   Chapter 436 New Year (3)

  This New Year, Meng Yunluo had a troublesome time, and the fifth prince Li Chang was also very depressed.

  Li Chang was seriously ill a few years ago and has been recuperating in the palace. I didn't come out to see people until New Year's Day. On the first day of the new year, the prince led a hundred officials to sacrifice to the sky and ancestors, and he and the fourth prince followed behind the prince.

   Against the background of His Royal Highness, who is as handsome as a heaven and a man, he is like a fat mouse, only suitable to hide in a corner where there is no sunlight. Even if it appeared in the sun, it was naturally ignored by everyone.

   What he hated most in his life was the feeling of being ignored.

   He relied on his elder brother Li Hao, but secretly hated his outstandingness. He relies on his mother, but is always angry and resentful because of her mother's partiality.

   When Concubine Su died, he suddenly realized that although his mother was partial, she still loved him.

   His mother died, and no one in the palace cared about how he was sick and did not have three meals a day. He was recuperating in the palace, and apart from the imperial doctor, there was no one to visit him.

   Finally made it to the palace banquet.

  Li Chang sat there, the table full of delicious food, he didn't even move. Occasionally someone came to toast, but he refused to drink.

   "Fifth brother," the fourth prince who was sitting beside him reminded in a low voice, "There are so many people watching, don't always pull a face."

   These words instantly ignited the anger in Li Chang's heart.

   He raised his head, with anger flashing in his gloomy eyes: "My mother-in-law is dead, don't you want me to greet her with a smile!"

  Li Chang lost a lap, but he was still much fatter than the teenagers of the same age. The coldness in those slender eyes was unpleasant.

  The relationship between the fourth prince and Li Chang was mediocre, and it was purely a reminder out of good intentions. Seeing that he was not appreciative, he was too lazy to say: "I just reminded, I don't want to do as you please."

   Then, he turned his head to talk to someone else.

  Li Chang breathed out his resentment and stuck in his throat.

   Li Jing, who was sitting at the top, glanced at Li Chang calmly.

   Li Chang shuddered in his heart, and out of instinct, he quickly lowered his head.

   However, from beginning to end, he never moved his chopsticks.

   Those who are qualified to go to the palace banquet are at least civil officials and military generals above the fifth rank. There are also the royal family members of the Li family. No one is stupid, everyone sees it.

   Luo Shangshu and Qiao Ge Lao sat in a seat and motioned Qiao Ge Lao to look over there.

   Qiao Ge glanced at him and squeezed out a light hum from his nose.

   The rest of the Eastern Palace officials, who were not of high rank, sat farther away. Zhou Li and Fang Zizhan were jinshi in the same department, and they were both on duty in the East Palace.

   Zhou Li whispered to Fang Zizhan: "His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince seems to be quite dissatisfied with His Royal Highness."

  Fang Zizhan also lowered his voice: "The Fifth Highness is nothing to be afraid of, I'm just afraid that the disaster will come in the future."

  The third prince, Li Hao, is not a good person.

   How Emperor Yongjia would react is hard to say.

   Zhou Li understood as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help but sighed: "Speaking of which, the Crown Princess is indeed too impulsive. The Lady Su is hateful and slaying, but she shouldn't do it herself and let others talk about it."

  Fang Zizhan glanced at Zhou Li and said half-jokingly, "In front of the Crown Princess, you didn't say that."

   At that time, Zhou Li praised the crown princess and the concubine that there was nothing in the sky and nothing in the world.

   Zhou Li was thick-skinned and didn't feel embarrassed, and quickly smiled: "How dare I provoke the temper of the Crown Princess. At that time, I flattered a few words along the way. If you say something today, don't spread it out!"

   Fang Zi Zhan laughed it off.

  …

   In the evening, there was still a grand banquet in the palace.

   After such a busy day, Lu Mingyu had plenty of energy, but he couldn't bear it.

  揝 elder sister Xuan played all day, but at night, she couldn't hold it any longer, and she fell asleep in her mother's arms halfway through. Lu Mingyu entered the East Palace with two sleeping children on the left and right.

   After settling down the child, Li Jing also came back, also looking tired.

   "This day is really tiring." Li Jing stepped forward, put his arms around Lu Mingyu's waist, and rested his head on her shoulder, somewhat coquettishly.

   This is also a little fun between husband and wife.

  Lu Mingyu pursed her lips and smiled, stretched out her hand and scratched Li Jing's handsome face: "You're so coquettish for such a big person, don't be ashamed!"

  Li Jing laughed softly: "It's only right and proper to be coquettish to your daughter-in-law." The hot breath from his mouth flickered in Lu Mingyu's ear. Like a feather, it circled around her ear.

  Lu Mingyu's ears quickly turned red, and the blush quickly dyed on his cheeks, his eyes were like water: "Aren't you tired? Just settle down and rest early."

   That bit of tiredness was quickly dissipated by the heat in my heart. Li Jing grinned, picked up Lu Mingyu and went to the bed.

   After a long time, the trembling gauze tent regained its calm.

  The two hugged and talked together.

  Lu Mingyu first told Li Jing that Sister Xuan pushed Sister Zhen down: "...Sister Xuan is very strong. Once she starts playing, she doesn't matter. Today she pushed Sister Zhen to the ground."

   "I asked Sister Xuan to apologize. Meng Yunluo said something strange and sarcastic, which made my heart arouse. I simply used power to bully others."

  Li Jing didn't care: "She is very strong by nature, and she has to fight for victory in everything. But she can't compete with you everywhere, and she has been sulking in her heart. This is an attack by chance. You are right to ignore her."

   Listening to these words, it is not unreasonable at all, but it is very happy.

  Lu Mingyu chuckled silently.

   Li Jing whispered about Li Chang: "...Li Chang has resentment in his heart, and the look in my eyes today is like poisoning."

   Lu Mingyu's eyes flashed coldness: "I was the one who killed Concubine Su. He has resentment, just come at me."

"What he thinks is his business." Li Jing's voice also sank: "Concubine Su is still alive, even if the father is back, we husband and wife, just straighten our backs and tell the story of the matter. Report to the emperor."

  Lu Mingyu looked up and took a deep look at Li Jing: "I don't regret killing Concubine Su at all. However, you have to be prepared. If there is such a thing, the royal father will definitely be dissatisfied with the East Palace."

  There is only one emperor in the palace, and there is only one emperor in Great Wei.

   When Li Jing became a prince for one day, he had to submit to the dragon power of Emperor Yongjia.

   The execution of Concubine Su will definitely become a thorn in Emperor Yongjia's heart. After all, Concubine Su was the woman of Emperor Yongjia and gave birth to two princes for him. He made a huge mistake, and he should wait for Emperor Yongjia to come back and deal with it personally.

   Lu Mingyu personally took action and executed Concubine Su.

   Nine times out of ten, Emperor Yongjia would take out his anger at Li Jing.

  Li Jing came over and gave Lu Mingyu a heavy kiss on the lips: "I just regret that I didn't come back sooner and didn't kill that poisonous woman myself!"

   "Now that I have wings, no matter how dissatisfied the royal father is, he can't abolish me as a prince."
