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

After leaving the palace, Dou Shilun stood outside the Suzaku Gate for a long time. He looked at the towering palace walls in front of him, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Uncle Dou, what are you doing?" His Highness the Prince of Chu, who had just returned from Chai Shao's residence, was holding a large bag of beef jerky he had robbed. He smacked his lips and looked at Dou Shilun with curiosity, saying, "Uncle Dou...are you going to complain to my father?!"

"Your Highness, you are joking." Dou Shilun saw that the person who came was the King of Chu, and immediately suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and said in a casual tone: "I have already seen your majesty."

"..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, who had just intended to joke with his own uncle Dou, suddenly felt that the beef jerky in his mouth was no longer fragrant.

OK OK...

This prince has always wanted to get along with Dou Shuer as an ordinary prince, but I didn't expect to be betrayed and suspected in return...

“Your Highness, please take away the distressed expression on your face…” Dou Shilun knew too well what kind of “playboy” His Highness the Prince of Chu was. This brat would most likely make a tearful accusation against him, but would Dou Shilun fall for it? “I am not going to report you to His Majesty, but this kind of thing… once it happens, it will not escape His Majesty’s eyes…”

"What does my father say?" After hearing Dou Shilun's words, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu immediately asked, "Does he support it or not?"

"His Majesty said he would break your legs." Dou Shilun's face immediately turned stern upon hearing this: "You will not be able to get out of bed for several months."

"Come on, Uncle Dou..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu knew his father too well: "I think you have always wanted to do this..."

"..." At this time, even Dou Shilun had to admit that when His Royal Highness the King of Chu was smart... he was not stupid...

"Your Highness, please keep this." Dou Shilun, who was unwilling to argue with His Royal Highness the King of Chu, suddenly remembered the instructions given by the old Taoist priest Zhang before he left, so he reached into his arms, took out the jade hairpin, and handed it to Li Kuan: "This is what the old Taoist priest gave to the little princess Sizi. He said that you must not give the amulet he gave you this time to others, otherwise it will bring disaster. As for your desire to pray for your sister's safety, he can understand it, so he gave you this jade hairpin. In fact, this jade hairpin may be more suitable for the little princess... By the way, there is one more thing. You must always keep the amulet given to you on your chest. This is what the old Taoist priest told you personally. I think this will be of great benefit to you."

"Ah... Master Zhang is so kind to me..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was stunned for a moment, then he reached out and took the jade hairpin: "No, this time I will repay him no matter what..."

"Your Highness, please allow me to say a few words. Don't think that the lineage of the old Heavenly Master, as the servants of the Dou family, should be so devoted to you. In fact, their lineage is extremely special even among the servants of the Dou family. Whether each Zhang family servant is willing to go down the mountain is entirely up to their own wishes, and the Dou family will never force them. In the hundreds of years from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the present, the number of times that the Zhang family has taken action for the Dou family is very few, but the Dou family has always protected them. Speaking of it, the ancestors of the Dou family are indeed very far-sighted people..."

"Isn't this another euphemism for being rich and powerful, stupid and rich?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked at Dou Shilun, who was showing emotion at the moment, and felt that Dou Shu'er was becoming more and more incomprehensible to him: "Uncle Dou, can you speak in a way that this king can understand?"

"What I mean is that Your Highness should cherish the old Heavenly Master's preference for you. The last person from the Zhang family came out of seclusion was two hundred years ago... At that time, the Dou family was in a chaotic world and encountered a major crisis concerning life and death..." Dou Shilun suddenly realized that he had gone off topic when he said this, so he quickly corrected himself and said, "In short... Your Highness, you must take the old Heavenly Master's words seriously. Besides, he has considered this for you. No matter how stupid you are, you should listen to his words."

"Hey, hey, hey!" The passively "stupid" Prince of Chu shouted upon hearing this: "Uncle Dou, don't treat me like that stupid king!"

“Compared to His Majesty, there is still a big gap between you and Him…” Dou Shilun saw that the patriarch had become smart again, and immediately sighed helplessly: “In short… Your Highness, please don’t let down the old Heavenly Master’s sincerity. It’s hard to say when the Zhang family will come down the mountain next time…”

"Ah?" His Highness the King of Chu was stunned when he heard this: "Uncle Dou, don't you know? The old Taoist priest said that his great-great-grandson will come to Chang'an soon, and will serve the king until his death."

"What?!" Dou Shilun was surprised when he heard this: "Your Highness, why didn't you say so earlier?!"

"You didn't ask, did you?" When His Royal Highness the King of Chu heard Uncle Dou's words, his eyes widened: "Besides... I just found out that this 'Taoist coming down the mountain' is so rare..."

"Your Highness, you are truly blessed with great fortune..." Dou Shilun shook his head and sighed after hearing this: "Taiping Dao... that is a Taoist sect with a profound grasp of luck..."

The last time, I was attracted by the old lady’s strategy and the good fortune she carried.

And now...

Dou Shilun's mood suddenly became extremely complicated.

I don't know whether His Highness will...

"Dou Shu'er? Dou Shu'er?! Hey! Look over there, there's a beautiful lady who is pulling out a weeping willow tree!" While Dou Shilun was stunned, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu started to act in various ways.

"Your Highness," Dou Shilun, who had come to his senses, naturally would not look at the beautiful woman who could pull out a weeping willow tree. He set his sights on the little jerk in front of him, his eyes slightly fluctuating: "Will you suspect that I... am actually unfaithful to you? Perhaps one day in the future... I will suddenly stab you in the back..."

"Uncle Dou... are you talking nonsense to me?!" When His Royal Highness the King of Chu heard Dou Shilun suddenly say this, he immediately became furious and said, "Humph! Even if I stab myself twice for no reason, I will not doubt you! I remind you again, I am a tiger, not a fool! How old was I when my grandmother passed away? I didn't know anything! It was you, Uncle Dou, who has been silently fulfilling your duties, protecting me as I grew up, and slowly handing over the manpower and family business that my grandmother left to me to me...

Uncle Dou, do you think that I have reason to doubt you? I think that any such thought is wrong!" When His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, he suddenly stepped forward and hugged his minister: "Uncle Dou... I know that you have been under a lot of pressure in the past few years. I will be more capable in the future... I promise that I will never... ahem... try to cause you less trouble..."
