Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

If we were to say who is the happiest person in the Prince Ji’s Mansion, it would of course be the mistress, Princess Lu Dingniang.

Now the Ji Wang Mansion is in debt, and she, as the princess, is worried every day about managing the family business.

Being close to Yuanzheng requires money everywhere. Now that the situation is so tense, I finally relieved the urgent need.

Lu Dingniang personally led a dozen accountants to register at the door of the warehouse.

Because there are so many different things in there, including rare treasures, gold jewelry, precious medicinal materials, copper coins, etc.

Lu Dingniang could only roughly record how many boxes and what contents there were, and the specific items would need to be counted later.

Li Shen's carriage also returned to Prince Ji's mansion at this time, and a stone was left at the city gate to represent Prince Ji watching.

If it weren't for the special nature of this batch of treasures, Li Shen would not have gotten up so early.

Although it was warm in the carriage, it was not very warm.

Fortunately, Chunxiang and Dongmei kept Li Shen warm, so the temperature was maintained at around 36 degrees.

"Madam, take the four of them to my study first. I'm going to take a shower and change clothes."

Li Shen got off the carriage, said something to Lu Dingniang, and returned to the backyard.

He wants to take a hot bath to avoid catching a cold.

Originally, there was no need for Lu Dingniang to show up, but one reason was that Shitou was not there, and another was that there were guests, so Lu Dingniang needed to come out and say hello.

The Tang Dynasty was different from later conservative dynasties in that it was not so strict towards women.

"Meet my aunt."

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Princess."

When several people saw Lu Dingniang, they hurriedly saluted, especially Ashina Liang, who called her very affectionately.

Originally, he wanted to call her princess, but Ashina was too cunning and calling her aunt made it seem like his status was different.

"Haha, no need to formalize, just follow me to the prince's study and wait."

Lu Dingniang is graceful and elegant. Although she is young and has a childish face, her demeanor is unmatched by others.

Over the years, Lu Dingniang has gradually adapted to her identity as Princess Ji.

She is no longer the girl who had never seen the world.

Instead, she is the mistress who is able to manage tens of millions of wealth in the Ji Wang Mansion.

In the past, when she went out to communicate with the noble ladies in Chang'an City, everyone would flatter her, which made her quite embarrassed.

But gradually she got used to it.

I am the emperor's daughter-in-law, the princess consort of his majesty's favorite son, Prince Ji.

Princess Ji has countless properties and shows off her wealth in every move she makes.

"Come here, serve some tea."

Lu Dingniang brought a few people to Li Shen's study, sat down, and ordered the servants to serve tea.

"Thank you, Princess."

They were still somewhat restrained in front of Princess Ji.

The most powerful wind in the world is the pillow wind.

"Manager Wang, this journey has been difficult, thank you for your hard work."

Lu Dingniang first praised Wang Hongfu.

Wang Hongfu quickly stood up and saluted:

"Thank you, Princess. This is what I should do."

"Are you Dalang from sister Dingrang's family?" Lu Dingniang looked at Ashina Liang again.

It was the first time she met Ashina Liang. They were about the same age.

"That's right, aunt." Ashina Liang also stood up and saluted.

"Well, take a seat. I also want to thank Dalang for his help this time. I heard from Shopkeeper Wang that you helped a lot this time."

"You don't have to be polite, aunt. We are all family. Uncle's affairs are the affairs of our Ashina tribe."

Ashina Liang waved his hands quickly.

"Well, just remember this in your heart, and don't say it again in the future, otherwise it will not be good for the prince and your Ashina tribe."

Lu Dingniang nodded. Although there was still a smile on her face, her tone was like an elder reminding a younger generation.

"Yes, I will follow my aunt's instructions."

"Sister is indeed a good parent. Dalang is well-educated and well-mannered. He will be a pillar of the court in the future."

Lu Dingniang smiled and approved.

After that, Lu Dingniang exchanged a few polite words with Ashina Liang, and then Li Shen walked in from outside.

"Meet uncle."

"See His Highness Prince Ji."

"Well, no need to be so polite." Li Shen waved his hand and got on the couch, which was warmer here.

The maid also brought hot water and made tea for several people.

"This is this year's new tribute tea, called Tieguanyin. There aren't many of them. You can try some."

Li Shen pointed at the teacup and spoke to several people.

"It is indeed a good tea, with a rich fragrance and sweet taste."

Ashina took a sip and immediately praised it.

Others were also full of praise.

"Well, Xiaojian, bring two cans back for me later and tell me that this tea can beautify my skin."

Xiaojian is the nickname Li Shen gave to Ashina Liang.

Ashina's surname was too long, and his given name was only one character. Li Shen felt it was inconvenient to call him by that name, so he suddenly had a bit of evil fun.

Ashina Liang was given a name called Xiaojian, but of course it was only Li Shen himself who called him that.

Ashina Liang didn't know which two words they were.

"Thank you, uncle." Ashina Li bowed happily.

"This time, I would like to thank you, Ashina tribe. Don't worry, Wang Hongfu promised you Ashina tribe, and I will immediately arrange for someone to do it."

Li Shen took a sip of tea and said to Ashina Liang.

"Uncle, what are you talking about? It is our honor to be able to help you. How can we ask for your things?"

Ashina Liang quickly declined.

"Alright, this king is clear about rewards and punishments, and I will repay favors. You don't need to say more."

Li Shen shook his head and made a decision directly. He was too lazy to be half-hearted.

Of course he knew that everything was for profit.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have already arranged everything."

Wang Hongfu interrupted and said that he had already made up his mind that this time he would pay for what he had promised to the Ashina tribe.

He could still afford to pay hundreds of thousands of strings of cash, and he did this to make up for his mistakes.

"Your Majesty, the wine and food are ready, you can eat now."

Lan Yuer reported outside the door.

"Let's go. I will welcome you."

Li Shen got down from the bed, waved to everyone, and walked out first.

Arriving at the dining hall, the host and guests took their seats.

"I don't drink alcohol in the morning, I use milk instead of alcohol, let me offer you a glass, especially Xiaojian, this time it's all thanks to you."

Li Shen raised a glass of milk and said a few polite words at the beginning.

All four of them stood up and raised their glasses to greet him.

They all said they were not worthy of the honor.

Several people drank it all in one gulp.

"Come on, Xiaojian, eat more. This is called a bun. The beef filling is delicious."

"Thank you, uncle."

Ashina Liang hurriedly thanked him. The person in front of him was none other than the evil ghost King Ji, who was known among the upper class celebrities in Chang'an City.

Not to mention ordinary nobles, even the prime minister and princes in the court had to keep their distance from Prince Ji.

His father, Duke Xue, was even less taken seriously by Prince Ji.

If it weren't for his mother, Princess Dingxiang, Prince Ji wouldn't even look at his father.

In front of such people, Ashina Liang felt extremely restrained.

"Stay a few more days this time. I'll ask Fang Yiai and the others to take you out for a good time in a couple of days."

While eating, Li Shen said to Ashina Liang.

This is also because he has helped Prince Ji's Mansion a lot.

"You need to stay a few more days. I haven't seen Ana and Ata for a long time."

Ashina nodded.

(I saw some comments doubting whether the association I joined was legitimate. Let me tell you, we have to sing the national anthem before the meeting.)
