Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 141 Princess Pearl
"Hey……"

Emperor Ganwu let out a long sigh, feeling a little depressed.

Even though Li Mingzhu has not been favored by him all these years, she is his own daughter after all, how could she be willing to send her for a marriage?

Especially when the marriage partner was a person about his age, it made him feel very uncomfortable.

And, how do you tell your daughter about this?
How to tell Concubine Lan?

How to tell Li Changfeng?

How can he be able to open his mouth when he is so dignified that he has even reached the point of sending off his relatives to negotiate a peace?
Seeing Emperor Qianwu sigh, Gao Dali couldn't help but secretly sighed, but didn't say anything.

In his view, this is the only option.

……

As usual, Li Changfeng slept until mid-morning before waking up. After flirting with Bingbing and Xiaotong, he slowly got up and had lunch.

After that, he inspected the business situation of each store as usual, and after hearing the topics discussed by the diners in the beer and barbecue city, he couldn't help but stop and listen.

"Those southern barbarians are too bold. They dared to invade me. They really want to die!"

"You can do it. Now that our national policy is to recuperate, the tax burden is extremely low, and the court has no money to fight. What can we do with them?"

"Speaking of this, it makes people angry. It's really shameful that I will send off relatives and negotiate with the previous court like that!"

"Isn't it? It's just that there's nothing you can do to be ashamed. Although His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince got a lottery ticket a while ago, earned a lot of silver for the treasury, and stole the house of the Second Prince Li Shou, it's still not enough to fight a national war." of."

"That's right. The sixth prince Li Ji proposed to let the thirteenth princess Li Mingzhu get married. The courtiers agreed acquiescently, and His Majesty did not object. I am afraid that the matter of sending the thirteenth princess Li Mingzhu to marry is a certainty."

"It's a pity that the thirteenth princess is going to marry a bad old man at the age of eighteen. It's really embarrassing!"

……

At this moment, Li Changfeng's face changed suddenly, and he quickly walked forward and asked, "Where did you get this news? Is it true?"

Seeing that it was Li Changfeng, the diners quickly knelt down to pay respects.

"See you, little man..."

In the middle of speaking, Li Changfeng interrupted: "There is no need to kneel down, please answer the prince's question!"

Although he came through a soul, he has no relationship with his former concubine mother and younger sister, and even after he came to the capital, he never went to see them.

But no matter what, she was her own younger sister, so she couldn't turn a blind eye to this kind of thing.

Moreover, Li Changfeng learned from his predecessor's memory that his predecessor loved his younger sister to the core, and his younger sister was also extremely attached to him since he was a child. This memory also affected him to some extent.

On the other hand, what he hates the most when he comes from the soul of the earth is that his fate is controlled by others and his marriage is arranged by others.

Although it is a feudal society now, Emperor Qianwu has absolute authority, but Li Changfeng doesn't care.

He would never allow this kind of thing to happen to his relatives.

Seeing that Li Changfeng didn't know about it, the diners said, "Your Highness, Xiaomin also heard about it from others. It must have come from the ministers of the court. No one should dare to talk nonsense about such things."

Li Changfeng didn't say much, and told the people around him with a gloomy expression, "Get the car ready and go to the palace!"

At this moment, Li Changfeng was already furious in his heart.

Li Ji, I originally planned to let you go, but if you insist on finding death yourself, then don't blame the prince for being cruel!
You wait for me, prince, and see how I can kill you step by step!
Li Changfeng wished he could rush over and beat Li Ji up now, but he still kept his head and planned to go to the palace first.

You have to stop this matter before Emperor Qianwu makes the decree, otherwise once the imperial decree is issued and announced to the world, it will be very difficult to stop it, or you will have to completely turn against Emperor Qianwu.

Li Changfeng immediately walked out of the beer and barbecue city, boarded the carriage and went straight to the palace.

Because Emperor Qianwu ordered Li Changfeng to enter the palace directly without a notification, the palace guards did not stop him.

After entering the palace, Li Changfeng did not immediately go to Emperor Qianwu, but went to the palace where Concubine Lan and her younger sister Li Mingzhu lived.

He planned to appease Concubine Lan and Li Mingzhu first, and then go to Emperor Ganwu.

When he came to Jingren Palace, Li Changfeng learned from the little eunuch on duty that Concubine Lan was not there, and Li Mingzhu was resting in the side hall.

When he came outside the side hall, he heard a low cry and couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

Although the cry was low, it was heart-piercing, like a cuckoo crying blood. Li Changfeng couldn't help feeling sad and ashamed at the same time.

It has been a long time since I returned to Beijing, and I have entered the palace many times, but I have never visited Concubine Lan and this younger sister.

From this point of view, he is not a qualified Ninth Brother, and I am somewhat sorry for Li Mingzhu.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Changfeng sighed secretly, and pushed open the door of the side hall. Li Mingzhu inside was startled by him, and quickly turned around and asked, "Who are you?!"

Seeing the younger sister in front of him, even Li Changfeng, who has seen countless beauties, couldn't help being a little surprised.

I saw Li Mingzhu with a high head of black silk, emerald green jade hairpins inserted obliquely at the temples, a green shirt and a pleated skirt underneath, her face was like a peach blossom and her eyebrows were as curved as a willow, she was really a stunning beauty.

With such an appearance, it was completely different from the little slug that chased after his butt all day in the memory of his predecessor.

However, thinking that the two hadn't seen each other for ten years, and that Li Mingzhu was only eight years old back then, Li Changfeng felt relieved, and then had to sigh with emotion for the eighteenth year of the female college.

It's just that Li Mingzhu's eyes are red at this time, and her pretty face is full of tears. She looks so pitiful, which makes Li Changfeng feel a little distressed.

Seeing that she didn't recognize him, Li Changfeng sighed softly and said, "Mingzhu, I'm your ninth brother."

That's right, it was Brother Jiu, not Brother Jiuhuang.

This is the difference.

Only Li Mingzhu, who has a mother and a compatriot, is qualified to call him Ninth Brother, not the cold and ruthless Nine Emperor Brother.

Li Mingzhu froze for a moment, then looked Li Changfeng up and down, his eyes gradually showing surprise: "Are you really Brother Ninth?"

Li Changfeng tried his best to show the gentlest smile: "Yes, don't you remember me?"

Li Mingzhu was startled, and then felt that the appearance of the person in front of her eyes and the appearance of her dearest Brother Ninth in her memory gradually overlapped.

It seems... It's really Brother Nine!

In the palace, no one dared to pretend to be a prince.

"Ninth Brother!"

Surprised and delighted, Li Mingzhu called softly, took two steps towards Li Changfeng, but stopped again, with a hint of strangeness and bewilderment in her eyes besides surprise.

Brother Jiu has been back to the capital for so long, why didn't he come to visit me?

It's fine if you don't come to visit me, why doesn't even the concubine mother come to visit?
Could it be that after ten years of separation, brother Jiu no longer cares about the relationship between mother and child, brotherhood?
Or in other words, because the mother and concubine are former princesses, brother Jiu can distance himself from them and draw a clear line for his own future?
If this is the case, is the current Ninth Brother or the previous Ninth Brother?

For a while, Li Mingzhu was at a loss.

Li Changfeng can naturally understand Li Mingzhu's mentality. If it were him, a relative whom he hadn't seen in ten years came to the capital but never visited him and his mother, and he would feel disappointed and suspicious.

With a feeling of guilt, Li Changfeng sighed secretly, tried to show the gentlest and most sincere smile and said: "Mingzhu, I'm sorry, Brother Nine also wanted to come to see you soon, but after returning to Beijing, Brother Nine was ordered to take care of you." Flooding in Shangzhou, and later engaged in welfare lottery, secretly training artillery battalions, and doing business in the capital to help the emperor make money, I really can’t get away from it!”

Li Changfeng knew that the reasons he made up had many loopholes, they were not convincing at all, and it was difficult to convince others.

But now, he has no other choice but to say so.

Fortunately, Li Mingzhu lived in the deep palace for a long time, with a simple mind, and was intimidated by Emperor Qianwu's majesty, thinking that all this was Li Changfeng's involuntary, so he believed this set of arguments.

"Ninth Brother!"

Thinking of how much she missed Li Changfeng all these years, and the heart-breaking news she received today, Li Mingzhu let out a sad cry, tears streaming down her face.

Li Changfeng was also a little emotional, and said with a distressed face: "Mingzhu, I have made you wronged!"

Seeing Li Changfeng like this, Li Mingzhu couldn't hold back anymore, she jumped into Li Changfeng's arms, hugged him almost with all her strength, and burst into tears: "Ninth Brother! Mingzhu misses you so much!"

"It's been ten years, Mingzhu hasn't missed you for a single day, and my concubine is worried every day about whether you are doing well in remote places like Baishi City!"

"Since we learned that you returned to Beijing, my concubine and I have been standing at the gate of the palace every day, hoping that you will appear in front of us in the next moment, but why don't you come to see us?"

"Concubine Mu is crying every day, and Mingzhu has no choice but to cry with Concubine Mu. We really miss you!"

Hearing Li Mingzhu's heart-piercing cry, Li Changfeng's eyes turned red and he felt even more guilty.

Although he is not Li Mingzhu's real ninth brother, nor Lan Fei's real son, they put all their affection on him without reservation.

At this moment, Li Changfeng strengthened his belief in protecting his sister and Concubine Lan.

He patted Li Mingzhu's back lightly, and comforted him in a low voice: "I'm sorry, it's all Brother Nine's fault. Brother Nine will visit you often in the future."
