Li Yuan looked at Li Xiang, his good great-grandson, in astonishment, and immediately burst into laughter.
"Why, do you think the food here in Taiweng is much better than the one in Donggong?"
"Well, the food here in Taiweng is so delicious."
Li Xiang nodded vigorously. The serious look of the tiger-headed boy looked so naive.
Li Yuan laughed happily, took a sip of the wine, and waved his hands grandly while stroking his long beard.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to prepare one for you later, so you can take it back and share it with your father and your mother."
Li Xiang was overjoyed and quickly bowed politely to Li Yuan and said loudly.
"That's kind of me, Taiweng, but my great-grandson doesn't want to waste this food."
"Hey, Cheng Qian, you are really good at teaching children. At a young age, they already know how to be frugal."
Li Chengqian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his son's repeated teachings from his father over the past two days were at least in vain.
On the surface, he remained calm and bowed to Li Yuan with a hint of shyness.
Over there, Li Xiang took the initiative to stir up trouble.
"Yes, yes, I must learn to be thrifty, and also learn to endure hunger."
Li Yuan couldn't help but was stunned. "What do you mean, you have to learn how to endure hunger. How can you learn that skill? Is it possible that your father won't give you food?"
Li Chengqian had a black line on his face, and looked at his grandfather with extremely resentful eyes. No matter how good a father I am, there is no way I would be short of food for my own baby.
"Because I don't want to be separated from my father and mother." Li Xiang flattened his mouth and muttered softly.
Li Chengqian was stunned. What was going on was completely different from the lines he had told this boy before.
"You kid, what are you talking about?"
Li Xiang was frightened by his father's actions, and subconsciously jumped behind Li Yuan, then stuck out half of his head and said not to be outdone.
"Dad, look, you missed Grandpa and Taiwen a while ago, but they both went to Luoyang for dinner."
"If I eat less, maybe grandpa and Taiwen will have something to eat, and they won't leave us."
Li Chengqian was completely stunned. This kid didn't follow what he told him to do at all. He just let himself go.
He couldn't help but look down in anger and pointed his finger like a sword. "Come here for me."
Seeing Li Chengqian's extremely angry look, Li Yuan was so angry and funny that he quickly shouted.
"Okay! It's no big deal, he is also feeling sorry for his grandfather and Taiwen."
He turned his head and looked at his great-grandson Li Xiang who had an unconvinced face. With Li Yuan's sophistication, he could naturally tell that these were the true words of this little kid.
Otherwise, how could one describe His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Supreme Emperor as if they were going to Luoyang to beg for food.
After hugging the heavy Li Xiang, Li Yuan pinched his fleshy face and said happily.
"Little one, if you have such a heart, I will be happier than eating anything."
"You just feel free to eat, you will be fat, you know, that will make the prince happy."
Li Xiang said "oh" and nodded obediently, but when he saw his father's sullen face, he stared at him unhappily.
I couldn't help but whisper into Taiwen's ear.
"Taiwen, look at my dad, he wants to beat me again."
Li Yuan grinned and couldn't help but pinch the kid's face again.
"Okay, Taiweng will let you make the decision and ask your father not to beat you, but you have to have enough to eat, you know?"
Li Xiang nodded vigorously, and then started chewing happily again.
Seeing this scene, Li Chengqian couldn't help but murmured in a low voice. "Grandpa, are you too doting on him so much..."
"What's Taipa? I'm so old, why do I pamper my great-grandson?"
"..." Li Chengqian was so stunned by Li Yuan's words that he rolled his eyes and was speechless for a long time.
Li Yuan took a sip of the wine, took the chopsticks and threw it into his mouth, sipping the taste carefully, and then said slowly and leisurely.
"This kid is a bit rough, but he has been able to understand how to care for people since he was a child. He is a good kid.
You, don't keep a straight face at him all day long, like your father."
"...Yes, my grandson realizes his mistake."
Although from the bottom of his heart, Li Chengqian didn't feel that he was wrong, but since this was his own grandfather, could he still say that he was wrong?
I'm afraid that as soon as he finished speaking, his own father would come straight from the palace and kick him in the butt, creating an action movie of fatherly kindness and filial piety.
Li Yuan looked lovingly at his sweet grandson who was enjoying the meal, and saw that his mouth was full of oil after eating, so he took a handkerchief and wiped him with it.
Then he turned his head, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Chengqian."
"My grandson is here."
Looking at this obedient grandson with a low eyebrow, forget it, asking him is really better than asking that Cheng Sanlang who deserves a beating.
"Well, Zhongbao, hurry up and ask someone to make the next meal, and then ask my great-grandson to take it back to his mother to taste."
After Li Xiang ate happily and waved goodbye to Li Yuan frequently, he watched Li Chengqian, Li Xiang and his son holding hands and walking towards Da'an Palace.
Li Yuan's eyebrows were soft, and he couldn't help but think of Li Xiang's sincere words just now.
Come to think of it, Li Xiang might think that his father and mother would go to Luoyang to eat in the future, leaving him alone in Chang'an.
Li Yuan clenched his hands into fists, then slowly loosened them, took square steps, and strolled slowly outside the house.
At this moment, another rhythmic and cheerful music sounded in the distance. It must be that Yu Wenshi and others started their square dance training again.

Li Yuan's eyes looked at Da'an Palace, where he had lived for many years, with a sigh of relief.
"The national power of the Tang Dynasty increased greatly, and the population grew day by day, especially in Guanzhong."
"If we don't move the capital, Erlang, Chengqian, and even my great-grandson may have to travel back and forth between Chang'an and Luoyang in the future."
Zhongbao listened silently to Li Yuan's complaints, his face still as expressionless as if it were petrified.
After Li Yuan mumbled a few words, he seemed to speak casually.
"Zhongbao, what do you think of Luoyang?"
Zhongbao didn't expect that the Supreme Emperor would ask him, so he subconsciously answered without thinking.
"Whatever your Majesty thinks is good, this servant thinks is good."
"Stop cheating on me, I want to listen to the truth." Li Yuan raised his finger and nodded towards Zhongbao.
"This..." Zhongbao quickly lowered his figure, looking a little frightened.
"Moving the capital is a major social matter that affects our Tang Dynasty for generations to come. How dare you talk nonsense? I can only say that Your Majesty is the founder of the country. If you want to move the capital, you can only..."
Li Yuan stroked his long beard with a look of pride on his face. He was confident that although I abdicated, the Tang Dynasty was established by me alone.
I am the only one who can decide on the matter of moving the capital. Neither Erlang nor Cheng Qian nor his descendants can do it.
"Go, send someone to call that boy Cheng Sanlang over."
