Shen Lian's attitude was indeed beyond his expectation.
Zhao Xiang was still trying his best to make up his words and prepare to persuade Shen Lian again.
Shen Lian said: "Today the Holy Emperor has five sons, three of whom have been princes. The former prince was the most virtuous, but he died strangely. Your uncle was once the emperor, but now he has been deposed from the throne and imprisoned for life. However, only your father has not done so before. I was treated favorably by the Holy Emperor, but was made a prince in the new dynasty. In fact, who doesn’t know that the position of prince is a pit of fire and should be rejected, but your father accepted it happily. People say that your father is cowardly and stupid. Could it be that you are the same as the son of man? think?"
Zhao Xiang was choked up when he heard this. He had been brave and decisive since he was a child. Even his grandmother's ruthlessness praised him highly. It can be said to be in sharp contrast with her grandmother's coldness towards his father.
People say that my father was made a prince because his grandmother loved him so much. It was just that he had studied classics and history since he was a child and knew that the current situation was complicated and that he should not jump into the struggle for imperial power. However, his father did not refuse and accepted the imperial edict gladly.
Since entering Beijing this month, he has been walking on thin ice. Even so, it is still easy to dodge overt attacks and hard to prevent hidden attacks. His father still got a strange disease, leaving the doctors helpless.
Of course, the most chilling thing for him was that his grandmother didn't even say a word about this matter.
Even though he has the talents of an emperor, he is still young and flustered, otherwise he would not have found Shen Lian.
There is a lot of mystery in Shen Lian's words. As a son, he naturally knows his father best, so he also feels that sometimes his father is indeed not smart. He will neither please his grandmother nor deliberately maintain a distance from his ministers. , keep a low profile and bide your time. Just blindly following the crowd without any opinion at all.
But thinking about it carefully, their family has been peaceful and peaceful for so many years.
He is also a smart person, and he can tell at a glance. He suddenly felt that Shen Lian was a bit scary, and he couldn't help but wonder what a person like Shen Lian, with powerful methods and great wisdom, was planning.
He didn't know how to ask, and kept this doubt deep in his heart without showing it on his face.
After chatting for a few more words, they left.
Shen Lian watched Zhao Xiangyuan go away, but his last sight was on the imperial city, where the majesty was getting more and more serious.
"Brother, I'm hungry." Ruoxi's delicate voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Shen Lian picked her up and chuckled, "Aren't you going out to eat today?"
"I want to eat delicious food." Ruoxi grabbed Shen Lian's chin. Her brother's face was so smooth, without even a trace of down.
Shen Lian said: "Then today we will go to 'Fumanlou' to eat roast duck. Do you want to drink?"
"Xi'er is still a child, so he can't drink, and neither can my brother." Ruoxi grabbed a strand of Shen Lian's hair.

Fuman Building actually has no building, it is just on the street next door. Next to this street is a river called Anping Canal. This man-made river is the widest river in Shendu, with a length of more than twenty feet.
It was the empress who personally ordered the excavation to benefit a large area of fertile farmland outside the city. Before that, rice was expensive in the capital and it was difficult to live in the capital. Since the Anping Canal was established, the empress has asked people to develop improved varieties. It can be said that the price of rice in the capital has dropped year after year. .
There are countless policies like the Empress's that benefit the people. Therefore, even though the Empress changed the Yuan Dynasty, it is not a bad thing for the people in the world.
'Fumanlou' is not a restaurant, but a small tavern next to Anping Canal.
The tavern owner is a beautiful woman, and many people come to eat and drink just to see her.
It is said that she was a widow and wanted to have a happy home and turn the tavern into a restaurant, so she named this small shop 'Fumanlou'.
Fumanlou is not always full of customers every day. After all, those customers who want to take advantage of it will naturally not come if they have not benefited for a long time.
But the landlady is not only beautiful, she also has good cooking skills. At first, she actually kept a lot of customers, but she has a problem, the food she cooks is sometimes good and sometimes bad.
When it tastes good, it can't be compared to even the royal chef in the palace. When it tastes bad, it's worse than pig food.
You can't tell the difference in appearance, but you can feel it when you eat it.
Shen Lian only came here to eat once, almost two months ago. He was lucky that time, and the roast duck he ate was unforgettable.
However, Shen Lian was still a little surprised when he arrived here, because there was not a single customer at this time, which was quite bleak.
The landlady, who was about thirty years old, was quite charming. When she saw Shen Lian, she came up to him with a smile, her willow waist swaying carelessly, as if the wind was blowing on the willow branches, graceful.
"What do you want to eat, sir?" she asked.
Ruoxi had already responded first: "Two plates of roast duck, no wine."
The landlady giggled, seemingly amused by Xiao Ruoxi, and then looked at Shen Lian, who nodded in agreement.
The landlady then shouted: "Xiao Bai, come quickly and clean the table for the guests, I'm going to cook."
After saying that, he went straight to the kitchen.
The guy named Xiaobai was lying in the corner. Hearing the voice of the landlady, he got up and came over.
Xiaobai was still a young man with a cold expression, as if he was owed a lot of money. When he saw Shen Lian, he was a little hesitant, but Shen Lian had no reaction.
Xiaobai was the one who was chased by his enemies that night and was saved by Shen Lian.
His real name was Bai Shaoliu. He lost too much blood that night and finally fell in front of the store and was saved by the proprietress.
Bai Shaoliu was a little familiar with Shen Lian, but he couldn't remember when he had seen him before. A quick glance that night showed that he couldn't identify with Shen Lian.
After a while, a plate of roast duck was served. The slices were evenly sliced, and ordinary people could only see the surface. In Shen Lian's eyes, it was a manifestation of perfect knife skills.
This plate of roast duck is cooked very much like a cook trying to digest beef, so that the meat and bones are not separated from each other.
In fact, few people have noticed that the most beautiful thing about the landlady is not her waist, but her hands, which are white, tender and delicate, not rough at all.
Of course, although the landlady is extraordinary, Shen Lian has no other intention and is just here to eat.
Although he does not eat grains and abstains from fireworks, he still has the desire to eat.
The seasoning was very good today, and it seemed to be a little more delicious than the first time. Naturally, the proprietress would not accompany Shen Lian to eat. Bai Shaoliu even wiped the table and leaned outside the door to bask in the sun. When he went to greet the customers, the landlady didn't even let him solicit business.
Here near the water, it is still cool at noon.
Shen Lian even thought that the medical clinic should be moved to this street, but it was much better than the original place.
Ruoxi always ate very seriously, digesting the roast duck on the plate piece by piece, and actually ate more than Shen Lian.
Suddenly, Bai Shaoliu flew in from outside the door, which happened to be in the direction of Shen Lian's table.
Fortunately, halfway through, Bai Shaoliu turned over as hard as he could and bumped into the table next to him.
Ruoxi was a little unhappy because some dust fell on the plate.
