Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

"Snapped!"

"Bullshit!"

When the last round of the last game ended, Lu Dingniang pushed down her own cards.

"Give me money, give me money, my dear."

Lu Dingniang was sitting opposite Li Shen. She stood up and stretched her hand in front of Li Shen.

Li Shen opened the cash box with trembling hands, and found it was empty. The ten thousand chips he took out had all been lost.

"Madam, there is no money left. If you don't believe me, just look."

With a bitter face, he raised his head, and afraid that Lu Dingniang would not believe him, he turned the money box upside down.

Twenty thousand strings of cash, just lost like that.

"I...I want to pay you back right away if I owe you. Let's continue. I don't believe I can't win it back."

Li Shen pushed his cards aside and wanted to continue playing.

"My dear, this is the last round."

Lu Dingniang said.

"The last round? It's so fast, why don't we play a few more rounds."

Li Shen was really unwilling to accept this.

In the end, this ten thousand taels of gold were also evil.

He didn't win many times, and they were all small wins, while others' wins were big ones.

Is my card playing skills so bad?

Thinking of this, Li Shen shook his head. It was all because his hands were too smelly, and had nothing to do with his card skills.

"Your Majesty, we have agreed, we cannot go back on our word.

Besides, we are about to have dinner, so if we want to play, we should wait until we are done with dinner."

Wu Meiniang said this as she packed up the chips. All of this was money.

After taking these chips back to the palace, he could exchange them for money from Lu Dingniang and use them as his own piggy bank.

And it will not delay the payment of your monthly salary.

"Hey? Play for a while longer. It's still early for dinner. I'm not hungry yet. Play for a while longer. Play for a while longer."

Li Shen grabbed Wu Meiniang's hand and spoke quickly.

"Your Majesty, a man cannot stand without his word. It's time to say when to go. Let's play after dinner."

Lu Dingniang also stood up and began to pack up the chips.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao also started to pack up. The three people's cash boxes were full.

The three of them started counting in front of Li Shen.

Li Shen watched eagerly and repeated over and over again, "Just play for a while."

None of the three women paid any attention to Li Shen and focused on counting their chips.

The final result was that Wu Meiniang won the most, more than 8,000 strings of cash.

Lu Dingniang and Su Xiaoxiao were about the same, with about five or six thousand strings of cash.

"Ma'am, play for a while longer."

Li Shen pitifully pulled Lu Dingniang and begged.

"My dear, dinner is about to start. Besides, you have no more bargaining chips."

Lu Dingniang looked at poor Li Shen.

"Lady, lend me some, and we can play again."

Li Shen said shamelessly. He was really unwilling to accept it.

"My dear, there is no reason to borrow money to play cards. This money is my own private money.

I have to save it for buying things later."

Lu Dingniang refused without hesitation.

Li Shen turned his head and looked at Wu Meiniang, with pleading eyes.

"Your Majesty, my money is my own private money and cannot be lent out. I also need to keep it for Xixi's dowry and for Yangyang's land."

What Wu Meiniang said was very pitiful.

After hearing this, Li Shen looked at Su Xiaoxiao again. Su Xiaoxiao shook her head vigorously:

"Your Majesty, I am the poorest among them."

Li Shen never thought that he would end up like this today, asking three women for money and being rejected.

"My dear, I can understand that the two of them saved some private money, but why do you want to save some private money?"

"All the children in the palace are mine. Which one of them doesn't need me to buy a dowry and set up a family business?"

Lu Dingniang said confidently.

All the children in the palace are nominally her children. Whether they are getting married or getting married, she, as the legitimate mother, cannot leave empty-handed.

This is indeed the truth, but the main thing is...

"My lady, why don't you find a better and more reasonable excuse? You are the Princess of Ji, and all the wealth of the palace is in your hands.

Why do you still need to save some private money?

Isn’t the money in those two vaults enough for you to spend?

You just don’t want to lend me money.”

Li Shen looked at Lu Dingniang with a bitter face, as if to say, "Are you taking me for a fool?"

Wu Meiniang, Su Xiaoxiao and others on the side all laughed. Indeed, Lu Dingniang was the only one who didn't need to save any private money.

The entire wealth of the Ji Wang Mansion was managed by Lu Dingniang, and everything in the Ji Wang Mansion would be inherited by her eldest son Li Wei in the future.

The remaining children can just take money from the government treasury and do not need any private money at all.

Even if she went back to her parents' home to get gifts, she only had to tell Li Shen and he would take them directly from the treasury.

It is completely unnecessary for Lu Dingniang to save some private money.

Lu Dingniang also realized that her excuse was somewhat untenable.

"My Lord, how could I not lend you the money? You and I are husband and wife, so what's the difference between you and me?

These chips are all yours."

As she spoke, Lu Dingniang handed the money box to Li Shen, who took it with a smile on his face.

"Haha, I'm rich now. Come, let's continue playing... Where are the people?"

When Li Shen turned around, Wu Meiniang and Su Xiaoxiao were gone.

Li Shen didn't even know when he ran away.

He turned around and looked at Lu Dingniang, and found that he, the little princess, was no longer the simple girl she used to be.

"Your Highness, Princess, we are now ready to eat."

Lan Yuer came over to report at this time.

"I'm not eating anymore. I have no appetite." Li Shen said angrily.

"What's going on here?"

Lan Yuer asked in a low voice who had offended their prince again.

"Haha, it's okay, the prince just lost money." Lu Dingniang laughed.

"Your Highness, if you lose money, you lose it, but you can't skip meals. The Imperial Concubine said that Your Highness should not indulge in pleasures and should..."

"Eat, eat. I'm suddenly a little hungry. I've never been obsessed with pleasure."

Before Lan Yuer could finish her words, Li Shen suddenly stood up, took Lu Dingniang's hand, and walked towards the dining hall.

Lu Dingniang covered her mouth and laughed secretly. If there was anyone in this palace who could control the prince, it would have to be Dayuer.

"Report~~~~~Your Majesty, Shopkeeper Wang has an urgent report."

As soon as Li Shen entered the dining room, Xue Rengui hurried in with a guard.

"What happened again?"

Li Shen frowned.

"Your Highness, this is an urgent letter from Shopkeeper Wang to Your Highness.

Squad Leader Sun ordered me to travel day and night to deliver it to the prince as soon as possible."

As he said this, he took out a letter from his pocket.

Shi Tou went over and took it, checked it, and then handed it to Li Shen.

Li Shen took a look at the seal, which was intact and had Wang Hongfu's special seal and secret mark on it.

It was indeed a letter from Wang Hongfu.

After tearing open the letter and unfolding it, Li Shen's face suddenly turned gloomy.

He read only the beginning, folded the letter, and turned away with a smile on his face.

"My dear, you can take them to eat first. I have something to do here. Xixi, you can't just eat snacks without meals. If you don't obey me, I won't give you anything to eat in the future. Do you understand?"

Lu Dingniang nodded. She knew that Prince Ji had important matters to attend to, and she knew Li Shen's temper, so she didn't say anything nonsense about waiting for Li Shen to come back for dinner.

All she had to do was to let Li Shen do his work with peace of mind.

(The family members haven't appeared for a long time, give them some plot)
