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

As everyone knows, children who are close to the Queen will be favored by His Majesty.

There are cases like this, for example, Princess Yuzhang was born to a concubine who died during childbirth, and was raised by Empress Changsun.

Li Shimin's attitude towards Princess Yuzhang was different from that towards other princesses. He loved her very much and married her to Tang Jian's son Tang Shanshi.

Li Shen and the Queen are like real mother and son, no wonder His Majesty dotes on him so much.

Many of these people gave birth to princes and princesses, such as the four concubines and some imperial concubines.

But there is really no one like Prince Ji Li Shen who can act so recklessly and disrespectfully in front of His Majesty and the Queen.

Only Sizi and Hengshan were like this when they were young, but now they have grown up and become good girls.

Prince Ji Li Shen was highly favored, even those born of legitimate parents could not compare to him.

Empress Changsun was in a good mood at the moment, and she loved Li Shen even more. Although the gift was small, the thought was very important.

"Sister, you are the one who teaches your son well. You have brought up Shen'er to be so kind and filial."

Empress Changsun turned around and praised Concubine Wei beside her.

"Sister, you are too kind. This is because Shen'er often listens to your teachings. I really have never taught him anything.

If we talk about credit, it's you, sister, who has made the greatest contribution."

Concubine Wei smiled and shook her head, and the two of them started to flatter each other.

"Empress, Prince Ji is a humble man with a kind character and filial piety. I think he cannot escape the teachings of the Empress."

Concubine Yan De on the side also smiled and praised.

"Yes, yes. Prince Ji is kind and filial. This shows that the Empress and the Imperial Concubine have taught him well."

"We would like to thank His Royal Highness Prince Ji for the gift."

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Ji, for the gift."

The concubines also participated in this commercial program of mutual flattery, and they praised Li Shen as a saint one after another.

Those who know etiquette and understand benevolence and filial piety are the best people in the world.

Li Shen, who was standing aside, felt a little embarrassed and his face turned slightly red.

Li Shen felt that although these people were telling the truth, it was still a bit embarrassing to say it in front of him.

He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, you're so grateful, you're so grateful."

The atmosphere was already like this, Li Shen shouted outside, and Chunxiang walked in with a tray.

"Mother, this is the new soap from our Ji Palace. It comes in several flavors. You can choose one first."

At Li Shen's signal, Chunxiang brought the tray to Empress Changsun.

There were five bars of soap on it, wrapped in silk. Li Shen walked forward and opened it, revealing a layer of oil paper inside.

Open it again and you will find the soap.

Empress Changsun picked it up and smelled it. It had a light fragrance, which was very pleasant.

"Hmm, yes, this should be the scent of orchid."

"This is the scent of osmanthus, this is the scent of peony..."

Empress Chang Sun opened them one by one, smelled them, and said the name of each flower scent.

Li Shen was impressed that he could even distinguish the scents of different flowers.

Li Shen asked for a long time at home but couldn't get the answer.

If the name wasn't written outside, Li Shen wouldn't have known what the flower smelled like.

In the end, Empress Changsun liked the scent of osmanthus more, so Li Shen immediately ordered the stones outside to pick out the osmanthus scent and save it for the Empress.

The rest were distributed among all the concubines by the queen.

As for Concubine Wei, the Queen knew without a doubt that she must have had a share, perhaps Concubine Wei had been involved a long time ago.

But the queen was not angry. After all, she was her biological mother and there was nothing wrong with that.

The atmosphere became heated again, with voices of thanks and praises ringing out, and the scene was warm and harmonious.

Only in the center of this warm scene, there appeared a dark area.

This was where Li Shimin, who was sitting in the main seat, looked very out of place in the warm and bright surroundings.

Li Shimin's face had turned gloomy at this moment, which was out of tune with the joy around him.

He really wanted to ask if he was a little redundant.

At this moment, Li Shimin really wanted to hit someone. He looked at Li Shen with resentment, and Li Shen deliberately avoided his gaze several times.

Okay, okay, just now Wang De said that the visitor had ill intentions, but he came and gave me a warning.

At this moment, Li Shimin thought that this was directed at him.

Didn’t Concubine Wei beat you up yesterday, and now you’re here to take revenge? I really can’t bear it.

No wonder people outside say that Prince Ji never bears grudges and takes revenge on the spot.

At this time, Li Shimin could only endure it, otherwise he would be accused of being petty.

Looking at Li Shen, who was like the moon surrounded by stars, Li Shimin was so angry that he sat there secretly thinking about his luck.

Li Shen naturally saw it, but he was not moved at all and pretended not to see it.

Empress Changsun saw Li Shen's children and waved:

"Come here quickly and let grandma take a look."

The most active Xixi was the first to run over, hugging Empress Changsun's legs and calling her "Grandma, Grandma" constantly.

Yangyang was more steady, he walked over and bowed respectfully.

"Grandma, Aye's soap smells really good. If you don't believe me, just ask."

Xixi stretched out her little hand and said to Empress Changsun.

"Xixi! Don't be rude!" Li Shen scolded immediately upon seeing this.

"Haha, it's okay." Empress Chang Sun waved her hand, walked forward, smelled it, and nodded.

“It smells really good.”

"Yes, yes, it smells very good after taking a bath." Xixi nodded repeatedly.

At this time, Empress Changsun saw Li Wei in Lu Dingniang's arms and said with a smile:

"Hurry up and let grandma hug you."

Lu Dingniang quickly handed Li Wei over.

Li Wei was still young and had just begun to learn to talk and walk. He seldom went to the palace often and was relatively unfamiliar with people.

He seemed a little nervous when being held by Empress Changsun, and kept looking at his mother.

"You bastard, this is your grandmother, call her Grandma." Li Shen scolded his son when he saw how timid he was.

"What a jerk! He's only a toddler, how can he speak?"

Li Shimin, who was standing by, found an opportunity to curse angrily.

"Uh..." Li Shen was speechless.

"Haha, it's okay. Er is smart. He will definitely be able to become a pillar of our Tang Dynasty like Shen'er in the future."

Empress Changsun laughed and praised Li Wei, saying that he was the eldest son of Prince Ji's Mansion and would inherit the palace in the future.

"Tsk~~" Li Shimin sneered. This rebellious son can also be called a pillar? It really makes people laugh.

Every time the Queen and the concubines praised Li Shen, Li Shimin would sneer in his ears.

How can this guy be said to be kind and filial, or have a good character?

Li Shen sat down with his family and they began to chat. Apart from paying his respects, Li Shen did not say a word to his father.

Instead, it made Empress Changsun and all the concubines very happy.

Gradually, Empress Changsun felt the changes in the attitudes of Li Shen and Li Shimin, father and son.

I thought to myself, what's going on? Are the father and son going to fight again?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It seemed that there would be another good show to watch today.
