Seeing Cheng Chubi following Li Chengqian towards the distance with a smile on his face, several elite officials from the left palace looked at each other.
However, since the prince had an edict, they could only stay far behind with the eunuchs.
After Li Chengqian and Cheng Chubi walked a certain distance, they looked back and saw those people who were more than twenty steps behind.
Then he let out a breath of relief and sat down on a clean boulder beside the road in an inconspicuous manner.
The prince's majesty and reserve were gone, and he looked like a puddle of mud thrown onto a stone.
"...Brother Chu Bi, do you think it's a little boring here?"
"Your Highness." Cheng Chubi glanced behind him. Fortunately, the eunuchs and guards were far away and could not hear their words.
Li Chengqian waved his hands lazily.
"It doesn't matter. On weekdays, if I feel bored, I will come here and walk around.
Relax, without Gu's instructions, those people will not dare to come close."
Cheng Chubi suddenly realized that this seemed to be a place where the prince could relax his mind.
Li Chengqian pointed to a big tree on the right side of the stone, and then pointed to the pavilion a few steps ahead.
"By the way, there is an ant nest over there, and there is an ant nest over here. These two nests of ants often have disputes. I wonder how they are doing today?"
"By the way, look..." Li Chengqian reached into his sleeve, took out a small oil paper bag, and took out a one-inch square piece of bread.
The ruthless ant killer Cheng Chubi's eyes suddenly lit up. This piece of dough must have been mixed with arsenic.
Let them drag this thing into the hole, tsk tsk tsk, without boiling water, it will definitely cause heavy casualties to the two nests of ants.
Cheng Chubi quickly suggested, "Just one piece, wouldn't it be enough to have two nests of ants?"
Li Chengqian smiled proudly. "Don't worry. Based on my experience, you can't feed these ants too much, or they won't be able to finish them all."
"If they are arguing, just use food to disperse them, so you don't have to fight and kill them."
Look at this kind-hearted ant patron saint breaking bread and spreading it on the grass.
Cheng Chubi reluctantly showed a smile and looked around indifferently.
I don’t think you and I have anything to talk about. We have different paths and we don’t want to work together.
#####
Cheng Chubi, who was so idle that his balls ached, felt very bored. Looking at the ants crawling on the food, his feet became extremely itchy.
If Li Chengqian hadn't been squatting there, he would have definitely stepped over to let his thoughts flow through.
The bored Cheng Laosan had no choice but to find something to say in order to keep himself from being bored.
"By the way, Your Highness, where is your eldest grandson? Why don't you let him accompany you here to relax?"
Li Chengqian continued to break the dough and spread it out without raising his head, his tone was very calm and authentic.
"Changsun Qing has left the palace. He must have gone to tell my uncle the news he just learned."
"Chang Sunqing is actually quite good-natured, but he just listens to my uncle's words too much."
"No matter how big or small, everything can be done, alas..."
There was a sense of helplessness in these words. Uncle, isn't he Changsun Wuji?
Cheng Chubi couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he thought that he had been in the Tang Dynasty for such a long time and had yet to pay homage to his eldest grandson.
"It seems that His Highness has a good uncle who is always caring."
The smile on Li Chengqian's face faded, and he sprinkled the last bit of bread crumbs down the road with some boredom.
"It's not bad...my uncle is just nagging a little bit. He has to express his opinions on everything I do, and his control is more lenient than my mother."
Cheng Chubi really didn't expect that Li Chengqian would have so much to complain about his uncle, even though he had obviously tolerated it.
Tsk tsk... I guess this uncle, the eldest grandson, is none of my business.
"It's almost noon, and there are not many outsiders today. Come on, come and have dinner with me. Let's chat while we eat."
"These days, I have always wanted to know your experience in treating my grandfather, but unfortunately I have never seen my dear brother."
Cheng Chubi chuckled. "It would be better for us to talk about something else. While eating, talking about the three-way problem can easily affect appetite."
"???" Li Chengqian looked confused. It took him a long time to realize what the third route meant.
He pointed at Cheng Chubi dumbfounded, shook his head and walked forward.
"This is too vulgar to say, but it is really a problem of the third way, haha..."
Seeing that the gentle prince didn't take it seriously, and even learned to spit out the fragrance himself, Cheng Chubi pursed his lips and quickly followed.
Cheng Chubi sat blankly, watching the eunuch bring... the nutritionally balanced Donggong set meal.
The Tang Dynasty version is served with a bowl of rice, a bowl of Tang Dynasty flavored soup, a plate of fish and meat, a bowl of stewed meat, and a plate of melons and fruits.
"That's it?" Cheng Chubi stared blankly at the heartbreakingly simple Donggong set meal in front of him, and his whole body felt bad.
The eunuch in front of him glanced at the deputy commander Togiya Zuonai, who looked a little confused, and didn't know how to answer.
"What? Could it be that Cheng Qing thinks it's not to your liking?"
At this moment, Li Chengqian, who maintained the demeanor of a prince, put down the bowl he had just picked up and looked over here.
"It's nothing... I would like to thank Your Highness for the food." Cheng Chubi looked at the East Palace set menu with a look of death.
It was as if I had returned to the time when I had just traveled to Lao Cheng's house. Eating had become a responsibility and obligation, rather than a pleasure.
Eating the East Palace Set Meal like chewing wax, Cheng Chubi's expression was dull and numb, just like a eminent monk.
Just when Cheng Chubi imagined himself participating in the activity of remembering the bitter and thinking of the sweet, he was swallowing these meals hard.
Li Chengqian put down the bowl, picked up a silk scarf, wiped his mouth, and smiled at Cheng Chubi.
"You're done eating alone. Cheng Qing, you can use it later."
#####
Cheng Chubi turned his head and looked over, seeing the dishes in front of Li Chengqian that seemed to be untouched.
He glanced down at the tasteless dishes in front of him, and at least they had all seen the bottom.
"Your Highness, do you have no appetite for food?" Cheng Chubi put down the bowl and chopsticks and looked at Li Chengqian's thin figure, which looked very frail.
Li Chengqian was about to nod his head subconsciously when he saw the eunuch who was collecting the leftover water for him, shook his head slowly and said.
"Gu's teacher once said that a gentleman should seek the way but not food. If you don't have enough food, you will be full all day long and have no purpose..."
"Even my father appreciates these words very much. As a son and minister alone, there is no way to disrespect teachers and Taoism."
Cheng Chubi smashed his mouth. Is this kid Li Chengqian stupid because he can't read? It's your business whether you eat or not. Cheng must fill his stomach after all.
Cheng Chubi finished the bowl in a few seconds and handed the empty bowl to the eunuch waiting beside him. "Please give me another bowl."
"Please give me another bowl."
"Please give me another bowl. By the way, there's not enough food, please give me some more..."
