"You are the oldest among all the princes in the palace. Your mother has always been low-key and doesn't like to go out, but you actually had such inappropriate thoughts." Li Yuanjing scolded coldly.
Li Chengxun lowered his head, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
Heart beating wildly!
Li Chengxun thought in horror, my father has found out! As expected, the court situation could not be hidden from my father’s eyes! My mother was too naive. She actually thought she could hide it from my father.
Li Chengxun stammered, "I know that I am not as talented as my eighth and ninth brothers, so I have never thought of seizing the throne. But I have tried my best to dissuade you, but mother is still confused. I have no choice but to ask for forgiveness from father."
Li Yuanjing snorted coldly.
Li Chengxun's body trembled.
Li Yuanjing said: "I will deal with Concubine Qiao and the Liu family. As for you, you know you are not as good as your two brothers, and you don't work hard to improve yourself. You hide in the room all day playing with wood, you don't act like a prince at all!"
Li Chengxun shrank his neck and whispered: "My child really likes woodworking..."
Li Yuanjing angrily rebuked: "How dare you say that! The princes of Daqing are all talented in both civil and military affairs. They will all be in the court and assist the emperor in the future. You play with wood all day long, what future do you have!"
Li Chengxun didn't dare to say a word.
Seeing this, Shen Wei poured a cup of tea and handed it to Li Yuanjing, saying patiently: "The Third Prince has a kind character. He doesn't like women or money, and he has never been harsh on palace maids. I think the Third Prince is a good child. This year, on Leyou's birthday, the Third Prince made a red sandalwood dressing table for Leyou. It is exquisitely crafted, and Leyou likes it very much."
Over the years, Shen Wei has been secretly observing the princes in the harem.
Li Chengxun was a kind-hearted child. He was not interested in imperial power and wealth, nor did he have the extravagance and decadence of a rich young man. He was just obsessed with carpentry.
Shen Wei had seen the woodworking crafts made by Li Chengxun, which were very delicate.
"Throughout history, has there ever been a prince doing carpentry work every day?" Li Yuanjing frowned, but his brows gradually softened.
Li Chengxun was sweating profusely and subconsciously looked at Chen Wei for help.
He knew that as long as the Queen Mother spoke, his father would definitely consider it seriously.
Shen Wei received Li Chengxun's gaze, and then whispered to Li Yuanjing: "Last year, a palace in the East Garden collapsed and it was difficult to renovate. It was the Third Prince who came up with a renovation plan and even drew the woodworking plan himself."
"Building bridges, embankments and dams requires the participation of top-notch craftsmen. In the future, the Third Prince can go to the Ministry of Works, where he will have a place to display his expertise."
There are no useless people in the world, they just haven't found a reasonable place to be placed.
