From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 11 Visit
The next day, in Changxin Palace

Lin Gong stood beside the eldest princess with his head bowed
Look at this aunt with her long black hair combed into a high bun, gorgeous and graceful, wearing a dark dress, with smiling eyes and natural charm, fiddling with the flowers and plants in her hands.

The eighteen-year-old boy tried his best to suppress the fanaticism flashing in his eyes and make himself look normal.

"So, Cheng Qian didn't agree?"

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just smiled after hearing this, and did not respond directly."

"Is it just that there is no direct answer?"

"this……!"

Lin Gong hesitated for a moment, then said uncertainly, "I felt like the Crown Prince's expression at that time was as if he was mocking me."

There was a snap.

The flower path in the eldest princess's hand was cut off with a knife.

After a long while, she finally said slowly, "This prince, I am becoming more and more confused."

Ever since she was expelled from Guangning Palace and impeached because of Gu Qing, she found that the behavior patterns of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were increasingly beyond her understanding, making her completely unable to grasp it.

This feeling was very bad, making her feel very uncomfortable, but she didn't know where to put her strength.

Is this still the little prince who liked to stick to me since he was a child?

The Cui family incident was also a test for her.

But this time, the attempt seemed to have fallen into vain again.

At this time, hurried footsteps were heard outside.

The voice arrived before the person arrived, and there was a hint of anxiety in his footsteps.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is here." A eunuch came hurriedly from the door.

"The prince is here. What is he doing here? Is this man so ignorant of words? Speaking of the prince, the prince is here?"

The eldest princess was also a little surprised and glanced at Lin Gong beside her.

Lin Gong immediately understood, bowed slightly, and went to the inner room.

After his voice faded away, the eldest princess put on a gentle smile and walked out of the palace.

"Nephew pays his respects to aunt, and wishes you eternal youth and beautiful appearance." At this time, Li Chengqian had walked in from outside. When he saw the eldest princess, he immediately smiled and bowed.

"Oh, your little mouth is so sweet today, just like it's covered with honey. It seems that you came to your aunt today with bad intentions."

"Aunt is wise. As expected, your kindness and virtue can shine a thousand miles away." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

I don't know what's going on? Li Chengqian's grinning expression made Li Mingrui feel uneasy. He didn't know how to respond for a moment, so he could only scold and laugh, "Stop joking and come in!"

Li Mingrui invited Li Chengqian into the hall, and the two sat down and were served tea.

"Tell me, what do you want to see your aunt about?"

"Hey, nephew, I have something to ask of you today."

"Oh, Your Highness, you have something else to ask of me. I'm truly flattered. Tell me about it."

"It's not a big deal, actually. My aunt is in charge of the inner treasury now. She has many talented people under her and is very knowledgeable. I wonder if she has any gold silk soft armor."

"Golden silk soft armor?"

Li Yunrui thought of many possibilities for Li Chengqian's sudden arrival, but he never expected that Li Chengqian would ask such a strange question.

What is the golden soft armor?
Looking at Li Yunrui's puzzled expression
Li Chengqian further explained, "Soft armor is just that, soft armor. It's for protection, like the kind described in those vernacular novels. It's made of gold thread or thousand-year-old silk, made like an inner garment. When worn by the protagonist, it's covered with an outer garment, and it's completely invisible from the outside. It's invulnerable to swords and spears, water and fire. If it can protect against attacks using internal energy and powerful techniques, that would be even better." Li Chengqian gestured excitedly. Vernacular novels?

Invulnerable to swords and guns, immune to water and fire?

Unable to defend against internal force, heavy techniques?
Such a good thing, I want it too!

Li Mingrui looked dejected. "Uh, um, Cheng Qian, I've never heard of this thing you're talking about."

"That's fine. There should be many skilled craftsmen in Neiku. Why not ask them if they can do it?"

"Cheng Qian, what do you want this thing for? Are you afraid that someone is going to assassinate you?"

"Hey, how is that possible?
I am in the East Palace, who has the ability to assassinate me?
I've made some breakthroughs in my martial arts training recently, so I wanted to seek revenge on my elder brother for the arrow I shot at me that year."

Li Chengqian waved his fist, his face filled with anger. "But guess what? I just got the news that Big Brother has broken through to the late Fourth Stage.

I just broke through the fourth level, so I definitely can't beat him, but I have to fight even if I can't beat him, otherwise where will I put my face? So I thought of some unconventional tricks.

Do you think that if I secretly wear this kind of gold-thread soft armor and then seek revenge on him, my chances of winning will be greater?

And even if you lose and get beaten up, with this golden soft armor on, you won't be seriously injured, right?"

You're seeking revenge on your elder brother. How come I don't know about your feud? "

"It's not a big deal." Li Chengqian picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, as if to hide his embarrassment. "Four years ago, when I stole his maid, he beat me up. Although I know what I did was wrong and I was wrong before, there's nothing I can do. I'm not as broad-minded as my father, and after getting beaten up, I always think about getting my revenge myself.

Since I can't win in a head-on battle, I have to think of some tricks. It happened that I read some casual books recently, and there was something like gold-wire soft armor in the books. I suddenly had an idea and wanted to see if I could make one. So, I asked my aunt for help.

Auntie, won't you help me?"

"You have said it so clearly, and you even appear narrow-minded. How can I not help you?" Li Yunrui showed a wry smile, "I will help you of course, but what you are talking about is after all something from those miscellaneous books and novels. Whether it can be done is still unclear. I will let my subordinates ask and see if it can be done.

However, it will probably take some time to achieve your requirements. After all, this kind of protective item cannot be taken lightly."

"Of course, I'm not in a hurry." Li Chengqian chuckled, "But, aunt, this matter must be kept secret. Don't let anyone else know. Especially don't let my father know, otherwise, I will lose face."

"You know it's shameful to do this, so why not practice martial arts well and surpass your elder brother?"

"How can it be that easy? I consider myself diligent in my training, but at my age, I'm nowhere near as good as my elder brother. Isn't this just something I can't do?"

"Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of this matter."

"Then I'll leave it to you, aunt." Li Chengqian smiled and clasped his fists towards Li Mingrui.

"I told you, there's no need for formalities between you and me." The princess took a sip of her tea and gracefully put it down. "You're already twelve years old, so don't focus so much on martial arts training. There are people in the court who are quite critical of your actions, especially the upright officials. They're all watching you now."

"Clear stream?" Li Chengqian curled his lips, "Just a group of crows."

"Don't say that. They are all ministers in the court. What's more, there is no prince like you who doesn't ask about anything and doesn't hear about anything. What? Do you want to learn from Prince Jing? You are a prince, not an ordinary prince."

"So what if I'm the prince? I'm still a child."

"The twelve-year-old prince is no longer a child, and no one will just treat you as a child. Cheng Qian, don't think your aunt is too talkative. Sometimes, you should also show your presence."

Li Chengqian shook his head. "I don't like to talk nonsense with idiots. It will lower my level."

"Just because you don't like it doesn't mean you can't do something. For some things, you can ask the people around you to step in."

"People around me? How can there be anyone around me? In the past few years, people around me have come and gone, and now there are only three left. Guo Baokun and Qin Yuan are too young, and as for Lin Gong..."

When he mentioned Lin Gong, his brows slightly furrowed, and he suddenly changed the subject, asking with a half-smile, "Speaking of Lin Gong, I think of someone. Aunt, I heard that the newly appointed Prime Minister Lin Ruofu is very close to you."
