Then Sister Shuyi picked up the small bamboo sword I made for Sizi and chased him all the way to the East Palace. During the chase, the two of them accidentally ran into my eldest brother who came to mediate after hearing the news..."

After Li Ke finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing when he thought of the original scene.

The reason why he became a witness was that he happened to find his eldest brother that day to discuss how to transport the huge timber from Shu to Yangzhou after he became a fiefdom, so as to help his second brother continue to build ships.

Who would have thought that there would be such fun waiting for him.

"Brother... you've suffered so much!" King Chu stopped pretending and came to Li Chengqian, gave him a big hug, and whispered in his ear, "Don't get too close to the Hou family - Hou Junji is not only rebellious, but also capable of causing trouble instead of helping others.

In the future, if you... ahem... your brother will help you!"

"You kid..." The Crown Prince felt that he must have owed his second brother a lot in his previous life, otherwise why would he always be cleaning up his mess in this life: "So we are the 'best in the world' again?"

"Please stop it..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu felt that some princes really shouldn't be so arrogant, so he pushed the other person away and said firmly, "This prince and Xiao Sizi are the 'best in the world' - when this prince is not in Chang'an, and the emperor is so stupid - as the prince, you should be diligent in government affairs. Of course, you have to pay attention to your own backyard. Don't wait until this prince hears that Xiao Sizi was bullied in Chang'an, then this prince will not tolerate anyone."

"Speaking of Sizi, second brother, she mentioned you this morning and said she dreamed of you again." Qingque looked a little sad when she heard this and said, "And Zhinu, I know now that I should blow on the egg custard before feeding it to him, but the boy still cried for his second brother... Alas..."

"..." What else could His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu say about this?

But he then thought of something else: "Oh, by the way, I remember that I have no grudge against Hou Junji's daughter, so why did she speak rudely to me?"

Of course, this matter does not have to be clarified, mainly because the current atmosphere is quite awkward.

"It was previously rumored in Chang'an that you, my second brother, were injured in the Western Regions, and then our Crown Prince's concubine gloated over your misfortune..." Li Ke said this, and suddenly turned to look at the riverside - he found that the fifth brother Li You and the sixth brother Li Yin were still concentrating on fishing, and couldn't help but said unhappily: "Li You! Li Yin! Why don't you two brats come over?!"

"Brother! Wait a minute, I'm about to catch a fish - once I catch it, you can take the fish away and eat it on the way!"

"It's the same here!" Li Yan's answer was even more crazy: "Brother, don't make such a fuss. I think it's more economical to get some dry food for my second brother!"

“Hahahaha…” King Chu looked at his younger brothers who were fishing and couldn’t help but feel helpless and amused: “Okay, okay… you are worthy of being my second brother’s good brothers. Remember, if you can catch the fish, it’s fine. If you can’t, I will beat you two up!”

"Oh!" Hearing the threat from their second brother, Li You and Li Yin responded with full confidence: "Today, we will make sure that the giant creature in the river will never come back!"

"Alas... these two unlucky kids..." The Crown Prince was helpless: "Let them go..."

"Brother, I still need to explain something to you." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu suddenly said, "I learned about the rumors in Chang'an only after Lian'er and Aunt Hong arrived in Gaochang. After that, I wrote many letters back to Chang'an, including one to Shuyi - but who knew I still couldn't make it in time..."

In fact, the reason why His Royal Highness the King of Chu missed the news was ultimately due to the battle in Qianquan City. In order to fulfill the commission, he put all his belongings on the line - this led to a temporary blockage of news.

But now that everything has returned to normal, the bastards in Chang'an City are definitely in trouble: "But, brother, you should have found out, right? Who leaked the news?"

"Who else could it be..." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was helpless when he heard this: "Our good uncle."

"Alas..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was helpless about this: "Why do you think he did this?"

Do you have to be so hard on your own nephew?

"Uncle Wuji has become a different person since he resigned from the position of Shangshu You Pushe." Qingque, who was standing by, couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard this: "He runs to the palace all day long and even suggested to mother that he should find a good marriage for Changle and Lanling - but he was chased all over the palace by Sizi and Zhinu with small bamboo swords..."

"What?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu felt that his brother's words were too complicated. "Wait a minute... Didn't the Duke of Zhao tell too many lies? Others didn't believe it, but he did. Isn't he afraid that I would trample on the Duke of Zhao's mansion? And... Zhinu and Sizi... are they so brave now? When they were chasing Zhangsun Wuji, didn't the Queen Mother stop them?"

"My mother is also annoyed with him." The Crown Prince took over the conversation after hearing this: "As for this bamboo sword... Brother Kuan, have you forgotten those fishing rods that our father confiscated back then? - Now, somehow, Zhinu and Sizi found them in the Taiji Hall, and then asked Yunchang to make bamboo swords for them, and even gave each of them a scabbard - now... they are the most powerful two in the palace."

“Hahaha!” His Highness the Prince of Chu had never expected that his legacy would be inherited in this way: “As it should be, as it should be! This is called inheritance!”

But looking back, I should arrange more shadow assassins to be around my younger brothers and sisters. After all, happy times are always short, and these two little troublemakers should have a carefree childhood. All I have to do is spend a little more time and effort and look after them carefully in secret.

“Brother Kuan…” After chatting about these heartwarming daily lives, the Crown Prince finally felt that he owed his brother an apology: “In the past… I failed to take good care of you…”

"Are we still talking about this, brothers?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and then deliberately tilted his head to say to Li You and Li Yin who were pulling the fishing line hard by the river: "Why don't you two come over? Second brother is ready to leave! Still pulling...still pulling! That's the fucking hook stuck in the bottom, not a fish! Don't think you can get away with it, come here and get beaten!"

“No... Second brother, good second brother! Can you please give us another chance...” King Yan and King Liang were really anxious now.

Behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Li Huairen, Chai Lingwu and others were waiting to watch the show with smiles on their faces.

Although this summer evening in the tenth year of Zhenguan was ordinary compared to the past, it was the last time that the high-spirited young men of their generation in Chang'an gathered together.
