Chapter 34: Miss You When You See Me
There was a crowd of people standing at the palace gate.
Seeing him coming, several young men came forward, "Seventh Brother!" "Seventh Brother."
He was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a polite smile on his face, which was different from Li Chang's intimacy.
The chief eunuch Liu Su bowed with a smile on his face: "Your Highness the Prince of Qi has worked hard. The Emperor has been waiting for a long time and sent this old servant to welcome you!"
All the chief stewards around the emperor came to greet him, but the King of Qi just sat on his horse without moving.
The twin guards were named Zhao Zuo and Zhao You. They jumped off their horses and quickly stood in front of the black horse. Zhao Zuo pulled the reins, and Li Jing slowly got off the horse, took off the sword from his waist, and Zhao You took it.
Li Jing glanced around at a few people, including Liu Su, and nodded gently, "Everyone, is everything okay?" This condescending attitude caused dissatisfaction among everyone.
But they didn't dare to show it, "Okay! All good!"
"Seventh brother, father is waiting for you in the palace!"
Li Chang enthusiastically guided: "Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother, let's go!"
The Fourth Prince Li Yun silently looked at Li Jing's arrogant look. He was obviously his brother, yet he still had to run to greet him!
He sighed in his heart: He followed Li Zhen when he was young. When Concubine Dong was favored, even the Queen had to avoid her. Following Li Zhen, he could benefit from it. If he wanted to benefit from it, he had to say bad things about the former Crown Prince. As a result, he was scolded by Ming An and beaten by Li Jing.
Afterwards, it turned out that it was all in vain!
The mother tried her best to persuade him, and she finally gave in.
Are you convinced? The result...
...In the end, they all died! You all deserved it.
Nowadays, he just follows the crowd and doesn't rely on anything else.
I just hope that the bastard in front of me can stir up bloody storms again, fight to the death, and I will be the ultimate beneficiary...
Li Jing's arrogant attitude did not affect the smile on the eunuch Liu's face. He led the way with a slight bow and reported to him the various ways in which the emperor showed that he missed his son.
Standing at the entrance of the main hall was the crown prince Li Huan, and beside him was his best friend, the ninth prince Li Pu.
The prince wore a golden crown and a dark purple sable cape.
Seeing Li Jing, he took two steps forward and said, "Seventh brother! You are finally back!" His voice was full of joy.
Li Jing's expression did not change, and he saluted slightly: "Fifth Brother!"
"Seventh brother, you haven't returned for more than two years. You have worked so hard for our father and the court!"
Among the emperor's fifteen sons, apart from the deceased Li Zhen, Li Huan was the most handsome. He had a straight nose, a square mouth, eyes like stars, and teeth like snow. He was tall and graceful, and had an elegant demeanor.
Not to mention that sincere and bright smile, which always makes people trust and like him for no reason.
The Ninth Prince Li Pu felt uneasy when he saw Li Jing, and his whole body began to ache.
He had his arm broken by the bastard in front of him. It was quite serious and left sequelae.
Until now, whenever my arm hurts, the weather will change immediately! It's more accurate than the Imperial Astronomical Observatory!
This hatred will never end!
He tried his best to hide the malice in his heart and looked Li Jing up and down.
He survived many battles and survived the hard times! He even returned victorious! God is so blind!
The only legitimate son of the original queen, he has a high status.
With so many contributions, he is very capable.
Pretty impressive, right?!
Oh! What a pity! No matter what achievements you have made, they are all for the sake of the prince in front of you. The greater your achievements, the more miserable your death will be!
In the past few years, the Crown Prince has been valued by his father and supported by court officials, and his position has been stable.
My father's body... is shaking like a candle in the wind. As long as the prince doesn't make any serious mistakes, he will not be able to escape this position!
Just wait for me to help the prince ascend the throne. Then my only request will be to cut off your bones and skin you to relieve the hatred in my heart.
His mind was full of fantasies about the scene of the slow execution of Li Jing: how he would beg, how he would kneel at his feet and whimper like a dog, and howl and despair in the end... The picture was clear and vivid.
Therefore, the look he gave Li Jing also became cruel and vicious.
Suddenly, Li Jing's narrow eyes swept over him coldly...
Li Pu was suddenly shocked and broke out in a cold sweat from head to toe. His whole body ached. He quickly gave an innocent flattering smile.
Li Jing gave Li Pu an undisguised look of contempt, then turned around and entered the palace accompanied by the crown prince.
The emperor sat there, watching his first wife's son come in.
His dark red face, muscular body, and domineering aura were completely different from the gentle and elegant prince next to him!
This is the only son left to him by his first wife, Zhao Nianci.
The entanglement of longing and grief made his old eyes wet...
Li Jing had taken off his hat and cloak, and was wearing a military uniform. He walked in front of me with long legs and big strides, oblivious to the people around him...
"Your son, I am honored to meet you, father." He knelt very close to the emperor.
The emperor was still in a daze...
This son is the only person he needs to consider before deciding how to treat him.
When he was seriously ill last year, he was thinking about it the most. In his early years, he had experienced success and failure in his bid for the throne, but it was the same in every dynasty, so there was nothing to think about.
After ascending the throne, he held great power, and although there were some turbulences, he managed to get through them.
The Empress Dowager is not my biological mother, and we are all just guests, so we should not make things difficult for each other.
Queen Zhao was the first wife, she was generous and steady, and she was pleasing to the eye in every aspect.
Now Queen Jiang is even more reserved and cautious.
The two concubines, the elder and younger Dong Guifei, whom he loved the most, were all concerned about the same things, and he didn't need to worry about their feelings.
As for his children...the ones in his mind were Princess Ming'an and Prince Li Zhen.
He personally raised this girl and boy. One was reckless and bright. The other was bold and arrogant. He raised them to be the people he hoped to be, but could never become.
And this bastard in front of me!
God knows how happy Nianci was when she gave birth to the twin boy and girl for him!
But if Ming'an is a gift from God to himself, then this bastard is a punishment from God!
He beat Li Zhen! He beat her on the ground! Her eyes were black and blue, and she almost went blind!
That's the son I love the most!
The emperor's face seemed to show both joy and sadness.
...But in the end, they all died. The queen he respected, the concubine Dong Guifei whom he loved the most, Ming An and Li Zhen whom he regarded as treasures...all died.
As the emperor, your words are as powerful as gold, and you can control the life and death of people in the world!
But he couldn't keep them...
That deep hatred and feeling of powerlessness are the greatest regret and humiliation in this life.
The arrogance in the son in front of him has only become more noble and profound as he grows older, and has not diminished in the slightest.
"Your Highness?" Liu Dajian reminded with a smile: "Your Highness's physique, are you also surprised by it?"
Li Jing lowered his chin slightly, lowered his narrow eyes, and pursed his thin lips. There was no trace of admiration or respect on his face.
His broad shoulders and strong chest were full of tension. Even when he was kneeling in front of her, she could still feel his tough attitude.
I am gentle and wise, and Nianci is gentle and elegant, so how could I give birth to such a thing!
"Get up! Sit!"
"Thank you, father!" Li Jing stood up and sat down with the emperor.
The prince readily accepted and sat opposite him.
