Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

The first thing that Concubine Wei wrote in her letter was that Wu Meiniang was pregnant, and she was already three months pregnant.

Li Shen secretly rejoiced that it was not a month, he had only been out for less than two months.

Shortly after Li Shen left, Wu Meiniang suddenly felt unwell, including vomiting, fatigue, lethargy, and loss of appetite.

Lu Dingniang was considerate and asked the doctor from the house to take a look at Wu Meiniang. Unexpectedly, she found a pulse and said she was happy.

This made Lu Dingniang extremely happy. She had not consummated her marriage with Li Shen all this time. Prince Ji's family has not yet had a child.

In fact, Lu Dingniang is also under a lot of pressure. Although Lang Jun said that he would wait a few years because he was young, he has never had a child so the outside world will think of it, and the clan will not ignore it.

Wu Meiniang's pregnancy this time really relieved her pressure.

Lu Dingniang was even happier than Wu Meiniang, and immediately sent someone to pick up Sun Simiao for follow-up consultation. After Sun Simiao came over to see it, he also concluded that it was a happy pulse, and it was two months old.

This made everyone in Prince Ji's palace very happy. Lu Dingniang changed her past stinginess and asked Wei Fugui to arrange a grand reward for the whole family.

The monthly expenses of Wu Meiniang's courtyard increased from one hundred guan to three hundred guan, and the number of maids increased from two to ten.

Wu Meiniang also thanked Madam for the reward. Although Prince Ji's palace was making a lot of money, Li Shen was actually spending money randomly.

The cost of the house is actually not high, and the labor cost is only a little more than other houses, but it is not exaggerated. The normal monthly cost of Wu Meiniang's yard is already sky-high, including ten guan.

Only Li Shen would give one hundred guan, and Wu Meiniang would have a lot of money left over every month. But this time Lu Dingniang was happy to give [-] guan every month, mainly to buy some supplements.

Even if I try my best to spend all my flowers on Wu Mei Niang, I can’t finish them all.

Lu Dingniang hurriedly reported the good news to her mother-in-law and the queen. This was a big deal. A new member of the royal family had to be registered regardless of whether he was a legitimate child or not.

If Wu Meiniang can give birth to a boy for the royal family this time, her status will be different.

Sure enough, after the queen learned the news, she immediately called Wu Meiniang into the palace and asked the imperial doctor to confirm it.

After all, Li Shen was nominally her son, so as a mother, of course she would be nervous.

After the imperial doctor confirmed it, Empress Changsun was very happy and took out a lot of body-replenishing tributes from her internal funds to reward Wu Meiniang.

Concubine Wei was also happy to give some instructions, and specifically applied to the queen to send an old palace maid who had served her from pregnancy to delivery to Prince Ji's Mansion.

Not only can he take care of Wu Mei, who knows nothing, but he can also find a place for this old slave to retire.

These loyal slaves are actually the worst off. Their master trusts them so they have to serve them all the time. Although they can get more money, they usually leave the palace when they are old.

It is not easy for a palace maid to marry a good family when she leaves the palace in her 40s, and it is even worse for eunuchs.

When Li Shen read the first page of the letter, he was extremely excited. He could finally be a father and no longer had to be a son.

Li Shen now wants to fly back, what battlefield has anything to do with him.

With children, he has spiritual sustenance and inheritance.

Resisting the impulse in his heart, Li Shen started reading the second page again.

The second page contained some trivial matters, saying that both she and Li Shimin were fine and in good health, and that he should not worry about it.

And everything is fine in the palace.

Finally, he mentioned that his sister Li Mengjiang's wedding was approaching, and it was still a month away.

Li Shen saw this slap on the head, and he forgot about it before setting off for the expedition. When Li Mengjiang got married, his younger brother had to attend.

But the most troublesome thing for him came. He was the marching governor, and it was impossible to go back without an imperial edict.

And there is no stable situation here. At least the three cities of Hengshan, Xincheng, and Nansu must be solved first, because this place is surrounded by branches of Liao River.

There are only these three cities in the middle. Li Shen meant that after taking these three cities, he could slowly recuperate and let the people farm with peace of mind.

Such a large plain can grow a lot of food, and being surrounded by water is also a natural barrier.

Without further ado, before Li Shen came to write the case, Shuashua began to write a letter to his family, and the recipient of the letter was Li Shimin. In this way, it will not be sent to the three provinces.

The content is also very simple. He wants to go back to attend Li Mengjiang's wedding. In exchange, he will help Li Chengqian win the three cities here before the imperial edict comes back.

After writing, seal it with beeswax and stamp your private seal, then walk out of your tent to find the messenger.

The messenger was already preparing to go back with the memorials from Li Chengqian and Li Daozong.

Crossing the Liao River this time is also a great victory, and of course I have to report it to Li Shimin.

"Give this letter to Your Majesty and say it is my home letter. It will be sent six hundred miles away as a haste when you return." Li Shen handed his letter to the messenger and said.

The messenger took the letter and nodded in agreement. Originally, he had to rush back six hundred miles this time, just by the way.

Afterwards, two messengers mounted their horses and hurried back to Chang'an.

But Li Shen became energetic and quickly rushed into Li Chengqian's commander's tent.

"It's work, it's work." Li Shen shouted as soon as he entered.

"Tenth brother, what did you say about work?" Li Chengqian was puzzled. The tenth brother became so excited after reading a letter from home.

"Of course I am preparing to take those three cities." Li Shen said.

"Tenth brother, the army is resting and the scouts have not returned. We still need to wait for news." He didn't understand why he wanted to attack those three small cities.

"You haven't come back yet? What are you doing here to eat? People are coming." Li Shen is now in a state of excitement.

Soon Xue Rengui walked in.

"Rengui, send my sharp blade out to find out the situation in Hengshan, Xincheng, and Nansu. I want to be quick."

"Yes"

"Brother, let the army prepare. We will capture three cities within ten days." Li Shen calculated the time.

If it was completed within ten days, he would be able to catch up just in time, and if the six-hundred-mile expedited round trip took ten days, he would be able to come back.

"What's wrong with you? Is there something urgent?" Li Chengqian asked again.

"After winning three cities, I will return to Chang'an. My sister is getting married." Li Shen told the truth.

Oh~~ Sure enough, Li Chengqian said that his younger brother has always been holding back and trying to push back. Why is he so active today?

"Don't attack casually if you are in a hurry. You must consider the long term."

"Brother, you can make long-term decisions here. I'll go back to the big tent to think about the battle plan." After saying that, he walked out of the handsome tent without looking back.

He needed to go back and make a plan, and this time Li Shen planned to use his guards to strike quickly and effectively.

It's also time to use the sharp edge. For so long, the sharp edge has been doing detective work or sneaking around.

It has never played a role on the battlefield. This time Li Shen wanted to fight quickly. After returning to the camp, Li Shen summoned Xue Rengui.

Li Shen made the request, Xue Rengui was responsible for improving it, and Li Shen prepared to use the tactics of later generations:

Beheading operation~~~
