Li Yunrui, who was lying on the couch, was first stunned, then burst into laughter, her body shaking with mirth.

"Giggle!"

"It's really upsetting that you saw through me."

"You're so manly, little brother, I like you even more..."

Chapter 18, Section 18: Li Yunrui: Good little brother, come visit often!

Compared to the sleazy Crown Prince, Li Chang'an's toughness surprised Li Yunrui.

She had always admired Emperor Qing because of his indomitable and powerful demeanor.

Unable to gain Emperor Qing's favor, Li Yunrui subconsciously wanted to find a substitute, partly as a way of retaliating against Emperor Qing.

Li Chengqian's infatuated yet cowardly demeanor filled Li Yunrui with both contempt and satisfaction.

Emperor Qing is so great, yet your crown prince is still completely manipulated by me.

Li Yunrui's first choice for a replacement was Li Chang'an. Prince Yong's appearance, talent, and demeanor far surpassed those of the Crown Prince.

Today's first attempt at probing was initially met with disappointment because it failed, but Li Chang'an's assertiveness piqued his interest.

She wanted to make Li Chang'an yearn for her, to make him want to obey her, and to turn him into someone like the Crown Prince.

Li Yunrui lay on the couch, his captivating eyes fixed on Li Chang'an. "Good little brother, you pushed so hard."

"You'll regret pushing your sister away like that when you go to sleep tonight."

Li Yunrui was very confident in her feminine charm, and she firmly believed that a boy like Li Chang'an couldn't resist her allure.

My firm refusal just now was merely an impulse based on moral principles.

In time, he'll figure it out.

However, Li Chang'an's thinking is that of a fully grown adult, and he knows Li Yunrui too well.

A woman's bed is easy to get on but hard to get off, especially for someone like Li Yunrui, who once she gets on, she can't get off.

Li Chang'an stared into Li Yunrui's eyes and said with a half-smile, "Actually, I'm more interested in your daughter."

Upon hearing Li Chang'an's words, Li Yunrui was greatly alarmed!

This little brother, how can he be so unconventional in his words and actions!

She blurted out instinctively, "You little rascal, what are you thinking?"

"Snapped!"

Li Chang'an slapped Li Yunrui again, pushing him down onto the couch as he drew closer.

Li Chang'an stood up and walked towards the door.

Li Yunrui, who had been pushed to the ground, let out another loud, giggling laugh, "Giggle, giggle!"

"Good little brother, you can't use Wan'er to scare your older sister!"

"Because, my sister is crazy! Hahaha..."

Li Chang'an shook his head and walked out without hesitation.

Just before leaving, Li Yunrui called out to her warmly.

"Good little brother, come and play often!"

……

The matter of Li Chang'an establishing his own government and military headquarters was quickly decided, and no one in the court objected.

Prince Yong simply moved out to live in his own residence; Emperor Qing did not allow him to participate in politics.

Princes of the second rank take up their fiefs, and princes of the first rank participate in government affairs; this is an old custom in the Qing Kingdom.

However, Li Chang'an, being a prince, was an exception; whether or not he participated in politics was entirely up to Emperor Qing.

This kind of matter is more of a family affair than a national affair, so who would dare to say anything?

In Li Chang'an's hand was Emperor Qing's imperial edict.

"He is granted the right to establish his own residence, with two hundred guards, and the personnel within the residence can be selected by himself."

As is customary, Li Chang'an could take some eunuchs and palace maids with him from Shuning Palace.

Li Chang'an left Hong Zhu in the palace, where Hong Zhu had already established his own intelligence network.

Because the palace is quite dangerous, there are not many people, and they only deal with Hong Zhu alone.

Zhao Gao, the Six Sword Slaves, and the Ten Fiends of Luo Wang were all to be taken away, as they formed the foundation for his future development.

The Ten Fiends of Luo Wang were four palace maids and six eunuchs, all of whom were loyal to Li Chang'an.

Although they are only eleven or twelve years old, each of them has martial arts skills and their own special talents.

The Prince's Mansion was bestowed by Emperor Qing himself; it was grand in scale and even more spacious than the Prince Jing's Mansion.

The Duke of Liu's mansion has already helped Li Chang'an recruit some servants. The Duke of Liu himself is not very involved in politics, so he is happy to befriend Li Chang'an.

To Li Chang'an's surprise, Fan Jian also brought some servants to help.

He heard Fan Ruoruo's voice as soon as he arrived at the new Prince's Mansion.

“You lot need to be quick-witted. His Highness Prince Yong is known for his high standards.”

"If His Highness kicks you out, the Fan family won't want you either!"

"Isn't that right, Father!"

Fan Jian followed behind Fan Ruoruo with a frown, bowing and scraping as he said, "Yes, yes, I'll do whatever Ruoruo says!"

The Duke of Liu's family is the maternal family of Li Chang'an's mother, so it is only natural that they come to help.

Fan Jian, the newly appointed Vice Minister of Revenue, dared not get too close to Li Chang'an.

But Fan Ruoruo insisted on coming, and Li Chang'an didn't get involved in politics, so he dared to come.

Li Chang'an saw through the carriage window that six-year-old Fan Ruoruo was reprimanding more than a dozen servants.

It seems that the little girl also gave him some servants.

As Li Chang'an stepped down from the carriage, Fan Ruoruo greeted him warmly.

"Ruoruo greets His Highness Prince Yong!"

Li Chang'an patted Fan Ruoruo's little head, "Ruoruo, just call me Uncle!"

At this moment, Fan Sizhe, who was standing next to Fan Ruoruo, immediately said, "No! It will be inconvenient for you to call me uncle if I become the Princess Consort of Yong."

Fan Ruoruo blushed and gave Fan Sizhe a hard knock on the head. "Shut up! How can you say such things in front of His Highness!"

Upon hearing Fan Ruoruo's words, Fan Jian's dark face turned ashen, like a wilted eggplant.

Li Chang'an cupped his hands to Fan Jian and said, "Congratulations on your new appointment, Vice Minister Fan. You have done an excellent job in raising your son; I truly admire you!"

Fan Jian returned the greeting, saying, "Your Highness Prince Yong is joking. I didn't teach you that; I don't know who told you that."

Name: Fan Sizhe

Age: 4 years old

Realm: None

Talents: Business acumen (Ninth Rank), Mental Arithmetic (Eighth Rank)

Abilities: None

Emotion: 50

When Fan Ruoruo saw Xiren and Qingwen, she greeted them warmly.

"Sister Xiren, Sister Qingwen, you've both become even more beautiful!"

Xi Ren and Qing Wen were at the age when their bodies were fully grown, with long, slender legs and curvaceous figures, which made Fan Ruoruo very envious.

The two women quickly greeted her, saying, "Miss Ruoruo, you will definitely be much more beautiful than us in the future."

"Yes, Miss Ruoruo, please don't be so polite. Just call us by our names from now on."

The two women were both very intelligent, and they could certainly see Li Chang'an's attitude towards Fan Ruoruo.

Although royal marriages are said to be ordained by heaven, Fan Ruoruo might just become their mistress in the future.

At this time, Liu Tianyi, the second son of Duke Liu, was also driven out of the palace.

"Greetings, Your Highness Prince Yong!"

This Liu Tianyi has no official position and runs a restaurant in the capital, so he doesn't need to avoid suspicion.

Li Chang'an said politely, "Second Brother, thank you so much!"

Led by Liu Tianyi, Li Chang'an toured the entire palace.

The mansion has nearly a hundred rooms and a huge garden with ponds and trees.

There is also a dedicated training ground with a wide variety of weapons on display.

Although the Prince's Mansion was bestowed by the Emperor and the furniture inside was already provided, the Duke of Liu's Mansion still added quite a few things.
