Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Seeing Xixi swallow the pastry in her mouth, Empress Changsun finally felt relieved and tapped Xixi's little head with her finger.

At this time, Yangyang pulled Li Yinyu and Li Wei closer.

"Grandson greets grandpa and grandma."

Yangyang bowed deeply, and Li Yinyu and Li Wei beside him followed their elder brother's example and bowed as well.

"Okay, come here and let me take a look." Li Shimin nodded and waved to him.

Yangyang stepped forward and came close to Li Shimin. He was gentle and elegant. Although he was only six years old, he was very steady and had the mature demeanor of a young man.

"Good. How's your study?" Li Shimin praised.

"Grandfather, the instructor's lesson has been completed." Yangyang replied politely.

Li Shimin also often saw Yangyang. Every time Xixi came to the palace, Yangyang would follow her, mainly to keep an eye on Xixi and prevent her from causing trouble.

Most of the time, when entering the palace, they were escorted to the palace gate by the guards of Prince Ji's Mansion. The two little ones entered the palace by themselves. Sometimes they would stay at Concubine Wei's place in the evening, and sometimes they would be taken back to the prince's mansion by the guards when leaving the palace at night.

With the addition of the two little ones, the palace was no longer deserted.

Especially when Xixi is around, he is simply a replica of Li Shen, quirky and never idle for a moment.

There was laughter and joy throughout the palace, but of course, people often got into trouble, either breaking Li Shimin's favorite vase or stealing some of Li Shimin's treasures.

This made Li Shimin have to guard against her just like he was guarding against Li Shen.

But Yangyang is different. He is calm and quiet. He does whatever you ask him to do and never objects.

If the two children were not twins, some people would suspect whether they were Li Shen's children.

“Well, you should read more. Don’t learn from your father. He has read so little that he doesn’t know anything. No one can even recognize how to write.

In a few years, I will ask your father to send you to the Imperial College. There are many great scholars there who can teach you a lot."

Li Shimin said calmly. Looking at Yangyang, he suddenly thought how great it would be if that rebellious son was like the grandson in front of him.

Being capable, steady, and not causing trouble will save you a lot of worry.

"Yes, Aung, where's Aye?"

Before Yangyang could reply, Xixi heard her father's name and immediately started looking for him privately. She heard that her father had returned.

But he left without seeing anyone.

"Your father is kneeling in the ancestral temple."

Li Shimin didn't care about Li Shen's face at all and said it directly in front of the child.

"Kneeling?" Xixi stared at him with her big, watery eyes, blinking repeatedly. Suddenly she said:

"Aye got into trouble again?"

The cute look makes people laugh and cry.

"Hahaha, yes, your father has caused trouble again. You should take this as a warning, or else you will be made to kneel in the ancestral temple."

Li Shimin laughed out loud. The word "again" was used very well. He really should let that rebellious son hear it. Even his own daughter knew that he often got into trouble.

Empress Zhangsun also loved the child very much. This child was so lovable. I don’t know where the child heard this sentence from.

In fact, Xixi was able to say this because she often went to the palace to listen to Li Shimin say that his father was in trouble again and again.

The child remembered this and knew that his father loved to get into trouble and would be punished if he did.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Ji has arrived." Wang Xing walked in to report.

"Let him come in." The smile on Li Shimin's face, which was just full of smiles, disappeared and turned into a serious face.

After a while, Li Shen was brought in, still limping:

"Hello, Father." Li Shen bowed to Li Shimin.

"Hmph." Li Shimin snorted coldly.

Li Shen ignored him and said, "If you ignore me, I will ignore you too."

He came before Empress Changsun again and knelt down with a thud to everyone's surprise.

A head hits the ground:

"My son greets mother. Mother, I am back. I have not been able to serve you these days and have caused you constant worry. I am unfilial. Please punish me."

Crawling on the ground, Li Shen's voice was trembling and choked with sobs, which moved people.

Empress Zhangsun put Xixi down and came to Li Shen. With tears in her eyes, she helped Li Shen up:

"My son, please get up quickly and let your mother see you."

Li Shen raised his head but did not stand up. If he stood up, he would be much taller than Empress Changsun, and making the Empress look up at him would not be conducive to his performance.

He just knelt straight, looking up at Empress Changsun with tears in his eyes.

"My son has become thinner and darker. You have suffered a lot on this trip to Xizhou, Shen'er." Empress Changsun peeled off the hair on Li Shen's forehead and said with heartache as she looked at Li Shen's face.

"I serve the court and help you share your worries. It's not hard at all." Li Shen shook his head.

"Hmph, why don't you tell me how much you earned in Xizhou?" Li Shimin interrupted.

But now the scene of loving mother and filial son did not take his words seriously at all.

"Mother, you've lost weight too. Did I stop taking the medicine again? Before I left, I had already instructed Wang Hongfu to purchase the herbs and send them to the palace on time. Didn't he send them?

I will beat him to death when I get back."

Li Shen asked with concern.

“Haha, I haven’t stopped taking the medicine, but please don’t hurt people’s lives at every turn.

My mother lost weight because Dr. Sun told me to move around more."

Empress Changsun chuckled twice and explained.

Li Shen was then pulled up, and Li Shen bowed to his mother, Concubine Wei. Concubine Wei was not as enthusiastic as Empress Changsun.

It’s enough to have someone care about your son. Now that Li Shen is back, there are plenty of opportunities for them to be alone together.

Finally, it was the prince's turn. Li Shen glared at Li Chengqian fiercely, then symbolically cupped his hands and said unhappily:

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian gave a bitter smile, blaming himself for not pleading for him just now.

"Gao Ming, since everyone is here, you should also send someone to fetch Su and the child."

Li Shimin told Li Chengqian that when people get older, they like the happiness of having many children and grandchildren.

This is what it means to enjoy your old age in peace and enjoy the company of your children.

Who says that the royal family has no family affection? Isn’t there family affection?

"Erlang, why don't you call Qingque and Zhinu as well? It will be more lively with more people." Empress Changsun said immediately.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Shen, then nodded and said:

"Then call them all: Chengyang, Sizi, Hengshan, Li Fu, and Li Ming."

"Little Thirteen? Didn't I hear that Little Thirteen was appointed as the governor of Liangzhou? Didn't he go to his fiefdom?"

Hearing Li Fu, Li Shen was a little confused. Although he went to Xizhou, he did not know everything. The Chief Secretary Wang Xuance often told him some useless political affairs.

Prince Zhao Li Fu was adopted by Li Jiancheng. He was first appointed as the governor of Zhaozhou and later transferred to be the governor of Qinzhou, which was a promotion.

But he has always been in charge remotely and has never been to his fiefdom. This year he was appointed as the governor of Liangzhou, in charge of four states, and he will soon be going to his fiefdom.
