Chapter 834 The son-in-law discusses the prince

Li Zhan looked at the proud Mrs. Sheng and knew that Sheng Minglan was very popular with Mrs. Sheng. He felt happy. He had some expectations for Sheng Minglan's cooking skills and said in support.

"That's just right. My grandson came in a hurry today and hasn't eaten yet. He is hungry now. I will open my belly and eat more later!"

When Mrs. Sheng heard this, she frowned and lectured Li Zhan.

"You kid, how can you ruin your body like this? You are also proficient in health care. How come you don't know the importance of breakfast? No matter how urgent you are, you still need breakfast!"

Li Zhan felt warm in his heart when he heard this, and nodded in agreement. He accompanied Old Mrs. Sheng to carefully talk about his experiences and knowledge in the past few years. Hearing Old Mrs. Sheng and Sheng Hong nod their heads again and again, they were more interested in the current situation in Bianjing. It's somewhat clear.

"Zhan'er, now I have something to ask you!"

Sheng Hong waited for Li Zhan and the old lady to finish chatting, looked at everyone in the room, waved his servants to leave, and then asked Li Zhan for advice with a heavy expression.

"Father-in-law, please tell me. I will tell you everything I know."

Li Zhan took a deep look at Sheng Hong and saw that Mrs. Sheng did not stop him. He already had a guess in his mind about what Sheng Hong wanted to ask. Seeing that Sheng Hong had already cleared the crowd, Mrs. Sheng and Sheng Hong were both cautious people. , unlike his mother-in-law Wang Ruofu who is outspoken, she is not worried about what she said today being leaked out and causing a disturbance.

"Zhan'erqin often goes to and from the inner court and knows the official family better than I do. Who do you think the official family belongs to?"

Although there were no outsiders in the Shou'an Hall, Sheng Hong still did not speak directly about King Yong and King Yan. He only vaguely mentioned the fight for the right to inherit the throne, with a nervous and cautious look on his face. He kept looking outside, very worried that someone would accidentally break in. .

Li Zhan was very calm and not nervous at all. Although there were some spies under the government to monitor the ministers' whereabouts, words and deeds, it was useless to Li Zhan now. He had already completed nine changes. After strengthening his muscles and bones, he stepped into the marrow cleansing. It can be said that he has perfected his martial arts. He is unrivaled in the world. His five senses are so sharp that no one can hide from his eyes and ears and listen to the conversations between them at close range.

Li Zhan thought for a while, Sheng Hong and now both prospered and suffered losses. They were people in the same boat. It was necessary to make some remarks, so he answered.

"The officials have not made up their mind yet, but they favor King Yong more than King Yan!"

Sheng Hong's eyes lit up. In this case, he had speculative thoughts in his mind and asked Li Zhan.

"You mean King Yong is expected to be crowned the Great Treasure?"

Li Zhan looked at Sheng Hong, who was obviously tempted, shook his head and advised him.

“You never know what will happen until the last moment, so it’s better for my father-in-law not to get involved!”

When Sheng Hong heard this, the ambition in his eyes instantly dissipated, and he couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

"You're right. People like us don't need to take risks. It's better to be steady and steady!"

Li Zhan knew that Sheng Hong was an old fox in the officialdom, and his best thing was to protect himself wisely, so he was not worried about Sheng Hong jumping into the fight between King Yong and King Yan, and finally settled the matter.

"King Yong is old, but he has no benevolence; King Yan is young, but he has no filial piety!"

"Both the two kings are not the sons of officials. They are no different from ordinary clan children. Father-in-law, please keep this in mind!"

Li Zhan's words contained deep meaning and he took a deep look at Sheng Hong. His words were explicit enough.

Sheng Hong's pupils shrank, and there was a trace of shock on his face. Now everyone in the government and the public believed that one of King Yong and King Yan would be the one to take the throne after a hundred years of officialdom. But now Li Zhan said that neither of them had the appearance of a master. This If the words got out, I was afraid that it would cause an uproar, so I quickly asked.

"Zhan'er, are you saying that the official family will appoint someone else as the prince?"

Li Zhan didn't nod or shake his head, he just smiled softly and denied it.

"Father-in-law, I didn't say anything. It's just that everything is possible, right?"

Sheng Hong put away the surprise in his heart and made up his mind not to get involved in the turmoil of fighting for the throne without knowing the prince, otherwise his little fifth-rank official would be overturned by the stormy waves in an instant.

Sheng Hong calmed down, glanced at Li Zhan meaningfully, and laughed.

"What the wise son-in-law said is true. Today our son-in-law is just chatting here. As for the rest, you didn't say anything and I didn't ask anything!"

Li Zhan also nodded, extremely satisfied with Sheng Hong's reaction and agreed.

"What my father-in-law is saying is that we are discussing Minglan's craftsmanship and whether it is as amazing as grandma said. We will eat later and don't lose grandma's face!"

Weng and son-in-law looked at each other in understanding, and smiled very much alike. They were indeed a family.

Old Mrs. Sheng had just been silent because what Li Zhan and Sheng Hong were talking about was a major matter related to the future of the family. She remained silent and listened intently to the discussion between the two.

Now that the two of them had finished talking, Sheng Minglan started to make fun of her cooking skills, and then she complained.

"You two, one is Minglan's father and the other is Minglan's eldest brother-in-law, you are really embarrassed to embarrass a little girl like her!"

Li Zhan looked at the complaining old lady Sheng, and immediately showed a hint of grievance. It was rare for him to complain coquettishly to the old lady.

"Grandma, people say clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as old!"

"Now, my grandma has sister Minglan in front of her, so she no longer loves her grandson as an old person!"

Mrs. Sheng laughed loudly when she heard this. She pointed at Li Zhan with one hand and covered her stomach with the other. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't stop laughing and couldn't say it.

Sheng Hong was also dumbfounded as he looked at such a coquettish son-in-law. He couldn't believe that Li Zhan could coax the old lady like this, but he was even more satisfied with Li Zhan in his heart, because Li Zhan's behavior fully demonstrated his affection. You can rely on righteousness.

Sheng Minglan prepared lunch and just stepped into the hall when she saw Li Zhan acting coquettishly to Mrs. Sheng. She was stunned for a moment. She was young back then. Although she didn't get along with Li Zhan much, she still listened to herself. My wife has talked about this eldest brother-in-law, who is wise, intelligent, talented, and a strange man.

Li Zhan's performance today completely overturned Sheng Minglan's impression of Li Zhan. In her mind, Li Zhan should be courageous, resolute, calm and calm. Who is this guy who is acting coquettishly and cutely in front of her grandmother? How could this be the virtuous son-in-law that his father was very satisfied with, let alone the grandson that his grandmother was proud of.

Mrs. Sheng looked at Sheng Minglan who had entered the hall, and finally felt relieved. She felt like she had lost the strength to smile, and said slowly.

"You kid, you know how to play tricks in front of me, and you're not afraid of losing face in front of Minglan!"

After hearing this, Li Zhan immediately cleared up his expression and became cold and indifferent again. He faced Sheng Minglan who came forward with a calm expression and nodded in greeting.
