Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 98: Sad to find no adults at home

Princess Honghua was a little flattered.

She didn't expect that the Crown Prince would lead all the officials to welcome him, nor did she expect that His Majesty would receive him in the Liangyi Hall.

In her opinion, these are not worthy of her.

How could she, a mere princess who married out of the country, receive such courtesy and attention?

But it actually happened.

Later, a banquet was held in her honor.

Although he was not in the palace, but only in the East Palace, there was no His Majesty and no officials.

It still made her heart tremble.

"Your Highness, Changle has arrived."

"Your Highness, Gao Yang has also arrived."

With the arrival of the two princesses, Honghua, who originally only had Su Qing to chat with, now had two more.

Changle and Gaoyang were called by Li Chengqian.

After all, chatting between women is much easier than chatting with a man.

This is not.

As soon as Changle arrived, he joined the chat group and the three of them chatted very enthusiastically.

After Gao Yang arrived, the four of them were able to play mahjong together.

The two princesses were not at all unfamiliar with Honghua; instead, they were very enthusiastic about him.

They are not fools. The Crown Prince values ​​and loves Princess Honghua so much.

If one relies on his status and talks to Honghua in a condescending manner, that would be sheer brainlessness.

Why did the prince call them here?

"Your Highness, Princess Baling is here."

Chang Sun Chong reported.

Li Chengqian looked puzzled and asked, "I didn't call her?"

Princess Baling was the seventh daughter of Li Er.

My relationship with her is only superficial and we are not very familiar with each other.

But her husband, Li Chengqian, knew it.

Chai Lingwu!
The son of Chai Shao, Duke of Qiao, and Princess Pingyang.

Actually, he was Li Chengqian's cousin and married his sister, Princess Baling.

Cousins, this is another orthopedic case.

"I don't know why they came uninvited."

Chang Sun Chong touched the back of his head and said, "How about I go and send them away?"

Li Chengqian did not answer.

He was wondering about the other party's purpose.

It's impossible for him to come to me for no reason.

"Oh, by the way, Chai Lingwu is here too," Chang Sun Chong added.

Li Chengqian gave him a fierce look, pointed at him and cursed: "Can you be more reliable when you speak?"

"If it weren't for my uncle, I would really want to cut you."

"Still not making any progress."

Chang Sun Chong was embarrassed and ashamed.

I have been with the prince for quite some time and have been taught a lesson quite a few times.

The main reason is that Chang Sun Chong is only about 20 years old now, a young man with a lot of inexperience, and he needs to be trained and tempered in many things.

If it were someone else, Li Chengqian would not have such patience.

Even without considering my uncle's face, I must cultivate an excellent husband for Li Zhi.

"go."

"Please bring them in."

Li Chengqian said.

"Yes!"

Outside the East Palace.

Chai Lingwu seemed very uneasy, walking back and forth, looking left and right.

I was afraid that someone would see me.

The more Princess Baling looked at him, the more upset she became. The more she looked at him, the angrier she became. "Why are you leaving?"

"You came here today, don't you have any idea?"

"You're still embarrassed, aren't you?"

"Do you have to wait until the crown prince hits you with the stick before you know what pain is?"

Chai Lingwu blushed and said with a breath held, "I just feel sorry for Qingque."

"Qingque is also good to me, so I came here..."

"Still in Qingque? Have you ever thought about it? Your family got the status of Duke today through military merit and fighting on the battlefield."

Princess Baling said: "Fourth brother is now concentrating on compiling the Comprehensive Geography, and will also compile the Zhenguan Encyclopedia in the future."

"Who are you? What can you do to help Fourth Brother?"

"I, the great sage of the Li family, need help from a mediocre person like you who has a headache even reading books."

"Are you qualified?"

Princess Baling scolded Chai Lingwu so much that his face turned red with anger, but he had no way to refute.

How could he not have the ability to follow the King of Wei to edit the book?

"You are such a fool. My aunt died young, and my eldest brother inherited my father's title."

"Just marry me and you'll have a duke."

"Without me, you'd be nothing."

"Still pretending to be loyal and noble here."

"You make me sick."

Chai Lingwu said excitedly: "Your Highness, it is very hurtful for you to say this to me."

"Hurt you..."

Princess Baling felt that it was wrong to scold, as it involved too many people and she couldn't afford to scold. She put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Look at Changle, look at Gaoyang."

"Chang Sun Chong is the prince's housekeeper in the East Palace, and the prince's eldest brother taught Changle the tea-making technology. Now he is making a lot of money in Chang'an."

"When Fang Yiai became a Jinyiwei, the prince gave him the recipe for Gaoyang's food. He opened several restaurants in Chang'an. They were always packed with people and made a lot of money every day."

"And me?"

"I am also the sister of the eldest prince."

"Nothing, just watching Changle and Gaoyang act so proud every day."

She tapped Chai Lingwu's head and asked, "What's wrong with me?"

"It's just that men don't understand."

Chai Lingwu knew the reason for his wife's anger. Princesses Changle and Gaoyang were already favored by His Majesty among all the princesses. Now they were cared for by the Crown Prince. They stood out among the princesses and were far superior to countless other princesses.

Who wouldn't envy? Who wouldn't be jealous?
Originally, Gao Yang was favored by His Majesty, and Baling also knew that he could not get it.

But now she is favored by the prince.

We are all sisters, why can't I do the same?
"Changle is the prince's biological sister, how can they be compared?" he said in a muffled voice.

"What about Gao Yang? Gao Yang?"

Princess Baling said coldly: "If I can't beat Changle, can I not compete with Gaoyang?"

"Why is Gao Yang so successful and so arrogant in Chang'an?"

"Before, we could still talk and laugh, but now Gao Yang talks about how much he earns all the time in front of me."

"She gave me a lot of rouge."

"Don't I have any money?"

Chai Lingwu lowered his head and said nothing. Baling seemed to have been taught enough and said, "You should know that since Aye passed away, no one in the family can support the family."

"My brother is still young and has no prestige. Even though he has the title of Duke, the elders still treat him like a junior."

"What say does he have in matters big or small?"

"The Changle in-laws have the Duke of Zhao, and the Gaoyang in-laws have the Duke of Liang. They both know what to do."

"We have no one behind us, shouldn't we know better how to choose?"

She gently stroked Chai Lingwu's face and advised: "There is no way out if you follow Fourth Brother."

"Only by following the prince can you have a future."

“We can live better.”

"understand?"

Chai Lingwu smiled bitterly, "I'll listen to my wife."

"That's right."

At this time, Chang Sun Chong came quickly.

"Your Highness, the Princess, the Prince Consort, Your Highness invites you."

Princess Baling was delighted, and although Chai Lingwu was a little embarrassed, he still forced himself to enter the Eastern Palace.

"Meet the prince, brother."

"See His Highness the Crown Prince."

The two of them saluted, and Li Chengqian nodded with a smile and said, "No thanks."

"You two don't come to the East Palace very often."

She didn't come to the Eastern Palace, but often went to the King of Wei.

"Brother Crown Prince, I am ignorant. I will come here more often in the future. I am just afraid that you will find me annoying." Baling said obediently.

"Ha ha!"

Li Chengqian raised his head and smiled, "Come whenever you want. How can a brother find his sister annoying?"

"It just so happens that Changle, Gaoyang and the others are here, talking to Sister Honghua."

He ignored Chai Lingwu and walked inside with Baling.

Chai Lingwu stood there, not knowing whether to follow or not.

"Let's go."

Chang Sun Chong followed him and said coldly, "What are you standing there for?"

"You need His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to invite you personally."

"I……!"

After being kicked by Chang Sun Chong, Chai Lingwu's face turned pale. Seeing Chang Sun Chong's vague scrutiny, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and followed him in.

"what."

"Ba Ling is here."

"Come on, come on."

As soon as Gao Yang saw the visitor, he immediately shouted excitedly, "Come and listen to Honghua's interesting stories about Tuyuhun."

Changle also shouted with a smile: "Come over to Baling."

Both of them were of higher status than her and took the initiative to speak because they knew that Baling's appearance here must have been approved by the Crown Prince.

otherwise.

Not to mention inside, she couldn't even get in through the palace gate.

When they saw Chai Lingwu, they understood everything. They knew that Chai Lingwu was close to the fourth brother, so his appearance at this moment was self-evident.

The four women were talking in a sweet and noisy manner, and when Baling was added to the mix, it was like the roof was about to fall off.

"Let's go."

"Let's go sit over there and don't disturb them from chatting."

Li Chengqian went to the side hall and sat down, while Changsun Chong raised his head to the sky and looked at people with his nose up.

Chai Lingwu was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

puff!
Pfft!
Chang Sunchong kicked Chai Lingwu again and said in a deep voice, "Kneel down!"

Li Chengqian glanced at it and said nothing.

Chai Lingwu knelt on the ground with his head down, not daring to look up.

Li Chengqian didn't say anything, just sipped his tea. Changsun Chong just crossed his shoulders and sneered, looking down on him.

Chai Lingwu lowered his head, widened his eyes, and stared at the ground.

After a long time, his legs were shaking and he could hardly kneel anymore.

Li Chengqian then put down the teacup and asked calmly, "What does it taste like?"

"I am guilty!" Chai Lingwu gritted his teeth and answered a question that was not asked.

"Li Zhi brought his grandson to the East Palace. Without saying a word, I petitioned His Majesty to let him serve as the Prince's Household Manager."

"Gao Yang brought Fang Yiai here, and I didn't make things difficult for him. I just let him join the Imperial Guard."

Li Chengqian said casually: "Do you know why you are different?"

"I don't know."

Chai Lingwu's forehead was covered with sweat.

"Behind the beauty is her uncle."

"Behind Gao Yang is the Duke of Liang."

"Who's behind you?"

Chai Lingwu was trembling all over. He was not stupid and understood what the prince meant.

"You can enter the East Palace just because you want to?"

Li Chengqian leaned forward and asked, "What do you have that I value?"

"Chai Zhewei is the Duke of Qiao?"

"Or do you think you are the Lord of Baling?"

At this moment, Chai Lingwu suddenly understood a truth with sadness.

What is he when there are no adults in the house?
Nothing.

It's of no use in front of the prince.
