Daqing: Reborn Prince, intercepting Si Lili at the beginning

After all, it’s winter, and it’s freezing outside. There’s nothing to do, so I can only stay in Chunxiao Tower and play chess, cards, and read books!

"His Highness is back?"

As soon as Li Chengyuan went upstairs, Sang Wen and other girls immediately surrounded him.

The main reason was that Li Chengyuan had just stayed over at Zuixianju last night, and they thought that Li Chengyuan would not come back tonight!

"Your Highness, why didn't you go to Zuixianju today?" Green Ant asked curiously.

Li Chengyuan took off his coat and shoes, sat on the warm couch, and drank hot tea made with cucumbers. He felt so comfortable.

"I don't want to go!" Hearing Green Ant's question, Li Chengyuan said, "Going there is too much suffering. I can't eat or drink well, and I can't sleep well. How can it be as comfortable as home?"

"Huh?" Green Ant asked in confusion, "Your Highness, we understand if you can't eat or drink well, but what do you mean by having trouble sleeping? There are no beautiful girls in Zuixianju?"

"That's not the case!" Li Chengyuan shook his head and said, "It's just that the women there have too many thoughts, and it's too tiring to get along with them!"

"Your Highness, isn't there a Miss Si Lili?" Sang Wen interrupted.

Li Chengyuan said: "Si Lili is even worse, she is a spy from Northern Qi. The situation between Qing Kingdom and Northern Qi is a little tense right now, and there may be a war.

If I were to provoke Si Lili at this time, and her identity were to be exposed, I wouldn't be able to explain myself!"

"But...if Your Highness doesn't go to Liujing River, how can His Majesty be disappointed in you?"

"Haha!" Li Chengyuan laughed and said, "There are many ways to disappoint His Majesty. Even if I stay at home and don't go out, wouldn't that be considered as not striving for progress? It's just that the effect won't be as good as going to Liujing River!

What's more, I made such a fuss some time ago, and now the Qing Kingdom officials' opinion of me has become worse and worse!

I feel that, if nothing unexpected happens, His Majesty has already given up on me!"

"Is that so? That's good!" The girls were relieved.

But Green Ant was still smart. After thinking for a moment, she asked again, "Your Highness, I actually have a question for you!"

Li Chengyuan smiled and said, "If you have any questions, just tell me. Why are you hesitating with me?"

Green Ant looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, we all know that your ultimate goal is to succeed to the throne.

But if you are so self-degrading now, will the Qing officialdom still accept you even if you have the chance in the future?"

Li Chengyuan laughed after hearing this.

"Why don't you accept me? You have to understand one thing: in this world, a good or bad reputation is just a means for you to accumulate strength.

What really determines victory or defeat is always hard power.

If I have the ability to ascend the throne in the future, even if I am a playboy, those officials will strongly support me and praise me for my true nature!

But if I don’t have the ability, even if I am as clean as a saint, those officials will not even look at me, and may even call me a proud and arrogant fool!

So, you must remember that history books are written by the victors.

As long as you have strength, a little notoriety is of no consequence."

Li Chengyuan is actually in the best condition now.

First of all, with the help of Emperor Qing, he has officially started his journey to become the crown prince, so no matter how he performs now, he will be qualified to become the crown prince in the future!

In other words, if Emperor Qing died now, he would be one of the candidates when the ministers nominated a successor. This is very important!

Secondly, because of his self-degradation of "not striving for progress", he has begun to be "abandoned" by Emperor Qing.

In this situation, he was the one who sat on the mountain and watched the fight between the two tigers!

He could hide behind and quietly watch the open and secret struggles between the second brother, the prince and Emperor Qing.

Then he can secretly accumulate strength and add fuel to the fire.

Finally, this was his original purpose.

Now that Emperor Qing has given up on him, it won’t be long before Fan Xian goes to Beijing!

After Fan Xian arrives in Beijing, he can act without any scruples.

By then, it will be a melee among five parties, and each party will rely on their own methods!

......

That night, Li Chengyuan stayed in Hongshu's room.

The night before, Green Ant had already opened her heart to him.

Later, during the retreat, sweet potato and cucumber also became Li Chengyuan's bedside companions.

So now, the five women in the backyard are all Li Chengyuan's women.

As a result, they got along more and more casually with Li Chengyuan, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.

.....

Just like that, another three or four days passed.

For the past three or four days, Li Chengyuan has been staying at home without going out.

He announced to the public that he wanted to study behind closed doors, so he refused to see any visitors!

Li Chengyuan's behavior made people in official circles completely "disappointed" in him.

There were officials who originally wanted to join him, but now they don’t come to him anymore.

Li Chengyuan didn't care about this.

The quality of followers is more important than their quantity.

A bunch of fence-sitters, no matter how much he asks for, it will be useless.

He had no intention of using court tactics to suppress others.

He now has no foundation in the court, so he can just sit back and watch the second son and the prince fight each other to the death.

On the contrary, if he recruited some followers, then the three of them would be fighting each other, and the nature of the fight would be different!

......

After being cooped up at home for three or four days, Li Chengyuan felt a little bored.

Just at this moment, the good news he had been waiting for finally came.

Just this morning, His Majesty suddenly issued an edict, announcing to all the civil and military officials in the court that whoever could marry Princess Lin Wan'er would be able to take over the financial power of the inner treasury!

As soon as this news came out, the entire court was in chaos.

Everyone in the court knew how important the Neiku was.

And for such an important power, His Majesty actually said that whoever marries Lin Wan'er can take over the inner treasury!

What a great opportunity this is!

If nothing unexpected happens, starting from today, the young masters of each family will try every possible way to get close to Lin Wan'er.

However, at this time, apart from Emperor Qing, it is estimated that only Li Chengyuan knows the truth.

This purpose is a preparation for one person from the beginning to the end.

It's already the end of the year, and the Chinese New Year is just two or three days away.

Spring comes after the New Year.

According to the plot, Fan Xian seems to have arrived in Kyoto at the beginning of spring!

This day is not far away!

Li Chengyuan is now looking forward to this day more and more.

He was in a good mood and just wanted to go out for a walk.

But suddenly I heard a servant report that the eldest princess wanted to see me!

Chapter 47: Crazy criticism of Li Yunrui! Thrilling!

The eldest princess Li Yunrui is a woman in the palace whose scheming, wisdom and means are comparable to those of Emperor Qing.

Li Yunrui dealt with five men throughout her life.

In addition to her lifelong enemy Fan Xian, Emperor Qing, Lin Ruofu, the Crown Prince, and the Second Prince all have close ties with her.

Emperor Qing is the love of her life.

Lin Ruofu was the person she found to take over.

The Crown Prince was the object of her affair with the Emperor Qing.

Only the second prince was always used by her, and he was even the only one among the four men who did not get her body.

For Li Yunrui, there is no one in this world whom she cannot give up.

She is the ultimate egoist.

Just like Lin Ruofu's evaluation of her, this woman is crazy!

When she goes crazy, she not only tortures herself, but also others!

So for a woman like this, Li Chengyuan absolutely doesn't want to have any interest involvement with her.

What's more, Li Yunrui was also one of the participants in the murder of Ye Qingmei!

So Li Chengyuan and Li Yunrui are destined to be enemies!

...

In the Imperial Palace, in front of Guangxin Palace.

Li Chengyuan looked at the deep palace entrance with his eyes slightly narrowed. After stopping for a moment, he walked in.

Led by the palace maid, Li Chengyuan soon met Li Yunrui.

In the empty hall, Li Yunrui was lying on a low couch in a thin dress, barefoot and legs, and her snow-white skin was faintly visible under the gauze clothes!

Li Yunrui just lay on the low couch on her side, looking at Li Chengyuan who walked in with an enchanting posture.

When Li Chengyuan saw Li Yunrui like this, his eyes suddenly fixed and he couldn't help but curse in his heart!

He knew Li Yunrui was crazy!

But I didn’t expect Li Yunrui to be so crazy!

This was happening in broad daylight, deep in the palace, and he actually openly seduced a prince?
