Chapter Ninety-Six: The Prince Arrives

It's just that no matter how good the plan is, it can't catch up with the changes. Just when the father and son were planning in the study, there was a careful knock on the door from the housekeeper. Li Chengning frowned, turned around and went out to answer the door, but when he came back after a while, the remaining two people found that his whole face had become extremely difficult to see in an instant, which made Li Chengyu, who was still asking questions, immediately silenced.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned with his eldest brother." Without waiting for Li Shouli to ask, Li Chengning had already opened his mouth in a dumb voice: "I am in the flower hall in front now, saying that I am waiting to see you, father." ”

This really means that Cao Cao Cao has arrived. Li Shouli's eyebrows were about to wrinkle: "Chenghong brought him back?" When did the two of them get so close? "Don't talk about respecting and staying away, I actually took the initiative to get involved in the relationship, and I also gave people to the consulate, this time, this thing doesn't look like it can be good.

"Father doesn't have to think about it, it's always okay to meet him first." Li Chengning persuaded: "The eldest brother doesn't really have so much to do with His Royal Highness the Prince, let's go and find out." "It's always taboo to speculate out of thin air, it's better to face it calmly, but to be more straightforward.

And when the group of three people was changing their clothes and thinking about rushing to the front hall, a man in a crescent white brocade robe was standing tall and jade, standing in front of the window and staring at the scenery in the courtyard, and his handsome face was full of peace: "This garden is well arranged, I don't know if it comes from the hand of King Yong?" ”

"If you go back to Your Highness, it is my father who takes care of it." Li Chenghong, who was dressed in a crow-blue robe, had a face like a crown of jade, fluttering like an ancient gentleman, and looked very free and handsome: "It is really rare to get a word of praise from His Royal Highness, and I am happy to think of my father." He was just going out on business today, but he didn't expect to meet the prince in the teahouse, and when the two talked happily, His Royal Highness asked to visit the palace. In the end, it is the difference between monarchs and ministers, even if he feels that it is inappropriate in his heart, he has no qualifications to refuse verbally. So, in desperation, he had no choice but to take Li Chongjun back to his house, only hoping that this meeting could end as soon as possible and not cause any more trouble.

"King Yong has hills and ravines in his chest, but he is quite leisurely and elegant." Muttering in a low voice, Li Chongjun continued unintentionally: "You haven't been in Shendu for a long time, are you still used to everything?" It's also a shame to say that when Jincheng was in the palace that day, I couldn't take care of it more, and now that you are here, the right should be my compensation. If there is any difficulty, just ask me, I can help, and I will not be stingy. ”

"Your Highness, this is serious, it is really a pain in the Weichen family!" Giving gifts again and again, Li Chenghong's face was already a little frightened: "Her Royal Highness Princess Jincheng bears the heavy responsibility of the marriage between the two countries, it is the will of heaven, and it should be divided." I, the people of the Yongwang Mansion, never dare to be greedy for this credit, and please don't worry about it, Your Royal Highness the Prince! ”

What are the hills and valleys in the chest, and there are compensations and the like, Li Chenghong just listened, he couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp, and always felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a deep meaning between the lines, but as soon as he didn't pay attention, he would step into the trap set by the other party, and then he couldn't get out, and he couldn't recover. You must know that people in the royal family never say a word of nonsense, and Li Chongjun shows favor to his family for no reason, so it must have ulterior motives. Moreover, it was not their willingness for their little sister to marry Tubo, but it was a forced move under the imperial power, and he mentioned it at this time, which always seemed ill-intentioned, and Tao Yao had never said that he had intersected with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the palace before, which had to make Li Chenghong subconsciously increase his vigilance.

Li Chongjun turned his head to look at him, and he didn't see how angry, but raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh, yes? Don't you dare to be greedy, or do you just want to draw a line with this palace? ”

He is not a fool, the wind in the Shendu is so tight, and he is naturally in the center of the city knows better than anyone else. However, the time he has been in the Divine Capital for a long time is not long, even if he has spent countless efforts, whether it is the depth of his wealth or the management of his connections, it is also a world of difference compared to Wei's who has been rooted here all the year round. Not to mention that now he has to add his invincible imperial sister, as well as Liang Wangwu Sansi's family, every time he acts, he will inevitably be overstretched. He supported himself independently, and he worked hard until today, and he was basically exhausted, so he was anxious to find some foreign aid for himself to deal with the situation after that.

In fact, there are many old forces in the Divine Capital, and there are not a few major families that are intertwined, and there are not a few who have excellent means. But his current situation is not good enough, and he has not been able to recover everyone by himself, in order to avoid falling into the trap set by others, and to ensure the complete innocence of his own camp, he simply did not contact those people at both ends of the first rat, but came to find the Yongwang family who had only recently entered Beijing for the first time. One is because they have a clean foundation, except for his father, they have not been paid attention to by anyone, and the other is because they have always been friendly with the Gao Mansion who holds military power, and secondly, there is also the relationship between Princess Jincheng who is married far away, no matter what, they should not refuse their approach. I heard that Princess Jincheng and his relatives were forced by Wei's family, and the so-called enemies of the enemy are friends, and he is willing to help them, as long as the people of Yongwangfu still have brains, they will choose to accept it.

"Whoever comes is a guest, let alone a guest like His Highness? It's too late to really make Peng Sheng shine, and it's too late to welcome, so how can there be a clear line! Just when Li Chenghong was thinking about how to speak, Li Shouli, who had changed into a brocade robe, had already strode in from outside the flower hall with his other two sons, and his face was still handsome after weathering the wind and frost with a hearty smile: "I don't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming, I am really sorry that I missed the welcome!" I hope that Your Highness has a lot of them, don't worry about me! ”

"King Yong is polite." With a smile in return, Li Chongjun quickly looked at the four men standing in the hall, but there was a faint sense of satisfaction and appreciation in his heart. After all, it is the bloodline of Prince Zhang Huai, and his character and talent cannot be underestimated, and it is no wonder that Emperor Wu was so jealous back then, not only shelving them in Chang'an, but also summoning the young Taoyao County Lord into Beijing as a hostage. Sure enough, everything happens for a reason.

"I can't hide it, this palace came a few days before yesterday because I have something to discuss with you." From Li Chenghong's attitude, Li Chongjun realized that blindly showing favor was not a good policy, so he brought his self-claim as soon as he opened his mouth, which can be regarded as a reminder: "If King Yong doesn't mind, then let's make it clear here." ”
