Chapter 151 Regret
Although Jiang Feng was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by this fact.
In this struggle for the throne, father and son are not father and son, brothers are not brothers, husband and wife are not husband and wife, and ruler and subject are not ruler and subject.
No one is clean.
Li Longye sighed and said, "You know it's terrible, but you still insist on asking about it."
Jiang Feng still asked: "Who planned all this?"
Li Longye was silent for a long time before he said, "From the beginning, it was my eldest brother's idea to alienate the crown prince. But since you asked me to follow my third brother, I have been observing carefully. It seems that my third brother is the one who is fueling everything."
Jiang Feng asked: "My Lord, are you willing to withdraw from the fight for the throne?"
Li Longye remained silent for a long time.
Jiang Feng asked again: "Do you regret it?"
Li Longye then shook his head and said, "At the beginning, I didn't think that my father could really rule the world, so I didn't think too much about it. Until the Wei mother and daughter became more and more crazy, our situation was getting better and better, but at that time I only thought that my eldest brother was the eldest son. Until..."
He glanced at Jiang Feng and said, "Until you said that the Tang Dynasty had never had a legitimate eldest son inherit the throne, I suddenly felt relieved."
Jiang Feng sighed and said, "Because at that time, I just thought you would definitely support Prince Ning."
Li Longye said: "But as soon as I had the idea, you poured cold water on me."
Li Longye was lost in memories, his tone still filled with sorrow. He said, "At that time, I seemed to be crazy. My lover didn't care about me, and I was just a supporting role in the kingship. I always felt that the whole world was against me."
Jiang Feng has been acting strangely lately, always feeling pity for Li Longye.
Given their situation, it was definitely not her turn to pity others.
She could only comfort him: "Were you feeling miserable at that time?"
Li Longye said: "Only after going through hardships can one appreciate things."
It seems that from the time they reunited in Mount Zhongnan to their complete breakup over the imperial seal, Li Longye's life was not easy.
For the first time, he experienced the feeling of being unable to get what he wanted from Jiang Feng.
It was Jiang Feng who warned him time and time again not to fight for the throne, because Li Longji was the true emperor!
Even when faced with Prince Ning's relentless pressure and Shen Guxing's threat of marriage, she had no other choice but to find him. However, when she heard that he still wanted to compete for the throne, she resolutely changed her mind and refused to give up the imperial seal.
He was extremely angry and in great pain!
He didn't know at that time whether he was angry because he couldn't become the crown prince, or because Jiang Feng didn't want him to be the crown prince.
He hurt her, annoyed her, and even hated her!
Therefore, he deliberately let Chu Yan enter the Jiang family tree, deliberately married Chu Yan as a concubine, and deliberately did a series of things that made him regret and embarrassed her.
He thought he would feel happy! But he was wrong. Every time he hurt her, his pain only increased.
He gradually calmed down.
What if we think about it from another perspective? Why would she rather bear the wrath of King Ning, rather give up her marriage with Shen Guxing, rather let him hate and resent her than let him compete for the throne?
If she handed the imperial seal to me, wouldn't all her difficulties be solved?
She is careful in everything, why is she so paranoid about this matter?
Maybe she really just didn't want to compete for the throne, and just wanted him to be safe and sound and be a carefree prince!
He felt ridiculous and he tried every possible way to make excuses for her.
Having found an excuse, he reconciled with her in his heart.
The world suddenly became clear.
Jiang Feng leaned on Li Longye's shoulder and said, "Later, no one asked me why I was sure that the prince would become the emperor."
Li Longye imitated her, and with a smile, applied her words of teasing to Ah Shu, saying, "You are mine, don't I know how tight your mouth is?"
Jiang Feng gently pulled his arm and said coquettishly: "I just thought you were praising me."
Li Longye knew it, but she still didn't want to say it.
Don't force it either.
In this way, Jiang Feng took care of Li Longye in the palace for another ten days.
During this period, Li Longye refused Princess Xue's visit.
Of course, visits from other people were also rejected.
Except Li Dan and Li Longji.
Because Li Longye was injured while saving Li Longji, Li Longji came more often.
The two brothers usually play chess and drink tea.
Later, when Li Longye's injury had improved and he could move freely, the two of them began to exercise their limbs. Li Longji beat the steled drum while Li Longye danced with the sword.
Jiang Feng and Ashu, as the only two spectators, were treated to a feast for the eyes.
Jiang Feng leaned close to Ashu's ear and said, "The future emperor of the Tang Dynasty is performing drumming for you and me!"
Ah Shu said disdainfully, "The one dancing with the sword is a second-rank prince of the Tang Dynasty!"
Jiang Feng was stunned. His awareness as a time traveler was not as good as that of the palace maid Ashu.
In this performance, the equal social labor of the emperor and the princes is condensed. In terms of performance value, they are the same and equal!
When Jiang Feng finally thought he could say goodbye to the palace, the palace said that His Majesty would hold a Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet and specifically asked Jiang Feng to stay and attend.
Jiang Feng is not considered a family member now.
On the day of the palace banquet, Li Longye insisted that Jiang Feng sit with him even though he knew it was against etiquette.
The seat next to him should belong to Princess Xue Wei Huazhuang.
Jiang Feng refused firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.
Li Longye was helpless and couldn't bear to see her sitting with the concubines in the palace, so he asked his aunt, Li Dan's virtuous concubine, to take Jiang Feng with him.
The virtuous concubine is quiet and unsociable, so Jiang Feng gets along well with her.
The palace banquet was held in the palace next to Taiye Lake.
It took Li Longye and Jiang Feng a lot of effort to get through the Zhenfeng Palace.
The whole road was lined with dense willow trees, whose branches stretched out to the roadside.
Jiang Feng and Li Longye walked side by side, followed by Ashu, Li Zan, Li Bian and Feng Changqing.
Li Longye picked up the occasional branches that stretched out, and walked forward carefully protecting Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng took his service for granted. He walked in front of Li Longye for a while, then turned around and walked backwards, talking to him while laughing.
The flowers and trees on both sides face each other, and I don’t know whether the flowers are leaving or people are coming.
Jiang Feng treated all this as normal.
But the spectators in the pavilion in the distance had different thoughts.
Princess Xue was the most angry, her eyes and heart full of jealousy: she had always been half a step behind Li Longye when she was running parallel to him. She had never been treated with such care by him as she was today.
What Princess Ji'an couldn't stand the most was Shen Guxing's sense of loss.
He was the first to see the scene, and was in a daze for a long time before he attracted everyone's attention.
Jiang Fei was dissatisfied. She married the prince, the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty. But she was just married to a prince, and she had to live far away in Luoyang. But why did she look happier than herself? Why did she get the envy of everyone?
What bothered her most was that since she married into the Eastern Palace, she had tried her best to block the opportunities for Li Longji and Jiang Feng to come into contact, but Li Longji still noticed Jiang Feng and began to appreciate her.
Now, he actually stopped playing chess with Shen Guxing and just looked seriously at the two people laughing and playing in the distance.
His expression was gentle, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or not.
