Li Shimin got off the carriage, and naturally the other concubines also got off the carriage at the door.
Normally, as Li Shimin's little wife, they would naturally have to park the carriage inside.
But there are too many carriages today, and there isn’t that much room inside.
Li Shimin led everyone to the door. Li Shen bowed like a doorman and said:
"My son has seen his mother. Mother, please come into the garden."
"I've seen my concubine. Concubine, please come into the garden."
"I have seen Concubine Yan, Concubine Yin, and Concubine Yang. Please come into the garden."
These are the people that Li Shen needs to salute. The fourth concubine is of the first grade, the same level as the prince, and she is also the maid, so she needs to salute.
As for the ninth concubine in the back, it doesn't matter.
"I have met His Highness Prince Ji." The two sides saluted each other again.
This was the case in ancient times. There were too many red tapes. Why do people in Japan still bow when they see them?
It’s just some superficial knowledge learned from the Tang Dynasty.
After the etiquette was completed, Li Shen and Lu Dingniang accompanied Li Shimin and Queen Changsun to the small building.
This shows that in the feudal society, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun are the masters in the harem.
In Prince Ji's Mansion, Li Shen and Lu Dingniang are the masters.
At this time, Li Shen's guards began to switch defenses with the Yulin guards.
Li Shen never makes mistakes in these details. This is a fatal mistake.
Arriving at the platform on the second floor, Li Shimin sat on it and looked at the water of the Lihe River in the distance.
"Your place is really nice. I see that your yard is different from the last time I came here.
The appearance of the small building has also changed. It seems that our Prince Ji will really enjoy it. "Li Shimin said sourly.
When he builds a house, a hundred people will give him advice. If his son wants to change the style, he will change the style.
"What did Aye say? The main reason is that it's humid here and many things are broken." Li Shen quickly explained,
Li Shimin turned his head, pointed to the side and said:
"That manor is the one you built for Meng Jiang, right?"
"Go back to Aye, that's right. My sister is a princess and she doesn't even have a separate courtyard. Telling her about it would be a disgrace to my royal family.
So I had no choice but to save money and build one for my sister.
All for the sake of royal dignity. "Li Shen answered cautiously,
I am always afraid that if I say something wrong, I will lose money again.
Last time was just an example. When Li Shimin and Li Chengqian came for a visit, he built an elegant residence.
Li Shimin heard the overtone of Li Shen's words, saying that he was partial and had not prepared anything for Li Mengjiang.
Li Shimin had already planned the money in his hand, and planned to leave it to the subsequent emperor for emergency use.
After so many years, he understood that fighting a war requires money.
“Aye, there are so many people, I wonder what Aye is going to eat?
It's time to get ready. Li Shen asked
"Well... let's have barbecue this season. You can make arrangements."
"yes."
Li Shen agreed to call Shitou and ask him to ride a fast horse to his breeding farm.
Immediately kill a few sheep and cows, and go back to the palace to get some spices.
Bring back some vegetables.
Forty or fifty people were having a barbecue, and Li Shen was planning to hold a bonfire party.
Even if they don't go back later, the two manors owned by Li Shen and Li Mengjiang are enough for these people to live in.
After Li Shen finished giving instructions, he started making tea for Li Shimin and others. Lu Dingniang took Wu Meiniang and others downstairs to entertain Li Shen's little mother.
There are too many people, and the platform on the second floor is not that big.
"Aye, please have some tea." Li Shen handed over a cup of tea with both hands.
"Old Shi, what's going on in the newspaper?" Li Shimin asked after taking the tea cup.
"Newspaper? What newspaper?" Li Shen looked confused.
"There are rumors in Fengzhou City that Beihai is going to have a common ruler of the world." Li Shimin glanced at Li Shen.
"Is there still this matter? I don't know about it. I came here the next day after coming out of the palace. I don't know about it."
Li Shen's eyes widened and he tried his best to appear innocent.
If you don't know Li Shen's character, you will definitely be deceived by him.
But there are two people sitting here who know Li Shen well.
One is Li Shimin and the other is Concubine Wei.
When Concubine Wei saw her son's expression, she knew that this matter must have something to do with him.
Ever since he was young, whenever his son told a lie, he would act extremely calm and try his best to look innocent with his eyes wide open.
Concubine Wei was sitting far away and touched her forehead with her hand. Her son was really a headache.
"Old Shi, I'm not old yet, let's be honest." Li Shimin was unmoved.
"Erlang, while you're talking to Shen'er, I'll go down and look around." Empress Changsun stood up and said to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin nodded.
The other four concubines also stood up and followed Queen Changsun downstairs.
"Say it."
"Oh~~~ Aye is really smart. He knew it was done by him at a glance." Li Shen flattered him first.
"Wang Xuance came to report a few days ago, saying that there was news from the Fengzhou branch."
Li Shen told Li Shimin the news Wang Xuance told him.
"You mean, this matter was reported by Liu Lan, the governor of Fengzhou himself?" Li Shimin frowned.
"To be precise, Aye should have been initiated by Liu Lan's son, Liu Zhao. He first met the man named Xu Hua." Li Shen added.
"Then why don't you just go to the palace and tell me about this, and why you go to so much trouble?
Did you know that I specially sent Baiqi to Fengzhou? "Li Shimin blamed.
"Well, that's because I'm afraid of getting beaten again. I just told Aye not to listen to one thing or another.
We can't falsely accuse Zhongliang, but we got the news at night.
There is no evidence, so...so..." Li Shen hesitated.
"Hmph! So you let me know in such a troublesome way, and then you put the responsibility on Wang Xuance, right?" Li Shimin said with a cold face.
"Yes...yes." Li Shen felt guilty.
"You bastard, what a big deal this is, you actually delayed it for a few days just because you were afraid of getting beaten.
There is no need to use any evidence for the information you have received. You are the prince of the clan. Since you have verified it, it is irrefutable evidence.
If you have any concerns, report them to me and I will send someone to investigate.
You delayed such a big thing for several days. I want to beat you now. "Li Shimin was furious.
His son actually informed him of such a big matter in a roundabout way.
If Liu Lan rebelled just in the past few days, how much damage would be caused.
Seeing that Li Shimin was angry, Li Shen quickly admitted his mistake humbly.
But in his heart, he sneered. His father said these words now because he still trusted him, not because he was a prince.
If you don't believe him, what might happen?
"Aye, I was wrong. I didn't think that much. I will remember Aye's teachings and will never do it again in the future."
Li Shen's attitude towards admitting his mistakes is still very good.
"Well, you have to remember that you are my son and the prince of the Tang Dynasty.
Anyone who wants to rebel is an enemy of my Li family.
As a royal child, rebellion does not require evidence. As long as there is suspicion, it will be investigated immediately.
You have to remember that it is better to kill the wrong person than let him go. "
