Li Xi transmigrated. From the apocalypse, he arrived in the Tang Dynasty and became the most famous Little Prince in Chang’an City.
The Emperor pampered “him,” and the Crown Prince “loved him.” For a time, they became a model of the Tang Dynasty’s imperial family, a paragon of brotherly affection, a tool for the Emperor to gain public favor, and the protagonist of many songs by poets and scholars.
However, becoming a superstar of the Tang Dynasty caused a group of high-ranking officials to lose their illusions about him. This was because they had witnessed the inner voice beneath His Highness’s elegant and refined exterior, which was practically a massive scene of social death:
[It’s fine if Shaolang, that mascot, attends court, but why do I have to attend as well? I want to drink milk tea to wake my brain up.]
Crown Prince Li Shi: You call me your dear “Dalang” to my face, but in your heart, I’m just a mascot??
[Even Guo Ziyi, a man in his seventies, still has to work. My Tang Dynasty truly treats people like beasts of burden, and beasts of burden like livestock. Shabu-shabu mutton is quite delicious, though.]
The pillar of the Tang Dynasty, Guo Ziyi: …This old man is called “hale and hearty”!!
[How can stealing a brother’s vegetables be called stealing? This is called testing for poison on behalf of my Imperial Brother.]
His Majesty, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yu: So it was you who ate the cucumbers grown in the Greenhouse, and you even…
In a fit of imperial rage, the person who wouldn’t stop complaining was enfeoffed and sent away to the Western Regions.
The officials thought to themselves: The court is finally quiet.
Then they thought: The Little Prince should have learned his lesson by now.
Just when the officials thought the Little Prince would be crying for his parents and begging for mercy, a “ding-dong” sounded in their minds—
[Wohoho, yay-yay-yay! Baked Buns, Big Plate Chicken, and Lamb Skewers, here I come!]
