Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

"Mother, it is only natural for a man to be filial to his mother. Mother, don't worry about it."

Lu Dingniang bowed and said. She was the legal wife, the Princess Ji appointed by the Emperor and Empress, and her status and position were the same as Li Shen's.

As a daughter-in-law, it is natural to respect your parents-in-law. This is etiquette.

"Don't worry, mother. There are three in total. The remaining one is given to Ding Niang. Please accept it."

Li Shen also nodded.

When he heard that there were three, Li Shimin's eyelids twitched twice, but he finally held it back. He couldn't fight with his daughter-in-law for things.

"See? That's why."

Li Chengqian on the side turned to look at Li Zhi and said in a low voice.

Didn't you just question why your mother liked Li Shen so much? You also said that Li Shen only knew how to flatter his mother.

Now you see, that's why.

If they had such rare treasures, who would be willing to give them away?

The gem in their mother's hand made not only their mother but also he feel excited.

“The SeSe gemstone is produced in the Western Regions and is called the Tears of God by the people of the Western Regions. It is a rare treasure, especially this kind of top-grade gemstone is rare in the world.

"Old Ten is really willing to part with it," Li Tai said leisurely, looking at the gem in Empress Changsun's hand.

He has read thousands of books and is knowledgeable, and his knowledge is recorded in many miscellaneous books.

For the nobles of Chang'an, it was a treasure to have a piece of it, and now this piece is the best.

"Humph, isn't it just a little bit of dirty money? It's just some tricks and gimmicks."

Li Zhi snorted coldly and watched coldly. If he had something like this, he would also give it to his mother.

Li Shen took out the second box at this moment, and when he opened it, he saw a huge piece of white crystal, crystal clear and flawless.

"Mother, this is a piece of Indian crystal that I found by chance. It reflects the sun and creates rainbows, and absorbs dewdrops and turns into pearls. I know that you chant the Buddha's name every day.

You can ask a skilled craftsman to make it into eighteen beads and wrap it around your wrist, the clear sound will be like the chanting of Sanskrit."

It is no secret that Empress Changsun was a Buddhist. The Changsun family has been Buddhists for generations, otherwise they would not have named Empress Changsun Guanyinbi.

Li Shen also catered to his taste. Tianzhu was originally a holy land of Buddhism. The crystals from there were made into eighteen beads and worn on the hands.

The clear sound is like the sound of Sanskrit.

Sure enough, after hearing Li Shen's words, Empress Changsun became even happier, even happier than when she heard the gem.

"My son is very considerate. This crystal is so huge. I will have the palace craftsmen make two bracelets and give one to your mother."

Empress Changsun naturally understood the ways of the world, and she could not keep all the things given to her by her son to herself.

Otherwise people will laugh at you.

Li Shen could have given these treasures to Concubine Wei privately, but he gave them to Empress Zhangsun instead because he knew that this aunt would not be stingy.

"Thank you, sister." Concubine Wei bowed to express her gratitude.

"Thank you, mother." Li Shen followed suit. This was what he wanted to see. This crystal was more than enough to make two bracelets.

Li Shen took out the third box and opened it, revealing a set of jewelry.

This is the set given by the new king of Kucha. This set of jewelry is not very precious to Li Shen. Although Kucha is good at gold and silver products, it is still a little inferior to Li Shen’s Ji Wang Mansion.

In particular, some of Li Shen’s novel design concepts are unique.

So Li Shen felt that this set of jewelry was of little use, and Lu Dingniang's jewelry was better than this, so it would be better to take it out to please the aunt.

"Mother, this is jewelry made in Kucha. Kucha is famous for its gold and silver jewelry, and its reputation is known throughout the Western Regions.

This set of jewelry came from the royal family of the Kingdom of Kucha, and was bought from the King of Kucha at a high price.

Specially dedicated to my mother."

Good things do not need introduction, but ordinary things need to be embellished. Add a story to the fifth grade to show its nobility.

Just like gold, everyone knows it is valuable, no one needs to tell it, but some things must have a story to be able to be sold like gold.

For example, Li Shen’s tea is worth one tael of gold, because of Li Shen’s 81 steps and 56 hours of work.

Looking at the set of jewelry in the box, Empress Changsun couldn't put it down. The craftsmanship, style and materials were all of high quality, on par with those made by skilled craftsmen in the palace.

Especially the style has an exotic feel, which is beyond the reach of the craftsmen in the palace.

"Alas, Shen'er, you are so attentive every time you come back. How do you expect your mother to reward you?"

Empress Changsun sighed. She was also a little worried. If it were any other child, she could just reward them with some treasures.

But Li Shen is different. The things people give him are the best of the best, so he can't afford to give them ordinary things as rewards.

But if I don’t reward her, I would feel ashamed as a mother.

"Mother, how can you say that? I give you these things out of filial piety, not for any reward.

Although these are precious, they are just a pile of ordinary things in my heart. How can they compare with my filial piety? "

Li Shen had a serious expression on his face.

“Mother knows that I am a filial son, but even so, I cannot always accept such a generous gift from you.

Jiro, you said...”

As Empress Changsun spoke, she turned around and looked at Li Shimin. She wanted to ask Li Shimin if he had any reward.

But when he turned around, he saw that Li Shimin's face looked a little unhappy.

At this moment, Li Shimin was shouting in his heart, it was like this again, and like this again, every gift had nothing to do with him.

When he saw Li Shen’s last box open wide, he knew that this time would be the same.

Those crystals, those gems, and these gold and silver jewelry have nothing to do with me.

"Erlang, tell me how to reward Shen'er." Empress Changsun called out.

"He said it all, it's what he should do. As a son, it's only natural to respect his parents. What's there to reward him for?"

Li Shimin said with a cold face.

Empress Changsun was helpless, as she could see that her husband was blaming Li Shen for not bringing him a gift.

She didn't know why Li Shen never brought gifts to his father. Even an ordinary thing could make His Majesty happy.

This child is deliberately trying to make Your Majesty angry.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, please leave. I'm a little tired." Without waiting for Li Shen to speak, Li Shimin ordered his sons to leave.

I was in a good mood, but Li Shen made me a little unhappy.

Li Shen ignored him and limped away after paying respects with Li Chengqian and the others.

On the way out of the palace, the four brothers walked side by side.

"Old Ten, you're always so generous, outshining all of us brothers."

Li Tai said with a smile.

After hearing this, Li Zhi looked at Li Shen coldly.

"Hahaha, Fourth Brother, you're joking. They're all external things. As long as Mother is happy, it doesn't matter."

Li Shen laughed and thought to himself, I am just trying to squeeze you, otherwise why would I send you gifts.
