Chapter 79 – My Son is The Nine Thousandth (part 19)

Due to how aggressive the crown prince’s party was in contrast to the profound justice High Ranking Imperial Concubine Gui and Prince Qi displayed, Emperor Liang eventually sided with High Ranking Imperial Concubine Gui and Prince Qi in Qian Zhi Liang’s case.
Qian Zhi Liang didn’t matter, but he was Qi Xing’s uncle, so he wanted to give Qi Xing a bit of face.
Moreover, the crown prince’s side showed strength in this matter, which surprised Emperor Liang.

Therefore, Emperor Liang deliberated over the matter and ended up dismissing Qian Zhi Liang from his position and forfeiting his salary.
After half a year, in the name of the empress dowager’s birthday, Emperor Liang quietly reinstated Qian Zhi Liang.

Since Xiao Bao Ling had her counties stripped from her, she had been keeping behind closed doors, tangling with Lu Wen Da.
Lu Wen Da also wanted to have another heir as soon as possible.
Power, of course, was important, but filial piety was the greatest!

But after spending half a year trying, there was nothing.
Lu Wen Da was going crazy! He even wondered if there was something wrong with Xiao Bao Ling’s body.
As a man, he naturally refused to admit that there was a problem with his body, but Xiao Bao Ling was a princess and he did not dare to question her rashly.

Xiao Bao Ling was furious when she heard that Highest Ranking Imperial Concubine Gui’s older brother had his punishment revoked on the empress dowager’s birthday.
She was initially irritable, but staying at home for the past 6 months had made her worse.
The princess’ mansion had secretly disposed of the corpses of 4-5 palace workers.

“I am emperor father’s legitimate daughter, but in his heart, I can’t even compare to Highest Ranking Imperial Concubine Gui’s older brother.
Qian Zhi Liang can have his punishment revoked when he made such a big mistake, but what about me? I just scolded a few sluts! Emperor father has not summoned me once in the past six months.
The banquet rewards have not been given to me! Empress mother and older brother have told me to endure it, but have I not endured enough?” Xiao Bao Ling went crazy in the side courtyard.

Lu Wen Da stood outside the door and watched Xiao Bao Ling go crazy, expression blank.
In fact, he really wanted Xiao Bao Ling to rush to His Majesty and go crazy, but unfortunately she didn’t dare to do that.

Suddenly, Xiao Bao Ling stepped on the fragments of a cup.
She slipped and fell to the ground.
She felt severe pain in her abdomen and felt something flowing out of her lower body.

Lu Wen Da remained expressionless until the maid pointed at Xiao Bao Ling’s lower body and screamed, “Blood, blood!”

Lu Wen Da was shocked.
It shouldn’t…

“Princess Chang Shan had another miscarriage?” Li Su asked, surprised.
Wasn’t this the second one? If this continued, then wouldn’t it be easier for her to have miscarriages in the future? It seemed that Lu Wen Da’s life was not as good as the original timeline.
At least he still had two daughters in the last life.

“Not only that, but the imperial doctor said that Princess Chang Shan has had two miscarriages in a row, hurting her body.
The imperial doctor is afraid that she will not be pregnant again.
After Princess Chang Shan heard the news, she had someone give Lu Wen Da medicine so that he will not be able to let a woman conceive anymore.” When Li Yi Cheng talked about this, there was an amazing light in his eyes!

Li Su was very alert.
“Silly son, what do you want to do? Although Lu Wen Da is not a good person and deserves not to have children, but your mother is thinking about her grandchildren! Don’t do stupid things.”

“Mother, what do you mean? Your son was just thinking that, if Lu Wen Da knows that he can no longer have children, do you think he will jump the wall quickly? It would be good to see if he and Princess Chang Shan fight,” said Li Yi Cheng.

Li Su patted her chest.
“It would be best if you didn’t have these thoughts.
I’m afraid you will take this matter to heart for the next while.”

Li Yi Cheng smiled helplessly, then he hesitated.
“Mother, the twelfth prince wants to visit.
Is that okay?”

“The twelfth prince? Isn’t he a prince? Can a prince leave the palace so easily?” Li Su didn’t quite understand.

“Of course the prince can leave the palace,” Li Yi Cheng said.
The 12th prince was small and nobody paid attention to him before, so nobody was willing to bear this responsibility.
Now, the 12th prince had His Majesty’s attention, so of course he could leave the palace.

“That’s fine then.
The fifteenth of next month is Lu Xi’s birthday.
I plan on having a barbeque in the yard.
If the twelfth prince is interested, then he can come.
I don’t know if your foster father will come that day.
By the way, I quarrelled with your foster father.
Your foster father has been a bit too enthusiastic about Lu Xi recently.
Go back and tell him not to have plans for my daughter anymore.
My Lu Xi will not marry out in the future.
She will only recruit a son-in-law,” Li Su said sternly.

Li Yi Cheng didn’t know how to feel about this.
“Mother, how old is Lu Xi? Aren’t you thinking too far ahead? Besides, foster father probably didn’t mean it like that.
Maybe he just thinks Lu Xi is cute and simply likes Lu Xi.”

“Tch, your foster father has only cared about benefits.
Does he simply like Lu Xi? Hmph.
He invited a wet nurse and a teacher for Lu Xi.
I thought that this was a good thing.
After all, I don’t have enough knowledge, so I don’t want to hinder Lu Xi.
In the end, guess what the wet nurse and the teacher taught Lu Xi?” said Li Su.

“What?” Li Yi Cheng asked.

“I won’t say anything about the Confucian moral injunctions for women1.
That wet nurse taught Lu Xi how to serve people!” Li Su was still a little angry when she thought of it.
“How old is Lu Xi? They want to teach her these things.
Isn’t it ridiculous? I finally drove out the wet nurse and the teacher.
I don’t go to the class at the house anymore.
I teach at home.”

Li Yi Cheng frowned.
“Was there such a thing? I will see foster father later!” He only had one younger sister, Lu Xi.
He would never let anyone use his sister’s lifelong happiness as a ladder for their promotion! If foster father had such an idea, then he must stop it in time.

“Don’t be angry.
I’ve already made it clear to your foster father.
Although your foster father got angry, he finally gave up the idea.
Your foster father still cares about you.” Although Jiang Zhi En was eager for quick success, he still cared about Li Yi Cheng.
Although he was a foster father, what he did was nothing different from an actual father.

Li Yi Cheng also understood this.
“Your son knows.
Your son will tell foster father.” He can be successful in the palace, but he couldn’t do it without foster father’s secret aid.
He was also very grateful to foster father, but he still had his principles.
His mother and Lu Xi were his only bottom line and nobody could touch them.

Who knew what Li Yi Cheng said to Jiang Zhi En, but on Lu Xi’s birthday, the twelfth prince and Jiang Zhi En came.

The Li family’s yard was not very big.
It was also hot.
Li Su asked people to set up an awning.
There were a few long tables underneath full of food, like burgers and sandwiches.
There was a lot of food that Xiao Qi Yu had never seen before.

“Are all of these made by auntie?” Xiao Qi Yu couldn’t help but ask.
What should he do? He really wanted to eat it! When he was young, he was often hungry, so Xiao Qi Yu attached great importance to appetite.

“Yeah! Why?” Li Yi Cheng asked.

“It’s nothing.
I was just thinking that if auntie sells food, then she must have a good business.” Xiao Qi Yu smiled.

“Didn’t I tell you? My mother is also one of the bosses behind Travelling Cloud’s Aunt Chicken,” Li Yi Cheng said with a smile.

“Aunt Chicken, this name…” Xiao Qi Yu thought it was a bit funny, but he knew that Li Yi Cheng was a filial son.
He didn’t dare to criticise his mother’s aesthetics in front of him.

“Mother, Lu Xi! Come and hug older brother!” Li Su just exited the house holding Li Lu Xi’s hand.
Today, Li Lu Xi looked very good.
Li Yi Cheng reached out to hug Li Lu Xi, but Li Lu Xi twisted her body and refused to hug him.

Li Yi Cheng was a little hurt.
“Does Lu Xi dislike older brother? Why don’t you let older brother hold you?”

“Did you not see that she is wearing new clothes today?” Li Su asked angrily.
“Don’t hug her, or the new clothes will get crumpled and not look good.”

Li Yi Cheng smiled.
“Why? Our Lu Xi has always been a fairy.
She looks good all the time.
In your older brother’s eyes, you are the best!”

Li Lu Xi was very comfortable.
She finally looked at his face, smiled, and opened her arms so that Li Yi Cheng could hug her.
He did.

“Yi Cheng, is this your younger sister? She is very cute.” Xiao Qi Yu walked over and smiled.
Then, he bowed his hands to Li Su as a junior.
“Hello, auntie.”

Li Su was a little surprised.
When she saw Xiao Qi Yu’s normal appearance, Li Su smiled politely, but she didn’t know how to address him.
“Uhh…”

“Lord Jiang, let’s not care about formalities today.
Just let all the adults call me Qi Yu,” Xiao Qi Yu said first.

“Sir, does His Majesty know that you have come out today?” Jiang Zhi En asked.

“I told emperor father and emperor father agreed.
Don’t worry!” Xiao Qi Yu still respected Jiang Zhi En.
After all, when he had nothing, Lord Jiang was the first person to show kindness to him.
Whatever motive he had, he didn’t care.
He accepted this kindness.

Li Su rolled her eyes.
“Don’t stand around anymore.
Today is Lu Xi’s birthday banquet.
Shouldn’t you congratulate her on her birthday?”

Jiang Zhi En and Xiao Qi Yu followed suit.
They smiled at Li Lu Xi and wished her happy birthday.
They then ordered for the gifts they prepared to be given to Li Lu Xi.

Li Su took a look.
They were all gold and jade toys.
How tasteless!

Jiang Zhi En saw the contempt in Li Su’s eyes and angrily said, “What gift did cousin prepare for Lu Xi?”

Li Su tsked with disdain and turned around to take a box from Mother Qiu.
“Look! This is the gift I prepared for Lu Xi.
I will prepare a copy for her every year on her birthday.”

Jiang Zhi En opened it and saw that it was a deed of a house on Lin Xi Street.
“This is?”

“This is the dowry I have prepared for Lu Xi.
The dowry is generous so my Lu Xi will not be bullied in the future!” Li Su was very content.

“Then what did you prepare for Yi Cheng?” Jiang Zhi En said irritably.
He knew the financial situation of the Li family well.
This house required a lot of money.
“Lu Xi is a girl, but Yi Cheng is a boy.”

Li Yi Cheng smiled and said, “Foster father, don’t worry.
I don’t have any issues with my mother preparing things for my younger sister.
You said that I am a boy, so I will prepare what I want with my own ability.”

Jiang Zhi En looked at Li Su, who looked proud after hearing what Li Yi Cheng said.
This family was really wonderful.
Normal families left their property to the son, but this family.
Really!
