky.

As long as she is still the queen, his only wife, and can give her love, she really doesn't care whether Xiao Ruxun will accept concubines or want more women.

Besides, the emperor is rich all over the world, what can he not get?
Caiyun even thought about it rather pessimistically.

So when Xiao Ruxun talked to her about Yang Yinglong's daughter and the women of the Japanese royal family, Caiyun didn't overreact. The first thing she thought of was——

"Will they hide evil intentions to take revenge on Xun Lang? Xun Lang, these women must be trained well before approaching them."
