Du Qi returns to his own courtyard and sits down in his study. There is a brazier in the study to dispel the cold. The room is as warm as spring. Therefore, Du Qi does not wear much. Even if he is wearing a thin garment, he is not cold.
Du Qi quietly waits.
After a short while, Li Yuanji pushes open the door and enters, striding into the room. The current Li Yuanji has his head held high, his hands behind his back, incomparably arrogant. He looks disdainfully at Du Qi, giving off a feeling of looking down on him.
When Li Yuanji faces Li Yuan, he has an appearance of admitting defeat. When facing Du Qi, his aura is tyrannical. With a smile at the corners of his mouth, he arrogantly says: "Du Qi, this Prince has come to apologize."
Du Qi says: "His Highness the Prince of Qi's apology is truly unique. Alright, I accept His Highness the Prince of Qi's apology. The matter has been settled, the Prince of Qi can leave. "
A casual sentence, but Li Yuanji immediately frowns.
Li Yuanji has come to apologize.
He has discovered that there is a problem with Du Qi's attitude.
After a casual sentence, he feels that it is unreal. He does not believe that this matter has been resolved. If by any chance Li Yuan asks, Du Qi will slightly stir up trouble, and he will be schemed against again.
This is what Li Yuanji is unwilling to do.
Li Yuanji says in a low voice: "Du Qi, do you really accept this Prince's apology?"
"Yes!"
Du Qi says: "His Highness the Prince of Qi, you can leave. Speaking of which, my Du family temple is small and cannot accommodate His Highness the Prince of Qi, this flood dragon. The place where you stir up the wind and rain should be the great river, not my small temple and small hut. "
The more Li Yuanji listens, the more he feels that something is amiss.
Du Qi's words have a hidden meaning.
It seems to be sarcastic.
Li Yuanji narrows his eyes, saying in a low voice: "Du Qi, this Prince came to apologize this time to fulfill Imperial Father's request. But there's something wrong with your attitude! This Prince sincerely apologizes, what is your attitude, half-hearted? "
Du Qi suddenly laughed.
Li Yuanji was really full of himself. To be honest, when Li Yuanji came to apologize, Du Qi didn't intend to bother with him at first. In any case, it was impossible for Li Yuanji to truly apologize.
It was just a formality.
But now, Du Qi was serious. He wanted to talk to Li Yuanji.
Du Qi indifferently said, "Your Highness King Qi's apology is truly a new experience. As soon as he entered the room, he came to apologize. Your apology is really surprising. Moreover, His Imperial Highness King Qi said that my attitude was perfunctory. Isn't this learning from His Imperial Highness King Qi? What I'm doing is actually giving him a taste of his own medicine. "
Li Yuanji was furious when he heard that.
What did Du Qi mean?
Li Yuanji said, "Du Qi, don't be so shameless."
Du Qi replied, "Your Imperial Highness Prince of Qi, you said these words in the restaurant. In the end, you encountered His Imperial Majesty and were reprimanded. Now, you're saying something similar again. To tell the truth, how can I be so shameless? You don't understand! "
"On the other hand, Your Imperial Highness Prince of Qi arrogantly came in to apologize."
"You want to resolve the matter with just 'I'm here to apologize'? Is there even the slightest bit of sincerity? If Your Imperial Highness Prince of Qi truly wishes to apologize, then he should respectfully bow to me. "
Du Qi said, "Your Imperial Highness Prince of Qi, what do you think?"
Li Yuanji said, "Of course not!"
After a pause, Li Yuanji said, "This prince has already apologized. What is the point of bowing?"
Du Qi said, "Fine, I can't be bothered to waste words. Since the King of Qi was unwilling, they could only return home. Go back to where you came from. My Du family cannot tolerate Your Imperial Highness Prince of Qi! "
Li Yuanji was furious. He reprimanded, "Du Qi, what kind of attitude is this?"
Du Qi said, "Then what kind of attitude does Your Imperial Highness Prince of Qi need? Could it be that you want me to kneel and bow to Your Imperial Highness Prince of Qi and respectfully accept Your Imperial Highness Prince of Qi's charitable apology? "
"Then, with a smile on my face, I will respectfully send Your Imperial Highness Prince of Qi off."
"I really can't learn from this!"
"Your Imperial Highness Prince of Qi, I, Du Qi, do not like to cause trouble. But if Your Imperial Highness Prince of Qi believes that I, Du Qi, am easy to bully, then I, Du Qi, have no other choice but to meet you head-on. "
Du Qi continued, "Your Imperial Highness Prince of Qi is not the Eastern Palace. The Eastern Palace is the heir apparent and cannot be easily dealt with. But Your Imperial Highness Prince of Qi is here. If His Imperial Majesty wants to deal with you, he can. If you want to make me, Du Qi, your enemy, you should think carefully. "
"You, you …"
Li Yuanji clenched his teeth. "Du Qi, you are quite bold to threaten me."
Du Qi said, "If I wasn't bold, I wouldn't have dared to make an enemy of the Eastern Palace. Relying on my own strength, I can contend against the Eastern Palace. In that case, contending against or even dealing with Prince of Qi truly isn't difficult. "
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "It's just a simple matter. After entering the palace and meeting with His Imperial Majesty, I will say that Prince of Qi has come to apologize. After saying that I came to apologize, I will leave. What do you think His Imperial Majesty will feel after hearing this? "
Li Yuanji's expression flickered.
At this moment, Li Yuanji also felt somewhat apprehensive. The reason was very simple. Although Li Yuanji was Prince of Qi, his status was different. But if one carefully considered it, Li Yuanji's weight in Li Yuan's heart truly could not compare to Du Qi's.
In the entire court, there was no one more highly regarded by Li Yuan than Du Qi. He was the only one.
Li Yuanji was speechless, so he asked again, "Du Qi, are you threatening this prince?"
"Threatening?"
Du Qi shook his head. "I don't dare threaten Prince of Qi. I don't even have an official post, only a rank five official. Your Highness Prince of Qi, would I dare threaten you? "
"However, I do have something to say. If your apology today is not sincere, then I will not accept your apology. Although I won't take the initiative to mention it, since His Imperial Majesty has asked, I can only speak the truth. "
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "Actually, yesterday afternoon, when I entered the palace for an audience with His Imperial Majesty, His Imperial Majesty had already asked whether or not Prince of Qi had come to apologize. At that time, I said that he had not yet come. At that time, His Imperial Majesty's expression was somewhat displeased! "
Li Yuanji's face twitched.
He had come to the Du residence to apologize in order to frighten Du Qi. In name, it was an apology, but in reality, it was a demonstration.
But now, it had failed.
Du Qi said, "Your Highness Prince of Qi, speaking with you is actually very difficult for me. It's like a cow's head doesn't match a horse's mouth, like playing the lute to a cow. It's really boring. How about Your Highness Prince of Qi return? When His Imperial Majesty asks, I will say that Your Highness has already come. This matter can be considered over. "
As he spoke, Du Qi's lips curled into a smile.
When this smile fell into Li Yuanji's eyes, Li Yuanji's expression was very grave. He did not believe that this brat Du Qi's words. His mouth was full of lies. At this moment, Li Yuanji was in a bit of a dilemma.
He was not willing to bow and apologize.
If he left, he was worried that Du Qi would speak ill of him in front of Li Yuan.
Therefore, Li Yuanji could neither advance nor retreat, feeling exceptionally uncomfortable. Li Yuanji stared fixedly at Du Qi. At this moment, he had already experienced the difficulties of the Eastern Palace's Li Jiancheng.
Facing Du Qi was truly not easy.
Seeing that Li Yuanji did not speak, Du Qi sneered in his heart. Although Li Yuanji was Prince of Qi, in the end, he was still a young child. After all, Li Yuanji was not even twenty years old.
At this age, his temperament was not steady, and he was not some old fox of the imperial court.
It was only because of Li Yuanji's good background.
Only because of this did he have his current power.
Du Qi said, "Your Highness King Qi, I have always disapproved of the Eastern Palace's methods and methods. The Eastern Palace has always targeted me, but why? They have repeatedly targeted me, but His Majesty loathed them.
"As long as His Majesty is alive, the Eastern Palace will only invite humiliation if they act against me.
"For the same reason, Your Highness King Qi is the same.
"As long as the Eastern Palace has not ascended the throne, Your Highness King Qi will not be able to do as he pleases, will not be able to act against me. Because with His Majesty here, His Majesty will protect me. "
Du Qi said, "Your Highness King Qi, you are the high and mighty King Qi, while I am just an ordinary person. If I were you, I would definitely not get involved. "
Li Yuanji felt somewhat regretful at these words.
In truth, he really did somewhat believe Du Qi's words. Why get involved with a shit-stirring stick like Du Qi? He was simply inviting humiliation and suffering.
Du Qi continued, "Your Highness King Qi, are you still going to apologize to me?"
He stared at Du Qi, his eyes turning sharp. The change in Du Qi at this moment made Li Yuanji very uncomfortable. In fact, he even had the thought of hurriedly running away.
