……
Li Yunrui also noticed Li Chengxian's attitude and smiled slightly:
"Then I'll be blunt. Do you see this man? He's the current Empress's eldest son."
Li Chengxian reacted instantly.
It seems that even after being dealt with, Li Yunrui still harbors great ambitions, perhaps because he had too much contact with Ye Qingmei and still has some obsessions about certain things.
It's important to know that in the generation of Emperor Qing, the competition among the princes wasn't just about the princes being outstanding; the one before us also possessed astonishing talent.
But it doesn't matter, she needs to have something to do.
But Li Chengxian wanted to tease this beautiful woman.
Because he had spent a lot of his achievement points to exchange for a youth-preserving pill from the Longevity Vault in order to win the beauty's heart, Li Yunrui was even more charming than he had imagined.
"The legitimate son, what happened to the legitimate son?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yunrui let out a soft snort and snatched the chopsticks from Li Chengxian's hand.
"What do you mean, 'what's wrong'? Emperor Qing is getting old day by day, and Southern Qing has not yet established an heir. The entire court is in a precarious position. You are, after all, a member of the royal family. Are you just going to stand by and watch?"
That's exactly what it was about.
Emperor Qing, in order to conceal his cultivation level and strength, is precisely why he appears to be growing old day by day.
Who could have known that this guy was a ninth-rank Grandmaster, or even a Grandmaster at the Great Perfection, with a lifespan of up to two hundred years, achieving something that no emperor in the entire Li imperial family had ever accomplished?
Li Chengxian pulled Li Yunrui into her arms, deliberately acting mischievous:
"The matter of choosing an heir is something that Emperor Qing should worry about. What does it have to do with me? Besides, I have no intention of becoming emperor. It's enough for me to spend my days finding beauties and practicing martial arts."
Snapped.
Li Yunrui slapped away Li Chengxian's mischievous hand, but couldn't break free, and let out another soft moan:
"Don't move, let's get down to business. I want him to be the crown prince, so what!"
That's exactly the kind of playful, unreasonable behavior that a beautiful woman should have.
"Very well, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, what's his name again?"
"Li Chengqian! The Empress's legitimate son, the Third Prince Li Chengqian!"
"Hmm, not a bad name, 'Yi Cheng Qian Kun'. At worst, I'll find that old man Deng and have a match with him, I'll definitely make him agree."
"But I've gone to such great lengths, how are you going to thank me?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yunrui burst into laughter, covering her mouth and chuckling softly.
"How do you want to thank me?" she asked, while extending her slender finger to tap Li Chengxian's forehead.
It's a bit mischievous, but given their long-standing relationship, it's just right.
Li Chengxian coughed deliberately, then said calmly:
"Tianquan, go and tell Emperor Qing that the country cannot be without an heir for even a day."
To avoid him passing away suddenly in his old age and frailty, it's best to establish an heir as soon as possible, so as to be worthy of the ancestors of the Li imperial family.
Of course, the Empress's third son, well, he's quite handsome, a real talent; please recommend him as the best candidate for heir apparent.
Chapter 5: I've already dared to rebel, why should I care what he thinks? [Please add to your favorites]
"As Your Highness commands."
Seeing that Tianquan had actually gone to deliver the message, Li Chengqian was completely dumbfounded.
Although I've never met him, I've only heard that I have such a formidable older brother.
However, Li Chengqian did not expect the other party to be so audacious.
That's Emperor Qing, the emperor who seized power through bloodshed and whose authority over the entire Southern Qing Dynasty is absolute. Who would dare to show the slightest disrespect to him?
Even princes were no exception.
But what the hell was that? Old Deng, he's passed away, old and frail, what kind of traitorous talk is that?
If you're just passing on a message, why don't you just stamp it and issue an imperial decree?
What is the proper procedure for issuing an imperial edict to Emperor Qing?
Arrogant, absolutely arrogant.
Li Chengqian was terrified that he would not see the sun rise tomorrow. He was as if he were seriously ill, trembling all over and sweating profusely.
Even Li Yunrui's gaze towards Li Chengxian changed; this woman was still afraid.
After all, Li Yunrui had personally witnessed Emperor Qing's meteoric rise to the throne and knew exactly what kind of person he was.
"Chengxian, is there something wrong with what you said?"
"Oh, what's wrong? Wasn't he supposed to be made crown prince?"
"Hmph, that's not what I meant. Aren't your words a bit disrespectful to Emperor Qing?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengxian couldn't help but laugh; teasing a beauty was quite amusing.
"I dare to rebel, why would I care what that old Deng thinks?" After saying that, he suddenly raised his foot and kicked Li Chengqian.
Before the latter could even react, she fell to the ground, staring wide-eyed at Li Chengxian, completely bewildered.
"Hey, see? Even though I've never met him, he didn't dare to utter a sound just because he was kicked. He has no backbone. Look at that aggrieved expression."
"Frankly, do you think my younger brother is fit to be emperor? If he were to succeed, the ancestors of the Li imperial family would be turning in their graves."
Li Yunrui picked up a piece of steamed pork and shoved it viciously into Li Chengxian's mouth.
"Even food can't shut you up."
"Hmm... this meat is really white, and this powder is really fragrant."
As Li Chengqian got up, a sense of hatred rose in his heart. He was the legitimate son of the Empress of Nanqing. When had he ever been looked down upon like this?
Moreover, the other party was merely a prince imprisoned in the palace.
Soon, Tianquan returned, accompanied by Hong Siyang.
Li Yunrui knew something, but Li Chengqian bowed slightly when he saw this powerful eunuch who held absolute power in the palace.
Hong Siyang glanced at the two people cuddling together, but showed no surprise. Instead, he whispered:
"Your Highness, His Majesty said: It's just the position of Crown Prince, I've granted it, but there can't be a next time. Children don't understand matters of the court!"
Furthermore, I am old but still vigorous, and even if you die, he will not. Also, order the Eldest Princess and the Third Prince to go see him immediately.
Instantly.
Li Yunrui and Li Chengqian trembled in fright.
Li Chengxian patted the beauty in his arms and laughed:
"What's wrong? You've already done it, why are you afraid of being scolded? This old Deng is really unforgiving."
Li Yunrui stood up, her gaze towards Li Chengxian becoming complicated.
"I didn't expect him to agree so readily."
That was the position of Crown Prince of Nanqing, and it was taken away just because of one sentence from Li Chengxian?
You're kidding me!
For two whole years, civil and military officials vied for this position.
Moreover, Emperor Qing's reply, though seemingly somewhat accusatory, was filled with a sense of intimacy and doting affection.
Is this the eldest prince of the abandoned Yuntian Palace?
If you told him that he was the real crown prince, Li Yunrui would believe you.
But the truth is so contradictory. I can't understand the relationship between these two men, but the more I think about it, the more charming Lee Seung-sun's charm becomes.
"Ah, Emperor Qing is too kind, my beauty..."
"Ahem, Your Highness, you should address her as the Eldest Princess."
Li Chengxian was just about to say something.
However, Hong Si coughed dryly.
"Your Highness, I have already delivered what you requested."
"Uncle Hong, it's alright, there are no outsiders here." Li Chengxian said with a smile, but his eyes were looking at Li Chengqian.
The meaning is clear: everything's settled, so what are you still doing here?
Li Chengqian, however, looked at Li Yunrui.
The latter laughed and said, "The Third Prince should go see His Majesty himself. I'm afraid too, so I'll stay here in Yuntian Palace today and not go out!"
Li Chengqian looked incredulous once again.
Did the Princess of Nanqing spend the night at Yuntian Palace?
You are probably the ones who blew up the coffin lids of the Li imperial family's ancestors.
Originally, there was still a hint of longing for Li Yunrui, and the desire to carry on the glorious bloodline of the Li family.
Now Li Chengqian is completely finished, and he's fighting over a woman with someone who can influence Emperor Qing?
He's a womanizer, not a moron. His IQ instantly went online. Didn't you see that even the eunuch Hong Siyang was very respectful to Li Chengxian?
but.
Having finally secured the position of Crown Prince, Li Chengqian felt a surge of excitement and quickly bowed as he withdrew.
Now that the dust has settled, what harm is there in facing Emperor Qing head-on?
Looking at that unsteady figure, Li Chengxian's lips curled up slightly:
"I hope these idiots can bring some fun to my mundane life."
Fun?
You think you're in a brothel?
Snapped.
