Chapter 514 Comfort and Complaint

"Cheng Jian!"

When Li Longji asked someone to call Xue Chongjian from Taichang to the East Palace, he could still smell the alcohol on his body and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Why are you drinking in this blue sky and sun?"

Xue Chongjian bowed and sat down on the seat brought by the eunuch. Hearing this, his face collapsed immediately and he forced a smile, but he smiled extremely ugly, and bowed: "Thank you, the prince, for asking, it's the minister, not..."

Li Longji waved his hand and interrupted him: "What kind of minister is not? There is no need to talk about the false rituals between you and me. Come on, I ask you, but I am in a bad mood? Who is upsetting you?"

Xue Chongjian pouted, endured it, and couldn't help complaining: "I'm not my brother-in-law yet!"

"Zhang Shimao?"

Li Longji was puzzled and asked, "Why did he mess with you anymore? I see, he was still very concerned about you in the past."

Xue Chongjian said angrily: "My brother-in-law has changed and he is no longer the same as before."

"Zhang Shimao's character is praised by both the court and the country. Is there any misunderstanding?"

Li Longji persuaded him, and Xue Chongjian sneered: "Will you look down on others if you have good character?"

Li Longji understood and asked in surprise: "Zhang Shimao looks down on you?!"

From childhood to adulthood, Zhang Changzong saw that he was almost like a brother to Xue Chongjian, and he treated Xue Chongjian more affectionately than his nephew. Why would Xue Chongjian say that?

Xue Chongjian said: "On weekdays, my mother and sister are in charge of me, he has to take care of me, even if I have to deal with everything in communication, and always scold me! Am I still a child? I am not as good as my elder brother in school, and my martial arts skills are not as good as him, but I also assisted the prince in destroying Empress Wei and taking the position of Taichangqing as a Taichangqing? One or two of them treat me as a child, and they have no respect for me, and they have a sense of recognition... Your Highness, I am holding my breath!"

It turns out that's the reason.

Li Longji smiled, and didn't act like a prince's airs. He walked down the bed and sat with Xue Chongjian, patted him: "I think you may have misunderstood General Zhang's kindness. You are not a child now. You are about to get married. You should stand up. Otherwise, how can you be a husband and a father in the future? I used to be casual. Since I became the prince of the Eastern Palace, I can't be like before. Otherwise, no one would like to listen to what I said."

Xue Chongjian listened to his persuasion, and heard this and asked back: "You are the crown prince and the crown prince of a country. Does anyone dare to ignore you?"

Li Longji smiled and said, "Of course there is nothing on the surface, but in secret, you can see it when you order someone to do things. It is not because of the title of the prince, but the court and the country are willing to obey me inside and outside. I also need to show the ability and demeanor that matches it to the public. Chongjian, we can no longer be like the past. If you become Taichangqing, you must show the demeanor and ability that Taichangqing should have. You can no longer be like a child. If you still act like the past, let alone aunt and Xin'an, even General Zhang will scold you. When we grow up, it's time to start a business."

Xue Chongjian was stunned, silently lowered his head, a little depressed, but he still saluted gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your guidance, I understand."

Li Longji smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "I still have many things I want you to help me do. You have to stand up quickly, help me do things well, and show your ability. When my aunt and General Zhang see your ability, they will naturally not treat you as a child and will respect you."

Xue Chongjian thought about it, so he responded repeatedly: "Here!"

Li Longji smiled happily and said, "The future is long, so don't worry about this. By the way, I came to you today because I asked you something else, what happened to Chongyin and my aunt...? Why are you suddenly exiled to Guangzhou by my aunt?"

"exile?!"

Xue Chongjian was a little confused: "Why haven't I heard of this? Guangzhou?! What's that place? I haven't heard of it! Your Highness, what's going on?"

Li Longji was surprised: "You don't know?"

Xue Chongjian was a little ashamed: "I often went to and from home these days. I was angry with him and didn't want to see him. When I went home after I left my post, I stayed in my own house and never cared about other things."

“…”

Li Longji was shocked and looked at Xue Chongjian with a shameless look on his face. He suddenly understood why Zhang Changzong scolded him. He paused and said, "Chongjian, you can't do this. The family should care about each other. You and Chongyin are brothers of the same mother."

Xue Chongjian's face was flushed: "I know I was wrong, but I won't be there in the future. But what's going on with exile?"

Only then did Li Longji tell him what happened in the past few days, Xue Chongjian was stunned: "Brother angered his mother? Because he doesn't want to be an official?"

Xue Chongjian thought about it and smiled bitterly: "It may be something that my elder brother can do. Your Highness doesn't know that my mother is becoming more and more domineering when she is close. In addition to being content with all the things she wants, she wants to take care of our brothers. She often scolds us whenever she wants. She makes us miserable. My elder brother likes to study, and most of them come and go. He once told me that she likes to exchange knowledge and experience with others. Every time my brother-in-law goes to the house, she will hold her brother-in-law to discuss. My mother wants to become an official in the court, but my elder brother wants to do research in the Imperial College... No wonder my mother is so angry."

Li Longji nodded and said with concern: "Why is this between mother and son? Chongjian, can you go back and persuade him?"

Xue Chongjian immediately shook his head: "Please advise my elder brother to be successful, advise my mother... Your Highness, don't make things difficult for me. If I dare to persuade me, I am afraid that before I finish a word, I will be beaten by my mother. It is a decisive idea to persuade my mother. Instead of persuading my mother, it is better to persuade my elder brother."

Li Longji smiled and said, "It's okay to persuade Chongyin, let him be soft. If he doesn't, he can persuade his aunt to change his mind. In such remote places like Guangzhou, I'm afraid that Chongyin will not be able to endure hardship."

As he said that, he also told Xue Chongjian about the approximate location of Guangzhou and the people's conditions. When Xue Chongjian heard that it was such a remote place, he could not sit still. He immediately got up and hurriedly returned to the princess's mansion, intending to persuade his mother and elder brother.

Seeing Xue Chongjian go out, Liu Youqiu turned out from the back hall: "Your Highness."

Li Longji nodded and said, "This matter is really the consequence of Chongyin angering his aunt. His aunt's temperament has not been pleased to disobey recently. Even Zhang Shimao can only follow her in front of her, let alone her parents and children?"

Liu Youqiu said carefully: "The princess in Zhenguo asked the princess to enter the court, which may mean training, but the princess has other interests. Therefore, the mother and son have a different relationship?"

Li Longji nodded again, thinking: "Maybe that's true. My aunt has been doing everything well for the past six months, and everything goes well in the court. Even Zhang Shimao had some differences with her in the court. After going to court, she would hurry to apologize, let alone Chongyin's incident!"

Liu Youqiu also said: "The princess of Zhenguo has always loved the prince and valued him very much. He was disobedient by the prince in such a major event. He was furious and threw people into a remote place."

Li Longji nodded: "This is the case. I will persuade you. If it fails, I will follow my aunt's intention. It's not a big deal. At most, Chongyin will suffer. I think my aunt doesn't have the heart to let him suffer more. Even if I leave it to Guangzhou, I will be transferred back to Chang'an in a short time. How can I compare to the prosperity and wealth of Chang'an City in the outside world?"

"What Your Highness said is that the prince and the eldest princess are mother and son after all."
