Chapter 57 Li Zhi Returns; Wei Zheng Criticizes Cheng Yaojin
Step out of the room.
Li Lizhi and Li Jing were seen dressed as men again.
The two hid in a corner, covering their eyes with their hands, occasionally peeking at Wei Shuyu through their fingers.
Although, Wei Shuyu was just a little kid.
But the thought of him spanking them made them both feel incredibly embarrassed.
"Why are you two here again?"
Wei Shuyu looked at the two of them strangely.
"What? You can't come?"
Seeing that Wei Shuyu had already put on his shirt, Li Lizhi put her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest, and became bolder again.
"That's right, that's right."
Li Jing chimed in weakly from the side.
Wei Shuyu glanced at her, and she quickly shrank back behind Li Lizhi.
"It's not that we can't come, the key question is whether His Majesty knows about it?"
Upon seeing their attire, Wei Shuyu knew that the two had secretly slipped out of the palace again.
Upon hearing this, the two of them blushed instantly.
"We just came to ask you if you can beat Cheng Huailiang and my cousin," Li Lizhi asked, mustering her courage.
"cannot."
Wei Shuyu answered readily.
But the two of them were stunned when they heard this.
"What did you say?"
"cannot?"
"Do you know that if you lose, we'll have to marry them?"
Li Lizhi became anxious and hurriedly stepped forward to question him.
"What does this have to do with me?"
Wei Shuyu said with an indifferent expression.
"Is...is it alright?"
The two of them are complete noobs.
Upon closer reflection, eh? It seems to have nothing to do with Wei Shuyu.
Regardless of winning or losing, Wei Shuyu suffered no loss.
"Um... Shuyu, please help us out and beat them. We don't want to get married yet."
Li Lizhi immediately acted coquettishly, clinging to Wei Shuyu's arm and swaying it.
Who would have thought that this tactic of coaxing Li Shimin, which had always worked on him, would fail him?
"Let go."
Wei Shuyu ruthlessly shook him off: "Don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other?"
Li Lizhi clenched her teeth.
How dare you say that to us?
When you spanked us, why didn't you say that men and women shouldn't touch each other?
The first move failed, so I used the second move.
Li Lizhi winked at Li Jing.
Li Jing understood, and then burst into tears...
"..."
Wei Shuyu has seen it all.
None of those who can survive in the palace are simple.
These two seemingly harmless little girls are actually quite cunning when they get going.
"Big pot, big pot, I'm here..."
Just then, Choi Shin-ki burst in, yelling and shouting.
We trained for two days.
I have more energy and spirit than ever before!
Just last night, he went to Wanhuage with Fang Yi'ai to verify the results of their training over the past two days.
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu raised his hand and smacked him on the head.
"How many times have I told you not to yell in the morning? My mother is still resting!"
"oh."
Choi Shin-ki scratched his head, looking aggrieved, but his eyes lit up when he saw Lee Kyung.
However, Li Jingyi stopped crying as soon as he saw him.
With a whoosh, he slipped behind Li Lizhi.
This seemingly dim-witted idiot spanked me last time.
"Princess Qinghou?"
Choi Shin-ki greeted him in a cheeky manner.
Li Lizhi quickly stepped forward, shielding Li Jing behind her: "Didn't you see me?"
"Oh, Princess Chang Le, I get it. You need to talk to Big Brother, right? You guys keep your conversation going, Princess Qing Hou and I won't bother you."
Choi Shin-ki replied with an air of seriousness.
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu smacked him on the head with his other hand.
"The brain is a good thing; use it less often," Wei Shuyu said helplessly.
"Big brother, big brother, I'm here..."
Another loud, carefree voice rang out from outside the door.
Turning around, who else could it be but Fang Yi'ai?
Dressed in a flamboyant outfit, a long robe in red and green...
"Big brother, you have no idea, yesterday Shenji and I showed off our prowess at the Myriad Flower Pavilion..."
The words came to an abrupt halt.
He blinked, staring at Li Lizhi and Li Jing...
"Who are these two brothers? Never mind, it's not important. Tonight it's my treat, let's go to Wan Hua Ge. As long as we've been to Wan Hua Ge together, we're brothers!"
Fang Yi'ai spoke boldly, and immediately went to give the two of them a big hug...
*Smack*
Uncle Wei raised his hand and smacked him on the head.
Clap clap clap.
Choi Shin-ki raised his hand and smacked him three times on the head.
"Turtle Cui, are you looking for death?"
It's one thing for Wei Shuyu to beat him; he's already used to it.
Choi Shin-ki dared to hit him, and hit him three times in a row? What does that mean?
Do you really think I, Fang, am made of clay?
Just as he rolled up his sleeves, intending to teach Choi Shin-ki a lesson, he heard Choi Shin-ki say leisurely, "They are Princess Chang Le and Princess Qing Hou."
Um?
Changle? Qinghe?
Fang Yi'ai was stunned for a moment, then a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
He straightened his clothes and stepped forward politely.
"My name is Fang Yi'ai. I have met the two princesses."
Just as Li Lizhi was about to say that there was no need for such formalities, Fang Yi'ai did not give her the chance.
Fang Yi'ai continued to speak...
"I have long heard of Princess Gaoyang's unparalleled beauty and virtuous character... I wonder if the two princesses could introduce us?"
Wei Shuyu's eye twitched.
So, history hasn't changed after all?
And isn't "virtuous and gentle" a compliment for someone who adheres to traditional womanly virtues? Is it really appropriate to describe someone like that?
"Gao Yang?"
Li Lizhi was stunned.
I thought Choi Shin-ki was simple-minded enough, but this Fang Yi-ai is even more insane.
"Exactly."
Fang Yi'ai nodded.
Chang Le belongs to the eldest brother.
Qinghe is a divine place.
Gaoyang is mine!
Fang Yi'ai was calculating his plans meticulously.
Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin, and others each had their own calculations regarding the marriage alliance.
However, my friends also have their own ways of thinking.
Everyone has their own ideas when they're young.
"Alright." Wei Shuyu pulled them behind him: "Stop fooling around, it's time to go to the military camp."
Tomorrow is the day of the competition, so he must prepare today.
Meanwhile, in the imperial palace, Wei Zheng was severely criticizing Cheng Yaojin.
To resolve the issue of Cheng Huaimo being used, Cheng Yaojin single-handedly stormed the Eastern Palace...
He accidentally broke Li Chengqian's favorite vase.
They accidentally burned Li Chengqian's favorite calligraphy and painting.
"Accidentally," they all beat up Li Chengqian's eunuchs...
In short, many things just happened to happen to come together by chance.
Li Shimin asked him why he did this.
Cheng Yaojin answered honestly that he simply didn't want his son to get involved in the struggle for the throne.
After learning the whole story, Li Shimin only gave a few perfunctory reprimands.
but……
How could Wei Zheng possibly let this go after he heard about it?
“Your Majesty, Cheng Yaojin has trespassed into the Eastern Palace and disregarded the dignity of the royal family. He deserves to be executed!” Wei Zheng bowed.
"I'm lost," Cheng Yaojin said, raising his head.
"Refusing to plead guilty is an even more serious offense!"
"His Majesty hasn't blamed you, so why are you in such a hurry?"
"Let's just say you got lost. What about the damage you did to the Crown Prince's property?"
"I didn't mean to!"
"Nonsense, how could you accidentally damage more than a dozen items?"
"Can't I?"
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is the future heir apparent. Cheng Yaojin barged into the Eastern Palace and caused trouble. If he is not punished, what will happen if everyone follows suit? Where is the dignity of the royal family? Where is the dignity of the Crown Prince?"
Wei Zheng no longer acknowledged Cheng Yaojin and bowed to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was in a real bind.
Here we go again, here we go again...
I wasn't even planning to punish Zhijie, so why are you getting involved?
The struggle between the Crown Prince and the Prince of Wei for the throne cannot be discussed openly.
Li Shimin was truly suffering in silence, unable to express his bitterness.
