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.
