Shen Xihe: …
"You don't care about your reputation anymore?" Shen Xihe lowered his eyes and looked at him.
Xiao Huayong's meaning was very clear, that is, he wanted to maintain the reputation of "strong woman and weak man" between them for a lifetime.
"Reputation?" Xiao Huayong laughed softly, "When have I ever cared about these intangible and invisible things? It's good that Yoyo doesn't care."
Although Shen Xihe will be in power in the future, his reputation will not be good, and Shen Xihe may also be known as a hen that crows at dawn.
Shen Xihe suddenly felt a little depressed: "Why is this happening?"
"For our future peace." Xiao Huayong squeezed her hand, "If you are in power, no one will dare to touch the northwest. Even if you ask Shen to step down and send someone to take over the northwest, as long as you are there, everyone will do their best for the northwest.
If I were in power, their thoughts would be very different, and they might even develop thoughts that they shouldn’t have, alienating the relationship between you and me.”
They are not an ordinary couple. There are too many things involved behind the emperor and empress. These things will make countless people rush to their deaths and do everything they can for their own interests.
What Xiao Huayong could ensure was that he could firmly trust Shen Xihe amidst all these conspiracies and intrigues, but he could not ensure whether Shen Xihe would treat him in this way. Even if Shen Xihe really treated him in this way, he did not want some people to force Shen Xihe to choose between her family and her husband just because the couple were equally matched.
These things are still very far away at the moment, but Xiao Huayong has to take them seriously. With the intelligence of the couple, they are not easily fooled. However, Xiao Huayong does not want these things to happen. Even if he cannot separate them, he cannot also erode the love between husband and wife.
It would be better to kill this possibility from the beginning. The throne was snatched from Your Majesty by Shen Xihe. He was just a puppet supported by his wife's family to the throne. The power is in the hands of the Queen, and people's hearts will naturally favor Shen Xihe.
Knowing what he was thinking, Shen Xihe felt even more irritated, feeling uncomfortable: "Do you know... what are you talking about? Have you thought about the consequences?"
"I am extremely sober." Xiao Huayong's eyes were as gentle as the spring breeze, "Yo Yo, I know that the biggest obstacle between you and me is the future."
The future is unpredictable, people's hearts are easily changed, and they and their spouses stand at the center of power. Although Xiao Huayong feels uncomfortable about this, he also understands Shen Xihe's concerns. If he were in Shen Xihe's shoes, he would be like Shen Xihe.
"You don't dare to believe it, but I want to believe it." Xiao Huayong's black eyes were firm and deep.
Let him be the person who has this faith without a doubt, and believe that no matter how honored or powerful he is, Shen Xihe will not be swallowed up and wiped out by power, and become the person who abandons him because of power.
At this moment, a sour feeling flashed through Shen Xihe's eyes. She was shocked and looked at Xiao Huayong, unable to recover: "You..."
"I am willing to be a puppet in your hands and be controlled by you." Xiao Huayong wrapped his broad fingers around her hand, his tone full of solemn trust.
For a moment, Shen Xihe didn't know what to say. He opened his mouth, but all the words that came out of his mouth disappeared without a trace.
"These are my expectations and arrangements for our future. Yoyo, you don't need to think too much about it. When I have fulfilled my words in the future, it won't be too late to think about how to treat me." Xiao Huayong was already familiar with Shen Xihe's intentions. Seeing that she was confused and hesitant, he retreated to advance, "To have a chance to fulfill our promise, you and I have to stand to the end, otherwise everything will be empty talk.
