Following the eunuch's loud chant, I saw a group of people walking over from a distance. There were three people in the front, and in the middle was Li Shimin, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. Next to them are the graceful Empress Changsun and the Crown Prince Li Chengqian, who is dressed in light yellow uniforms.
Followed by King Li Tai of Wei and King Li Zhi of Jin, Li Zhi was 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 also bowed. Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty was not as popular as the Braided 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, so 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 take a rest, so you don't have to 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, except for the prince and princess. The concubines also wanted to show their faces in front of the emperor. If Li Shimin was in a good mood, they might spend the night in someone's palace.
There were 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, the guard commander Li An, and of course the king of Wei Li Tai, the king of Jin Li Zhi, and the princess of Jinyang Li Mingda.
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 their 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.
Li Shen was not interested in this and walked to a pavilion away from the crowd and sat down. Ask the eunuch nearby to bring some snacks. On such occasions, except for the emperor, empress, concubines and princes, they can bring their own maids and eunuchs.
The servants of various princes and princesses are waiting outside. The servants here are all from the palace and have been arranged with the queen. There are the most rules in the palaces of all dynasties, for the safety of the emperor.
Soon the eunuch came over with a plate of snacks. It was spring in May. There is no fruit to eat. Even if there is, it is not his share.
Even though his mother, Concubine Wei, was the first of the four concubines, he had felt over the past year that his mother was not favored either. Not only that, in terms of treatment, Li Shen and his sister Li Mengjiang were also relatively poor among the princes and princesses who were also born as concubines to Li Shimin.
Li Mengjiang still does not have the title of princess, but he was sent to a fiefdom when he was 8 years old. Li Shen sometimes thinks that if his mother wasn't 1.9 meters tall, she might not be able to have him.
There were many controversies about Concubine Wei on the Internet in her previous life, especially her height. Some people say that the archaeologists made a mistake in writing, some say that it is a false rumor, and some deny Li Shimin's love at first sight for Wei Guifei, saying that it is impossible.
However, Concubine Wei's tomb has been opened. It is reported that Concubine Wei died at the age of 69. However, archaeologists found that Concubine Wei's teeth were complete and her height was close to 1.9 meters. At 69 years old, she was close to 1.9 meters. You can imagine how tall he was when he was young.
Li Shen believed the archaeological experts when he saw Concubine Wei for the first time. His mother is probably really 1.9 meters tall. Moreover, he believed that Li Shimin was not in love at first sight, but simply attracted by lust and had the desire to conquer.
You must know that Li Shimin is barely 1.8 meters tall, which is not the recorded height of 8 feet at all. Documentary records of later generations are sometimes boastful, let alone epitaphs.
So when seeing Concubine Wei, who is 1.9 meters tall, every man wants to conquer her. Concubine Wei's height was also unique among the harem beauties of all dynasties, which made Li Shimin very proud.
Li Shen picked up a piece of snack and took a bite. I said in my mind that it tastes really bad. The dim sum of this era is not only beautiful in appearance. Take a bite of the dregs. If you don't drink water, you will choke to death.
Li Shen looked at the snacks in his hand and wondered if he should make some himself. As a man who has lived for more than 30 years, there are a few men who can't cook.
Let’s talk about the short videos that I have been watching for a few years. There are many videos that teach how to cook delicious food. Although I have never done it, I basically remember the steps. If it doesn't work once, try it ten times a hundred times, and you will always succeed.
"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Li Mengjiang's voice interrupted Li Shen's random thoughts. I saw Li Mengjiang coming to the pavilion, followed by a young girl.
"I've met Sixth Sister." Li Shen saw the girl and stood up quickly to salute. The girl's name is Li Anran, and she is titled Princess Yuzhang. She was born to a concubine who died in childbirth. She was raised by Empress Changsun, who treated her like her own daughter.
Because he was adopted by Queen Changsun, Li Shimin also had very different feelings for Princess Yuzhang and loved her very much. I heard that I was going to marry Tang Shanshi, the legitimate son of the Minister of Hubu.
"Tenth brother, why are you here in a daze? Why don't you go play?" Princess Yuzhang asked softly
"Back to Sixth Sister, I'm thinking about the homework left by your husband." Li Shen replied seriously
Princess Yuzhang laughed when she saw Li Shen's serious answer. After all, Li Shen is only seven years old.
"Tenth brother, I heard that you study very seriously in the Imperial College. You never go out to play with the children of the royal family. This is not good. Although your studies are important, you still have to relax and have a good relationship with these second-generation children. To you It will also be beneficial to leave the feudal territory in the future. These second-generation children will all join the court as officials in the future." Princess Yuzhang reminded
Li Shen looked at Princess Yuzhang Li Anran in surprise. It's not because Princess Yuzhang understands this. Children of this age are already precocious, and since Princess Yuzhang grew up under Empress Changsun, she must have been immersed in her understanding. What surprised Li Shen was why Li Anran said these things to him.
The children in the palace are not as close as imagined. Although they are both Li Shimin's children, they are also far and near. Even siblings from the same mother may not be that close.
Travel through a year. Li Shen knew this. Moreover, all children born to concubines in the palace must be called Empress Changsun's mother or mother. Call your biological mother aunt.
The mother concubine she calls in the TV series is definitely not from the Tang Dynasty. When Li Shen called Wei Guifei his mother concubine, he did so in his own palace and would never dare to go outside. At first, Concubine Wei did not agree, fearing that it would cause trouble. But for Li Shen, a person with modern education, to call him mother and aunt, it would be really hard to say.
Li Anran knew what was going on when Li Shen looked at him in surprise. He quickly explained: "I have a good relationship with Meng Jiang. Meng Jiang told me that in addition to studying in the Imperial College, you also read when you return to the palace every day. He is very worried that you will become a bookworm who can only study hard."
oh. Li Shen suddenly realized that he just said that his relationship with Princess Yuzhang was not that good.
"Someone has fallen into the water, please help!"
"Hurry, Concubine Yan De has fallen into the water. Rescue her quickly."
At this moment, many people suddenly called for help in the distance, and Li Shen could still vaguely hear his mother's voice. Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a figure flopping in the Nanhai Pool more than 30 meters away from the shore. Obviously, the person who fell into the water did not know how to swim.
Not far away, a cruise ship was turning around. Even the ship of modern society cannot stop when it is in the water. What's more, the boats that were rocked by people during this period were not fast, but they were also difficult to control. The main eunuchs were not professional in rocking boats.
Li Shen saw that the man who fell into the water had stopped struggling and began to sink. Several eunuchs who knew how to swim had already entered the water and started fishing for the people. It took about two or three minutes to finally rescue the people on the boat.
After the boat docked, everyone took down the man who fell into the water. Li Shimin's ship has already docked. The eunuch had already informed the imperial doctor that he was here. An old doctor who looked to be in his fifties or sixties came forward to check the situation.
First, let someone turn the person who fell into the water back into the water, then check the pulse, then check the breathing, open the eyelids and take a look.
Li Shen and the others came over after hearing the call for help. I was standing behind the crowd, looking through the gap. Only then did he see clearly that the person who fell into the water was Concubine Yan De, Li Zhen's biological mother. Li Shimin and Empress Changsun also came over, and everyone made way.
"Mr. Xu, how are you?" Li Shimin stepped forward and asked
"Back to Your Majesty, Concubine Yan De was in the water for a long time. It was too late to rescue her, and the water entered her lungs. Wei Chen checked her pulse just now, and Concubine Yan had no pulse, no breath, and her lips were purple. Wei Chen thought... I thought. ..." Doctor Xu didn't know what to say when he said this.
The Tang Dynasty also had first aid methods for drowning, such as the barb method and the ash burial method, but the prerequisite was that there were signs of life. Breathing is weak or there is a weak pulse. At this time, Concubine Yan De is neither breathing nor pulse.
You said you should die, but you were afraid that the emperor would blame you. You must know that the emperor drowned people while playing. If this matter spreads, it will not be a good reputation. I don’t know how many ministers have remonstrated and criticized, especially Wei Zheng. Li Shimin’s head hurts when he thinks of him.
"Is there really no other way?" Li Shimin knew what Doctor Xu meant as soon as he heard this. But he still asked without giving up. After all, playing Drowned Man does have a bad reputation, especially for Li Shimin who attaches great importance to reputation because of the Xuanwu Sect incident.
"Your Majesty, the humble minister is incompetent. I'm afraid Concubine Yan De~~~~~~." Dr. Xu replied carefully.
"Auntie~~~~" At this moment, Li Zhen couldn't help but threw herself next to Concubine Yan De and cried. Li Zhen is only 8 years old this year. How could she bear it when the imperial doctor said that her biological mother was dead? After all, he is still a child. Everyone present looked sad when they saw this, whether it was true or not.
The opportunity has come! This is Li Shen's inner thought.
"Aye, I think we can still save someone." At this moment, a sudden voice interrupted everyone's thoughts. Everyone looked towards the sound. It was Li Shen who spoke.
