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

Li Shen picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, looking at Lao De and his elder brother who were both shocked.

The reason why I am now in Lizheng Hall instead of Shenlong Hall has to do with the time when Li Shen entered the harem.

Li Shen's mind raced as he followed Wang De into the harem; he knew he couldn't go to the Shenlong Palace.

It is confirmed that the Dragon Temple is likely to be beaten.

So I kept thinking of solutions along the way.

After entering the harem, Li Shen suddenly said to Wang De:

"Old Prince, I just happened to pass by Lizheng Hall. I'll go in and ask my mother to come out for a while. Otherwise, as a son, it would be against morality and filial piety if I passed by my mother's door and didn't go in."

"this....."

Wang De hesitated. What Prince Ji said made sense, and it was against the rules to enter the palace without paying respects to the Queen.

What's more, what Prince Ji said was against filial piety.

But Wang De knew that Prince Ji must have some ulterior motives.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, you may pay your respects, but you must come out immediately, as His Majesty is waiting.

Please don't keep your Majesty waiting for too long."

After thinking about it, Wang De nodded in agreement. After all, he couldn't refuse to pay his respects to the queen.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Li Shen secretly laughed in his heart. Isn't it easy for a person from later generations like Li Shen to use this method of moral kidnapping?

These are things that are everywhere in later generations. Everyone, from the age of ninety-nine to the age when they can just walk, from those who use a stick to the sensible people, and regardless of whether they can read or not, can do it.

After Li Shen agreed, he walked straight in when he passed by Lizheng Hall.

Wang De was afraid that Li Shen would not come out, so he followed him in.

When he saw Empress Changsun, Li Shen was particularly cordial and hurried forward to pay his respects.

"My son is here to see you, mother. How is your health lately?"

"Shen'er is here, come and sit down, I'm fine, Shen'er missed you."

Empress Changsun was also very happy to see Li Shen. This son was filial and could make her happy.

Much better than her own children.

"Mother, I see that you are getting better and better, and your temperament is unique. Time has not only not diminished your beauty, but has made you even more charming and attractive.

She is more beautiful than the new beauties in the harem."

“Cough~~Cough~~”

As soon as Li Shen finished speaking, Wang De, who was standing nearby, was choked by his own spit and started coughing non-stop.

"Old Wang, you are sick. Stay away from us. If you spread the disease, please don't let us know."

Seeing Wang De ruining the atmosphere, Li Shen said unhappily.

"It's the old slave's fault, it's the old slave's fault."

Wang De quickly took a few steps back.

I thought to myself, Prince Ji speaks so frivolously and bluntly that it makes people feel sick just listening to him.

He didn't even know there was a word called corny.

Empress Changsun felt that Li Shen was a bit frivolous. How could a son say that about his mother?

But women like to be praised for their beauty.

"Haha, Shen'er, mother is old now. It's not like what you said."

He said this, but his face was full of smiles.

Li Shen's face suddenly straightened.

"Eh? How can you say that, mother? How can you be old? In my opinion, you are not old at all. You are no different from those beautiful women in their twenties.

A mother is like a peony flower, affectionate, rich, beautiful, graceful, well-educated, elegant, and exuding a kind of experienced beauty deep in her heart.

This is something that the new concubines cannot compare to.

This makes the mother look calm and unhurried, reserved yet bold, confident and dignified, noble and elegant. With the tempering of time, she has become more mature and capable, and her beauty is irresistible! "

It was quiet, extremely quiet; even a pin drop could be heard in the hall.

Everyone looked at Li Shen.

Wang De felt goosebumps all over his body and shivered involuntarily.

Is Prince Ji crazy? How dare he speak to the Queen like this?

Even if you are praising someone, you can't say it so bluntly.

Wang De tried hard to remember every word Li Shen said in his heart. He even wanted to take a small notebook to write it down and then tell it to His Majesty.

Let Your Majesty say the same thing to the concubines in the future.

Seeing Empress Changsun looking at him, Li Shen thought to himself that something was wrong and wondered if he had used too much energy.

Just now I was just busy flattering him and used all the words I knew.

The result was not as good as I imagined.

After a long time, Empress Changsun came back to her senses and looked at Li Shen and asked tentatively:

"Shen'er, tell your mother the truth, have you gotten into trouble again? And this time the trouble is quite serious."

"......"

This time it was Li Shen's turn to be speechless. Is his image in the harem so bad now?

In the past, his father and mother always suspected him, and now even this aunt did the same.

I haven't been doing well these years. It's a pity that I still go to the palace frequently and give gifts to these people. Aren't these gifts given in vain?

"Mother, I have never done anything wrong. I only speak from the bottom of my heart."

Li Shen looked at Empress Changsun with a wronged look on his face.

"Haha, mother is not as good as you say. You just know how to make her happy."

When Empress Changsun heard Li Shen say that he had not caused any trouble, she smiled happily.

No matter what, Li Shen’s words just now still made her very happy.

"I'm not trying to make you happy. I'm telling you the truth. You haven't changed much since you were young."

Seeing that Empress Changsun was happy, Li Shen immediately started to flatter her again.

“Cough~~Cough~~”

Wang De was watching the scene from the side. It seemed that Prince Ji had no intention of meeting His Majesty.

He coughed twice to remind Li Shen that it was almost time.

Li Shen had no plan to go to the Dragon Temple, so he would not pay any attention to Wang De.

“Cough~~Cough~~”

Wang De could only continue to cough lightly.

"Old Wang, can you please stand further away? If you are sick, go see a doctor immediately, and don't infect us with the disease."

Li Shen turned around and said to Wang De unhappily.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, we..."

"What? You care about what I say to my mother? Don't you see how loving and filial this mother is to her son?

What else could be more important than my filial duty?"

Li Shen looked at Wang De with resentment on his face.

"I dare not. But..."

"Hmph, it's just that nothing is more important than the chat between the prince and mother."

Li Shen snorted, turned around and continued chatting with Empress Changsun.

Empress Changsun was in a good mood after being praised by Li Shen, and started chatting with Li Shen.

Li Shen tried his best to talk to Empress Changsun about topics that women were interested in, such as clothes, jewelry, and rouge and powder.

Li Shen's boutiques are all involved, and if there are any rare items, Wang Hongfu will naturally send them to the palace first.

Let Princess Ji choose first. Only if Princess Ji and several concubines don’t want them will they be put up for sale in the boutique pavilion.

Although Li Shen didn't understand everything, he knew a little bit. If someone said something precious, Li Shen would guarantee to deliver it the next day.

In the blink of an eye, he became a friend of women.

It was such a joy to chat with Empress Changsun.

But Wang De had a worried look on his face.

(Happy Ghost Festival.

Go out less at night.
