The second stop on our way back was naturally the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace.
He did not forget to bring a gift to his brother Li Chengqian. When he left Luojia Kingdom, he bought Fang Zhenzhu the beautiful and precious Cordyceps sinensis.
This woman almost became his wife, but eventually became his sister-in-law, which somewhat made him feel a little unfair.
In the palace, the best things were enjoyed by Li Chengqian, and people were no exception.
Li Chengqian saw the gift he brought and said with a smile: "Conquering the fourth brother of the general has made you famous. It's not easy."
Li Tai said humbly: "His Royal Highness said this, which makes my younger brother very ashamed. My brother is getting married, and he is not able to support it. I feel very ashamed."
"Don't be hypocritical. Didn't you just choose this time to leave the palace? Fourth child, what are you thinking? Do you think I don't know? Are you uncomfortable with her marrying me?"
Damn, this person is so small-minded.
Li Tai sneered in his heart and said: "Why did the prince say this? Marriage is a matter of fate. What's more, I am also engaged to Hu Die, so how can I have other thoughts."
"It's fine if you don't."
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he sat on the chair with a lukewarm look.
"Your Highness, where is your sister-in-law? Please come out so I can see her."
"No need to meet her, she's just an ordinary woman and there's nothing interesting to see."
The atmosphere was a little tense for a moment, and Li Tai didn't know what to do. He thought that Li Chengqian must be unhappy with him for being in the limelight this time, so he treated him like this.
"Hey, there's a distinguished guest in the palace, I'm late."
There was a sound of jingling jewelry, and a young woman walked in with gentle steps.
Is she Fang Zhenzhu?
Li Tai sighed in his heart and couldn't explain what he felt. He stepped forward and saluted: "Li Tai has met my sister-in-law."
Fang Zhenzhu returned the gift and said, "My sister-in-law is very excited when I heard that my fourth brother has returned. I have heard for a long time that my fourth brother is a talented person. We meet today and we are well-deserved."
Li Tai carefully looked at the beauty in front of him. She was indeed very beautiful, but her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had cried. Her face was haggard, not like a flower that had been moistened by rain and dew, but more like a withered dog's tail flower.
"It's just a false reputation. Li Tai has long heard that my sister-in-law has unparalleled talent and beauty. You and the prince brother can be said to be a match made in heaven, and they are very admirable."
Li Chengqian looked at the two of them and said unhappily: "You two, please stop flattering each other, Fang Zhenzhu, did I let you out? Are there any rules in this East Palace?"
Fang Zhenzhu was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and said, "I take my leave." She turned around and left.
What is he doing? Does he hate him?
There is no such thing as embarrassing your wife in front of outsiders.
Li Tai couldn't bear it and said: "Your Highness, are you doing this inappropriately? She is the daughter of Fang Zuopushe, not an ordinary girl."
"Hmph, if he didn't have a strong family background, would I be able to marry her? This is obviously a political marriage, and her face is as long as a persimmon. I'm annoyed to death."
This is simply nitpicking. How many people in the world can have looks like Fang Zhenzhu's?
There is no way, he has a problem with his sexual orientation. It is often said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. He is not interested in women, so naturally he will not care about a woman like her.
"Brother Prince, this is your housework. I can't talk too much about it. I just came from my mother. She was very worried about you. My brother is very puzzled. The blessing in life is nothing more than a night of flowers and candles in the wedding room. You are newly married and you are harmonious.
,How could the Queen Mother be like this?"
"Why is she worried about me? I didn't do anything inappropriate. By the way, it's not her who complained to the queen mother? This bitch, how do I deal with her?"
After saying that, Li Chengqian shouted to the inner room: "Fang Zhenzhu, come out here."
"Here you come, what are your orders from the prince?"
Fang Zhenzhu came out without a moment's delay and asked with a pale face.
Li Chengqian asked fiercely: "Tell me honestly, did you sue me when you greeted your mother just now? Didn't I just consummate the marriage with you? It's not up to you!"
Li Chengqian's eyes were spitting fire, like a roaring lion.
Fang Zhenzhu glanced at Li Tai, and tears of grievance rolled down her face.
She didn't expect that Li Chengqian would reveal the affairs between their husband and wife in front of outsiders. How would she face him in the future?
"Tell me, are you mute?"
Li Chengqian seemed to feel that he had lost face in front of Li Tai, and shouted at Fang Zhenzhu.
Fang Zhenzhu choked up and replied: "No, Prince, how could I say that?"
After saying that, he lowered his head and shed tears.
Looking at the newlyweds, Li Tai was filled with emotions.
If this woman becomes his wife, he doesn't know how to love her. She is married to him, and it doesn't matter that she has Fang Xuanling as her backer.
Li Tai couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Why bother? It's all my fault for saying the wrong thing, right? Brother Prince, you can't treat her like this."
Li Chengqian sneered and said: "She is my wife and I want you to teach me how I want to treat her? Fourth brother, are you feeling distressed? If you can, marry her home and I will divorce her immediately."
Li Tai saw that there was something wrong with this argument, so he quickly stood up and left: "Bedside fights between husband and wife belong to each other, so I won't get involved in your affairs."
After a bad encounter at the Prince's Mansion, Li Tai was very disappointed.
He originally thought that married people would treat each other with the same respect as Changsun Wuyou and Li Shimin, but he didn't expect that Li Chengqian would treat a woman like this, completely regardless of her status.
It is no wonder that such a person has a bad ending in history. His character determines his destiny.
Fortunately, he will participate in politics tomorrow. He is lucky to have such a prince brother. The worse he is, the more useless he is, the more favored he will be.
He just felt very distressed when he saw Fang Zhenzhu being abused by Li Chengqian.
If Fang Xuanling had refused this marriage, she would not be so miserable. I hope Li Chengqian would not let her return to Zhao one day intact.
In Prince Wei's palace, Lian'er dressed up carefully.
After not seeing each other for a few days, her feelings for Li Tai became deeper and deeper. She planned to dedicate herself to him, and she was unwilling to wait any longer.
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei has become famous this time, and my servants have followed suit."
Li Tai suddenly saw her ruthless charm, and his heart moved. Then he saw her longing look and understood what she was thinking.
In his previous life, he was an orphan, and he never tasted the joy of life until his death. He must not let down this golden age in this life.
So, he said with a smile: "Really? Is my scenery just outside? Do I need to be beautiful at home as well?"
Lian'er pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Then why are you still standing there? I have prepared hot water for you to take a bath. Come with me..."
The person who took the bath this time felt refreshed. It turned out that there was still such a wonderful time in life, but it was a pity that he wasted his time in his previous life.
Looking at this magnificent palace, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he was not reborn in an ordinary people's home, otherwise he would not be blessed with the blessings he has today.
