Chapter 236 Elderly Men's Self-Esteem
Just when the rumors that the third prince would be the king spread across the streets and alleys, two fast horses passed through the north gate of the capital and galloped straight towards the imperial palace.

Pedestrians on the road dodged one after another, and after the two fast horses left, they were all whispering to each other, guessing whether it was eight hundred li or not.

Today is the day when the fourth prince, Li Ze, enters the palace to serve Emperor Qi Cheng. As His Royal Highness, the prince who has been pampered since he was a child, Li Ze is really tired after taking care of his father these days.

Except when he would leave the dragon bed when eating, he would stay on the chair in front of the dragon bed at other times, holding the book of war in one hand, and after a few glances, he would look up in the direction of the dragon bed to see if his father wanted to drink water , Do you want to give Gong and so on.

At noon, he had just fed his father lunch, and after serving his father, he finally saw his father began to fall asleep, so he tiptoed out of the inner hall.

After arriving at the Ming Room, Li Ze wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead, sat on the chair tiredly, poured himself three cups of tea, and drank one cup after another.

In his father's Ming Palace, it was not even easy for Li Ze to order the palace servants to serve him. He was really afraid that if someone with a heart saw him, rumors would spread in the capital the next day that he was acting like a servant.

He didn't dare to take a lunch break, so he could only close his eyes and rest his mind while his father was taking a nap, and keep his ears up all the time, for fear that he would miss any movement in the inner hall. Under the extremely tense spirit, he had a severe headache.

I don't know how long it took before there was a slight sound of footsteps in my ears, and Li Ze opened his eyes in a jerk. When he saw the person coming, he was stunned and asked in a low voice, "Third brother, why are you here?" gone?"

Seeing him sitting outside, Li Chong's voice was extremely low, and he knew in his heart that his father should be taking a lunch break so that he could take a break from his busy schedule.

Li Chong also sat down, his voice was also very low, "I took a nap at noon, and I had a nightmare, and I was worried, so I came to the palace to see Father, so I can feel at ease."

He looks like a filial son, and his words are sincere, so no one can doubt his filial piety.

But Li Ze sneered, and even his chaotic mind became clearer. He looked at the third brother vigilantly, fearing that he would come here suddenly and make trouble.

But he couldn't stop Li Chong from visiting his father, otherwise if the news of today spread, it would mean that he disrespected his elder brother and harbored evil intentions.

Because he couldn't stop him and didn't want to invite him in, Li Ze pursed his lips tightly and kept silent.

Li Chong was so happy, he really didn't want to leave after visiting so soon, he came here for some other purpose.

So Li Chong asked logically: "Father, did you take a nap?"

Seeing Li Ze nodding, he felt happy in his heart, let's take a nap.

So he said very considerately, "Since father is taking a nap, I don't want to go in and wake him up. When father wakes up, I will visit father before leaving."

Li Ze was instinctively displeased. Did the third brother insist on not leaving?
Li Ze saw that he really sat down to drink tea with a stern face, he was angry, and his face was slightly unwell.

Li Chongquan pretended not to see it, and still sat and tasted tea leisurely and patiently.

After more than an hour, there was movement in the inner hall, Li Ze and Li Chong got up at the same time, and rushed to the inner hall together, and sure enough, they saw their father who was sleeping on the dragon bed woke up.

Seeing that Li Chong was also there, Emperor Qi Cheng looked indifferent, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm thirsty."

Li Ze immediately went to the table next to him, touched the teapot, saw that it was slightly warm, poured a cup of tea and walked back, only to see that his father had already sat up with the help of Li Chong.

Li Ze walked over with no change in expression, and carefully handed the teacup to Emperor Qi Cheng. After he finished drinking the tea, he took the cup again and asked with concern, "Father, do you want more?"

Seeing his father shaking his head slightly, Li Zecai put the cup away.

Li Ze looked at Li Chong, and signaled him to leave as soon as possible after seeing his father.

Li Chongdang couldn't see it, instead he squatted down and asked with concern: "Father, do you want to show respect?"

Emperor Qi Cheng tightened his fingers tucked into his sleeves, and replied in a deep voice: "Okay."

Li Ze didn't even have a chance to speak, so Li Chong helped Emperor Qi Cheng up and walked towards the clean room.

Li Ze's complexion turned ugly in an instant. Looking at Li Chong's back, he thought to himself, Third brother is not satisfied, and intends to make the sickness his own business?

Not to be outdone, Li Ze also followed quickly, supporting the other side, and Qi Chengdi was led by the two of them to the clean room.

As in the previous days, Li Chong helped Emperor Qi Cheng take off his trousers very enthusiastically, his eyes flicked across his lifeline, and he turned around without any abnormality, "Father, please show your respect."

The two who turned their backs to Emperor Qi Cheng didn't see it. At this moment, Emperor Qi Cheng's face twisted, and there was an unignorable anger on his face, and the coldness in his eyes.

At the beginning, he enjoyed the care of his sons. When he was old and sick, it was undoubtedly a relief to have his sons at his bedside.

At that moment, Emperor Qi Cheng felt the long-lost father-son relationship, especially the third son who was the first to do it himself, and he was even more satisfied. He also did it himself for the fourth and second sons later, and Emperor Qi Cheng was not as moved as he was for the third son.

But Emperor Qi Cheng himself didn't expect that the youngest was so filial that he wanted to help him out!

Even though he said no, the third child didn't give up, and still carried him to the clean room and helped him drag his pants.

He will never forget the moment of astonishment and contempt that the third child saw when he saw his lifeblood. Although it disappeared soon, it still deeply hurt his heart.

If an eunuch served him, he would never be so sensitive, because an eunuch does not have that thing, so even if he is old and weak, he is still very proud in front of the eunuch.

But in front of his young and strong son, his shortcomings were exposed, and he was reminded everywhere that he was getting old, and even his son could despise him.

He was extremely annoyed, and because it was too difficult to speak out, he couldn't reprimand his son, so he could only suppress his anger in his heart.

What he didn't expect was that after the third child started serving him, the second child and the fourth child followed suit. Although the expressions of the second child and the fourth child were the same, Emperor Qi Cheng felt that they were laughing at him from the bottom of their hearts.

Because of this, Emperor Qi Cheng began to drive them back so that they would not have to wait for illnesses, since there were many people in the palace anyway.

As a result, none of the sons agreed, and they still came to the Ming Palace on time every day.

In order not to let himself be humiliated, Emperor Qi Cheng drank as little water as he could during the day, but there was a charcoal basin burning in the hall, and his mouth became very dry after staying for a long time, so the number of times Emperor Qi Cheng went to clean the room did not decrease too much.

Hearing the drizzling sound in his ear disappear, this time Li Ze quickly turned around and knelt down to help Emperor Qi Cheng put on his pants.

Emperor Qi Cheng had already recovered his indifferent expression, and the two helped him to sit back on the dragon bed.

After lying down for a while, Eunuch Xi hurried in to report, "Your Majesty, Sangong and all the ministers are asking to see you."

Emperor Qi Cheng's heart trembled, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Xuan!"

Li Chong, who was at the side, twitched the corners of his lips cryptically.

　This is probably another manifestation of not being able to say that men are not good?
