Li Shen and Li Chengqian were eager to return home, and the road got better and better the further south they went. Although the weather was colder, it was not like Goguryeo where they had to be beaten with sticks when peeing.

Moreover, both the crown prince and Li Shen's guards were riding horses. Although the supplies they brought were horse-drawn carriages, their marching speed was definitely much faster than with infantry.

It took them less than a month to arrive outside Chang'an City.

The journey was relatively smooth, and there were no delays. Mainly because the two of them were anxious to get home.

This time when he came back, he was not like Li Shen who had to go to the city at any time. Li Chengqian calculated the time and set off two hours in advance.

There was still an hour before the city gate closed. The two teams had already arrived in front of the city gate.

The military guards guarding the city did not dare to neglect the honor guard when they saw the prince, and immediately reported it to the general.

The two of them stood in front of the city gate and looked at Chang'an City for a long time, as if they were in another world.

It's freezing cold outside, but bustling and bustling inside.

Both of them knew the rules and ordered their troops to return to their bases. They only took their own guards into the city. As soon as they arrived at the city gate, they saw Wang De waiting at the city gate.

"Congratulations to Your Highness, Prince Ji, on his triumphant return. This old slave has been waiting here for a long time. His Majesty has decreed that the two of you should enter the palace immediately to meet the Holy Spirit."

Wang De said with a smile on his face when he saw the two of them.

Li Chengqian was relatively polite to Wang De, knowing that this was the person Li Shimin trusted the most, and he had respected Wang De since he was a child.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang."

"Your Highness, you are welcome." Wang De is a smart man and knows who he is.

"Oh, Old Wang, you are so fat. You are arrogant in the palace as soon as I see you. Look how thin I have become." Li Shen also saw Wang De from a young age, but this guy I have never met Wang De.

Wang De also liked Li Shen the most, so he and Li Shen were much closer than other princes. This was also known to Li Shimin.

Wang De was not angry when he heard Li Shen's teasing, his smile became even brighter, and he said to Li Shen:

"His Royal Highness Prince Ji, please stop making fun of me. I accompany you all the time. How dare you act arrogantly?"

"Okay, okay, I don't know about your naughty things, so I'm here to reward you. I feel so sorry for you to wait for us here in this cold weather."

After Li Shen finished speaking, he took two gold bars from Shitou's hand and handed them to Wang De. Li Chengqian on the side was dumbfounded. Not to mention Li Chengqian, even the soldiers guarding the city were dumbfounded.

Is this King Ji seriously ill? He openly bribed the harem manager, and he was also Li Shimin's personal eunuch and the top leader of the harem.

Do you think you have a long life?

Li Chengqian only heard that Li Shen and Li Shimin had been fighting wits and courage since childhood, and that they had bribed Li Shimin, but he had never heard Li Shimin say that Li Shen bribed Wang De.

These are two different things. Bribing Li Shimin means Li Shimin is just playing with you, but Wang De is different. Even he does not dare to have too much contact with Wang De and Li An.

Not to mention bribery, his brother is either crazy or really doesn't understand this.

This is a taboo, and Li Shen will be punished if he fails.

Just when Li Chengqian wanted to stop him, the next scene shocked him even more. Wang De actually took Li Shen's two small yellow croakers with a smile.

And he said to Li Shen with a smile:

"Oh, King Ji is too polite. These are all things ordered by His Majesty. I am also carrying out His Majesty's will. I would like to thank His Highness King Ji for the reward."

He accepted it, he actually accepted it, Wang De actually accepted Li Shen's reward. This is Li Chengqian's inner monologue at this moment.

I saw Li Shen actually waved his hand lightly, saying you're welcome, and continued:

"It's just a small thing. I haven't rewarded others for a long time. I've been a little unscrupulous recently."

This sentence made the defenders of the city and Li Chengqian fall to pieces.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness Prince Ji, then follow the old slave into the palace." Wang De said respectfully.

Then the two got on the carriage and followed Wang De to the palace.

In the Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin was reviewing the memorial. At this time, Wang De came in and said to Li Shimin:

"Everyone, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Prince Ji have brought him back and are waiting outside the palace."

"Oh, I came back very quickly. I thought it would be like last time. Our King Ji was preparing to attack the city. Let them come in." Li Shimin raised his head and said

Li Chengqian and Li Shen saluted Li Shimin after entering.

"I've seen Aye."

"Aye, I haven't seen you for a few months. I see that Aye is still so majestic and extraordinary. Dragon..."

"Okay, you've said this to me several times and you haven't made any progress at all. I told you to study hard and you had to go into business." Li Shimin interrupted Li Shen's flattery.

Li Shen came to hear these words every time, and he was a little happy to hear them at first, but everyone got tired of hearing them all the time.

After speaking, Li Shimin stood up and walked down the steps, came to Li Chengqian, patted Li Chengqian's arm with his hand, and then said with a smile:

"Not bad, I'm a lot stronger and more energetic."

"Thank you Aye for the compliment." Li Chengqian quickly replied.

He doesn't have Li Shen's ability. He can talk and laugh in front of Li Shimin without showing any signs of restraint. He can even be a little clever.

He heard that Li Shimin wanted to beat Li Shen. Li Shen ran away twice, and Li Shimin chased him. When he first saw this, he thought it was a fairy tale.

The first thought was to spread lies, which was definitely false. If the emperor wanted to beat someone, would anyone dare to run away? I don't want my life,

But later Li Chengqian saw it with his own eyes and believed it was true. At that time, he felt that his younger brother was extremely bold. He didn't take the emperor seriously at all. He was more afraid of Li Shimin's father's identity than his emperor's identity.

"Aye, you see I'm a lot stronger too," Li Shen flexed his arms beside him, trying to show off his biceps.

Li Shimin didn't even glance at it, and said to Li Chengqian:

"Let's talk in the study."

As he walked towards the study alone, Li Chengqian glanced at Li Shen. Li Shen said to Li Chengqian seriously:

"Brother, look at me, I'm really much stronger," he said, showing off again.

Li Chengqian turned around and followed Li Shimin.

"Hey~~? What I said is true." After saying that, he squeezed it twice with his hands.

When the two of them entered Li Shimin's study, Li Shimin was making tea himself. Li Shen hurried over to show his courtesy.

"Aye, come on."

Li Shimin did not argue and gave way. Li Shen skillfully began to clean the tea bowl and start making tea.

Li Shen was very familiar with this tea set. He also had one at home. There were only two sets in the entire Tang Dynasty or the whole world. His set was stolen from Li Shimin, and Li Shimin found out about it later.

(Yesterday I asked everyone to share their experiences, and there were all kinds of experiences shared. A few people also told me that I started in second gear. Brother, you must have a background in driving a car.

You guys are so out of tune,

Go home today to tidy up the earth and let the meeting end. )
