Chapter 150: Wariness
Xiao Xixi couldn't help yawning as she listened to these trivial matters, and felt a little sleepy.
Qingsong was secretly worried when he saw that she was so careless.
"My lady, let's not talk about the others, but Concubine Li should not be underestimated. She is the niece of the Queen. With the Queen as her backer, even the Crown Prince has to give her some face. If she really wants to take action against you, you will be in a bad situation."
He thought that he had made his words so clear that Xiao Liangdi should be able to find a way to deal with it.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Liangdi just responded lazily.
"oh."
Qingsong talked a lot, hoping that Xiao Liangdi would be more careful and not get harmed, but he never received a response.
He looked up cautiously and found that Xiao Liangdi had fallen asleep with her eyes closed.
Qingsong: “…”
Okay, he was worrying about nothing.
He retreated silently.
The news that the prince has returned to the palace has spread throughout the East Palace.
Concubine Li was the first to react. She deliberately changed into a newly made water-red wide-sleeved fairy dress, wore a golden hairpin with pearls on her head, pasted a vermilion plum blossom hairpin between her eyebrows, put on red lip balm, and walked out of the Jinfeng Palace with her slender waist twisted.
Caiyun followed closely behind with a food box.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been away for more than three months. Concubine Li thinks that the bad impression she had left on the Crown Prince should have faded a lot. If she goes to apologize and act coquettishly now, the unpleasant things that happened before should be completely put behind her.
The master and servant came to Minguang Palace.
The young eunuch guarding the palace gate greeted him respectfully.
"My Lady Concubine, the Crown Prince is still discussing important matters with someone inside. No one is allowed to disturb him for now."
Concubine Li was quite disappointed, but she did not give up.
She smiled and said, "I'm here to serve soup to His Royal Highness. This is the soup I made myself. Please help me bring the soup in."
The young eunuch was a little hesitant.
Caiyun cleverly went over and stuffed a purse into his hand.
The young eunuch weighed the purse and was very satisfied. He took the food box with a smile and said, "I will bring it in right away."
He turned and walked into Mingguang Palace.
Concubine Li did not leave, but stayed where she was and waited. She wanted to know whether the prince liked the taste of the soup.
The young eunuch walked to the door of the study carrying the food box. Eunuch Chang, who was guarding the door, saw him coming and raised his eyebrows and asked.
"What's up?"
The young eunuch raised the food box in his hand and said with a flattering smile, "This is the soup sent by Concubine Li."
Eunuch Chang held out his hand: "Give it to me."
The young eunuch quickly handed over the food box and purse.
Eunuch Chang did not want the purse. He was the chief eunuch beside the crown prince, and all the eunuchs in the Eastern Palace were under his charge. With his position, he no longer needed this little reward money.
He walked into the study carrying the lunch box.
In the study, the prince was discussing things with his ministers.
What they were talking about was the prince taking over the Ministry of Justice.
The Prince's tutor reminded him, "Your Highness, in front of so many people today, asked His Majesty for the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Justice. I'm afraid that His Majesty will be dissatisfied."
Although the emperor said that he had the idea of assigning a task to the prince, giving it away voluntarily and being asked for something are two different things. The emperor did not show it on his face, but in his heart he might have already had some ideas about the prince.
The fact that the emperor was only willing to give him the Ministry of Justice, but not the Ministry of Personnel, which had more power, is enough to illustrate this point.
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "I just don't want to continue to wait passively."
If he wants to secure his position as crown prince, he must hold real power.
Only when he has power does he have the right to speak.
The Prince's tutor sighed, "You are so radical, I'm afraid it will arouse His Majesty's vigilance."
