"Hahahaha..."
Feng Beichuan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud. He finally understood what was going on and couldn't help but look at the young prince with new respect.
Thinking that perhaps he was unable to enjoy the same sumptuous dishes in the palace while staying in the military camp, he wrote down all the dish names on paper as a way to quench his thirst by looking at plums.
Feng Beichuan felt like he was about to burst out laughing, and he really didn't know what to say to this kid.
"You're smiling so happily, is it because you want to become a chef with him?"
Li Chang'an glanced at the man beside him who was grinning from ear to ear with annoyance.
"Forget it, I don't have that talent!"
Feng Beichuan waved his hands repeatedly, finally managing to stop laughing.
Seeing that he had already been exposed, Li Changsheng became bolder and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "What's wrong with being a royal chef? I can eat so much good food every day. It's better than staying here..."
Li Chang'an naturally heard all these complaints clearly, and she immediately frowned slightly and slammed her hand on the table.
"You think those cooks make food for themselves? If that were the case, they'd all starve! You're so young and already thinking about not making any progress; you'll never even have the chance to starve in the future!"
Li Chang'an gave the little brat a stern lecture, which made the child lower his head and not dare to say another word.
Feng Beichuan, who was listening from the side, was also stunned. He didn't expect that Li Chang'an was quite good at educating children.
However, this will make things difficult for her own child in the future. Having such a strict mother will likely mean being scolded every day.
If that's the case, why not become a loving father yourself to complement each other?
As he pondered, Feng Beichuan couldn't help but let his mind wander, but he quickly put away his chaotic thoughts. Otherwise, if Li Chang'an found out, wouldn't he be kicked out?
The road ahead is long, we can't rush it!
Composing himself, Feng Beichuan put on a serious expression and said righteously, "Your elder sister is right. You are the Crown Prince. How can you only think about eating, drinking, and having fun all day long? Aren't you afraid that others will say you have no ambition?"
Feng Beichuan's words struck a chord with Li Chang'an at that moment, and she nodded in agreement, a rare occurrence for her, saying, "Look, even the Regent is saying this, shouldn't you reflect on your actions?"
Although Li Chang'an's words were not meant to be derogatory, Feng Beichuan found them strange no matter how he listened to them.
What do you mean even he said that? Could it be that I'm considered a very improper person by Li Chang'an?
Now it was Feng Beichuan's turn to feel depressed.
Although he was very unhappy, Li Changsheng didn't argue back. He knew that he couldn't win against the other party's two mouths, so he simply lowered his head and remained silent, pretending to be reflecting on his own actions.
Looking at the child, Li Chang'an couldn't help but sigh, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
Indeed, compared to his time in the palace, Li Changsheng's life in the military camp has not been as comfortable. He has become noticeably thinner and is no longer as fair-skinned as before, but he seems to have grown quite a bit taller.
"Alright, let's call it a day!"
Li Chang'an spoke helplessly.
Upon hearing that he could finally end his miserable calligraphy practice career for the time being, Li Changsheng couldn't help but beam with joy. He casually tossed the brush in his hand onto the table and jumped off the stool.
"Hey, hey, what's wrong with you? If you're not using the pen anymore, you should put it away properly!"
Upon seeing that the child had revealed his true colors, Li Chang'an raised his eyebrows and stopped him.
"oh……"
Li Changsheng nodded, then reluctantly went back to put the brush away.
"You must always remember that you are the Crown Prince of Sheng Nan Kingdom. I know that the food in the military camp is not as good as that in the palace, but there is a saying that goes, 'No pain, no gain.' Your current hardship is only temporary. In the future, you will have plenty of time to eat all 108 dishes of imperial cuisine in the palace. You must cherish your current days, because you may not have the chance to come again in the future."
As Li Chang'an spoke, he reached out to help Li Changsheng tidy up the table.
It was rare for her to speak so much in one breath, but she felt it was necessary to teach Li Changsheng more because he was still young and didn't understand many things.
After tidying up the table, Li Changsheng nodded as if he understood, and looked at the woman in front of him, opening his mouth as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Li Chang'an's heart skipped a beat, wondering if his words had somehow touched the child.
"Then...can I go play now?"
The beautiful fantasy was shattered by the cruel reality in the next second.
Even Feng Beichuan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but facepalm. Originally, he had the same thoughts as Li Chang'an, because he felt a bit emotional after hearing what Li Chang'an had just said.
"Go ahead, but be careful!"
Li Chang'an was speechless and waved helplessly at the child.
After receiving permission, Li Changsheng resumed his cheerful demeanor and happily ran out.
This child is truly beyond redemption!
"well……"
Watching that tiny figure disappear in a flash, Li Chang'an couldn't help but shake his head and sigh helplessly.
"Children always love to play, don't rush, take your time. Besides, with Your Highness as an elder sister to guide him, I believe the young prince won't be too bad."
Feng Beichuan walked up to Li Chang'an, offering words of comfort while casually patting the woman's shoulder, and adding a few flattering remarks.
After thinking about it again, Li Chang'an felt that what he said made sense, so he stopped worrying about it and turned to leave the tent.
"Chang An? Why are you back?"
They hadn't gone far when they saw Ye Lingxiao walking towards them from a distance.
Upon seeing Li Chang'an, Ling Xiao's face was filled with undisguised joy, and he quickly quickened his pace to go forward.
"I was a little worried about being away from the military camp for so long, so I came back to check on things."
Li Chang'an was also very happy to see Ling Xiao. She had a slight smile on her face and then asked, "Did you just get back too?"
Ye Lingxiao scratched his head somewhat awkwardly: "There are some things in the manor that I need to go back to handle during this period. Father is getting old and there are many things he is willing to do but unable to do. But don't worry, I have taken care of everything in the army before I left."
"Why are you being so polite with me? Didn't I already tell you to take care of the old Marquis? If you really can't get away, you can put the matters in the military camp aside for the time being."
"It's alright, everything has been taken care of, Chang'an. Don't worry, I'll manage the military affairs for you while you're away."
Looking at the smiling woman in front of him, Ye Lingxiao's eyes and brows softened.
"cut!"
At that moment, a discordant voice suddenly came from between the two.
