The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

However, Li Fu's actions and words today made him think more.

As soon as he entered the door, Qingque and Lizhi ran towards him, looking very lively and active.

Chengqian stood aside in a proper manner.

He was well-mannered and calm.

But no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a child of this age...

"Chengqian." Li Shimin thought about this.

"Here." Li Chengqian stood still and bowed slightly.

"Did you have fun today?" Li Shimin asked.

"To reply to my father, I am happy. I have also learned something from Uncle Wang of Jingyang." Li Chengqian said, "I will study harder in the future."

Study hard, my father will be happy, and Uncle Wang will be able to take me out of the palace to play again.

I have to satisfy my father.

"Just be happy. Your uncle said that he will take you out of the palace when he has the chance." Li Shimin said, "It's good to go out of the palace and see more new things outside. Your uncle also has rare things. When you see them, come back and tell your father."

"Yes." Li Chengqian bowed and responded, and he was very happy.

Since my father said so, I will definitely be able to go out with my uncle in the future.

That's great.

"Chengqian should study harder and can't always think about going out to play, understand? Your father is very hard to handle government affairs. When you grow up, you should also learn to share your father's worries." Changsun said gently.

"Yes, I know." Li Chengqian responded.

Li Shimin picked up the candied haws in the food box and was about to eat it when the eunuch waiting on the side called him softly.

"Your Highness..."

Li Shimin smiled and shook his head.

"It's okay." Li Shimin said, "This is what my children brought back."

After saying that, he took a bite.

"Well? It's really good, Guanyinbi, you should try it too." Li Shimin said.

"Aye..." Li Chengqian seemed to have something to say.

"What's wrong?" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian: "Just say it directly."

"Uncle Jingyang said that there is another box prepared for the grandfather, and said that the child should go to the grandfather with his mother." Li Chengqian said carefully.

Li Shimin looked at his children and sighed in his heart.

The adults' affairs affected the children.

The relationship between himself and His Majesty was tense, which made his children cautious about this.

Li Shimin felt mixed emotions.

As a grandson, Li Chengqian wanted to honor the grandfather, which was a matter of course. Why should he be so careful? It was nothing more than fearing that he would be angry.

"Chengqian, come here." Li Shimin put down the candied haws in his hand and waved to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian walked forward slowly.

Li Shimin held Li Chengqian's hand.

"It's a good thing that you are filial to your grandfather. Aye won't be angry. You don't have to do this. Do you understand?" Li Shimin said gently: "Your grandfather is also my grandfather. We are a family. Aye is very happy that you would bring it up to Aye. So, you don't have to be cautious or afraid. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Li Chengqian responded.

With Li Shimin's encouragement, Li Chengqian's eyes were obviously bright, and his tone was no longer fearful.

"Okay, let your mother accompany you there later." Li Shimin smiled, and then looked at Changsun: "Guanyin, I'm sorry to trouble you again."

"What are you talking about? It's all my duty." Changsun smiled gently.

The family had dinner happily, and then Changsun took Li Chengqian and the food box to Taiji Palace.

At this time, Li Yuan was still drinking in the palace, but he remembered what Li Fu had said to him before in the manor, and the wine was tasteless.

He knew in his heart that he would have to give in sooner or later.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Princess and the King of Zhongshan are here."

"Didn't they just come today?" Li Yuan said, "Let them in."

Li Yuan didn't have a good face for Li Shimin, but he was still very tolerant of this filial daughter-in-law, not to mention his eldest grandson.

"Auntie!" Li Chengqian entered the hall and ran to Li Yuan.

In his eyes, Auntie was much gentler than Aye.

"Chengqian, come here, come to Auntie." Li Yuan smiled and waved to Li Chengqian.

"Why did you think of coming to see Auntie today? Did you have fun playing outside?" Li Yuan looked at his grandson lovingly.

Li Yuan already knew about the three children leaving the palace.

"Auntie, you are so happy today. I made delicious food for you with Uncle Jingyang." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

At this time, Changsun also came to Li Yuan'sIn front of him, he bowed.

"No need to be polite." Li Yuan said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this is the food that Chengqian mentioned." Changsun handed the food box in her hand to the eunuch who was serving on the side.

After the eunuch checked it, he handed it to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan saw the red fruit in the food box.

"Hawthorn fruit?" Li Yuan was curious.

"Yes, Aung, please try it." Li Chengqian said: "Uncle Wang said that hawthorn fruit can improve people's appetite. If you can't eat, it can stimulate your appetite and can also promote qi and disperse blood stasis."

"Did King Jingyang teach you this?" Li Yuan asked with a smile.

"Yes, Uncle Wang told us. This afternoon, we worked with Uncle Wang." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Although they just sat there and washed the hawthorn fruit, for the three little princes who had never touched water, this was already considered work.

Normally, they don't have access to these chores. Even if it's hard, it's harder to practice archery in the martial arts field.

"Hahaha, good, good, try it, Aung." Li Yuan laughed happily.

"Not bad, not bad." Li Yuan said, "It's sweet and sour, much better than eating sour hawthorn fruit alone."

"Yeah, I don't think hawthorn fruit tastes good alone." Li Chengqian said, "But if the uncle wraps it with a layer of icing, it will taste good."

Changsun stood aside silently, watching the grandfather and grandson having fun.

If it can be like this all the time, the relationship between His Majesty and Erlang will be eased, and everyone will be happy, how great it would be.

She still has extravagant hopes in her heart, so she comes to Taiji Palace every day to pay respects and say hello.

What Erlang can't do, she does.

Li Fu returned to Jingyang Palace from the palace, and after dinner, he strolled in the yard to digest his food.

"My dear, there are still a lot of hawthorns in the kitchen. Are we just going to leave them there?" Xiao Tao asked.

"Of course not. If they are left there for a long time and no one eats them, wouldn't that be a waste?" Li Fu said, "Ask Liu Niang to find a few jars, clean them, and dry them. I will use them tomorrow."

Li Fu planned to can the remaining hawthorns.
