Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

The reason Li Shen gave was not very sufficient, but his tone was very firm. He just didn't allow you two to visit.

Seeing this, the two looked at Li Shimin, asking for his opinion.

Li Shimin looked at Li Shen and pondered for a moment before saying:

"Since Lao Shi said that we can't meet him, then you should just wait. Anyway, the Tibetan king can't leave Chang'an.

There's still a long way to go. When his condition improves, you can go and see him again. There's no need to rush."

"Yes."

Hearing what Li Shimin said, Li Tai and Li Zhi nodded in obedience, but there was a hint of confusion and worry in their eyes.

"Well, if you have nothing else to do, you can all go. This year, we will still have New Year's Eve dinner in the palace. Bring all my grandchildren with you."

The matter was almost discussed, and Li Shimin waved to everyone.

"Aren't we waiting for dinner?" Li Shen asked with wide eyes.

He thought they were chatting here while waiting for dinner.

"You bastard, is there no food in your Prince Ji's mansion? Can't you just have a meal?" Li Shimin was almost angry to death.

Others would be grateful and consider it an honor to have a meal in the palace, but this guy came to the palace to eat like a beggar, and he brought his whole family with him.

"Don't you want to spend more time with me, mother? I haven't seen you for so long, and I miss you so much in Xizhou."

Li Shen instantly turned into a good boy.

"Haha, Shen'er is filial. Erlang, why don't they have dinner here?"

Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin with a smile.

Li Shimin shook his head:

"No, the palace is not well off. Let them go back to their own homes and eat. There was a severe drought in Guanzhong this year, and the imperial farms had no harvest."

"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat." Hearing Li Shimin's refusal, no one else dared to speak, except Li Shen, who muttered and stood up.

"You dare to talk back?" Li Shimin also stood up.

The father and son started glaring at each other again.

After what happened just now, the others were no longer surprised.

Empress Changsun looked at Li Shen:

"Shen'er, your mother and I made a cotton-padded jacket for you. You are weak, so don't catch a cold."

After saying this, Empress Changsun waved her hand behind her, and a maid immediately came over carrying a folded piece of clothing.

"Thank you, mother." Li Shen saluted.

"Come and try it on to see if it fits you." Empress Changsun said with a smile.

"It fits, of course it fits. This dress is made for me." Li Shen nodded immediately.

"Hehehe, you kid."

Empress Changsun was amused by Li Shen and tapped his head, saying, "This son is so good and especially good at talking."

Seeing this heartwarming scene, the three biological sons Li Chengqian and Li Tai felt uncomfortable. Their mother made clothes for others but did not mention them at all.

"Brother, did mother make clothes for you?"

Li Tai asked in a low voice beside Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian shook his head. Not to mention clothes, he didn't even have a cloak. He had been treated like this before.

But since Li Shen's rise, he has fallen out of favor.

"Hmph, he only knows how to flatter and is good for nothing." Li Zhi snorted.

If a person hates someone, he will magnify the other person's shortcomings. Li Zhi now thinks that everything Li Shen does is wrong.

"You can't say that. Mother loves my tenth brother so much, and my tenth brother is filial. Let's ask ourselves honestly, can we compare to my tenth brother?

It seems the three of us need to reflect on ourselves." Li Chengqian shook his head.

"He can just say a few nice words, what else can he do?" Li Zhi said disdainfully.

Li Chengqian glanced at Li Zhi and said nothing.

At this time, Li Shen took the clothes and saluted Empress Changsun, but suddenly he thought of something and walked to the platform and shouted to the people below:

"Stone, stone."

"I'm here." Shi Tou responded immediately.

"Have someone bring the things up." Li Shen shouted again.

"Shen'er, what are you doing..." Empress Changsun was a little puzzled when she saw this.

"Haha, mother, I brought back some specialties from the Western Regions. I wanted to give them to you, but I forgot about them after dinner."

Li Shen smiled lightly.

"You child, you are so wasteful again." Empress Changsun was very happy. Li Shen missed her very much and would bring her some rare treasures every time he went out.

Everyone else was also curious about what Li Shen would give to the queen this time. The concubines were all in the glass room.

Li Shimin didn't say anything. He knew it was time for the treasure-presenting program every time he came back. This had become a must-do program for Li Shen's return.

Although this unreliable son is unreliable, he always brings back some rare treasures.

Soon, Shitou came up with Chunxiang and Dongmei. Li Shen handed the cotton coat to Shitou, and then took a wooden box from him.

"Mother, this is the SeSe gemstone I brought back from Kucha specifically for you and your mother."

As he spoke, Li Shen opened the box, and inside were two gemstones, one dark blue and one light blue.

The two gems are as deep as the sea of ​​stars, crystal clear and without any flaws.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by the gems, as if they had magic power that could trap people.

Li Shen took out two gems and handed them to Empress Zhangsun and Concubine Wei.

"My son is thoughtful." Holding the dark blue gem, Empress Changsun smiled happily.

She didn't look at the quality of the gem, as long as it was a gift from Li Shen, it would definitely not be too bad.

Her son might not be good at anything else, but when it comes to being greedy for pleasure, he is the best in the Tang Dynasty, no one can match him.

If he says something is good, then it must be good.

Li Shimin was attracted and came to Empress Changsun. He reached out and took Empress Changsun's gem to examine it carefully, and then held it in his eyes.

I sighed in my heart, wondering how this unfilial son could be so lucky. He could come across all kinds of top-quality treasures. I offered tribute every year, but I couldn't find such a good gem.

At this moment, he was more convinced of the need to destroy Kucha. Since such a good thing was not given to him, it was right to destroy Kucha.

"Mother, this gem inlaid on the phoenix crown can further highlight your noble temperament."

Li Shen said attentively.

He got three of these Sese gems, two for his two mothers, and one for Lu Dingniang.

Lu Dingniang was a princess, so naturally she also had a headdress, which was perfect for the inlay.

He has been away from home for so long, and his wife has been running the household business. How can Li Shen not give her some compensation?

"You are really generous." Li Shimin returned the gem to Empress Zhangsun and glanced at the box in Chunxiang Dongmei's hands.

"Look at what Aye said. What a son gives to his mother must be the best. How can ordinary things be worthy of a mother's status?"

Li Shen said seriously.

"My son is filial. Mother knows this. Such a valuable thing should be left to Dingniang in the future."

Empress Changsun looked at Lu Dingniang with a smile.

Lu Dingniang came over immediately.
