Chapter 52 Why Li Xiang is not my son! (Please read on)
Yankangfang, Prince Wei's Palace.
Li Tai was sitting in front of the table, devouring the dishes in front of him.
As a fat man, one can tell from his figure that Li Tai is very keen on satisfying his appetite.
"Aye, you said that my elder brother..."
Li Xin spoke hesitantly as he mentioned how Li Xiang had brought him together and lifted him up when he was down.
Hearing this, Li Tai was stunned.
After a moment's silence, he sighed.
"After all, we are brothers. When we are in front of outsiders, we will still help you sincerely."
Li Xin asked hesitantly: "Aye, you mean..."
Seeing that he was still like this, Li Tai put down his bowl and chopsticks with a sharp look.
"Do you think that with Li Xiang's intelligence, he can't see through your little tricks?"
"Uh..." Li Xin nodded awkwardly.
"If you were Li Xiang, what would you do?" Li Tai asked again.
"I...I will..."
As Li Xin thought about it, he couldn't help but shiver.
"Are you scared now?" Li Tai snorted, and said angrily, "It's all thanks to Li Xiang that he cares about his brotherhood. If he had tried to take advantage of your situation, you would have lost face all over Java today!"
Li Xin was speechless and felt scared.
While feeling scared, my impression of Li Xiang also changed.
He continued to tell Li Tai what happened next, and only after he finished speaking did he look up and notice his father's somewhat stunned expression.
"I thought Li Xiang was really out to trick me, but I didn't expect he would consider the relationship between uncle and nephew."
He laughed at himself again: "Yes, since you care about the brotherhood, how can you forget me, your uncle?"
As he spoke, he felt that Li Xin looked hideous.
Look at Li Xiang! Then look at you!
Li Xin felt his father's unfriendly gaze and shuddered subconsciously.
"Go read a book!" Li Tai snorted, "All you do is hang out! How disrespectful!"
Li Xin didn't say anything and ran away with his tail between his legs.
Halfway through his escape, he was suddenly stopped by Li Tai.
"stop!"
He didn't dare to delay and turned around quickly.
"From now on, if your elder brother comes to look for you, you can go and play with him."
"Okay, yeah!" Li Xin said and turned around and slipped away.
Li Tai picked up the bowl and chopsticks again and sighed.
How great it would be if Li Xiang was my son!
As I thought about it, I felt depressed. My mood got so bad that I ate three less bowls of rice at night.
……
Li Xiang did not forget the agreement with Li Mingda. He bought two cute little sugar figurines from the sugar figurine shop in the East Market, and also bought two round fans with plum blossoms painted on them, and then walked towards the imperial palace.
He originally wanted to buy a rattle, but then he thought that he was the child, so he gave up the idea.
But the longevity lock was available for purchase, and he bought two, one for him and one for Li Mingda.
After returning to the palace, the first place he went to was Lizheng Hall.
He prepared two servings of the dish, both of which were non-greasy versions, and asked Li Wei to take one to the Eastern Palace for Li Chengqian, and he took the other to find Li Shimin.
Fortunately, there was still some time before dinner. When Li Xiang was carrying the food box and walking through Qianhua Gate, he saw Li Shimin dancing with a sword at the entrance of the palace.
"Aung!" He waved at Li Shimin from afar, as enthusiastic as an ordinary grandson meeting his grandfather.
When Li Shimin heard Li Xiang's call, he handed the sword to Wang De, and then took the towel from his hand and wiped his face.
Just as he finished wiping his face and looked up, Li Xiang also approached. Li Shimin saw the food box in his hand and asked curiously, "Xiang'er, what is this?" "My grandson found a way to make money outside, and this is it."
Li Xiang lifted the food box to the level of his face and flicked it with his fingers.
"Oh?" Li Shimin became interested and asked with a smile, "Looking at this situation, are you going to open a restaurant?"
"No one is wiser than Old Man." Li Xiang flattered him, which made Old Li feel very comfortable.
"Okay, stop standing here and follow me back to the palace."
Li Shimin called Li Xiang and followed him back to the Lizheng Hall.
When they got to the hall, Li Xiang opened the food box and took out the special preparations that Fubao had made under his instructions.
"Hmm, it smells very good." Li Shimin sniffed and looked surprised.
When I looked down, I felt even happier.
He said to Li Xiang approvingly: "Xiang'er really loves me and knows that this is what I want!"
As he said this, he picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up some.
Wang De wanted to stop him, but was glared at by Li Shimin.
He couldn't wait to pick up a piece of braised beef and put it in his mouth.
Then he laughed and scolded, "Boy, are you going to sell beef?"
"How dare I, grandson? This restaurant only sells mutton. The beef is only a special supply for Grandfather."
Li Xiang nodded and said, "Aunt has rheumatism, so it's best not to eat mutton, but you can eat some beef."
"Well, you have a conscience." Li Shimin looked at him approvingly.
After holding it in for so many days, Mr. Li is really getting tired of it.
Of course, we can't let him hold it in all the time. It's okay to have some meat occasionally to satisfy his hunger.
As for not eating beef...
Who in this hall dares to sue me?
"Where is my aunt?" Li Xiang asked again when he didn't see Li Mingda.
Fubao was holding the things he bought for Li Mingda in his arms.
When Li Shimin heard Li Xiang's question, his face froze.
It’s bad, I forgot about my baby daughter.
Li Xiang knew what was going on as soon as he saw it, and hurried to the side hall to call Li Mingda.
This grandfather, in order to eat delicious food, even forgot about his daughter!
"Aunt, look, I brought you a sugar man and a round fan - ah, look, this is a longevity lock, one for you and one for me."
Li Xiang showed the small items to Li Mingda like he was presenting a treasure, and finally solemnly hung the longevity lock on Li Mingda's body.
Li Mingda smiled faintly and let Li Xiang hang the longevity lock on her body.
After Li Xiang finished hanging the lock, she picked up the longevity lock and helped Li Xiang hang it with a smile.
"The elephant will surely live a long life!"
"Okay, okay, come and eat."
The daughter-slave was unhappy again and called Li Mingda to come and have dinner with him.
"Ah."
Li Mingda grabbed Li Xiang's hand and pulled him to have dinner with Li Shimin.
After sitting down, Li Xiang put his hands on his face, leaned his elbows on the table, and told Li Shimin and Li Mingda interesting stories after leaving the palace. His storytelling was humorous and made Li Mingda laugh from time to time.
The more Lao Li listened, the more admiration he showed. Finally, after hearing Li Xiang's profit-sharing plan, he couldn't help but say "good".
Caring for brothers and uniting with friends, Xiang'er is indeed like me!
Old Li couldn't help but think of the time when he was a young master in Taiyuan.
