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

Li Shimin smiled smugly:

"This was brought here by my own people today."

"Moved here? Where did it come from?" Li Shen suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Li Shimin's smile widened even more.

"Of course, it was moved from the Prince Ji's residence."

"What? It was moved from my place?" Li Shen almost jumped up. He was wondering why it looked so familiar.

Why didn't I know?

Li Shen was a little puzzled. He hadn't heard of anyone coming to the Prince's Mansion to install a glass room when he arrived in the morning.

"If you knew, would you still let him move here?" Li Shimin asked Li Shen.

"Of course not." Li Shen shook his head vigorously.

"Hmph, if that's the case, why should I ask you?" Li Shimin snorted and mocked.

"But those are my things. As the saying goes, taking something without asking is theft."

"Hmm? Why?"

As soon as Li Shen finished speaking, Li Shimin frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"It's for...it's for taking," Li Shen quickly corrected himself.

"Well, since it's about taking things, it's only natural for me to take my own son's things." Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction.

“Father, I have already left the palace and started my own household. My things should belong to me.”

Moreover, Father brought such valuable items; if this glass shop were to be sold, it would fetch at least 100,000 strings of cash.

Li Shen knocked on the glass twice, arguing his case forcefully. "If they dare to take my glass room today, they'll dare to enter my warehouse tomorrow."

This door must not be opened.

"Have you forgotten that you promised me that day that you would replace the glass in several palaces in the harem?"

But so much time has passed, and you haven't made a move.

Besides, I wanted this glass room for your mother and concubine. Doctor Sun wants them to come out more often, get some sunshine, and absorb more yang energy.

Why are you unwilling to do anything for your mother and mother-in-law?

Li Shimin originally wanted to find another reason, but he quickly changed the subject and connected the matter with the Empress and Li Shen's mother.

This was also a reason that Li Shimin suddenly found in a flash of inspiration.

"Did Dr. Sun really say this?"

Sure enough, upon hearing that it was for his mother's sake, Li Shen's attitude changed, and he looked at his father with suspicion.

"You scoundrel, would I lie to you for the sake of this Liuli Workshop?"

"It's not that I don't have one either, but your glass room is much larger than mine. I thought it would be nice for your mother and your concubine to stay together, so they could chat and pass the time."

Li Shimin's face showed anger, but in his heart he cheered for himself, thinking that the reason he had found was too powerful.

They immediately grasped Li Shen's weakness: Li Shen was filial, and even if he disregarded the Empress, he would not abandon his birth mother.

He granted Consort Wei's every request without any hesitation.

Li Shen's face showed a complicated expression. He was not reluctant at all for his mother's sake, but he felt a little uncomfortable because his father had tricked him.

"Fine, if you're unwilling, then forget it. The glass room in the Lizheng Hall is barely usable, and I won't take advantage of you."

Someone come...”

After saying this, Li Shimin called out to the outside. Immediately, a eunuch entered.

"Gather the men and prepare to send them back to His Highness Prince Ji."

"Wait a minute!"

Hearing this, Li Shenming knew that his father, the emperor, was playing hard to get, but he still had to endure it.

It's really good for the elderly to bask in the sun. This palace is dark and damp, and now that it's freezing cold, almost everyone, from the emperor to the common people, is staying home to hibernate.

My own mother is no exception. It's warm inside, but she can't stay inside all the time. Even if she's wearing a lot of clothes, she still risks catching a cold if she goes out for a walk.

If we had this glass room, we could sunbathe outside.

Li Shen's glass room, after renovation, is several tens of square meters in size, and importantly, it can also be used to light a stove.

At the very edge, there's a piece that's not glass, but an iron plate with a hole cut out so that the furnace tube can be inserted through it.

Although there are gaps around it, they are just enough to allow for ventilation and prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.

The stove was lit, and it was warm and cozy inside.

The reason it was built so big is because he has many children, and all four of them play on the ground, so there's not enough space for them to crawl around.

Li Shimin brought it back because of its great talent.

All eyes turned to Li Shen, who looked at his father and then gently stroked the glass, as if saying goodbye.

With a final, resolute turn, he refused to look at the glass anymore.

"No need, just leave it here. Let it serve my mother and mother-in-law, and protect them from the wind and rain."

At that moment, Li Shen made a momentous decision and burst into tears.

"Haha, since His Highness Prince Ji has agreed, you may all leave."

No one paid any attention to Li Shen's performance. Li Shimin even laughed heartily and waved to the maid who came in.

This is the feeling of victory, the joy of victory.

He had been away from the battlefield for decades and hadn't felt this way in a long time.

"Tenth brother is indeed filial; why don't you give some to your elder brother too..."

"roll."

Li Chengqian tried to seize the opportunity, but was met with a glare from Li Shen and retreated dejectedly.

Having lost his wealth, Li Shen's fighting prowess has reached its peak, and he could launch an attack at any moment.

Li Shimin was even happier upon seeing this:

"Your Highness, are you feeling a little heartbroken?"

Damn, Li Shen suddenly felt that his father's current state was so familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. There was a slightly smug feeling about him, and he really wanted to go up and beat him up.

Of course, Li could never do something like patricide.

Taking a deep breath and closing his eyes, Li Shen suddenly assumed the same pose he had used to become an immortal, muttering incantations:

"The mind should be calm and still, focusing solely on one's own spirit; mind and spirit united, breath flowing smoothly, seemingly in harmony; unperturbed by any change, without delusion or anger, without desire or seeking, without abandoning or forsaking, without action or ego..."

"Seriously? They're doing this again!"

Seeing Li Shen's expression, Li Tai couldn't help but speak up.

Li Zhi frowned as well: "Playing tricks."

Li Shimin was also surprised by Li Shen's sudden move and turned to Li Chengqian with a puzzled look, asking:

Was he reciting a calming mantra?

Li Chengqian thought for a moment and nodded:

"Seems to be."

"Hoo~~~" Li Shen exhaled a breath of stale air. He only knew a few phrases like that. It was only because Sun Simiao wanted him to abstain from sex and cultivate his health that he also gave him a book of calming mantras to read.

As a result, Li Shen remembered these few sentences because he thought they looked impressive.

"Tenth brother, what's this all about...?" Li Chengqian asked tentatively.

"It's alright. Money is just an external thing. You can't take it with you when you die. As our ancestors said, money is just dirt."

Li Shen waved his hand casually.

"It would be best if my tenth brother could come to his senses." Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief; he was genuinely afraid that Li Shen would fight with his father.
