Li Ji carefully sized up his own child for a while and sneered,"
"Who's done talking to you? Not only did you embarrass them yesterday, but you also caused them to be blamed by His Majesty. Do you think this matter will end so easily? Dream on! Let me tell you, your father understands the personalities of those dukes better than you do.”
"You offended them in court."
"They will definitely embarrass you in court!”
"Instead of being embarrassed to the point of being unable to step down, it's better to turn hostility into friendship as much as possible now. If you go and apologize, there's still room for redemption.”
Li Zhen fell silent.
Apologize?
Was he someone who would apologize?
If an apology could solve the problem, how could the few State Dukes beat Du Yan to such a state?
"Father, what about the Crown Prince?"”
Li Ji was startled." What Crown Prince?”
Li Zhen told him what happened in the Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
After hearing his words, Li Ji sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at him in disbelief.
This kid.
Did he offend someone today?
And this time, he had offended the entire Eastern Palace?!
Li Zhen was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He raised his palm and pointed at him. He said angrily,
"Brat, are you crazy? That is His Highness the Crown Prince. He has extended an olive branch to you. Even if you don't want to agree, you can't offend him.”
"What do we do now? Hmm?"
"You've offended a few dukes and two higher-ups from the Imperial Censorate, but you still won't let it go. Now, you've even offended the Crown Prince and his aides.”
As he spoke, Li Ji placed his hands behind his back and paced around anxiously, thinking of a solution.
The Eastern Palace was not to be trifled with.
This was the Crown Prince!
All the officials in the court were respectful to the Crown Prince. They were afraid that it would be difficult for the officials in the next court to stand up for themselves!
However, this Crown Prince was really something. He could have thrown an olive branch to anyone, but he threw it to the eyes and ears of the emperor, wanting to recruit the eyes and ears of the emperor.
This wasn't just a sin.
This was f * cking courting death!
"Stand here and don't move. I have to think about it…"
Li Ji's head was as big as a bucket. With his hands behind his back, he couldn't think of a solution for a long time. He couldn't help but raise his head and glare at him. He said angrily,
"You're really in big trouble this time!"
Li Zhen muttered,
"Father, this matter isn't difficult to resolve.”
Li Ji stopped in his tracks and tilted his head to look at him."
"Then tell me, how do you want to solve it? Do you want to submit a memorial to the Crown Prince?”
"Let me tell you, no!"
"You have already offended him. The most important thing now is to reconcile with him, not to add fuel to the fire and make the conflict between you and him bigger.”
"Alright then."
"Look at your tone. What do you mean by okay? You just didn't take my words to heart!”
Li Ji was anxious. This kid was really audacious. He could do anything. How many countries had he offended? Why didn't you think of the consequences when they came knocking on your door and almost destroyed your residence?
Now, he had offended the Crown Prince.
Was His Highness the Crown Prince someone he could afford to offend?
That was the future emperor!
"No!"
Li Ji's tone was unquestionable." Swear to me now that you absolutely cannot report to His Highness the Crown Prince!”
Li Zhen hesitated for a moment before nodding."I swear."
Li Ji heaved a sigh of relief.
Li Zhen didn't mind. What did he have to participate in? Moreover, he was not qualified to let him participate.
These words.
Li Zhen couldn't tell his father.
If Li Ji heard this, he would explode on the spot.
"Let's not talk about this first. Take these things.”
Li Ji pointed at some gift boxes on the ground and said with a solemn expression,
"Go to the homes of those State Dukes and apologize to them first. You have to take your meals one bite at a time and walk the road step by step. We can talk about the matter of His Highness the Crown Prince later.”
"Father is getting some things for you. There are some expensive gifts inside. As the saying goes, people don't blame themselves for giving more gifts.”
With that, he turned around and returned to the mansion.
Gifts? " Do you really want me to apologize?" Li Zhen looked at his father's back as he turned around and entered the house. He sighed faintly and turned to leave.
When the butler saw this, he quickly pulled him back and said,
"Young Master, the Duke asked you to wait for him here. Where are you going?”
"You don't need these things to apologize.”
Li Zhen shook his head and glanced at the butler. He said faintly,
"Those dukes are all people who know the big picture. I'll go by myself. Tell my father to wait for my news at home.”
With that, he strode away.
The butler was left staring blankly at him.
Soon, Li Ji walked out with the gift box in both hands, but he realized that Li Zhen had gone somewhere. He couldn't help but be stunned and said in confusion,
"Where is Li Zhen?"
"Young Master said he didn't need these things, so he went empty-handed."”
Empty-handed?
Li Zhen's eyes widened as he cried out involuntarily,""Is he going to apologize or get into trouble? Who the hell apologizes without bringing anything?"
This brat. Li Ji stomped his feet and sighed in his heart. It seemed that he had to make a trip himself.
————
Li Zhen didn't go there immediately. Instead, he walked towards the Chang 'an Artisan Workshop. After all, it was already late. If he went to the High Duke's residence to pay a visit, he might not be able to see the expression on his face.
It was better to talk about it tomorrow.
After making up his mind, Li Zhen went straight into the Chang 'an Artisan Workshop and went to the house he had contracted.
"Ding Dong!"
"Friendly reminder from the cautious and brave system!"
Just as Li Zhen entered the room, he suddenly heard the system's voice. He couldn't help but stop in his tracks, his expression stunned.
It was the system's voice.
It had been a long time since he had heard it.
