He had originally thought he could show off his power in front of his father today, but it ended before it even started. In the end, it can only be said that Li Tai was too unlucky. He could fly over the entire palace, so why did he have to fly to the inner palace?

Moreover, when faced with such a situation, Empress Zhangsun and Lin Fan could not speak up for Li Tai; they could only silently pray for him in their hearts.

Not long after, under Li Tai's control, the drone flew back smoothly. He jogged forward, picked it up, and brought it to Li Shimin. He then immediately bowed and admitted his mistake.

"Father, I was wrong."

"Alright, get up."

Li Shimin was not the kind of person who was stubborn and inflexible. Just now, in front of everyone, Li Tai really didn't have the guts to do it on purpose.

Empress Zhangsun, who was standing to the side, felt relieved upon seeing this scene.

Li Shimin ignored Li Tai and turned to look at Lin Fan. He knew that Lin Fan must have bought this magical item for Li Tai.

"Xiao Fan, is this item expensive? Can we buy it in bulk?"

Lin Fan knew Li Shimin's plan and nodded with a smile, saying, "It's not particularly expensive. One of your cars could buy a hundred of these machines."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin did a quick calculation in his mind and realized that it was equivalent to only two strings of cash per unit, a price he could afford.

"How about this?" Li Shimin pointed to the drone in Li Tai's arms. "I'll pay for it. You can help buy five hundred of them and send them over."

"No problem." Lin Fan nodded. "But five hundred units is definitely a big deal, and it will probably take some time to distribute the goods."

"It's alright, I'm not in a hurry. You can handle this matter as you see fit."

At present, the Tang Dynasty only has one foreign war, which is the expedition against the Japanese pirates. Moreover, the war is basically coming to an end, and drones, such a valuable tool, are completely useless against a single Japanese pirate.

"Okay, I'll go back and make some contact first. Even if we don't have enough stock, it shouldn't be difficult to send some over in batches."

"Hmm." After discussing the matter, Li Shimin turned his attention back to the drone.

"Well then, Qingque, how about I try out this machine too?"

Upon hearing this, Li Tai dared not refuse and immediately rushed to Li Shimin's side, then began to explain the operating techniques of the drone in detail. Li Shimin was a smart man, and he learned almost everything in just half an hour.

As he piloted the drone back and forth a few times, a smile crept onto Li Shimin's lips.

"Hey bastard, what do you think? Isn't this drone amazing?" Li Tai asked with a fawning expression.

Li Shimin smiled and nodded. He really liked this thing, but unfortunately, Lin Fan said that it would take some time before a batch could be sent over.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin turned to look at Li Tai, then whispered, "Qingque, since you have nothing else to do, how about lending this drone to Father for a few days?"

"Huh?" Li Tai was stunned. "Father, my brother actually bought one for you too, we brought it with us..."

"Oh?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up. "So there are two? That's even better! Father was worried that one wouldn't be enough. What do you think?"

Li Shimin's attitude was extremely gentle, giving people a refreshing feeling, but did Li Tai dare to say no?

In the end, Li Tai could only force a smile and nod, "Okay, okay, if Father likes it, then take it too."

"Hmm, Qingque is the most sensible one." Seeing Li Tai's understanding, Li Shimin patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, your father will return it to you in a few days when the new machine is delivered."

Upon hearing this, Li Tai's face broke into a smile that looked more like a grimace.

Empress Zhangsun, who was standing to the side, felt that Li Shimin's actions were somewhat unkind. How could a father take his son's things? But considering what had just happened, she could only say that Li Tai deserved his bad luck.

Back at the villa, Li Tai, who had been pouting the whole time, finally couldn't hold back anymore and collapsed onto the sofa, bursting into tears.

"Young master, what's wrong with His Highness Prince Wei?" Mingyue asked curiously. She and Qiuxia hadn't returned to the Tang Dynasty, so they naturally didn't know what had happened.

"We're out of chicken at Erguotou~" Before Lin Fan could answer, the little princess pointed at Li Tai on the sofa and said.

There was no pity in her eyes, only pure curiosity. After all, you can't eat a drone, and she couldn't understand why Li Tai cared so much about it.

"Pfft." Lin Fan suppressed a laugh and covered the little princess's mouth. "Uh, it's nothing, you don't need to worry about it. He's probably thinking about something sad." Lin Fan could only give a vague answer to this question.

Seeing Li Tai so heartbroken, Chang Le thought of the drone in her room, sighed, shook her head, and turned to go back to her room.

A short while later, Chang Le returned downstairs carrying the box containing the drone. She placed it in front of Li Tai, then patted him on the shoulder.

"Second brother, don't cry. You can use mine for now."

Upon hearing this, Li Tai looked up with teary eyes, a clear snot hanging from his nose. Seeing this, Lin Fan immediately tore off two tissues and handed them to him.

"Alright, you're a grown man, why are you crying like that? Is it really that big of a deal?"

Li Tai reached out and took the tissue, his whole body still sobbing, his fat face trembling. Looking at his younger sister's concerned expression, tears streamed down his face again. "Changle, my good sister, I haven't spoiled you for nothing."

A hint of helplessness flashed in Chang Le's eyes. "Second brother, alright, stop crying. If you keep crying, I won't lend you the drone."

Faced with Chang Le's "threat", Li Tai quickly wiped away his tears, as if afraid that Chang Le would change her mind. He immediately picked up the box in front of him.

"Chang Le, are you really willing to lend it to me?"

Chang Le waved her hand dismissively, "Take it, take it." Then she added, "I can give it to you, but you mustn't forget to give this money to Brother Lin Fan."

Upon hearing this, Li Tai nodded frantically like a chicken pecking at rice, "Don't worry, I'll take whatever price you ask for. I'll get it for my brother when I return to the Prince's Mansion next time."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Lin Fan glanced at the takeout bags on the table in the distance. "Mingyue, let's prepare lunch first. We'll have chicken for lunch today!"

"I want to eat!"

The little princess immediately became interested when she heard about eating chicken, and kept looking around, searching for any chicken in sight.

"Brother Lin Fan, where's the chicken?"

"Your Highness, the chicken is here!" Mingyue returned to the living room carrying the bag. As soon as she opened it, Xiao Sizi smelled the familiar aroma.

..........

In the afternoon, Lin Fan took out the receipt for the drone he bought and called the number left on it.
