213 Too Lazy to Deal with Such Matters (1/2)

Lu Wei looked at the Crown Princess and held her gaze. A group of servants walked outside the hall and saw the scene.

As most of them were aware that the Crown Princess and Emperor Lu Wei was about to be engaged, they thought that the Emperor of Qian Rong and the Crown Princess were flirting with each other by playing a round of the staring game.

”I never wanted this throne anyway. If it were not for my brother, I would never return to Qian Rong to take this position. You know very well why I went against my brother and got myself in this position,” Lu Wei said. His lips tilted up into a playful smile. ”In a way, you should take responsibilities of me.”

Princess Lingchen stared at the man before her with aghast. What responsibilities? He made it sound like she had done something wrong against him.

The Princess's gaze turned darker as seconds passed by. ”I never asked for your help. You were the one who wanted to go against your brother.”

Lu Wei smirked when he saw that the Princess was getting angry. He took a deep breath and exhaled loudly. ”Back then, I thought that I could pull my brother from the throne and have his young son to take his place and rule Qian Rong. Who knows the mother would be too stupid and got her son killed. I have no other choice but to take over.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

The room was silent as Lu Wei drank his tea to moisten his throat. Then, he sat quietly as he stared at the Crown Princess a while longer. ”Do you know what the ministers wanted me to do after I ascended the throne?” He saw the Princess shook her head and continued, ”They wanted me to choose an Empress and marry their daughters and granddaughters as my concubines.”

”And? What's wrong with that?”

Princess Lingchen saw nothing wrong with his words. After all, marrying a few concubines was considered as his duty as the Emperor. It was a different case for her. When she ascended the throne, Princess Lingchen will not have to marry anyone else once she had an heir.

”I am not going to live the way my father lives. Having concubines fighting for his affection and causing them to always live in fear for they might do anything that can cause them to lose their life,” Lu Wei said. His eyes darkened as he thought of the way his mother had lived before she passed away.

”So, you wanted to marry me because you did not want to be a ruler and marrying a few concubines?” The Crown Princess felt the corner of her mouth twitched.

Lu Wei quickly adjusted his mood and spoke lightly, ”I just did not want to deal with politics. I am too lazy to deal with such matters.”

”Even so, giving away Qian Rong…” she did not finish what she was going to say.

”This is not giving away a country,” Lu Wei said and smiled. ”This is what we called joining two countries.”
