In ancient times, there was an unwritten rule.
Men who have not yet married are not allowed to live alone, otherwise they will not respect filial piety.
This rule may sound a bit excessive, but in ancient times, that was it.
As for Gao Zhixing, who did not have a family, he naturally still lived with his father, Gao Shilian.
After returning from Yizhou, Gao Shilian went to the Ministry of Personnel to serve as Shangshu.
I also attended the court meeting this morning.
As Li Chengqian's uncle and half-teacher, he was also proud of Li Chengqian.
And more importantly, he defeated Wei Zheng.
You know, Wei Zheng and Gao Shilian are mortal enemies.
When Gao Shilian was demoted to Yizhou, it was this old man Wei who was the one who played a role in it.
Today, Li Chengqian prevented Wei Zheng from coming to Taiwan, which was equivalent to avenging Gao Shilian.
After Gao Shilian returned home, he even added three more meat dishes and drank more than half a bottle of wine.
At this moment, Li Chengqian suddenly arrived.
Gao Shilian was also very happy and went out to greet him personally.
When he saw Gao Shilian, Li Chengqian also changed from his usual arrogant attitude. He bowed respectfully and said, "My dear, I'm going to meet my uncle."
To a certain extent, Gao Shilian was the benefactor of Li Chengqian's mother, Empress Changsun and Changsun Wuji.
Therefore, it is understandable that Li Chengqian respects him.
And seeing him being so polite, Gao Shilian was even happier.
"No need to be polite, no need to be polite."
"You are now His Royal Highness."
Gao Shilian said with a smile: "As a minister, I should be the one giving you gifts."
"Uncle, you are just joking."
"My mother is a queen, so I still have to call you uncle, right?"
Li Chengqian also smiled and said: "The prince is nothing special, he is still the grandson of my uncle."
Seeing him like this, Gao Shilian was also very happy.
He said: "Not bad, not bad. I have grown up and look more and more like an adult."
With that said, he opened the door and said: "Come on, come on, sit inside for a while, don't stay outside."
Afterwards, the two of them entered the house together.
As he walked, Gao Shilian praised Li Chengqian for how brilliant and admirable he was in the court today.
After hearing these compliments, Li Chengqian also smiled and agreed.
And after coming to the living room and sitting down.
Gao Shilian asked directly: "Looking at what Your Highness means, are you here to find Quanzi today?"
"Yes uncle."
"Today, my father ordered me to go to Jiangnan Road."
"I'm not very familiar with the situation there, so I want to discuss some things with my cousin."
Li Chengqian did not hide anything and directly stated his intention.
Gao Shilian nodded, waved his hand and called the boy to summon Gao Zhi.
Not long after, Gao Zhixing followed the boy to the living room.
When he saw Li Chengqian, there was a meaningful smile on his face.
Gao Shilian glanced at Gao Zhixing and then said: "His Highness has something to discuss with you. You must know everything and tell him everything."
After saying that, he looked at Li Chengqian again and said, "Your Highness, we are already here. You two should chat first. I have something else to do here."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian stood up quickly and said, "Qian'er, I would like to send my uncle off."
Gao Shilian waved his hand and then walked away.
Only Li Chengqian and Gao Zhixing were left in the living room.
After his father left, Gao Zhixing changed his reserved look and sat down next to Li Chengqian.
He said with a smile: "What's the matter? Do you think you have received the gift I gave you?"
"Gift?"
Li Chengqian took out the letter, slapped it on the table, and said, "Is this what you said, so that I don't have to go to the East Palace for half a year?"
"yes."
Gao Zhixing slowly took a sip of tea and said, "If you go to Jiangnan Road, don't you need to go to the East Palace?"
"Hey, you think I'm a fool, don't you?"
Li Chengqian said angrily: "Even if I don't go to the East Palace for half a year, after I leave Chang'an City, won't my father still have to help me move?"
"Then I have nothing to do with it."
Gao Zhixing looked like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and said: "What we said at the beginning was not to go to the East Palace for half a year, not to move."
"Okay, you can do it."
Li Chengqian sneered and said, "But don't get too proud too early."
"Today, my father told me how handsome and talented Su Minquan, the top candidate in this year's imperial examination, is."
"And he's about the same age as my sister, and I heard he's my sister's type."
"I'll take my sister to see that guy tomorrow."
"If the two of them see eye to eye, it would really be a beautiful thing."
"After all, a talented man and a beautiful woman are a match made in heaven."
Li Chengqian stood up slowly and said, "Okay, I've finished what I need to say, and I'm leaving."
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"Li Chengqian, you are not trustworthy."
Hearing what Li Chengqian said, Gao Zhi became anxious.
He stood up and grabbed Li Chengqian's arm and said, "You said well at first that you were going to help me propose a marriage. Why have you changed your mind now?"
"Changing your mind?"
"Is there any?"
Li Chengqian tilted his head and said, "What I said at the beginning was that if you could do it, I wouldn't have to move for half a year, and then I would help you propose marriage."
"At the moment, you failed to do it, and you dared to lie to me."
"Then why should I help you?"
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "Also, don't pull on my clothes. This is the newly made prince's court uniform. You can't afford to pay for it if it's torn."
After saying that, he started to walk out again.
Gao Zhixing chased after him and said, "Okay, okay, just stop making trouble."
"I know why you came here, I tell you, why don't you tell me everything?"
Gao Zhixing was also completely tempered by Li Chengqian.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian finally stopped and walked back to his position.
He said: "Let's talk first. If I am not satisfied with the reason mentioned, I will still do it according to my ideas. Don't worry about my sister."
Hearing this, Gao Zhixing took a deep breath.
He said: "If your sister knew that you threatened me with her like this, she wouldn't be able to cripple you?"
"hey-hey."
"Even if my sister knew, she wouldn't say anything."
"After all, I am my sister's favorite brother."
Li Chengqian said with a smirk on his face: "And you guys, please listen to me. I am the prince of the dynasty, so don't be nagging me. You know what you should and shouldn't say."
With this last sentence, he simply used his own identity to suppress him.
But is it so high that the guild will be afraid?
Of course not.
After all, they had grown up together and knew each other's temperament.
If Li Chengqian was really such a person who used his status to oppress others, he would probably not even look at him, let alone do things for him.
However, when it comes to Li Tingxue, Gao Zhixing really has no temper.
He simply told the truth in front of Li Chengqian.
And when Li Chengqian finished listening, his face was also full of surprise.
He said: "So, is this matter really arranged by my father?"
