I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 68 Announcement
At noon, had lunch.

Li Chengzong took care of Si Lili and put her to sleep, and arranged for his brother-in-law to go to the school in the palace before he got on the carriage and entered the palace.

Let’s go to Yuxiu Palace first.

When Qin Yu heard that Si Lili was pregnant, she immediately asked people to pack up and go to the palace.

Looking at Li Chengzong standing there in a daze, Qin Yu still disliked his son for being in the way, so he waved his hand and signaled his son to go and mind his own business.

Being disliked by his mother, Li Chengzong had no choice but to come to the old lady's bedroom.

The palace gates were closed, and upon asking around, we learned that the old lady had gone to the garden to admire the flowers.

When they arrived at the garden behind the palace, they saw the old lady lying on a recliner with her eyes half closed. Two female officials were serving her, peeling the fruits on the table and carefully feeding them to her.

"temple……"

"Shh~"

Li Chengzong made a hushing gesture, quietly walked to the old lady, peeled a fruit himself and fed it to her. The slightly bitter taste burst in her mouth, causing the old lady to frown and open her eyes instantly.

"I knew it was you, a naughty boy. Why did you come to the palace to see an old lady like me today?" The Queen Mother looked unhappy, but her eyes were full of smiles.

"Hey, I have good news for you."

"What's the happy event?"

“You have a great-grandson.”

As Li Chengzong said this, he thought that it might be a daughter, and quickly added: "It could also be a great-granddaughter."

The old lady was so excited that she sat up immediately.

"Pah, pah, pah, what great-granddaughter? It's grandson, great-grandson!"

In order to avoid disappointing the old lady in the future, Li Chengzong decided to take precautions in advance.

"No one can say for sure about this kind of thing. It's still possible to have a daughter."

"Don't be so talkative."

The old lady snorted and asked with a smile, "When did you know?"

Li Chengzong smiled and said, "Today, I came to the palace to announce the good news to you."

"It is indeed a great joyous event. Find some time to bring the girl to the palace so I can take a look."

"This...her identity is somewhat special and she is not suitable to enter the palace." Li Chengzong was a little embarrassed.

"She is Li Zhao's granddaughter, so what's inappropriate about her? If I say it's suitable for her, then it's suitable for her." The old lady's tone was indifferent, but there was a majesty that was hard to ignore.

Li Zhao is Si Lili's grandfather. It is obvious that the Queen Mother already knows Si Lili's identity.

In this city of Kyoto, many things are really not secrets.

Li Chengzong sighed silently and asked, "Grandma, the old prince Zhao Li Zhao is a rebel, and Si Lili is the descendant of a rebel, do you mind?"

"I'm already so old, why should I care about these things?"

Just listen to this.

The old lady is very narrow-minded, how could she possibly be tolerant of rebellion...wait!
It seems that Prince Kang is also the old lady’s biological son.

In other words, Prince Zhao Li Zhao betrayed Emperor Qing and defected to the old lady's other son.

To Emperor Qing, Li Zhao was naturally a rebel.

But for the old lady, it didn't seem to be rebellious.

Thinking of this, Li Chengzong suddenly realized, nodded and smiled: "Then I will find a time to bring her to see you, and since you don't mind, can I ask you for a favor?"

It must not be an easy thing to make Li Chengzong ask for help, so the old lady decided to listen to what it was first.

"Can you tell me first?"

Li Chengzong smiled and said, "I want to marry her, but my father doesn't agree. Can you issue an imperial decree?"

"No."

The old lady refused without even thinking about it.

"Didn't you say you didn't mind?"

"I don't mind, but she is the daughter of a rebellious woman. How can she be your prince's consort? Not to mention that your father disagrees, even if he agrees, I won't agree."

"Really not possible?"

"No." The old lady said firmly.

"The baby in Si Lili's belly is my grandson's first child. It would be embarrassing if it was a concubine who gave birth to a child. Besides, Si Lili is a descendant of our Li family, so it's okay to include her in the family tree."

The old lady was silent for a long time before she spoke: "You go ask His Majesty first. If he really disagrees, I will issue an imperial decree, but it can only be a concubine."

Obviously, the Queen Mother finally agreed.

In addition to loving Li Chengzong, the biggest reason was Si Lili's grandfather.

When Prince Kang was shot, Li Zhao rushed to save him. Although he failed in the end and both of them died, the old lady still remembered his kindness.

"Thank you, grandma. I'll go find the old man first. Please eat less sweets."

Seeing Li Chengzong pick up the sweetest fruit on the table, the old lady waved her hand with an annoyed look on her face and said, "Go away. I'm annoyed just by looking at you."

Royal study room.

Today, Emperor Qing rarely took time off from polishing arrowheads and instead dealt with memorials.

Li Chengzong placed the fruit he had brought from the old lady in front of Emperor Qing and said with a smile, "Father, try some fruit, it's very sweet." Emperor Qing glanced at the fruit on the table and said calmly, "You are being so kind to me. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"I have good news for you."

"You have a child, I know."

Emperor Qing spoke in a calm tone, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

After all, he is his first grandson, so Emperor Qing is still somewhat happy.

"Well, I still want to take Si Lili as my concubine."

Emperor Qing laughed and said, "Didn't you go to see the Queen Mother, and she agreed to your request? Why are you still looking for me?"

"I just came from the Imperial Grandmother's place, and you know about this?"

Li Chengzong was a little surprised. Even though he knew that Emperor Qing had strong control, the news spread too quickly.

Emperor Qing looked through the memorials without even looking up. He waved his hand and said, "I'm busy. Go find Prince Jing yourself."

"Why would I go to Uncle Jing?"

He was a very smart child, how come he became stupid?

Emperor Qing raised his head and said unhappily, "She is a prostitute. If you took her as your concubine, do you know how many people would report it to you? I am very busy recently and I don't want to see the Ministry of Rites and the Censorate report you again."

Si Lili's identity as a secret agent from Northern Qi was not mentioned because it had already been whitewashed.

I have to say that the Supervisory Commission is still very fast.

At least in the perception of most court officials, Si Lili was a secret agent sent by the Supervisory Council to Northern Qi, but was sent back to Qing by Northern Qi, making her a spy within a spy.

In order to repay the favor he owed in the Spring Examination, Chen Pingping also gave some of the credit for defeating Northern Qi to Si Lili.

Basically, in this battle between Qing and Northern Qi, the reason why Qing was so successful all the way was closely related to Si Lili spreading false information to Northern Qi.

In fact, it was indeed related to Si Lili spreading false information to Northern Qi, but Si Lili was just used by Emperor Qing.

Of course, none of this matters. What matters is that Li Chengzong understood what Emperor Qing meant.

It turned out that he wanted to find an identity for Si Lili that was worthy of him.

It has to be said that as long as his power is not touched, Emperor Qing is still easy to talk to.

And from this incident, it seems that Emperor Qing really cares about him, which even touched Li Chengzong a little.

"Thank you, Father. I won't bother you any more."

Emperor Qing waved his hand and said nothing more.

Li Chengzong left the imperial study and went straight to Prince Jing's Mansion.

Prince Jing stopped frequenting places of pleasure a few years ago and opened a flower garden in the palace. He planted no exotic flowers or plants, but some common crops and wild vegetables.

The flower beds are surrounded by trees, so it is very cool even in summer. It is quiet and elegant. You can hear the cheerful singing of birds above your head, and there is green all around you, which is very comfortable.

Li Chengzong followed the palace steward through the tree-lined path and saw a man in his fifties with a decent face, waving a hoe in his hand and digging the ground.

Just looking at this scene, those who don’t know would think he is an ordinary old farmer and would not be able to tell that he is a prince.

"Uncle Jing."

Li Chengzong shouted, but before Prince Jing could speak, a girl of fifteen or sixteen stood up from the bushes.

"Hey, Third Brother, why are you here?"

This girl is Prince Jing’s daughter, Princess Roujia.

She has a gentle personality and is fond of poetry. She is always present at any poetry gathering in Kyoto, and she has a very good personal relationship with Fan Ruoruo.

"I came to see Uncle Wang for something. How come you have the time to help Uncle Wang today?"

"She's not here to help, she's here to cause trouble."

Prince Jing put down the hoe in his hand and asked with a smile: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Li Chengzong nodded: "Si Lili is pregnant, I plan to marry her, but you know her identity, Uncle Jing, so my father asked me to come to you, can you see if I can recognize her as a relative or godparent, and then I can take her away from your house when we get married."

Prince Jing was stunned: "You are a father now?"

No, isn’t the point of this sentence about recognizing one’s relatives?

Li Chengzong was speechless, but still nodded, "Uncle Wang, if it's not convenient for you, I'll go find my uncle."

"Your uncle doesn't even have a woman in his house. There are so many things to get married about. He doesn't know shit."

Prince Jing showed his disdain for Qin Ye without any hesitation and said with a smile: "Pick a day and bring Miss Si Lili here. When you get married, you can leave my house."

"Thank you, Uncle Wang. I'll go back and pick a date."

Prince Jing hummed and said with a smile: "You are rich, so you must have the necessary things to recognize your relatives. Go ahead."

“Your satisfaction is guaranteed.”

As Li Chengzong was speaking, he was about to say goodbye and return home, when suddenly a muddy hand grabbed his clothes.

"Third brother, I heard yesterday that my sister-in-law was a spy sent by our Qing Kingdom to Northern Qi, and then was sent to our Qing Kingdom by Northern Qi. She is so powerful. Can I go to your house to see her?"

Seeing Princess Roujia's eyes sparkling, Li Chengzong naturally understood that his little cousin was curious about Si Lili because of her so-called spy identity, and had some admiration for her. He couldn't help but smile and said, "You are always welcome at Third Brother's house. You just need to ask Uncle Wang."

Princess Roujia turned to look at her old father. Before she could say anything, Prince Jing said with a look of disgust, "Go, go, go, take her away quickly. She is causing me trouble here."

Just like that, I go out alone and come home with a little tail.
