The smile disappeared from Li Chengqian's face, and he looked serious. He looked at Su and asked, "What do you mean by what you just said?"
He has no political talent, but that doesn't mean he is stupid!
In his opinion, Su Zhi's words were just a bit arrogant and frivolous, but after Fang Jun's reminder, he immediately came to his senses.
Su Yiyi was confused: "What do you mean? What's the meaning?"
The Crown Princess Su on the side felt a thump in her heart. She was a very smart woman, but she had no experience in court struggles and therefore lacked the necessary vigilance. But Li Chengqian's expression at this moment made her know that something was wrong.
It's just that she had a gentle temperament. She pursed her lips and didn't say anything to ask, but her eyes revealed anxiety...
Li Chengqian wanted to ask again, but Fang Jun had already stood up and said: "I am too drunk, so I will retire today. I will come back to invite your highness when I have time another day. I hope your highness will appreciate it."
Li Chengqian's face was cold and he nodded: "That's all right. Let's set a date and tell Gu. Besides, the princess also wants to see Gao Yang, so she can't disturb her."
Fang Jun saluted and said, "That humble minister has resigned."
After saying this, he saluted the prince, then saluted the princess, turned around and walked out of Li Zhengdian.
After Fang Jun left, the atmosphere in the palace was serious.
Li Chengqian kept a cold face and said nothing. The princess felt uneasy and her pretty face looked anxious.
Su was slightly dissatisfied and said casually: "It's really unruly. The prince was here and he actually left the table first. Is this how Fang Xuanling taught his son? Even the villagers in the countryside knew the etiquette, but he, an important official of the imperial court, didn't know it.
, just to make people laugh."
Li Chengqianyuan's face was as cold as ice. He endured it, but still couldn't hold it back. He looked at Su and said, "It's not that Fang Jun is rude, but he is worried about Gu's face and can't bear to lose face in front of him."
Su was confused: "What did you say? Your Highness kindly invited him to the banquet. He should be grateful and grateful. Why is it that His Highness is so shameless?"
"Your Highness..." Crown Princess Su felt nervous when she saw Li Chengqian's hesitant expression. She wanted to advise him not to lose his temper in front of his father, otherwise wouldn't she be the one who would be most embarrassed?
Li Chengqian raised his hand to interrupt the Crown Princess's words, stared at Su, and asked word for word: "Let me ask you, what do you mean by what you just said, 'There are people behind the scenes who are fueling the flames'? Who is the person behind the scenes?"
who?"
Su stared with a confused look on his face: "It's Gao Jifu, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and his clan brother Shen Guogong is His Highness's uncle, so naturally they are a family. In the inner court, there is His Highness who speaks kindly in front of His Majesty, and in the outer court, there is Shen Guogong who summons civil servants
If you think I can help you, then the position of Jingzhao Yin must be mine. Naturally, such a prominent position must be filled by one of your own, what's the problem with this?"
"What is the problem?"
Li Chengqian almost laughed angrily. He had been kept in the dark all this time. He thought that Su just saw that Jing Zhaoyin's position was vacant and was motivated to make progress. Who knew that he was instigated by others...
Taking a deep breath, he ignored the fact that the Crown Princess was standing aside and said to Su coldly: "If you don't want Gu to be deposed by his father, you don't want your daughter to be imprisoned in the cold palace in the future or even have a glass of poisonous wine and three feet of white silk to be in the underworld with Gu.
If we meet, then stay at home honestly and don’t harm me!"
After saying this, Li Chengqian stood up suddenly, his face full of anger, and walked away with a flourish of his sleeves.
Is this my father-in-law?
Why does it feel more like a reminder...
Gao Jifu is the younger brother of Shen Guogong Gao Shilian. The two of them have always been in harmony with each other, and there is no problem with Li Chengqian saying that he is a member of his family. But the key is that for Gao Shilian, he is not the only one in his family. Li Chengqian is not the only one. Wei Wang Li Tai is a member of his family.
Even King Li Zhi of Jin is a member of his own family...
Li Chengqian didn't know what brothers Gao Shilian and Gao Jifu had in mind, but since they wanted to recommend Su as Jing Zhaoyin, why didn't they ask for his opinion in advance, but secretly encouraged Su to plead with him?
When things go wrong, there must be monsters...
Putting it all together, even with the benefit of hindsight, Li Chengqian knew that this was obviously to make himself disliked in front of His Majesty.
It was impossible for Su to serve as Jing Zhaoyin, and under such circumstances, he had to go to his father to "put in a good word" for him. You can imagine how disgusted and disappointed his father would be in his position.
Maybe once or twice is nothing. You won't depose a prince for such a trivial matter, right? But as the saying goes, it doesn't take a day to freeze three feet. Seemingly inconspicuous trivial matters, over time, will eventually consume the father.
All patience and hope, until then...
How vicious are the intentions of the rats!
Su Zhi is so short-sighted and so stupid!
Fortunately, I hid my intention to consult Fang Jun and ask him for advice. Otherwise, if I had the rashness to recommend Su to my father, I would be falling into the trap of the traitor!
Li Chengqian walked away angrily, which was extremely rude. After all, Su was still his father-in-law... But how could Su be in the mood to care about this at this moment? With a look of fear on his face, he turned to look at his pale daughter.
, asked in surprise: "What's going on, Your Highness?"
Crown Princess Su shook her head lightly, sighed slowly, and said in a tired tone: "Father, don't you understand? No one wants to recommend you to be the Jing Zhaoyin. Everything is just to plot against His Highness. Father, you...
…This is an extraordinary moment. Your Highness is having a hard time sleeping, and the wind is trembling. I hope you, father, can understand me.”
What she actually wanted to say was, "You don't have the talent to be an official at all. Even if you do become this Jing Zhaoyin, you are just a puppet controlled by others." But this kind of words is a bit hurtful, let alone facing her own father?
However, she still made a vague reminder that Your Highness is not having an easy life now, so please don't cause further trouble.
Just looking at her father's still confused look, the Crown Princess sighed secretly, wondering if her father could understand...
When Su walked away with a lonely look on his face, the Crown Princess turned back to her bedroom, and saw the Crown Prince standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking over the glass roof and looking at the green mountains in the distance.
He was originally a slightly chubby figure, but at some point his shoulders became thinner, and even his fleshy cheeks were slightly sunken. The road to becoming a prince is not only a road leading to the Supreme Light, but also a cliff covered with thorns. Every step of the way is frightening.
, if you are not careful, you will be doomed...
Only she, the person next to him, could understand how much pressure the prince was under.
This pressure is like a huge stone weighing more than a thousand pounds pressing down on the nerves. Once it is broken, it will cause loss of consciousness.
After waving her hand to repel the palace maid, the Crown Princess stepped forward lightly and came behind Li Chengqian. She stretched out her arms and hugged his waist tightly, laying her side face on his back. She apologized in her heart and said softly:
"sorry……"
Li Chengqian's body trembled slightly, his big hand covered the slender hand on his lower abdomen, squeezed it gently, and said with a smile: "Why are you so raw?"
Leaning on her husband's generous back, the Crown Princess whispered: "Because of my father, Your Highness almost got into trouble with a villain's plan. I was in such a difficult situation that I felt extremely ashamed. If I had known this, when he begged His Highness,
, I should have sternly refused, and there would have been no danger today."
"Haha, but that is your father after all...Besides, isn't it okay? Don't take such trivial matters to your heart. If you become depressed and become ill, then you are really sorry for Gu. Gu also pointed at love
The concubine can give birth to many children and spread the branches and leaves for the orphan."
Li Chengqian put aside his boredom and joked a few words.
The Crown Princess blushed with embarrassment and said slightly angrily: "We are already an old married couple, but we still have no shame in being so disgusting."
Li Chengqian pulled away the hand on his waist, turned around and took his wife's delicate body into his arms, and said with a smile: "Husband and wife are in harmony with each other, which is the order of heaven and earth. What is there to be ashamed of?"
Crown Princess Qiong's nose wrinkled, and she said warmly: "Your Highness... After the concubine Wang entered the palace, you have been looking at me coldly. I heard that Wang was crying all day long, feeling sorry for herself..."
"Hmph! Gu knows that you are virtuous, but do you think that the Langya Wang family deliberately married their legitimate daughter to Gu as a concubine? Isn't it just like rain and dew, and flowers bloom everywhere! The Langya Wang family has always been in the same spirit as the Taiyuan Wang family
Lian Zhi, the Wang family of Taiyuan married their daughter to a young slave as the main concubine, and the Wang family of Langya married their daughter to Gu as a side concubine. However, above the court, the two families have been secretly supporting Qingque... no matter who.
Everyone has the idea of having a romantic relationship when they become emperor, but they don’t know that being so mean is the most disgusting thing! Just watch, no matter which of our brothers takes that position in the end, he will not be able to enjoy the good fruits of his Wang family!"
The Crown Princess had not thought about this. She simply felt that a weak woman who was thrown into the corner like a chess piece by her parents was too pitiful. Relatively speaking, her family was not as prominent as the Langya Wang family.
But there are also fewer interests involved, allowing the husband and wife to be of the same mind.
It's just that the prince doesn't listen to her persuasion, what can she do?
Politics is the most ruthless thing. What is wrong with a woman hiding in a deep house, but she will be implicated, even evaluated and valued like goods, and become a bargaining chip in the transaction...
I can only pray for the one who was ignored by the prince because of his anger. I hope she can be stronger. The prince is a soft-hearted person after all, and he will eventually see the moon shine...
