Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

"Your Highness, you understand etiquette..." Dou Shilun looked at the King of Chu in front of him and said in a teasing tone, "Have you ever read the palace books in private?"

"Oh... Uncle Dou!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu blushed for a rare moment: "Don't joke... This is a matter of etiquette... How can I not take it seriously..."

"Heh..." Dou Shilun felt that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu had been getting better and better at making trouble recently: "Your Highness has always acted as he pleases. When has he ever cared about the constraints of these rules and regulations? Oh... So you only take seriously the etiquette that is useful to you? The useless ones... should not be taken seriously?" - It must be said that when it comes to how to be sarcastic to His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, Dou Shilun is now almost on par with Jiang Qu.

"Uncle Dou..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu felt that he could no longer play happily with the other party: "Are you satisfied only when I cover my face and leave?"

"I am just reminding you that you have grown up, so you should not behave like you did before - 'without rules'." In fact, Dou Shilun always considers his master, but unfortunately, his master is a solid and durable piece of rotten wood: "In a few years, you will be an adult, and you should be more stable in your actions in the future."

"Uncle Dou, goodbye..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu felt that in his life, except for that short period of time when he attacked Dingxiang City, he was "stable". Of course, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was referring to the time when he watched Uncle Dou's great power capture Dingxiang City from the rear.

In the rest of the happy time in the unruly life of His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, he had nothing to do with this word at all: "I am not my eldest brother, why should I follow so many rules?

Besides, Uncle Dou, look at my father, he is in his thirties, and he chases rabbits in the palace whenever he has nothing to do. Is he steady? (Note 1)

Also, when the emperor was playing with the tribute bird, Wei Zheng happened to come to see him. In order to prevent Wei Zheng from knowing about it, he hid the tribute bird in his sleeve.

But what was the result? Hey... Wei Zheng, that awful guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes - he had already seen what my father had done.

Our great minister of Zhenguan period... After he finished talking to my father about serious matters, he started chatting with him. It was not until several hours later that the tribute bird was suffocated to death that Wei Zheng left with satisfaction...

Speaking of this matter, my father suffered a great loss, and this tyrant was so angry that he couldn't eat for several days..." At the end, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu suddenly became righteous and confident: "Alas... Uncle Dou, although my father Yingguo is similar to me, this is a well-known fact.

But unfortunately, the world does not know that the reason why I cannot have the virtues of a saint is because these bad habits of my body... are all inherited from a certain incompetent monarch - in the final analysis, I am the unlucky one who is deeply dragged down by him! "

It has to be said that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, a filial son, is extremely hypocritical on the issue of "who is the hero" without even realizing it.

"Your Highness... that's all..." After hearing this, Dou Shilun had lost interest in continuing to persuade: "I surrender..."

Destroy it... I am really tired...

“Uncle Dou, don’t be like this…” Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said with a bitter face: “If you do this… I… I will be very… very…”

"Your Highness, do you still feel guilty?" Dou Shilun had already begun to reflect in his heart, wondering if his attitude was not good and his words were too harsh, thus hurting His Highness the King of Chu.

"I will feel very unfulfilled." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu widened his eyes upon hearing this, and then silently added the following text.

“……”Dou ​​Shilun was now certain that he was the only one injured from beginning to end.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is still the same His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu.

It has never changed.

-------------------------------------

After returning from Uncle Dou's residence, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu felt refreshed.

At times like this, he should happily go to see his sister Sizi, and then the brother and sister should go to the Imperial Garden to find something to do.

For example, look at Li You and Li Yin, the two poor fishing masters, who distributed disaster relief grain from the imperial court to the fish in Taiye Lake as usual.

For example, when Changle and Lanling happened to be free and did not have to go to the Women's Academy to study, he would take his sisters to catch butterflies and play among the flowers in the Imperial Garden.

Usually at this time, the sisters from Xiangcheng and Runan would come over and bring delicious cakes to their younger brothers and sisters.

Soon after, after receiving the news, other princes and princesses would also come to the imperial garden to attend the party.

When there are too many people around, His Royal Highness the King of Chu can no longer resist the pleadings of his brothers and sisters, and often "reluctantly" performs his superb archery skills in public.

In short, His Royal Highness the King of Chu still enjoys this ordinary daily life.

Of course, the prerequisite is that he must not meet His Majesty Li II.

After all, the flowers that fluttered butterflies were the peonies that His Majesty Li II loved the most. When there were not enough delicious cakes, His Majesty the Prince of Chu would ask Cheng Xin to intercept those sent to the Taiji Hall. In addition, the bows and arrows that this guy used to perform archery were basically "taken" from the Wude Hall. What bothered His Majesty Li II the most was that His Majesty the Prince of Chu's arrows... were usually shot in the direction of the Taiji Hall...

This is really the King of Chu!

Although in order to avoid hurting people, the arrowheads of these feather arrows are all oval.

But this did not affect Emperor Li II's rage after he received the report from the palace servants.

And every time this happened, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, who was summoned to the Taiji Hall to be questioned, would put the blame on the unfortunate person who was still in the Eastern Palace at the time of the incident, studying with the great Confucian scholars - His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Chengqian.

As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, unless he has so much schoolwork that he really cannot leave, he will usually choose to rush to support Tai Chi Hall and take the initiative to take the blame and cover for his younger brother.

It can be said that whether the father-son relationship between His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu and His Majesty Li II is strong or not is entirely based on how efficiently His Royal Highness the Crown Prince takes the blame for his younger brother.

Over time, this matter became more like a game between the three of them, father and son.

Although everyone knows who the culprit is, this does not affect Emperor Li II's choice of the "most barrage" strategy.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu will be beaten, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be able to escape either.

The relationship between father and son, and the bond between brothers, deepened madly because of this seemingly absurd little thing...

This is also a strange story in the palace.

Closer to home.

Because it was early summer, when His Royal Highness the King of Chu returned to the palace, he found that his sister Sizi was curled up in the small bed, sleeping soundly with Mimi, the hero of Lanling, in her arms.

And Hero Mimi... has now adapted to the life of being a humble cat licking the little princess.

So, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, who was reluctant to wake up his sister, covered her belly with a thin quilt, then tiptoed out of Ganlu Hall, planning to take a nap himself, and then wake up to accompany Sizi to visit Wude Hall.
