This is a tasteless family dinner.

The dishes are not rich, and although the taste is acceptable, in Li Chenan's taste, it is not as delicious as the one in Juxian Pavilion.

Maybe he was affected by this atmosphere.

During the dinner, the emperor said a lot, none of which was about the government of Ning State or the suffering of the people, but mostly teachings to his sons.

For example, brothers should be like siblings.

For example, this is the country of the Ning family. We should work together to manage this country.

For example, he was very dissatisfied with the prince's fat appearance, and made many sharp criticisms of the prince's weak character, etc.

This made His Royal Highness the Prince sit on pins and needles, and cold sweat had never appeared on his chubby face.

It wasn't until the banquet was about to end that the emperor looked at Li Chenan.

Li Chenan had been eating and drinking, and he just put down his chopsticks.

"How does it taste?"

"Oh, it's okay to return to the emperor!"

"Are you full?"

"Seven points!"

The prince's stomach rumbled, he swallowed and looked at Li Chenan enviously.

"Three points left?"

"Leave three points."

Emperor Ning smiled slightly: "Why?"

"There should be room for it!"

When is there any room?!

These four words have quite a flavor.

Not only was the emperor slightly startled, but even the second prince, who had always been arrogant, glanced at Li Chenan at this moment.

"What is leeway?"

Li Chenan grinned:

"What if His Highness the Second Highness wants to invite me to have a drink at Yihong Mansion... I'm so stuffed right now, how can I keep drinking for a while?"

The emperor was speechless.

The second prince accepted this sentence and said, "Then why don't we go to Yihong Mansion for a drink?"

Li Chenan waved his hand, "Not tonight."

"What's going on tonight?"

"If the chicken is stewed in water, no matter what, I have to go back and drink a bowl of chicken soup stewed by her."

"Oh, by the way, Second Highness, remember to tell me before going to Shuzhou."

Ning Zhixing suddenly felt bad again.

"What? Are you going to give me a farewell party?"

"no."

"Why is that?"

"Tell His Highness about the customs and customs of Shuzhou."

I want you to talk about this!

Of course, Ning Zhixing already knew about Shuzhou. This Li Chenan was clearly a weasel paying New Year greetings to a chicken with no good intentions!

Fortunately, his father still did not set a time limit for him to leave Kyoto.

"I heard that you have never left Guangling City, how do you know the customs and customs of Shuzhou?"

This was not what the second prince Ning Zhixing asked, because he would never mention the word Shuzhou.

This question was asked by the curious third prince Ning Zhiyuan.

Li Chenan chuckled: "The Third Highness has been practicing martial arts for ten years, and you can know the subtlety of the sword when you hold the sword. The Second Highness has been fond of women for ten years, and you can tell the beauty of a woman by smelling her fragrance."

"I have been studying for more than ten years. Although I have never left Guangling City, I know everything about the world."

"Nothing else, just love."

Prince Ning Zhiyi's little eyes suddenly lit up, thinking that the sentence he said before about the road to Shu is difficult to climb to the sky was found in a certain book.

This royal brother is indeed knowledgeable!

No wonder his father favored him so much.

But at this time, the second prince Ning Zhixing felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. I do like women, but you can tell a woman by smelling her fragrance... No!

He suddenly looked at Emperor Ning, "What I like about my son is not women!"

"good!"

A loud shout.

This good word was not said by Emperor Ning, but by Li Chenan who was sitting next to the second prince.

The second prince's heart trembled, and he turned to look at Li Chenan again, feeling a strong uneasiness rising in his heart for no reason.

Because there is no way this guy can carry his sedan chair!

really.

He then saw Li Chenan bowing his hands to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, I have long heard that His Royal Highness Prince De practiced martial arts at the age of three and studied military books at the age of five. Now he is not only a master of martial arts, but his military strategies are even praised by the general!"

"I think that the emperor just said that all the princes should serve the interests of the country, which is a great kindness!"

"As a member of the royal family, you should set an example for everyone in the world!"

"Your Highness, are you right to say this?!"

The second prince was startled, his mind was spinning wildly, and he couldn't find the fault with his words.

"I am not worthy of the praise of a general."

"I know this,"

The second prince was in bad shape again.

"What I'm asking is, as a member of the royal family, you should set an example for the world. Is this right?!"

No one knew what kind of medicine Li Chenan was selling in his gourd, and Emperor Ning couldn't even guess it.

Ning Zhixing knew it must be poison, but he couldn't deny it!

If he denies it, wouldn't it mean that he would rather be timid than be the first to lead the world?

So, he nodded: "You are right!"

"Okay! This is your highness's courage and responsibility!"

"emperor!"

Li Chenan bowed his hand to Emperor Ning again, "There is a saying among our people that a donkey or a horse must be dragged around... This is not quite appropriate, but that's pretty much what it means."

"Suppressing bandits is a small matter."

"Compared to a battlefield lined with thousands of troops and swords and guns, suppressing bandits is not worth mentioning!"

"So I am thinking that the second prince likes to lead troops to fight, but after all he has not been able to show off his majesty on the real battlefield. If it really goes to the battlefield, it would be too dangerous, so why not... accompany me to Shuangjiao Mountain to suppress bandits for training

practice?"

"Your Highness, do you dare or not?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent.

Emperor Ning looked at Li Chenan meaningfully, but his eyes fell on Ning Zhixing's face.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was overjoyed, Li Chenan's hand was so beautiful!

If Shuangjiao Mountain is a game, and Li Chenan brings the second prince into that game, the person who planned it will face a dilemma!

If Li Chenan were to be killed, I'm afraid Ning Zhixing would have to be buried with Li Chenan!

If he couldn't take action against Li Chen'an, the game at Shuangjiao Mountain would be declared a failure.

Li Chenan will generously bring the people from the Imperial City Department to transport the amount of tax grains for that day to Kyoto. He will become the greatest hero of Ningguo!

This is definitely not what Ji Tai and his family want to see.

Li Chenan's skillful move at this time turned the world around immediately. He really turned his hand to make clouds and his hand made rain!

Good move!
