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

Ma Hu did not refuse, but he said the ugly thing first.

Of course Zhao Derong also understood what Ma Hu meant.

I can help you, but don't hold out too much hope, and don't blame others if it doesn't work.

Of course, you can't blame others for this kind of thing.

Zhao Derong didn't know how capable Ma Hu was or how high his status was in Prince Ji's mansion.

But since they are willing to help, it is a favor.

Thinking of this, Zhao Derong clasped his fists and saluted again:

"Thank you, Military Advisor Ma. If you need my help in the future, just let me know and I will do my best to help you."

"Captain, you are too kind. It's just a piece of cake."

Ma Hu also made a polite remark.

"Okay, then you and I will each write a letter now and ask them to take it back to Chang'an."

Zhao Derong nodded.

"That's great. I hope Captain Cao and his men will be blessed with good fortune and return safely."

Ma Hu also sighed.

~~~~~~~~~~~

It has been a month since Li Shen was beaten. During this month, Li Shen has been like a lady from a noble family.

He stayed at home and stayed at home to recuperate.

After lying on the ground for seven or eight days, Li Shen was barely able to walk.

In late September, the weather was so hot that Li Shen got prickly heat from lying down all the time.

As soon as he was able to walk, he ordered someone to make a pair of crutches and walked around the palace.

Now, one month later, Li Shen can already walk.

But he didn't go out.

Or fishing, or playing with the kids,

Or he might let several of his women play musical instruments and sing and dance for him.

Maybe modern people find these things boring without the electronic devices of later generations.

But Li Shen was born in the 1980s and grew up without any electronic devices.

The things he played with since childhood can also bring him happiness.

So this kind of life is not monotonous for him.

"Xixi~~~~I've told you so many times not to ride the dog. A-Da is too old to ride anymore.

Riding a dog will rot your crotch."

Li Shen sat on the recliner, looked at Xixi in the distance and yelled angrily, then lay down again after shouting.

At this moment, Li Shen was lying in the pavilion in the lake, and Liu Ruyan and Su Xiaoxiao were holding a fruit plate and feeding Li Shen fruit.

Lu Dingniang massaged Li Shen's shoulders, and Wu Meiniang massaged Li Shen's thighs.

Chunxiang and Dongmei each used a palm-leaf fan to fan Li Shen.

“Comfortable~~~~”

Li Shen lay down and murmured comfortably.

Isn't this the life he wants? Surrounded by beautiful women, with endless money to spend, and no restrictions.

If anyone gave him something to do at this time, Li Shen would definitely pick up a big knife and chop him.

Although it is autumn, the weather is still hot.

It hasn't rained for a long time. Li Shen estimated that many places would be dry, or even suffer from drought disasters.

But who cares? It has nothing to do with me. If there is drought, there will definitely be no drought in Chang'an City.

Eight rivers surround Chang'an, and the water conservancy projects are very complete.

If there is a drought and no harvest around Chang'an City and His Majesty finds out, the people in the Ministry of Works will be in big trouble.

Besides, even if Li Shen’s 300,000 acres of fertile land were to become unproductive, it would not be a big problem for Li Shen.

He also has several large granaries in various places.

"Shi Tou, go make a few glasses of iced juice, one for each person. What's wrong with this horrible weather?

God, please let it rain to cool us down."

Li Shen looked up and shouted to the sky.

"Boom!!!"

As soon as Li Shen finished speaking, a huge thunder sounded in the sky, which frightened Li Shen so much that he shivered and swore.

"F**K!!"

"Hehehehe!"

Several women laughed when they saw Li Shen's expression.

"Emma, ​​what's going on? Did God hear what I just said?"

Li Shen was still frightened and stretched his neck to look at the sky outside.

It was a cloudless day outside, with plenty of sunshine and no sign of rain.

"Drought thunder!"

Li Shen said something.

"Your Highness, is it going to rain?" Wu Meiniang asked.

"Thunder God sings first, so there won't be much rain." Li Shen sighed after lying down again.

"Aye, aye."

Xixi ran over at this time.

"what happened?"

Li Shen tilted his head and asked.

"Afraid!" Xixi said weakly.

The sudden thunder just now scared Xixi.

“Come, don’t be afraid, you won’t be scared if you touch the fur.

Xixi, don’t be afraid, with Aye here, Aye will help you drive away any evil spirits.”

Li Shen touched Xixi's head and comforted her softly.

At this time, Yangyang also came over, his face was a little pale, but he still maintained a serious expression.

"Aye, mother."

"Well, Yangyang was scared too."

Lu Dingniang pulled Yangyang over and asked.

After all, he is still young, only four years old. Although he is mentally mature, he is not that mature.

Yangyang thought about it for a while and finally nodded.

"Yangyang, don't be afraid. Your father is here. It's nothing. It's just thunder."

Lu Dingniang comforted Yangyang.

"Your Majesty, the iced juice is here."

At this time, Shitou brought his men to bring the juice over.

"Aye, Xixi wants to drink."

Xixi's eyes lit up when she saw the ice juice.

"Children will get stomachaches if they drink it, so they should drink it but not cold."

Li Shen refused immediately.

"Well... just one bite for you."

Seeing Xixi pouting and about to cry, Li Shen immediately changed his tone.

"Your Highness, you can't pamper her like this. She has become lawless in the mansion."

Wu Meiniang said helplessly that although it was a good thing for her daughter to be favored by the prince,

But this daughter is too noisy and is becoming more and more disobedient.

"It's okay, just practice those trumpets well, this one will be this long."

Li Shen turned around and said something.

The women had already known what the word "small number" meant from Li Shen.

So it's not surprising.

"Eh?? You agreed to take a sip, but you've already drunk half of it."

Grabbing the juice, Li Shen looked at Xixi, pretending to be angry as he looked at the half-remaining juice.

As a result, the little girl just laughed and turned and ran away.

"Hey, at what age do you think children should start to learn enlightenment?"

"Your Highness, we can find a teacher for them both next year since they started learning at the age of five. However, Xixi is a young lady.

You don't need to learn such profound knowledge. You can just learn women's virtues, needlework, singing and dancing.

When you grow up, you will have to learn how to manage the household business and so on. "

Lu Dingniang replied.

"Yeah, that's good. Learn more. There's no time to make trouble. Ouch, I have a headache."

Li Shen lay down slowly and took a sip of ice juice. This big bottle gave him a headache.

Each person was given a cup of iced juice, even the servants were there to serve. Li Shen took a look, thought for a moment, and waved to Shi Tou.

"My Lord, what other instructions do you have?"

Shitou bowed and nodded and came in front of Li Shen.

"Go and inform Fugui to set up a big pot, cook some green bean soup, put some sugar in it, and let each servant in the front yard drink two bowls to cool off.

You go and make arrangements in the backyard. By the way, ask Fugui to cook for the people in the royal barracks as well.

Those patrolling the backyard were also given two bowls. It’s not good to get a heat stroke in this weather.”
