Film and Television: Immortality Begins in the Kingdom of Qing

Only after leaving the Cloud Palace did he slowly exhale, as if he had accomplished something great.

Seeing this, Eunuch Hou hurriedly spoke up:

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. His Highness is just like that. You must take care of your health."

To his surprise, Emperor Qing turned his head and gave him a cold look.

"Fool, who said I was angry?" He then put on a smile.

"This old servant is dull-witted."

"Very well, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll just give you a little nudge, you old servant. Do you know what I asked in the end?"

"Wasn't His Majesty asking about the Minister of Rites' precious son?"

"What a joke! What does it matter to me whether his son lives or dies? I'm asking about the Crown Prince!"

Eunuch Hou immediately realized what was happening and smiled ingratiatingly:

"His Majesty is truly wise and mighty. If His Highness the Crown Prince knew of His Majesty's good intentions, he would surely be very respectful to His Majesty."

"Filial piety? Give me a break. If I don't intervene, he'll be finished this time."

"Remember to send over the eighth-grade spiritual herbs from my private treasury."

Thinking of this, Emperor Qing felt a pang of heartache.

"Don't forget to go to the Eastern Palace and convey my imperial edict: Crown Prince Li Chengqian is ignorant and incompetent, and he cannot recognize talent."

He's being fined a year's salary; I can't pay that out myself, he has to earn it back.

"This old servant will go right away."

A moment later, Crown Prince Li Chengqian went numb!

"What? Father Emperor is punishing me with a year's salary for the Eastern Palace?"

Li Chengqian stared at Eunuch Hou in disbelief, completely dumbfounded.

What happened when I went out early in the morning and encountered this?

This isn't about money; it's about punishment, and it represents dissatisfaction.

I haven't done anything particularly bad lately.

If you run out of money, you can just go to the inner palace to ask for it back, but that will displease Emperor Qing. How can this matter be resolved?

Realizing this, Li Chengqian hurriedly took out a pearl from his sleeve and secretly slipped it into Eunuch Hou's hand.

"Oh, Your Highness, this will not do."

"Eunuch Hou has been accompanying the Emperor every day, and his contributions are great. I am rewarding you!"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Hou laughed. It was a reward from his master; for someone in his position, it was quite normal.

And why did the Emperor specifically give me these pointers just now? Wasn't it to let me know what was going on?

As Emperor Qing's personal eunuch, one sometimes had to be foolish, but sometimes being truly foolish meant certain death.

Then, Eunuch Hou looked around.

Li Chengqian instantly understood and quickly dismissed his attendants.

“Your Highness, it’s not that His Majesty wants to punish you, it’s just that you’ve offended that little ancestor of Yuntian Palace.”

Li Chengqian was even more bewildered.

What did I do wrong? Did I provoke him?

There wasn't even time to hide!

"No, I just summoned the officials of the Eastern Palace the day before yesterday and said that I wanted to be on good terms with Yuntian Palace. How could I possibly offend them? Do you think Father Emperor has made a mistake?"

Li Chengqian said with certainty.

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Hou was puzzled.

Are you sure you want to befriend them?

"That's right, I absolutely did not mean anything by it."

"That's strange. Could it be that Guo Baokun, the son of the Minister of Rites, the compiler of the Crown Prince's documents, and your nominal companion, isn't actually one of your people?"

I'm completely baffled.

This is utterly absurd, no less than questioning whether Li Chengqian is Emperor Qing's son.

"What! Guo Baokun!"

Li Chengqian froze on the spot. He might make a stupid mistake, but sometimes he could still understand logic.

"Go to hell! How could Guo Baokun possibly offend Li Chengxian? He must be crazy."

"Whether he's mad or not, this servant doesn't know, but judging from your expression, he's definitely one of your men. This old servant will refrain from speaking here; the rest is up to Your Highness to investigate."

With that, Eunuch Hou bowed and turned to leave.

at the same time.

The Prince of Wei's Mansion in the capital.

Upon hearing the report from the Ye family's servants, Princess Consort Ye Ling'er strode into Li Chengze's study.

The latter did not return home last night, and usually stays in the palace.

But today, I learned from Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu that the prince has been staying in his study since he returned early this morning.

Ye Ling'er then relayed the information from the Ye family's servants and realized that something must have happened.

bang.

Ye Ling'er pushed open the study door and immediately saw Li Chengze staring blankly at a painting of a tiger roaring in the mountains.

"Li Chengze! Tell me, what exactly happened last night!"

Ye Ling'er was no longer the gentle girl she had been before; her fiery personality was on full display as she shouted at Li Chengze.

Surprisingly, Li Chengze showed no fear whatsoever.

With a calm expression, without even turning around, he said softly:

"When a tiger roars in the mountains, all the beasts are terrified. If it stays deep in the forest for a long time, wouldn't that lead to the saying, 'When the tiger is away, the monkeys reign supreme'?"

"What's the meaning!"

Ye Ling'er said coldly.

Tiger is not a good word for women.

Just as having a shrewish wife is like having a tiger at home, it's extremely terrifying.

Is Li Chengze tired of living? How dare he call me a tigress or mock me as a monkey?

Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Ling'er stepped forward, grabbed Li Chengze's head, straightened it, and made him look at her.

This is forcibly interrupting the spellcasting!

Looking at Li Chengze's defiant expression, Ye Ling'er said coldly again:

"Tell me, the Ye family came to report early this morning that my father received a tip last night and went to Zuixianfang to arrest the Northern Qi spy."

"Coincidentally, you said yesterday that you were hosting a banquet for distinguished guests at Zuixianfang tonight, and you withdrew a considerable amount of silver from your residence. What exactly happened?"

Li Chengze settled in Bengbu.

This woman is still so fierce, she'll fight at the drop of a hat, but she has such a virtuous wife outside the home. What more could one ask for in this world? She's quite the actress.

These are all mistakes made when you're young; you've gone too far with freedom.

"Let go! Let me go!"

Li Chengze has always been refined and extravagant; how could he be so easily subdued by a woman?

Who knew?

Ye Ling'er kicked Li Chengze twice, knocking him to his knees.

He turned around, sat down in the armchair, and coldly said:

"I don't want to hit you today. Kneel down and tell me honestly what happened last night."

Why did the general guarding the capital rush to the Ye residence early this morning to report that his father had been on duty all night and had not returned, and his whereabouts were unknown?

He's too old to mess around with you. If you like to have affairs, I don't care, but you can't involve my Ye family.

Upon hearing this, Li Chengze laughed in a very unusual way.

"Hehe, hehehe, you Ye family."

As he was speaking, he tried to struggle to get up, but instead Ye Ling'er kicked him in the shoulder.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! You crazy woman!"

He immediately recognized the true nature of the world, distinguished between the kings and queens, and obediently knelt on the ground.

"Speak up, stop with the sarcastic remarks. If you don't honestly explain yourself today, I'll go to the Emperor's office to file a complaint tomorrow."

"Let the Emperor teach you a lesson, you womanizing prince. I'm not afraid of you."

hiss.

Li Chengze rubbed his shoulders and gave a self-deprecating sneer.

"That's right, your Ye family is indeed not afraid of or cares about me, a prince. Do you know that I hosted a banquet for distinguished guests last night?"

Your father said he received a report and came to cause trouble, but I pleaded with him in a kind and gentle manner, only to be met with him showing no respect whatsoever.

Do you know that when I boarded the ship, all the talented scholars, writers, princes, nobles, and sons of the capital saw me?

Did you know that Prince Jing's heir was also present?

Did you know that the eldest princess of Northern Qi was also present?

But the arrogance of your Ye family patriarch is truly extraordinary; he shows no regard for sentiment whatsoever. Two princes and a princess—does he consider himself the garrison commander of the capital, or the emperor of Southern Qing?

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling'er turned pale. Li Chengze's tone was clearly off, and he even mentioned Emperor Qing.
