Chapter 350 Why are you sitting so far away? Come closer to me
Seeing the angry look on Emperor Qianwu's face, Empress Murong said quickly: "Your Majesty, don't be angry. Jianye is the kind of person who speaks without thinking. It's New Year's Eve, so don't blame him."
After speaking, he quickly winked at Li Jianye, signaling him to quickly admit his mistake.
But Li Jianye seemed to be blind, puffing out his chest and saying: "Father, this is what Brother Ninth said. I think what he said is very reasonable. You have to say this even if you want to beat me!"
Emperor Qianwu's sudden surge of anger was extinguished in an instant, and he asked suspiciously: "Is this really what Chang Feng said?"
"Yes, that's what Ninth Brother said. Ninth Brother also said that people should learn to think from other people's perspective. Father, think about it. If you don't leave the palace for a long time and don't do anything, and just eat and drink every day, how can you bear it? Got it?"
"Put yourself in someone else's shoes..."
Emperor Qianwu fell into deep thought.
Queen Murong was in a complicated mood at this time.
She originally thought that these words were Li Jianye's own thoughts, but she did not expect that it was Li Changfeng who said them. Every word really spoke to her heart.
Li Chengye was her prince and the eldest son of Da Qian, but he was overshadowed by Li Changfeng and became the most beloved prince of Emperor Qian Wu.
Various signs indicate that Emperor Qianwu intended to let Li Changfeng inherit the throne. Originally, this position should have belonged to Li Chengye. Emperor Qianwu had also planned this way before.
Let’s talk about her other son Li Jianye. He is known to be a stick-dancer and a straightforward person who doesn’t know how to turn around. The most important thing is that he admires Li Changfeng very much.
So she still hated Li Changfeng a little in her heart.
But now that I heard what Li Changfeng said, the hatred in my heart suddenly disappeared a lot.
Putting aside the influence of personal emotions, Li Changfeng is really an impeccable person.
Sitting at the bottom, Li Chengye still lowered his head and remained silent. No one could see his gloomy eyes.
Ever since Li Jianye came to the palace, the topic has been focused on Li Changfeng. In the past, when Li Changfeng was in Baishi City, he was the focus.
At this moment, the little eunuch outside the palace gate shouted: "His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince is here!"
"Haha, Brother Ninth is here!"
Li Jianye laughed loudly and turned around to greet him.
Emperor Qianwu and Empress Murong also looked at the palace gate with smiles on their faces, and many young princes and grandsons even had their eyes gleaming.
Li Changfeng strode over and laughed loudly: "My son, I would like to wish my father, the emperor and my mother the new year!"
As he said this, Li Changfeng made a big salute.
Emperor Qianwu complained a little: "I don't know what you are busy with every day. You are the last to come."
Empress Murong smiled and said: "Get up quickly, we are having a family dinner today, so we don't need so many etiquette."
Li Changfeng stood up and saluted his mother and concubine again.
"Meet my mother-in-law."
"Well, no need to be polite." Concubine Lin's face was full of smiles, and her eyes were full of pride.
Li Changfeng smiled at his sister Li Mingzhu again, and Li Mingzhu bowed slightly with a smile on his face.
Li Jianye stepped forward and laughed loudly and said: "Brother Jiu, you are the best when it comes to intelligence, but when it comes to drinking, you are not good at it. I won't come home until I get drunk tonight!"
Li Changfeng said helplessly: "I admit that you have a good drinking capacity, isn't it okay? Just drink to your heart's content and let's forget it."
At this time, many young princes and grandsons could no longer bear it any longer and stepped forward to surround Li Changfeng, raising their little heads with little stars shining in their eyes.
"I want to take the train, Brother Jiu, can you take me there?"
"I heard that Brother Jiu has something that can make people fly into the sky, just like a bird. Is it true?"
"I want to fly too! I want to fly too!"
"..."
What kind of bad thoughts could a child have? Facing these innocent little guys, Li Changfeng was in a good mood. He took out a wad of silver notes from his pocket and handed them out.
"Okay, okay, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Come on, take all the New Year's money... don't grab it! It's all there, everyone has it!"
Many sharp-eyed people saw that the banknotes issued by Li Changfeng were all in denominations of one thousand taels, which must be said to be a big deal.
In just a short time, tens of thousands of taels of silver were distributed, and everyone marveled at how wealthy Li Changfeng was.
It's just that Emperor Qianwu was a little embarrassed.
The New Year's money he gave out was one hundred taels, which was much shabbier than Li Changfeng's.
"Okay, let's have a banquet when you come. Follow me to the front hall."
Emperor Qianwu coughed dryly and walked towards the front hall first, followed by everyone.
Li Jianye approached Li Changfeng and asked, "Brother Jiu, when will your hydropower station be built?"
Li Changfeng thought for a while: "If nothing happens, it will be fine next summer."
The first hydropower station was small in scale and adopted the simplest control circuit. It was not technically complex and should be very fast.
After enough experience has been accumulated, large-scale hydropower stations will be built in the future.
"Then we have to wait for half a year!" Li Jianye said with a smile, "How about you get a generator for my house first?"
"Okay, thirty thousand taels of silver."
"Given our relationship, you still need to collect money?"
"Brothers will settle accounts clearly."
"Cheaper! Are you short of thirty thousand silver?"
"Okay, three liang, just give me your thoughts."
"Brother Ninth, that's interesting!"
The two of them chatted and walked, and when they came to the main hall, they counted the seats and sat towards the back.
Although it is a New Year's Eve dinner, the royal family is different from ordinary people in that they do not sit at one big table, but each person has a small table, except for the underage princes and grandsons.
There is an order of seniority among elders and younger ones. According to the rules, Li Changfeng and Li Jianye must sit in the back.
The seat closest to Emperor Qianwu was occupied by his eldest son Li Chengye.
As a result, before Li Chengye put his butt on the chair, Emperor Qianwu's voice came over: "Changfeng, why are you sitting so far away? Come closer to me."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place became silent.
Everyone turned their attention to Li Changfeng.
The expressions of the princes in front of Li Changfeng became a little unnatural.
Isn’t this a bad rule? My father loves Li Changfeng too much!
How close is closer?
If Li Changfeng gets close, they have to retreat.
Who withdraws?
No one would feel comfortable if this matter was left to them.
Li Changfeng was not interested in competing for seats at all. He glanced at the expressions of the princes in front of him, waved his hands and said, "Father, my sons and ministers can sit here, it's quite good."
Emperor Qianwu said in a tone that could not be refused: "You can sit down if I ask you to."
After a pause, Emperor Qianwu looked at Li Chengye: "Get up, this seat is for Changfeng, and everyone else should take a seat back."
Li Chengye was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Yes, Father!"
After saying that, he stood up and backed away.
On the surface, his expression didn't seem to have changed much, but his fists were clenched tightly, and his joints were white from exerting too much force, and he was even trembling slightly.
He didn't dare to raise his head, for fear that the uncontrollable anger in his eyes would be seen by everyone.
Emperor Qianwu's move was tantamount to completely declaring Li Changfeng's status, indicating that he had no chance of inheriting the throne, and ended his thoughts.
