Chapter 62 Li You Enters Beijing
Meng Shu did not respond to Li Chengqian's words.

If it weren't for the statement that Li Xiang went to Prince Wei's mansion to deliver money, Li Chengqian would definitely be furious and deal with those palace servants who "colluded with Prince Wei".

But after adding this sentence, Li Chengqian became cautious.

He is not stupid, he is just a little manic. As long as he can calm down, he can think things through.

"Send those palace people to Xiang'er's bedroom and let him deal with them."

Li Chengqian said, and then he paused for a moment before saying, "Also, give this letter to Xiang'er and let him make the decision."

"Yes." Meng Shu replied.

After pondering for a while, Li Chengqian said, "Forget it, I'll give it to him myself."

While speaking, he pretended to be angry, as if he was angry with Li Xiang.

He also had his own considerations in his heart. If he asked Meng Shu to give it, Li Chengqian was afraid that some unnecessary misunderstandings would arise.

The previous incident of him and his father doubting each other was not too far away. Now he is repeating the same mistake before his position is consolidated. This cannot be explained by the word "stupid".

After returning to the Eastern Palace, Li Xiang went to the Mingde Hall to pay his respects as usual.

This time, Li Chengqian dismissed Ruyi.

He didn't want anyone to know what was said between father and son.

After returning to her residence, Ruyi seemed to walk casually under a pear tree and dropped a handkerchief on the ground.

Not long after, a eunuch happened to pass by and picked up the silk handkerchief on the ground.

In the Mingde Hall, Li Xiang glanced at the secret letter and returned it to Li Chengqian with a smile.

"News in Chang'an is very timely. I just gave my second uncle 600,000 Kaiyuan Tongbao coins, and Helan Chushi knew about it?"

"How much?" Li Chengqian was surprised.

"In two and a half days, the restaurant made a profit of two thousand strings of cash." Li Xiang Xiaoxiang spread his hands.

Li Chengqian couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. It was no secret that the Eastern Palace was poor. He spent 20,000 strings of cash on repairing the palace and was caught by the censor and scolded for half a month.

"Elephant..."

Li Chengqian immediately put on an eager face: "Can you take me to do some business?"

"Didn't Daye dislike me for being a child the day before yesterday? He also said that Second Uncle would definitely lose money?" Li Xiang asked with a cute face.

Li Chengqian was choked by these words.

"Ah, it is because I am blind, please don't be offended, my son."

There was a hint of flattery in Li Chengqian's smile, but there was nothing he could do as the old lady in the East Palace was tired of being poor.

"Don't worry, Aye, there are plenty of profitable businesses." Li Xiang responded with a mysterious smile.

Li Chengqian nodded and asked, "What do you think about Helan Chushi's list?"

Li Xiang did not rush to answer, but asked: "Has Aye ever had any encounter with Duke Chen?"

"Of course there are some. Helan Chushi is the son-in-law of Duke Chen." Li Chengqian said truthfully.

"What about you, Aye, have you ever thought about winning him over?" Li Xiang asked softly.

"Some time ago, I wanted to win him over, but now I don't want to do that anymore." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "But I heard from Helan Chushi that Duke Chen said that I have the bearing of a wise ruler and he also wants to make friends with me."

"I heard that Hou Junji is quite resentful and always thinks that his grandfather is unfair." Li Xiang said softly: "A general who is resentful actually wants to make friends with the crown prince..."

"Besides, you know how you were a while ago. Hou Junji's words were probably not a compliment to you..."

"Fuck you!" Li Chengqian was furious: "What do you mean I know it myself? Do I have a bad image?"

"Do you have a good reputation?" Li Xiang said with a smile.

Li Chengqian took a deep breath and decided not to argue with the child.

Children speak without restraint, forget it.

"Aye, who are our friends and who are our enemies? This is the main problem we have to face." Li Xiang continued to strengthen Li Chengqian: "Hou Junji felt that Aong was unfair, so he was resentful and turned his attention to you."

"Since ancient times, there are two greatest merits: one is saving the emperor, and the other is following the emperor. Father is in the deep palace, so there is no way to save the emperor, so he can only hope to get the merit of following the emperor - but father is in the prime of his life, so Hou Junji's intention is obvious..."

At the end, Li Xiang asked with finality, "Do you think you can lead your troops to Xuanwu Gate to fight Aweng? Or can Hou Junji fight the Duke of E?"

"If it weren't for what Xiang'er said, I, as a father, would have almost been misled by that villain!" Li Chengqian suddenly realized.

Got it, everything is understood.

"Father knows that with my son here, father's position as heir is secure. If father and son become disunited, father can only rely on him, Hou Junji!"

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian broke out in a cold sweat.

"You old thief! You and I can never coexist!" He cursed with gritted teeth.

Li Xiang was also somewhat relieved and said, "It's a pity that Hou Junji had made all kinds of plans, but he didn't expect that Aye would trust me so much."

Unconsciously, Li Xiang revealed a look like an old father.

"What's that look?" Li Chengqian was stunned. This kind of look... he had often seen it in Li Shimin's eyes when he was a child.

"Nothing, I just feel that Aye has grown up..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Xiang saw Li Chengqian stand up angrily.

He jumped up and ran out, with Li Chengqian chasing after him.

"Little bastard! Stop right there!"

The setting sun fell on the Mingde Hall, stretching its shadow very long.

The sounds of laughter from the father and son could be heard in the hall, adding a touch of warmth to the solemn and dignified palace.

At this moment, a team of guards entered Chang'an from the city gate, followed by a luxurious carriage.

"Your Majesty, we are entering Chang'an."

A man on the horse beside the car leaned forward and said.

"Uncle, I've told you so many times that there's no need to be polite among family members."

A hoarse voice sounded from inside the car.

The curtain was opened, revealing a gloomy and handsome face.

It was none other than Li Shimin's fifth son, Prince of Qi Li You.

"This time, Aye summoned me back to the capital, it must be to reward me for my achievements in Qizhou."

"But it's getting late now, let's go to the palace to see Father and Mother tomorrow."

Li You scratched his chin and glanced in the direction of Pingkangfang with a vague look.

After being away from Beijing for so long, I really miss the courtesan in Pingkangfang in the capital.

It didn't matter that I took a quick glance, I just happened to see the bustling Jianghu Restaurant.

"What's going on over there? Why are there so many people around?"

Li You became interested and asked, pointing over there.

Someone immediately went forward to inquire, and soon came back to report: "Report to the king, there is a new restaurant over there, and it is said that the food is very delicious, so there are so many people gathering there."

"Delicious?" Li You immediately became interested.

As a prince who does not work properly, this guy believes that eating, drinking and having fun are the essence of life.

Since it is so popular among the picky people of Chang'an, it must taste very good.

Li You lowered the curtain and gave instructions to the driver.

"Let's go, follow me and take a look."
