The little fox does not want to hide the cub

To eat, or not to eat?

Jiang Shen made a quick decision in his heart, but in the end reason prevailed.

Although he didn't know how his past self would fall into this situation, he was clearly able to handle it now.

Relying on medicine, what does that look like?

Seeing that he hesitated, Li Ruan continued to persuade him: "Eat, I don't want you to ruin your body because of me, you have so many things to deal with every day, what should you do if your body fails?" What? You just eat—"

He rambled on a long list, before he could finish, Jiang Shen took the pill from his hand.

Then threw it aside.

Li Ruan let out a "hey", and was suddenly pulled by Jiang Shen, pulling him into his arms: "Who can't do it?"

Jiang Shen was sitting in front of the table where he usually reads, Li Ruan was pushed against the edge of the table by him, subconsciously struggled, and was easily imprisoned by Jiang Shen.

He has a slender figure, Jiang Shen can grab both of his wrists with only one hand, and if he doesn't use mana, he can hardly break free from him.

Jiang Shen pinched the back of his neck, and said in a vicious tone, "Did I spoil you too much recently?"

Li Ruan was completely unaware of the danger coming, and happily replied: "You have always spoiled me."

"Yeah." Jiang Shen slowly kneaded the back of his neck, his voice was very soft, but also a little ruthless, "Then do you want to know what it would be like if you didn't spoil you?"

Li Ruan blinked.

The little fox demon didn't know at all, because he cried so much every time, Jiang Shen was always trying to accommodate him.Every time it was very light and slow, I stopped when I realized that he couldn't bear it, and tried my best to make him feel more comfortable every time.

He has been accommodated so many times that he has never experienced what it looks like when he is not accommodated, let alone playing tricks on people.

Otherwise, how could he ask so many times every night.

Once was enough for him.

"Those tricks you have read in the storybook, do you want to try?" Jiang Shen kissed his ears bit by bit, watching the person in his arms breathing quickly with satisfaction.

The little fox demon is naturally obsessive, and her emotions are always so fast.

Li Ruan leaned back against the edge of the table, unable to sit still: "No, don't you want to go to bed?"

"Well, I won't go tonight." Jiang Shen said softly, hugging him in his arms and kissing him softly.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made up his mind tonight, to let this little monster who knows nothing about the sky and the earth have a long memory.

He became serious, how could Li Ruan play him better.

Almost not long after the beginning, Li Ruan was forced to cry by him.

Li Ruan was full of regrets.

The vicious Jiang Shen was many times scarier than usual, so he just left him alone after teasing him, forcing him to take it himself if he wanted it.

Li Ruan quickly exhausted all his strength, and finally couldn't even cry.

When Jiang Shen hugged him to take a bath, Li Ruan's anger had leaked out so much that his ears and tail were exposed again, and he still couldn't wake up for a long time.

His Royal Highness's lesson tonight was very effective. From that day on, Li Ruan never doubted Jiang Shen's ability, and never dared to tease him about his failure.

The one who can't do it is obviously himself.

But fortunately, Jiang Shen didn't use this trick every time to torment him. Most of the time, he was still very gentle and considerate, always thinking of him.

A few times... Li Ruan actually doesn't reject it.

Because no matter how difficult the process is, it will always be comfortable in the end.

Although always comfortable a little too much.

After a few more days, the weather completely warmed up, and Emperor Chongxuan's body miraculously improved.

The Holy Majesty has been ill for the whole winter, and now he can finally get out of bed, and he is in a good mood. He decreed that he would take his relatives in the harem to go outside the capital for an outing.

Emperor Chongxuan brought many chariots and horses with him on this trip, and the convoy lined up from the gate of the palace to Chang'an Avenue, heading out of the city in a mighty manner.

As for the emperor's royal driver, the Holy Majesty only summoned two people to accompany him.

Prince Jiang Shen, and the little beauty brought back to the palace by him.

Ordinary people never see this kind of battle throughout the year, and they crowded on both sides of the long street to join in the fun.The Holy Majesty was willing to have fun with the people, so Jiang Shen asked Jiang Shen to lift the curtain of the carriage and waved outside.

Emperor Chongxuan's complexion has indeed improved a lot recently, and he is no longer the lifeless look before.He looked at the grand occasion on the street, with a smile in his eyes: "I heard that the last emperor of the previous dynasty was arrogant, extravagant, and tyrannical. In the last few years, there were wars everywhere in the world, but he shut himself in the palace and only cared about Enjoyment. Two days before the country was broken, he went to the city gate to inspect the armaments, and when he went to the street, someone even threw dung on his car frame."

He sighed, and said leisurely: "So, for a king, the most important thing is to win the hearts of the people."

Jiang Shenying said: "Father is deeply loved by the people, which is what the people want."

"I? No, not I." Emperor Chongxuan seemed a little tired, leaned back into the cushion of the carriage, and said with a smile, "They are looking at you."

Jiang Shen fell silent.

"What a wonderful thing, the people like you, and I am happy for you." Emperor Chongxuan motioned him to put down the curtain, and said softly, "Among my sons, you are the only one who puts the people in the most attention. It should be your favorite."

Jiang Shen: "Father is absurd."

"It's a pity that you have no heirs." Emperor Chongxuan's eyes fell on Li Ruan.

After Li Ruan got into the car, he sat obediently beside Jiang Shen and didn't speak all the time. Hearing what Emperor Chongxuan said, he frowned slightly.

Who said that he has no heirs, he obviously has...

Li Ruan quietly touched his lower abdomen with his hand hidden in his sleeve.

It has grown noticeably recently.

But he was afraid of causing trouble for Jiang Shen, so he didn't dare to interrupt in front of the emperor.

Jiang Shen also frowned.

He had received the news a few days ago that during this time, while he was busy with the imperial examinations, Concubine Shu ran to the Holy Majesty's bedroom almost every day, presumably she had already mentioned to the Holy Majesty that she wanted Jiang Shen to be a concubine.

Jiang Shen couldn't figure out what the attitude of Emperor Chongxuan was, so he turned slightly sideways to block Li Ruan behind him, and said in a low voice: "My son is devoted to the country, and I don't want to think about these sons and daughters' private affairs for the time being."

"Don't you think about yourself or the people around you?" Emperor Chongxuan seemed to have known that he would say this, and said calmly, "Concubine Shu told me two days ago that the crown prince and Mr. Li are in love, and I hope I make an exception. Prince Yun made Prince Li the Crown Princess."

"...What do you guys think?"

Li Ruan raised her head quietly and met Jiang Shen's gaze.

Before setting off, Jiang Shen reminded him that Concubine Shu Gui should make some moves recently, so he should be careful.But he didn't expect that Emperor Chongxuan couldn't wait to have a showdown with them before leaving the capital.

Ask him what he thinks...

Li Ruan is not an ordinary person, he doesn't care whether he is married or not, or has status in the palace.

Jiang Shen looked back at him comfortingly before asking Emperor Chongxuan: "Father means..."

"Those younger brothers of yours have had wives and concubines in groups a few years ago. If you like it, I will give him a position." Emperor Chongxuan said, "If you want to marry a Ming matchmaker, you can also. I will go back and tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs to let them Prepare as soon as possible."

Jiang Shen didn't expect Emperor Chongxuan to be so eloquent, but he didn't make a statement, quietly waiting for his next words.

Sure enough, Emperor Chongxuan changed the subject: "However, there is no precedent for a man to be the royal wife in this dynasty, so you can't start it."

The royal family only cares about pleasure, this is the biggest taboo, and it is also the most dissatisfied part of the royal family in this dynasty.Now it's hard to come out with a prince who doesn't value money or lust. This is what the people like Jiang Shen very much.

This reputation cannot be destroyed for the sake of a beauty.

Jiang Shen still lowered his head and did not express his opinion.

Emperor Chongxuan: "From my point of view, the best way to do it is, you first establish a concubine to have children, cut off the gossip of others, and you can do whatever you want in the future."

Jiang Shen's eyes dimmed.

it is as expected.

The noise outside the carriage gradually subsided, and it should have left the busiest street.Jiang Shen didn't answer, and Emperor Chongxuan didn't rush to urge, the carriage was swaying, and the atmosphere was a bit heavy.

Li Ruan quietly rubbed her stomach again.

He still didn't have any appetite this morning, and he barely drank a few mouthfuls of porridge. He didn't know if he was a little motion sick at the moment, but he felt nauseated and wanted to vomit.

Xu Shi saw that Jiang Shen didn't answer for a long time, and Emperor Chongxuan said again: "Actually, I don't care whether you have heirs or not. In all dynasties, there has never been a saying that you can't be an emperor if you have no children. It's just these two days, in front of me. There are too many people saying this, and I really find it troublesome."

Jiang Shen's voice was lukewarm: "It seems that there are quite a lot of people who worry about my son's marriage."

"There are quite a lot." Emperor Chongxuan said, "Did you see it when you got into the carriage just now? Concubine Rong, Concubine Chen, Concubine Ning, all of them are accompanied by their family members. Who do you think they are preparing for?"

When Emperor Chongxuan said this, there was no sense of oppression, but a look of great interest.

Those concubines with female relatives have no princes under their knees. Once the Holy One abdicates, they will have no attachments.However, if a woman in the family can be married to Jiang Shen and become a queen or concubine in the future, the family will be able to continue to prosper.

In fact, before this, many concubines had already proposed this idea, but they were all rejected by Jiang Shen.

Recently, probably because of the news that Concubine Shu Gui urged His Majesty to establish Concubine Jiang Shen, that's why he hurried to say these things in front of His Majesty.

Wanting to understand what was going on, Jiang Shen raised his eyes to Emperor Chongxuan beside him.

He almost suspected that Emperor Chongxuan had organized this outing on purpose, and wanted to leave those troubles to Jiang Shen.

No, there is no need to doubt it at all.

If not, why did he and the little fox know last night that the Holy Majesty wanted to take them out of the palace for an outing, but those concubines seemed to have got the news early and brought all the female relatives with them.

Jiang Shen pressed the space between his eyebrows.

This outing... is a bit troublesome.

"Father shouldn't have made up his mind yet?" Jiang Shen asked after thinking about it.

"Of course not." Emperor Chongxuan was very patient, "Why would I decide for you about your affairs, of course you have to choose yourself."

Although there was no decision, Emperor Chongxuan still mentioned a few names just now.

Concubine Rong, Concubine Chen, Concubine Ning, behind these concubines are extremely large and famous families.Jiang Shen just offended some aristocratic families in the imperial examination, now is the time when he needs the support of famous families.

Whoever he chooses will get his support.

To choose or not to choose, who to choose, and how to choose, these are the questions that will be placed in front of him immediately.

Emperor Chongxuan seems to be watching from the sidelines now, but in fact it throws him a new test.

Jiang Shen said: "I will not choose any of my ministers."

Emperor Chongxuan's eyes moved slightly.

"Father, don't push your son into the fire pit." Jiang Shen sighed softly, as if a little helpless, "My mother used to tell my son that my father was soft-hearted at the beginning, and he would accept it when he was persuaded." A few side concubines, and ended up disturbing the peace of the harem, I regret it very much."

In fact, it was Emperor Chongxuan who took in these concubines in order to gain the support of famous families when he seized the throne.

As a result, these ladies who were born in famous families have learned how to gain a foothold in the harem since elementary school and make profits for themselves.Not only did no one really treat him sincerely, they were also full of fame and power, causing the harem to be in a mess, and even almost made a move on the queen.

In a fit of anger, Emperor Chongxuan severely punished several of them, only to put an end to this trend.

Emperor Chongxuan himself hated this kind of famous marriage the most.

Jiang Shen smiled slightly: "Even if the minister really wants to marry, he must marry the one he likes, just like the father and the mother."

Emperor Chongxuan stared at him for a long time, and then laughed too.

"Okay, okay, okay..." He said three good things in a row, and coughed a few times due to emotional fluctuations, before sighing, "If I had you to be so decisive back then, I wouldn't have let your mother Suffering those grievances when I was young."

Jiang Shen lowered his head: "My mother never blamed you."

"But you're blaming me, right?" Emperor Chongxuan said, "That's why you always refused to let me hug you when you were a child, and you cried whenever you hugged me. I know that you are angry for your mother."

Jiang Shen lowered his eyes and did not answer.

"I'm a little tired, you guys go down." Emperor Chongxuan leaned back on the cushion and closed his eyes slightly, "I won't come forward to help you solve those ladies from aristocratic families. If you really don't want to, then you can figure out a way yourself."

Jiang Shen only answered "Yes" in a low voice, saluted Emperor Chongxuan, and led Li Ruan out of the carriage.

They have now left the capital and are in a forest, and the convoy has opened up some distance.Jiang Shen led Li Ruan to wait for his carriage by the side of the road, the carriages and horses passed by slowly, and from time to time someone lifted the curtain to peep at him.

Yuemo is those ladies from aristocratic families who were brought by the concubine.

Jiang Shen didn't bother to pay attention to these gazes, and turned his head to look at the young man beside him.

Only then did he realize that the young man's face was faintly pale, and his expression was sickly.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Shen hurriedly pulled him into his arms, and patted his back comfortingly, "Do you feel unwell?"

Li Ruan shook his head lightly, did not speak, looked a little uncomfortable.

Jiang Shen lowered his head to kiss him, but he dodged it.

"Are you angry with me?" Jiang Shen reassured, "Don't be angry, I won't marry someone else, I refused just now. Judging by my father's attitude, he shouldn't be in a hurry to force me to become a concubine. , these young ladies from aristocratic families, I will find a way to refuse them."

"Don't talk to me." Li Ruan looked away, "... want to vomit."

Jiang Shen was taken aback.

really so angry?

Jiang Shen had known the boy for so long, and had never seen him so angry, so he panicked for a while.

Just then, a carriage stopped in front of them.

The little eunuch jumped out of the carriage, bowed to Jiang Shen, and smiled all over his face: "His Royal Highness, Concubine Rong would like to invite His Highness to get on the carriage."

The curtain of the carriage was lifted at one corner, and no one could be seen, only an embroidered silk handkerchief was exposed.

Jiang Shen panicked even more.

He ignored the little eunuch, and whispered urgently to Li Ruan: "Little fox, listen to me, I really didn't—"

Before he finished speaking, Li Ruan suddenly pushed him away forcefully, supported the tree trunk by the roadside, and vomited out painfully.

Jiang Shen: "???"
