   Chapter 540 Father and Son

  Li Chang realized later that he had said the wrong thing.

   He shrank his neck nervously, not daring to look up at Emperor Yongjia's face.

   The unlucky Li Hao had to open his mouth to save Li Chang: "The fifth brother is still young, his mind is shallow, and he speaks without thinking. Father, don't bother with the fifth brother."

   did not wait for Emperor Yongjia to open his mouth, and glared at Li Chang again: "Su Guiren entered the harem, and everything is decided by the father or the mother. Where is your turn to talk more. Why don't you apologize to the father!"

  The two brothers can't protect themselves, and they can't take care of a Su Guiren.

   Whether Su Rou lives or dies depends on her fate.

   Li Chang frowned and pleaded guilty: "My son is reckless, please forgive me."

  Emperor Yongjia said lightly: "Forget it, I won't take such a trivial matter into my heart. You should step back first!"

  Li Chang responded in a low voice, and after walking out of the hall door, he sighed sullenly.

   In the past, he often resented Concubine Su in his heart, and hated that his mother only had the third brother in his eyes, so he was a lot more indifferent to him. When Concubine Su died, he realized that it turned out that in the palace, the person who cared about him the most was Concubine Su.

   For the past year, he has been living in the Mansion of the Third Prince. Even if Li Hao reprimanded him, he was willing. It's not because, apart from Li Hao, there is no one inside or outside the palace who wants to scold him...

   In the eyes of Emperor Yongjia, his son is like a pool of mud in the corner.

In the hall, Emperor Yongjia said to Li Hao: "I know that you have been wronged. The old affairs of the past have nothing to do with you. You are my son, the Prince of Wei, and the rumors are ridiculous and ridiculous, and I will never believe them."

   Li Hao's eyes were faintly red, and his voice was still calm: "The father and the emperor's words have been written down by the sons and the ministers."

  Emperor Yongjia sighed and patted Li Hao on the shoulder: "Anyway, the crown prince is your elder brother, and the crown princess is your sister-in-law. You have to respect them and let them."

   Li Hao responded immediately, but a slight chill appeared in his heart.

  In the heart of Emperor Yongjia, in the end it was still more important for Jiangshan and Sheji. Emperor Yongjia's favorite son might not be Li Jing, but Emperor Yongjia decided that Li Jing was the most suitable prince.

   These words are a reminder and a warning.

  Emperor Yongjia pondered for a moment and then said: "After Achang gets married, I will give you an errand. You leave Beijing to do an errand. After returning to Beijing in a few months, the rumors will be completely gone."

  Li Hao cheered up and replied: "My son is willing to share the worries for the father and the emperor."

   Not even if you don’t want to. Emperor Yongjia opened his mouth, and there was no room for him to refuse.

Seeing Li Hao agreeing happily, Emperor Yongjia smiled with satisfaction: "It's good if you can figure it out. I sent you away from the Beijing office to avoid rumors, and to give you the opportunity to do some errands and exercise. Two. Not only you, but also your eldest brother, fourth brother and fifth brother, will have to leave Beijing to run errands in the future."

   "In the future, you will all be vassal kings in one place, and you can't just let your officials do things. You have to learn a little bit about the six matters. You have to know everything when you are tasked with taxation, farmland, and grain. Otherwise, it's easy to be fooled by your officials."

   "It's the crown prince, and he will often leave Beijing as an errand in the future."

  Prince, also often leave Beijing on errands?

Li Hao's eyes flashed, and he replied with a smile: "Father, the emperor's painstaking efforts are all for the sake of the son. The son is grateful. The so-called reading ten thousand volumes of books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. In the past two years, Erchen has gained a lot."

   "In the future, my son can do errands from Beijing, learn about people's livelihood, and go to the Great Wei territory to take a look around. This is a good thing that kills three birds with one stone. My son, thank you father and emperor."

  Li Hao stayed in the hall for half an hour before leaving.

   As soon as he left the Wenhua Hall, he saw Li Chang standing under the eaves, bowing his head and bowing his waist, looking dejected.

  Li Hao looked so angry that he could not wait to step forward and kick Li Chang: "Stand up straight. What does he look like with his brows and eyes down."

  Li Chang reflexively stood up straight.

   Li Hao was even worse. He glanced at Li Chang and said briefly, "You still have to move into the Fifth Prince's Mansion, so go back now!"

  Li Chang snorted, with some reluctance on his face.

  Li Hao was enraged: "In ten days, you are about to get married. If you don't move out, do you want to bring your new daughter-in-law into my house?"

  Li Chang's eyes lit up and looked expectantly: "Actually, living together is quite lively."

  Li Hao: "..."

   Li Hao had blue veins looming on his forehead, clenched his fist hard, and made a click.

   This is because the rumors are not ugly enough, right!

   Li Chang shuddered and laughed immediately: "I was just joking, third brother, don't take it seriously."

  Li Hao let out a cold snort from his nose: "Don't be ashamed here, go back to the house and talk about it."

  Li Chang lowered his head and answered weakly.

  …

  Meng Yunluo led Sister Zhen to spend time in Yanxi Palace.

   Before going to the palace, you must go to Yihua Palace to greet you. Now that Concubine Su is dead, there is a Su Guiren living in Yihua Palace...Meng Yunluo will naturally not go to Yihua Palace. He simply took his daughter to stay in the Yanxi Palace.

   Concubine Meng is the aunt of Meng Yunluo's direct relative and has a different relationship with others. Talking to Meng Yunluo did not turn around so much, she opened her mouth and scolded: "Li Hao is going to send Su Guiren into the palace on the same day, why don't you stop this matter? The Meng family was laughed at, and Li Hao was arrested. If you are forced to report illness, won't you look good on the face of your third prince concubine?"

  Meng Yunluo was full of grievances: "I can't stop what Your Highness is going to do."

   Concubine Meng snorted softly: "It's not. Not only can you not stop it, but you were also coaxed into a daze by him and helped you out."

  Meng Yunluo's eyes were red: "Auntie, don't say anything. I am also full of regrets, but what can I do? Things have come to this stage, and it is too late to regret."

   Concubine Meng was so annoyed, of course, not all because she felt bad for her niece.

   More importantly, this incident involved the Meng family. Guangping Hou reported that she could not get sick, and she also felt aggrieved in the palace. When everyone pointed at each other, they had to mention what happened to her and Emperor Yongjia back then.

  Under the anger of Emperor Yongjia, fewer people came to Yanxi Palace. Now in the harem, in addition to Wang Jieyu's favor, there are two other young palace concubines who are also quite favored.

  Meng Yunluo also knew a thing or two about Concubine Meng's situation. She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice, "I know my aunt is having a hard time in the palace. However, the rumors will fade away, and things will get better in the future."

   Concubine Meng was full of sorrow and bitterness, and couldn't help but sighed: "I am getting old day by day. There are many young and tender beauties around the emperor. What else will be good in the future."

   Forget it, don’t say it.

   Concubine Meng was about to change the subject when she heard Meng Yunluo ask in a low voice, "I was outside the palace, and I only heard that Guiren Su had given birth. I don't know the inside story. Aunt, what happened that day?"

   Concubine Meng did not hide: "Su Guiren was three months pregnant, and the good news reached the emperor. That night, the emperor went to Yihua Palace and enjoyed a bowl of bird's nest. Su Guiren gave birth at night."

  Meng Yunluo: "..."
