In the spring of the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Chang'an, Qujiang Lake.

"Your Majesty, does His Royal Highness the King of Chu still not plan to return to Chang'an?" Under the shade of the willow trees by the lake, the now powerful Duke of Zhao, Zhangsun Wuji, was fishing with His Majesty Li II, who was wearing a white dragon fishing suit.

"I sent several letters to Qiongzhou last year, but now it's almost summer and there's still no news from that brat..." Upon hearing this, His Majesty Li II sighed slightly. At this moment, he looked at the floating object on the water and said with a melancholy tone, "I don't know how Changle, Lanling, and Sizi are doing in Qiongzhou..."

"Your Highness, I think... you shouldn't have agreed to His Highness the Prince of Chu's request to let Zhang Zhenxuan take the person away." Changsun Wuji didn't necessarily want to flatter His Majesty Li II, but in his opinion, even if Princess Sizi was seriously ill and in danger, it was Zhang Zhenxuan who brought Sun Simiao into the palace on orders to save Princess Sizi.

But why did Zhang Zhenxuan dare to bring the three princesses to Qiongzhou afterwards? Was it because His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu defeated the Western Turks in one battle? Or was it because Duke Geng sent troops to the Pyu Kingdom on behalf of the Tang Dynasty to expand the territory for the sake of His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, his son-in-law?

In fact, Changsun Wuji was afraid in his heart - a King of Chu who had long been away from Chang'an still had such a terrifying influence...

Of course, he also knew that the King of Chu must have paid a considerable price to win the freedom of his sisters from Emperor Li II.

However, the latter never revealed the specific content of the transaction to others from beginning to end.

"Wuji, you seem to have a lot of opinions about Kuan'er?" Upon hearing this, Emperor Li II turned his gaze to Changsun Wuji beside him, frowning slightly, his majesty fully revealed.

"Your Majesty... I am not..." Zhang Sun Wuji was about to explain when he saw this, but suddenly a loud voice sounded from behind them: "Are you the grandfathers of those two idiots over there?"

"..." Upon hearing this, Emperor Li II and Zhangsun Wuji turned their heads at the same time, and then found a little kid wearing a tiger-head hat, a Qilin costume, and a pair of auspicious cloud gold silk shoes. He stood with his hands on his hips, staring at the two of them with anger on his face. Behind this child, there was another little boy who looked younger and had a very handsome appearance.

"Boy..." When His Majesty Li Er saw the familiar face under the tiger-head hat, he knew why Zhang Nan and Yun Shang, who were guarding in the dark, asked the Black Armor Army to replace people: "Do you know who I am?"

"I don't care who you are!" - Dou Nianzu, who had come to Chang'an with great difficulty and planned to take his younger brother to see the prosperity of Chang'an, knew when he heard this that the other party probably did not want to apologize for his grandson bullying his younger brother. So, little Nianzu, who had been extremely favored since childhood, simply stepped forward and kicked over the fish basket next to the other party.

"Big brother..." Dou Jingzu's personality was like his mother's. He didn't like fighting since he was young. It was obvious that his big brother did this just to show off for him, so he made up his mind, and then "da da da" ran to the side of the stunned Changsun Wuji, and pushed over the fish basket that belonged to Changsun Wuji.

“Tsk tsk… So this is all I caught after fishing for so long?” Little Nianzu wore a tiger-head hat, looking cute and overbearing. “Old man, don’t think I’m unreasonable. In fact, you and the grandson of the old man next to you were planning to bully my brother, but I noticed it and beat them all down in advance. But I have to remind you to control the younger generation in your family in the future. You have to tell them to keep a low profile when they are out and not be so arrogant, otherwise they will be bullied sooner or later.”

"So like..." Emperor Li II looked at his grandson whom he had never met before, and tears gradually appeared in his eyes.

"So similar..." Changsun Wuji didn't care at all about how his grandson was beaten by the little ancestor in front of him who looked so much like His Majesty when he was young. What he cared about now was whether the kid's father... was in Chang'an.

What if I beat the little one and the big one comes...

His Majesty might be fine, but this "uncle who is not very righteous" of mine... seems to be in danger...

"What is it like?" Dou Nianzu raised his brows: "Have you listened to me? Hum ... tell you the truth, if it wasn't for the little master before leaving home, my mother told me not to be overbearing, to respect the elderly and the young, and today the young master must be able to find the two of you!"

"Wow..." His Majesty Li Er laughed when he heard this: "Is the little bastard so fierce?"

"What do you call me, Master?" - Little Nianzu felt that he couldn't keep a low profile any longer: "Uncle Zhang, are you there? Beat them up for me!"

But he waited for a long time and there was still no movement behind him.

"Did Uncle Zhenxuan buy a gift for Aunt Changle?" Jingzu saw that his brother was sad because he could not summon his own offering, so he ran to his brother and whispered to comfort him: "Brother, it's okay. Didn't Daddy say that our Uncle Nine is still in Chang'an? We will go find him later, and so will Grandma..."

"Jingzu... your elder brother is so embarrassed now..." Dou Nianzu sighed slightly after hearing this, and then patted his brother's shoulder: "But it doesn't matter, as long as you don't tell anyone, this matter can be regarded as never happening!"

"Yes! I promise not to tell anyone." Dou Jingzu nodded vigorously after hearing this, then he glanced at His Majesty Li Er and Zhangsun Wuji, and then pointed at Li Xiang and Zhangsun Yan who were lying on the riverbank not far away: "Two grandfathers, although my eldest brother speaks directly, he does have a point - your grandson has been spoiled by you. Although my eldest brother and I have just arrived in Chang'an, we are very disciplined. It was your grandson who insisted on forcing me to take turns riding on them as a big horse, so my eldest brother beat me."

"Little boy, this is our fault." Emperor Li II looked at the well-behaved Jingzu, and an idea came to his mind. He then took off the jade pendant hanging from his waist and handed it to Dou Jingzu: "This jade pendant is an apology..."

“Who cares about your broken jade pendant!” - Dou Nianzu was a very smart child. He remembered what Aunt Wu said, that when you are out, you can’t just accept gifts from strangers. So he stood in front of his brother and pushed away Emperor Li II’s arm: “Don’t think that we are young and easy to fool!”

After scolding his own grandfather, Dou Nianzu turned around and said to his indifferent uncle Changsun Wuji: "You are even worse. You didn't even say anything! I just observed that the bait you make for fishing is smaller than that of this old man. It seems that you are a real miser!"

"..." At this moment, Changsun Wuji and His Majesty Li Er felt as if they were a dozen years younger - it was still that familiar taste...

As expected, like father, like son...

"Boy, are you the boss in the family?" After repeated consideration, Changsun Wuji finally offered the beautiful jade around his waist.

"Why should I tell you?" Dou Nianzu glanced at Zhangsun Wuji, who was slow to show his courtesy, and said with disdain: "You are just lucky today. My uncle Zhang is not here. Otherwise... hehe..."

"Stop humming, brat... You really take after your father..." Zhang Sun Wuji sighed silently after hearing this: When Quan Gaisuwen was escorted to Chang'an two years ago, he had revealed the ability of the little Taoist priest...

Back then... His Royal Highness the King of Chu was indeed extremely restrained...

Although the Princess of Chu slapped Su, who was then the Crown Princess, in public before leaving Chang'an, it was Su who provoked her first...

As his thoughts became increasingly confused, Changsun Wuji did not notice at all the conversation that took place between Emperor Li II and his grandson while he was distracted.

"Little kid, tell Grandpa, what is your rank in the family?"

"Tsk, then why don't you tell me what your rank is in the family?"

"Hahaha...Okay! Aung will tell you, Aung is the second child in the family."

"Oh... you are also a fool..." Little Dou Nianzu nodded as if he had understood something. "I never thought... you are the same as my father... you are also the second child in the family. You must have been excluded by your brothers and ignored by your father..."

"You little brat...you're really good at chatting..." Upon hearing this, Emperor Li II was speechless at first, and then he could only smile bitterly.

It seems... that boy Kuan Er's retribution... has come...
