Chapter 158 Thinking
Sonorous and powerful, with resounding voice.
This counterattack was really beautiful!
The prince looked at the Princess of Qi who was standing side by side with the King of Qi. There was admiration, envy, and a little bit of loss in his eyes.
But I was also happy for my younger brother. He was luckier than his brother and found a wife who was willing to protect him.
The Queen lowered her head with a bit of dignity, feeling deeply ashamed of her daughter-in-law's constant flattery of her son. Once again, she felt that she had gone against her conscience by betrothing her youngest sister to the Fourth Prince. It was somewhat, well, against her conscience.
After all, I know my own son well. If the fourth son could say these two sentences, I would chew these words out loud!
Although the queen has some dignity, there are some people who are simply shameless.
"Old Four is right! The king dies for the country, and the prince guards the border. That's the truth!"
The emperor slammed the table emotionally, and his eyes even turned a little red with excitement.
"Was it easy for our Li family to conquer this world? Is it easy for the people of this world to survive in the midst of war?
Although you are all rich now, with no worries about food and drink, but you must not forget that our Li family is a royal family that was made from humble beginnings!
At all times, you must keep the people of the world in your sight and mind. Whether you are in the capital or in your fiefdom, live your lives in peace and protect what you are supposed to protect.
Did you all hear that?!"
"Yes, I obey your order!"
A family dinner in the palace slowly came to an end with Prince Jing being scolded and Prince Qi being praised.
Li Chengxiu kept his mouth open all the way from the palace to Prince Qi's mansion, and he kept showing his courtesy to his wife with his teeth bared.
"Wife, are you cold?"
"Wife, drink some hot water to warm yourself up."
"Wife, let me help you change your shoes."
"young married woman……"
"stop!"
Jiang Wan pulled the man away from him with a headache.
"Li Laosi, have you been possessed by the spirit of a migrant worker? Why are you so diligent today?"
"Hehehe, you're saying something I can't understand again. But I'm happy. When I think about how you made Li Laoer almost vomit blood in the palace just now, I'm so happy!"
Li Chengxiu came up to his wife warmly, bent his tall body, and put his big head on his wife's shoulder, feeling particularly happy.
"Wife, you are so nice!"
"Huh? Isn't this the time when you said I was bad the other day?"
Jiang Wan pushed him with amusement.
"Get out of here quickly, I'm still hungry."
"I've just instructed the kitchen to set up the meal. Hongzhu will come and call me shortly."
Li Chengxiu wasn't angry when his wife pulled him away. He took the cold hands and held them in his arms.
"Wife, why did you say that to Li Lao Er just now?"
He was asking questions even though he knew the answer.
Jiang Wan raised his eyebrows and smiled in an official manner.
"Ah, I don't want to do that either. Who made His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi so bad at talking? Then Princess Qi will have to disregard her dignity and fight with him."
"Who said I'm bad at talking? I was just being lenient with him because it's Chinese New Year. Otherwise, I'm not only good at talking, but I'm also good at my hands and feet. Wouldn't beating him up be like a piece of cake?"
Li Chengxiu defended himself and asked with a smile.
"Are you worried that I'll lose face?"
"Of course, we are a couple and we are one family to the outside world. If you lose face, how can I feel proud?"
"I knew it! Wife, you're absolutely right. We are a family. Sleeping in the same bed together, we're much closer than anyone else, right? You must always remember this. Never forget it!"
Whenever Li Chengxiu thought of Jiang Wan in the palace just now, calling his prince over and over again, he felt that he was the happiest person in the world.
Is the girl he has been in love with for many years starting to like him a little bit now?
"Wanjie'er..."
"Um?"
"…Nothing, I just wanted to ask if you were still cold. Otherwise, let's eat inside. I'll have someone bring the food in."
"No, I'm a hypocrite. How can I sleep at night if the whole bedroom smells like cooking?"
"Okay, then I'll ask someone to get some more charcoal basins. Take a few sips of the hot water to warm your hands first, and be careful not to burn them. I'll come pick you up when it's ready. It's still snowing outside, so don't go out by yourself. You might catch a cold."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man disappeared.
Jiang Wan watched his silly roe deer's cheerful appearance, lowering his head to drink water with a smile on his face. He recalled the day in Fengming Palace, when he saw that there seemed to be a hint of suspicion between the Queen and the Crown Princess.
Ever since Chang Liangdi had a miscarriage last time, I heard from Li Laosi that the Crown Princess was scolded several times by the Queen, and was punished to copy the Tao Te Ching for three days. She was also asked to take her son to her side and raise him for half a month.
Even Li Laosi didn't know how the Crown Princess finally obtained the forgiveness of the Emperor, Empress, and Crown Prince. But the situation was that things seemed to be calm in the Eastern Palace.
It has to be said that the sons of the Li family are all somewhat in love. The fourth son of the Li family knows how he feels about himself, but the third son of the Li family obviously loves his sweetheart as well!
If he hadn't been with Song Ziying, who was only interested in fame and status, they might have become the loving couple in the original novel.
Alas, it's a pity that Li Laosan's love brain seems to have been born in the wrong place in this life. After so many twists and turns, it seems that he has finally realized something now?
Because today, the Crown Princess told the Queen in person with a smile on her face the good news that Zhou Liangdi and Guo Fengyi were both pregnant.
Whether she was really happy or not is not the point for now, but the fact that these two concubines in the Eastern Palace became pregnant at the same time is something that is really worth pondering.
Zhou Liangdi was originally from the Crown Princess's family, so it's understandable that she would lean towards the Crown Princess. But how did Guo Fengyi end up leaning towards her? She was obviously a very smart person, so why would she not let him stand in a good position?
Or was it that the fierce competition within the Eastern Palace meant she couldn't remain neutral? What would become of the Guo family in the future? Song Ziying wasn't someone to be trifled with, and she already had a legitimate son. When the Crown Prince ascended the throne, the harem would undoubtedly become even more chaotic.
Their Jiang family also has the Prince Qi's Mansion, so how to strike a balance between the two is something they must think about carefully.
Jiang Wan lowered his eyes, his eyes filled with a myriad of thoughts.
During their last few days in the capital, the King of Qi and his wife did not rest at home for a single day, and were busy with their own things.
As the firecrackers blasted, time flew by day by day. Before the New Year was even over, the day of departure was already upon us.
