Chapter 64: There's Your Place
Chapter 64 There is a place for you
"In order to pacify the border, Yan Gu has made great military achievements, and he is the new rich man in the capital!"
"Now that he has become the director of the Secret Guard Department, he will probably be criticized by people above the imperial court in the future."
Emperor Yan glanced at him: "Don't worry, Yan Gu is much tougher than you. Since he has decided to become the Secretary, he will be mentally prepared. Don't worry about him."
"Worry more about yourself!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but said: "Besides, I'm not doing all this just for you. Your mother passed away early, and you are so mediocre and timid in doing things. How can you behave like a prince at all?"
"
"There are voices in this court that want you to be deposed."
"I have been protecting you all these years. Do you still care about other people?"
Li Chengmin: “…”
Of course he knew there was someone in the court who deposed him.
He lowered his eyes and said: "I know that I am not as smart and capable as my second brother, nor as well-rounded as my second brother. But since I will be the prince for a day, naturally I can't just think about myself!"
Emperor Yan was furious when he saw him like this: "You!"
The words were on his lips, but looking at his appearance, he thought about it and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, I know what you mean. This matter has been settled, so just leave it alone!"
"After you finish eating, go and deal with those memorials for me."
Although this son looks useless, I have to say that he is indeed good-natured.
A king must have this.
Li Chengmin: “…”
He said in a low voice: "My son, I understand."
But he still felt something was wrong.
But he knew very clearly what kind of person his father was. How could he change the things he decided with just a few words?
Emperor Yan became angry when he saw him like this and threw away his chopsticks after taking two bites.
Li Chengmin didn't care. He ordered someone to pick up the chopsticks and clear the table, then he bowed: "My son, I have gone to handle official business."
Emperor Yan waved his hand impatiently, and Li Chengmin stepped back. He seemed to be neither annoyed nor angry. This look made people helpless. He said to Eunuch Zheng on the side: "Tell me about this prince, he, he looks like this."
Like who?"
Eunuch Zheng chuckled: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is naturally like the Holy Emperor and the Queen."
When Emperor Yan heard that he mentioned the Queen, he was slightly startled, his impatient expression faded, and he rubbed his eyebrows: "Why don't I understand what he means? It's just that he has such a temper. I won't handle the court for him."
I have to deal with all the hidden dangers in the hall, and I'm afraid that when he ascends the throne, he won't know what will happen."
Eunuch Zheng said hurriedly: "His Royal Highness must be able to understand the emperor's thoughts."
"His Royal Highness also has a good relationship with Marquis Xinyang, he is just worried about Marquis Xinyang!"
Emperor Yan was startled for a moment: "I also know, but I have picked this matter over and over again among the civil and military officials of the dynasty. Apart from Yan Yu, there is no one else who can make me feel at ease."
After saying that, he added: "After all, this inkstone and his sister are only related to me and have no other relatives. For such obscure and private matters, I can use him most safely."
Eunuch Zheng said hurriedly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely understand."
Emperor Yan smiled sarcastically: "I'm afraid that bastard, even if he understands, he is still soft-hearted and unfair to the inkstone."
Having said this, he thought for a while and then fell silent: "But this matter is really unfair to Yan Gu."
Eunuch Zheng advised: "Your Majesty is also doing it for Dayan. Marquis Xinyang is able to live today because of the Emperor's favor. It is right to share the Emperor's worries. Marquis Xinyang will understand."
Emperor Yan leaned slightly on the stool behind him: "Well, Yan Gu will understand!"
Having said this, he still felt a little guilty after all, and raised his head again: "By the way, I heard before that Chengzhou also caused some trouble at his housewarming party?"
Eunuch Zheng: "Yes!"
Emperor Yan's face darkened: "Tell that beast to get out of here."
"yes."
………
In the private room on the right side of the top floor of the first floor of the capital.
Li Chengzhou came in from the outside with a cold face. When the woman inside saw him coming in, her eyes lit up and she immediately took a step forward happily: "Your Highness, are you here?"
After saying that, she stepped forward and took his arm affectionately.
Just as he stretched out his hand, Li Chengzhou pulled his arm back and sat down opposite her with a gloomy look. He looked at her coldly and said directly: "Your grandmother went to my house to propose marriage. It's you.
Did you ask her to go?"
The woman opposite him is Chi Nanyu.
At this time, she was looking at Li Chengzhou who had taken his arm away from her with a stiff expression. When she listened to his words, her palms clenched tightly, and her heart felt like needles pricking her. However, she tried her best to endure it, with a clear face.
A pitiful look.
"Your Highness, you haven't seen me, and my grandmother also feels sorry for me, so I took the liberty to step in for me!"
Li Chengzhou sneered: "She feels sorry for you?"
"What about your father, your mother, and your uncle and aunt?"
"Why is it her turn as an old man to step forward?"
"Are all the other members of your family dead?"
Chi Nanyu's face looked a little ugly: "Your Highness, my grandmother is the most noble person in our family. Isn't it the most noble and proper arrangement for her to make arrangements in advance?"
Li Chengzhou sneered: "Yes."
"She is indeed of high status, letting everyone in the capital know that your grandmother made such a trip."
After speaking, he looked at Chi Nanyu with a cold expression: "Chi Nanyu, I know that you are smart and capable. This arrangement is to force me to agree to come to propose marriage."
"But I have long said that it is useless for you to ask your grandmother to come."
"Unless the Marquis Yong'an comes to propose marriage in person."
Chi Nanyu was heartbroken all of a sudden: "Your Highness..."
Li Chengzhou stared at her coldly: "You should understand that in your Chi family, only Marquis Yong'an is the truly useful person. The other people with noble status are also useless!"
Chi Nanyu was a little desperate. This time she was really sad.
"Your Highness, I am already yours!"
Li Chengzhou looked at her: "You became my king's man half a year ago!"
Chi Nanyu's face suddenly turned pale, without a trace of blood. Yes, she had been His Highness's for a long time. She said, "So, Your Highness has never wanted to give me a title?"
Li Chengzhou picked up the water on the table and took a sip: "I said so!"
"After I marry your fifth sister and achieve great things, I will definitely have a place for you by my side."
Chi Nanyu looked at him: "What if I hadn't married her, Chi Yanqing?"
"Is there no room for a concubine beside His Highness?"
Li Chengzhou raised his head in vain: "This is the king you promised!"
