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

“That’s not important.” His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu shook his head upon hearing that, and then he couldn’t help but reach out and pinch his sister’s cheek again: “My silly sister… You are always so kind and innocent… Second brother… I’m really worried about you…”

In the previous incident, the people who thought they would not take over that position were probably Dou Shu'er, Zhen Xuan, Xuan Ce who was in charge far away in Yushan, and the old Taoist priest who had seen through his true heart a long time ago.

Human nature is like this, why bother yourself with it?

"Brother... I have actually thought about it." Princess Changle didn't notice the deep meaning in her brother's words at all. She was just eager to express her inner thoughts to her brother: "If anything bad happens to you one day in the future, no matter who it is, I will make him pay the price!"

“Hahaha…” After hearing his sister’s sincere words, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu couldn’t help but laugh heartily: “In order for Princess Changle to continue to be a happy princess in the future, second brother must work hard to ensure that he does not give birth to anything bad.”

"Second brother, I'm not kidding." Princess Changle said seriously, "I'm not the only one who thinks so. In fact, Lanling, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, and Gao Yang——"

“——Changle,” His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu did not let his sister continue speaking: “You should not consider these things, even if one day in the future... Second brother will never let you have such a difficult choice, because you are Second brother’s sister. Although Second brother is always used to pampering our little Sizi first, Second brother is not a partial person... Well... At least for you and Sizi, Second brother is not partial - Second brother grew up in an old house in Longyou. Although he knew that he had brothers and sisters, when Second brother was young, except for his grandmother and a few old people, he had no playmates of the same age around him.

So the fact that my second brother loves Sizi now is partly out of selfishness, in order to compensate for the loneliness I occasionally felt when I was a child... So, don't think that my second brother—"

“——Wuwu…Second brother…” For some reason, even though she knew that her second brother was not angry with her, Princess Changle could clearly feel that there was unstoppable sadness hidden in her second brother’s calm tone.

“Oh, don’t cry, don’t cry.” His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, who usually makes jokes one after another, is just a clumsy and honest brother when comforting his crying sister. He wiped the tears from his sister’s face with his sleeves and whispered, “Changle… your second brother doesn’t want to play the game of circling the pillar with our father, the tyrant… so… can you please stop crying first? This is not a big deal. You have to know that Qingque, that little bastard, was almost ready to give a shout-out to your second brother…”

“Second brother…” Princess Changle stopped crying upon hearing this and punched the man’s chest in annoyance: “This is not funny!”

"What's not funny about this..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu felt even more aggrieved after hearing this: "I didn't say anything about Qingque raising his arms to cheer..."

"..." After hearing this, Changle thought about it and it seemed...that it made sense.

However, she then said, "Second brother, I think... you can keep my eldest brother's position as the crown prince... but that woman Su Xuan... you must not let her continue to be the crown princess!"

"Wow..." His Highness the Prince of Chu did not expect his sister to have such insight, so he immediately gave her a thumbs up: "Princess Changle has a great opinion, I admire you!"

"Brother, stop it..." Princess Changle glared at Li Kuan unhappily, then said, "I'm not trying to sow discord, but Su Xuan is... too petty and narrow-minded. With this kind of personality, she can't hold a high position."

"How did you know that?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu asked knowingly, "She also gave the chicken leg you passed to her to my brother?"

"Why would she let me pick food for her?" Princess Changle had a good personality, but as the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, she was as proud as her brothers. "It was only because my mother was there, otherwise I would have poured the mutton soup on her head! She was so brave to use a rhinoceros as a raft!"

"This is my sister..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu knew that his sister was not a little sheep: "Changle, you don't have to spoil anyone in the future. Big brother will protect you, Sizi and Lanling from being bullied. But second brother is different - although second brother may be... a little unruly at ordinary times, don't worry, if big brother is unreliable one day, second brother will teach him a lesson personally."

"Brother, you look a little strange today." Changle seemed to have never seen his brother speak to him so seriously.

"It's not that Second Brother is weird, it's that there are some things Second Brother needs to make arrangements for in advance." His Royal Highness the King of Chu patted his sister's head and pointed to Qingque and Lanling who were playing with Sizi in the corridor not far away: "Second Brother sometimes needs to go out of the palace, you keep an eye on the three of them, especially Qingque, and don't let him feed Sizi sweets carelessly, it's not good for children to eat too much sweets."

"Brother, what are you going to do?" Princess Changle couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Will you come back in the evening?"

"Yes," His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said without hesitation, "Our grandfather, who suffers from kidney deficiency, has already warmed the bed and is waiting for me to come over."

"Puchi..." Princess Changle swore that if there was anyone in the world who could make her laugh through her tears in such a short time, it would only be her good second brother.

"Don't let this matter get out..." Seeing that his sister was happy because of him, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu stepped forward and whispered seriously, "Grandfather is a thin-skinned man..."

Recently, he saw that the old man had been using the excuse of "the deep love between grandparents and grandchildren, and sleeping with each other's feet" with his grandson to continue to hang up the white flag to his huge harem.

"Second brother, you are too mischievous..." Princess Changle's face flushed at this moment: "I will definitely tell my grandfather."

"You are such a heartless little girl." Seeing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu couldn't help but reach out and ruffle his sister's hair: "You are really unreliable..."

“Hehehe…” Princess Changle narrowed her eyes upon hearing this. The expression between her eyebrows was surprisingly similar to that of Empress Changsun: “Your sister is unreliable, but I’m sure you’ll win! How do you think?”

"Your Highness is so majestic, I admire you..." Upon hearing this, His Highness the King of Chu smiled, then reached out and took a red hairpin from his sister's bun: "My second brother is going to have a drink with his friends, and I don't have any spare money for the time being, so Changle, it's time for you to play your role-"

"Mother!" Princess Changle didn't even wait for her good second brother to finish his words, she turned around and ran towards Ganlu Palace.

"..." Seeing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu glanced at the red hairpin in his hand...

Then...King Chu realized that he was in trouble and ran away!

Are you kidding me... If I send Zhuchai back now, what difference would it make to me to get beaten?!

Changle, ah Changle... you really do know how to control your second brother...

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

Half an hour later, at Yushan Villa.

The "desperate criminal" who had just fled to Yushan from the imperial palace - His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, who was now secretly called a "fool" by the entire Chang'an, was sitting in the hall.

Below him stood a group of Dou family retainers headed by Zhang Zhenxuan and Dou Shilun.

"Your Highness, everyone is here." Not long after His Highness the King of Chu took his seat, Zhang Zhenxuan bowed and saluted him.

"Well then," His Royal Highness the King of Chu nodded after hearing this, and then he swept his eyes over the ministers in the hall and said in a calm tone: "Let's start the discussion."
