Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

"This..." The two maids were at a loss. Rewards from others were not something they could just accept casually.

They were maidservants who were married to Li Mengjiang. Now, with Li Mengjiang's consent, they were adopted as concubines by Zhou Daowu.

However, she still has to serve Li Mengjiang as a personal maid.

"Just accept the reward from King Ji." Li Mengjiang said softly.

"Thank you, His Highness King Ji, for the reward." The two women saluted.

A person can get dozens of guan, which is much higher than their salary.

Li Shen gave a few instructions to the housekeeper, and then led a group of people to follow Li Mengjiang to the palace.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Ji and Princess Linchuan have arrived." Wang De came in to report.

"Well, let them all come in." Li Shimin nodded.

Li Shimin might be happy this year, so he held a banquet at Yajingju and called all the concubines. In fact, there were only a dozen of them.

After Li Shen and Li Mengjiang arrived, they knelt down to worship Li Shimin and Queen Changsun. It was similar to New Year greetings, so it was more formal.

Xixi and Yangyang kneeled down with their father in a decent manner, making Li Shimin laugh.

Li Shen came to Li Shimin with the three girls in his arms.

"I'm here to give you a hug, Weng. When you grow up, I'll come to you for anything I want, Weng. I'll have whatever you want."

With that said, Li Shen handed over the three girls.

Li Shimin glared at Li Shen when he heard Li Shen's words, then took him and gave him a hug.

This is a supreme honor. Although he is also the grandson of the emperor, he has no status and is born of a child. He is not qualified to be embraced by the emperor.

Only Li Shen's concubine would be treated like this.

"Wang De!" Li Shimin shouted, and Wang De handed over a box, which contained a gold anklet with a bell.

"Come here, Ah Weng will bring it to you and keep you safe and sound."

"Aye, Aye. There are two more." Li Shen immediately reminded.

"Humph, are you reminding me?" Li Shimin snorted coldly, and then Wang De took out two more boxes.

Li Shen immediately stepped forward to take it.

"Quick, thank you Aweng."

Li Shen's operation made several other concubines envious. They thought that Prince Ji and His Majesty were more like father and son.

Unrestrained, there is no boundary between your majesty and his ministers. When you see your majesty, you are very casual and unrestrained.

"Mother, I apologized to my mother for impeaching my mother's relatives a few days ago. I really couldn't hold it back. They embezzled more than 500,000 yuan from Aye, which is too much.

If they are short of money, I can find a business for them and earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. "

Li Shen came to Empress Changsun and bowed deeply, apologizing.

"Forget it, they brought it upon themselves and deserved it. They were so courageous that they even dared to embezzle His Majesty's money.

And the number is so huge. His majesty just dismissed him from office, which is already a great favor.

It's not your fault, Shen'er, it's all their fault. "Queen Changsun sighed. She is a sensible queen.

You can take care of your relatives in normal times, but you also have to argue, as this matter will have an impact on her.

Li Shimin told her that if Li Shen hadn't suppressed the rumors outside, the people who talked about her might have spread the news throughout the country.

The queen's relatives are corrupt and pervert the law, which is good to say and bad to say.

"Thank you for your understanding, mother. It's all my son's fault."

Li Shen knew that Empress Changsun would not blame him for this matter, but he should also express his attitude.

This is how to behave.

After a while, Li Tai and Li Zhi also arrived, but they only brought the princess. They were stunned when they saw Li Shen's large army.

"Old Shi, you are so rich and you bring so many people to the palace to take advantage." Li Tai joked.

"What are you talking about, Fourth Brother? I, Prince Ji, can't eat meat even once a year. I'm so poor..."

"Okay, okay, okay, don't cry out to me. The lights in Prince Ji's Mansion were brightly lit last night, as bright as day.

I can see the candlelight of Jinrenfang in the palace, and what you burned yesterday was agarwood, with sandalwood added.

Half of Chang'an City can smell it. You spent tens of thousands of dollars last night, and you're still being called poor? "

Li Shen's lie was ruthlessly interrupted by Li Tai. Candles were considered high-end products among the nobility, not to mention agarwood and sandalwood.

"Old Shi, you are so extravagant. With a palace of more than 500 acres, why are you lighting so many lanterns?

Even the palace doesn't want you to be so extravagant. "Li Shimin also said jealously after hearing Li Tai's words.

"Aye, fourth brother, doesn't this look festive? The reason for burning agarwood is because there is no room in the warehouse.

Wang Hongfu doesn’t know where he got so much agarwood, and when will it be used up to make agarwood?

So yesterday I had no choice but to burn it and make a bonfire. "Li Shen said somewhat innocently.

"You...you...do you really want to catch up with Emperor Sui Yang? You are such a traitor." Li Shen's Versailles not only shut up Li Tai,

It even made Li Shimin's nose crooked.

"Your Majesty, the prince has arrived." At this moment, a eunuch reported.

When Li Chengqian arrived, he felt that something was wrong with the situation. Looking at his father and younger brother staring at each other, he knew that the two men were starting to do it again.

"My son has met Aye, mother."

"I've met eldest brother and sister-in-law."

"Qingque, what's going on?" Li Chengqian came to sit next to Li Tai and asked in a low voice.

"Lao Shi wants to be Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty."

"What?"

Li Chengqian was confused, which one was this?

"Oh, Lao Shi's luxury is the same as that of Emperor Sui Yang." Li Tai added.

"That's it." Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, Aye said that my younger brother surpassed Emperor Sui Yang. Come and judge. Do you think my younger brother is very low-key?" Li Shen really couldn't convince his father, so he started to look for helpers.

"I don't know, I didn't see it, don't ask me." Li Chengqian decisively drew a clear line with his younger brother.

Seeing that his helper turned against him, Li Shen decisively surrendered and sat down with a sigh of relief.

He turned around and saw Li Zhi who was silent.

"Hey~~ Isn't this Ninth Brother? I heard that you have been grounded? What mistake did Ninth Brother make? Do you want me to beg for mercy?"

Li Shen innocently blinked his big watery eyes and looked at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi's face suddenly darkened. He hit people without slapping them in the face, and criticized people without making short comments. Li Shen was attacking the wound.

"Hmph, no need. Please settle your own matters first. I heard that you were also grounded for two months, and you still have the nerve to plead with me."

Don’t blame anyone else, Li Zhi countered.

"Uh..." Li Shen had forgotten that he was also grounded. Why was he grounded in the first place?

"By the way, Ninth Brother, I heard that the Qingding Chamber of Commerce will be unable to hold on any longer. The investment this time should be quite large. After all, branches have been opened in every state and county in the Tang Dynasty. There must be thousands of them.

I also heard that the Aspirational Chamber of Commerce also had Brother Ninth’s share. I don’t know how much Brother Ninth lost this time.

Do you want me to lend you some, and I'll make a 10% profit? "
