Prince Qin's Mansion!
Li Xiang looked at Li Jue, who was busy checking the gift list, and said something with a heavy heart.
"Second brother, why don't you move to the East Palace?"
"The Eastern Palace?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jue glanced at Li Xiang with surprise.
"Brother, just say what you want to say. What can't we brothers say to each other?"
"N-nothing..."
"I just feel that now that you're the Crown Prince, it doesn't seem quite right for you to still be living in the Prince of Qin's residence..."
"oh?"
Li Jue didn't feel anything was wrong. In fact, he wasn't very interested in the Eastern Palace. Even if he moved there, it was only to fulfill his father's last wish.
Li Xiang was usually taciturn, so his sudden mention of the Eastern Palace was bound to arouse Li Jue's suspicion.
"Brother, do you want to move into the East Palace?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiang quickly shook his head in denial.
"No, no, no!"
"I am but a lowly servant; how dare I aspire to live in the Eastern Palace!"
"I... I'm just speaking up for you. His Majesty has already named you the Crown Prince, yet he's been delaying letting you move into the Eastern Palace. That's unreasonable, isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jue's eyes darted around, and then he said with a grin.
"Brother, I understand. You want to get married in the Eastern Palace so that our deceased parents can see it!"
Li Xiang's eyes suddenly reddened upon hearing these words.
"Second brother, it's not that I'm vain, but you saw how much hatred Father harbored before his death..."
"If I could get married in the Eastern Palace, I think both my father and mother would be very happy..."
Li Jue nodded upon hearing this.
"right!"
"Since my elder brother is so inclined, I will go to the East Palace now and ask Li Zhi to make room for us!"
Li Xiang panicked upon hearing this.
"Second brother, don't worry..."
"Now that you are the Crown Prince, you must not act rashly and must not provoke criticism from the officials!"
“Our grandfather values family ties the most. If you go directly to drive him away, it will easily upset him, and then it will be a loss.”
Li Jue replied nonchalantly upon hearing this.
What does "not worth the effort" mean?
"This is what they, father and son, owe us, father and son!"
"Brother, just sit at home and relax. I'll take back the Eastern Palace right away!"
"Second brother..."
Li Jue was a man who did whatever he wanted; how could Li Xiang possibly stop him?
Moreover, Li Xiang hadn't originally intended to stop it...
However, Li Jue was not a reckless person. He did not go directly to the Eastern Palace to ask Li Zhi to vacate a room for him, but instead entrusted the matter to his aunt, Gao Yang.
Princess Gaoyang was so surprised when she heard about Li Jue's plan that her mouth could have been stuffed with an egg.
“Nephew, if your aunt does this for you, she will offend your ninth uncle to death!”
Li Jue chuckled upon hearing this.
"Aunt Gaoyang, haven't you always looked down on Uncle Jiu? So what if you offend him?"
Gao Yang nodded upon hearing this, but the thought of offending someone still made him a little unhappy.
"Nephew, why don't you ask your Aunt Jinyang about this?"
“Your Aunt Jinyang and your Ninth Uncle are close friends. They grew up together and their relationship is extraordinary. If your Aunt Jinyang were to take action, this matter would surely be twice as effective!”
Li Jue was very honest when he heard this.
"I can't bear to part with it..."
"What?"
What are you reluctant to part with?
"What else could it be? Of course, it's because he can't bear to make Aunt Jinyang sad!"
Gao Yang rolled his eyes in anger upon hearing this.
Aren't you afraid I'll be heartbroken?
Li Jue chuckled upon hearing this.
"Don't be afraid!"
"I knew it all along, Aunt Gaoyang has no heart, hahaha!"
"you……"
Although Gao Yang was teased by Li Jue, he still went to handle the matter with a smile.
The reason is simple: she looked down on Li Zhi!
She would be happy to do anything just to disgust Li Zhi.
Upon returning to her residence, Gao Yang ordered an invitation to Li Zhi. Upon seeing that it was Gao Yang's invitation, Li Zhi attended the banquet without hesitation.
"Gao Yang, what brings you to call me today?"
"Ninth Brother, it's just that I haven't seen you for so long, and I miss you terribly..."
"Can you miss me?"
"Don't think I don't know, you and that Bianji..."
Upon hearing this, Gao Yang quickly fell silent.
"Shh!"
"Ninth Brother, you mustn't talk nonsense! Bianji and I are innocent!"
Li Zhi rolled his eyes at Gao Yang upon hearing this.
"I'll admit you're innocent!"
"Oh, by the way, I heard you've made a lot of money these past few years?"
"Uh..."
"Ninth Brother is joking. I only managed to make a little money thanks to you and His Majesty..."
Li Zhi snorted coldly upon hearing this.
"Look how stingy you are! I'm not borrowing money from you!"
"But now that I've lost my position as crown prince, I'll eventually have to take up my fiefdom. I'd like to ask you, does my fiefdom in Jinyang produce anything that can make me some money?"
"Jinyang..."
Gao Yang really knew about Jin Yang's output; Li Zhi only needed to mine coal to make a living.
However, there is no shortage of coal in the Guanzhong region. Jinyang has coal, and Chang'an also has coal.
Besides that, there was only grain. After all, Jinyang had a good geographical location with a small plain, which was very suitable for growing grain.
"Ninth Brother, Jinyang is already prosperous, so you don't need to figure out how to make money, right?"
Li Zhi smiled bitterly upon hearing this.
"We didn't need it before, but we do now..."
"Don't overthink it. Just hurry up and think of a way to let Ninth Brother have a few comfortable days too."
"OK!"
"Brother Jiu, drink this cup to the brim, and I'll find a way to help you!"
