Film and Television: Immortality Begins in the Kingdom of Qing

Empress Dowager Nanqing, who had just finished dinner and was planning to take a stroll in the back garden, was so shocked by the news brought back by Hong Siyang that she almost died on the spot.

Coincidentally, Princess Li Yunrui of Nanqing was also by her side, her mind already fogged up.

If a few days ago, Li Chengxian helped Li Chengqian obtain the position of crown prince and temporarily gained some power, then this time she completely disregarded Emperor Qing.

Isn't he useless now?

This was something Li Yunrui couldn't comprehend at all.

Similarly, Empress Dowager Nanqing allowed Hong Siyang to speak so openly, which was also intentionally overheard by Li Yunrui, who knew that the other party had stayed overnight at Yuntian Palace a few days ago.

"Sigh, this father and son are really a pair of enemies. They're always fighting and bickering. It seems that trouble is brewing in Qing Kingdom again."

What could the old lady say?

One is a domineering emperor who holds real power, and the other is a dragon cub who can rebel against the Heavenly Gang at the age of fifteen.

However, a little fighting and commotion is fine; after all, we're family.

She believed that both of them knew their limits, and that only those idiots would be courting death.

Back when no one knew that Emperor Qing had built the Cloud Palace, he would often secretly burst into laughter.

However, only Li Yunrui, who was completely unaware of the situation, called out with a hint of blame:

"How could Emperor Qing bestow the eldest princess of Northern Qi upon Li Chengxian? No, absolutely not!"

Empress Dowager Nanqing's eyes turned cold, and she subconsciously wanted to do what she used to do and have Hong Siyang give her a hard slap.

But soon, as if realizing something, he was speechless. None of the capable men in the royal Li family were any good.

"Shut up! How dare you discuss the emperor?"

However, as her own aunt, Empress Dowager Nanqing still reprimanded her.

Hearing this tone, Li Yunrui's face turned pale, also thinking that he was about to be slapped again.

She knew all too well the extent to which the old lady before her would go to uphold imperial power.

It is precisely because of Empress Dowager Nanqing's style that she is respected by everyone.

The current strength of Nanqing can be attributed to the Empress Dowager of Nanqing by a third.

"I've said it countless times, even if you are the current Emperor Qing's younger sister, you have no right to discuss the Emperor's decisions."

Emperor Qing could do whatever he wanted because he was qualified, especially since he was an emperor who ascended the throne with a sword.

For the sake of that little brat, I won't hit you this time, but you need to know why I made you listen earlier.

You think that kid is simple? Do you know that he imprisoned himself in Yuntian Palace, not Emperor Qing?

Do you know what that little brat is trying to do?

What he wants is something that not only my Southern Qing Dynasty, but also all the emperors in history have failed to achieve.

Fearing that Li Yunrui might not keep a secret, Empress Dowager Nanqing chose not to tell her the contents of the secret talks between Li Chengxian and Emperor Qing five years ago after the war.

After all, even the Empress Dowager of Nanqing thought that this dragon cub might have gone mad.

But Hong Siyang secretly said that Li Chengxian had now reached the eighth rank of perfection.

He could suddenly become a ninth-rank grandmaster at any time, and could become one of the highest beings in the entire Southern Qing Dynasty, or even the world.

Moreover, there are the unpredictable Seven Armies of the Heavenly Palace, who are also constantly growing stronger.

Such unprecedented events happening to a single teenager—if he's not insane, then he's a legend.

After all, Empress Dowager Nanqing had met Ye Qingmei and knew some unknown secrets. Of course, she also hoped that the legendary event would happen in her own royal family.

Li Yunrui, on the other hand, was completely taken aback.

Even the Empress Dowager of Nanqing yielded; what exactly did Li Chengxian do?

Li Yunrui was confident that she understood every single hair on Li Chengxian's head, but why was there always another veil covering her face just when she thought she had seen through him?

It's shocking and terrifying.

"Yunrui knows he was wrong, and hopes that Mother will not blame him."

Now the Empress Dowager of Nanqing has settled in Bengbu.

Li Yunrui has never bowed his head unless he is beaten into submission. Unexpectedly, this little dragon is even more of a womanizer than he imagined, and he can even control this kind of woman.

"Just know that, and don't worry about what that little brat is up to. It's not something you can find out unless he tells you himself."

Oh, by the way, Little Itch, have the imperial kitchen make a dish of steamed pork with rice flour and send it to that little brat.

I hope he'll have more time to visit this old lady; all he does all day is stay in the Cloud Palace.

It was built for him, not for him to use as a facade.

Li Yunrui, who was preoccupied with her own thoughts, left the Empress Dowager's palace and bumped into Crown Prince Li Chengqian, who was trying to go to Emperor Qing's place to find out information.

Seeing the other person's hesitant and flustered appearance, I was speechless.

Why is it that, despite both being sons of Emperor Qing, one soars through the sky while the other sinks to the bottom of the water?

What's even more shameful is that this guy is just as lecherous as Li Chengxian, but the former is extremely picky, while the latter is indiscriminate in his lust!

Is it true that among the nine sons of an emperor, one must be a coward?

Every minister in the Southern Qing court knows that the current Crown Prince Li Chengqian started harming the palace maids around him when he was very young.

As a result, some officials with ulterior motives, in order to curry favor with Li Chengqian, who was now the crown prince, sent the beauties they had chosen to the Eastern Palace through connections.

"What are you rushing off to do in such a panic?"

Li Yunrui frowned and called out to Li Chengqian.

"Aunt... Aunt."

"Your Highness, the Eldest Princess."

Li Chengqian, who has just become the crown prince, now takes his attendants and lackey Guo Baokun, a scribe, with him whenever he leaves the palace in order to show off his status.

Before Li Yunrui could speak again, Li Chengqian said in a panic:

"Father has withdrawn the engagement with Li Chengmin, and the eldest princess of Northern Qi will arrive in the capital soon..."

Before Li Chengqian could finish speaking, Li Yunrui waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Look at your pathetic self. Even if I were to give it to you, so what? If you were truly confident that you could ascend the throne, would you care about having another princess from Northern Qi by your side?"

"Let me tell you, I already know the reason, and it certainly isn't you or Li Chengze."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, a shout came from a great distance.

"My dear elder brother, instead of staying in your Eastern Palace singing and dancing and enjoying the flattery of the officials, you've come to Father Emperor's palace to pay your respects? Since when has our Southern Qing Crown Prince become so filial?"

Then, the Second Prince Li Chengze swaggered over with his two bodyguards.

"aunt!"

"Your Highness, the Eldest Princess."

Li Yunrui couldn't help but roll his eyes. He rarely saw these two brothers, but at the slightest sign of trouble, they ran faster than rabbits.

What are you doing here again?

Li Chengze glanced at Li Chengqian, hesitating whether to speak.

"Don't tell me you're also here for the Northern Qi's eldest princess?"

"No, Aunt, Father gave the red armor to Fan Jian, the Vice Minister of Revenue, apparently to have him bring his illegitimate son, whom he raised in Danzhou, to the capital."

"Your steward just told me you were in the palace with the Empress Dowager, so I rushed over."

Li Yunrui's face turned gloomy.

Have we finally reached this point?

What a bunch of useless people. It seems the people I sent didn't solve this big problem.

But now that brat already has two factions around him, and now even Emperor Qing has made a move, what should we do?

Are we simply forced to accept our fate and relinquish control of the Imperial Treasury?

To lose power is more cruel than losing one's life.

But with Emperor Qing's shadow looming over this route, who would dare to make a move?

Li Yunrui kept thinking, and then thought of someone again.

"It seems that Wan'er's engagement is still valid. Should we inform him about this?"

He once said that if anyone dared to reach for what he wanted, he would crush their claws.

Even though doing this will make me a laughing stock, so what?

he?

Li Chengze looked at Li Chengqian, not understanding who his aunt was referring to.

Li Chengqian's face turned ugly, and he turned and ran away with his lackeys, looking slightly flustered.

Only Li Chengze, seemingly unconcerned about stirring things up, asked:

"Whom is my aunt referring to?"

"You want to know?"

"If I could know."

"Forget it, you'll come into contact with it sooner or later. Send your guards back and come with me. The area is strictly regulated and no one is allowed to enter at will."

With that, Li Yunrui led Li Chengze toward the easternmost part of the Southern Qing Imperial Palace.

The entire Nanqing Imperial Palace also maintained the layout of the east being noble and the west being lowly.

Originally, the easternmost part was Emperor Qing's study and bedroom. For some reason, Emperor Qing always summoned his ministers in his study and rarely used the main hall in the center of the palace.

When Yuntian Palace was being built, it was Emperor Qing who took the initiative to request that it be built on the due east side. At the time, the Ministry of Works thought that their emperor was preparing to move to a new residence.

Li Chengze became increasingly confused as he walked.
