Li Hongyuan unhurriedly walked through the gate of the Jade Essence Palace. Along the way, he had attracted the attention of many people and made many little palace maids blush and their hearts beat faster. For this living King of Hell, as long as they didn't get close to him and just watched him from a distance, it was really pleasing to the eye. "This son pays his respects to Imperial Mother."
Noble Consort Su couldn't help but be dazzled by her son's unbelievably handsome looks. Unfortunately, it was probably because he was too good-looking that his other aspects were too horrible to look at. If he could be a little better in other aspects, or not have such a bad temper, or not be so lustful, or be able to do some proper things instead of not doing proper work, then even if he was a jinx to his wife, there wouldn't be no one to take care of her. It was a sad thing to talk about. "Quickly rise. How are Yuan 'er's injuries? "
"I've troubled Imperial Mother. This son is fine now." Imperial Consort Su was still in good spirits, but she had lost some weight. It was probably because she didn't have any news of him a few days ago and couldn't eat or sleep well. Knowing that he had returned to the capital safely, she was relieved and recovered some of her energy. It had only been ten days, so his injuries naturally couldn't have healed. However, for someone who could move freely in less than twenty hours, her worries were unnecessary.
"How could it be fine? Imperial Mother heard from the imperial physician. Look at you, child. If your injuries haven't healed, you should have just told your Imperial Father to rest at ease and recuperate in the manor. Yet, you didn't say a single word, causing your Imperial Father to be anxious all day long. The courtiers suffered, but they didn't dare to blame your Imperial Father. Instead, they marked you down. "
"Have they not put a small mark on this son's head? It's not that big of a difference. "Li Hongyuan said indifferently.
Imperial Consort Su was also very helpless about his sloppy and careless attitude. "Where did you go wrong? How did you become like this?"
"It has nothing to do with Imperial Mother. It's this son's own fault." Li Hongyuan was absolutely obedient in front of Imperial Consort Su compared to when he was at odds with Le Chengdi and occasionally talked back.
"Since you know your own fault, can't you change it?"
"It's been a long time and can't be changed. Or is it that Imperial Mother doesn't care about me anymore? Are you starting to dislike me? "Li Hongyuan looked at Noble Consort Su with a faint expression.
Imperial Consort Su inexplicably saw the 'grievance' in his eyes. Her heart softened, and her temper immediately dissipated. "Alright, alright. Don't look at me like that. Do whatever you want. Your Imperial Father doesn't care about you and you're already in your twenties. I can't be bothered to care about you." She still had to blame her son for being too handsome. Even a slight softness in his gaze was unbearable. It was no wonder that those women would die after being pampered by him for a few days. Even she, as his mother, could succumb to him. "You came directly to this consort again? Why don't you go to your Imperial Father first? He'll be jealous again. "Imperial Consort Su said angrily.
Li Hongyuan curled his lips into a smile. "Is Imperial Father jealous of your son or Imperial Mother?"
Noble Consort Su was startled by his sudden smile and became angry. She grabbed the teacup beside her and threw it at him. "Your Imperial Father was right. You're a vile creature. You even dare to play with your Imperial Mother? It's been too long since this consort taught you a lesson. Are you itching for a beating? Do you believe that this consort won't beat you up again today? "
Li Hongyuan pretended to dodge. He knew that the teacup was still far away from him. How could Noble Consort Su really want to hurt him? "Imperial Mother, don't be angry. This son knows his mistake."
Noble Consort Su sneered. "You know your mistake, you know your mistake. When have you not known your mistake and when have you changed? It's said that there's nothing better than knowing your mistake and being able to change. What if you don't change after knowing your mistake? "
"I'll definitely change this time. There won't be a next time. Imperial Mother, don't be angry and harm your health." Li Hongyuan hurriedly said.
Noble Consort Su was startled. Her first reaction was: Why was he so obedient this time? Then she inexplicably felt sad. No matter how much of a scoundrel Yuan 'er was, as long as his mistake was related to her, he would always change immediately. As he said, he wouldn't make the same mistake a second time. She knew that he loved her dearly, but as a mother, how could she really care about her son's small mistakes? However, this child was so serious every time. If she really pointed it out, she was afraid that he wouldn't know what to do. "Remember to pay respects to your Imperial Father first in the future." She didn't mention this matter.
"If I go there first, I probably won't be able to come over today." Li Hongyuan was very considerate and didn't mention it again. "In the future? Let's talk about it in the future. "
"What are you planning to do now?" Noble Consort Su's entire body seemed to deflate. She was very weak.
"Imperial Mother, don't worry. This son doesn't plan to do anything."
Noble Consort Su's expression said 'I'd be a fool if I believed you.'
"This time, Imperial Father didn't inform this son and made the decision to bestow a marriage first. If it was a beauty, it would be fine, but it just had to be an old woman with a disfigured face. Wouldn't this son be dissatisfied?" It was clear that he was dissatisfied with the marriage and wanted to argue with Emperor Le Cheng. However, when his mouth was poisonous, it made people want to seal his mouth.
"What nonsense are you saying? Miss Sun is just 16 years old. How can she be an old woman in your mouth? "
Li Hongyuan sneered, "16 years old. It's fine that she didn't get married before the marriage, but she didn't even have an engagement. If she isn't an old woman who can't get married, then what is she?"
"She got married before the marriage and had an engagement. How can she be bestow a marriage to you?"
"If she settled the marriage as soon as possible, Imperial Father wouldn't have to use this son as a scapegoat." Li Hongyuan didn't give in on this issue at all.
"This is getting more and more ridiculous. What do you mean by using you as a scapegoat? How can you talk about your Imperial Father like this?"
"Isn't it? This son hasn't been in the capital during this time, so I don't know anything. Duke Dingguo has never been afraid of making a big deal out of it. He can't wait to make the whole Qi Yuan dynasty know about his daughter's disfigurement. Imperial Father found him annoying, so he used this son to shut his mouth. What did this son say? If he is really so kind and benevolent, why didn't he directly bring her into the harem? She can be a companion to the Empress. Aunt and niece can serve the same husband and spread a good story. "
"Yuan 'er …"
"Evil creature — —"
Before Imperial Consort Su could speak, Le Chengdi's angry roar came from outside. His voice was so loud that it could shake the roof tiles off.
Following that, something flew straight toward Li Hongyuan. As if he had eyes on the back of his head, Li Hongyuan took a step away. With a bang, the thing fell to the ground and shattered. A piece of first-class ancient jade the size of half a palm was gone just like that. Imperial Consort Su couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Evil creature, what did you just say? Say it again if you have the guts."
Li Hongyuan immediately used his fingers to dig his ears that were hurting from the shock. He opened his mouth and wanted to repeat what he just said, but he was pulled back by Imperial Concubine Su, who quickly walked down from the main seat. She stood in front of him and stood between Li Hongyuan and Le Chengdi. Li Hongyuan raised his eyebrows and retracted his arm without a trace, but at the same time, he chose to shut up.
"This concubine pays respect to Your Majesty. Why did Your Majesty come to this concubine's place at this time? "Imperial Consort Su said with a smile.
"If I didn't come now, wouldn't I have missed out on this evil creature's nonsense?"
"Yuan 'er didn't mean it. Your Majesty, don't be angry." Imperial Consort Su comforted.
"Beloved consort, move aside. If we don't teach him a lesson today, we won't be able to get rid of the hatred in our heart."
"Your Majesty, Yuan 'er's injury hasn't healed yet. What if the wound opens again? It's said that the injury is on the son's body, but the pain is in the mother's heart. This concubine doesn't believe that Your Majesty doesn't feel distressed. This concubine has been looking forward to his return day and night. If something bad happens again, wouldn't this concubine's heart ache to death? "Imperial Consort Su could still hold it in before, but now she couldn't stop crying.
Yuan 'er narrowly escaped death this time, but he was unknowingly bestowed a consort that he didn't like. He was angry in his heart, so he spoke without thinking. Your Majesty, please don't be angry with Yuan' er, okay? "
"Okay, okay, okay, I won't be angry. Beloved consort, don't cry." When Le Chengdi saw that she was crying so sadly, he suddenly lost his temper and hurriedly coaxed her. He turned to look at Li Hongyuan, who seemed to be a little stiff. "Evil creature, don't you see your mother crying so sadly? Who is this all because of? Why don't you coax her?"
Li Hongyuan had never coaxed a crying woman before, so he really didn't know how to do it. At least a small part of his stiffness and helplessness was real, and not purely an act. "Mother, don't cry …" That was all he could say.
Fortunately, Le Chengdi didn't count on him. He was very good at coaxing women and soon made Imperial Consort Su stop crying.
"Your Majesty, this concubine was disrespectful. This concubine didn't want to cry, but when I thought of Yuan 'er's near-death situation, I couldn't help it."
"Alright, alright. Isn't he standing here perfectly fine?"
"Then Your Majesty, don't punish Yuan 'er?"
"Okay, okay, I'll do as beloved consort says. I'll let him go this time."
Imperial Consort Su smiled through her tears, but when she thought that her son was still here, she couldn't help but blush. It was really embarrassing.
Li Hongyuan didn't feel anything. He was very serious about learning how his father coaxed people. Maybe it would come in handy in the future. In his previous life, he didn't see Wan Wan cry, but who knew when she would cry in the future. If he didn't know how to coax people at all, Wan Wan would be angry. He seemed to have heard that when a woman was sad and crying, she hoped that her man would coax her to show that he really loved her and cared about her.
Then, one day in the future, Jingwan tasted the feeling of being coaxed by her husband. It really made people speechless to the extreme. It turned out that this overbearing, unreasonable, and possessive psychopath actually had an extremely low EQ. Eight out of ten times, it was Jingwan who had to coax him. There were also two times when he sulked by himself, and Jingwan didn't understand. What was going on? Could it be that he had a relapse again?
Imperial Consort Su stopped crying. It was time to deal with Li Hongyuan. Le Chengdi tried hard to suppress his anger. "What do you want, you evil creature?"
"Annul the engagement."
"Annul the engagement? You sure have a glib tongue. It's easy for you to say, but don't you know that a monarch's words are not joking? We personally issued the decree, but you take it back in the blink of an eye. Do you want us to have any face left? "Le Chengdi gritted his teeth in anger.
"It's not the first time you've lost face in front of your son. What's the harm in doing it again?" Li Hongyuan had an expression that said he should have been used to it.
"You …" Le Chengdi raised his hand, wanting to slap him.
"Yuan 'er —" Imperial Consort Su's voice was a bit higher and a bit shrill, but Li Hongyuan could see the trace of pleading in her eyes.
Li Hongyuan paused and moved his eyes away. "You gave Erchen such a Wangfei, shouldn't you compensate Erchen with something?" He really did compromise.
Imperial Consort Su breathed a sigh of relief.
It had to be said that the anger in Le Chengdi's chest also dissipated a lot. He was also afraid that this bastard would make a scene regardless of the consequences. Then what should he do in the end? Should he really punish him ruthlessly, or should he compromise and take back the decree again? This evil creature was right about one thing. Because of him, as his father, he had lost face in front of the ministers more than once. Fortunately, this evil creature would occasionally listen to his mother. But thinking of this, Le Chengdi's heart was unbalanced again. He was the one who controlled the world, the one who held the power of life and death. He was also his father. Did this evil creature not have any fear? Did he not have any respect for his father?
Le Chengdi's suppressed anger began to rise again.
"What, Imperial Father doesn't want to give your son any benefits?" Li Hongyuan's face turned cold. If Le Chengdi dared to nod, then this matter would be over. He could forget about obediently marrying an ugly and old woman.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Yuan 'er is like this because he is your son. Look, who else does he care about?" Imperial Concubine Su knew very well why Le Chengdi was so angry at this moment. She was probably anxious to persuade him, but why did her words seem to be adding fuel to the fire and setting him on fire? Sure enough …
Le Chengdi stared at Imperial Consort Su and said coldly, "He doesn't care about others, but is disobedient and unfilial to me. I'd rather not have such a son."
Imperial Consort Su's face immediately changed, "Your Majesty, you can't say that. If my sister's spirit in heaven heard it, she would be sad."
Le Chengdi's face changed, and his anger dissipated in an instant.
Imperial Consort Su helped him calm down and said gently with a smile, "If Yuan 'er really doesn't care about you, I'm afraid you'll be even angrier. Who was the one who was angry when Yuan 'er didn't enter the palace? "
"Of course it's you, my beloved consort. Who else could it be?" Le Chengdi glared at Li Hongyuan again and snorted, "It's my bad luck to have raised such a vile creature who purposely angers me. Who told me to owe such a debt?"
Li Hongyuan remained silent and pretended not to hear or understand.
Imperial Consort Su smiled good-naturedly and changed the topic. "Since Yuan 'er wants compensation, then what do you want? As long as it's not excessive, your Imperial Father will agree to it. Isn't that right, Your Majesty?" Le Chengdi continued to snort. Imperial Consort Su was helpless and helpless against this pair of father and son who were like natural enemies. However, she was indeed used to it. If one day they got along peacefully and the father was kind and the son was filial, she was afraid that something big would happen.
"Since it's Imperial Father who wants to compensate this son, it's naturally up to Imperial Father to decide. Anyway, this son has a Princess Consort now, so I don't lack anything."
"Can't you talk nicely to me? Do you have to be so sarcastic?"
"Where did this son say something wrong?"
Yes, there was nothing wrong. This vile creature had taken so many good things from him. If he, the Emperor, was a little extravagant, the Imperial Censor would immediately send a memorial to "reprimand" him. Therefore, this vile creature was more extravagant and enjoyed life than him. If you couldn't find the most precious thing in the world in the Emperor's private storehouse, perhaps you could find it in Jin Qinwang's private storehouse. What he lacked was a wife and son. Now that he had a wife, he had no choice but to go back and find a wife to slowly give birth to his son — —
Bastard, after talking for so long, he was still brooding over the marriage. Le Chengdi also regretted it. Why did he pull this vile creature out in order to shut Duke Ding's mouth and give him a lesson? What was he thinking at that time? Could it be that his days were too comfortable and he had to make himself suffer to be happy?
If he could, Le Chengdi wished he could go back to the time before the imperial edict was issued and burn it. Then he fiercely punched himself to wake up so that he wouldn't make a mistake!
"Get out of here! You're not allowed to enter the palace before the marriage. "Compensation and whatnot, wait!
"Erchen asks to be excused." Li Hongyuan didn't have the slightest bit of hesitation and quickly left.
He left too quickly, making Le Chengdi unhappy again. He blew his beard and glared at him.
Imperial Concubine Su looked at Le Chengdi with hidden bitterness, "Chenqie still wanted to keep Yuan 'er for a meal. Yuan' er hasn't accompanied chenqie to eat for several months."
Le Chengdi glared at Imperial Concubine Su. Imperial Concubine Su continued to look at him with hidden bitterness. She had a posture that wouldn't move even if the seas dried up and the rocks rotted.
Imperial Concubine Su tilted her head and chuckled, "Aunt Qi, why haven't you stopped Jin Qinwang?" Seeing Le Chengdi leisurely walk to the main seat, she didn't say much. She was afraid that if she said one more word, he would fly into a rage out of humiliation. She clearly wanted to keep her son for a meal, but she had to say one thing and mean another. However, this awkwardness was indeed caused by Yuan 'er's anger. Otherwise, how could she let him, an Emperor, say good words to his son and nicely keep his son for a meal? Then he wouldn't be an Emperor anymore.
Li Hongyuan, who was stopped by Aunt Qi, wasn't surprised. He indeed hadn't eaten in the palace for a long time, so he agreed.
Li Hongyuan had to admit that Imperial Concubine Su was a good Imperial Concubine. Even if he started his life from the age of ten, he couldn't deny this point. Not to mention in the inner palace, even in the entire Qi Yuan dynasty, there weren't many who treated their children as well as she did. She didn't "beat him to death" or "flatter him to death" when she treated her adopted son. He was no different from her biological son, or even better. And this difference was also genuine heartfelt. Li Hongyuan treated her as his biological mother in his previous life. He also did his best to help Li Hongming ascend the throne. In this life, there was also some sincerity in his respect for her, but most of it was gone. No matter how good she was, it couldn't erase one or two bad things. He once gave her a chance. If she gave up, he didn't mind letting bygones be bygones and taking care of her for the rest of her life. He could even spare Li Hongming's life. But she still did the same thing as in her previous life. … …
He returned. "Imperial Father, have you finished dealing with the political affairs at this time? The ministers have worked hard. "What he meant was that they didn't do their own things and threw them to others.
"I spent so much money to support them. Naturally, they have to share my burdens. Otherwise, why would I support them?" He glared daggers at Li Hongyuan. In the entire Qi Yuan, this evil creature was the biggest parasite who only took benefits but didn't do anything.
Li Hongyuan naturally understood Le Chengdi's meaning, but he had no intention of sharing his father's burdens.
Le Chengdi also didn't count on him. "Come here and play two games with me."
Imperial Consort Su hurriedly asked someone to fetch the chess pieces and prepare tea and snacks.
Li Hongyuan sat opposite Le Chengdi and habitually took the black piece. Then, he habitually gave two pieces to Le Chengdi.
"Still so arrogant and conceited." Le Chengdi snorted, but didn't insist on not letting Li Hongyuan take the black piece.
Li Hongyuan's slender fingers twirled the chess pieces between his fingers. The great color contrast made his hand look even more beautiful. There was nothing to nitpick about his skin.
Le Chengdi put down his chess pieces very seriously. The further back he was, the longer he took to think. In comparison, Li Hongyuan was much more undisciplined. Basically, after Le Chengdi put down his chess piece, he put it down as if he didn't even think.
Imperial Consort Su watched quietly from the side. She also knew how to play chess, but she only knew how to play it. Prince Rui, Li Hongming, and his sister, Princess Min Xiang, came hand in hand. They knew that Li Hongyuan was in the Jade Essence Palace. They also knew that Le Chengdi was also in the Jade Essence Palace. However, when they came in, they didn't expect to see the two of them playing chess instead of looking at each other coldly.
The brother and sister looked at each other and prepared to go forward and greet each other. However, Imperial Consort Su turned around and motioned for them to be quiet.
Princess Min Xiang ran happily to Imperial Consort Su. She was already a fifteen-year-old girl, but she still hugged Imperial Consort Su like a child.
Li Hongming followed and his gaze naturally fell on the chessboard. When he saw the situation on the board, his pupils couldn't help but shrink. His gaze then fell on Li Hongyuan and became more and more complicated. He had never played chess with Li Hongyuan and had never even seen him play chess. Now, he vaguely remembered that when Li Hongyuan was a few years old, people seemed to have praised his chess skills for being extraordinary. However, he was only a few years old. Even if he was praised to the heavens, people wouldn't really pay attention to him. Later, there were gradually no related rumors and people just thought that he had faded into the crowd. But it turned out that he wasn't!
When it came to chess, Le Chengdi wasn't a top master, but he was above average. When Li Hongming played chess with him, he would lose seven out of ten times. Of course, because the other party was his father and emperor, Li Hongming didn't dare to go too far. According to his estimation, if he didn't deliberately let Le Chengdi win, he should have a 50% chance of winning against him.
But now, it seemed that Li Hongyuan had clearly won against his father by a large margin!
Le Chengdi placed another chess piece and Li Hongyuan followed suit. "Wait a minute …" Le Chengdi picked up the chess piece and did something like retracting his move.
Li Hongyuan looked up at him and didn't say anything. He just took his hand back.
The spectators were a little confused. They kept glancing at Le Chengdi. Was he really the emperor of Qi Yuan Dynasty?
Le Chengdi didn't pay any attention to them. He was focused on the chessboard. After thinking and hesitating, he finally placed his chess piece.
"You don't want to change it?" Li Hongyuan asked. Seeing how filial he was, he didn't mind giving his father another chance.
Le Chengdi hesitated again. "I don't want to change it …" He said uncertainly.
Li Hongyuan snorted softly and placed his chess piece. A piece of Le Chengdi's chess piece was eaten. "It's not as good as just now." He saw Le Chengdi looking up and glaring at him. "What? You still want to regret?"
Le Chengdi gave up.
Despite Le Chengdi's desperate struggle, he was still defeated by Li Hongyuan in the end.
Le Chengdi's eyes almost turned red. "You bastard, don't you know how to let me win?"
"Let you win? I'm not lying to you. I have always respected my father. Of course, I have to be realistic. "
"Why don't I see you respecting me usually? Let's play again. "
