A quarter of an hour later.
Li Shimin, dressed in plain clothes, walked side by side with Empress Changsun.
Empress Changsun was still holding her newborn child who was less than two years old in her arms.
His name is Li Zhi.
"Your Majesty, Kuan'er is really a great talent. If the sweet potato is real, then we can escape from the control of the family's fertile land. The entire Li family and even the people of the Tang Dynasty should be grateful to him!!"
Queen Changsun was amazed. This was the first time Kuan'er had helped the Li family.
This son of my own,
In the past, he looked like a dandy, but he is actually a unicorn! !
"Yes, Maid Guanyin, I can't estimate Kuan'er's contribution."
"Unfortunately……"
Li Shimin thought of the contents of the fourth rice paper.
"What's a pity?"
"No, no, Maid Guanyin, let's go."
Li Shimin shook his head.
Be the first to push open the inner courtyard door.
Inside.
Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Ke were all sitting, but their two daughters were missing.
Li Shimin frowned slightly.
It was quite common for little Sizi to not come to the family dinner.
But this time, she specially asked the imperial kitchen to make her favorite sweet and sour pork ribs, and she had been shouting for it just now, so how could she not be there?
Even in absence.
Where is the eldest daughter Li Lizhi?
Changle has perfect etiquette since she was a child. She must be the first to arrive at every family dinner.
This time, he wasn't even there...
In an instant.
Li Shimin thought of a possibility.
Something happened!
Something is definitely wrong! !
"what happened?"
Li Shimin's face turned gloomy instantly.
The three brothers were all afraid of Li Shimin. They looked at each other and hesitated to speak.
"explain!!"
Li Shimin shouted angrily.
"Yes, Father."
As the eldest son, Li Chengqian stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Father, just now the fourth brother had a conflict with the younger sister, and the younger sister ran away in anger, while Changle left with him to take care of the younger sister."
boom! !
Li Shimin's heart was like thunder.
Xiao Sizi was angry and ran away?
I, the great hero of the Li Tang royal family, and all the treasures in my hand that could solve his urgent needs, were angry and walked away? !
In an instant.
anger! !
Boundless anger surged into Li Shimin's heart.
"Father, this is my son's fault."
Li Tai did not see Li Shimin's livid face, but he was afraid of Li Shimin in his heart. He held up his hands in fear and said: "My son was just arguing with my little sister. I didn't expect her..."
"Snapped!!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Tai received a slap.
Li Tai was stunned.
This was the first time his father had hit him since he was a child.
Why did you hit him without even asking why?
"Asshole!!"
"I originally intended to hold this family banquet for Xiao Sizi. If it weren't for her, the family banquet would have been far away!!"
"Xiao Sizi helped me solve a lot of troubles, but in the end, I got pissed off by you, such a traitor, you bastard! Bastard!!"
Li Shimin was furious.
Li Chengqian and Li Ke had never seen Li Shimin so angry, and they were so scared that they curled up like kittens.
Li Tai was dumbfounded.
This family dinner is for...for Xiao Sizi?
She...she is so virtuous and capable! !
"Sir, you really embarrass me!!"
Li Shimin pointed at Li Tai with his trembling right hand, snorted coldly, and with anger in his heart, he quickly turned around and walked away.
This family dinner,
If there is no little Sizi, then nothing can be done! !
Li Tai froze on the spot.
Li Shimin left in such a hurry that he didn't even attend the family dinner. How much punishment he received afterwards! !
He panicked.
She looked fiercely at Empress Changsun, trying to seek protection from her mother.
However, Queen Changsun's eyes were all cold.
Li Zhi kept crying in his arms, but he just looked at Li Tai coldly! !
"Mother...mother..."
Li Tai trembled a little when he saw Empress Changsun coming.
"Snapped!!"
Another slap.
And there is no retention.
Li Tai's face was burning with pain.
"You traitor, go and beg your little sister for forgiveness, otherwise you will never come back to this imperial city!!"
"Get out, get out quickly!!"
Empress Changsun, who had always been kind to her children, looked like a shrew today.
Li Zhi cried even louder in her arms without comforting her. She only saw the rebellious Li Tai in her eyes.
"Yes Yes……"
Li Tai panicked and rolled and crawled out.
This family dinner ended unhappy.
Li Chengqian, who had been a passerby next to him, had eyes twinkling.
He was a little surprised by the attitude of his father, the emperor and his mother in handling this matter.
Some... doting on the little Sizi too much.
Doting on the little Sizi,
It's the same as... doting on Li Kuan.
"It seems that Gu's decision is correct."
Li Chengqian sighed and no longer had any illusions.
………………
Chaolu Hall.
Little Sizi was on the steps of his palace, holding his head and crying.
The palace maids and guards on both sides,
I was anxious and panicked, not knowing what to do.
"Your Highness Changle!!"
At this time, there was a eunuch with bright eyes.
Changle coughed, wiped some blood from the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, waved them away, and sat next to Xiao Sizi, patting her shoulders gently.
"Sizi, your fourth brother has this kind of character, don't worry about it."
Xiao Sizi didn't answer.
Changle continued to pat her shoulders gently to relieve her breathing, and asked his maid to come up with his other jade hand.
The maid was bringing some dishes.
It's sweet and sour pork ribs.
Hot sweet and sour pork ribs.
The aroma is delicious.
Little Sizi subconsciously raised his little head and saw the sweet and sour pork ribs with chopsticks beside it, ready to eat at any time.
"Xiao Sizi, eat it, my sister brought it out specially for you."
Changle smiled softly, his eyes full of endearment.
"Sister, Sizi... Humph! Sizi won't eat, Sizi is so angry!!"
Little Sizi turned his head away stubbornly.
Changle didn't care, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with chopsticks, and fed it to little Sizi's mouth.
"Okay, little Sizi, these sweet and sour pork ribs need to be eaten while they are hot."
Xiao Sizi still refused.
Changle laughed and continued: "Xiao Sizi, the second brother was also scolded by the fourth brother. He did nothing and was very calm. I asked him why and he said, do you care about the chattering of a mosquito? ?!”
"Look, the second brother doesn't care, so you're angry and crying? If the second brother knows this, he will be very disappointed in you, right?"
"Ah this..." Xiao Sizi sniffed, "Second brother...did you say that?!"
Eyes blinked.
Simple and sincere.
As if to say again, eldest sister, don’t lie to children.
"Yes, eldest sister has never lied to you."
"Ah, that's good, then Si Zi won't be angry either! Humph, Si Zi can do it!!"
Xiao Sizi wiped away her tears and immediately opened her mouth and bit into the sweet and sour pork ribs.
"How's it going? Is it delicious?"
Little Sizi nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "It's delicious, so delicious! Woohoo, it still tastes the same, Sizi wants to eat it!!"
"Okay, then let's eat as much as we can. If it's not enough, I'll ask Xiaocui to get it."
"Hmm, oh, that's right! Sister, you can eat it too, hehe, it's delicious!!"
"no problem."
The two sisters chatted and laughed while eating.
Not far away from them, Queen Changsun, who had originally been extremely angry, now had a softened expression and a smile on her face.
"It's Changle that makes people worry-free."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhi's loud cries reached his ears.
Queen Changsun was shocked.
"Your Majesty, why are you crying like this?"
"Don't cry, don't cry, the queen is here."
Queen Changsun was anxious and coaxed Li Zhi.
Under her experienced actions, Li Zhi gradually stopped crying and regained his smile.
