Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

King Ji's move was extremely loud, and it immediately silenced everyone present.

These eighteen big pearls are worth a lot of money at a glance. Prince Ji really spent a lot of money to please the Queen.

Empress Changsun smiled happily after accepting the gift and praised Li Shen for his filial piety.

"Oh, I also brought gifts to the mother-in-law and the others. They were all silk and cloud yarn. "Li Shen continued.

Shitou hurriedly ran downstairs and came up a moment later with a few maids carrying a bunch of things.

Li Shen stood up, first took a piece of silk and a piece of cloud yarn to Queen Changsun, and then began to distribute them one by one.

Concubine Yan, Concubine Yin, Concubine Yang, Concubine Wei, Concubine Jin, and even Xu Hui got two horses.

Li Shen threw the rest to the eunuchs of Daji Hall and asked them to take them back to Daji Hall.

Everyone began to thank Li Shen, and the relationship between them immediately became closer.

Everyone was thanking the prince Li Shen and praising Concubine Wei for her skill in raising her children.

Since ancient times, giving gifts has been a way for Chinese people to bring people closer together.

After Li Shen handed out the gifts and sat down, someone was surprised and said,

"This silk and this cloud gauze are both tributes."

Hearing the sound, everyone carefully identified it. Indeed, it was fine silk and cloud yarn.

This piece of silk costs hundreds or even thousands of guan, and it has always been said that every inch of silk is precious.

No one expected that King Ji would get so many horses.

Everyone liked it very much and began to praise Li Shen for his filial piety.

Only the three men sitting there didn't look very good.

Li Shimin and the other two looked at Li Shen sultryly with a sullen face, and kept saying humbly to the others.

This made Mr. Li Shimin very unhappy.

Li Tai and Li Zhi were because Li Shen stole the limelight and won everyone's favor, which seemed to make them inferior.

There is no harm without comparison.

Li Shimin's reason was straightforward. His stepmother and his biological mother all had gifts, and even his baby mother had gifts. He, his biological father, was just staring at her.

Li Shen did this not once or twice.

Basically every time I come back from a trip, or when I give gifts during New Years and holidays, he doesn't get it.

If you want to say that he is unfilial, he makes these stepmothers and stepmothers very happy.

But if you want to talk about filial piety, he, as a biological father, has achieved nothing.

Sometimes he wanted to complain, but no one was on his side, and Empress Changsun had to say that he was petty.

This made Li Shimin feel aggrieved.

After Li Shen finished entertaining everyone, he turned back and prepared to continue drinking and eating.

But as soon as he turned around, he felt three pairs of eyes staring at him.

"Um, Aye, Fourth Brother, Ninth Brother, what's wrong with you? Is there anything wrong?" Li Shen lowered his head and looked to see if there was anything on his body.

"Tenth brother, you are really generous." Li Tai said sourly.

Li Zhi nodded and said nothing.

"Oh, you are talking about gifts. This is not a lavish spend. It is only more than 1 strings of silk and cloud yarn.

You don’t know that’s all they say, saying it’s difficult to make or something. Otherwise I would have to buy more. "

Li Shen said nonchalantly.

"More than 1 threads of silk gauze?"

"More than 1 strings?"

Li Tai opened his mouth, and Li Zhi also exclaimed. Even Li Shimin was a little shocked.

The three words "Prodigal Son" came into the minds of the three people at the same time.

Look at who buys cloth for ten thousand guan and ten thousand guan.

"Old Shi, you just gave your mother a gift and didn't bring anything else back?" Li Shimin couldn't resist the temptation.

Li Shimin wouldn't take fancy to gifts from ordinary people. Just like Li Tai and Li Zhi, they never took away as many gifts as they came to give.

But Li Shen's is different. Li Shen can get some good things every time, many of which are not available in the palace.

“There’s nothing left, the only things left are some local products.

Lingnan Road is indeed uncivilized and there are very few local specialties, which are all bought elsewhere. "

Li Shen answered seriously.

Li Shimin saw that Li Shen didn't understand what he meant. He didn't know whether Li Shen was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.

But he couldn't directly ask if he had prepared a gift for himself. As a king of a country, this was so embarrassing.

"Oh, who are you buying things for?" Li Shimin asked again.

"Just these people, there is no one else." Li Shen turned around and looked back before replying.

This made Li Shimin very angry.

"Old Shi, since you have returned from the Dudu's Mansion in Guangzhou, go to Goguryeo as soon as possible.

How is it unbecoming for a commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition to be away from the army for a long time? "

Li Shimin said to Li Shen with a serious face.

Li Shen was confused when he said this, why did this change so quickly? He had just returned to Chang'an, and his butt was not even warm, so he had to rush to Goguryeo.

"Aye, I just came back. Should I let you have a rest before going to Goguryeo?"

Li Shen looked at Li Shimin and said pleadingly. In fact, he didn't want to go.

He had already calculated before he came back that if he stayed in Chang'an until October, Li Shimin would not let him go.

Because it takes a month to go to Goguryeo, it will be winter there, and the war has ceased.

"I, the son of the Li family, don't need to be so pampered. You are responsible for the duty of military governor. The army cannot be without a military governor for a long time."

Hearing what Li Shimin said so firmly, Li Shen turned his attention to Queen Changsun, raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while. At this time, the role of Queen Changsun was revealed.

She quietly pointed to the box held in the maid's hand.

Li Shen just thought about it and instantly understood that this was a bad gift. This Lao Li is too careless.

Want to send your son to the battlefield for a gift?

But people had to bow their heads under the eaves. There was no other way. Li Shen could only wave to the stone and whisper a few words in a low voice.

Shitou nodded, turned around and ran out quickly.

After that, Li Shen said nothing more and continued to eat and drink. Li Shimin stopped being aggressive after seeing Li Shen's actions.

Instead, the old god was talking to Empress Changsun, and the place that had been heated up by Li Shen suddenly cooled down.

Not long after, Shi Shi ran up panting holding a box.

He was going back to Prince Ji's Mansion to pick up something, and the journey was very fast.

"Your Majesty, bring it." Shitou whispered.

Li Shen took it over, opened it a little, took a look, nodded, and let the stone go down with a wave of his hand.

"Aye, look at my memory. I specially prepared a gift for Aye at the Governor's Mansion in Guangzhou. It is unique in the world. I forgot to take it when I was in a hurry.

Er just remembered and asked the stone to be brought over and dedicated to Aye. Hope Aye likes it. "

As he spoke, Li Shen presented the box in his hands to Li Shimin.

You don't have to say anything when asking for money, and you have to smile. This is the basic quality that Li Shen has cultivated over the years.
