Chapter 7 A man will remain a boy until he dies
Once this idea came to his mind, Lao Li could no longer suppress the thought in his mind.

What if Xiang'er is taught badly by Gao Ming? What if Xiang'er is not close to me? What if...

The result was that when Mr. Li woke up the next morning, he had a pair of dark circles under his eyes.

Fortunately, today was a day off and there was no need to attend court, so Li Shimin got up early and sent someone to the East Palace to announce the oral order.

Li Chengqian didn't take it seriously at first, but when he heard the content of the oral order, he felt terrible.

"Wang De, what does Father mean?"

Seeing that Li Chengqian was about to get red-hot again, Li Xiang, who was originally feeling very happy, suddenly became alert.

He quickly smiled and said, "Eunuch Wang, wait a moment. I want to talk to my father."

As he said this, he pulled Li Chengqian and winked at him.

Li Chengqian took a deep look at Wang De and walked away. Li Xiang had no choice but to smile at Wang De and follow Li Chengqian to the inner hall.

"Xiang'er, that old..."

Li Chengqian felt something was wrong halfway through his words.

After all, in front of his son, he couldn't say "old thing" or "old man". Otherwise, his son would learn from him, and what would he do with him in the future?

"Don't worry, Father. This is actually a good thing in my opinion."

Li Xiang smiled and comforted him.

"Good news? Humph!" Li Chengqian swung his sleeves and said, "I think you are just greedy for fame and fortune, and for your grandfather's favor, and you want to abandon me!"

There is a lot of jealousy in the words.

Li Xiang stretched out his hand and twisted himself imperceptibly to suppress the feeling.

This is my father, this is my father!
This hint still didn't seem strong enough, so Li Xiang mentally strengthened himself again.

The throne! The throne!
Oh, when I think about it this way, I find Li Chengqian cute.

"Father, if I go to Grandfather's place, I can also establish a channel of communication between you and Grandfather, right?" Li Xiang tried his best to smile cutely: "When we get to Lizheng Palace, I will persuade Grandfather with emotion and reason, and I will definitely make Grandfather agree to go to Lizheng Palace during the day and return to the East Palace at night. Then..."

Li Chengqian was not stupid after all. After hearing this, he understood the significance of this matter.

Yesterday, Li Xiang had fully demonstrated his value. For Li Chengqian, he definitely did not want to throw away this external brain.

He is brave and resourceful, and most importantly, his son naturally stands by him - is there anyone more trustworthy than his own son?

Besides, it is a good thing that Xiang'er can go to his father. Isn't that round-faced fat chicken just relying on his father's favor and hanging around in front of his father to show off his presence whenever he has nothing to do?

Eh? This name... Li Chengqian thought for a moment - ah, it turned out that Xiang'er pointed at the owl and called it last night, and he remembered it. It's just right to use it to describe Qingque'er.

"Now that I have Xiang'er, I can rest assured!" Li Chengqian said happily.

Li Xiang also felt a headache. He also wanted to leave the Eastern Palace and sneak into Li Shimin's lap to show his presence. But the problem was that Li Chengqian was his father. If he couldn't keep an eye on him, he would run like a wild dog on the road to death. At that time, he would inevitably be implicated, and then the whole family would be exiled to Qianzhou...

Li Xiang really didn't want to experience that kind of life, nor could he experience it at all.

After convincing Li Chengqian, Li Xiang's journey to Lizheng Hall went much more smoothly.

Wang De was also puzzled. The prince went in angrily and came out smiling. Could it be that the emperor's grandson gave him some kind of love potion?

However, being in the palace, a dangerous place, Wang De knew very well that he should not ask questions that he shouldn't ask, nor should he be curious, as it would be easy to die without knowing how he died.

Li Xiang came forward and said with a cute face: "Eunuch Wang, let's go." Thanks to Li Chengqian, Li Xiang rode in Li Chengqian's special sedan chair. Wang De followed closely behind and refused Li Xiang's invitation to ride with him several times.

In order to show respect to Li Shimin, after arriving at Qianhua Gate, Li Xiang got off the sedan chair and prepared to walk in.

As soon as I entered the gate, I heard someone shouting in the distance.

"Block the door for me!"

Looking in the direction of the voice, Li Xiang discovered that the person shouting was Li Shimin who was running.

Li Xiang:?
Are you people in the Tang Dynasty so scientific? Do you also run early in the morning?
"Hey, hurry up, what are you still standing there for?" Li Shimin shouted again: "The rabbit ran over!"

Li Xiang then noticed that his grandfather was chasing rabbits...

For a moment, Li Xiang felt a little devastated. He originally thought that the record in history books about this grandfather chasing rabbits in the palace was fabricated, but it seems... it is true.

Men remain young until they die.

When Li Xiang lowered his head, he saw a gray figure on the ground running towards him.

After all, he had been a soldier and had practiced martial arts... He looked at the rabbit calmly and calmly, and when he got close, he bent his waist, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the rabbit's ears.

The rabbit was grabbed by the ears and kicked vigorously, trying to bite Li Xiang. However, the position of the rabbit was too tricky and it could not launch an effective counterattack.

“Hahahaha… we finally captured this beast!”

Li Shimin walked over and looked at the rabbit in Li Xiang's hand with satisfaction and a little surprise.

"Xiang'er, you have pretty good skills. Have you practiced in the East Palace?"

While speaking, he put his hand on his waist without leaving any trace.

This person can't refuse to accept his old age.

"My grandson knows a little bit of boxing."

Li Xiang was holding the rabbit, and said in some confusion: "Please forgive me for not being able to greet you while I have the rabbit in my hand."

"You are my grandson, why do you have to be so polite?"

Li Shimin was obviously in a good mood and didn't care much about these empty formalities: "I have been waiting for you for a long time, and now you have accomplished such a great feat... Let's go, let's talk while we walk."

Li Xiang nodded, but the rabbit in his arm was still kicking. He stretched out his hand and broke the rabbit's neck, which made the rabbit calm down.

Li Shimin was walking in front and didn't pay attention to Li Xiang's actions. He was chatting with him with a smile.

"Your Uncle Nine and Aunt Jinyang also live in Lizheng Palace, but you don't have to worry. I brought them up, and they are about your age, so they will definitely be close to you."

"Grandson saves."

Li Xiang remembered that since the death of Empress Changsun, her two young daughters, Li Zhi and Princess Jinyang, had been kept by Li Shimin and raised personally.

Speaking of Princess Jinyang, she was Li Shimin's most beloved daughter, and the princess' biography had the most words in it.

However, history does not record the year she died, so according to speculation, she would not live beyond this year.

Li Xiang was thinking about this when he suddenly heard Li Shimin's surprised and anxious voice.

"You...how did you kill the rabbit?!"
