Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Li Xin's cheap father, Li Xuandao, used to be a famous general in the world. Even after he was named King of Chu, he still held the military post of General Tiance, and he was regarded as a figure in the military.

The guards of the Chu Palace, including the butler Wang Gui, were actually under Li Xuandao's command before. Later, when the world was peaceful, they withdrew from the army one after another, settled down in Chu Wangfu, and lived a peaceful life.

In normal times, Li Xin can always feel the love and care for him from these uncles and veterans. He knew that it was the veterans' love for Li Xuandao. They regard Li Xin as their own child who likes to mess around, so they turn a blind eye to some of Li Xin's dandy behaviors in the past. Protection of weaknesses is their greatest trait.

But this time, he clearly felt the respect from the veterans. It has nothing to do with Li Xuandao, it is completely because of him Li Xin's respect, which represents their recognition of Li Xin.

Li Xin quickly helped Zhang Ben and Chen Hu up, and said with a wry smile, "What are you doing, don't make the atmosphere so embarrassing, isn't it just a debridement and suture."

Chen Youlan blinked, staring at Li Xin's handsome face for a long time.

He once again exceeded Chen Youlan's cognition. So, is he even so good at medicine?

Xiaoling's performance was even more exaggerated, her eyes were full of crystal debris, like countless shining little stars. She felt that Li Xin was so handsome when he focused on stitching up the wounded man just now.

"I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Chu to have such attainments in medicine. It's really impressive." Chen Youlan said.

Li Xin said helplessly: "Don't talk nonsense, I only know a little messy superficiality. Is it true medical skills? Don't mention it. If anyone really seeks medical treatment from me, they should first sign the life and death certificate. Put to death I don't care about burying it."

Seeing his candid and funny words, Chen Youlan couldn't help but smile, a delicate and charming face full of vitality bloomed because of this, and even the sun seemed to be a little brighter because of her.

Li Xin couldn't help being stunned, Zhang Ben and Chen Hu looked on and wanted to laugh.

Chen Youlan also noticed Li Xin's momentary loss of focus, and then realized that she was a little carried away, forgot the woman's reserve, and quickly restrained her smile. However, she immediately became a little proud.

In fact, the reason why she left Mrs. Chen alone was because Li Xin ignored her again and again? She's well-groomed and not here to go unnoticed.

Li Xin came back to his senses and realized that he had lost his composure just now. He quickly coughed twice, looked up at the sky pretendingly, and said, "It's almost noon. I heard that the vegetarian food in Longquan Temple tastes very good. Go and try it. Zhang Ben Chen Hu, let's go."

"My lord, it's still too early. Dinner should not be served in the dining hall." Chen Hu cupped his hands solemnly and said.

What do you mean? You must have done it on purpose, right?

Li Xin never expected that he would be so ruthlessly demolished by his subordinates, it took a lot of effort to finally restrain the urge to strangle him to death on the spot.

Chen Youlan laughed unceremoniously again. Even Xiaoling covered her mouth and narrowed her eyes, apparently snickering.

Li Xin could only curl his lips helplessly, accepting the kind ridicule frankly.

After the little incident, the group wandered around Longquan Temple casually, killing the boring time.

The monks on the lectern were still telling old-fashioned Buddhist scriptures, but after hearing such heart-wrenching and tortuous love stories like "Legend of the White Snake", Chen Youlan was no longer interested in Buddhist scriptures.

She turned to Li Xin and asked, "I'm curious, the king of Chu is obviously talented, but why does everyone say you are an ignorant dude?"

"Because they are right." Li Xin said with a smile, "My little trick is not a great talent, but just an ordinary playboy."

"There are so many dudes in Chang'an, but the king of Chu is the only one who can write "Qixi". Isn't this called a great talent?" Chen Youlan asked a random example.

Li Xin shook his head and said, "Poetry is just for self-entertainment, how can it be considered a great talent?"

Li Xin had said similar things since the first time we met. Chen Youlan originally thought it was Li Xin's random nonsense, but now it seems that he really thinks so?

"Poems and articles have been the most important thing since ancient times, why is Dudu Chu King so despised?" Chen Youlan couldn't help asking.

Li Xin smiled. People in the Tang Dynasty were still too heavily influenced by Confucianism, and they really paid too much attention to literary talent.

He looked at Chen Youlan and said, "No matter how well written the poem is, no matter how beautiful it is, in the situation just now, can it save that young man's leg?"

Chen Youlan didn't expect Li Xin to ask such a rhetorical question, and she didn't know how to answer for a while. Of course, the answer to this question is very clear, but subconsciously she still feels that the answer seems not so correct, so she can't say it out.

"Of course poetry has its value, but this value has great limitations." Li Xin continued on his own, as if he was explaining his point of view to Chen Youlan, or talking to himself.

He said: "When we are fighting, poetry cannot help us win the war. When we are farming, it cannot help farmers produce an extra ration of food. In the eyes of a person who is about to starve to death, nothing is more precious than a morsel of rice. What is the use of poetry?"

Chen Youlan didn't speak.

"A farmer who can produce an extra stone of grain per mu is more useful than a poet who writes moving poems." Li Xin finally added with a smile.

Chen Youlan also saw countless people displaced during the drought this year, and the victims with yellow and emaciated faces were everywhere. Therefore, she did not refute Li Xin's words.

Soon it was noon, the dining hall should be ready for dinner, and Chen Youlan wanted to go back to meet Mrs. Chen. After thinking about it, Li Xin still felt a little afraid to see his future mother-in-law, so he finally decided to leave Longquan Temple first, and he didn't even eat the vegetarian meal. Anyway, he is a carnivore, so he really doesn't have much interest in vegetarian food, and the purpose of meeting Chen Youlan at Longquan Temple today has been achieved.

Looking at the back of Li Xin leaving with the guards, Chen Youlan was a little lost in thought. Li Xin's "deviant" words were still in her mind, and the worst thing was, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that what Li Xin said made sense.

At this time, Xiaoling suddenly said in a low voice: "I always feel that His Highness King Chu is not as bad as those people say, he is a good person."

Yes, a person who cherishes life so much will not be a bad person.

Chen Youlan thought so in her heart, but couldn't help but joked: "Could it be that Xiaoling likes His Highness the King of Chu?"

Xiaoling's eyes widened like a frightened bunny, and she blushed and said, "No, no, no."
