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

"So that's how it is. What punishment did Zhi Nu receive?"

Li Chengqian only knew the general idea but not the details, and he did not dare to ask Li Shimin.

"Brother Nine was beaten, then grounded for a month and fined a year's salary."

Replied.

"What about you, Tenth Brother?" Li Chengqian asked casually, but he regretted it right after asking.

As expected, Li Shen's face changed instantly, and he was furious.

“Humph, this is what made me angry just now.

I was punished with one month's house arrest and three years' salary deduction. Why did he only have one year and I only had three years?

My Ji Wangfu is not going to survive. "

The more Li Shen thought about it, the angrier he became. Even Li Chengqian could feel Li Shen's resentment.

"Haha, Tenth Brother, you used a knife yesterday and almost killed Zhinu, and that was in front of His Majesty.

Not punishing you for the crime of offending the Holy Throne is already a mercy.

It's just a fine of two years' salary, which is considered a lenient sentence, so don't worry about it."

Li Chengqian hurried forward to comfort her.

"What do you mean by lenient punishment, big brother? It was Ninth Brother who started it first. Look, he injured me.

I didn't hit him, I was the one who suffered the loss this time, why should I be fined more?"

Li Shen didn't listen to Li Chengqian's consolation and argued cunningly.

He just thought that he had suffered a loss. As for what Li Chengqian said about offending the emperor and killing his brothers, that was not a big deal.

Li Chengqian was also helpless. Li Shen held a grudge and people outside said that he would never let go of a grudge.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, the princess said that it's time to eat." A servant's report came from outside the study.

"Brother, let's eat first."

Li Shen stood up, Li Chengqian nodded and followed Li Shen to the dining hall.

Lu Dingniang and the Crown Princess are waiting here.

"Hey? By the way, Tenth Brother, why don't you see my nephew and niece?"

Li Chengqian sat down in the main seat, suddenly looked around and asked.

"I don't know this little brother either. He might be playing in some yard. The two older ones are leading the two younger ones."

Li Shen sat down and replied.

"Tenth brother, I know your dining etiquette, why don't you all come over and eat together.

Big brother is not here as the prince, so I cannot break the rules here."

Li Chengqian knew that everyone ate together at Li Shen's house, whether it was the princess, concubine Teng, or the children.

Because Li Shen thinks it's more lively when there are more people eating.

But today the prince is here, so of course we have to follow the etiquette.

"Don't worry, big brother. They don't know the rules. Don't be disrespectful in front of you."

Li Shen shook his head.

"Haha, Old Ten, if we talk about the one who doesn't know the rules the most, it should be you. Most of your Tengs are from the palace, and they all know more etiquette than you."

Li Chengqian laughed when he heard what Li Shen said. How dare you say that others don’t know etiquette and rules.

Li Shen immediately looked miserable after hearing this:

"Uh...Brother, you don't have to be so direct. Since you ask me to do so, then I will listen to you.

Shitou should send people to each courtyard to call them over.

Oh, go and get those four little ones. If Xixi doesn’t come, tell her she’s not allowed to leave the house anymore.”

After a while, the first to arrive were Li Shen's four children. Before they arrived, all kinds of strange noises were heard one after another.

"Wow~~"

"Ouch~~"

The four little ones were forcibly carried over. The two little ones cried loudly, and Xixi screamed "ah! ah! "

Li Shen felt very familiar with this scene. The two younger ones just followed their older sister’s style.

On the other hand, Li Shen's eldest son has always been very stable, while the twins, the boy and the girl, have quite different personalities.

"Xixi Yangyang, come quickly and meet your uncle." Li Shen called out.

When Xixi saw Li Shen, she immediately stopped struggling. She stopped screaming, and the two little ones stopped crying too.

The two little guys came to Li Chengqian and bowed respectfully;

"Meet my great uncle, meet my great aunt."

"Well, no courtesy."

"Thank you, uncle and aunt." The two of them expressed their gratitude.

"Tenth brother, you really have a good way of educating your children. Look at how polite and graceful they are. You must train them well in the future."

Li Chengqian praised him.

"Thank you for your praise, uncle." Yangyang bowed politely.

But Xixi was different. She actually stretched out her little hand towards Li Chengqian and stared at him with her big watery eyes. There was light in her eyes.

This stunned Li Chengqian and Crown Princess Su, who didn't understand what it meant.

Both of them looked at Li Shen with inquiring eyes.

Li Shen was speechless when he saw Xixi's eyes. He patted her forehead and scolded her:

"Li Yuji! What are you doing? How can you be so rude? I told you not to ask outsiders for things.

Besides, your uncle is very poor, how can he give you a gift? Come here quickly."

Li Shen waved at Xiang Xixi with a stern tone and a serious expression.

But Xixi was not afraid, but said in a crisp voice:

"My uncle is not an outsider. Every time the uncles come, they give Xixi gifts. Grandfather also gives gifts every time."

Some of the uncles Xixi mentioned were the second generation of royal relatives and dandy young men. Every time they came to Prince Ji's mansion, they would bring some gifts for the children.

There were also several princes who had visited Prince Ji’s Mansion, the third prince Li Ke, the sixth prince Li Yin, the fourth prince Li Tai, and the ninth prince Li Zhi.

No matter how good the relationship is, you still have to save face, just like the gold-wrapped jade longevity locks and jade pendants that Li Shen gave.

All the children of Li Tai and Li Zhi were given the same amount.

Xixi was young, so she remembered that whenever her uncle came, she would definitely give him a gift.

As for Xixi's grandfather Li Shimin, he was coaxed and deceived. As long as Li Shimin was happy, he would be given anything he asked for.

Xixi cheated many of the precious official kiln porcelains and gold and silver accessories back.

But Li Shen was very angry about his daughter's habit.

He reached out and pulled his daughter over, slapped her little hand, and scolded her harshly:

"That's because your uncle is rich, and all the money belongs to me, so of course any money I can get back is good.

But your great uncle is different. He is very poor. Do we need to know when he becomes emperor?

Besides, why do you need so many gifts at such a young age? "

"Xixi should keep it as a dowry when she gets married in the future." Xixi said to her father very seriously with her eyes wide open.

"What? As a dowry? You are so young, but you know what a dowry is. That will happen decades later.

Eh? That's not right!" Li Shen felt something was wrong when he said this, and immediately looked around.

"Who the hell gave Xixi all this? How could a little kid like her know about the dowry? Hurry up and check for me. If anyone finds out, beat her to death with a stick."

"Your Highness, the young lady once said that she heard it from you, and you said that you should make more money to save up your dowry.

The young lady said that she didn’t want her father to suffer so much, so…so…”

Xixi's wet nurse replied weakly.

"What? Did the king say that? Cough!" Li Shen coughed awkwardly, touched his daughter's head, and was deeply moved.

"Xixi has grown up, but even so, you shouldn't ask your uncle for things. Your uncle has no money."

"Ahem~~~" Li Chengqian, who had been silent the whole time, coughed twice, looked at Li Shen and said with gritted teeth:

"Tenth brother, you really teach me well!"

After saying this, he silently took off the prince's jade pendant from his waist.
