"I've met His Highness the Crown Prince." Li Shimin has always been a very polite person, and he behaves and speaks like this. He didn't see him for a moment, but now he saw Li Jiancheng in the prince's robe, and he quickly saluted.

Li Jiancheng is indeed a member of the Li family. He is also very handsome. In addition, he is a few years older than Li Shimin and has always been a character like Li Chengqian. In addition, when Li Yuan was under house arrest by Yang Guang, the family had no income and no food.

, Empress Dowager Dou needed to go out to find relatives for help, while he needed to take care of his younger brothers and sisters at home, including Li Shimin, Li Xuanba, Princess Pingyang and Li Yuanji.

At home, he is the eldest brother. Outside, he needs to be protected by his younger brothers and sisters. When he is wronged, he cannot speak out because you are the elder brother. In addition, Li Shimin was not a peaceful master when he was young.

, often causing trouble, and there was also an even more restless Li Yuanji. You can imagine how terrified the young Li Jiancheng lived. The world was still in the Sui Dynasty back then. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was like the sun in the sky, making people

Dazzling.

However, the biggest feeling that Li Jiancheng gives people is that he is gentle. His temperament is not as strong as the scorching sun, nor as cold as ice, but just gentle. In addition, he is already in his thirties, and his early military career and subsequent

Governing the country added a bit of majesty to his gentle temperament. A gentle temperament can produce a majestic person. Perhaps apart from him, there is only Zhu Biao, the crown prince of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Second brother, what are you talking about? Call me big brother." Li Jiancheng's luxury made him look simple. He stepped forward and took Li Shimin's hand. He asked with a warm smile on his face, "Second brother, listen.

You said you had a cold a few days ago, are you okay?"

Li Jiancheng's hand was big and warm. When he held Li Shimin's hand, it was neither heavy nor light, and he was so easy-going that Li Shimin was almost moved to tears. Unfortunately, the picture of his whole family dying was still in his mind at this time.

It didn't dissipate, so he coldly took out his hand and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. My brother is already fine."

"That's good, that's good. I happen to have some tea from Songzhou here. I'll give you some when the time comes. Have a drink and see. It tastes good." Li Jiancheng didn't care at all about his brother's actions, but said gently.

Advise.

"Brother, thank you, Your Highness. I'm used to drinking camellia." Li Shimin's words were a slap in the face. Li Jiancheng didn't care, but the people behind him didn't think so. A man in the clothes of a prince came over. He was only twenty years old.

Next year, he will be younger than Li Shimin anyway, but he is super handsome, and his handsomeness is a bit sinister. People can tell at a glance that he is not a good guy. He stood in front of Li Shimin and said, "His Royal Highness, you don't want your reward. You really don't know how to do it."

Lift up.”

Just as Li Shimin was about to say something, he heard Li Jiancheng say a little dissatisfied, "Yuanji, why did you not apologize for talking to your second brother?"

Li Yuanji was a little unhappy, but as Li Jiancheng was the prince, he had to abide by what he said. When he was about to apologize, Li Shimin stopped him and said, "No need, my brother is fine."

Li Yuanji didn't want to apologize at first. As soon as he heard this, he turned around and walked behind Li Jiancheng, then glared at Li Shimin, leaving Li Jiancheng helpless. This fourth brother had a very bad temper. In addition to his own words, sometimes even his father's words

As for why he treated Li Shimin like this, there is another allusion here. That is, when Li Shimin went to Yanmen Pass to rescue Yang Guang, he did not take him with him. Firstly, because he was still young, and secondly, it seemed that Li Shimin was also a middle-aged man.

He was a second-year-old boy who also had a bad speech. Li Yuanji had been doted on since he was a child. In addition, he was good at martial arts and handsome, so he was naturally unconvinced. Especially later, when Li Shimin's official position became higher and higher, he became even more

Not happy anymore.

Later, when the world became the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanji participated in several battles, and the results were not satisfactory, while Li Shimin was the worst and undefeated, so Liangzi was formed.

Of course, this is just a process. When Li Yuan appeared, everyone began to take turns to come forward to pay tribute. Then Li Yuan, the emperor who had been a little too fond of girls in recent years, said a few words of encouragement, while a group of ministers were watching.

With these people.

The process was complicated and not interesting, so everyone was waiting for the banquet to begin. After all, in the early Tang Dynasty, everyone's life was still very tight, and the founder of the Tang Dynasty was of mixed race, and they ate more meat. This was not suitable for many ministers.

That's a good thing.

Looking at the various meats served in plates, most of them are chicken, rabbit, venison, mutton and all kinds of wild meat. Don't even think about beef.

Li Yuan was not interested in the meat, so he picked up a fruit at random, took a bite, and then chatted with his friend Pei Ju next to him.

Li Tai, on the other hand, cut a piece of meat with a knife and put it into his mouth first. He thought it tasted pretty good, and then he cut another piece of Beibei and handed it to him.

The puppy was greedy and quickly finished a piece of meat. Then, not satisfied, it licked Li Tai's fingers, which made Li Tai laugh softly.

Originally this was a trivial matter, but this kind of thing made one person feel dissatisfied. This person was his uncle Li Yuanchang, who was almost the same age as Li Chengqian.

Li Yuanchang was the seventh son of Li Yuan, and his status was considered noble. However, he was not born to Queen Dou, so he could not hang out with Li Shimin and the others. However, this man later had a good relationship with Li Chengqian, probably because of his age.

Historically, this boy was good at calligraphy and drawing horses, and his handwriting was wonderful. He drew eagles, falcons, pheasants, and rabbits, which impressed the masters at the time. He was also good-looking, and he was already a handsome boy at a young age. However, although his handwriting was

He is pretty good, he can draw pretty well, and he knows a lot about various things. However, he has a fatal flaw - a strong jealousy.

Because his mother-in-law is not a queen, she is extremely jealous.

However, because his mother is still there and Li Yuan likes her very much, she is very arrogant and domineering. In addition, he is willing to flatter her up and down, so she gives people a good impression.

He was very restless and became very bored after sitting there for a while. When he turned around, he happened to see Li Tai feeding the puppy. His eyes lit up and he quietly walked over and grabbed Li Tai's hand.

He threatened in a low voice, "Okay, boy, if you feed meat to the dog, I will definitely tell my father and I will arrest you."

Li Tai was stunned for a moment. When he looked up, he saw that it was Li Yuanchang. This kid was a little devil. No matter whether it was in the palace or outside, he couldn't afford to offend him. Even his father couldn't afford to offend him. If he had been there, he would have been

I avoided it, but today I couldn't, so I had to beg for mercy, "I don't have it, Uncle Seventh Emperor."

"You still said no. I've seen it all. Do you want me to ask someone to skin the dog and take a look at its cramps?" Despite his young age, Li Yuanchang's ruthlessness seems to be unusually strong.

"No, no." Li Tai broke away from his hand, hugged Beibei tightly, and said fearfully.

"It's okay if you don't want it. If you want to give this puppy to me, how about I don't tell others?" Li Yuanchang asked proudly. Li Taigang was about to say no, but he heard Li Shimin's words, "Since seventh brother likes Qingque, I will give the puppy to you."

Give the dog to Uncle Seventh Emperor."

"I..." Li Tai's chubby face was very cute, but his cute eyes were full of tears at this time. Looking at the puppy in his arms and his father's eyes, he still didn't say the sentence of "no", because

Li Chengqian told him before that his father was in danger and many people wanted to cause trouble for him. Although he is young, it does not mean that he is ignorant.

Although he was very reluctant to give up, he finally stretched out his chubby little hand and handed the puppy over and whispered, "Here it is, take good care of Beibei."

"Okay." Li Yuanchang grabbed the back of Beibei's neck and lifted the puppy up. Beibei felt very comfortable. As soon as he barked, Li Yuanchang pinched his mouth and said with a smile, "I'll go over first."

, I will find a good place for him to live later. By the way, Qingque, don’t be sad, Uncle Qi will give you delicious food then."

Looking at Li Yuanchang who left proudly, Li Tai was just a child after all. Tears slowly flowed down his cheeks. He covered his eyes with his hands and spoke in a low voice. Li Shimin could hear it, it was Beibei.

He suddenly realized that he was really useless, unmanly, and embarrassing. At the same time, his resentment slowly began to rise.

The eldest grandson cried when he saw his baby bump, so he had to come over to take care of him, give him a hug, and let him be quiet for a while before going home.

The banquet is still going on, there are singing and dancing, not many clothes, and too many people talking, which is unbearable. However, Li Shimin's family seems to be out of tune with the people here. Everyone is chatting with people they know well, but Li Shimin feels like he is being ignored.

It's like abandoning it.

Unknowingly, time passed quickly. After taking a nap, Li Tai felt better. He was still very comfortable leaning in the arms of his eldest grandson. Since his sister was born, it was almost impossible for him to be so close to his mother.

.

Li Tai looked around and found neither Li Yuanchang nor Beibei, which was a bit disappointing.

At this moment, Li Yuanchang walked towards here with a proud look on his face, followed by a warrior, holding something like a casserole in his hand, which was still steaming. Before he got closer, a scent of aroma filled his nostrils.

Seeing Li Tai hurriedly getting out of his eldest grandson's arms, he smiled and directed the warrior to put the casserole on the table, and then said with a smile, "Qingque, uncle really liked that dog just now.

Just take it away, how about I compensate you with this pot of meat?"

Li Tai looked at him in confusion. It wasn't until Li Yuanchang placed a large piece of meat on his plate that he believed his uncle's words. He nodded, reached out and picked up a bone and started to chew on it.

It tastes so delicious. Li Tai has never eaten anything so delicious.

Changsun and Li Shimin seemed to have thought of something, and their faces turned pale.

"How is it, Qingque, is it delicious?" Li Yuanchang asked with concern.

"Well, thank you, Uncle Seventh Emperor. It smells really good." Li Tai looked at Li Yuanchang with a silly smile and said, then he remembered something, "Uncle Seventh Emperor, here is my Beibei, I want to meet it."

"Well, do you really want to see it?" Li Yuanchang said with a strange smile.

"Yes, I want to see it, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night." Li Tai looked up at him innocently and said.

"Okay, but haven't you seen them all?" Li Yuanchang stretched out his hand and showed Li Tai a sleeve made of leather.

The color of the fur looked so familiar. Li Tai looked at it strangely, then looked at Li Yuanchang's arrogant face and the meat he just ate. As if he thought of something, his face suddenly turned pale. He pointed at Li Yuanchang and said, "What do you mean?

What is...?"

"That's right, I like its fur very much. Don't you like eating meat, so I will give it to you." Li Yuanchang looked at Li Tai's face with an expression that was really proud of him.

And Li Tai remembered that the thing he had just eaten was baby beibei, and felt that his throat was itchy and something was about to burst out of his stomach. He pressed his white hands on it, and then he started to vomit wildly.
