Da Tang: Father, can I resign?

Chapter 65 Little "Doud"
Li Ming opened his eyes again.

The young lady also woke up and was looking at him with her beautiful big eyes.

The long eyelashes fluttered.

Li Ming's mouth twitched slightly, and he said politely:
"Beauty, you're crushing my hand."

The young lady chuckled, sat up from the bed, and tied her hair up:

"You're still the same, talking so strangely."

Could you please not speak in such a way that may cause misunderstanding? Please respect the life discipline of civil servants... Li Ming retracted his numb right hand and looked around.

This is the girl's boudoir, which is low-key, luxurious and meaningful. It is obviously not a room that can be found in a place of Lide Hall's rank...

I was kidnapped by a rich woman?!

Li Ming almost cried for joy.

"You didn't recognize me? I held you in my arms when you were a kid!"

The young lady pouted, but soon came closer with a smile and lifted her long hair towards Li Ming:
"Open your eyes and take a good look. Which sister am I?"

No, I have had the memory since I was born. It’s just that you have changed a lot since you grew up... Li Ming carefully looked at the childish, delicate and lovely peach blossom face in front of him.

Some impression.

She was the legitimate daughter of Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun.

The biggest watershed in life is amniotic fluid. As a bastard's son, he has a natural barrier with his father's legitimate sons.

We hardly have any contact with each other at ordinary times. Only on important occasions like the Chinese New Year would we eat under the same roof and glance at each other from afar.

This young lady seemed to be very much loved by Li Shimin. During meals, the scumbag Li wanted to chew the rice into pieces and feed it to her.

According to reasoning, she should be the most beloved and famous princess of the Tang Dynasty, and the standing supporting character in various novels about time travel to the Tang Dynasty.

It’s a pity that Li Ming himself is also a daughter slave and usually has little time to read novels, so the name came to his lips but was stuck.

Her name is...her name is...Little Something...

"Little 'pocket'?" Li Ming blurted out.

"???"

The young lady was obviously stunned.

“Puff, puff hahahaha!!!”

Then she burst into laughter:

"Haha...what's the word 'dou'...that word is pronounced 'si', the 'four' in one, two, three, four!"

Ah this...

Li Wenmang was picking his feet in embarrassment, looking at A-si Li Mingda who was laughing coquettishly and staggering back and forth.

"I told you to study hard...hahahaha...but you skipped classes. You're making a fool of yourself."

Ah Sizi put her hands on her waist and taught him like a sister:

"Remember this, si means rhinoceros. My name is Ah Sizi...

"No, no, you've got me confused. This is my nickname, how can you just call me that?

"I am your sister Li Mingda!"

You nicknamed your daughter the Heavy-Armored Rhinoceros. You are worthy of it, Li Shimin, the master of nicknames... Li Ming complained in his heart and nodded obediently:
"Hello, Sister Mingda.

"Is Father in good health? Also, why am I sleeping in Lizheng Palace?"

Thanks to his sister's barbell-like laughter, he had fully come to his senses and had roughly guessed his situation.

Yesterday, he was chatting with Li Shimin when Old Li suddenly fell down, holding his chest.

A textbook cardiac arrest.

Fortunately, Li Ming had watched first aid videos before.

He immediately shouted for help and, according to the popular science video, risked his entire body to perform CPR on Li Shimin.

Finally the pulse was restored a little.

His small body was exhausted and he fell asleep.

Judging from Li Mingda's cheerful expression, Li Er should have escaped.

Fortunately, history did not take a sharp turn.

He was not accused of "suspected regicide".

"Buddha bless you, Grandpa is fine. This is all thanks to you! Grandpa said that your filial piety moved the heaven!"

Thinking of what happened yesterday, Li Mingda held Li Ming's little hand with lingering fear.

"Grandpa took you to Lizheng Hall last night because..."

"Cough cough!"

Li Zhi coughed dryly outside the door:
"Don't waste your time, Brother Li Ming slept for most of the day yesterday, he must be hungry.

"Hurry up and get up, wash up, and have breakfast."

Li Mingda stuck out his tongue playfully:

"Look at me, I'm just busy chatting. It's Brother Zhinu who is thoughtful."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

Li Ming smiled relaxedly.

This is what brothers and sisters are like!

…………

The Tang Dynasty was a period of transition from separate dining to shared dining, and the dining table also evolved from low tables to high-legged tables and chairs.

High-legged tables and chairs are good, they don’t put pressure on the stomach and make digestion easier.

Li Shimin was sitting in the main seat. Seeing Li Zhi and Li Mingda holding Li Ming's little hand on each side, he was filled with emotion and smiled with satisfaction.

A father is kind, a son is filial, brothers, friends, and brothers are respectful.

What a dreamy family relationship.

"You finally woke up. You pressed my chest so hard yesterday that it still hurts."

Li Shimin stood up and touched Li Ming's head lovingly:

"Without your filial piety, the King of Hell might not have let me go. You are indeed my good son!"

Li Ming blinked and found that Li Shimin seemed to have mistaken cardiopulmonary resuscitation for something extraordinary.

Not bad though.

He was still as carefree as before, shaking his head and saying:
"Then, Master, how are you going to reward me? How about returning Li Dao Zong and giving me Hou Junji as a reward instead..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Mingda slapped him on the forehead.

"Children shouldn't be so disrespectful."

"Oh." Li Ming felt aggrieved.

"Hahaha~ Children's words are innocent. It's okay." Li Shimin was very pleased with the amusing words.

Little bully, look at the nemesis I found for you.

Li Shimin's family's daily breakfast was quite casual.

The father and his unmarried young son, the four of them, sat together around a dining table.

It's not like in the TV dramas, where there's a huge table with a bunch of eunuchs busying around.

Li Ming slept too deeply yesterday and missed lunch and dinner. He was already starving.

However, when he saw the table full of dishes, he couldn't help but feel nauseous.

Fried deer intestines with deer blood!
Steamed bear fat with bacon!
Camel hoof mushroom soup!

Steamed lamb shanks with goat cheese!

Bingsu Mountain!
Even though he had gone hungry for two meals, he still felt that the food on the table was too greasy.

Isn’t this a grand banquet that is only held during the Chinese New Year?
Is this what you usually eat in Lizheng Hall?
Why don’t you look fat? Is it because our Li family has a physique where fat accumulates in the internal organs?
The prince became lame for no apparent reason, could it be diabetes?

Li Ming couldn't help but worry about his family's cardiovascular health.

"Um... Grandpa?"

Li Shimin, who had just walked out of the ICU, was chewing on a lamb leg. He felt very strange when he saw Li Ming's hesitation to speak:
"Why are you so polite? Eat."

I don’t want cholesterol and triglycerides to flow in my blood vessels… Li Ming said sincerely:
"Grandpa, you have just recovered from a serious illness, so it is best to eat light food."

Li Shimin was a little surprised:
"You really know medicine? The imperial physician said so, so I have reduced most of the dishes."

Reduced by most...most...half...Li Ming's mouth twitched.

"No! You..."

"Ahem!" Li Zhi coughed dryly and said seriously:
"Brother Li Ming, you have done a great service in saving the emperor, so my father has shown special favor and brought you to the Lizheng Palace.

"Lizheng Hall is not like Lide Hall, so I hope you will be careful with your words and actions."

This answered Li Ming's question just now.

Living with the child is a reward, it is really a unique way for the emperor to praise...

Li Ming complained in his heart and asked:
"So when can I go back?"

"You saved my life, which is enough to prove that you are pure and kind, but I just neglected to discipline you."

Li Shimin said seriously:
"If jade is not carved, it will not become a useful object. From now on, you will stay in Lizheng Palace, and I will personally raise you until you grow up."

"Ah?" Little Li Ming's face was full of disgust.

He had already begun to miss sunflower seeds mixed with rice and millet.

He got another slap on the forehead.

"Aren't you going to thank the Emperor for his grace?" Li Mingda frowned.

"Oh, thank you, Your Majesty." Little Li Ming said honestly.

But I am still very confused.

What is Li Er doing?

Are you going to raise the flag for me?

Is he going to abdicate to me?

Li Shimin saw all his uncertain expressions and knew that this bad guy was up to something bad again, so he deliberately said:

"Li Ming, you still don't know what happened in Lide Hall last night, right?"

Li Ming was completely confused:

"what happened?"

Wasn't it because I was so wise and brave that I saved the Tang Dynasty, and everyone bowed down to me, and my mother, sisters, and aunts all rose to prominence?
"After you fell asleep from exhaustion and were carried back to Lide Palace, the imperial guards besieged the Palace for most of the day.

"We will be besieged until the emperor wakes up and personally goes to Lide Hall to carry you out."

Good boy Li Zhi explained for his father while secretly looking up to observe Li Ming's micro-expressions.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Changsun will lead the army."

When he heard the names of the prince and Zhangsun Wuji, Li Ming's hands trembled and his chopsticks fell to the ground.

Boom!

Outside the palace, summer thunder exploded.

　Thanks to RainH for the reward! Thanks to everyone for voting and liking... No, vote and read to support!
