The Path of the Pharmacist's Favorite Concubine

Chapter 317 Brothers Narrative
Huilan brewed some wine and played on the Zhuangzi. Anyway, she had nothing to do. She just played around on a whim. She hadn’t felt so relaxed in many years, and the children were not around. Finally, she had plenty of time to idle. I don't want to deal with the commotion outside.

Before leaving, Li Chengze told her, "Don't worry about how your sons decide, just live your life, don't worry so much, there will always be me, you can't be with your son for the rest of your life, we should be together until we grow old, husband and wife. You have to learn to let go.”

Huilan thought that what he said was right. She was indeed a little tired these years. Even with a nanny, four children were not as simple as eating, drinking, and being served. She was almost occupied by the children all the time. She still has a daughter to help her, and she has to manage the harem to take care of her sister-in-law and uncle. She has already used all her energy.

Someone in the court proposed to establish a prince, but many people opposed it, thinking that the emperor was in the prime of life, and it was unnecessary to establish a prince too early.

The voices were uneven, everyone expressed their own opinions, and each had his own little brother. Li Chengze failed the first round of probing, and the intricate power relations in the court were much deeper than he thought.

The Li family of the Li sisters who were killed back then also stood on Li Yi's side, after all, there must be resentment in their hearts.

When Li Yi reached his age, he was about to start choosing relatives, but someone in the court mentioned this matter, with the intention of twisting his way to the top.

The Li family wants to marry the Qian family or Li Yi, mainly because they want to marry Li Yi, and want to marry their daughter to Li Yi. After all, he is the eldest son, and the Qian family is also a noble family who has been an official for generations. My lord, there is always a way out, and the future is bright.

Li Lie and the others have also reached their age. They were all born in almost one year, so it's time to choose a relative.

Instead, he flushed out Prince Li's booklet, and Li Chengze lost his temper in the study.

The third prince came to the study to discuss matters, and saw a pile of debris on the ground, and gave Chang Ji a wink to clean it up.

"Your Majesty, haven't your siblings come back yet? Are you thinking about your wife?"

He laughed and teased, and he was able to chatter a few words when the brotherhood was good.

Li Chengze waved his hands and sat down, Chang Ji served tea again.

"Oh, let Lan'er go to Zhuangzi to escape the summer heat. In the past few years, she has given birth to children one after another. She has suffered a lot, and she has worked hard. Let her idle for a while and rest. Another thing is that I want to tidy up the harem, and some people can't sit still gone."

The third prince smiled, "Your majesty, don't blame me as an older brother for talking about you. You are too anxious about this matter. I am also very optimistic about my brother. He is indeed very good, but he is still a bit young."

"When I became the crown prince, I was not a brother yet."

Li Chengze was a little unconvinced, my son is really outstanding.

The third prince gave him a white look, "One moment and another moment. But it doesn't matter, you can take it easy. What about the Li family's affairs, his family wants to get married with his eldest nephew and become a princess."

"What princess, I don't intend to be in a hurry to become king, but everyone is in a hurry."

"It's not that you haven't experienced it. It's not surprising, but can you do it if your siblings don't come back to take charge of the overall situation?"

The third prince has a good opinion of Huilan. He has always been grateful to her for curing his eldest brother's body, and he is also very optimistic about her brother. He is even more outstanding and intelligent than the emperor back then.

Li Chengze waved his hand, "Let her rest, she doesn't like fighting for power and gain, she doesn't approve of her son fighting for that position, but she has to fight for it, the children have me, don't let her participate, she has done enough , I'm sorry for the Qian family."

"It's a fact, no matter what, the younger siblings have really worked hard these years, and it's good to take a break. After all, it's a man's own business, and the younger siblings really shouldn't be involved. There will be a draft next year. How about choosing a marriage for a few boys?"

"I want to choose, third brother, please help me think about which family to choose for these boys. This time I won't let Lan'er interfere, so as not to say that she is uneasy and kind."

"That's right, it's useless for those who don't know how to be grateful. Show me the list, and I'll give you some advice. I'm thinking about the fourth and fifth sons who are honest and responsible, and the mother clan doesn't matter. Power, should choose a tall and sensible girl to give some support.

The second child wants to choose a daughter-in-law who has ideas and can handle things, but the second child is weak and can't handle things.Choose a capable and wise woman like your siblings. "

Li Chengze sneered, "My dear brother, do you think such a good girl can fall in love with my useless son? Go blind."

Rolling his eyes in disdain, he knew what his son was like.

The third prince couldn't help laughing, "Then you have to choose. After all, if you are a prince, you can also be a prince in the future. It is still useful to support the lintel."

"Hey! Having more children is a debt."

Li Chengze covered his face with a look of irritability.

"Hahaha, don't worry about it. I'm still upset. My third son is old enough and is about to get married. I've taken a fancy to the girl from the Ma family. Can you tell me something?"

"Ma's girl, which one?"

Li Chengze doesn't remember the younger generation anymore, they have all grown up.

"Old man Ma's granddaughter, I think it's pretty good, I want to give it to my son, my son is very surly, marry him a strong and capable person, who can control him. Seriously speaking, Ma's upbringing is still okay, although we That former empress is a bit extreme, but she is better than the Zhou family, brother, I beg you for a while, will you make it?"

The third prince took a fancy to the girl from the Ma family and wanted to marry his third son, but he had to ask the emperor for permission. The first queen was a thorn in his heart, and the brothers actually knew it.

"Come in to have a look at the draft, and give it to your nephew if it suits you. If you don't have a good character, then you can't do it. If you marry another poisonous woman and go home, you will die."

Li Chengze has a good relationship with the eldest brother and the third brother, and they are willing to let it go, but the prerequisite is that the girl from the Ma family must be attractive to him.

"Okay, can the siblings show it?"

"Well, she will host the draft, and I will decide who will be selected."

"Okay, then I'm relieved."

Seeing that he agreed, the third prince was also very happy.

The brothers started talking about other things, and when it came to the Northwest, Li Chengze sighed, "Brother has to persist for a few more years, you have seen the Li family, it can't be used."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the eldest brother said he is willing to stay in the northwest, so he is at ease."

"I know that my elder brother has worked very hard these years, and the northwest is bitterly cold. Thanks to my elder brother's support and guarding the northwest for me, I have no one in my hands, so I can't replace him. Li Tong went to the south. General Geng is old and has rheumatism all over his body." I can't hold on to my illness, hey!"

"Your Majesty, the Li family has to guard against it."

The third prince also understands the hard work and embarrassment of the emperor, the generals are not so easy to choose, especially the generals guarding one side, they are irreplaceable.

"Yeah, I really want to check him out, but the Li family army has a lot of generals and forces, and their connections are complicated. No one can replace him, so I have to keep the Li family."

Li Chengze's face was as dark as ink, which is not very good-looking. Civil servants are easy to kill, but generals should be cautious. After death, no one will fight to restrain the border.
