Chapter 216

◎Remember.◎

Changsun squeezed her youngest son's hand, then stroked her eldest son's face. She smiled and said, "If you hang around here any longer, your father will come and arrest you."

Li Chengqian smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's time for me to take a break, too. Mother, you see I've been busy for so long."

"Okay, then how about you take a break for two months?" Changsun smiled helplessly and dotingly.

Li Chengqian tilted his head. "It'll be summer in two more months. It's so hot, and I don't feel like moving. Let's add another two months."

Changsun tapped his forehead gently and said, "You're finding ways to be lazy and have made your father angry. I can't save you."

Li Chengqian complained, "Mother, don't you think I've been fooled? At first, Aye wanted me to sit in on his plans to fight the Turks so I could learn some skills, but then I became so obsessed with learning and doing everything? I even contributed to last year's drought."

"Isn't it better to let you learn more?" Changsun put her hand back into the quilt.

Li Chengqian sighed and said, "You're forcing me to grow. How old am I, Mother? My main task right now is to grow physically. I can learn other things later. But if I don't grow taller, Mother, there's no way I'll be able to make up for it later."

Chang Sun shook her head and smiled, "You always have a lot of reasons."

Li Chengqian laughed and said, "I have become Mussolini too."

Chang Sun was puzzled and asked, "What does Mussolini mean?"

Huh? This is hard to explain. Li Chengqian had seen this line in a later film in the underworld, and he just said it casually.

How did you deal with the Heavenly Khan last time? Li Chengqian thought about it and then skipped over the topic.

Just as Li Chengqian was thinking about what to say to change the subject, the little slave in the cradle suddenly burst into tears.

Li Chengqian had been here for a few days and was quite calm in the face of this situation. He waved to the wet nurse and said, "Come and show the young slave."

In this case, it's probably time to change the diaper.

Zhang Sun's eyes curved, "Cheng Qian is a good brother now, and he will be a good father in the future."

Li Chengqian smiled, lowered his eyes and straightened his sleeves: "Mother, why are you bringing this up again..."

"What did I mention?" Chang Sun blinked. "Don't you want to be someone's father-in-law in the future? Mother didn't mention anything else. Cheng Qian, you're overthinking it."

Li Chengqian was speechless. He covered his face and said, "Mother, I was wrong. We didn't say anything just now."

"What? What was said?" Li Lizhi and Li Yuxiu walked over side by side and asked curiously in unison.

Li Chengqian said with a stern face, "You are a little girl, don't meddle in other people's business."

"Oh!" Li Lizhi laughed, "It turns out that it was my elder brother who suffered at the hands of my mother."

Li Yuxiu continued with a smile, "There are only a few people who can make my elder brother suffer. If my father is not here, it must be my mother!"

Li Chengqian couldn't help laughing: "Did you two come here just to make fun of me?"

Li Lizhi smiled and shook her head: "It was just an unfortunate coincidence that we ran into my elder brother. Yuxiu and I came to see Zhinu. Mother, where is Zhinu?"

As she was speaking, the wet nurse brought back the little guy who had been wrapped up again. He had fallen asleep sweetly again. The two little girls didn't bother to talk to the eldest brother and hurried over to look at the younger brother.

"This is really a case of getting bored with the old and loving the new. Once a younger brother is born, one forgets about the older brother." Li Chengqian sighed.

Zhang Sun couldn't help but pat his arm and said, "Even when Li Zhi and the others were little, they didn't see you staying with me all the time. Don't you only have your brother in your heart?"

After chatting and laughing for a while, Li Tai also came over to greet his mother and take a look at his little brother who was not even a month old.

Li Chengqian had been busy for most of the year and seldom met with Li Tai. When he met him now, he took a closer look and found that except for his figure which remained the same as before, Li Tai had become much calmer and the expression on his face was concealed, and he looked like he had grown up.

Listening to his mother praising Qingque for his great progress in studying recently, Li Chengqian could only sigh. Adults and children are two completely different concepts. Li Tai has obviously grown up now, so what is he thinking?

It’s not that Li Chengqian wants to plot against him, but because of what happened in his previous life, it’s hard for Li Chengqian not to be paranoid.

Li Chengqian calculated in his mind, how many years are left before Li Tai officially takes the stage to fight him?

…

Li Chengqian was eventually dragged by the Heavenly Khan to a celebration banquet, and participated in a series of disposal issues after the conquest of the Eastern Turks. Therefore, he also witnessed the historical moment when the northwestern tribes requested the title of Heavenly Khan.

Li Shimin, who had heard these three words from his eldest son long ago, couldn't help but look at him, but all he got was a gesture of spreading his hands.

After everyone had dispersed, Li Shimin called his eldest son to his side and said with a smile, "It's been a few days, and you're still so unhappy. Did I cause you any trouble?"

Li Chengqian ignored the question and said with a straight face, "I just remembered something. I need to apply for a vacation of a year or so. Do you think I can approve it?"

Li Shimin also put away his smile and said seriously: "Tell me what it is first, and perhaps I can grant you two months' approval."

"I want to build a ship, a big ship." Li Chengqian gestured, "A very big ship."

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Cheng Qian, I've already said that the immortal mountain of immortality is all nonsense. Who told you such a thing?"

Who dares to lead the prince astray? Li Shimin has already thought of more than a dozen ways to deal with that person.

"What fairy mountain?" Li Chengqian felt puzzled. After a moment, he suddenly realized that it was all the fault of Fusu and Liu Ju's father, the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor Wu, a duo of immortal cultivators.

Li Chengqian was speechless. "I'm not looking for an immortal mountain. I'm saying that with a bigger ship, we can sail farther and do business with more countries. Why do you think of immortality in an immortal mountain when you mention ships? Aye, could it be that you want immortality?"

Li Shimin immediately said: "I don't want to!"

"These are all nonsense. If there really is a secret of immortality in the world, countless people since the Qin Emperor and the Han Emperor have spent so much effort to find it, but they have never found it. This shows that things about immortals are nothing but nonsense." Li Shimin spoke earnestly, fearing that his eldest son had also gone astray.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Since you think gods are illusory, why did you ask people to pray for rain during the drought last year?"

Li Shimin did not answer. He also smiled and asked, "Don't you know?"

Li Chengqian certainly knew that praying for rain was not just about asking God to rain, but like disaster relief, it was a way to appease the people, and the people needed this comfort.

"Alright, alright, let's get back to the shipbuilding..." Li Chengqian waved his hand, "Then... Father, do you agree to give me a vacation?"

Li Chengqian only said that the shipbuilding was for business, but Li Shimin thought of more. He thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Tomorrow I will ask them to find some people who are proficient in shipbuilding. Once the arrangements are made, you can tell them if you have any ideas."

"Okay, but let's first agree on how much vacation time you'll give me." Li Chengqian was very serious.

Li Shimin thought for a moment, then said, "Cheng Qian, is shipbuilding the only thing you're going to do? Look at me, Aye, how many things do I have to do every day..."

"That means I won't give you leave." Li Cheng pursed his lips.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "I will no longer assign you so many tasks, so that you can have more time to study shipbuilding. How about that?"

Li Chengqian actually didn't need to study shipbuilding. Thanks to Liu Ju and Guanjun Hou, they already had complete drawings, and after practice, he had a ready-made one that he could use.

He just wanted to take advantage of this vacation to be lazy. After all, Li Tai had already put pressure on him. In a few years of peaceful life, Li Chengqian would be forced to enter the arena. Before that, in addition to accumulating some energy for himself, he also wanted to be lazy for a while.

Once you start fighting with Li Tai, there will be no relaxing days.

——If Tian Khan still stands on Li Tai's side, Li Chengqian thought seriously, should he raise the white flag immediately?

——You are not French, don’t surrender so quickly. Li Chengqian encouraged himself and thought he could still hold on for a few more years. What if something unexpected happens? This time, there is still a chance of winning.

Li Chengqian reluctantly nodded and said, "Okay, but if you have any questions next time, you have to ask me first. I promise to give it to you first, okay?"

Shipbuilding - Li Chengqian was thinking at the same time, shipbuilding is good, maybe one day I can run away on the ship, the world is so big, the Khan will never be able to find him again.

Li Shimin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "It seems like I am making things difficult for you..."

Which prince received such treatment? His father and emperor sent important ministers to the Eastern Palace, and even taught them personally, without caring at all about his friendships with civil and military officials - even though Li Chengqian had no intention of making friends at all, the prince never appreciated it and only tried every possible way to escape.

Only Cheng Qian was like this. Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh silently when thinking about it. This must be because Cheng Qian was still uneasy and uneasy. He couldn't fully trust his father who depended on him.

Seeing that Tian Khan was silent, Li Chengqian hurriedly said, "Aye, don't forget, you still owe me a reward. We agreed that you can exchange it later. It's a perfect time to exchange it with this now!"

Li Shimin came back to his senses, smiled and said, "You don't have to use your reward, Aye has promised you."

Li Chengqian immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Father."

After standing up, he added, "That reward can be saved for next time. I have to write it down so I don't forget it."

Seeing his eldest son actually trying to dip his pen into ink, Li Shimin stopped him with a smile, saying, "Can I still refuse your reward? And if you write it down, do you want me to sign and seal it?"

Li Chengqian explained, "My memory isn't very good. If I don't write it down and forget it later, wouldn't that be a huge loss of benefit?"

"I won't give you any less." Li Shimin took the pen from his eldest son. "Father, remember, I will definitely give you more benefits."

Suddenly, his free hand clenched twice, and Li Chengqian removed the glass ornament that served as a paperweight. He nodded and said, "Alright, your words are true, and your words are as good as mine. Father, I'll remember them for you."

Li Shimin didn't remind him that he had a bad memory. He just smiled and said, "You remember it, and I remember it too. You and I, father and son, must remember it well. We can't all forget it, right?"
