Li Xiang was angry because of this. You knew this matter would bring trouble to the entire Eastern Palace, but you still took this person back. Is the Eastern Palace still short of women? If Li Chengqian wanted ten or eight of them, why did he have to look for these women from aristocratic families?
The situation in the Eastern Palace is the best now. Li Chengqian also has more than ten women. These people have no foundation. Even if they give birth to sons, they will not pose any threat to Li Xiang. But if Aunt Fan gives birth to a son, then some things may be different. There are still many people in the court who can't bear to see Li Xiang happy. If Li Chengqian really becomes the emperor one day, those people will probably start to call the wind and rain.
"But he is our father after all. This one time is enough. Tomorrow morning, I will go with you to pay my respects. You must tell father what to do. If we continue this cold war, I'm afraid something bad will happen."
Cheng Luan is a very good and virtuous wife. Li Xiang also did something wrong in this matter. Li Chengqian has already extended an olive branch, but Li Xiang still wants to hold on to his temper. If his relatives give him some advice, or if Li Chengqian has other ideas, then the entire Eastern Palace will not have a peaceful life.
"When I go south this time, don't come with me. Mother is too soft-hearted. I'll tell Father tomorrow. You'll be in charge of the East Palace's affairs from now on."
After marrying a daughter-in-law, letting her take care of the household affairs is not a big deal in a noble family. Li Xiang's mother always obeys Li Chengqian. Now Li Chengqian is already the prince with real power. If there is no restriction, such things may happen more in the future. With Cheng Luan in power, it is also a check and balance for Li Chengqian.
"Wouldn't this be a bad idea? If a junior like me were to decide on the affairs of the Eastern Palace, it would be difficult for me to get along with my father and mother in the future. If I don't handle things well, then wouldn't I be..."
Cheng Luan was a little surprised after hearing this. In fact, such a thing was nothing in other big families. When the eldest son's daughter-in-law came into the family, the wife of the previous generation would basically enjoy a peaceful life. Who would care about so many things below? But this is the East Palace, which is different from ordinary big families.
Take the imperial palace for example, it is the Empress who directs everything. I have never heard that the Crown Princess can take charge of everything, not to mention that Cheng Luan is not the Crown Princess yet.
Li Xiang just said it out of anger, and with the influence of alcohol, he said it. Now thinking about it, it was indeed inappropriate. After all, Cheng Luan was his daughter-in-law. If Li Xiang insisted on doing this, then it was fine, but it would make Cheng Luan very difficult.
"Then you should spend more time with mother in the future. If anything happens, you can write to me directly. Anyway, we can't let father do whatever he wants in the future. This time, it didn't lead to any bitter consequences. If Concubine Fan gets pregnant, then it will be a lot of fun, and it is very likely to be a bloody fun."
Li Xiang is not a saint. He has killed countless people when he was outside. If someone wants to poach people at home, Li Xiang will definitely not be a good man. Even an unborn baby can cause a huge change.
Haven't there been many major changes in the imperial family since ancient times? Never underestimate a baby. It's very likely that this baby will be the one who will seize your throne in the future. Therefore, Li Xiang has always told himself that anyone who poses a threat must be eliminated in advance. This Concubine Fan is definitely not someone who can be easily dealt with. Li Xiang also sent people to investigate. All the studies were based on Li Chengqian's preferences, which shows that they have been preparing for a long time.
Li Xiang had already blown out the lights and rested. The young eunuch told Li Chengqian about this, and Li Chengqian felt a little uncomfortable. Even if his son was drunk, he would definitely wake up after returning home, and the people below would definitely tell him about his behavior. If he was a filial son, he should have sent someone to tell him at this time, but in the end, not even a word was said.
Ever since Li Xiang came back, Li Chengqian has not rested in Aunt Fan's room. He has always been at the Crown Princess's side. Today, he was turned away by Li Xiang. Coupled with Li Shimin's attitude, Li Chengqian was very depressed.
"Go to Aunt Fan."
When Li Chengqian said this, many people around him were stunned. Wasn't the Crown Prince trying to improve his relationship with the eldest young master in the next two days? If he still stayed at Concubine Fan's place tonight, wouldn't that intensify the conflict?
"What's the matter? Can't I command you anymore? Who is the master of this East Palace? Don't you want to live anymore?"
Seeing that the people around him did not take any action, Li Chengqian was also very angry. It was bad enough that he, the prince, was not respected outside, but he did not expect that the servants at home also had the same idea. Li Chengqian wanted to attack a few of them, but Li Chengqian still had some brains. If he chopped someone to pieces because of this matter, then Li Xiang might take more violent actions after waking up tomorrow morning.
Li Chengqian was very familiar with his son. Although the struggle in the palace was fierce before, none of these people, including the brothers Li Tai and Li Zhi, were Li Xiang's opponents. If Li Chengqian really wanted to go against his son, he would probably not be his opponent, and he might even be embarrassed in the end.
Considering this, Li Chengqian swallowed his anger, but eventually walked to Aunt Fan's yard.
Aunt Fan has had a hard time these days. When Li Xiang was not back, Li Chengqian naturally doted on Aunt Fan. The servants below were also used to doing things according to one's observation. Li Chengqian rested in Aunt Fan's yard every day, so all the supplies were the most complete and best.
But Li Chengqian hasn't been here these past few days, so the people below have to wonder, has our Concubine Fan fallen out of favor? If that's the case, then some of his things can be deducted, and there's no need to give him the full amount. After all, the previous amount was a bit excessive, and it was supplied according to the standard of the Crown Princess.
Once there was a first time, there would be a second time. When they first withheld the Crown Prince's concubine, Concubine Fan's things, they didn't find anything wrong, so these people started to intensify their actions...
