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

In the early morning of the next day, Li Shen was awakened by Dongmei early. After serving him, he dressed and washed and then went to the side hall to have dinner. As soon as Li Shen entered the side hall, he heard voices.

When he looked up, he saw a young girl talking and laughing with Concubine Wei. When she heard Li Shen's footsteps, she turned around and looked over. The girl has beautiful eyebrows, a fairy bun with double rings, a neon skirt instead of a crescent skirt, and light makeup. Her eyebrows are somewhat similar to Concubine Wei.

"I've seen my mother and concubine, I've seen my sister." Li Shen stepped forward and saluted. This girl is his sister Li Mengjiang

"Shen'er is here. Come and have a meal. Meng Jiang will also go to Nanhai Pool with us soon." Concubine Wei greeted Li Shen to eat.

"Sister, are you going too?" Li Shen said a little surprised.

Li Mengjiang is rarely willing to participate in such formal events. It would be better to play with the little sisters from the Xungui family. Although Li Mengjiang's character is not that out-of-the-box. But after all, he was only eleven or twelve years old. There's nothing wrong with being lively. In front of outsiders, he is well-educated and sensible.

"Yes, anyway, Xiu Mu, mother-in-law said it was better to go. After all, it was organized by the queen. If you don't go, you are afraid that others will gossip." Li Mengjiang nodded.

"Yes, Shen'er, your sister still has to go. There are many talkative people in this palace, and there are even more people who are gossips. There are many people who want to go further. There are even more people who want my position. There are so many, so it’s better to be cautious," Concubine Wei said immediately.

"Oh!" Li Shen said "Oh" to express his understanding. Although Li Shen has not been exposed to any conspiracy this year. But I also watched later novels and TV series. I know that the palace is comparable to officialdom. All kinds of intrigues and intrigues.

In terms of bloodshed, it is more terrifying than the court. Concubine Wei is the first of the four concubines. Except for Queen Changsun. It is Concubine Wei who is the biggest. So there are too many people who want to get rid of his mother. If Concubine Wei hadn't been born in Jingzhao and had a strong background, how could she have been able to hold the second position in the harem for so many years.

After eating, Concubine Wei and the others tidied up and saw that it was almost time. The three of them took several palace maids and eunuchs out to the South China Sea.

"Tai Chi Palace Map" records: "There are three sea pools in Tai Chi Palace. The East Sea Pool is to the east of Xuanwu Gate, near Ningyun Pavilion; the North Sea Pool is to the west of Xuanwu Gate; and the Nanhai Pool is to the south, near Xianchi Hall. The water is drawn from the Ling River, branches from Zhangbagou, passes through the north of Ducheng, bends and flows northeast, enters the capital, passes through the east street of Da'anfang, bends again to the east, passes through the southwest corner of Anlefang, and bends to the north. , passing through Anle, Changming, Feng'an, Xuanyi, Huaizhen, Chongde, Xinghua, Tongyi, and Taiping Jiufang to the west, then north to the east of Buzhengfang, right to the southeast of Jinwuwei, bending to the southeast, and flows into The Imperial City passes to the north of Taishe, then east to the west of Hanguang Gate, then bends to the north, passes to the east of Shangshi Bureau, then north to the east of General Supervisor and Chamberlain, and then north to the Guangyun Gate of the palace city. It is noted as South China Sea."

When the three of them arrived at Nanhai Pool, they saw that many concubines, princes and princesses had arrived. In ancient times, there were many rules. Just like this kind of ordinary game, the order of appearance is also particular. Ordinary concubines arrive early to show respect. Concubine Wei belongs to the second class. So can't come early. certainly. The first-class emperor and queen must be the last to come.

"Meng Jiang, Shen'er, you go and play. I'll go sit in Wangyunting Pavilion." Concubine Wei said and walked towards Wangyunting Pavilion. Of course, you can't take Li Shen with you on this occasion. Usually the concubines are together, and the princes and princesses are together.

"Let's go, let's go over there too. You know, we have to greet people when we see them. Don't let people say we are rude." Li Mengjiang said to Li Shen

"I know, sister." Li Shen replied. He is not a child, so how could he not understand this?

"I've met the eighth sister, I've met the ninth sister, I've met the seventh brother,"

"I've seen the tenth sister, I've seen the sixth sister, I've seen it, I've seen it..." Following Li Mengjiang, they walked by the Nanhai Pool. There were so many brothers and sisters along the way. Many of them have already left the feudal clan and are married, or even more. He really admired Li Shimin for this.

"Isn't this Old Ten? Why doesn't he read a book?" At this time, a strange voice came from behind Li Shen.

Li Shen turned around and saw a young man wearing narrow-sleeved riding clothes with a jade pendant around his waist.

"I've met Sixth Brother," Li Shen saluted. This person is the sixth prince Li Min.

Concubine Yang’s son. Grandson of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty. In history, the imperial official was beaten because he rode a horse and trampled the banker. Li Shimin said he was worse than a beast. Later, he was implicated in the rebellion case and was dispatched. Finally died unjustly in the penal colony.

History says he had a violent temper. But Li Shen hasn't discovered it yet. I just want to have fun hunting, and I'm a bit dandy. But looking at the children of the noble families in Chang'an City, which one is not a playboy?

"Old Shi, I thought you wouldn't come. You usually don't go when we ask you to go out for fun. Why are you free today?" Li Min said angrily. Because they also asked Li Shen to go out hunting or something. But Li Shen first said that he was still young, and then he said that he wanted to complete his studies, but he was rejected every time.

"Sixth Brother, this is a lake tour organized by the Queen and the Father, as ordered by the Emperor. Do you dare to come?" Li Shen also made a small retort.

"I think Lao Shi is right." At this time, someone next to him interrupted.

Li Shen and Li Min turned their heads. It turned out to be the eighth prince Li Zhen. It is recorded that Li Zhen, the king of Yue, was good at riding and shooting, loved literature and history, and was talented. Li Shen also read from novels and TV that Li Zhen was a talented person.

Li Zhen came over and saluted Li Min and said, "I've met Sixth Brother."

Then he said, "Brother Six, I heard recently that you went hunting again. Did you get into trouble?"

"Eighth brother, don't talk nonsense. Brother, what trouble can I cause?" Li Min said quickly

"But I heard that the censor is impeaching you again. He said that you allowed slaves to commit crimes and trample on the fields. Sixth brother, just pay some money for trampling on the fields. Why bother. When the time comes, my father will reprimand you again." Li Zhendao .

"Hmph. That untouchable asked me to pay all the money. He also said that if he didn't pay, he would report it to the official. You said I was not allowed to show him some color. It was against the dignity of the royal family." Li Min said angrily.

Li Shen suddenly asked from the side: "He dares to blackmail you in front of you, Brother Six?"

"That's not true. It was said by the servant who went to negotiate. Who am I? How could I negotiate such a thing by myself?" Li Min said arrogantly.

Before Li Shen could speak. Li Zhen, who was standing next to him, said, "Brother Six, I advise you to go back and check on that servant of yours. There must be something wrong."

"What's the problem?" Li Min didn't understand what Li Zhen said.

"I must be lying to you, doing bad things in your name," Li Zhen explained.

"Impossible, he has been with me for many years and is loyal to me. How could he lie to me." Li Min didn't believe what Li Zhen said.

Li Shen interjected: "Sixth Brother, think about it, what is your identity? Prince. How dare a commoner to blackmail the Sixth Prince of the Tang Dynasty? It's time for his life. Either he was instigated by someone to blackmail you intentionally, or he was Your servants are lying to you. I think it’s the second type.”

Li Min was silent. He is a dandy. A bit grumpy. But he's not stupid. He didn't think anything of it at the time because he believed that his subordinates would not lie to him. But now after listening to Li Shen and Li Zhen's analysis, I feel that what they said seems to be true and reasonable. He also began to feel something was wrong.

Li Shen was right, he was the prince. How dare he, a pariah, blackmail himself. Wasn't he afraid that he would kill him then? Killing a pariah is really not a big crime for a prince. Just pay some money and be done with it. If you talk more and get reprimanded, your reputation will be worse.

"Okay, then I'll go back and check. Hmm, if this bitch dares to lie to me, let's see how I deal with him." Li Min decided to go back and check. Don't be a shield for others.

"Your Majesty has arrived~~~~~" At this moment, a eunuch sang loudly. This is a rule to remind everyone that the emperor is coming. By the Nanhai Pool, all the concubines, princes and princesses hurried over to greet them.

I saw a group of people approaching from a distance. There were three people in front, and in the middle was Li Shimin, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. Next to them were the graceful Empress Changsun and the Crown Prince Li Chengqian, who was wearing light yellow uniforms. Behind them are King Li Tai of Wei and King Li Zhi of Jin. Li Zhi is also holding a little girl. Li Shen guessed that it should be Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang. As far as he knew, Li Mingda was gentle, smart, kind, and had a gentle temperament. However, he died early later. Li Shen had never heard of the specific illness from which he died. All I know is that it seems to be asthma.

"See the saint, the empress, and the prince." Everyone hurried forward to salute. Li Shen stood behind and bowed. Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty was not as popular as the Braid Dynasty in kneeling down. In the Tang Dynasty, kneeling and worshiping were performed only on a few occasions.

"Everyone is free of charge. There are no outsiders today. There is no need to be so formal. This time we visited the lake because the queen saw that I was tired and wanted me to have a rest. So don't be restrained. We will have dinner at Wangyunting Pavilion at noon. Let's treat it as a family banquet. "After saying that, he and Queen Changsun walked towards Nanhai Pool. All the concubines followed behind. Only the prince and princess did not follow him, and the concubines also wanted to show their faces in front of the emperor, just in case Li Shimin was in a good mood. Maybe I'll spend the night in someone's palace.

There are several cruise ships on the Nanhai Pool. Li Shimin and Queen Changsun boarded a cruise ship, followed by Li Shimin's personal eunuch Wang De. Guard commander Li An. Of course, there are also King Li Tai of Wei, King Li Zhi of Jin, and Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang. Li An was responsible for rocking the boat, and the cruise ship slowly sailed towards the center of the Nanhai Pool.

Prince Li Chengqian took Crown Princess Su and his servants to another cruise ship. Li Chengqian just got married at the beginning of the year. He married the Su family and was a lady of the family, with good conduct. Li Shimin and Empress Changsun liked it very much. On the wedding day, Li Shimin held a banquet with all the ministers, and of course Li Shen also went.

Some of the remaining concubines also took a cruise in groups, while others were watching the scenery on the shore. For example, Li Shen's mother, Yang Shufei, Yinfei, and Yandefei, together with their maids and eunuchs, took a cruise ship and sailed to the middle of the lake.
