Chapter 18 You are harmed by the male girl! There is no way to get along with... (Please read)
"understood?"

Xiao Yu and Li Xiang stood side by side at the entrance of the palace, watching Li Tai leave in the sedan chair.

"Thank you Master Xiao for the reminder!"

Li Xiang saluted Xiao Yu sincerely. Just now, Xiao Yu pretended to cough just to remind him.

"What are you thinking about? That's your uncle!"

Xiao Yu reached out and patted Li Xiang on the back of his head, scolding him with a smile.

Facing Li Xiang's puzzled look, Xiao Yu added: "The King of Wei is your uncle, and the Crown Prince is your father."

"They...are both the sons of His Majesty and Queen Wende."

Leaving behind these words, Xiao Yu disappeared.

Li Xiang stood there and began to fall into deep thought.

First, it was his second uncle Li Tai.

If Li Tai was very cold to him, Li Xiang would have no psychological pressure in dealing with him.

But the biggest problem is that his second uncle treats you very well, but you are like an ungrateful person, always thinking about how to punish him...

It’s not that Li Xiang is too soft-hearted, but mainly because after Xiao Yu’s reminder just now, he suddenly remembered that there is another Li Shimin above him.

As a man who had minor conflicts with his brothers, Li Shimin absolutely did not want to see his descendants follow in his footsteps.

If Li Xiang dared to have such thoughts and was discovered by Li Shimin, he would give him a big red cross.

He also saw that, regardless of Li Tai's purpose in entering the palace, it was simply to show his presence in front of Li Shimin. As the saying goes, the one who is close to the water gets the moon first, and the closer you are, the easier it is to get close to him.

Combining these days, Li Xiang believes that Li Shimin's love for Li Chengqian is no less than that for Li Tai.

But the problem is that no matter how much he dotes on his father, if he doesn't see him for a long time, there will be a cooling-off period. Li Xiang thinks that his stepfather should learn from Li Tai and make his presence felt in front of Li Shimin.

So the question is, Li Chengqian and Li Shimin are both arrogant when it comes to each other's issues, and neither of them is willing to give in first.

Especially his father Li Chengqian, who began to become more distant from Li Shimin since Li Shimin killed his beloved little boy.

You are harmed by your male mother! You can't get along with your father normally!
"Still thinking about your second uncle?"

Li Shimin's voice suddenly rang in my ears.

Li Xiang turned around and saw Li Shimin standing behind him without him noticing, his face filled with uncontrollable joy.

"No wonder Grandfather likes Uncle Two, and his grandson likes him too."

Li Xiang answered honestly that even he did not have any hostility towards his second uncle.

"Hahaha……"

Hearing this, Li Shimin laughed happily.

In fact, he also knew about the conflict between Li Chengqian and Li Tai. But he doted on Li Tai too much and was reluctant to send Li Tai to the capital for Li Chengqian. Now his biggest wish was to let the two sons live in harmony, instead of the elder brother being suspicious of the younger brother every day.

In his opinion, Li Xiang, who could influence his father, also had a good impression of Li Tai, which was a good start.

As he laughed, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if your father could be like Qingque..."

Li Xiang fell silent upon hearing this. If Li Chengqian could be like Li Tai, what he would worry about would be how to suppress Li Jue.

"Xiang'er, Grandfather has something to ask of you."

Li Shimin suddenly put his hand on Li Xiang's shoulder.

Li Xiang's heart skipped a beat. When the emperor said he had something to ask of him...

He looked up and met Li Shimin's eyes full of expectation.

"I know that your father is quite uneasy about my doting on Qingque, and he also has some complaints about Qingque. Grandfather knows that now you are the only one who can persuade your father's stubborn ass."

"Help my grandfather, and tell your father not to always be prejudiced against Qingque..." As he said this, Li Shimin began to shed tears.

He wiped his eyes with his sleeve, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Li Xiang didn't know what he should say to ask Li Chengqian not to be prejudiced against Li Tai? Grandpa, do you think I'm a toad in a wishing well?

Isn't the root of all this your doting on your children regardless of age?

Indeed, Li Xiang admitted that he, Li Shimin, was a man of courage, affection and righteousness, and doted equally on every child born to Empress Zhangsun, making him a good father - but... as a father, you are not qualified at all!

He took two deep breaths, afraid that he would burst out.

It would be fine for Wei Zheng and other external officials to say such things, but as the son of Li Chengqian, his identity was sensitive and he definitely could not say such things.

But Li Shimin's tears made him feel a little soft-hearted.

This is just an old father's wish...

"Don't worry, Grandfather. I'll leave it to my grandson."

Li Xiang patted his chest and said confidently.

At the same time, he pretended to be hesitant and said, "It's just that... I feel that this kind of thing cannot be done by me alone."

"What do you mean?" Li Shimin looked down at Li Xiang.

Li Xiang raised his head and looked at Li Shimin: "Father Ye is worried that Second Uncle will be too favored and Grandfather will want to depose the Crown Prince, so he is at odds with Second Uncle."

"Let him go..."

Li Shimin was halfway through his scolding when he suddenly realized that he had made a mistake. Wasn't he also scolding Guanyin?

"Your father is always prone to wild thoughts. When did I ever think of deposing the crown prince?"

"What Grandfather said is just a preconceived position. I think Grandfather's favor to my second uncle is just to compensate him for not being able to become the crown prince. Am I right?"

After hearing Li Xiang's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but pat Li Xiang's shoulder approvingly.

"The elephant still understands me! He is truly my grandson!"

Li Xiang sighed and changed the subject, "But my father is in that position after all. As the saying goes, 'Those involved are confused, but those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly'. Being in that position, my father can't help but think too much..."

"Please forgive my grandson for his presumptuous behavior. May I ask if you had any thought of replacing Prince Yin in the fifth year of Wude?" Li Xiang asked again.

"Of course not." Li Shimin answered very straightforwardly.

"That's it, but the people around Prince Yin can't help but instill in him the idea that Aong wants to replace him day after day, so there is a disaster of quarreling."

When Li Xiang said this, he planned to set a trap for the people around Li Chengqian.

He also figured out one thing. The main point now was that the emperor was good and did nothing wrong; the prince was good and did nothing wrong; the king of Wei was even better and did nothing wrong. All the mistakes were instigated by the people around him.

Li Shimin was silent for a moment. Li Xiang's words touched his heart.

Even a man as wise and virtuous as him was unwilling to face his mistakes. And Li Xiang's words undoubtedly gave him a good excuse.

"Xiang'er, have you ever heard anything while you were with your father?"

Of course Li Xiang would not directly answer who they were. Since there were problems with the people around him, it couldn't be just Li Chengqian who had the problem. He had to make arrangements for his second uncle as well.

"Aunt, I am only analyzing it from the perspective of human nature."

"Human nature?" Li Shimin chewed over these two sentences gently.

"Aunt, whether it's around Aye or around Second Uncle, there must be such people..."

Li Xiang looked directly into Li Shimin's eyes and said word by word: "After all, no one... can refuse the merit of following the dragon!"

Hearing what his eldest grandson said, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel horrified!
