Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

"Fourth brother, what are you talking about? Your Prince Wei's Mansion occupies an entire block of land. Even I can't afford to repair it.

Moreover, the Prince of Wei’s palace has many industries under its control, and it is unknown how much income it generates each year.

If even the fourth brother is said to be poor and destitute, what about the others, especially the eldest brother's Prince's Mansion.

The annual income is not even one cent of your Wei Wangfu's."

When it comes to bickering, Li Shen has never been defeated by anyone. Anyway, today is a family dinner, so we won't talk about politics.

Just a family chatting together.

“Old Ten, don’t say that, just like how much money Fourth Brother’s Wei Wangfu makes.

Compared with your Ji Wang Mansion, it is really not worth mentioning, it is just enough to make a living.

You also know that Fourth Brother’s palace is so big, and there are many servants inside, and they all need money to support them.”

Li Tai quickly refuted.

"Xiao Shisan, why don't you speak?"

Li Shen looked at Li Fu.

"Brother is speaking, how dare the younger brother interrupt?"

Li Fu replied seriously.

"Thirteenth brother, there is no need to be like this. Today is a family dinner, so don't be restrained.

You were still young in the past, but now you have grown up, so it is natural for you to be closer to us."

Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Well, Gao Ming is right. You should be as close as possible. Even if you go to your fiefdom in the future, you must assist the court in managing the place well.

Share more of your brother the Crown Prince's worries."

After hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Shimin said with satisfaction.

"Follow Aye's teachings."

Several people quickly stood up to learn.

"By the way, isn't it time for Thirteen to get married?"

Li Tai asked.

"We're already engaged. We're going to find an auspicious date to get married next year."

Li Shimin nodded.

"Engaged?" Li Shen was surprised. Li Fu was only in his teens, much younger than he was at that time.

"Father, I wonder which family this woman is from?" Li Tai asked.

"She is the daughter of Yuwen Shiji, Duke of Ying, Yuwen Xiuduoluo." Li Shimin said.

"......" The others suddenly realized, but Li Shen was the only one with a mind full of question marks and speechless.

Is this a name a woman should have? The Duguren already shocked Li Shen.

This time another Yuwen Xiuduoluo appears, you might as well call yourself Yuwen Xiuluo.

"Tenth Elder, the day before yesterday, Princess Gaomi entered the palace to thank me for my care for Princess Wen'an.

He also said that you sent a hundred taels of gold.

Let me express my gratitude to you.”

Li Shimin looked at Li Shen again and said.

Several people were stunned. They knew who it was, but they didn't know what was going on.

Princess Wen'an was the daughter of their failed uncle Li Yuanji. She married Duke Ji Duan Yan and became the daughter-in-law of Princess Gaomi.

"Father, the 100 taels of gold were also given in your name. Father didn't know that when I went to visit Wen An that day.

There were only a few maids in the ward, and not a single member of the Duan family was seen.

The scene was quite desolate, which made Er feel very uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to send a hundred taels of gold in the name of Aye.

I also want the Duan family to pay more attention to it.

Although Aunt Gaomi is the eldest princess, Wen An is still her daughter-in-law after all, so she should go visit her."

Li Shen did not hide anything and told the truth.

"You did the right thing. We are all descendants of the Li family. I will help you if I can.

There is indeed something wrong with Gao Mi. She is a daughter-in-law and her status is a hindrance.

I heard that his life was nearly in danger this time.

Alas, back then....”

Having said this, Li Shimin suddenly stopped, and everyone knew what Li Shimin wanted to say.

As he got older, Li Shimin always liked to think about the past.

"Don't worry, Aye. I will help you."

Li Shen quickly agreed. Li Shen didn't care whether what Li Shimin did was right or not.

From Li Shen's perspective, what Li Shimin did back then was right. If Li Shimin had lost, there would be no brothers like Li Shen.

Li Chengqian also could not escape the fate of being killed.

Li Tai, Li Zhi and others watched the conversation between Old Father and Old Ten and felt envious, because they knew that Old Father and Old Ten were close.

In many things, they are more like father and son.

From his expression, you can tell that even the prince is unaware of this matter.

There was a vicious flash in Li Zhi's eyes, and he would always remember the insult he received today.

Although everyone avoids talking about it, there will definitely be a lot of rumors circulating in the market after tomorrow.

People would compare Li Shen with him, and would say look at how pompous Prince Ji is, and then look at how shabby Prince Jin is.

The ministers in the court would also say that Prince Ji was generous, but he still had to rely on His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, the Queen said that we can have our meal now."

At this time, a maid came to report.

"Okay, let's eat."

Li Shimin stood up and ate with his sons.

At the banquet, there was singing and dancing, geisha performances, and musicians playing various instruments. Li Shimin was in a good mood today and toasted with his sons.

However, Li Shen and his friends did not dare to watch the singing and dancing for too long.

Most of them are decent girls who were selected through talent shows.

Li Shen and the others didn't know who was their father's new favorite concubine. If they offended her, they might incur their father's resentment.

We brothers could only accompany Li Shimin to drink and chat.

Li Shen took the opportunity to tell others that fireworks would be set off in several neighborhoods today. Of course, such a big commotion had to be reported to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was delighted and agreed on the spot. He also asked Li Shen to bring a few into the palace, and he would bring a few with his concubines as well.

Of course Li Shen agreed readily.

The meal took more than an hour to finish. Li Shen was drunk and vomited several times.

Lu Dingniang was supported by several women and came to Daji Hall.

Concubine Wei first asked someone to prepare sobering soup, and then asked Li Shen to lie down and relax.

After drinking the sobering soup, Li Shen felt a little better.

Before leaving, Li Shen knelt in front of Concubine Wei.

"Mother, I have come of age today. I am grateful for your kindness in raising me. Please forgive me for being unfilial and not being able to always be by your side."

As he said this he knocked his head to the ground.

Lu Dingniang, Wu Meiniang and other women beside him also knelt down with Li Shen and kowtowed to Concubine Wei.

"My son, get up. My son, get up quickly." Concubine Wei burst into tears.

"My son has grown up, and mother is very pleased. Don't act rashly in the future, even though you are deeply favored by the emperor now.

But you must also be careful and cautious in your actions, just like your name, you must be careful in what you say and do, you must remember that. "

"Don't worry, mother. I will remember your teachings and will never embarrass you.

As long as I remain strong outside, I will be more content in the palace. Even Your Majesty cannot look down on me."

Li Shen nodded solemnly. One of the reasons why he was going through so much trouble outside was for his mother.

As far as he knew, in history, even after Empress Changsun died, his mother was not favored much.

On the contrary, Xu Hui was later favored.

In the end, Li Shimin died and Concubine Wei did not become the queen. It seemed that it was because of Li Zhi and Zhangsun Wuji.

Although Li Shen could not make his mother the queen, at least her status had to be the first after the queen. Whoever stood in his mother's way would be killed by Li Shen without mercy.

(I am ignorant, but the "Sutra" in "Yuwen Xiuduoluo" is related to Buddhism and has a special meaning.

I specifically looked it up, this name is amazing, the girl’s name is Xiuduoluo.)
