The seventh year of the Zhenguan era. With a thunderous bang, I transmigrated and became Wei Shuyu.
As the beloved son of Wei Zheng, shouldn't I be helping my father solve his problems?
Chapter 130 Wu Qiqi's Dialogue with Li Chengqian
"Big pot, something terrible has happened!"
The three were discussing the salt when Choi Shin-ki's distinctive voice rang out from outside the door.
How did you two get in?
Wei Shuyu was surprised. Could it be that he had beaten up the people from the Censorate again?
"Big brother, what's wrong with your eyesight?"
Choi Shin-ki angrily pulled out a document: "See this? This is the Supreme Head's warrant!"
Wei Shuyu took it and looked at it...
Goodness, a stamp has been put on the white paper.
With this seal, except for certain important regions, the two goods can basically travel freely throughout the world.
If the retired emperor urgently needs someone's help, who would dare to stop him?
If you delay important matters, I'll take your head...
"What's the matter that you're in such a hurry for?" Wei Shuyu asked.
"I almost forgot..."
Choi Shin-ki slapped his forehead: "Big brother, do you know who we saw in the palace?"
Wei Shuyu raised her hand, and Cui Shenji quickly added, "Qiqi, we've seen Qiqi!"
"Fang Hou took Qi Qi into the palace."
"So what?"
"Yeah, so what?"
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu smacked him on the head with his other hand.
They're always making a lot of noise, but they never use their brains.
"I'm sorry, please excuse my poor appearance."
Wei Shuyu said to Chu Suiliang and Ma Zhou.
"It's alright. Since there's nothing else, let's go to the Ministry of Personnel first," Ma Zhou replied with a smile.
A certain place in the palace.
The pavilions and waterside terraces are elegant and beautiful, the stone steps and long corridors lead to secluded spots, and the birds and fish create a wonderful atmosphere.
Wu Qiqi sat by the pond, swinging her legs back and forth.
Behind him, Li Chengqian watched this scene with a look of disgust.
"Wu Qiqi, don't you think it's dirty?" Li Chengqian shouted angrily.
"If you think it's dirty, you can leave," Wu Qiqi said nonchalantly.
Then he took out the lollipop, carefully tore open the wrapper, and happily licked it.
Choi Shin-ki and his buddy aren't smart enough to fool Wei Shu-yu out of his lollipop.
Wu Qiqi got her in just a few words.
"You have no manners when you eat or sit." Li Chengqian snorted coldly.
When he heard Empress Changsun say yesterday that she intended for him to marry Wu Qiqi, he thought he had misheard.
He had seen Wu Qiqi's performance in the imperial court.
Very intelligent!
Ultimately, Wu Qiqi couldn't offer him any help in his career!
If Wu Shihuo had not been dismissed, Li Chengqian might have reconsidered.
But now...
Looking at Wu Qiqi sitting by the pond, completely oblivious to manners, how could she be worthy of being his Crown Princess?
"Then I'll leave?"
Wu Qiqi made a move to get up.
"no……"
Li Chengqian quickly stopped him.
Empress Zhangsun gave him a death order: he must capture Wu Qiqi.
"Would you be willing to become my concubine?" Li Chengqian asked bluntly.
"I don't want to."
Wu Qiqi refused without even thinking.
"It's not up to you." Li Chengqian paced back and forth a few times. "I need to report to the Empress Dowager. You must agree to this."
"No, no, I won't agree..."
Wu Qiqi shook her head: "If you dare to bully me, I'll go and complain to the Empress!"
"Are you threatening me?"
A hint of ferocity flashed in Li Chengqian's eyes.
"Aren't you threatening me?"
Wu Qiqi, with a lollipop in her mouth, looked at Li Chengqian with a cute expression.
"Don't think that just because you have the Empress Dowager backing you up, I won't dare to touch you."
Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes: "You are just the daughter of a disgraced official; even if you die, not many people will notice."
"Your Highness, let me remind you, my father is not a criminal; he was merely dismissed from his official post, but his title remains!"
Wu Qiqi took the lollipop out of her mouth and puffed out her cheeks angrily.
"So what?"
Li Chengqian laughed loudly: "Do you think a title would be passed down to a concubine's daughter like you?"
"Behave yourself and go with me to the Empress Dowager's palace to put on a few shows. Who knows, in a few years I might still give you a chance to serve her in bed. Otherwise..."
Wu Qiqi was very angry, and her face was pale.
But suddenly, she chuckled...
"Your Highness, are you sure you want to treat me like this?"
Um?
Wu Qiqi's sudden change puzzled Li Chengqian.
"What do you want to say?" Li Chengqian asked warily.
"Let me tell you, I'm not someone to be trifled with."
Wu Qiqi raised her little head: "If you touch me, I'll get Wei Shuyu to beat you up."
Wei...Wei Shuyu?
I thought you had some powerful backer, but it turns out you're just a little kid?
"Go and call him."
Li Chengqian laughed heartily: "I'm standing right here. Give him a hundred lives and see if he dares to hit me."
In the distance, Empress Zhangsun watched the two chatting animatedly, both with smiles on their faces, and nodded with satisfaction.
"How about adding Choi Shin-ki?" Wu Qiqi asked with a smile.
Li Chengqian snorted coldly.
It's fine if you don't mention Choi Sin-ki, but it makes me angry as soon as you do.
It's one thing for Cui Shenji to be a traitor, but he also betrayed Li Shimin by sending him to beat up Wei Shuyu.
As a result, he was severely beaten by Li Shimin.
"Just a not-so-bright idiot," Li Chengqian replied dismissively.
Where is Fang Yi'ai?
"He's good for nothing, good for neither literature nor martial arts, just a piece of trash who gets played like a fool by Qingque." Li Chengqian remained quite disdainful.
Where is Qin Shandao?
"Just a little brat whose right to inherit a title was stripped by Qin Qiong." Li Chengqian didn't take him seriously at all.
"What if they join forces?" Wu Qiqi asked with a smile.
Um?
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian's expression turned serious.
Individually, these four people are utterly useless...
But upon closer reflection, their father wielded immense power and influence throughout the entire imperial court!
Civil official: Fang Xuanling.
Military general: Qin Shubao.
Aristocratic family: Cui Yixuan.
Troll: Wei Xuancheng.
"If that's still not enough..."
Wu Qiqi pretended to be deep in thought and said, "What about adding the Imperial Academy's army?"
Swish.
Li Chengqian finally changed his expression.
Choi Shin-ki, that idiot, may be stupid, but he does have one redeeming quality...
Stubborn!
What does it mean to be stubborn?
That means once you've set your mind on something, you absolutely must get it done!
Choi Shin-ki aims to dominate the Imperial Academy.
We will definitely do it!
If one time isn't enough, then two... ten times!
As the eldest son of the Cui family, he had both money and power...
He can beat people ruthlessly, but others dare not hit him hard.
Among the younger generation, besides the Cheng family, there are also the eldest sons of the five surnames and seven noble families. Who would dare to lay a heavy hand on Cui Shenji?
Even Li Chengqian wouldn't dare!
However, Wei Shuyu was too ruthless, and he left Cui Shenji with a deep-seated trauma.
The most terrifying thing was the Imperial Academy army!
It's important to know that there are strict requirements for studying at the Imperial College.
The official rank of the elder in the family must not be lower than the third rank, or be a junior member of a top noble family.
Perhaps it's not clear yet.
But what if we wait ten or twenty years to see...
This group of people are the pillars of the government!
"Would they really turn against me for your sake?"
Li Chengqian's smile faded, but so did his contempt.
"No way..."
Wu Qiqi tilted her head and thought for a moment.
"Then why are you pretending to be such a big shot?" Li Chengqian was furious.
Wu Qiqi licked the lollipop and said with a grin...
"But I can introduce them to the King of Wei!"
