Hong Yun'er looked at Xiao Yungui with some surprise. She didn't expect Xiao Yungui to say such words, but then she thought about it. Xiao Yungui did not owe Song Qingyun anything. From the beginning, Xiao Yungui was very disgusted with this fiancée, which had nothing to do with Song Qingyun himself. Although Song Qingyun was beautiful, virtuous and smart, she was Xiao Yungui's father arranged for him. This reason was enough to make Xiao Yungui resist, so Xiao Yungui never completely accepted this fiancée.

When she heard Xiao Yungui say this, Hong Yuner didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy. Since she got married and had children with Xiao Yungui, there has been an unknown guilt hidden in her heart. She always thought that she had robbed her good friend and good classmate's fiancé was the perfect third party, and she was always worried that one day Song Qingyun would suddenly appear, and how should she face Song Qingyun at that time?

So in the first time of getting married, Hong Yuner became a little paranoid and unreasonable. She severely supervised Xiao Yungui and cracked down on any woman of this era who tried to get close to Xiao Yungui. As a result, Li Xuanji, a sister who had a good relationship with her, traveled across the ocean and married a foreigner in a very desolate way.

When she saw Xiao Yungui's pain, Hong Yun'er seemed to understand his feelings again. For a man, it was such a detriment to a woman who could protect her. Hong Yun'er, tortured by guilt, began a 180-degree transformation. She continued to pay attention to the women close to Xiao Yungui, but this time she encouraged Xiao Yungui to accept them or marry them as the princess. She hoped that she would be better in her heart. She was still paranoid and thought that she was just a third party. It was already bad to steal other people's things, and it also made Xiao Yungui fall into pain. It was very inappropriate.

Although she has been a couple for many years, Hong Yuner has never told Xiao Yungui about this thorny thought. Song Qingyun is the sword of Damocles hanging on her head. Sometimes she hopes that Song Qingyun will appear, and then Xiao Yungui will marry her so that she can feel relieved. Sometimes she is worried that Song Qingyun's appearance will take away everything she has now. Between the gains and losses, Hong Yuner's temperament has changed a lot. The biggest change is that she no longer satirizes and sarcasticizes Xiao Yungui, but becomes a good wife and mother, obeying him.

Xiao Yungui naturally could not understand Hong Yuner's complex inner world. For him and all men, the woman's heart is still a needle under the sea, and this is true in any era. At the same time, for a man like Xiao Yungui with a high and powerful position, he should not study the woman's heart. He cares more about politics.

Later generations Li Ao once said arbitrarily that there are two things in the world that are the dirtiest, but men like them, one is politics and the other is women. This sentence is very biased. Women have worked hard to nurture the next generation of lives. They are glorious and great, while politics is indeed dirty things. Its filth comes from the erosion and pollution of the soul. It can completely degenerate a person under the power.

Xiao Yungui had never cared about Song Qingyun before, and now he is even less concerned. However, he is now a very large leader of the interest class. What he needs to consider is how to maximize the interests for this interest class. No matter what means he uses, whether it violates morality or not, he even asks him to give up family affection. This is the dirty thing about politics.

Xiao Yungui said that he didn't owe Song Qingyun anything, but in his heart he was thinking about how to use this matter. In his opinion, Song Qingyun was a very dangerous opponent, and she was also a top student familiar with history. Although she was not as good as Hong Yuner, the queen of Baidu in literature and history, she seemed to be no less. In addition, there was also a loyal madman Lu Sixuan, who seemed to be able to do anything for Song Qingyun.

The Qing Dynasty now still occupies more than 70% of the territory, and Song Qingyun and Lu Sixuan can naturally use more resources than the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of him and Hong Yuner. If the two of them calmly rectify the Qing Dynasty, Xiao Yungui asked himself that he was not sure to complete the feat of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty. Although Xiao Yungui did not regard overthrowing the Qing Dynasty as his ambition at the beginning, after a series of wars, efforts and sacrifices, this ideal became Xiao Yungui's political ideal, and he also became a complete political animal. Therefore, Xiao Yungui's view was that he and Song Qingyun and Lu Sixuan could not have any possible political compromise, even if his father came, it would be useless, let alone just a nominal fiancée and a so-called old classmate?

Xiao Yungui must pay attention to Song Qingyun's threat at this moment. If Xiao Yungui was not afraid of Ronglu after Lu Sixuan traveling through time, it was because Ronglu was too young and had little power. After Ronglu made a fortune or took over the power, Xiao Yungui was confident that he had already sat in the Forbidden City to drink tea. But the situation is different now. Song Qingyun is Cixi, and the political status of the Empress Dowager Cixi is incomparable to Ronglu. Although it was said that the two palaces were governing the country from behind the curtain, Xiao Yungui knew that another Empress Dowager Ci'an, who didn't even know Chinese characters, could not control Cixi. In history, Ci'an could not control Ci'an, and now it was even more impossible. After Song Qingyun completed the battle against Sushun and others in advance, her talent and scheming far exceeded that of the official master in history.

Xiao Yungui did not take Hong Yuner's inner emotional world. He picked up his pen and began to reply to Song Qingyun. Although he said he would not accept Song Qingyun as the queen, Hong Yuner reminded him. After thinking for a while, the guy looked up at Hong Yuner and said carefully: "Yun'er, when I want to reply, I should not reveal my intention to accept Qingyun as my wife for the time being. What do you think?"

Hong Yun'er has been with him for many years and knows this guy's habitual nature. Just now, her face turned red and white and thought about her own thoughts. She was suddenly interrupted by Xiao Yungui. After a moment of thinking, she had already guessed the guy's plan. Hong Yun'er's pretty face turned red, and she stood up with a terrified voice and said, "You, are you trying to deceive Qingyun's feelings and use her possible favorable feelings for you to achieve some goals?"

Xiao Yungui did not realize the word "despicable and shameless" at all, and frowned: "This is not a deception. Although I may not really want to marry her, if she can really return home anyway, I will compensate her if she does something for us in the Qing Dynasty. But then I may really be wronged by you, don't worry. Even if I marry her, my heart will still be on you."

Hong Yuner looked at Xiao Yungui with wide eyes, pointed at Xiao Yungui with bare hands, and said a few words of you in a difficult manner, but she was already filled with anger and didn't know what to say.

Xiao Yungui knew that it seemed that Hong Yuner's moral bottom line had touched Hong Yuner's moral bottom line, so he quickly spoke up and patiently explained the situation he was worried about. Although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, with the efforts of the couple, has far exceeded the national strength level of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the same period of history, and has completed basically internal unity. The situation is very good. However, the achievements made by Song Qingyun and Lu Sixuan in the Qing Dynasty were similar. What's even more terrifying is that Song Qingyun is also familiar with history and historical figures in the Qing Dynasty.

The point is quite critical. Perhaps Song Qingyun and Lu Sixuan's military talents are not as good as Xiao Yungui and Hong Yuner who were shot out by real swords and guns. But they know which famous officials and generals were appointed in the Qing Dynasty. Jiang Zhongyuan's transfer is an example. The same is true for Yuan Jiasan and Li Hongzhang, who wiped out most of the Nian Army on the Huai River. Song and Lu don't need to fight in person. They just need to make good use of the so-called famous officials and generals who revived the Tongzhi Zhong. On this basis, the resources and land they mastered were several times that of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Xiao Yungui's endless chatter made Hong Yuner feel bored. She actually felt bored. At this time, she really began to hate this dirty politics, but she still endured it. I heard Xiao Yungui continue.

"I was thinking that if Qingyun still had feelings for me, I would write back to her. I persuade her to consider whether she could do something to help us, such as transferring Jiang Zhongyuan, or leaving Li Hongzhang idle, or causing some trouble for Zeng Guofan, etc. As long as she could do this, in the future we will fight to Beijing, I will treat them well and son, and it is not impossible to marry her as a wife..."

Seeing that Xiao Yungui was still immersed in his fantasy, Hong Yuner finally interrupted coldly and couldn't bear it and said, "Will the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom agree to marry the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty?!"

Xiao Yungui was slightly stunned, but he still didn't seem to notice that Hong Yuner's aura had reached the critical point of explosion. He continued to say to himself: "This is indeed inappropriate, but we can change the pillars or change the identity of Qingyun. Anyway, there will be no insiders in the deep palace and courtyard. As long as we do it invisible, no one will know."

Hong Yuner finally couldn't help it, and she shouted sternly, "Enough!" Xiao Yungui stopped his mouth in confusion, looked at Hong Yuner in a daze, and only heard her say coldly: "You are just planning to use Qingyun. After she did those things, you will make her change her face and hide it in the deep palace. No one knows it anymore, and then you will abandon it like a piece of shabby shoes. You don't know what Qingyun wants through the whole time, you are just planning to use her feelings, right?"

Xiao Yungui recalled that women are emotional animals, and what they cannot bear the most seems to be that men use women's feelings to achieve their goals. He said aiqiai: "Didn't she want me to marry her? Then I will fulfill my father's promise back then, and I will marry her, but my heart is still with you. Isn't this good? Everyone will get what they need, and everyone will be happy."

Hong Yuner could not understand Xiao Yungui's thinking pattern in this matter. The conflict between men and women's intellectual cognition completely exposed the uneven gap between the two. From the perspective of political interests, Xiao Yungui is right, and from the perspective of moral integrity, Hong Yuner is right, but Xiao Yungui's moral bottom line is low, and Hong Yuner's emotional intelligence is too high.

After Hong Yuner's long discussion on moral integrity and women's emotional issues, Xiao Yungui felt that his head was almost blown up. He had not been quarreling with Hong Yuner for a long time, and he could not fight back for a while. Finally, he shouted angrily: "I'm not doing this for this country! Is it important for a person's emotional issues or the rise, fall, honor and disgrace of a country?!"

Xiao Yungui's sudden shout made Hong Yun'er, who was irritated, seemed to have taken the strength from her body suddenly. She softened her body and fell into a coma. Fortunately, Xiao Yungui was fragile and hurriedly hugged her delicate body, then shouted loudly to ask the medical officer of the Western Prince's Mansion to come over.

After a while, the medical officer finished the pulse for Hong Yuner who was lying on the bed and congratulated with joy: "Congratulations to His Highness the King of the West, the Queen of the West, this is a happy pulse and has been pregnant for two months."

Xiao Yungui was stunned for a moment, and then he became happy. Although they had given birth to a son, Xiao Yungui still would not think that he had many children. After receiving the medical officer, the medical officer went down to prescribe the fetal pills for Hong Yuner. Xiao Yungui happily held Hong Yuner's plain hand, looking at Hong Yuner who had woken up but was still a little bit dull, "Yun'er, we have a child again, put down your errand work first and take care of the fetus."

Hong Yuner nodded. She was very busy these days and had forgotten her period. She didn't come. This time she was pregnant, so she ignored it. Although she felt a little happy because she was pregnant, the unhappiness just now was still there, so she turned her head and ignored Xiao Yungui, just said lightly: "You can do whatever you want. I'll take care of the baby and don't want to know your dirty things anymore..."

Xiao Yungui could not fully understand the real context of a woman. Just like most men, the two creatures that ruled the earth had never reached a full consensus since the creation of the world, and even differences between husband and wife existed. So Xiao Yungui comforted him happily, and then wrote his false love letter to reply, while Hong Yun'er turned back to the Western Palace to settle her woefully. (To be continued...)
