I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

“Princess, now that my eldest brother has inherited the title, he is the head of the family. He hasn’t even passed the mourning period yet, so isn’t it inappropriate to divide the family?

Besides, the family business was inherited by my eldest brother, and I only have a very small share.

My eldest brother gave me that share a long time ago, and now our main wealth comes from the cooperation with His Royal Highness Prince Ji."

Fang Yiai explained to Gao Yang timidly.

Although Princess Gaoyang has changed her attitude towards him a lot over the years, his temperament is still arrogant and unreasonable.

But Fang Yiai always tolerated it, firstly because Gao Yang was a princess, and secondly because Gao Yang was bright.

Fang Yiai loved her very much, so he tolerated her again and again.

"So what? Fang Yiai, you are the imperial consort. How can my imperial consort be just an ordinary person?

Your elder brother has no achievements, so why should he inherit the title?

We can give up the family business, but we cannot give up the title. You must give it back to this princess."

Princess Gaoyang's arrogant temper came out. She just wanted her husband to inherit the title and become a duke.

Most of her sisters married the best of the second generation, and many of them have now inherited the titles and are working in the court.

But her own husband was still a Palace Attendant and had no title.

This made her feel very embarrassed, so she wanted to take away Fang Yizhi's title and give it to Fang Yiai.

But how could this title be taken away just because one wanted to? Princess Gaoyang once told Fang Yizhi to give the title to Fang Yiai.

Fang Yizhi directly rejected Princess Gaoyang.

This made Princess Gaoyang jealous.

The reason he got angry today was because Fang Yiai was unwilling to treat his own brother like this.

"Princess, even His Majesty would not agree to this, it is against moral principles, and now my family relies entirely on my eldest brother for support.

This title is too important to my Fang family.

What should we do if His Majesty becomes angry over this matter and revokes the title?

By then, not only the civil and military officials in the court, but even the people will criticize our Fang family. Wouldn't that make us a laughing stock for the whole world?"

Although Fang Yiai is a bit careless and prefers martial arts over literature, she is not a fool.

The Fang family is now in decline without the support of their father.

It was only supported by the title of Duke of Liang and the honorary position of Yinqing Guanglu Dafu.

If the two brothers angered His Majesty by fighting over the title, and then the title was taken back, wouldn't their Fang family be laughed at?

"Humph, this princess doesn't care about that. If you want to be my consort, you can't be worse than others.

You can’t let this princess lose face among princesses.”

Princess Gaoyang snorted and refused to give in.

The most successful princess now is Princess Linchuan, Li Mengjiang. Her husband has inherited the title of Duke of Qiao County.

Although he is not a duke, his future is limitless. He is now the Inspector General of the Right Guard and follows the army to attack the Tubo border.

Even if he didn't fight this time, it was still a definite credit. Looking at his own son-in-law, he was nothing. This hurt Gao Yang's sense of comparison.

"This...Princess...this is really a bit." Fang Yiai was helpless. Isn't this asking him to do something unkind and unjust?

"You..." Princess Gao Yang was about to teach Fang Yiai a lesson when a servant came in and reported:

"Your Highness, Prince Ji has sent a visiting card and it is outside the door." As he spoke, a servant put the visiting card on the ground.

"Prince Ji?" Princess Gaoyang took the visiting card with confusion and took a look at it. It was indeed a visiting card from Prince Ji's mansion.

I couldn't help but glance at Fang Yiai, who also looked confused at this moment.

"What is Prince Ji here for?" Princess Gaoyang asked Fang Yiai.

Fang Yiai shook his head:

"I don't know either, but since he's here, we still have to welcome him. Tell them to open the middle gate and welcome Prince Ji."

Fang Yiai gave an order. Although it was a princess's mansion, he was still the male owner after all.

Princess Gaoyang had an expression of reluctance on her face, but she also knew that rules are rules.

From the perspective of rank, the prince and the princess are of the same rank, but the actual status of the prince is higher.

Besides, Prince Ji is not an ordinary prince, so she naturally knows that Li Shen is favored by the emperor.

This is known to everyone in the royal family. He is more favored than their eldest brother, the crown prince, which makes many people envious and jealous.

He is so powerful and wealthy that no one dares to mess with him.

When Fang Yiai and Princess Gaoyang arrived at the gate, the middle door was already wide open.

Li Shen was sitting in the carriage, waiting bored.

He was actually holding a raccoon in his arms, a white raccoon.

Both of them had heard that Prince Ji spent one million to buy a pair of Persian cats at court, and this must be one of them.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Ji." Fang Yiai hurried forward to pay his respects.

"Well, we are all family, so there is no need to be polite." Li Shen nodded, jumped off the carriage, came to Gao Yang and bowed lazily.

"Meet Sister Seventeen."

"Meet the Tenth Brother."

After the two of them had established contact with each other, Princess Gaoyang made a gesture of invitation and said:

"Tenth brother, please come in."

"Thank you, Sister Seventeen."

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Li Shen strode in.

When they arrived at the front hall, Li Shen was seated in the main seat, accompanied by Princess Gaoyang and her husband.

"Sister Seventeen, your place is really nice. Each courtyard has its own unique scenery. I'm sure it will be very pleasant when the flowers bloom in spring."

After sitting down, Lian Si started praising him.

"You are too kind, Tenth Brother. I only have thirty acres of land here, which is far from the size of Twelfth Sister's house.

Not to mention that your Prince Ji's mansion occupies an entire block of land." Princess Gaoyang shook her head.

This is the princess mansion awarded by Li Shimin. After being repainted and renovated, it was given to Princess Gaoyang.

There were many princesses who could have been rewarded by His Majesty, but almost none as big as this.

Gao Yang was complacent about this for a while.

But later, when she heard that Prince Ji built a fifty-acre house for Princess Linchuan, she was no longer happy.

I also heard that Li Mengjiang returned the princess dress given to her to His Majesty, saying that it was for someone in need.

This made Princess Gaoyang jealous for a long time.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, I wonder what the purpose of your visit is? If you have any instructions, please let me know."

Fang Yiai stood up and bowed and asked.

"Haha, it's nothing. It's been such a long time since I last saw Sister Seventeen and Yiai.

So I came here specially to take a look and do some small things by the way. "

Li Shen said to the two of them with a smile, stroking the cat's head again and again.

"Then I wonder what little thing my tenth brother wants to do?" Princess Gaoyang asked with some confusion.

"It's nothing, actually. I just heard not long ago that Sister Seventeen wanted the title of the two countries. Is there such a thing?"

Li Shen stroked the cat with a calm expression on his face, but it didn't sound so friendly to Princess Gaoyang's ears.

"Tenth brother, even if this happened, it's not your turn to take care of it, right?

Besides, this matter has nothing to do with you."
