Chapter 152 The prince talks
"Hahaha..." Li Zheng smiled dryly and said, "How is that possible? I'm just being polite. Don't take it seriously by Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Chengqian's smile was stiff on his face...
"Have Your Highness the Crown Prince eaten?"
Li Chengqian, who wanted to leave with a sleeve, took back his mind, "It's not yet."
"I didn't eat it either. I think the prince beats some wild pheasants, so why are we going to join us?"
"join as a partner?"
"It means cooking and eating together. You produce ingredients and I produce skills."
Li Chengqian's expression calmed down slightly, "Okay."
It has been a long time since I ate beggar chicken, and Li Zheng picked a few wild pheasants from Li Chengqian's prey.
Li Chengqian has been observing Li Zheng from the side.
He is very skilled in raising fires and setting stoves.
Paste the wild pheasant wrapped in dried lotus leaves on the mud and put it in the fire to simmer.
The pot is on the fire and the soup is boiled in the pot.
There were grilled lamb skewers on the iron rack next to it.
"Accompanies green mountains and forests, a small house, without the noise, Li Zheng, you are very good at living."
Li Zheng took care of himself and said, "I just don't feel wronged."
Li Chengqian asked again: "I am puzzled when there is something."
"Please speak with your throne, Your Highness."
Seeing Li Zheng carefully roasting the meat, Li Chengqian asked, "Li Zheng, have you really lost confidence in your career?"
Li Zheng fanned the charcoal fire with a palm-shaped fan and said, "I have never been interested in the career of the government. The King of Wei has asked me many times."
"But!" Li Chengqian asked again: "You want to marry Lizhi, you don't have enough family background, and there are many opinions in the palace."
"Your Highness the Prince, the mutton skewers are ready. How do you taste it?"
"ah?"
Speaking of the words, he was interrupted by Li Zheng's mutton skewers, Li Chengqian hesitated to take the mutton skewers.
"Try it." Li Zheng said again.
After taking a bite of the mutton, Li Chengqian savored it carefully, "It tastes very good."
Li Zheng pulled out the beggar chicken simmered in the fire, pulled away the lotus leaves and put them in front of Li Chengqian and said, "Try it?"
After eating the mutton skewers, his appetite opened. Li Chengqian cut a small piece of chicken with a knife and put it in his mouth, "Well! It's so delicious."
After a few sips of wine, the two of them also opened up their conversations.
Li Chengqian was a little drunk and sighed, "Li Zheng, do you know? The position of the prince is really like a needle and needle."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince has thought too much."
Li Chengqian said drunkenly: "I didn't think much about it. My father is very nice to Qingque, but what about Is he alone?"
Li Zheng drank mutton soup and said, "Your Highness, you are persecuted paranoia."
“Personed paranoia?”
"Yes, this is a disease. Prince, you are sick."
Li Chengqian took another sip of wine, "Why do I feel like you are scolding me after hearing this?"
“…”
He pointed at Li Zheng drunk, and Li Chengqian said, "But you are a miracle doctor. Tell me what kind of disease this disease is."
"Personed paranoia is a mental illness. In your words, it is a heart disease. People are not optimistic and think that someone will persecute you all day long."
Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't there?"
"Are you not tired to live like this? Why care about other people's opinions so much?"
"Gou has to care. Gu is the prince. You, Li, don't know the disputes in the court. In the eyes of his father, he will make his father proud of everything he does, but Gu, he will not satisfy his father. Gu does nothing he does, and Gu is the worst."
Li Chengqian was drunk, and he kept talking about all the past years.
It was like venting all the resentment that had been accumulated for many years.
After talking for a while, Li Chengqian seemed to wake up from his wine. "I'm so sarcastic, these things have nothing to do with you."
Li Zheng shook his palm-leaf fan and slapped himself in the wind and said, "Have you been much more relaxed after His Royal Highness said it?"
Li Chengqian nodded, and he felt much more comfortable. He didn't even expect that he would say so much to Li Zheng. He had never said these words to others on weekdays.
But Li Zheng expressed all his thoughts.
Li Zheng smiled and said to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness the Crown Prince should come out and walk around more. It is easy to get bored in Chang'an. Make more friends and say more words."
Looking at the surrounding environment, Li Chengqian understood.
Li Zheng is very quiet here. Perhaps this silence and comfort have made him involuntarily let go of all his vigilance.
Li Chengqian stood up and bowed and said, "I have complained so much to the county marquis, I hope I won't be surprised."
"Actually, for a father, no matter how good His Highness the Crown Prince is, His Majesty will not praise His Highness. Just like my father, I planted food in the wasteland and helped the people in the village to earn money. He never praised me, but instead doubted whether I was his biological child."
Li Chengqian: “…”
"Your Majesty has high hopes for the prince, because you are the father of His Highness."
Li Chengqian sat on the grass and said in a daze.
Judging from his expression, Li Zheng took a sip of wine leisurely. If he could not let Li Chengqian and Li Tai fight in the same room in the future, it would be considered as accumulating virtue for him.
Fang Xuanling sat in his mansion reading a book, and the servants at home came to report, "The head of the family, the King of Wei is coming down."
He raised his head, Fang Xuanling put down the book in his hand, "Please come in with the King of Wei."
After receiving the report from the doorman, Li Tai hurriedly walked into Fang Xuanling's study and said, "Fang Xiang."
Fang Xuanling asked calmly: "Your Highness, what's the matter with you?"
"Fang Xiang, I thought about it all night. Why did your father ask Li Zheng to raise a horse?"
Fang Xuanling looked at Li Tai with a smile and said, "Your Highness the King of Wei is a smart person, and he will not know His Majesty's intention."
Li Tai said anxiously: "Now all the ministers in the court are opposing such marriages. Li Zheng has made a lot of contributions. His father wants to marry Li Zheng to Li Zheng. It would be fine if he doesn't promote Li Zheng, why do he still ask Li Zheng to raise horses?"
"Your Highness the King of Wei should go and ask His Majesty, why did you come to ask me? I dare not ask about His Majesty's family affairs."
Li Tai looked at Fang Xuanling with a calm expression and wanted to say that this matter must be planned by your Fang Xiang.
But since Fang Xuanling said so, she couldn't ask more questions.
Wei Zheng found Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, it is probably inappropriate for Li to marry a princess with such a low position."
Li Shimin smiled and said, "I haven't issued an order yet, you all have such a discussion."
Wei Zheng said again: "Empress Changsun went to see Li Zheng. Your Majesty ordered the Ministry of Rites to choose the day. Isn't this marriage prepared? The court is talking about it. If it weren't for marrying Li Zheng, why did Your Majesty keep those memorials and not be released for a long time?"
Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "I have read the memorial. All the ministers in the court are talking about family background. Li Zheng is from a humble background. In your eyes, Li Zheng is just a minister who is lucky to enter with his talent."
Wei Zheng remained silent.
Li Shimin said again: "Who is my daughter marrying? It's my family business."
Wei Zheng said again: "There is no trivial matter in the family."
