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

Empress Changsun and Concubine Wei were eating sea cucumbers and chatting as if no one was around.

Concubine Wei taught Empress Changsun the method of eating sea cucumber shared by Li Shen, and Empress Changsun nodded repeatedly after listening.

She also told her personal maid behind her to remember them and try them all out when she returned.

But Li Shimin, who was watching the show on the side, felt more and more uncomfortable the more he listened.

So he couldn't help but ask Empress Changsun:

"Guanyinbi, why do you have sea rats there too?"

"Yes, Erlang can come to my place for dinner tomorrow." Empress Changsun nodded.

"Since it is given to you by my beloved concubine to replenish your body, I will not eat it. There is not much in a box. You two can eat it."

Seeing Empress Changsun nod, Li Shimin guessed that it must have been sent by Concubine Wei.

But Empress Changsun gently raised her head:

"Don't worry, Erlang. The sea cucumbers I have are not sent by my sister, but by Shen'er. There is also a box with fifty or sixty of them. One a day is enough for more than two months.

Alas, Shen'er is so filial to me as if I were his own mother, that he even gives me a share of such a rare thing.

The box is covered with ice, probably because they are afraid that the food will not be fresh enough when it arrives in Chang'an. You can imagine how much manpower and resources were consumed.

In terms of filial piety, Shen Er is the only one among his children, and Gao Ming is not as good as him."

Empress Chang Sun was truly moved, and she sent a large box of sea cucumbers, cooled with ice, back to Chang'an at full speed.

You can't stop in the middle, otherwise it will melt.

You can imagine how difficult the journey is, and one needs to change horses and people at each stop.

People and horses can rest, but the goods cannot stop.

That’s Liaodong Road.

Concubine Wei was delighted to see Empress Changsun praising her son, but she said:

"Sister, please don't say that. Shen'er is your son. There is no question of whether we are related or not.

He is my biological son, and it is only natural for him to respect me. If he is unfilial and violates filial piety, I will break his legs myself."

"Bang!" As soon as Concubine Wei finished speaking, a bang was heard, which scared Empress Changsun and Concubine Wei.

Li Shimin slammed the table heavily and stood up suddenly.

"Erlang, what are you doing..." Empress Changsun raised her head and looked at Li Shimin in confusion, not knowing why Li Shimin suddenly got angry.

At this moment, Li Shimin frowned and looked angry.

"You are just a sea rat, and you dare to compete with ginseng? You are overestimating yourself. Humph, I won't drink anymore."

With a snort, Li Shimin turned and walked into the house, and then Li Shimin's angry shout was heard:

"Wang De, go break that rebellious son's legs."

"Your Majesty, it's already night, there's a curfew, and the Imperial City is closed. Why not talk about it tomorrow?"

"No, the imperial city is closed. Can't you climb over the wall?"

"But His Royal Highness Prince Ji is outside the city, and the city gates are closed."

"Asshole, then you have to climb over the wall and break that rebellious son's legs today."

Listening to the conversation between Li Shimin and Wang De in the room, Empress Changsun and Concubine Wei looked at each other, and then they suddenly covered their mouths and started laughing at the same time.

Concubine Wei was still not reserved. After all, she was the emperor and could not laugh out loud. But Empress Zhangsun was more bold.

Although she covered her mouth and tried not to laugh out loud, she still couldn't help giggling, and her laughter was getting louder and louder.

Unable to hold it in, she had to cover her mouth with her hands to prevent herself from making any sound. Empress Changsun felt very uncomfortable.

The two of them were shaking constantly.

When Li Shimin heard the voice, he realized that he had just lost his composure and was heard by his two virtuous wives.

I felt so embarrassed and thought, it’s over, I’ve really lost face this time.

Then he became even angrier at his unfilial son. It was all that bastard's fault. If it weren't for him, why would he be so angry?

I was just feeling jealous because Li Shen was so nice to Concubine Wei that he even specially got a box of sea mice.

But later it was discovered that he was the only one among the three who had nothing, and Empress Changsun also had a box.

Li Shen has been giving gifts for more than ten years, and the pattern is still the same as before.

This is what is worrying, not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth. They are all parents, so why do I have none? Am I not the biological father?

If we really talk about relationship, the Queen is not his biological father, but he is his biological father.

"You bastard." Li Shimin couldn't help cursing again. He picked up the teacup and was about to throw it.

Wang De hurried forward to stop him.

"Oh, Your Majesty, this is a tribute porcelain from Yue Kiln. It is a set and very precious."

"Your Majesty, this one won't do either. This is a colored glass cup from Prince Ji's Palace. There is only one in the entire Tang Dynasty. It is more valuable than the tribute."

"This is a priceless carving of top-quality white jade from the Western Regions."

"Ouch, this..."

Li Shimin picked up one and Wang De introduced its origin. They were all rare treasures in the world.

Li Shimin raised it high and then put it down gently. After looking around, he found that the least valuable thing was a Xing kiln white porcelain tray filled with fruits.

Although this is also a tribute, it is much cheaper than others.

"Bang!" Li Shimin finally smashed the fruit tray, and he finally found a place to vent his emotions.

"Ji Lang, why are you so angry?"

Empress Changsun walked in and asked knowingly.

And there was an unconcealable smile on his face.

"Hmph! I feel depressed." Li Shimin snorted.

"Haha, could it be that Shen'er has offended Erlang? But Shen'er has always been very well-behaved, although he can be a little impulsive sometimes.

But Shen'er is young and frivolous, so Erlang should teach him slowly.

Besides, Shen Er has always been very sensible in what he does."

Looking at her angry husband, Empress Changsun tried to persuade him with a smile.

It would have been better if Empress Changsun had not advised him. After Empress Changsun’s advice, Li Shimin was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Looking at his wife of many years, Li Shimin felt a little resentful. It was just a box of sea rats. Was it necessary to confuse right and wrong?

How could a mother of a country be so easily broken down by that rebellious son? And she was always so well-behaved?

"Guanyin, listen to what you are saying. When has that rebellious child ever been well behaved?

If you were to say this about other princes, even Li Yin, I would not think it is an exaggeration.

But when it comes to that rebellious son, I feel that it is an insult to the word "well-behaved."

Li Shimin really couldn't help but complain.

Empress Changsun didn't care.

"How can Erlang say that about Shen'er? Could it be that Shen'er really has made His Majesty angry?"

"Angry? I'm not angry. Humph, what should I be angry about? It's just the sea...

Isn’t it just because he got into trouble again?

This rebellious son actually mobilized thousands of troops from the Imperial Guard Camp without permission today. According to Tang law, he should be hanged.

This bastard, doesn't he know that before mobilizing the troops, one must first report to the Ministry of War?

The incident in Xizhou has just ended, and he has given others a handle for impeachment. How can I not be angry?

It is better for me to break his legs than to kill him."

Li Shimin finally made sense of himself and reconciled the conversation he had just had with Wang De.

(This plot is about my dad. I bought a down jacket for my mom during the Chinese New Year.

My dad was like this, always sarcastic, until I gave him the money.

Happy love to all those who have lovers, and soon it will be over for those who don’t.)
