Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Chapter 292 Transforming the Harem

Wang Hongfu moved very quickly. After half an hour, dozens of craftsmen arrived in front of the palace. Li Shen went out in person and brought the people in with the queen's note.

Walking on the stone slabs of the palace, these craftsmen were very curious. After Li Shen found out, he had to stop at the entrance of the harem.

"Listen up, you all. When you enter this door, you are not allowed to look around. Keep your head down and follow the people in front of you. If you get separated, I will apologize to you and your head will fall to the ground.

You have all worked for me for several years. I don’t want anything to happen to you. After this trip, you can rest and go home to live a good life.

Once you walk through this door, I won’t be able to move around casually, and I won’t be able to protect you when the time comes. Do you hear me? "

Li Shen must explain it properly, otherwise if something goes wrong, Li Shen will also be punished. If the matter were serious and he was given a troubled harem, then Li Shen would have no choice but to accompany his fifth brother.

"I understand."

Li Shen was still worried, so he called for about twenty eunuchs from Daji Hall and formed a circle around them to prevent them from getting separated.

In fact, the craftsmen were also very scared. There was no shortage of rumors among the people about the palace. It was said that one look at the emperor's mother-in-law would kill her.

They didn't want to take the job this time, but it was impossible not to take it. They were also afraid of Li Shen. Fortunately, the price offered this time was high enough, and it was actually three months’ wages for them.

Li Shen first brought people to the Daji Hall. Concubine Wei had a side hall. Li Shen meant to make do with it for now and then renovate it in the spring next year.

"Remember, you are not allowed to leave this palace for more than three feet. Anyone who exceeds three feet will be killed without mercy. If you need anything, tell Shitou and he will prepare it for you." Li Shen explained again.

In fact, there is nothing missing, just bricks, soil and water. Li Shen had already had people pull these over from the Ministry of Industry.

As for whether it's cold outside and whether it's freezing or not? Stop making trouble, this is ancient times. Whoever washes clothes in Yeting doesn't use cold water.

Li Shen has traveled through time for so many years, and as a privileged class, he has a lot of experience. To the common people, if Li Shen does not bully them, then Li Shen is a good person.

For Li Shen, if he does not rebel, he can do whatever he wants.

Li Shen and the foreman briefly explained the layout, which was actually similar to that of his palace. Just make an earth dragon, set up a kang, build a chimney, and light the fire outside. (Don’t be ridiculous, when I was a child, people in the countryside would light fires outside to keep the house clean.)

After the explanation, Li Shen went back to Concubine Wei to chat with his wife. Concubine Wei also complained that Li Shen didn't bring Lu Dingniang.

"Shen'er, I heard Ding Niang said that you haven't consummated your marriage yet? Do you want to let the imperial doctor take a look?" When Concubine Wei heard the news, her first reaction was that her son was sick.

"..." Li Shen was speechless. Can't this mother hope that her son will be better?

"Mother, my son is not sick. Didn't I tell you before that giving birth too early would be very dangerous. I plan to wait a few years before talking about it."

"Nonsense, in a few years, the clan will look for you this time next year. You are a prince, not an ordinary clan member." Concubine Wei scolded.

Li Shen belongs to Li Shimin's branch and must shoulder the responsibility of spreading the branches and leaves.

"Concubine, what does my birth have to do with the clan? I want to see who dares to take care of me." Li Shen said unconvinced.

"Okay, stop talking. Ding Niang has already discussed it with me. Yuan Zheng asked Wu Mei to become a concubine first. After Yuan Zheng is over, she will find a time to make her a concubine."

Concubine Wei's words were unquestionable, but Li Shen did not refuse. After all, Wu Mei would be 20 years old after she passed Yuan Zheng.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Wei continued:

"Next year, let's take in all the maids you brought out and make them your maids. It's not in vain that they have served you for so long."

No, it was so much at once that Li Shen felt that he should be exhausted to death. He was really treating himself like a bull.

"Mother, please don't wait any longer. My son is still young."

"What are you waiting for? Lan Yu'er is almost 30 years old. She can no longer get married at this age. When I came to the palace with me, I asked her to take care of you. This will last more than ten years. I will be a mother-in-law for her. An explanation.”

Mom, tell me, you can't let your son act like a cow or a horse. But seeing that Concubine Wei was unhappy, Li Shen immediately nodded in agreement.

In fact, Chunxiang and Dongmei are both almost 20 years old. She had already reached the age of marriage, but Li Shen was used to being served by them, and knew that they would definitely follow him in the future.

Seeing Li Mengjiang covering his mouth and laughing, Li Shen said,

"Sister, how is Zhou Daowu doing at Yulinwei recently?"

Because of Princess Shang, Zhou Daowu was transferred to the Yulin Guard by Li Shimin as a casual official, responsible for Li Shimin's daily guard work, similar to Cheng Chusi.

When he mentioned Zhou Daowu Li Mengjiang, he immediately became shy and said in a low voice.

"We haven't seen each other since our last birthday party."

"Well, it's okay if we don't see each other, so as to avoid gossip. It doesn't matter whether Zhou Daowu is dead or alive. Sister, your reputation is much more valuable than him." Li Shen said truthfully.

"Nonsense, Zhou Daowu will be your sister's husband in the future, how can you talk like this." Before Li Mengjiang could refute, Concubine Wei started scolding her.

Li Shen was also afraid of being alone. If something happened, Li Shimin would still be able to spare the two of them. In this era, it was not popular to get on the bus first and pay for the ticket later.

After almost an hour, news came from over there that the work had been completed. This means that there is strength in numbers.

Li Shen checked briefly and then ordered people to start lighting the fire. He didn't like to do it in winter, so Li Shen asked people to burn it for a while.

After testing that there was no smoke in the house, Li Shen took the dozens of people to the nearby Li Zheng Hall.

The procedure was the same. First, the Queen was notified to ask some people to avoid them, and then the eunuchs took them to the designated side hall.

The project is the same as that of Dajidian, but the difference is that this time, Yulin Wei is watching these people. When these people knew that they were working for the Queen and that the Emperor would be able to sleep on the kang they made in the future,

Each and every one of them worked hard, fearing that they would lose their heads if they failed in any area.

In fact, Li Shen's kang is very simple, just like the one in his hometown in his previous life. It is paved with cement boards and a layer of mud.

This will facilitate repairs and dismantling next year.

Li Shen entered the Li Zheng Hall again and took Si Zi to play with Hengshan. Si Zi's body was getting better day by day because of Sun Simiao's conditioning.

Now I can run, jump, eat and sleep.

When the sun set to the west, a report came from the other side saying that the construction had been completed, and Li Shen went over to inspect it in person.

He ordered people to start lighting the fire. After some inspection, there was no smoke leakage, and then he announced that the work was over.

Before leaving, Li Shen told Queen Changsun that she couldn't sleep tonight, but she could sleep tomorrow night. It should be dry after a day of burning tomorrow, but you can stay in that house, because it will keep warm in the fire house.

Afterwards, Li Shen left the palace with the craftsmen.

After walking out of the palace, both Li Shen and the craftsmen breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Shen looked back at the deep palace compound and shook his head. It was too depressing and uncomfortable to live in.

"Okay, you all go back, go to Wang Hongfu tomorrow to collect your wages, and go home and live a good life."

After Li Shen finished speaking, he got on the carriage and went back home.

(Here are a few points. First, the Chinese New Year in the Tang Dynasty was called Yuan Zheng. Previously, it was written as Zheng Yuan because there were too many things to change. This is what I saw while browsing the information today.

Second, there were no side concubines in the Tang Dynasty. There were only side concubines, also called side wives. Their status was similar to that of the fourth concubine, and she was the second-in-command of the palace. As an aside, a prince in the Tang Dynasty could marry twelve wives. The other official names are Teng and the nicknames are concubines.

The third is to predict that some people say that the workmanship is fast and it can be completed in more than two hours. I have to say this, my dad can only sit on the bed for an hour by himself. With dozens of people doing three tasks, it should take more than two hours.

The fourth prediction of Wu Mei’s age is that Wu Zetian was born in 624 and Li Shen was born in 628. After Yuanzheng, it was the 18th year of Zhenguan and Li Shen was 16 years old, 4+16\u003d20.

The fifth wife has many marriages, but that doesn’t mean she has a harem, and she doesn’t have many roles. In fact, it was difficult to achieve monogamy during this period, and the royal family would not allow it. get out of class is over. )
