All of this, Li Hong Ming naturally was also very about. He wasnât like Noble Consort Su, having deep feelings towards Li Hong Yuan. Towards Li Hong Yuan, he ultimately carried doubt. But, Min Xiang, as the person involved, all was unable to say anything substantial, so his suspicions could only be pressed in his heart. If said out loud, not only will it not affect Li Hong Yuan at all, it might even make him suffer a loss. It was true that Min Xiang was his full-blooded younger sister, but a younger sister that didnât even have the slightest marriage value, it was also just that.
Li Hong Yuan walked closer, giving his greetings. He knew what the atmosphere was like right now, yet on the inside, he was completely unconcerned. When it comes to sorting out Min Xiang, once was enough. At times when she knows her place, who would still have the mind to pay attention to her. At least, how she will be in the future, completely wasnât within the scope of Li Hong Yuanâs considerations. Whether she was alive or dead, and whether she was well or not, was all the same to him.
Princess Min Xiang got up and greeted him, very properly and very âintimatelyâ calling out sixth brother.
Li Hong Yuan hooked his lips into a faint smile, âMin Xiang right now is becoming increasingly beautiful.â
Actually, the times Li Hong Yuan smiled was very few. Suddenly seeing one, donât know how many people would get distracted by it. Just like now, even the mother was seemingly all captivated by it. However, after Noble Consort Su returned to her senses, she subconsciously looked towards Le Cheng Emperor. Even she was able to notice the similarities between this smile and the one in her memories, so how could he not know. As expected, Le Cheng Emperor was absent-mindedly staring at his own sonâs face. Regardless of who, no one would feel he was looking at his son.
Li Hong Ming similarly observed it all in, his complexion somewhat turning pale, unconsciously clenching his fist.
Towards Imperial Noble Consort, he actually had a bit of an impression of, just this impression wasnât that deep. Seemingly, she was just a woman that was very beautiful when she smiled, and seemingly once gently patted his head before. The rest, he didnât have any impression of at all. Just, his consort mother said, sixth brother looked very much like her, especially when he was younger, practically as if craved from the same mold. But, in the end, he was still a boy, and as he grew with age, his masculine characteristic became increasingly obvious, and the degree of similarity also decreased. However, judging from imperial fatherâs expression, he just knew, imperial father was forever unable to forget in his heart. All say, the son relied on the motherâs honor. Even if consort mother very firmly told him, imperial father wonât have the throne given to old six, he still was very much worried inside. Having the throne set aside for oneâs favorite son, throughout history, this kind of emperor, were there any less of?
Towards their brilliant and varied expressions, Li Hong Yuan was like as if he completely didnât notice, âConsort mother, Min Xiang has come of age already, has her fuma been decided on yet?â
Li Hong Yuanâs words had everyone all pulled back to reality.
Noble Consort Su blinked, seemingly just realizing what Li Hong Yuan said. She raised a smile, âFor the most part already decided. Probably this time, after returning from the summer holiday, can completely settle it.â
âThe person consort mother chose presumably is very excellent. However, all things have a contingency, so how things will be like in the future, no one can be certain. Min Xiang, if in the future, he lets you down, donât hesitate to tell sixth brother. Sixth brother will help you sort him out.â
âMany thanks sixth brother.â Princess Min Xiang smilingly replied, her face carrying a trace of bashfulness.
Le Cheng Emperor put away the sorrowful look on his face, coldly snorting, âIf you sort the person out, will the person still be able to live? You want to let your younger sister become a widow?â
âWhat are you saying your Majesty, saying it like as if Yuanâer is extremely brutal. Even if Yuanâerâs temper is bit bad, he still has never easily taken anyoneâs life before. Min Xiangâs future husband will be his younger brother-in-law. Even if Yuanâer does something, he will certainly still have propriety. Yuanâer was saying out of his care towards his younger sister, so you canât just randomly twist it.â Noble Consort Su said with a smile.
âThen, imperial father can just treat it as this son having too much time on oneâs hand, meddling in other peopleâs business. Then again, Min Xiang still has her own older brother, where would there be the need for this son?â Li Hong Yuan unconcernedly lifted the hem of his gown and sat down to the side.
âBastardâââ-â Le Cheng Emperor lifted the dessert saucer by his hand and just threw it over.
Li Hong Yuan tilted his head, and that saucer just landed on the ground, smashing into pieces. The few dessert pieces on the saucer scattered in all direction.
âSaying something this suffocating to the heart, your consort mother raised you for nothing.â
Li Hong Yuan didnât even give him a single glance.
Le Cheng Emperor was unbearably angered. In contrast, Noble Consort Su was laughing to the side with her mouth covered, âRaisin such a white-eyed wolf, beloved consort, youâre still able to laugh? If it was this emperor, certainly wouldâve already whipped him to death.â
âLook at what your Majesty is saying, this consort canât bear to do that. Besides, Yuanâer was retorting you and not retorting this consort. What exactly Yuanâer was thinking, would this consort, as the mother, not know? This consort views him as oneâs own son, so Yuanâer naturally views this consort as his birth mother. It was your Majesty that said all those things. And first of all, what his temper is like, itâs not your first day knowing either.â
âSo itâs this emperorâs fault?â Le Cheng Emperor raised his brow with a scowl.
âThis, your Majesty said it yourself, this consort didnât say anything.â Noble Consort Su smilingly looked to him.
Noble Consort Su has followed by Le Cheng Emperorâs side for twenty to thirty years, the extensive pampering never ceasing, and the reason for this definitely wasnât just one-sided. Because she had Le Cheng Emperorâs mood grasped very accurately, thatâs why, when occasionally making a joke, saying some âdisgracefulâ words, she also completely didnât need to worry it would cause Le Cheng Emperor to be displeased. On the contrary, it would even let Le Cheng Emperor experience something heâs unable to experience elsewhere, for instance, the warmth between ordinary married couples.
âWho doesnât know that Min Xiang likes sixth brother the most. I, this third brother, sometimes, even feel jealous. Moreover, sixth brotherâs attitude towards Min Xiang is also obvious to all. We, these brothers and sisters, are all envious. This son sometimes also rather wants sixth brother to help vent oneâs anger. Unfortunately, this son doesnât have that charm.â Li Hong Ming interrupted with a smile.
âYou, as the elder brother, still want your younger brother to help you vent your anger? These words, you feel no shame saying out loud?â Le Cheng Emperor scolded with a smile. Thatâs why, Le Cheng Emperor was the same as the sky of the sixth month, face of a child, indefinitely changing.
âIt canât be helped, sixth brotherâs fame for fighting is too grand. Forcibly suppressing all sides, all isnât a problem. Sometimes, this sonâs mouth would all be dry from talking, yet still wouldnât be as good as just having sixth brotherâs name brought out to use.â Li Hong Ming said as if he was helpless.
Le Cheng Emperorâs smile faded a little, lifting up the teacup and taking a shallow sip, âThis bastard is just one that doesnât care about anything at all, his thug-like reputation rather resounding. What, you even frequently encounter another group of thugs?â
Those who frequently came in contact with thugs, for the most part, can be classified as wastrels who have nothing better to do. Li Hong Yuan can, but if Li Hong Ming dared to do this, he will certainly be ruthlessly skinned alive.
How could Li Hong Ming still not know that heâd said something wrong. Then, meeting with Noble Consort Suâs indifferent gaze, his heart shivered, âHow can that be possible, this son was just seeing that sixth brother is too carefree, and felt a bit envious. This son naturally wishes to have him dragged back to share the burdens with imperial father. Among the brothers, itâs just him thatâs the most idle. Never mind this son, most likely even the younger brothers attending school all want to beat him up.â
Le Cheng Emperor casted him a glance, âLetting him come handle matters, youâre saying to have all the time outside of handling the task used to clean up the mess after him? Just take care of yourself, in this lifetime, heâll just be this way.â
Le Cheng Emperorâs last words perhaps werenât just said for Li Hong Ming to hear.
