I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Li Shen raised the wine glass in his hand and said to everyone:

“I am happy today, so you can drink a few cups with me.

Thank you for your hard work this year. Everyone has contributed to the Ji Palace.

This King has seen all of this and is very pleased.

Mei Niang, in particular, is extremely intelligent, quick-witted, and talented. She has been helping Princess Ji manage the huge palace over the years and has worked very hard.

So this first cup, I toast to you."

After saying that, Li Shen drank it all in one gulp. Lu Dingniang beside him quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe Li Shen's mouth.

The others stood up.

"Your Majesty, this is what we should do. We are all your people, so we should naturally contribute to the Ji Palace.

To be honest, we have to thank you, Your Highness, for taking us in and allowing us to live such a glorious life.

The prince treats us sincerely. We are his people in life and his ghosts in death."

The first person to speak was Wu Meiniang, who, as a concubine, was the second in command in the palace.

Of course, there is a big difference between her and the princess. This is different from the relationship between the queen and the imperial concubine.

There is a huge difference in their status, and it is only because Lu Dingniang is kinder that she uses him.

In addition, Wu Meiniang gave birth to a child for the Ji Wang Mansion, and she was a hero to the Ji Wang Mansion. Otherwise, Lu Dingniang would have the right to speak to her.

In other royal and noble houses, she would be just a concubine.

“Madam Wu is right, I was born in a humble family, if the prince had not given up on me, I would not have had such glory.

I offer a toast to the prince and princess, thanking them for their trust."

Liu Ruyan and Su Xiaoxiao stood up at the same time.

Among Li Shen's seven wives and concubines, these two had the highest status. They were born in brothels and their ancestors were convicted officials.

It was Prince Ji who took them as concubines, and only then their status was changed from slaves to good people.

This is like pie in the sky.

In the past, the best a courtesan could do was to become a concubine of some nobleman, and she never dared to dream of being favored by a prince.

In an instant, they flew onto the tree branch and turned into a phoenix. I don't know how many colleagues envied them.

Lu Dingniang smiled and picked up the wine glass and said:

"You two don't have to be polite. Since you have followed me, you are my people, and I will naturally not treat you unfairly.

Besides, you are very tired from taking care of the affairs in heaven and on earth.

I only hope that you can give birth to children as soon as possible to expand my Ji Wang Mansion.

By then, you will be worthy of the prince's favor to you."

After hearing what Lu Dingniang said, the two of them blushed and felt a little shy.

In fact, they also wanted to give birth to children for Li Shen. This was also for their future considerations and was related to their status in Prince Ji's Mansion.

They didn't want to commit the seven reasons for divorce and be kicked out of Prince Ji's mansion. The three greatest acts of unfilial piety were not having a successor, not to mention Prince Ji, who was of royal blood.

However, ever since Prince Ji returned from Qinghai Road, he seldom had sex with them alone, and there were not many opportunities.

Not only the two of them, but also Chunxiang and Dongmei.

However, Chunxiang and Dongmei were not in a hurry. They had followed Li Shen since childhood. Even if they were not concubines, they were personal maids who warmed the bed.

Prince Ji would never drive them away.

"I will obey the princess's orders and give birth to a child for the palace." After saying this, the two drank the wine in their glasses.

Lu Dingniang also took a sip symbolically.

Li Shen, who was beside her, felt a little embarrassed when he heard Lu Dingniang urging her to give birth so openly.

This matter cannot be blamed on anyone else, it is mainly his problem. When he was in Qinghai Road, he asked someone to look at him, and the person said that he was weak in many ways.

After coming back, I went to Sun Simiao again and got some tonic prescriptions.

But it has been half a year and there is still no movement.

Do I really have to abstain from sex?

"Bang!" Thinking of this, Li Shen slammed the table, scaring everyone around him. They didn't know what King Ji was angry about.

"My dear, what happened?" Lu Dingniang asked.

"I have decided that I will get up half an hour earlier tomorrow to practice martial arts." Li Shen gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Everyone was stunned. Is it really that serious? Just getting up half an hour earlier, and such a big reaction.

"Eat, don't just stand there." Li Shen waved his hand and everyone started to move.

During this meal, Li Shen and his woman drank and chatted about trivial matters in the palace.

Lu Dingniang also reported some matters of the palace to Li Shen.

The scene was full of joy, and Li Shen would ask Yangyang about his schoolwork from time to time.

He has reached the enlightenment stage and has begun to read and learn to write.

Yangyang's personality is too calm, which is not like Li Shen's personality at all. I don't know if it's because of his personality.

It was Wu Meiniang who taught her specifically.

It doesn't look like what a five or six-year-old child should look like.

Li Shen even once suspected that his son might be a time traveler like himself.

Because Li Shen was like this when he traveled through time. At such a young age, he was more calm than he should have been.

After dinner, Li Shen made a special trip to Wu Meiniang's courtyard to visit his beloved daughter.

Seeing her father coming, Xixi felt very aggrieved. She hugged Li Shen and started crying, accusing her mother and aunt of making her drink bitter medicine.

Li Shen comforted her softly, hugged her and coaxed her for a long time, and made various promises before he gave up.

But that night Li Shen still slept in Lu Dingniang's room. He decided to be moderate and abstain from sex.

The next day, Li Shen was pulled up by Lu Dingniang.

"My dear, didn't you say you wanted to get up early to practice martial arts?"

"Madam, I'm just talking." Li Shen sat there in a daze, his brain still not working.

Lu Dingniang didn't care about anything else. She called the maid and started to dress Li Shen.

Two quarters of an hour later, Li Shen appeared in the training ground of the palace guards in a tight outfit.

This is a camp specially prepared for guards, just to the west of Prince Ji's Palace.

Prince Ji's mansion has an area of ​​one block, so it is not a problem to prepare a training camp for several hundred people.

Li Shen was no longer old enough to practice martial arts, and the boxing he practiced was taught by Sun Simiao.

He first ran with the guards. After running about two miles, Li Shen stuck out his tongue like a dog and began to practice boxing.

After struggling for half an hour, Li Shen finally walked back to the back house, took a shower and changed his clothes. He had other things to do today.

For example, go to the Princess Gaoyang's mansion to meet her sister who is one year older than her, or to scare her.

After eating, bathing and changing clothes, Li Shen got on a carriage and headed to Princess Gaoyang's mansion.

At this time, Princess Gaoyang was angry with Fang Yiai.

"Fang Yiai, I tell you, this Duke of Liang must come back.

There are still so many properties in the Duke of Liang's Mansion. Even if the eldest son inherits, we can't get nothing."

"Princess, aren't you asking my elder brother and I to separate? We will be laughed at." For some reason, Fang Yiai became timid when she saw Gao Yang.

"What's wrong with splitting up the family? Duke Liang has already passed away, and you were going to split up the family anyway."

Gao Yang said nonchalantly.
