Under the almost strong pressure from Queen Changsun, Fang Chen had no choice but to sit down, but kept his head down. How could a lone wolf be willing to blend in with the group of dragons?

So from the moment everyone sat down, Fang Chen became an ascetic, neither hearing nor seeing, nor listening nor speaking.

The first three people who saw all this were heartbroken.

To put it simply, if Fang Chen were placed in later generations, he would have a more professional explanation.

"Mental disorder!"

He would never be the first to speak, and he even said that he was always on guard when talking to others.

Regarding the previous refugee incident, it can only be said that he has a kind heart, but Xiaofangzhuang is more because of Aunt Liu and the others' relationship with their mother.

Facing the Tang Dynasty Prince Longsun? Princess Xianli?

He didn't want to, and didn't dare to talk to any Longzi, and even said that he would rather stay in Fang Mansion and bask in the sun. Rather than thinking about such things that make him lose his head all the time, it would be more cost-effective to give up. This kind of disease will be a terrible disease in later generations.

If we take it for granted, giving up a choice is not the best choice.

For the first time, Li Yuan had the same feeling as Li Shimin and his wife, damn Pingyang!

No matter how much he liked that daughter, the moment Fang Chen appeared in front of him, he immediately felt more guilty. What a good child, why did he believe Yuan Tiangang's lies at that time? Look, he was supposed to be the daughter of Gao Zun.

The king is now just like a commoner.

But if we look at it from another perspective, if Fang Chen gets involved with those princes as soon as he comes, I am afraid that Li Shimin will never intend to restore his throne in this life.

A powerful person must not appear on the Li family tree.

Seemingly having no choice, Fang Chen gave the others a heavy blow.

Sometimes, guilt can also affect a person's judgment.

"Cheng Qian, follow me into the side hall!"

Empress Changsun could no longer care about so much. Even if she couldn't recognize him directly, she still had to do something for her poor child.

Li Chengqian hurriedly got up and followed him. Li Shimin and Li Yuan hesitated to speak because they were afraid that Changsun Wugou would make other shocking moves.

Qin Qiong and Chai Shao below closed their eyes and seemed to have turned into stone sculptures. Most of the people here were insiders and were not afraid of any problems.

Changsun Wuji rolled his eyes, thinking about some issues, and would take a few sips of wine from time to time, turning a blind eye to others.

Prince Li Chengqian and Queen Changsun came to the side hall and couldn't help but shed tears.

Li Chengqian was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, "Why is this, Queen Mother? What's going on?"

Today, he was completely confused. First, the emperor's grandfather accepted his disciples, and then, his father, the emperor, and his mother valued Fang Chen.

Could it be that Fang Chen has an extraordinary origin? Or is it because of the deceased Princess Pingyang? This Fang Chen seems to be the adopted son of Aunt Pingyang, right?

They missed each other when they saw her, maybe because Fang Chen reminded them of Aunt Pingyang.

"Cheng Qian, since you have been a prince, you should know some things. Do you know what happened on the day you were born?"

Li Chengqian's expression changed and he quickly asked: "Did something big happen back then?"

Empress Changsun nodded: "My son Li Chengqian, did you know that he was born with twins?"

How could Li Chengqian not know that this had anything to do with him? Could it be...

"On that day, your Third Emperor's Uncle Li Yuanji listened to the words of the alchemist Yuan Tiangang and believed that the twins in my womb were unknown, so he ordered someone to steal one of them. Later, the matter was found out by Qin Qiong sent by His Majesty, and Princess Pingyang made a big fuss in the palace.

In the palace, the Supreme Emperor was so angry that he demoted your father..."

Li Chengqian asked back: "My child has indeed heard about this, but at that time, Aunt Pingyang said that King Qi did not..."

"You are wrong. Pingyang and the Supreme Emperor hid the child and arranged for it to be fostered in a separate courtyard outside the palace."

If Li Chengqian still doesn't understand the matter at this point, he doesn't need to be the prince anymore.

"Mother, do you mean that Fang Chen is the child's brother?"

More than just brothers, the ancients often referred to brothers as brothers from the same mother, but this Fang Chen and Li Chengqian were real brothers.

Empress Changsun wept silently, and Li Chengqian was also distraught.

He never thought that something like this would happen to him, and he even said that he wanted to thank Fang Chen. If he had been kidnapped that day, I'm afraid he wouldn't be as prosperous as he is today.

"I'm telling you this because I want you to protect him. Tell me, can you do it?"

Li Shimin, Empress Changsun, and even Li Yuan may not really be able to make a name for themselves and defend Fang Chen. Because this would make Fang Chen a thorn in the eyes of other ministers. Why should a child be valued by the emperor and empress?

The most suitable candidate now is the one in front of Empress Changsun, the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian!

After swallowing his saliva, everything became clear, but his mind was still a little confused. Seeing Empress Changsun's tears, Li Chengqian immediately straightened his body and said, "I understand, I will definitely protect my second brother from being bullied by outsiders!"

"But Queen Mother, why don't you restore the second brother's original identity?"

Empress Changsun sighed and said: "It's easier said than done. If Xiao Yu'er really regains his status as a prince, you're afraid you won't be able to protect him anymore."

The road to seizing the throne is full of twists and turns, and it is difficult for brothers to draw their swords.

"My child is safe. Please rest assured, mother, my child knows what to do."

Li Chengqian and Fang Chen felt the same guilt as Changsun Wugou, and also felt a little happy.

Fang Chen was his real brother who had his bones broken and his tendons connected!

Don't think that Li Chengqian was a waste after he was deposed. You must know that history books record that Li Chengqian was a young and intelligent man, but he was forced to rebel by Li Shimin's poisonous training method.

There is another theory that the real disagreement between Li Chengqian and Li Tai started after Empress Changsun died of illness.

Now, in addition to being the prince, he is also the eldest brother of all the princes and princesses in the palace!

What does it mean to be an eldest brother? An eldest brother is like a father. He has the responsibility of teaching and even more responsibility of protecting.

Brothers have supported each other and taken care of each other, and this eldest brother is the one who has to pay the most!

Unlike later generations, in some families, brothers are at odds and fighting over money.

"Mother, it's time for us to go back."

Li Chengqian helped Empress Changsun, and thought to herself: If it were him, I'm afraid he wouldn't be as strong as his father, empress, and empress, right?

"Second brother? Don't worry, as a brother I will never let anyone hurt you easily!"

The two returned to the table, and the prince looked at Fang Chen frequently.

Li Tai said in surprise: "Brother, what do you think he is doing?"

The voice was loud, Li Ke didn't even try to stop him, and the others all looked at Li Tai.

Li Chengqian's expression changed: "Don't be rude, that's your second brother!"

It was also because his thoughts were confused that Li Chengqian spoke out without even thinking about it.

This time, Lian Fangchen couldn't keep pretending and looked at Li Chengqian dumbfounded.

Li Shimin snorted before Li Chengqian realized his slip of the tongue and hurriedly continued: "Brother Chen has followed Aunt Pingyang since he was a child, and we are considered brothers. Besides, we are about the same age as me. I think it is okay to call me second brother.

"

Li Tai's eyes were full of surprise, because he found that after his elder brother finished speaking, Li Shimin actually nodded in agreement.

"Quickly apologize to your second brother!"

Seeing that his father did not blame him and was even a little happy, Li Chengqian also understood that he had given an excellent excuse.

"Qingque, apologize!"

Empress Changsun also spoke. Li Tai looked ugly and looked at Li Shimin, hoping that he would avoid this incident.

But his father, who usually loved him very much, did not stand with him today and chose to ignore him.

"I don't dare. How can I afford it? King Wei, please don't take it seriously. Shouldn't today be my apprenticeship banquet?"

Fang Chen hurriedly spoke out. He didn't want to cause a stalemate over this matter. After all, Li Tai was not a good person in history.

"Second brother, Qingque was wrong about this matter. As a brother, I am here to apologize to you on Qingque's behalf."

Fang Chen smiled bitterly, "His Royal Highness, you have really embarrassed the common people."

Li Tai snorted to express his dissatisfaction, but he was still a little lucky. Fortunately, the untouchable opposite was sensible, otherwise he would never let him go.
