Chapter 1940 Shocked Wang Yuan
"Cough...cough...cough."
When Li Chengqian heard Li Shen asking for money, he almost choked to death on a mouthful of tea.
"Tenth brother, you are almost obsessed with making money, and all you think about is money. I came to your place to ask for a favor, and you actually asked me for money?"
Li Chengqian now only regretted that he had not hit Li Shen lightly enough.
You have to know that today, Li Chengqian would not be satisfied even if he beat this guy to death.
You bastard, you’re asking me for money for a meal?
"Brother, it is only natural to pay for meals. Even if you are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you think you can eat without paying?
You should know that the ingredients in my house are all top quality. Except for Aye’s, even your East Palace doesn’t have them, right?
Most of the ingredients are shipped in from other places at full speed, and some of the shipping costs are more expensive than the ingredients themselves.”
Li Shen finally showed his true face as a profiteer, thinking to himself, let alone you, even if the emperor came to eat, he would have to pay something, right?
If I don't charge you, and you eat well and come every few days, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage?
No matter what, I still won't submit to you until you become emperor.
Li Chengqian was speechless. Regardless of his status as a prince, he was a guest and a brother of Li Shen. Even if they were ordinary families visiting each other, they would not charge for meals.
It was obvious that Li Shen wanted to blackmail him.
"Tenth brother, you and I are brothers, and you just wrote a letter to invite me here. Did you invite me to dinner just to collect my money?"
"Really?" Li Shen was stunned. He had forgotten that he had written a letter to invite Li Chengqian to dinner.
That said, I really have no reason to ask for money.
But...he was just being polite, who knew that Li Chengqian would really come.
No one present dared to speak. It was not convenient for outsiders like them to interrupt the affairs between brothers, especially since one was the crown prince and the other was a prince.
But when Li Shen said he wanted to invite the prince, everyone heard it clearly.
But Prince Ji turned around and denied it.
Wang Yuangan sat in the second to last seat, not daring to breathe. He looked at his nose with his eyes, at his mouth with his nose, and at his heart with his mouth. He focused his mind on his dantian and sat upright.
But inside I was extremely shocked.
It is said that Prince Ji is deeply favored by His Majesty, so he dares to act recklessly. It can be said that he is arrogant because of the favor.
But I didn't expect that Prince Ji would be so unscrupulous and casual with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the heir apparent of a country.
Although he is still the crown prince, he is already doing the things of an emperor and it won't be long before he succeeds to the throne and becomes the real emperor.
Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Prince Ji is too bold. Isn't he afraid of angering His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and bringing revenge in the future?
But then he discovered that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not get angry. Instead, he argued with Prince Ji and there was no sign of anger on his face.
Looking at the subordinates of Prince Ji's Mansion, except Pei Mingli who was a little surprised, everyone else looked accustomed to it. Even the Chief Secretary Wang Xuance seemed a little helpless.
This shows that they are already accustomed to such scenes.
It seems that His Royal Highness, like His Majesty, dotes on Prince Ji. It seems that Prince Ji will still be able to thrive and enjoy wealth in the next dynasty.
Thinking of this, Wang Yuan felt even more like he was blessed by heaven and felt fortunate to be the teacher of the children of Prince Ji's mansion.
What he didn't know was that the others were not used to it, but they had seen more explosive scenes than this. Their prince dared to defraud the emperor's money, so asking the prince for meal money today was nothing.
If one day Li Shen says that he can cheat God of his money, they will believe him.
The two brothers were arguing with each other, completely ignoring the people present.
Li Chengqian also ignored his status as the crown prince and insisted on competing with Li Shen.
This was the task assigned to him by their father. At that time, Li Shimin said, if you can win the argument with that scoundrel,
From now on you will be qualified to compete with other ministers in the court.
Li Shimin completely used Li Shen as a whetstone.
After arguing for a while, the two stopped because they were thirsty. From the current point of view, Li Chengqian was still at a disadvantage and he still lost to Li Shen's rogue way of defense.
The main reason is that he is not as shameless as Li Shen.
"Brother, have some tea." Lu Dingniang had been watching the fight between the two men from the side. This time she stood on the side of the prince, thinking that her husband had gone a little too far.
The prince came to eat and actually asked for money. It was simply unreasonable.
"Sister-in-law, I heard that there are iced fruit drinks in your house. They are very delicious. Sizi and the others always praise them to me. I wonder if you can let me taste them."
Li Chengqian looked at Lu Dingniang and asked.
"No."
"Have."
The two voices came from Li Shen and Lu Dingniang respectively. Lu Dingniang ignored Li Shen's resentful look and said to Li Chengqian with a smile:
"Wait a moment, sir. I will go and get you a cup myself."
Then he stood up and walked out.
"Madam, make a big pot." Li Shen said fiercely.
"I say, Tenth Brother, how come you have become so mercenary now? I have always treated you well. What request did I not grant you?
You actually treated me like this, it really chills my heart."
Hearing this, Li Shen became a little excited.
"Hey, tell me yourself, what have you done for me? In the end, you pushed every task onto Aye's side.
Regarding the matter in Xizhou, I spent 200,000 strings of cash to buy two imperial edicts, and...”
"Cough cough!"
Before Li Shen could finish, Li Chengqian coughed twice and signaled with his eyes that there were outsiders present. He said that it was okay for him to speak ill of the emperor, as he was just a prince, and he could not speak ill of the emperor in public.
Li Shen frowned and glanced at Wang Xuance and the others. They looked straight ahead with serious expressions. Li Shen asked gloomily:
"What did you just hear?"
"I heard nothing."
"I am old and my hearing is not very good."
"Heard nothing."
Several people shook their heads.
"Humph." Li Shen snorted, then turned his head to look at Li Chengqian.
"Don't worry, big brother. If even a word of what I said today gets out, I will send them overseas and let them farm on an uninhabited island."
After saying this, he glanced at a few people with a fierce look.
Several people were frightened into silence.
Since ancient times, royal secrets have been kept secret from outsiders, and many people have lost their lives because of them.
The law is nothing more than a tool for those in high positions to control those below them.
Because the laws were made by these people. It would be too easy for Li Shen to make them disappear quietly without anyone investigating afterwards.
"Tenth brother, it's not that serious. I will be frank with you. Just don't humiliate your majesty's reputation."
(Thanks for your concern, except for the few people who told me to wipe my butt with garlic and asked me what I did that night.
I have moved back to my hometown in the countryside to recuperate and try not to delay updating.
This is also the first time for me to have hemorrhoids. I have never experienced such pain before. It is more painful than giving birth.)
