Li Jingxing was already avoiding Rong Yunyun, so he used the excuse to ground Rong Yunyun and asked Du Qing not to stop Rong Yunyun's people from informing the second room of the Rong family.
After Rong Sheng and Rong Yang got the news, they rushed to the Prince's Mansion to ask for a meeting.
Li Jingxing ignored him, and the father and son waited until dawn before leaving in disappointment.
Li Jingxing took sick leave on the second day, and in the evening Rongsheng and his son came to see him again, but Li Jingxing was still not summoned. They were not allowed to enter the Prince's Mansion until the evening of the third day, and they left an hour later.
After Rongsheng and his son left, Li Jingxing couldn't wait to go to the backyard to find Chiyang. He pretended to be calm and said, "I stole a million taels from that old boy Rongsheng."
Chiyang's eyes widened in shock: "One million taels?!"
[This is equivalent to the Prince’s Mansion’s income for ten years! 】
Li Jingxing nodded: "I know that the Rong family is extremely rich, but I never thought that they could be so rich."
Thinking of Rongsheng's pleasure in giving him one million taels, he couldn't help but regret that he didn't pay more.
Seeing Li Jingxing's current cunningness, Chiyang couldn't help but think of the stupidity he committed in his previous life.
[Yeah, you said you were blind in your last life, and you still used your own money to subsidize the Rong family! 】
Li Jingxing's face turned slightly red.
I really don't have the eyesight to see which pot I don't open and pick up.
"There's something I want to tell you."
Chiyang saw that his face suddenly turned serious, and he seemed a bit embarrassed, so he asked seriously: "What do you want to say, Your Highness?"
【Which good sister have you chosen again? 】
Li Jingxing was speechless, one Rong Yunyun was enough to annoy him, and another one would probably make him sleepless all night.
"Rongsheng still has some oil on his body, I want to wait a little longer to touch them."
At least one more million will be blackmailed!
Chiyang breathed a sigh of relief: "I have no objection."
Li Jingxing thought: "I have already accepted Rong Sheng's apology. I can't keep Rong Yunyun locked up any longer. I will lift her confinement tomorrow. After this incident, she will probably be even more eager to have sex with me."
He paused slightly as he spoke.
Chiyang looked at him blankly.
Li Jingxing straightened his lips and said seriously: "Yang'er, I order you to send people to Luomei Courtyard early in the future!"
The "vomiting medicine" made by Rong Yunyun had a psychological impact on him. Whenever he thought about having to interact with Rong Yunyun for a while, his stomach couldn't help but turn upside down.
If he hadn't considered the free money, he wouldn't have "sold" his body and dignity to deal with Rong Yunyun's unappetizing woman.
Seeing Li Jingxing's expression of bitterness and hatred, Chiyang couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"I remember it, Your Highness, don't worry."
[I will save you from the fire and water in time. 】
After receiving Chiyang's assurance, Li Jingxing breathed a long sigh of relief, and then his eyes suddenly became hot.
"Yang'er~"
Chiyang immediately realized what he wanted to do and gave him a rude look.
This guy would call her by her best name affectionately only when he was seeking sex.
【Are you in heat again? 】
Li Jingxing didn't get angry or deny it, he just responded shamelessly.
...
Li Jingxing went to court the next day.
In the court hall, in front of all the civil and military officials, Li Zetian publicly issued an order to make Li Jingye a prince and give him the title of Qin.
Li Jingye had meritorious service in battle, and had meritorious service in rescuing the king at the palace banquet. This King of Qin should be reasonable, and no one raised objections without the sense of humor.
After the attendant read out the imperial edict, Li Zetian kept observing Li Jingxing's expression. Seeing that he looked as normal without any displeasure, he felt a little more satisfied.
He used to dislike Li Jingxing for suppressing his brothers, but now it seems that he has changed a lot, at least not visible on the surface.
Later, Li Zetian rewarded other people who had contributed to saving the driver based on their merits, but never mentioned a word about Li Jingxing.
Li Jingxing didn't seem to take it to heart and remained calm.
Li Jingxiao also secretly observed Li Jingxing's reaction. Seeing that he did not explode in public, he felt very regretful and even uttered some provocative words, but Li Jingxing remained as steady as a rock.
When he was about to go down to court, Li Zetian looked at Li Jingxing and suddenly said slowly: "The prince saved the King of Qin. He is kind and righteous, so he should be rewarded."
Li Jingxing was stunned for a moment before he suddenly came back to his senses and said excitedly: "Father, your compliments are what a son should do!"
Li Jingxing looked overjoyed, like a child who had been praised by his father. His joy was beyond words, which made Li Zetian feel inexplicably sad.
Only then did he vaguely remember that since he appointed Li Jingxing as the crown prince five years ago, he had never praised his son. He almost always beat and scolded him.
"If you do well, you should be rewarded! The first time I killed an assassin, the late emperor rewarded me with a dagger. I will give it to you today. I hope you will be harmonious as brothers in the future and not change your original intention."
Li Jingxing was really happy this time. He lifted up his robe and knelt down and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I will definitely obey your father's instructions!"
Li Zetian nodded with satisfaction.
Li Jingxiao clenched the fists in his sleeves and lowered his eyes to hide his unwillingness.
Could it be that the father no longer cares about the prince sending someone to "assassinate" his eldest brother?
The courtiers also had more ideas. The Holy Emperor praised the two princes. Which one do they like more?
After the morning session, Li Zetian approved the memorial for a while and suddenly looked up at his old friend Li Yu.
"Do you think I was too harsh on my second son?"
Just now, Li Jingxing looked happy after receiving his praise, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Li Yusi thought: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince of a country. Your Majesty should be strict with him."
Li Zetian accepted Li Yu's statement with peace of mind, subconsciously ignoring the fact that he was actually forced to establish the crown prince and was not optimistic about Li Jingxing.
"What you said makes sense. I hope he can understand my good intentions."
Li Yu quickly agreed: "His Royal Highness will definitely do it."
...
Li Jingxiao didn't have any serious errands. After going to court, he went to Prince Duan's Mansion in the name of looking for a "good friend."
Gu Qingzhi was lying on the beauty's couch, taking a nap. When he heard the movement from the window, his eyes trembled but he did not open them.
Gu Qingzhi's indifference made Li Jingxiao's heart run cold. He quickly walked forward and snuggled up next to Gu Qingzhi flatteringly.
"Zhi'er."
After a long while, Gu Qingzhi opened his eyes and said coldly: "I wonder what your highness is doing?"
Li Jingxiao was extremely flustered. He hugged Gu Qingzhi and said eagerly: "Zhi'er, if you give me one last chance, I will definitely get rid of Gu Qingluan!"
Gu Qingzhi looked at Li Jingxiao without saying a word.
Li Jingxiao was disturbed by her direct gaze. He grabbed her hand and pressed it on her heart, begging hard: "Zhi'er, don't leave me, okay?"
After a long while, Gu Qingzhi said indifferently: "Li Jingxiao, I will give you one last chance. If you still disappoint me, we will sever all ties and we will be parted from now on!"
