As the prince's grandson, he is naturally surrounded by people who cheer him up and support him, and there is no one who is mediocre.
So even in a small place like Lai'an County, a table of decent wine and food was quickly prepared.
It's a pity that although the food and wine are good, the atmosphere at the table makes people feel unappetizing.
Li Ziting was very disgusted with the conditions in Lai'an County. He squinted his eyes and said with dissatisfaction: "There is something wrong with you two. You have to come to such a remote and remote place where birds don't shit. I really don't know what you are thinking!"
"
Li Zian took a sip of wine and said, "It doesn't matter whether it's a remote country or a wilderness, I didn't invite you here. If you don't think it's good here, then go back to your Yingtian Mansion!"
"Li Zi'an, do you talk to your brother like this?" Li Ziting exploded with a poke, "Is this how your family taught you?"
Although Li Ziting had the sense to not directly say that his tutor was not good, nor did he mention Prince Rui, the word family still deeply irritated Li Zi'an.
He looked up at Li Ziting, unknown emotions rolling in his eyes, as oppressive as the black waves crashing against the coast one after another.
"My family has taught me since I was a child that brothers and sisters should be respectful to each other, but no one told me what should my younger brother do if my elder brother is not friendly enough."
When Li Ziting heard this, a flash of anger flashed through his eyes.
"It's rare for the three of us brothers to get together, do you have to do this?" Li Zixun rubbed his forehead helplessly, "Wouldn't it be better for everyone to have a nice meal together?"
"I do think so!" Li Zi'an lowered his eyes after hearing what he said, covering his eyes against the disgust he felt towards Li Ziting, "It's a pity that some people just take the wrong medicine and don't know how to speak properly, which ruins the atmosphere.
"
boom!
Li Ziting was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up and said: "Li Zi'an, as a junior, you came to Yingtian Mansion and didn't know how to visit the elders at Brother Xun's house and my house. You didn't even say hello. How can you still care about me?"
Strictly speaking, Li Zian did something wrong in this matter.
But when he came here this time, he had nothing to do. He was still thinking of going back to Huguang with Shen Tianshu, and going to Yingtian Mansion was just a pretense.
There were so many royal relatives and old friends in the city that he simply didn't go to anyone's house. Otherwise, once he got started, he would have to spend more than a month just visiting and having dinner and banquets.
It's a pity that he was really unlucky this time. He was already preparing to leave, but he met Li Zixun on the street and insisted on sending him back to An County. Then he inexplicably attracted the evil star Li Ziting.
Li Zixun also had a headache. Although the two cousins were similar in age, they had always disliked each other.
When they were still ignorant children, they had already fought many times. When they grew up, they no longer started fighting at the slightest disagreement, but it was still difficult for them to even sit together and have a normal meal.
"When I came to South Zhili this time, I didn't plan to go to Yingtian Mansion. I just came to the Jiang family's old house because of my father's illness." Li Zian said coldly, "The reason why I went to Yingtian Mansion is also
I went shopping for my grandmother. I didn’t want to disturb the elders, but I was afraid that they would worry about my father’s illness again. It was not a big deal in the first place, but when it came to my cousin’s mouth, he made it sound like he had violated heaven’s rules.”
Li Zixun didn't wait for Li Ziting to speak, and immediately interjected to confirm that it was indeed a coincidence that he met Li Zian, and that Li Zian had just bought something from the store at that time.
I could barely finish the dinner without anyone throwing cups, bowls, or tables during the meal. It could be said that it was all thanks to Li Zixun to smooth things over.
Although Li Zi'an and Li Ziting dislike each other, they still respect their cousin who is several years older than them.
The meal lasted for more than half an hour, and Li Zixun, who had been doing peacemaking for a long time, was very tired.
Mainly I'm tired.
After dinner, the two of them had nowhere else to go, and there was no decent place in Lai'an County, so even though Li Ziting looked unhappy, he finally had to live in the house rented by Fan Yuru.
Just when Li Ziting was dissatisfied with everything in the room, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside.
"Who?" Li Ziting asked impatiently.
This ghost place is really unbearable. Everywhere is shabby and the room is pitifully small. You can hear knocking on the door clearly from outside.
"Ziting, it's me!" Li Zixun's voice sounded outside the door.
The servant hurried over and opened the door. Li Ziting sneered and said, "My cousin is really in a good mood. You weren't tired enough just trying to break up the fight at the table, right? You still have time to come find me after it's so late."
Li Zixun waved his hand and sent all the servants out of the room. He sat down at the table, rubbed his brows tiredly and said: "It's rare for Zian to come over here. Although you are about the same age as him, you are still an elder brother after all.
Do you want to be like this as soon as we meet?"
"It's not the first day you met me, so I don't like him, can't you?" Li Ziting was lying on the couch with his legs crossed, looking like he was not stingy, "He is the youngest among us, but he is the youngest among us.
But he is the only one who has been named the crown prince. We are still all county princes!
"Besides, are you really as affectionate as brothers as you show? It's okay for you to lie to that fool Li Zian, but there's no need to lie to me. Neither of us knows who is who!"
After hearing this, Li Zixun was not angry. Instead, he put down the gentle smile that had been hanging on his face, tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Li Zian used to look for good doctors everywhere, but most of them were limited to Huguang.
Now that you have found such a young lady, and even come all the way to the Jiang family's old house to search for medical records, you are afraid that Prince Rui is really dying, right?"
"What's the point of dragging it on like this for more than three years even if you still have some breath? It's better to die early and be born early." Li Ziting rolled his eyes and said, "Li Zian is now the crown prince professed by the imperial court, and there is a concubine behind him.
With the support of the princess, once his father dies, he will be the legitimate heir to the palace... He can only live a good life, but he has to go through all kinds of troubles, and I don’t know what he wants!"
Li Ziting said these words quickly, and the room immediately fell silent.
The late emperor left four sons. In addition to the current emperor, they are Prince He, Prince Ren and Prince Rui. Prince He is weak and incompetent, and Prince Ren is dissolute. Only Prince Rui's palace has always been the representative of the harmonious couple and the stability of the family among the royal family.
.
This is one of the reasons why Li Ziting has always disliked Li Zian.
After Li Ziting finished speaking, without waiting for Li Zixun's response, he mocked himself and said, "That's right. If I had such a good father, I would try my best to save him!"
