Tang Dynasty: Consort Wu? Your Majesty, please address her as the Crown Prince's Consort.

Seeing the general blocking his way like an iron tower, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

He, a dignified emperor, actually had to wait for an announcement before entering the Eastern Palace.

A little while later, Li Chengqian rushed out, holding a half-eaten crane leg in his hand.

"Oh dear! It's Father! You should have said so sooner! Look at the mess you've made! Why didn't you say so sooner? Why didn't you say so sooner?"

However, although Li Chengqian said that, he just stood at the door with a smile and looked at him, without any intention of inviting him in.

"You unfilial son!!! What do you mean by this?! Don't you dare let me in!!"

"Oh dear! Why didn't you say you wanted to come in earlier? Why didn't you say so sooner?"

"Come, come! Rengui! Quickly invite our Emperor in!"

Upon hearing his lord speak, Xue Rengui immediately cupped his hands in greeting and then gestured for Li Shimin to proceed.

"Your Majesty! Forgive me! Please!"

Seeing this, Li Shimin also snorted coldly and said:

"You're quite loyal! What incredible luck that rebellious son had to have a general like you! Why don't you come and serve me?"

"Your Majesty flatters me! His Highness the Crown Prince has been kind to me, and I only wish to serve by His Highness's side!"

Li Shimin glanced at Xue Rengui, whose face was resolute, then looked at Li Chengqian and snorted coldly, saying:

"Hmph! You unfilial son, you're quite lucky!"

Upon seeing Li Shimin arrive in the main hall of the Eastern Palace, Wu Zetian quickly rose and bowed.

"Your subject greets Your Majesty!"

Looking at Wu Zetian before him, Li Shimin couldn't help but reveal a complex expression on his originally angry face.

He simply nodded slowly without saying anything more.

Although the matter was complicated, in Li Shimin's eyes it was nothing more than a prettier woman. As the emperor, what kind of woman didn't he have?

So he ignored Wu Zetian and turned to his rebellious son, saying:

"You unfilial son! Where is my crane? Return it to me at once! Don't you know it was an offering!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, then deliberately put on an innocent look, his big, bright eyes filled with confusion.

"That thing is a crane? Your Majesty, I thought it was one of your fat chickens. It's quite handsome!"

puff~

As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, Wu Zetian couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Upon seeing this, Li Shimin's face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"You scoundrel! That's a crane! Give it back to me right now, or I'll teach you a lesson!!!"

However, upon hearing his father's words, Li Chengqian slowly handed over the half-eaten chicken leg he was holding.

"Ahem! I'm sorry! Father, your crane looks so delicious that I couldn't resist. There should be half left in the kitchen. Why don't you take it back and have a taste?"

Don't be so polite with me, son. We're like father and son, we're practically family!

Seeing Li Chengqian's innocent expression, Li Shimin's eyes turned red!

His bloodshot eyes were fixed on the unfilial son in front of him, while his hands skillfully went to untie the jade belt at his waist.

Seeing that things were not going well, Li Chengqian turned around and ran away.

"You unfilial son! Stop right there! Today I'll show you what the wrath of an emperor truly means!!"

"Hey? Dad, calm down! You need to calm down. A gentleman uses words, not fists!"

Looking at the jade belt in Li Shimin's hand, Li Chengqian felt a chill run down his spine.

Wouldn't you get bruises all over if you slapped with that stuff?

Li Shimin was slightly taken aback when he saw his rebellious son turn and run away without hesitation.

He stared in disbelief at Li Chengqian, who was turning his head without turning back, and shouted angrily:

"You unfilial son! You dare to run away? Stop right there!!!"

Upon hearing his old man's words, Li Chengqian looked at him as if he were a fool and said:

"Do I look like an idiot? If you want to hit me, am I supposed to just stand there and let you hit me instead of running away?"

Hey hey!

What you said makes absolute LORD!

Seeing that Li Chengqian not only refused to stand there and let him hit him, but also dared to run away and provoke him, Li Shimin was furious!

bass!

Li Shimin immediately threw away the jade belt in his hand and casually drew the sword from the waist of a soldier beside him.

"You brat, look me in the eye! If I don't chop you up today, I'll take your surname!!!"

"Holy crap! Old man! Are you serious? I'm your own son!!"

Li Chengqian was dumbfounded when he saw the sword in Li Shimin's hand.

So, in the courtyard of the Eastern Palace, Li Shimin held a sword in his hand, while Li Chengqian in front of him desperately dodged.

He fled, he chased, but he couldn't escape!

However, Li Chengqian ultimately underestimated the value of the title of General of the Heavenly Strategy.

Taking advantage of Li Chengqian's unpreparedness, Li Shimin swiftly stepped forward and seized Li Chengqian.

Before he could react, Li Shimin swung his sword and slapped the side of it hard across Li Chengqian's buttocks!

Snapped! ! !

"Aww~"

Li Shimin used almost ninety percent of his strength this time, and a pain shot through him, causing Li Chengqian to grimace in pain!

"Li Er!! How dare you hit me?! I'm going to tell my imperial grandfather!!"

"Oh dear~ You dare threaten me? You'd better escape my grasp first!"

Snapped!

"Aww!!!"

Before Li Chengqian could react, Li Shimin went up and stabbed him again.

He really wanted to run, but the system only enhanced his arms.

Given his running speed, he was no match for his old man; even if he broke free, he would be caught up in no time.

Wu Zetian, watching the interaction between the father and son in the courtyard, couldn't help but show a look of surprise. She never expected that her prince and the emperor would get along like this. Wasn't the emperor supposed to be the most concerned about his reputation?

However, little did he know that Li Shimin was not like this with his other sons. It was only when he got angry with Li Chengqian that he couldn't hold back for a moment!

After an unknown amount of time, Li Shimin finally released Li Chengqian and then stretched comfortably.

It's been so long since I've exercised like this. It feels great to work up a light sweat. I guess I'll have to come here more often!

On the other hand, Li Chengqian was covering his bottom with a wronged expression, and a tear was unconsciously rolling down his cheek. He looked exactly like a little wife who had just been bullied!

Seeing him like this, Li Shimin felt refreshed.

This is so satisfying. No wonder Cheng Yaojin likes to beat his son so much.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin glanced at the aggrieved-looking Li Chengqian beside him and said:

"What are you pretending for? I held back; it's not even a scratch!"

Having said that, he didn't bother with Li Chengqian anymore, but turned to Wu Zetian, who was watching the show from the side, and said:

"Have someone pack up my half of a crane; I want to taste what this crane is like!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Zetian was slightly taken aback, and then quickly replied:

"Yes, Your Majesty! I will go and give the order immediately!"
