Li Chengyu looked at Li Xiuzhu and asked with a playful look on his face, "Does the prince consort think that the emperor is not worth a word from you?"

Li Xiuzhu hadn't spoken yet, but Li Liuli didn't tolerate him.

You have to know that as Li Kuo's favorite little princess, she could not make her own decisions on her marriage, and even her brother the crown prince had to give her some approval.

Li Liuli's eyes widened, and she stepped forward and pointed at the big character for longevity at the top of the scroll and said, "Third brother, are you blind? Can't you see such a big character for longevity?"

Li Kuo's heart moved and he looked at the big characters. Was this written by Li Xiuzhu?

In fact, he was just enlightened by Li Chengyu and was slightly dissatisfied with Li Xiuzhu.

Of course, he didn't say much. What if the child prepared a gift for him? Although he didn't see him present it.

"Is your sister trying to find a name to talk to you because she wants to expose your brother?"

"Haha, Third Brother's eyesight is really not very good. How about asking the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital to take a look at Third Brother?"

"Didn't Third Brother see that the character 寸 in the character 寿 is a little different?"

Following Li Liuli's words, everyone was startled and looked at the "Cun" character on the character for longevity.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this. This word "寸" looked very strange, as if it didn't look like a word.

Li Kuo looked at that Cun and immediately understood.

This inch is very straight, but it has joints like a bamboo.

The curved part does not look like a hook, but like the dot, it looks like a bamboo leaf.

In addition, the horizontal line is oddly thin and narrow, with the two ends curled up and curved like a goose spreading its wings, just like the bamboo sticks on the pillar.

It's thoughtful. Regardless of its meaning, the word "longevity" alone is better than many good gifts.

Not only Li Kuo noticed it, but everyone who looked closely noticed it, too. However, no one expected that Li Xiuzhu would leave his name in this way.

Looking at everyone's gazes, Li Xiuzhu smiled and said nothing more.

But Li Liuli was different. Seeing that Li Chengyu was silent, she pouted and said to Li Kuo unhappily, "Father, if you watch Liuli being bullied, then you won't get a gift made by Liuli next year."

"Like my third brother, I will buy a small gift for Father as a New Year's gift."

Li Kuo smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard this, I'm afraid that your father really won't be able to receive any gifts from you next year.

But he was still moved by Li Liuli's gift, especially since it was his little cotton-padded jacket. How could he make her sad?

"Third brother, why don't you apologize to your brother-in-law?"

"Ah, Father, I..."

"Um???"

Li Chengyu was so annoyed that a prince had to apologize to his husband...

But looking at the looks in Li Kuo and his sister's eyes, he could only grit his teeth and swallow the loss.

"I have wronged you, Sixth Prince Consort. I apologize to you, Third Brother. I'm sorry..."

Before he could finish the rest of his words, Li Liuli continued to get angry.

Li Liuli frowned and walked forward to glare at Li Chengyu, and said in a cold voice: "What do you mean by 'Sixth Prince Consort'? Are you trying to sow discord between me and my fifth sister? Xiuzhu is my and my fifth sister's common husband. You either call him Prince Consort or brother-in-law to disgust us on purpose?"

"This is my brother. I forgot. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

No one believed that Li Chengyu had forgotten, but no one could say anything about him for this.

But Li Kuo is different.

"Third brother, you are so forgetful. You must have not rested well. These days, your duties at the Dali Temple must have been too tiring."

Hearing his father making excuses for himself, Li Chengyu couldn't hold back the smile on his face, and he quickly bowed his head.

"Father, you are wise. During this period of the year, the Dali Temple has indeed had a lot of affairs. I haven't had a good rest recently."

Just as Li Liuli began to frown, Li Kuo nodded and continued: "In that case, I will give you a long vacation, you can have a good rest, and you can hand over the position of Dali Temple."

"Father, I am just a little tired. I don't need to rest."

"No, that's not right. I'm not tired, not at all."

Li Kuo did not indulge Li Chengyu, but continued: "You should take over if I ask you to. When you have rested well, you can share the burden for the Great Zhou."

"Father, I, your son, will rest now."

"Um……?"

At this moment, the prince felt very happy. Just when he was about to step forward and kick Li Chengyu, he saw Li Xiuzhu's implicit hint.

The prince was startled and did not move forward.

Li Chengyu felt his father's majestic gaze, and his psychological defenses gradually collapsed.

Unable to bear the psychological pressure, he finally agreed in a cold sweat.

"Your son, I will hand over the position when I return."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Although it was New Year's Day and everyone was on vacation, he had no choice.

"There's no need to rush. Let's go on the eighth day."

"Yes, Father."

After Li Kuo finished speaking, he looked at Li Liuli.

"Liuli, Biyao, your two gifts are very much appreciated by your father. If you have anything you want, you can tell your father."

Upon hearing this, Li Biyao quickly said, "It is my duty to prepare gifts for my father's New Year greetings, your son..."

Before Li Biyao could finish her words, Li Liuli interrupted her.

"What, sister, you want to earn a title of consort for your sisters?"

"Oh my god, sister, you are so kind to your sisters."

As he spoke, Li Liuli looked at Li Kuo, and in front of Li Biyao's stunned eyes, he said coquettishly, "Father, my fifth sister wants to earn an imperial decree for her sisters, and I also want to help her fulfill this wish, or you can just give her a few imperial decrees."

"It doesn't have to be too high, the third rank will do."

Li Kuo originally wanted to say that it was not easy to give so many imperial edicts, especially since Li Xiuzhu was of the second rank, and if he was to be granted an imperial edict, it would also be of the second rank. However, he did not expect that Li Liuli would actually ask for a third rank imperial edict.

If it was a third-grade item, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

But Li Kuo looked at his daughter with a little curiosity.

"Why do you want a third rank? If you want an imperial decree, it should be a second rank, right?"

Li Liuli chuckled, then sighed and said, "I would like to fight for a second-grade rank for them, but they are not motivated."

After Li Liuli said this, Li Kuo became even more curious. Not only Li Kuo, but also other princes and princesses, except Li Chengyu.

Li Chengyu didn't have the mood to gossip now.

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

Seeing Li Kuo asking, Li Liuli explained, "They are all stay-at-home girls. They don't want to go out on weekdays. They just want to stay at home."

"Let them become second-rank officials. Mother will invite them to the banquet when the time comes."

"I'm afraid they will annoy me to death."

"Besides, the second-rank imperial edict is still high. If it is the second rank, I am afraid those old ministers in the court will cause trouble for my father."

"How could Liuli bear to cause trouble for the emperor, so the third rank is fine."

Good man, is this still for me? Li Kuo looked at Li Biyao and asked calmly, "Biyao, do you also want me to give those women in Xiuzhu a decree?"
