Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

In the side room of Tian Ce Mansion, Li Tai was feeling very comfortable. His thin figure caused by the turmoil in the fight for the throne was long gone. Not only had he gained weight again, he even looked more prosperous than before.

He was wearing a loose brocade robe and lying on his side on the soft couch, his eyes full of satisfaction and comfort.

If I had known that life in Xianyang was so peaceful and comfortable, my previous obsession with ascending the throne would have seemed so childish and ridiculous.

In this sanatorium for the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, everyone else followed the rules of three meals a day, but Li Tai was completely different. He enjoyed six meals a day without fail.

He has been pampered since childhood and is very particular about food, but he also adheres to the concept of never wasting food.

Every meal must be eaten up without leaving a single drop.

At afternoon tea today, there was an exquisite clear soup hot pot on his table.

Recently, his taste has also changed. His previous love for those strong, spicy dishes has gradually faded, and he has become quite fond of light and refreshing food.

Just like the clear soup hotpot in front of you, it uses clear spring water as the soup base. Fresh meat slices are lightly dipped in it a few times, and when they are just cooked, they are quickly taken out.

Dip it in the dipping sauce made of fine salt, sesame oil, chopped green onion, ginger and garlic, put it in your mouth and savor it carefully, it has a unique flavor.

Arranged neatly on the table were two plates of evenly sliced ​​mutton, a plate of freshly picked seasonal vegetables, half a pot of fragrant white dried liquor, and two temptingly colored pastries.

Li Tai gently held the latest and most anticipated vernacular novel published in Xianyang City in his left hand.

His right hand leisurely picked up food, sometimes immersed in the exciting plot of the novel, sometimes savoring the unique flavor of the food. Such a carefree day was as happy as the life of a god.

On weekdays, if he felt a little bored, he would get up, walk out of the room, and take a leisurely stroll on the winding path in the courtyard, admiring the exotic flowers and plants, rockery and waterside pavilions in the courtyard.

Or he would happily tease his two innocent, cute, lively and clever sisters. His life was leisurely, comfortable and carefree.

Li Tai just dipped a perfectly cooked mutton roll in the seasoning, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly. Just as he was savoring the flavor, his door was gently pushed open.

Li Zhi came all the way exhausted. When he stepped into the room and saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned and felt as if the sky had fallen.

“Fourth brother…Fourth brother you!”

His eyes widened, his face full of shock and disbelief, and even his voice trembled slightly.

"How...how can you eat in the afternoon?"

Hearing Li Zhi's words full of surprise, Li Tai was slightly stunned, with a look of doubt on his face.

He slowly swallowed the mutton roll in his mouth, then said, "Chi Nu is here, why can't we eat in the afternoon?"

After saying this, he seemed to be unconcerned with Li Zhi's surprise, and picked up another piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. In his eyes, this afternoon meal was the most ordinary thing.

"Fourth brother, have you forgotten all the rules of the palace?"

Li Zhi said urgently, with a hint of blame in his voice.

In the palace, eating in the afternoon was against the rules. He had been taught to strictly abide by the palace rules since he was young, so he was shocked to see Li Tai acting so recklessly.

The main reason is that I can't stand seeing my brother living so comfortably.

"I haven't forgotten, but we're not in the palace now." Li Tai responded as a matter of course, with a cunning look in his eyes.

In his opinion, now that he is away from the imperial palace with its numerous rules and regulations and has come to this sanatorium in Xianyang City, he can enjoy life as he pleases without having to be bound by those red tape.

"Come on, Chi Nu, you've come just in time. Let's have a meal and a drink with Fourth Brother. We two brothers haven't seen each other for a while!"

He greeted Li Zhi warmly, his words filled with joy of reunion after a long separation.

Li Zhi looked at the steaming delicious food on the table and swallowed unconsciously.

Seeing this, Nanny Sun realized that she was redundant here, so she slowly retreated.

Seeing Nanny Sun leave, Li Zhi no longer pretended to be reserved and sat down directly.

"Fourth brother, I came here this time because my royal brother wants me to talk to you about something!"

Li Zhi calmed himself down and spoke.

I came here with a mission. Although I envy Li Tai's carefree life, I dare not forget my business.

Hearing that His Majesty had something to talk to him about, Li Tai glanced at Li Zhi and asked casually, "What is it?"

"My brother the Emperor said that he wants you to go to Xianyang National College to repair the books. He said the money has already been allocated there."

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Li Tai's face instantly became a little sad.

When Li Chengqian mentioned to him that he would perform the Zhenguan Ceremony, he thought it was just a joke and never expected that it would become a real thing now!

When he thought that he would no longer be able to live such a carefree life, and would have to bury himself in books every day, studying hard and writing classics, he felt melancholy.

He picked up the glass in front of him and drank the wine in it, feeling the spicy taste of Xiaobai Gan spreading in his throat, trying to dispel the boredom in his heart.

"Pheasant, open the plate and eat together!"

Li Taiqiang cheered up and greeted Li Zhi.

"What's there for us two brothers to be embarrassed about?"

"Is life in the palace hard? Do you have to attend morning classes?"

"I'm telling you, don't go to the fiefdom anymore. Come directly here. That's where it's more comfortable!"

Li Tai was showing off to himself, his words full of satisfaction with his current life and sympathy for Li Zhi.

The hardship and strict rules of life in the palace compared to her own comfortable life in the sanatorium now made her feel that Li Zhi was quite pitiful.

Li Zhi smiled bitterly inwardly. He picked up a piece of mutton roll, quickly blanched it in the pan, dipped it in the sauce, and stuffed it into his mouth. The delicious taste instantly spread across his tongue, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "Delicious!"

This was the first time in his life that he had a proper meal in the afternoon.

He was also quite surprised. For some reason, Li Tai's attitude towards him became much closer than before.

In the past, due to various reasons, although there was friendship between the brothers in the palace, there was also a bit of alienation and suspicion. Now in the city of Xianyang, it seemed that the barrier was gradually dissipating.

After eating and drinking his fill, Li Tai took the storybook and lay down on the bed with a lazy look on his face.

Li Zhi looked at Li Tai, who was so free and lazy, and his heart was full of envy.

He couldn't help but think of how he had to get up before dawn every morning to attend morning classes. On those cold mornings, he had to get dressed and wash up sleepily at the urging of his servants, and then hurried to the school.

Reciting poetry and learning etiquette, the feeling of hardship and fatigue suddenly came to my heart, and I almost shed tears of jealousy in my eyes.

"I can lie down on the bed after dinner. Isn't this too cool?"

Li Zhi couldn't help but say to Li Tai, with a hint of envy in his voice that was hard to conceal.

"Fourth brother, the emperor is so kind to you. He even bought you the best mansion."

Li Zhi continued, his eyes darting around the room.

Although this room is a side room, it is decorated very elegantly. The tables, chairs and beds are all made of precious wood and are exquisitely carved. There are also several famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, adding a bit of cultural atmosphere.

"I'm so envious!"

Li Tai was concentrating on reading the novel and responded without even looking up: "What arrangements are you making for me? Can't you see this is a side room?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi looked up and looked around carefully. He really couldn't realize that this was actually a side room.

In his eyes, the room was so spacious and bright, and the decoration was quite exquisite, which was far from the side room he had imagined.

"Wait a minute! Fourth brother!"

Li Zhi seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Fourth brother, you said you would live in the side room here, then who will live in the main room?"

Li Tai pursed his lips slightly, gently turned a page of the novel in his hand, and said nonchalantly: "Of course, that's where our father lives!"
