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

His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, who was called a "nasty guy" by Wu Xu, returned to the palace in confusion.

"Second brother!" When His Royal Highness the King of Chu returned to the palace, before he had time to eat, Princess Changle, along with her sisters Lanling and Sizi, visited his bedroom and asked, "How was it, did everything go well for you today?"

"It's pretty... smooth..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said as he took the little Sizi who had opened his arms to him early from Changle's arms: "But this is just one meeting, no one can predict what will happen in the future. Oh, Sizi, you even hid some chicken wings for your second brother?"

His Highness the King of Chu did not expect that after the lovely Sizi hugged him, she would take out a piece of chicken wing wrapped in a silk scarf from the small pouch on her waist. Hmm... It was greasy, and it was probably just on the table when my sister took action...

"Second brother, Sizi is worried that you'll be hungry!" said the little princess, and she picked up the chicken wings and stuffed them into her second brother's mouth.

"Hmm..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, who was force-fed by his sister, smiled and bit the chicken wing, then rubbed his sister's forehead with the tip of his nose.

"Itchy~~Second brother is so bad!" Princess Sizi was amused by her brother and laughed.

"Brother, you..." Princess Changle watched her brother chew up the bones and swallow them. She couldn't help but ask mischievously, "When did you become so frugal?"

"How can a small chicken wing express the kindness of little Sizi?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu laughed when he heard this, and then looked at his sister in his arms: "My second brother is not in the palace today, does Sizi miss him?"

"I want to~~" the little girl replied in a long tone, and then continued to act coquettishly: "Second brother will accompany Sizi to catch fireflies and butterflies tomorrow!"

Uh... His Royal Highness the King of Chu is in a dilemma now - it is late autumn now, and fireflies... These things mainly appear in the summer. By the autumn, they are very few and almost extinct...

But... since my sister has made the request, and it's not for the stars in the sky, then as her brother, Your Highness the Prince of Chu will naturally fulfill her wish.

"I will catch some fireflies for you tonight!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu said, and then turned to Changle and Lanling and said, "You two will also have some. I will make a firefly lantern for each of you!"

"Thank you, brother Lanling!" Princess Lanling has become smarter and more sensible now, but when she is happy, she still calls Li Kuan the same way as in her childhood.

Don’t call me second brother, call me elder brother.

"Second brother, are we benefiting from the little Sizi?" Although Princess Changle is growing up now, perhaps because she has a second brother like Li Kuan who dotes on his sister so much, she has become a little more mischievous.

"What are you talking about?" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was immediately displeased: "Have you forgotten who helped you catch fireflies in the Qin Palace? My brother is clumsy and is in the way. As for the blue bird... let's not talk about it!"

“Brother, you clearly snatched those fireflies from Li Chengzong and his men…” Princess Changle smiled as she recalled the past. “Ever since you taught them a lesson, they’ve all been scared out of their wits…”

"Oh, don't mention those unlucky things." His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked at the little Sizi lying in his arms with a bewildered face. He couldn't help but reach out his hand lovingly and comb the messy hair on his sister's forehead: "Sizi is still here."

"Yes, sister, Sizi is still here!" Princess Sizi came to her senses and suddenly turned to her sister Changle and said angrily: "Shame on you, sister, you actually competed for favor with Sizi!"

"Where did you hear this?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu burst into laughter when he heard this, and suddenly realized that Sizi was also a little shrewd.

"Fourth brother said so!" Little Sizi didn't know how much consequences her next words would bring to her good fourth brother: "Fourth brother said that eldest brother is going to marry...many many sisters-in-law for Sizi, and the sisters-in-law will compete for his favor in the future! Then eldest brother will have no time to care about Sizi!"

"Sizi, first of all, we don't care whether the silly prince is free or not." His Royal Highness the King of Chu smiled and pinched his sister's cheek, then said: "Secondly, if your fourth brother says something strange to you in the future, remember to tell your second brother. In fact, your second brother doesn't know about it."

"Really?" Princess Sizi's eyes widened when she heard this: "Second brother hasn't heard of it either?"

"Never heard of it!" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was now thinking about how to teach His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei a lesson for making indirect accusations in front of his sister.

"Second brother, you're going too far..." Changle and Lanling had been covering their mouths and laughing for a long time.

"Alas!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu suddenly said seriously, "How can you say that my second brother is too much in front of Xiao Sizi?"

"Hehehe..." Princess Changle heard her brother's words, so she turned to look at Princess Lanling beside her: "Sister Lanling, what do you think?"

“I…” Princess Lanling was in a dilemma for a moment: She couldn’t understand why Sister Changle and her second brother quarreled, but in the end she had to be the judge…

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

The punishment that His Royal Highness the King of Chu gave to his younger brother Qingque was very tasteful and elegant.

In order to fulfill Sizi's wish, he took Li Tai and stayed up all night, and the two brothers caught fireflies in the imperial garden all night.

But by dawn, the number of fireflies caught by Li Kuan and Li Tai combined was no more than the number on their fingers.

"Second brother, this... how about we go back and arrange for someone to catch them?" In the morning light, Li Tai was already exhausted and collapsed in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden. He looked at his second brother who was sitting at the stone table and carefully counting the harvest, and said weakly: "Second brother... my good second brother... I really know I was wrong this time..."

"Don't come here, kid." After carefully trapping the fireflies in a lantern made of white silk, His Royal Highness the King of Chu turned around and scolded his brother, "Yes, we have no shortage of manpower, especially your second brother. But is it the same if someone else catches it or we catch it ourselves?

It doesn't matter if you are lazy on weekdays, your second brother won't say anything to you, after all, your second brother is not a diligent person. But Qingque, there are some things that we have to do with our own hands to show our true feelings, do you understand?"

"Sizi is still young..." Li Tai wanted to argue after hearing this, but... under the authority of his second brother, his voice was as light as a mosquito.

"You are just too smart when it comes to this kind of thing!" Seeing that his stinky brother dared to talk back, His Royal Highness the King of Chu immediately made up his mind and said, "Tonight, tonight we will go to Qujiang Garden to catch fireflies!"
