"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!"
