Mrs. Fan also took the gift from Miss Mengqin with trepidation. After hearing Li Xiang's order, the two girls immediately went back and took it. Li Xiang's approach was different from that of others. Just these two head ornaments and jewelry were worth hundreds of strings of cash.
The Fan family in Nanyang is also a big family and is very famous in the surrounding areas. Mrs. Fan has seen money in the family before, but this is the first time she has seen someone so generous. Of course, she has also heard about Li Xiang's wealth at home. The world-famous treasure-hunting is just one of Li Xiang's businesses. His other businesses are even more impressive than this.
"I've been on a long journey today and am a little tired. After drinking this glass of wine, I'm actually a little sleepy. I hope you can forgive me, Dad and Mom."
Li Xiang had only drunk a glass of wine, so his body shouldn't be like this. But now that he said these words, no one could question that Li Xiang was wrong. After all, he had just returned from the Western Regions. Even in front of Li Shimin, when Li Xiang said this, Li Shimin had to let Li Xiang go back and rest quickly.
Li Xiang's mother looked concerned. Was Li Xiang really feeling unwell? Cheng Luan had been on good terms with her mother-in-law since her return. With a gentle wave of her hand, Li Xiang's mother finally felt relieved. However, another worry soon arose: she hoped that there wouldn't be any quarrels between father and son.
"It's my fault, too. I thought you were made of iron. Even if you were, you wouldn't feel comfortable coming back from such a long distance. Go back to your room and rest. You'll be staying in Chang'an for a while anyway, so there will be plenty of opportunities for us father and son to drink together."
Although Li Chengqian had a smile on his face, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Li Xiang was clearly giving him a cold shoulder. He had done what he should do, but he still had to give him a warning in the end. Although Li Chengqian felt uncomfortable at the moment, he could not go against Li Xiang.
After confessing his crime, Li Xiang, supported by Cheng Luan, walked towards his yard.
After Li Xiang left, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief. Li Xiang's brothers and sisters all looked at him with admiration. When would they be able to have such ability? To be able to make their father do things like this?
Aunt Fan already felt bitter in her heart. She thought that her whole family had boarded this express train, but now it seems that is far from the case. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very dissatisfied with her. Several brothers from her mother's side even sent people to deliver letters, hoping that they could rely on this relationship to follow Li Xiang to Nanzhao. If they could really go, they would be able to get some merit back.
At the time, Aunt Fan didn't dare agree, but she also felt that this matter should be fine. After all, they were all family. Arranging a few of her brothers from her mother's family to join the army was just a matter of Li Xiang's words. Look at Cheng Yaojin's two sons. Aren't they now unrivaled in the Western Regions because they are Li Xiang's brothers-in-law?
We don't ask for the same treatment as those people. We just need to be a lieutenant in the army. When we return from Nanzhao, we can be rewarded according to our merits. Unfortunately, today's meeting made Aunt Fan swallow the rest of her words. It's better not to mention this matter, so as not to make Li Xiang unhappy, and then he will have no place in the Eastern Palace.
"You should stay here, Xiazi."
When Li Xiang saw that Qian Ping wanted to follow him back, he immediately asked Qian Ping to stay here and mentioned a name. This person was a young eunuch who was originally with Li Xiang. However, due to his lack of qualifications, he did not do much.
Hearing what Li Xiang said, Qian Ping immediately knelt down in front of Li Xiang, his head almost bleeding, but Li Xiang still didn't even stop. Sometimes you only have one chance to make a choice, and if you make the wrong choice, there will be no chance to make up for it in the future.
Can you put your head back after killing someone? This news is extremely important. Li Xiang entrusted all the internal information of the Eastern Palace to Qian Ping. People outside will not pay attention to the news here. Since you did not send this news to the Western Regions, it means that you have made your choice.
"Your Highness."
Xiao Xia Zi was also very nervous and had been studying hard during this period, but there was still a big gap compared to Qian Ping.
"Take my badge and go to Wang De. From this moment on, you are the deputy chief eunuch of the Eastern Palace and will represent me."
After Li Xiang finished speaking, Miss Mengling took out Li Xiang's badge from her arms and smashed a huge pie on Xiao Xiazi's head. Xiao Xiazi was really a little dizzy, but soon knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Xiang. Of course, he was different from Qian Ping. Qian Ping was scared, but Xiao Xiazi was happy.
Li Xiang did not stop and returned to his yard with his wives and concubines. Xiao Xia Zi kowtowed and swore that she would never make the same mistake as Qian Ping. Qian Ping just didn't want to get involved in these things, so this was the result in the end.
"Congratulations, Eunuch Xia..."
"Congratulations to President Xia..."
People from top to bottom in the Eastern Palace were all speaking in flattering words. These guys saw that Xiao Xiazi had been promoted. Although he was still a deputy chief steward, they all knew that as long as he could represent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, then you would be the chief eunuch of the Eastern Palace.
Including some people around Qian Ping, they all ran over to congratulate him. Although Qian Ping was still the chief eunuch of the Eastern Palace, from this moment on, this guy should keep a low profile. Apart from some miscellaneous matters within the Eastern Palace, other matters should have nothing to do with him.
In addition to managing matters around Li Shimin, Wang De was also in charge of all the eunuchs in the palace, and the Eastern Palace was naturally no exception. When Xiao Xia Zi came over with the badge, Wang De understood what was going on.
There is naturally a ranking among the eunuchs, and Wang De is definitely ranked first. No matter how prominent Li Xiang is, he can never overshadow Li Shimin, so Wang De is still ranked first, but these eunuchs in the harem have to step down one place. Originally, the eunuchs around the Queen could be ranked second, but now Qian Ping can be ranked second.
Of course, that was all in the past. When Xiao Xiazi took out Li Xiang's badge, Wang De nodded with a smile. With this badge, all that was left was to go through the formalities. At this moment, you are the deputy chief eunuch of the Eastern Palace.
