Chapter 129 Stealing a Half Day of Leisure

After leaving Xiande Hall, Li Chengqian went directly to the East Palace and the harem, and came to Yichun Palace.

"Your Highness! How come you have time to come here today? Isn't Your Highness going to handle government affairs?" When Crown Princess Su saw Li Chengqian appear, she hurriedly greeted him and asked with a salute.

"Today's government affairs are not busy. Fang Xiang and others are handling them on my behalf. I finally managed to spare half a day."

"I came to see you as soon as possible. Could it be that the Crown Princess doesn't welcome me?" Li Chengqian said.

"Your Highness can come, I am naturally happy! But as the regent crown prince, is it really okay for Your Highness not to handle government affairs?" Crown Princess Su asked.

"What's wrong with that? The official agencies of my East Palace are functioning normally. If there is nothing serious, they can handle it themselves."

"If there is really some government affairs that I have to handle, it won't be too late to call me then. Is it possible that the Crown Princess wants to spoil my interest by taking a break?" Li Chengqian said somewhat unhappily.

It's not easy to steal half a day of leisure from this busy life. If you don't take the opportunity to have a good rest, you won't have time to be lazy when the government affairs are busy in the future.

Li Chengqian has lived a very comfortable life in Luoyang during this period. Now that he is back in Chang'an, he has to get into work mode immediately. It is inevitable that he will feel a little bored and can't cheer up.

Naturally, he has no intention of handling government affairs. If it weren't for the need, he would not have planned to go to Xiande Hall to summon the officials today.

Li Chengqian's current symptoms have a scientific name, called False Queen Syndrome.

After being asked by Li Chengqian, and seeing his changed expression, the Crown Princess swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

"Where are Jue'er and Xiang'er? Why didn't I see them?" Li Chengqian picked up a bunch of grapes from the plate on the table, and asked about the two adopted sons while eating.

Speaking of grapes, we have to mention wine and luminous cups. Isn't there a poem that goes: Fine grape wine and luminous cups, the pipa music is urging you to drink.

"Jue'er and Xiang'er are now studying with their master, learning to read and write." The

Crown Princess said. "By the way! Where is my sister? Didn't someone send her to you to take care of her?" Li Chengqian asked.

At Princess Xincheng's age, she is very active and lively, and he has been here for a while! The whole Yichun Palace was too quiet without seeing the little girl.

It would have been better if Li Chengqian did not ask. The Crown Princess felt depressed after asking. The little princess was indeed sent to her place.

But now she is not here, but with Xiao Liangdi, that vixen. No matter how she calls, the little princess is unwilling to come back.

It makes her angry just thinking about it. I don’t know what kind of magic Xiao Liangdi has fed the little princess to make her follow Xiao Liangdi so devotedly and unwilling to leave.

"Your Highness! The little princess is now with Xiao Liangdi. No matter how I persuade her, she is unwilling to come back. I don’t know what kind of magic Xiao Liangdi has fed the little princess." The Crown Princess complained.

Since Xiao Liangdi came, she found that the entire harem of the East Palace had changed. Li Xiang and Li Jue always liked to run to her side.

Li Xiang was fine, after all, he was not her biological son, but Li Jue was also like this, which made her unbearable. Now, even the little princess was fooled by her.

"It's really outrageous!" Li Chengqian frowned.

The Crown Princess heard this and was secretly happy. She urged Li Chengqian to deal with Xiao Liangdi.

"Don't worry, Crown Princess! I will go to Xiao Liangdi in person. I want to see what kind of trouble Xiao Liangdi can make." Li Chengqian stood up and said.

Compared with Crown Princess Su, Li Chengqian likes to be with Xiao Liangdi more.

The Crown Princess is not as lively as Xiao Liangdi, and lacks some energy, perhaps because of her position, or perhaps because she is already a mother.

The Crown Princess is too bound by rules, and will lose a lot of fun in their interactions, while Xiao Liangdi is youthful and lively, full of energy.

Therefore, Li Chengqian now wants to escape from the Crown Princess and find his lively and cheerful Xiao Liangdi.

"Yeah!" The Crown Princess nodded in response. If it weren't for her status and the need to be dignified, the Crown Princess would probably jump for joy.

Li Chengqian got up and left Yichun Palace. He did not go to Yiqiu Palace where Xiao Liangdi lived, but went directly to Bafeng Palace.

"Wang Quan, go and call Xiao Liangdi and the little princess to Bafeng Palace." Li Chengqian asked Wang Quan to call Xiao Liangdi.

"Yes!" Wang Quan took the order and left.

After a cup of tea, Wang Quan returned, followed by two girls, one big and one small.

The older one was eighteen years old, with a charming appearance, and her gorgeous clothes added a bit of nobility.

The younger one was ten years old, and her childish face showed a smile, which added a bit of loveliness.

"Big brother!" The little girl Princess Xincheng called out when she saw Li Chengqian sitting in the Eight Winds Hall, with a tone of unfamiliarity.

Among all the brothers and sisters, Princess Xincheng had the best relationship with Prince Jin Li Zhi and Princess Jinyang Li Mingda.

Compared with Li Zhi, Li Chengqian was more unfamiliar. Although Li Chengqian also cared for him very much, Princess Xincheng and Li Chengqian had only met a few times in total, so the relationship between the two was naturally unfamiliar.

"Yuan'er! Come to my brother!" Li Chengqian moved aside and patted the seat under him to say to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan came to sit beside Li Chengqian obediently. Li Chengqian stroked Li Yuan's head with a doting look in his eyes.

"Yuan'er is becoming more and more beautiful and charming. She will definitely be a great beauty in the future. It's a good thing for Wei Shuyu!"

In history, Princess Xincheng was first betrothed to Wei Shuyu, the son of Wei Zheng. Later, because Wei Zheng had recommended Hou Junji and Du Zhenglun as having the talent of prime ministers.

Later, after the case of Crown Prince Li Chengqian's rebellion, Hou Junji and Du Zhenglun were punished. Li Er thought that Wei Zheng and Hou Junji and others were secretly forming a clique for personal gain.

What made Li Er even more unhappy was that Wei Zheng showed his previous and subsequent remonstrations to the historian Chu Suiliang. Li Er thought that Wei Zheng was trying to show off himself in history books.

So he ordered the tombstone he personally erected for Wei Zheng to be torn down, and canceled the marriage between Princess Xincheng and Wei Shuyu.

Later, in the 23rd year of Zhenguan, Li Er betrothed Princess Xincheng, who was still Princess Hengshan at the time, to Changsun Wuji's cousin's son Changsun Quan.

That is, Changsun Wuji's brother of the same clan. From Changsun Wuji's relationship theory, Li Chengqian's brothers and sisters still have to call him uncle.

Now that Li Chengqian has been reborn again, he has not taken the original path of rebellion again, so the engagement between Wei Shuyu and Princess Xincheng has not been cancelled, and Princess Xincheng is still the daughter-in-law of Wei Zheng's family.

"Brother, you are making fun of me. Yuan'er will never talk to you again! Humph!" Princess Xincheng pretended to be angry, turned her head away, and pouted. She looked so cute.

"Hahaha!" Li Chengqian laughed and said, "Okay! Yuan'er, don't be angry. Brother is just teasing you."

The little girl was easy to coax, and she was won over in just a few words.
