Li Shimin returned home in high spirits with the two boxes of calligraphy and paintings.

My heart was filled with joy along the way.

As soon as he stepped into the mansion, he couldn't wait to loudly order his servants: "Quickly put these two boxes of calligraphy and paintings away properly. Don't damage them in the slightest."

When he is free, he must concentrate on savoring and appreciating each painting slowly.

Today is New Year's Day, a special moment when the old year turns to the new year. The entire mansion is decorated with a new look and is filled with a strong festive atmosphere everywhere.

The two lovely little princesses, Li Mingda and Li Jiming, are dressed in bright and eye-catching red festive costumes. The exquisite embroidery and gorgeous accessories complement each other, making them look more charming and lovely.

That rosy little face looks like a ripe apple in spring, which makes people feel infinite love.

When Li Shimin saw them like this, he felt an irrepressible love for them.

"Aye, you're back!"

"Aye! I missed you so much!"

The clear and pleasant voices of the two good daughters rang out.

As soon as they saw Li Shimin appear in front of them, they ran over like two happy deer. One of them hugged one of Li Shimin's thighs tightly and rubbed her little head against his leg.

Li Shimin bent down lovingly, extended his broad palm, and gently stroked his two daughters' smooth black hair. With a warm smile on his face, he said softly, "Didn't Father tell you a long time ago?"

"I'm just going out to take care of some business. I'll be back soon."

"And Aye has promised you that we will go together to join in the fun when your royal brother comes."

"Your brother has indeed returned to Xianyang to celebrate the New Year. I wonder what the situation is like in Chang'an right now, and whether everything has been properly arranged."

Li Shimin was about to think deeply about the situation in Chang'an, but his thoughts were abruptly interrupted by Li Jiming's urgent voice.

"Aye, don't think about it! Take us out to play! The emperor is coming!"

"Yeah, Aye, take us out to play!"

Looking at his two daughters acting so coquettishly and cutely, Li Shimin felt in a good mood.

How could he bear to refuse their small request? He smiled and said, "Okay, let's go. Aye will take you out for fun!"

Nanny Sun saw this scene from the side and felt a little worried.

When she went out today, she witnessed the bustling scene outside.

She was really worried about Li Shimin going out alone with the two little princesses.

So, Nanny Sun hurried forward and said with concern, "Master, there are so many people outside today, it's very lively. Would you mind if I could go out with you?"

"This way, I can have someone to look after me, and I can feel more at ease."

Li Shimin shook his head slightly and patiently explained to her, "Don't worry, Madam Sun, you will be responsible for the careful planning and arrangement of the New Year's dinner at the sanatorium today."

"So many trivial matters cannot be carried out without you, the backbone. You must be too busy to leave."

"Go call Zhinu out and have him accompany us. He's a little older and more composed, so he can look after Sizi and Ayuan, and everyone can feel a little more at ease."

Li Zhi's eyes soon became clear and he walked over with brisk steps.

He could have returned to the palace earlier, but he kept finding various excuses to delay here.

It is difficult for others to understand how comfortable it is for a prince who usually has to get up at four or five o'clock every morning to attend morning classes to be able to sleep freely until he wakes up leisurely every day.

After getting up, you can do whatever you want without having to follow the strict rules and schedule of the palace.

As for returning to the palace?

He will never go back. Whoever wants to go back can go back, but Li Zhi is determined not to go back!

When Li Zhi heard that Li Chengqian was coming these days, he couldn't help feeling panicked.

The emperor's brother has always been strict with him, and he was afraid that when Li Chengqian returned to Chang'an this time, he would forcibly take him away.

So these days, all he could think about was how to cleverly avoid his royal brother.

Seeing Li Zhi coming, Li Shimin frowned slightly and said with a hint of reproach: "Look at you these days. All you have done here is eat and drink to your heart's content and sleep. If you continue to be so lazy, sooner or later you will become like Qingque!"

"You've been indulging in pleasure all day. How fat have you become? You have no self-control."

"By the way, Zhinu, where is Qingque? Why doesn't he come out with us?"

Li Zhi opened his eyes slightly wide, looked at Li Shimin with a clear face, and replied calmly: "Father, my fourth brother has been away from home for half a month."

"Didn't the emperor ask him to repair the book?"

"I remember this clearly. Fourth brother has been concentrating on revising the book all this time, without a single moment of slacking off."

When Li Shimin heard Li Zhi's words, he blushed for a moment and asked with emotion: "Have you been out for half a month?"

"Aye is getting older now, and his memory is not as good as it used to be. He tends to forget many things."

"Chi Nu, you must be filial to your father and don't let him worry about trivial matters."

When Li Zhi heard this, he was immediately delighted and nodded earnestly, saying, "Father, I understand. I will do my best to honor you."

"But Fourth Brother should be back today, and the academy is closed for the holidays."

"It's okay. Since Qingque hasn't returned yet, you and Aye can go and join your royal brother in the fun."

"You can take care of your two sisters on the way!"
