royal palace.
The inner court.
Because Li Shimin announced a family banquet,
The inner courtyard is particularly lively today, and various delicacies are constantly being brought in.
It was much richer than the previous family dinners.
at this time.
Prince Li Chengqian, King Li Tai of Wei, King Li Ke of Shu, and Princess Li Lizhi of Changle arrived one after another.
Li Ke, the king of Shu, was born to Concubine Yang, the daughter of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. He was a side wife, so he was not qualified to attend the family banquet. However, Li Shimin liked him so much that he sent someone to find him every family banquet.
The four brothers and sisters were sitting there, chatting.
its content.
Most of them are giant grains and disaster victims that are popular at the moment.
"I can't believe that our Li family has such an outstanding person who can provide food for hundreds of thousands of victims. I really don't know who this person is! But I think he has deep merit and fame. He will definitely be the leader of our Li family and even the entire Tang Dynasty. Outstanding person in the world!!"
"By the way, eldest brother, third brother and eldest sister, do you know who this person is?"
King Li Tai of Wei raised his lips slightly, curious about this character.
Li Chengqian laughed, shook his head and said, "Since this person has decided to hide his merit and fame, I have no way of knowing."
Li Tai looked at Li Lizhi.
Li Lizhi is dressed in plain clothes. Even in plain clothes, her stunning appearance cannot be concealed.
Beautiful as picturesque, beauty embodies heaven and man.
Perhaps, the natural beauty that people often say comes from her.
Or perhaps, even her natural beauty was a disparagement of the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty.
only.
In this appearance, the complexion is somewhat pale, and the person is holding a handkerchief and wiping his red lips from time to time.
"Ahem, fourth brother, I don't know as well as the eldest brother."
Li Lizhi coughed and looked extremely weak.
Li Tai sighed and said: "Then it seems that none of my brothers can find out on their own. Okay, let's not talk about this. What about Li Kuan? He won't come again this time, right?"
"And the little sister didn't come either. Tsk, maybe this guy took the little sister away again. He taught her bad habits all day long and didn't even attend the family dinner. Let's see what he can do!!"
Li Tai snorted coldly, his tone was extremely unkind.
When Li Kuan is mentioned, the scar on the left side of his head still hurts.
Several other people did not answer the call.
They knew very well that Li Tai and Li Kuan had a feud and it was difficult to take sides.
At this moment, a milky sound sounded.
"Damn it! Li Tai, you are not allowed to speak ill of my second brother!!"
Little Sizi came over with his teeth clenched, very angry.
Her father went back to change clothes on the way to bring her here. He couldn't attend the family banquet wearing a dragon robe, right? Moreover, his eyes were slightly red and swollen, which also needed to be treated.
That's why Xiao Sizi was asked to come over first.
Being so close to Li Kuan, Xiao Sizi always hated this kind of occasion. If it weren't for eating sweet and sour pork ribs, she wouldn't come here.
as expected.
As soon as I arrived, I heard someone saying bad things.
"Tsk, little sister, you are here."
Li Tai walked out of his seat, came to Xiao Sizi, and said meaningfully: "Little sister, I am your third brother, and you actually called me by my first name, which is disrespectful."
"You didn't dare to speak to me like this before, why? You relied on Li Kuan to support you, so you gave up on etiquette?!"
"I advise you to have less contact with that guy. This food disaster has swept the entire north, with hundreds of thousands or even millions of victims affected. There were natural disasters before and aristocratic families after. This is a huge challenge to my Li family. From the disaster In the past three months, which one of our brothers and sisters has not taken action? Which one of us has not given his best in these months?"
"Where do you think your second brother Li Kuan is? Huh! I've never seen him from the beginning to the end. He's only been focusing on his own life."
"A few months ago, I helped the victims in the west of the city take care of their homes for a few hours. I was exhausted mentally and physically. When I came back, I accidentally cursed you a few times, and that guy came to beat me!!"
"Haha, I don't think he is very powerful externally, but he is very capable internally. He is really heartless and has no loyalty, filial piety or family affection!!"
"You are so close to such a dirty person, what should you do in the future?!"
This is why Li Shimin banned Li Kuan in the first place.
The two brothers fought, and it was Li Kuan's fault, but Li Kuan was never seen during the natural disaster. Li Shimin thought he was a playboy and was angry, so he banned him.
"you!"
"Damn, damn, Sizi is so angry, Li Tai, ahhh! You're going too far!!"
"Second brother, his contribution is huge, much more than your contribution when you go out to the city to show off!!"
Xiao Sizi was very angry.
In this disaster, all the food was provided by my second brother.
"Oh? What credit does he have?"
Li Tai is a little weird.
"Hmph! This time the food was all taken out from the second brother's house. If it weren't for the second brother, my father would still be bald and thinking about the food problem."
"How about it? This is such a huge contribution, even Sizi can't match it with both hands!!"
Xiao Sizi was extremely proud as he spoke, raising his head like a peacock, very proud of his second brother.
"Pfft!" Li Tai couldn't help but laugh, "He provided the huge amount of food? Just him?!"
"Hahaha, little sister, little sister, I told you that you shouldn't stay with this kind of person for too long. You've learned to lie, and it's still a big lie!!"
"If you follow him, you will only become a heartless person. Look at you, and then look at my brothers and sisters."
"The eldest brother has a haggard face, and the eldest sister has been coughing since the disaster. You followed Li Kuan, and your face became a little whiter and tenderer. You ate really well!!"
"The clothes are also carefully selected by that guy, they are extremely exquisite!!"
"Looking at your gorgeous clothes now, I think even this shabby bag looks rich and powerful."
Li Tai narrowed his eyes slightly and reached for the treasure bag with his hand.
Last time he accidentally saw something new in the treasure bag and was very jealous.
"Ah, don't grab it!!"
Xiao Sizi was shocked and quickly blocked it.
But she had just been weaned, and her strength was no match for Li Kuan. She pulled and pulled with her hands, and kept moving towards Li Kuan. Just when she was about to be pulled over, a shout came.
"Third brother, that's enough!!"
Li Chengqian couldn't help but speak.
"Third brother, the eldest brother is right. Don't go too far. You and I both know what this treasure bag means to my little sister."
The weak Changle couldn't help but speak.
When Li Tai heard this, he had no choice but to let go.
But the little Sizi over there was still pulling frantically. Under the inertia, the whole person held the treasure bag and fell to the ground with a "plop".
It was a hard fall.
The little guy burst into tears.
"Damn it! Li Tai, Sizi hates you!!"
Little Sizi's eyes were scarlet, and she cried helplessly. She stood up and ran away from the inner courtyard.
"Little sister, where are you going!!"
Li Tai spoke loudly, but Xiao Sizi was just running away, so he had no energy to reply to him.
Li Tai was a little panicked now.
If you make your little sister cry, the other brothers and sisters will not hide it from you. It will be terrible if your father finds out.
never mind.
The worst case scenario is that he takes the initiative to admit his mistake and is therefore banned.
Li Tai thought so.
And at this time.
Changle stood up from his seat and came to his side. His eyes were deep and he said calmly: "Third brother, you have gone too far."
Let go of this sentence.
She then walked out and chased Xiao Sizi.
