Chapter 167 Xi Feng returns to China
Chapter 167 Xi Feng returns to China
Li Xifeng is Li Jingyu's only son. Fortunately, this era is no longer limited to men being required to take over the throne, otherwise the nobles would support Li Xifeng without any suspense. But even so, there are still many old guys who can't turn this way and still stubbornly believe that Li Xifeng should be established as the crown prince, rather than the eldest princess Li Xiwen.
In previous historical dynasties, the eldest princesses were usually granted to the emperor's sister or sister, but Taizu always liked to be unexpected. He set up his first daughter as the eldest princess and set up this rule, requiring all descendants to follow it. It also specifically stipulated that when there was no room for choice, the eldest princess among the emperor's daughters had the regent, and all other princesses did not have this power. The majesty of the founding emperor ensured that most of his regulations were implemented well, but this article was opposed by the ministers from the beginning, and even caused the famous ban incident. There were as many as hundreds of ministers and nobles who died in the incident.
After the ban incident, this regulation was forced to be implemented. By the time of the third emperor, he was a firm supporter of this strange rule. His eldest daughter was enthroned as the eldest princess and had the power to supervise the state. Even from the third emperor, the eldest princess received education that was no different from that of the crown prince. When the fifth emperor passed away, because the emperor had no son, the eldest princess had to be regent. A few months later, he found another prince of the same clan to inherit the throne.
After the constitution was established, the situation changed again. The Li family members were not prosperous, and there was a queen in the foreign royal family. Considering the special status of the eldest princess, some elders suggested that the eldest princess could take over the throne when she performed well during the regent period, which caused another storm. However, the decrease in the importance of the throne after constitutionalization gave such remarks good protection, and in the end the appearance of the eldest princess Li Ruying ended all the debate.
However, Empress Li Ruying also paid a heavy price for her unmarried throne. She dedicated her life to the empire, and people respectfully called her the Virgin Empress in order to commemorate her. Her nephew finally took over her throne. This is the source of the current genealogy of Li Jingwen and his family tree and the source of disputes.
After Li Jingyu failed to compete for the throne, she sent her only child abroad. I don’t know what kind of mentality she had. What’s different from Li Xifeng is that she received traditional crown prince education from the beginning and was trained as the heir to the throne, but because of her identity as a woman has never been certified by the crown prince, this is a regret.
Now, Li Xifeng is going back to China again. At this delicate moment of atmosphere, it is easy for people to have unnecessary imagination. For the nobles, the emperor who did not receive traditional education is unacceptable. This is very unfavorable to Li Xifeng, but his gender is extra points, so it is difficult to determine the final result. Just as Li Jingwen's status cannot be shaken, Li Xifeng is also the best candidate to replace Li Xiwen in the ideas of some diehards.
The timing of Li Xifeng's trip abroad is very delicate, but the timing of returning home is even more delicate. It is hard for Liu Jinpeng to imagine that King Ruyang, who is like Maitreya Buddha, has such a scheming. Perhaps all kinds of dog-headed military advisors are indispensable around them. According to the information of the Royal Affairs Administration and the Royal Investigation Bureau, Li Xifeng has traveled around the world, mainly studying economy and history, and minoring in psychology and naturalism.
Liu Jinpeng has obtained some photos, which are archived by the Royal Bureau of Investigation. Judging from the photos, Li Xifeng has a good face like all the children of the Li family, but there seems to be little smile on his face, which is completely different from his father. The youth is a comment on the archives. Of course, Liu Jinpeng is not qualified to see this archive. This is all Li Xiwen's revelation.
During his time at school, Li Xifeng won many honors and his academic performance has always maintained a middle-to-high level. What is rare is that this man not only hides his identity but also works and makes money by himself. He has no habit of a playboy at all. No one knew that this serious handsome guy was a member of the royal family of the Oriental Empire. He never talked about his family with his classmates. With his frugality, many classmates mistakenly thought that his family was not good.
Judging from these information, this royal child seems to be very self-disciplined, and these situations obviously add points to the noble family. However, Li Xiwen doesn't care much about the throne. Moreover, she hasn't seen this cousin for many years. Even if she meets, it's really boring. Liu Jinpeng is also used to looking for information to analyze it. He actually doesn't want Li Xiwen to be an empress, but this must be because he doesn't want to give up, rather than being driven out.
The passenger ship Li Xifeng was on will arrive at Tianjing Port on the 22nd. Li Xiwen was invited to pick up the boat at the port. Since they were younger generations, no one from their generation came forward except Li Jingyu. Since Li Xiwen has gone, Liu Jinpeng must not let her go alone, and he has to accompany her. Who knew that Li Xinran actually came to join in the fun, and she routinely pulled Li Xiwen to talk about those cliches.
Li Xinran always talks about that, and Li Xiwen is tired of hearing it. It’s just that Liu Jinpeng is fickle, and he is not clear about who he is not a lifelong companion. This woman actually compared her husband Lu Junyang to Liu Jinpeng and said, “Old Lu has no mood, but it has one advantage, that is, he is dedicated. Look, I’ve been struggling outside for so many years, but he has never thought about finding a lover, and he is also focused on waiting for me to change my mind. It’s not easy! Can Liu Jinpeng do it?”
Li Xiwen was really speechless and was very irritated. She simply gave up and said, "I will recognize him in my life. Aunt, don't say bad things about him. No matter how fickle he is, as long as he still loves me, I will not change my mind." Li Xinran was shocked by this. Li Xiwen continued, "Aunt, Jinpeng has done so much for you, why do you still say bad things about him? I'm not happy that you are like this."
Li Xinran said disappointedly: "He helped me recognize myself, but he also got benefits." I won't mention the embarrassment of being seen by the younger generation. It's too embarrassing to say it. Li Xinran continued to say unreasonably, "He has known my plan for a long time, but he has to make such arrangements. Can I still be grateful to him? Wenwen, no matter what, my aunt still has to plan for you. That guy is too thoughtful and you can't play with him."
Li Xiwen didn't want to talk about this anymore. Seeing that Li Jingyu's family was hiding under the sunshade, she couldn't help but whisper: "Aunt, when did you make up with your uncle? I heard that you still want a child, is it true?"
Li Xinran finally felt embarrassed, smiled and slapped Li Xiwen and said, "You kid, you are joking about your aunt. Lao Lu and I are not young anymore, probably can't get pregnant. If it really doesn't work, just adopt one." The implication is still being tried, and Li Xiwen was also very happy. Her aunt finally returned to her normal family life. It's all due to her boyfriend.
Seeing that the topic had been disconnected, the skills learned from Liu Jinpeng were quite effective. Li Xiwen continued with a smile: "Aunt, do you know what Xi Feng is going on this time back to China? I think the timing is very delicate. My uncle just was punished by his father and he returned to China. Do you have any other intentions? As far as I know, Xi Feng's academic performance seems to have not been completed yet."
Li Xinran curled her lips disdainfully and said, "As long as the emperor has not made a big mistake that is unforgivable, you don't make any mistakes. That thing is definitely not their turn to worry about." Having said that, Li Xinran still reminded, "I heard that Li Xifeng has to go to school for a while and will graduate in the last semester. He took a leave this time to come back. But I don't know whether he took the initiative to come back or the fat man asked him to come back."
Li Xinran has a very ordinary relationship with everyone in the royal family. In addition to her brother Li Jingwen, she is also particularly close to Li Xiwen. From this, Li Xinran is also very disgusted with Li Jingyu, who once "overestimated her abilities" and competed for the throne with the emperor's brother. She doesn't even give her a good face. She usually calls her fat behind her back, which is why ordinary people will be shocked and fall off when they hear it.
Whenever Liu Jinpeng saw Li Xinran, he would hide away, so as to avoid hearing bad things from his face. Li Xiwen also apologized to his aunt for his aunt. What else could Liu Jinpeng say? It doesn't matter. However, looking at the aunt and nephew standing together, Liu Jinpeng couldn't help but think of that night when he was seduced. Li Xinran's body was still a little plump than Li Xiwen. Well, Liu Jinpeng found that his thoughts were getting more and more evil, so he quickly stopped to consider other issues.
After the passenger ship Li Xifeng was on docked, Li Jingyu and his family also ran out of the shadow. When Li Xifeng pulled the box and walked out of the boat board passage, Li Jingyu immediately met. Liu Jinpeng, Li Xiwen and Li Xinran followed each other, maintaining a polite distance. After the father and son exchanged greetings for a while, Li Xifeng asked his mother again before he had time to pay attention to his cousin behind.
However, according to seniority, Li Xifeng would first say hello to Li Xinran, and Liu Jinpeng took the opportunity to observe the character. Judging from his appearance, his clothes were neatly clean, his hair was meticulous, his nails were neatly cut, his movements were powerful but polite, and his expression was calm. He was indeed a very interesting person. He just saw him talking to Li Jingyu, and he seemed very respectful, not like the father and son feeling at all. It seemed like his subordinates reported to his leader, and it seemed that his father and son had some problems with his relationship. (To be continued.
