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

"That's too much!" After learning that his uncle was not selected to be a member of the Dou family, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu immediately began to defend him: "Dou Shu'er... How can he always speak the truth? This is a bit too hurtful!"

“What you said is even more hurtful!” Chai Shao seemed to have long been accustomed to his good nephew’s inability to produce ivory, so he did not take the tricks of His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu too seriously: “But Kuan’er, you must remember what your uncle said to you today, and in the future when you are with His Majesty... when you and your father are together... you must pay more attention...”

"Ah?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu thought that his uncle was really interesting. "Uncle, please figure it out - who should I and my father be more careful about? It's not like I have a guilty conscience! Besides, my nephew's reputation is there. If the tyrant is willing to treat me well, then we can treat each other well. But if something goes wrong... let him find the reason himself!"

"..." Chai Shao looked at his nephew who was talking nonsense in front of him. He suddenly felt that... his two bastard sons... didn't seem to be so bad after all...

"Uncle, don't worry, I know what's going on!" When His Royal Highness the King of Chu saw that his uncle didn't say anything, he thought that the other party was worried about him: "You and aunt are so loving, I believe you won't lie to me about this matter."

"The key is that you are not someone who can be deceived." Chai Shao smiled and reached out to touch his nephew's head: "Okay, there is nothing else to do here, you can go back."

"Why don't you invite me to have a meal?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu felt that this uncle was not that reliable: "I haven't had lunch yet..."

"The sun is almost setting, and the food in the palace is not better than that in my uncle's house?" Chai Shao wanted his nephew to return to the palace as soon as possible, so he immediately showed an attitude of sending him away: "Besides, that old guy Dou Shilun..."

"Uncle..." Before Chai Shao could finish his words, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu interrupted the other party's spellcasting: "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Uncle Dou hurt you, what does that have to do with me?"

"Then do you think your uncle can become Dou's priest?" Upon seeing this, Chai Shao went straight to the point and asked what was in his mind.

"..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu blinked when he saw this: "Uncle... can you use the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder to fry fish for me?"

……

His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was personally carried out of the palace by the furious Duke Qiao.

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

At dusk, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who had been wandering outside all day, finally returned to his loyal palace.

"Second brother!" From the moment her second brother appeared in the Ganlu Palace Square, Princess Sizi quickly stood up from the steps, kicked away the cat-licking hero beside her, and started running towards her second brother, the most important person in her heart.

"Oh, second brother's little Sizi..." Upon hearing the words, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu quickly stepped forward, bent down and hugged his sister who was rushing towards him, and then held her in his arms.

"Brother! Sizi missed you so much today!" With her arms around her brother's neck, Princess Sizi began to complain: "Mother won't let Sizi go to the garden to play!"

"It's okay. Second brother will take you there tomorrow. Your fifth and sixth brothers have made great progress in fishing recently. We can grill fish." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu remembered that Guangzhou Governor Dang Renhong had recently sent a batch of lychee trees to his father. He would go back and rip off some of them to use for grilling fish. It should taste good.

"Yes! Second brother is the best!" Princess Sizi got the result she wanted. She immediately stretched out her hand with satisfaction and patted her second brother's shoulder: "Second brother, put me down quickly. I want to walk by myself!"

"Second brother likes to hold you, let second brother hold you!" After saying this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu rubbed his chin on his sister's furry head. After a while of intimacy, the brother and sister looked at each other and smiled.

After all, there are people in the palace that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu cannot let go.

In the evening, after Li Kuan and his brothers and sisters had dinner, he carried a food box and went to the Taiji Hall according to Empress Changsun's instructions.

Today, His Majesty Li II, who is still diligent in state affairs, finally got to see his beloved eldest son.

"You tyrant, stop what you are doing, it's time for dinner!" As soon as His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu stepped into the Taiji Hall, he shouted with just this one shout, and Zhang Nan, the chief steward serving in the hall, was frightened.

Good, good, good... Your Highness the Prince of Chu, you can always come up with new ideas no matter when and where you are. You can even send food to His Majesty as if you were visiting a prisoner. Except for you... there is no one else like you...

Thinking that the atmosphere today should be relatively harmonious, Zhang Nan silently winked at the palace servants serving in the hall, and then led them to retreat.

With a creaky sound, the palace door closed. Zhang Nan left the battlefield... and the space to His Majesty Li Er, who was also a "kind father and filial son", and His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

"Boy, do you feel unhappy because I didn't beat you for some days?" Emperor Li II put down the brush and memorial in his hand and looked up at his son.

"It's been a while since Grandfather has beaten you. Do you miss it?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said as he came to the imperial table and placed the food box on it. "Dad, can I make a suggestion?"

"Tell me what you want to hear." Emperor Li II waited for a long time and saw that his son did not respond, so he could only silently drag the food box over, take out the food himself, and prepare to beat his son after he was full.

"The Tang Dynasty will soon open a horse market. In the future, we will definitely not be short of cattle and sheep. Can we lift the ban on slaughtering oxen?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu felt that his request was not excessive at all: "Dad... please don't think that your son is greedy. It's really... your son has fought so hard for so long, and it shouldn't be excessive to enjoy the desire for food, right?"

"Don't even think about it." Upon hearing this, His Majesty Li II glanced at his son, and then said, "Kuan'er, how many people in this world are hungry? The wealthy families in Guanzhong have been living a life of luxury and debauchery. If I lift the ban, do you think the beneficiaries will be the wealthy families in Guanzhong, the aristocratic families, or the people struggling to survive?"

"That is to say... if I want to eat beef, I still have to go to Uncle Cheng's house?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu felt that he was being wronged: "Then it would not be appropriate to go there too many times..."

"You've already given Zhijie a Ferghana horse, how could he be reluctant to part with a few cows that died of illness at home?" Emperor Li II said this, and suddenly turned his head to look at his son with a smile, "Why... are you afraid that Dad will think you're stealing his girlfriend?"

"Hey... hey hey..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu thought of the way Tang Jian looked at him in the Honglu Temple, and his uncle's words about offering him a sacrifice, and suddenly smiled disdainfully: "Dad, do you still need me to dig your corner?"

They are now beginning to collapse one by one on their own!
