When they arrived at the East Palace, Li Chengqian dragged Fang Chen around and introduced him. The eyes of the servants waiting on the side were full of curiosity. I wonder what is so magical about this little Fang Master?

"Second brother, tell me how you have lived these years."

Perhaps Li Chengqian was tired from shopping, so he took Fang Chen into the side hall, and the two children sat directly on the bed.

Fang Chen smiled and said: "How else can I live my life? I can eat whatever I have. I can't compare to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian asked again: "What about Aunt Pingyang? Has she taken good care of you?"

When Fang Chen recalled his mother, he still felt mostly guilty, "My mother treated me very well. I am lucky to have met her."

Yes, twenty-five years, a whole twenty-five years of mother-son love.

Fang Chen, who grew up in a single-parent family, besides longing for her father's love, was extremely respectful to her mother.

To put it in later generations, he is a mama's boy who doesn't choose anything.

But he doesn't think this is a shameful thing. Without his mother, he might have died long ago.

His mother never gave up in the most difficult moments, but because of his lack of ability, his mother died of illness, and it was difficult to get rid of his inner demons and find it difficult to calm down.

Sensing that Fang Chen was not in a high mood, Li Chengqian had two guesses. The first was that Aunt Pingyang treated him really well, and the second was that Aunt Pingyang treated him just average.

Li Chengqian prefers the latter. In ancient times, adopted sons were generally not treated much better.

Princess Pingyang has a child of her own, and Fang Chen is more like a responsibility to her.

"Second brother, I just saw that you had no appetite in the palace. Do you want the cook to cook you some food now?"

Fang Chen nodded subconsciously because he was really hungry.

"Excuse me, Your Highness, I wonder if my cook has arrived?"

"Here we go, do you want him to do it?"

Fang Chen shrugged his head and was embarrassed to say that he was mainly worried that the food in your east palace would be too unpalatable.

"Forget it, I'll make arrangements here."

Li Chengqian jumped out of bed and ran out of the side hall, while Fang Chen's expression changed rapidly, and he no longer had the childish look he had before in the palace.

"The problem is getting bigger and bigger. It seems that I am not just adopted by my mother?"

He couldn't express himself in the Tai Chi Palace before, but Fang Chen had the thinking of an adult, so he immediately discovered something was wrong with the royals he came into contact with.

"Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou almost regard me as their own son, and Li Chengqian's attitude has also changed completely. There must be some indescribable problems in this. And I am afraid that this problem requires follow-up investigation by myself."

"Second brother, what are you thinking about?"

Fang Chen quickly gathered his energy and chatted with Li Chengqian.

"Your Highness, you must have a lot of things going on on weekdays, right?"

Li Chengqian nodded in agreement, "As a prince of a country, how can it be simple? The prince will test my homework every day, and my father will often read my articles, and my mother will often teach me, as a prince

, how to act..."

Fang Chen is a very good listener, allowing Li Chengqian to safely share a lot of things that he usually cannot share with others. Despite the superficial appearance, Li Chengqian needs to continue to learn and grow.

Is being a prince of a country really a good thing?

The flowers are becoming more and more charming, and what they love is nothing more than fame, or the power they can get in the future.

Perhaps when those ambitious people ascend to the throne of God, bolder ideas will emerge in their hearts?

"Second brother, tell me, is being in the royal family a good thing or a bad thing?"

Fang Chen did not answer and looked at Li Chengqian quietly. He would not accept such words.

Li Chengqian was asking for trouble, and then returned to the main hall with Fang Chen. The servants reported back that the cook in Fang's mansion had already prepared the meal.

They were all meat vegetables, and the Tang Dynasty did not have the ability to grow vegetables in winter.

"It looks good, and my second brother tastes really good."

Just by the taste, Li Chengqian felt his appetite. He didn't expect that his second brother's cook was quite capable.

Fang Chen pushed out half of it and said, "Your Highness, if you don't mind it, you can try it."

"Then I won't be polite."

Li Chengqian realized that he was hungry, and the food was too tempting, so he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Then, with a speed that stunned Fang Chen, he quickly finished a large plate of meat and vegetables.

"Huh? Second brother, why don't you eat?"

Rubbing his temples, Fang Chen became more and more certain that there was something wrong with Datang.

In fact, because Fang Chen was his direct brother, Li Chengqian did not act like a prince in the past, otherwise he would not have let Fang Chen see this appearance.

Fang Chen also picked up his chopsticks, always feeling that if he didn't eat, he was afraid that the remaining dishes would fall into Li Chengqian's mouth.

"Brother?"

Li Chengqian was enjoying his meal, but couldn't help being interrupted, and immediately choked and turned red.

Fortunately, Fang Chen was right next to him, giving him a few gentle blows on his back. The two of them calmed down and turned to the "uninvited guest".

"Li Zhi, why are you here?"

Princess Changle, born to Empress Changsun, has the fifth rank, but because she is the daughter of the empress, she is also called the eldest princess.

Everything in the Taiji Hall today was full of weirdness. Li Lizhi originally planned to ask Li Chengqian what the queen mother had said to him, which caused his attitude to change drastically.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I came over, I saw such a scene.

"Fang Chen, a young citizen, has met the princess."

After all, the other party is also a princess, Fang Chen can't be rude.

Li Chengqian's face looked a little ugly. After all, he already recognized Fang Chen as a brother in his heart, so how could he hope to alienate each other just because of a title.

"Yeah." Li Lizhi nodded casually, assuming she understood, and then ran to Li Chengqian's side.

"Lizhi! Don't you have any manners?"

Li Chengqian was even more annoyed, Li Zhi! He is your brother, don’t you know how to return the favor?

Fang Chen didn't care, after all, he knew who he was.

"Brother, I came here just to ask what the queen mother told you. As for him, I don't recognize him!"

Compared with Li Chengqian, Li Zhi is like a spoiled girl. How can she be willing to have someone suddenly come over her?

"In this case, you can ask yourself, this East Palace cannot accommodate you, the princess!"

Li Chengqian's face turned completely dark. He pulled Fang Chen and said, "Second brother, don't worry about it. Li Zhi is quite favored by his father, but sometimes he is too willful."

Fang Chen hurriedly waved his hand, "How dare you, the common people? I just hope that His Highness the Crown Prince will not get angry with the common people and His Royal Highness the Princess."

Li Lizhi snorted coldly, turned around and wanted to leave. It seemed that she planned to go to her mother to complain to the prince.

This big brother actually helps outsiders. It's really disgusting.

But what does this smell like?

Don't think that in the Tai Chi Palace, Fang Chen was the only one who didn't move his chopsticks very much. The princes and princesses basically didn't eat much. After all, father, emperor and mother had to maintain the etiquette they should have in person.

"smell good?"

Li Lizhi focused her attention on the dishes next to the two of them and couldn't help but swallow.

The food at the banquet was delicious, but the prototype still came from Fang Mansion. This is like a high imitation meeting the real thing, and the two cannot be confused.
