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

(Today's update starts from the previous chapter)

"Ah?" Seeing that the person who had said nothing about himself did not blame him without blame. Yu Lian'er first stunned, and then deliberately made his face: "His Royal Highness?

"Haha... It seems that I should be more careful about my words and actions..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and then said, "But I'm a little curious, why didn't you wait for Su Xuan to say those annoying words before slapping her? This way... When I argue for you later, I can spend less energy..."

"Your Highness, what kind of 'argument' requires so much effort?" Yu Lian'er couldn't help but wonder, but then she explained: "After all, Su's words are annoying, and she probably wants to irritate you. If that's the case, why should I give her this opportunity?

What's more, if I take action, His Highness will protect me, but if His Highness takes action... who can protect His Highness?" - After Yu Lian'er finished speaking, she couldn't help but gently tugged at His Highness the King of Chu's arm: "Your Highness, I hope you don't blame Lian'er for acting rashly..."

“How could it be…” His Royal Highness Prince Chu came back to his senses from the shock, and then his heart was filled with tenderness. Hearing this, he said softly, “Lian’er, in fact, I only realized recently that since my grandmother left, I have no home…”

"It's okay, there will be time in the future." Yu Lian'er subconsciously comforted the King of Chu when she heard this, and then she realized that such love words seemed a little... too bold... so she stopped talking silently. In just a blink of an eye, the girl's snow-white neck was already stained with rosy pink.

"Actually..." Seeing that Yu Lian'er was already shy, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu carefully hid his feelings and silently changed the subject: "I only now understand why Wei Shuyi can play with you."

"What do you mean, Your Highness?" Seeing that the Suzaku Gate was just around the corner, Yu Lian'er stopped quietly. She wanted to stay with His Highness the King of Chu for a while longer, even if it was only for a moment.

"When we were studying at the academy, we were all young, so we were all taught together. I remember that Wei Shuyi and I didn't get along well from that time on. Once, we had a quarrel and Wei Shuyi got the better of me. When I was so angry that I went back to Huairen to discuss countermeasures, and we were about to make fun of her with strange words, this tiger girl didn't even wait for us to open our mouths, and poured ink from the cigarette platform on my and Huairen's faces... According to her words, since she already knew that we were here with bad intentions, she had to take the initiative..."

"Your Highness, are you praising Shuyi and me?" Yu Lian'er was stunned at first, and then looked at His Royal Highness the King of Chu with a half-smile: "If not, then I will have to go to Shuyi to complain later."

"You must praise me... You must praise me..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu could naturally distinguish between the important and the unimportant: "From now on, you and that tiger girl Shuyi will only be praised by me... Only praised..."

"Hehe," Yu Lian'er raised her chin proudly when she heard this: "Your Highness praised Shuyi as a 'tiger girl'... I'm going to tell Shuyi about this, too."

"Can I say that I let it slip?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu turned pale when he heard this: "Or maybe I drank too much wine at breakfast today..."

"Your Highness is so afraid of Shuyi?" Yu Lian'er couldn't help but smile when she heard that.

“How can I say I’m afraid…” His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu began to pretend to be calm: “It’s… it’s the law of nature…”

One thing conquers another...

"You little brat, are you planning to be like me and be completely alone?" -- That night, when the Prince of Chu came to Hongyi Palace, the retired emperor Li Yuan was preparing to take a bath and change clothes, and then start his not rich but "colorful" night life. However, seeing that the arrival of his grandson would ruin his happiness tonight, the old man was naturally in a bad mood: "Can you please stop coming to me for no reason? What's even more outrageous is that you didn't even bring Sizi with you..."

"Grandfather, didn't you say that I was your most beloved grandson? Why do I feel like my position is in jeopardy?" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu didn't waste any words and came to sit next to Grandfather. "Hey? Are you taking a bath? How about your grandson accompany you?"

"——Do you remember when you were ten years old and took a bath with me, you lied to me that you wanted to compete with me in holding your breath, and ended up farting in the tub?" Upon hearing this, the retired emperor said unhappily, "From that day on, you lost the right to take a bath with your royal grandfather."

"Aiya..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu could not help but let out a strange cry: "Stinky old man, you still hold a grudge?"

"Who did you inherit your vengeful nature from?" Li Yuan shook his beard after hearing this, and then whispered, "Kuan'er...your father has told me everything. Grandfather thanks you for your kindness, but...if I send you to Qiongzhou to suffer in exchange for your grandfather's freedom in his later years - Grandfather will never agree! So, Grandfather hopes that you will be obedient and express your attitude to your father - I have already agreed with him, I will stay -"

“Grandfather, there is no need to discuss this.” Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu reached out and hugged Grandfather’s shoulders, showing the posture of a domineering King of Chu: “I am going to Qiongzhou to make it easier for me to go out to sea to fight Japan and explore the end of the sea... In short, Qiongzhou is a barren land in the eyes of others, but in my eyes it is an undeveloped treasure land. What’s more, Qiongzhou is located in a remote area. Even if your son doesn’t like your grandson one day, the army will be exhausted just from the long journey..."

"Kuan'er..." Li Yuan couldn't help but burst into tears after hearing his grandson's words of comfort: "If you do this...what will your royal grandfather say when he meets your royal grandmother in the future...I feel guilty, Kuan'er..."

“Tell my grandmother about your vivid old age and I will protect her—” When His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said this, he suddenly patted his grandfather’s big belly in annoyance and said, “Alas! Grandfather! We can’t be so degenerate! After all, you are the founding emperor of a country, you should be a wise ruler—my father is powerful, but after all, you were the one at the helm when the rebellion started. In the future, your achievements will be worth recording by the historians. We can’t continue to fall into the trap of that foolish monarch…”

“Kuan’er…” After hearing his grandson’s words, the emperor was truly shocked: “When did you… finally come to your senses…”

To be honest, you are so smart today that even your grandfather feels strange...
