"One more bowl?"
"Eat a plum?"
"Bake braised carp tonight, your favorite..."
Mrs. Zhu looked at her son who was sweating profusely speechlessly, and felt a little sour in her heart. After all, there were too few men like him in the world.
Looking at her daughter with a sad look on her face, Mrs. Zhang stood with her son-in-law, feeling that her daughter was too squeamish... Don't push yourself too far!
Li Shan also had a sad face. Could it be that he had anorexia?
Cui Shiniang only had a bowl of millet porridge in the morning, and only two bowls of soup at noon and afternoon. She couldn't eat at night... Li Shan was very anxious.
At this time, Mo Xiang, the maid in the backyard, appeared at the door, "Alang, I sent a message from the outer courtyard."
"Whose?" Li Shan was a little impatient. Li Zhaode had been forcibly sent to Yuanzhou. Friends such as Wang Renbiao and Princess Pingyang would not post when they came to visit. Most of his other friends were in Renzhi Palace.
"The daughter of the Duke of Anyi County invites the concubine to offer incense together."
This title turned a corner in Li Shan's mind before he realized that it was actually Pei Shuying... Without even thinking about it, if Pei Shuying was looking for her mother, it must be Pei Shiju who was looking for him.
Most likely, he found out and rushed back to Chang'an. The old fox found something was wrong and asked him to find out something.
Cui Shiniang raised her head and glanced at Li Shan at this time. What trouble was going to happen to Pei Shiju again?
Zhu's face also changed slightly, and she forced a smile, "It just so happens that I'm going to Dongshan Temple or Dazongchi Temple to offer incense and pray for Eleven Niangs."
Li Shanzheng, who was unhappy, was about to refuse. After hearing what his mother said, he could only smile and echo a few words, "Then I will ask my mother-in-law and my son-in-law to accompany my mother for a trip tomorrow."
Mrs. Zhang was happy, thinking that tomorrow the mother and daughter would be able to talk directly... Don't be too squeamish, it may not be a good thing to tie Lang Jun to your side like this, anyway, Mrs. Zhou and Xiaoman The house has been taken away, can we still stop it?
What a wonderful mother-in-law in the Tang Dynasty!
The next morning, Li Shanqian persuaded Wanquan and watched Cui Shiniang drink a bowl of porridge, use two flower rolls, and drink a bowl of sweet tofu nao before he felt relieved and accompanied his mother Zhu out of the house. I was still mumbling that I hadn’t discovered for several months that my wife was actually a sweetheart.
Well, in fact, most people in this era are sweet people... After all, people's desire for sweetness is instinctive, and ancient people are not able to obtain sugar at will like modern people.
Mrs. Zhu was too lazy to actually go to offer incense to Pei Shuying. After entering Chang'an, she parted ways with her son and went to find Princess Pingyang. She especially liked Princess Pingyang's little daughter who was named the princess after she was born, but Li Shan was embarrassed. Entered Pei Mansion.
"Congratulations, there may be some good news next year." Pei Shiju sat on the main seat and extended his hand to invite Li Shan to sit down and have tea.
"It's better to make bricks than to make tiles." Li Shan liked his daughter more, but he felt that like Cui Xin, he might be heartbroken after a few years. After thinking about it, he changed his mind and said, "Forget it, let's play with Zhang."
Pei Shiju did not have the leisure and elegance to chat with Li Shan, and asked directly: "Is there anything wrong with Renzhi Palace?"
"Where did you mention this?" Li Shan sneered and said, "Don't you know, Mr. Pei, that Gu rushed back to the capital because Eleven Niang was pregnant."
Pei Shiju's white eyebrows trembled slightly, and he shook his head and said, "It's not your style to rush back to Beijing overnight."
"Hahaha." Li Shan whispered in a sinister tone: "Aren't you afraid that Mr. Pei will fight to the death?"
"Just kidding." Pei Shiju shook his head again, "If I were to die, I would just kill one person to settle the grudge."
Li Shan also knew that he couldn't be fooled. If Pei Shiju was about to die, he would be afraid of harming his descendants. It would be possible to take action against Li Shan himself, but Li Shan was still in Renzhi Palace, and Pei Shiju could not take action against Sun Moon Lake.
But Li Shan didn't expect that Pei Shiju actually said this...killing one person to settle the grudge, naturally referring to Li Dewu.
If Pei Shiju had killed Li Dewu two years ago, he would have definitely ended this grudge, but that may not be the case now. Both parties want to take the initiative in their own hands, and neither party has much trust in the other, which leads to the development of the situation. to date.
"Although I don't know the inside story, I'm afraid that escaping from Renzhi Palace has been planned for a long time." Pei Shiju continued: "But what makes me uneasy is, first of all, who is it?"
"Secondly, aren't you afraid that both the prince and the King of Qin will suffer losses?"
Through this passage, Li Shan easily discovered that Pei Shiju had no suspicion of King Qi at all. This was also reasonable. If all the princes were arranged in a row, King Qi should be the last one.
But Li Shan also admired Pei Shiju's keenness and ability to detect abnormalities from those clues. Pei Shiju may be unique in this area. If Li Shan was not a time traveler, he would be far behind.
At the same time, Li Shan was also wary of the second question raised by Pei Shiju, that both the prince and the king of Qin would suffer losses.
Li Shan had carefully taken stock. The worst situation was that Li Shimin was defeated, Li Jiancheng ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and he would either flee to Jiangnan or Lingzhou, or he might not even be able to escape.
But not long ago in Renzhi Palace, he discovered that the worst situation may not be that Li Shimin loses. Even if he is captured and killed, his wife will definitely survive, and his mother may also be sent to a temple to become a monk... If Pei Shiju keeps his promise .
The worst situation is that both Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng were defeated, and Li Yuanji failed to succeed. After the three legitimate sons lost their chance, Li Yuan is likely to choose the crown prince from among the princes who have not yet reached adulthood.
And among those princes, the oldest one is only eight years old... It seems that this is a good thing for Li Shan, and it will be even better if he chooses King Xu Li Yuanjia.
But in fact, Li Shimin is gone, and Li Yuan is older. Considering Li Shancai's age in his early twenties and his prestige in the military... Li Shan may end up very miserable.
Li Yuan would rather choose Li Daoxuan, Li Shentong, Li Daozong or even Li Xiaogong to assist his young master, but it is impossible to use Li Shan... Although Li Shan is the heir and is included in the clan, they are not a family after all.
After a long silence, Li Shan said softly: "Actually, I don't know about Renzhi Palace. Of course, I won't sit idly by."
Pei Shiju frowned and said, "Yang Wenqian?"
Li Shan smiled and didn't answer... There was no way to tell. To this day, Li Shan was not sure what role Yang Wenqian, the prince's confidant, played.
"Actually, the prince also has a chance." Li Shan said with good intentions: "If there is an incident in Renzhi Palace, the prince raises troops in Chang'an..."
"Then they will be defeated by the army stationed at Wugong and Xinfeng. Isn't that why Your Majesty left Princess Pingyang in Chang'an?"
Li Shan smiled and said, "Then let's use our own methods."
"Each one depends on his own means." Pei Shiju nodded. He was not sure what would happen, but he vaguely sensed that the key point should be Yang Wenqian.
