Chapter 1192 [The Glory of Tang Dynasty 19]

Li Ruo happily led An Qingxu through the winding mountain path and finally arrived at Li Bai's residence hidden among the mountains and forests.

Before I got close, I saw Li Chu, Cui Caiping and Shen Zhenzhu standing by the river, reciting poems with Li Bai. The scene was like a beautiful painting, which made people intoxicated.

Li Ruo quickened her pace with joy, however, when she saw Cui Caiping standing next to Li Chu, the smile on her face froze instantly.

"Why are you here too?" There was a hint of displeasure in Li Ruo's voice.

Cui Caiping raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and responded with a smile: "Can't I be here, Princess sister?"

Li Ruo frowned and said bluntly: "If you don't plan to call me sister, just call me Princess."

Seeing this, Cui Caiping's smile became more obvious. She deliberately provoked, "Then shouldn't the princess call me sister-in-law? After all, I am your brother's woman."

Li Ruo's face darkened when she heard this, and she retorted: "You are just a concubine, wait until you become the main wife, I will never acknowledge you as my sister-in-law anyway."

Cui Caiping didn't care and chuckled, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, it's the fact anyway."

Li Ruo was so angry that her face turned blue. Just as she was about to explode, Li Chu quickly interrupted, "Okay, I have something to tell you. Let's go to the study." After that, he pulled Li Ruo up without saying anything and walked straight to the study, leaving Cui Caiping and Shen Zhenzhu standing there, looking at each other.

At this time, Shen Zhenzhu, Cui Caiping and An Qingxu were standing by the river. Cui Caiping felt a little awkward standing there, so she spoke, "You guys chat, I'm leaving first."

Without waiting for the two to reply, Cui Caiping quickly left.

At this moment, An Qingxu played a melodious piece of music. The melody was like weeping and complaining, as if telling of his inner sorrow and helplessness. Shen Zhenzhu listened quietly, but her heart was like a turmoil. She didn't know how to persuade the man in front of her.

At the same time, Li Chu, who had just finished discussing things with Li Tan, was walking slowly towards him. When he heard the familiar tune, his face suddenly changed, and jealousy surged in his heart like a tide. Because this tune was exactly what Shen Zhenzhu had played for him.

The more Li Chu thought about it, the angrier he got. He couldn't stand the tacit understanding between Shen Zhenzhu and An Qingxu. So, without saying anything, he took Cui Caiping's hand and turned back to the capital without even looking back at Shen Zhenzhu.

Shen Zhenzhu didn't know that Li Chu had already gone back. When she found out, she thought that Li Chu had something important to go back for.

On the other side, Feng Shengyi rode his horse as fast as he could to the alley where Zheng Xun's body was. He quickly disposed of Zheng Xun's body, making sure that no clues would be left.

Not only that, Feng Shengyi also found out Zheng Xun's whereabouts that day through some inquiries. It turned out that Zheng Xun had been drinking with Chen Renjie that day, and Chen Renjie was drunk and indulged himself with the singing girls in the mountains. As a result, he accidentally killed a singing girl after being drunk.

After Li Chu heard the news, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of sneer. He felt that it was not unfair to let Chen Renjie take the blame.

Feng Shengyi understood what he meant. He immediately placed Zheng Xun's body in the cave where Chen Renjie, who was still drunk, was, and then left quietly.

The Prince Guangping's mansion was decorated with lights and there was an air of joy and happiness because tomorrow was Li Chu's birthday.

In order to stabilize Yang Xiangguo, Li Chu decided to give the position of princess to Cui Caiping after careful consideration. In this way, Yang Guozhong and Yang Guifei would not come up with any more vicious plans. Moreover, although Cui Caiping was harsh in her words, she actually had no intention of harming anyone. Deep in Li Chu's heart, he actually hoped that the position of princess could belong to Cui Caiping.

Cui Caiping looked at the seal that symbolized the princess's status, but she felt a little disgusted. To her, the seal was like a hot potato, which made her feel very embarrassed. However, she couldn't refuse directly, so she had to tell Zi Han beside her to take the seal.

Seeing this, Li Chu couldn't help but ask, "Cai Ping, now that you have become the princess as you wished, aren't you happy?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Caiping forced a smile and said, "I'm happy. Can't the princess see that? I'm very happy." She deliberately made the last few words extra long to show her dissatisfaction.

Li Chu didn't seem to notice Cui Caiping's reluctance. He smiled and continued, "Just be happy. In that case, I'll have to trouble the princess to take care of the king's birthday banquet tomorrow."

"Your Highness values me so much, so I will definitely make this matter a grand occasion for him." Cui Caiping smiled, but her tone was full of gnashing of teeth.

Seeing this, Li Chu raised his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said slowly: "I believe that the princess will be able to handle this matter properly."

Cui Caiping thought to herself that Li Chu was really good at talking, but she would not give up. She rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "It's the prince's birthday tomorrow, and it seems a bit inappropriate for Sister Shen not to be here. After all, Sister Shen and the prince have known each other for a long time and have a close relationship. I will send someone to pick up Sister Shen and celebrate the prince's birthday together. What do you think?"

Li Chu frowned slightly when he heard this, and was obviously a little surprised by Cui Caiping's proposal. However, after a little thought, he still responded: "You... since that's the case, I'll do as you say."

Li Chu knew very well that arguing with Cui Caiping would be useless and might even make her even more unhappy. It would be better to go along with her wishes, and perhaps avoid some unnecessary trouble. Moreover, when Cui Caiping was irritated, she looked like a cat with its fur standing on end, which was quite cute.

So, Zi Han took the order and went to Shen Zhenzhu's residence to pick her up. Not long after, Shen Zhenzhu followed Zi Han to the palace. She went to pay her respects to Cui Caiping first. After all, Cui Caiping was now the princess, and as a concubine, she naturally had to pay her respects first.

"My concubine greets the princess." Shen Zhenzhu bowed respectfully and said softly.

"Sister Shen is not feeling well, so please don't come. This gift is not necessary. Hongrui and Suci, please take good care of your master. By the way, tomorrow is the prince's birthday. The prince asked me to preside over it, but I don't know how to do it, so I'll have to trouble Sister Shen. Ziyuan, give some of the things to Mrs. Shen." Cui Caiping said.

Shen Zhenzhu was embarrassed when she heard this. She was not feeling well, so how could she have the energy to deal with these things? But seeing Cui Caiping was so insistent, she could not refuse directly, so she could only say: "This...this...isn't this what the prince gave to the princess?"

Cui Caiping smiled and explained, "Yes, but I can't handle it alone, so I'm troubling Sister Shen. Sister Shen is right, those who are capable should do more work."

Shen Zhenzhu sighed helplessly and thought, "If that's the case, then I can only accept it." So, she forced a smile and said, "Okay."

On the other hand, Li Chu learned from Feng Shengyi that Cui Caiping had handed over some of the affairs to Shen Zhenzhu, and she actually let her maids Ziyuan and Zihan do the remaining things, while she herself did nothing. Li Chu couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with Cui Caiping's behavior. He felt that Cui Caiping's behavior was a bit too much. After all, these things were what she should be responsible for.

Li Chu felt very angry. This person was finding ways to be lazy. He didn't think so before, but now he discovered that Cui Caiping was just a lazy person who would not do anything if she could avoid it.
