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

The sun sets earlier in winter than in summer.

A large number of troops were marching on the road. This was the scene of Li Shimin and his men returning to Chang'an City after dinner.

Li Shimin's motorcade was in the front, with the guard of honor leading the way, followed by the crown prince and several princes, and at the end were the princes and nobles.

Li Shen was lying in the car in a daze. There was a small heater in the car. Lu Dingniang and Wu Meiniang took good care of Li Shen.

Li Shen hasn't drunk too much in a long time.

He is a cautious person. After drinking, he not only has sex without restraint, but also makes mistakes.

So Li Shen always knows when to stop.

However, sometimes he was forced to drink too much, such as this time. Li Shimin's alcohol tolerance was so good that he could easily knock out both Li Shen.

Li Shimin seemed to be taking revenge by clinking glasses with Li Shen frequently. Even if Li Shen tried to be sneaky, he would still get dizzy after drinking.

"Ugh~~~"

Li Shen suddenly felt like vomiting, so he immediately sat up and leaned against the car window. The cold wind blew, making Li Shen shiver.

It also made Li Shen sober up a lot.

"Where is this going?"

Li Shen looked outside and asked.

"Your Highness, we are on our way back to Chang'an City. We will probably be back in two quarters of an hour."

Stone rode his horse to the carriage.

"Oh, back to Chang'an City."

Li Shen said "oh" and his eyes were a little dull. He looked towards the distant horizon.

The setting sun burned half the sky red, and also baked the clouds on the horizon red. The sky in ancient times was very clear.

"Very beautiful." Li Shen couldn't help but murmur.

"Your Highness, it's cold outside. You'd better close the car window and come in, so as not to catch a cold."

Lu Dingniang advised.

"Alas, the sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is almost dusk."

Li Shen sighed and lay back in the carriage. Lu Dingniang quickly closed the carriage window.

Wu Meiniang was very interested in the two lines of poetry that Li Shen had just recited.

She sat on the bed, looking at the sunset in the distance, and repeated:

"The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's almost dusk."

"My dear young man, you are indeed very talented. You can come up with such a profound idea with just two sentences."

Lu Dingniang also couldn't help but sigh. When she first knew that she was going to marry Prince Ji, she was very worried.

Because Li Shen's reputation was not very good at that time, and he often hung out with the playboys in Chang'an City.

Some people also said that Prince Ji had a brain disease and hysteria, and she was very worried about her married life.

But who would have thought that the Prince Ji as rumored by the outside world was a person with a childlike personality.

Moreover, he is a man of great talent, and no one can match him in terms of making money.

"Sister, how about we record all the poems the prince said and compile them into a collection?"

Wu Meiniang suggested.

Lu Dingniang thought about it and nodded.

"Well... okay, then leave it to you, Mei Niang, and don't ask about my husband.

He usually seldom takes care of things, and it is only thanks to your help, Mei Niang, that I have been able to manage this huge palace over the years.

Without you, I'm afraid the Ji Wang Mansion would be in a mess."

"What are you saying, sister? This is what I should do. It is my honor to share your worries.

This is the opportunity my sister gave me. Even without me, with your intelligence, you can still manage the Prince Ji's Mansion in an orderly manner."

Wu Meiniang quickly declined the offer, saying that she had indeed helped Lu Dingniang a lot, but if she said that Lu Dingniang would not be able to manage without her, then she was exaggerating.

There were dozens of managers and more than a dozen accountants in Prince Ji's mansion. Princess Ji would not dare to cause trouble no matter what happened.

Besides, there is King Ji here, and he will take charge of the management when the time comes.

I am just adding icing on the cake, not providing timely help.

Wu Meiniang was a very smart woman. She knew her position. Now she was second only to the emperor in Prince Ji's mansion.

The side wife is also known as the concubine, the second in command of Prince Ji's Mansion, and she is very satisfied with the status quo.

"Mei Niang, you've worked hard this year. I wanted to give you more monthly allowance, but I thought you didn't have much to spend in Prince Ji's mansion.

So not long ago I asked the steward to buy a large house in Yonglefang and hired ten maids.

You can let your mother move over there in the next few days. Yonglefang is only one street away from Qinrenfang, so it will be more convenient for you to go back and visit her.

I will give you the title deed and the key when I return."

Lu Dingniang held Wu Meiniang's hand and said softly that this was also Lu Dingniang's reward and gift to Wu Meiniang for her many years of hard work.

"Sister~~~~I~~~" Wu Meiniang was grateful and moved.

This was considered a step forward with Princess Ji, and he gained her approval.

A big house is nothing to the Prince Ji's Mansion, even after the land price in Chang'an City has increased.

A big house costs only one or two thousand strings of cash.

But for Wu Meiniang, it was not a small amount of money. She had to save up dozens of strings of cash every month for several years.

Don't think that a few dozen strings of cash a month is little. As Teng's concubine, a few dozen strings of cash a month is already the highest in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Even the concubine Teng in the Prince's Mansion only received a few strings of cash a month.

The main reason is that Concubine Teng in Prince Ji’s mansion has no use for her monthly allowance and has no place to spend it.

Li Shending's rules are that everyone in Prince Ji's mansion must eat and drink together, regardless of status, so that it is lively.

The Rouge and Powder Boutique regularly delivers a batch of top-quality products, which can never be used up.

There were so many silks and brocades that they could not be stored. Clothes were worn for a few months and then thrown away, and new ones were made. This was Li Shending's rule.

Li Shen's concubines all put their monthly payments in the palace's treasury, otherwise there would be no place to put them.

This makes many concubines of princes and nobles envious.

Even so, Lu Dingniang was so thoughtful that she bought a mansion for Wu Meiniang's mother and found ten maids.

"Thank you, sister, for your reward. Mei Niang will work harder in the future to help you."

All Wu Meiniang can do now is to show her loyalty.

"Oh, sister, there is no need to do this. We are all family. From now on, you can serve my husband together with me.

It doesn’t have to be so hard.”

Lu Dingniang patted Wu Meiniang's hand and said.

“Well, my lady is right, you two just need to serve me well in the future.

I feel a little cold, come and warm my bed."

Li Shen narrowed his eyes and stretched out his hands to hold Lu Dingniang and Wu Meiniang in his arms, one on each side.

The two women smiled at each other very gently. Although Prince Ji was lustful, he had one good thing.

Prince Ji would not go out to look for women, nor would he keep hundreds of concubines and indulge in revelry every night like other princes.

Otherwise, with the financial resources of Prince Ji's Mansion, it would be enough to win over all the beauties in the world.

"Your Majesty, we will be at the palace soon."

Lu Dingniang suddenly screamed and stopped Li Shen's shameless behavior under the quilt.

The two of them grabbed Li Shen's hands at the same time and begged tenderly.

"Oh, okay, but my hands are a little cold, please warm them up for me."

Li Shen sighed and could only warm his hands.

(Some people say that the appearance rate of female characters is too low, so today we will add a scene for the first and second female characters.)
