I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Li Shen loves gossip, even about his own children.

At this moment, no one was interested in eating. They just watched the two little people confront each other, with Yangyang not giving an inch and determined to get the money back.

Xi Xi's little face scrunched up in embarrassment as she slowly gathered her thoughts, probably racking her brains for a solution.

After holding it in for a long time, Xixi suddenly smiled slightly and said affectionately:

“Little brother, you’re still young. You don’t need that much money. What if you lose it? Leave it with your sister. I’ll keep it safe for you and return it to you when you grow up.”

Xi Xi spoke very sincerely; her tone, her eyes, her expressions and movements made Li Shen suddenly realize how familiar she looked.

He couldn't help but look up and look around, and saw Lu Dingniang, Wu Meiniang and others smiling at him.

"Why...why are you all staring at me like that?" Li Shen felt a little uneasy under their gazes.

"Your Highness, don't you think Xixi's words sound familiar?" Wu Meiniang asked softly.

"It does sound somewhat familiar," Li Shen nodded.

“My lord, isn’t this exactly what you said to Xixi?” Lu Dingniang covered her mouth and laughed.

"Really? Am I that hypocritical?" Li Shen was slightly embarrassed. He felt that he had been very sincere at the time, so why did Xi Xi seem so fake now?

After hearing Li Shen's words, everyone nodded silently at him.

"No, I don't need you to keep it. It will all become your dowry in the future. Besides, Father has already given you so much money. What do you need my twenty strings of cash for?"

Yangyang was unyielding.

"No way!" Unexpectedly, Li Xu, who had been watching the commotion, also shouted. This little guy couldn't speak fluently yet; he could only mimic words.

But he did a pretty good job as the straight man.

"No!" Li Yinyu, who was in Li Shen's arms, also shouted, though she didn't know what was going on either.

However, Yangyang's words were very forceful, so the two little ones started to imitate him.

Xi Xi glared angrily at her two younger siblings, then looked at Yang Yang, finally revealing her fangs as the eldest sister, and stretched out a hand to threaten him:

"If you want my money, I'll beat you up."

Yangyang looked at Xixi's hand, hesitant, as if it had been beaten. They were twins.

But Xixi was half a head taller than Yangyang, and just by looking at his fleshy body, you could tell that he was no match for Xixi.

This may also be the reason why boys and girls develop at different rates.

Just as tensions were rising and Xi Xi was about to make her move, Li Shen spoke up:

"Xixi, what you did was wrong. If you made a promise to someone, you should keep it, especially since you took their money."

A person cannot stand without integrity; honesty is the most fundamental quality.

You were wrong this time. You need to return the money to your brother, understand?

Li Shen began to teach Xixi that people must be honest.

"But...but..." Once it's in her pocket, she'll feel bad taking it out again.

"Sigh, never mind." Li Shen reached out to Shi Tou, who then took out another bag and handed it to Li Shen.

Li Shen took out two gold bars and handed them to Yangyang.

“This is on behalf of your sister, Father.”

"Thank you, Father." Yangyang accepted the gift and expressed his gratitude.

“Little brother, do you want to keep it with me? I have a little stash of money, and it might get lost someday if you keep it.”

Seeing the gold bar in Yangyang's hand, Xixi's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but speak again.

Yangyang immediately put the gold bars away and shook his head in refusal.

"I do not want it."

Yangyang, who is usually calm and composed, was forced to lose his usual composure by Xixi.

"Alright, let's eat." Li Shenyi waved his hand.

As everyone took their seats, Xi Xi Yang Yang sat down next to Li Shen. Suddenly, Li Shen felt something was missing. He turned his head and saw his silly son still standing there, staring blankly at him with his head tilted to the side.

"What are you doing?" Li Shen asked.

However, it was clear that Li Xu did not understand at all; he seemed to be opening his mouth to speak, but no sound came out.

"Is this the landlord's stupid son?" Li Shen muttered, then picked up Li Yinyu with one hand and placed him in front of him.

“I am your father,” Li Shen said.

Li Xu felt the person in front of him was unfriendly, so he tried to struggle, making "ah ah ya ya" sounds.

“Xu’er, this is your father, quickly call him father.” Lu Dingniang hurriedly rescued Li Xu from Li Shen’s hands.

"Mother, Mother..." Li Xu called out twice.

"Hehe, please don't be offended, my lord. Xu'er is still learning to speak," Lu Dingniang said with a smile.

Looking at his simple-minded son, Li Shen began to wonder if his family business would decline if he handed it over to him in the future.

“Come here, look, this is gold. Tell Father, it’s gold.”

Li Shen's mind raced, and he took out a gold bar, waved it in front of Li Xu, and then began to teach him to speak.

Whether he recognizes his father or not is not important. As long as he knows Jinzi, that's enough for the family business, Li Shen thought to himself.

"Mother, Mother," Li Xu called out to Li Shen twice.

"What the hell? This is gold, gold... Holy crap, I'm peeing on it."

Before Li Shen could finish speaking, Li Xu unleashed a powerful attack, urinating directly onto Li Shen and nearly getting him in the mouth.

"What a powerful move, 'The Great River Flows!'" Li Shen couldn't dodge it even if he wanted to.

"Hehe." Seeing this, the others couldn't help but laugh, but out of respect for Li Shen, they dared not laugh too loudly.

"You bastard, you don't even say a word before you piss."

Li Shen quickly stood up and shook his clothes. Fortunately, the clothes were made of silk, and the water flowed down.

"Hehe, my lord, let me help you change your clothes." Lu Dingniang smiled as she got up and handed Li Xu to the wet nurse.

Then servants were summoned to clean up the floor.

Li Shen pinched Li Xu's cheek, then followed Lu Dingniang to change her clothes.

"My little brother is amazing, he peed on his father!" Xi Xi said curiously.

"What's so great about that? I heard from my mother that you peed your pants when you were little too." Yangyang said calmly.

"Really? Why didn't I know?" Xi Xi turned her head and asked.

“You were very young then, so of course you wouldn’t remember. Your mother was talking about something that happened two or three years ago.” Yangyang regained his mature demeanor.

Xi Xi suddenly realized:

"Oh, it's been so long. I definitely can't remember things from two or three years ago. I can't even remember what happened last year."

The two little adults sat there chatting, making everyone else chuckle.

"Yangyang, listen to your father. Eat less pastries and more regular meals. Look at your face, even Xixi can't beat you."

Wu Meiniang, standing to the side, looked at Yangyang. She held traditional views and favored sons over daughters, so she had high hopes for Yangyang.

Although Yangyang cannot inherit the family business, Prince Ji promised to give Yangyang a future, such as becoming a duke or a king.

Then she'll have someone to rely on from now on.

“Mother, even if I eat more, I still can’t beat Xixi. She’s been playing with Yi Er San Si since she was little, and she’s very strong. How could I possibly beat her?”

(Some people say they want to see Li Shen with his children under one roof, which is a good example of his ability to write about everyday life.)
