Ji Tang

Chapter 973 Complain!

On this day, Li Shimin had nothing to do, so he came to the palace of Princess Wan in the harem to see his elders.Now that there are fewer and fewer people from the previous generation, Concubine Wan is one of the few concubines of Li Yuan left.

When Li Yuan was in power, Concubine Wan was in charge of the harem.

"Why does your Majesty have the leisure to come here today?"

Concubine Wan was very surprised. Although the emperor respected her very much, he would always invite her to a big banquet every time there was a festival. As for the reason, everyone knew it, and it was just for outsiders to see.

On weekdays, everyone was in peace with each other, so the Queen came more frequently. After all, the only one who could talk to the eldest grandson in the harem was Princess Wan.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he pardoned her as the concubine of Chu State. She had lived out of the palace for a while before, but in the end he took her back to serve her for unknown reasons.

"Meet the concubine!"

Li Shimin still didn't dare to be too casual in front of the concubine of Chu State. His reputation was bad enough. It would be great fun if he added someone disrespectful to the former concubine.

Concubine Wan was the father of Chu King Li Zhiyun, but after Li Yuan's uprising broke out, she was killed by the Yin Shishi who stayed in Chang'an, and the ancestral graves of the Li family were also destroyed.

The concubine of Chu State had no children, and it was impossible for Li Shimin to be afraid of an old lady.Therefore, the treatment that a concubine should have is not sloppy at all, and no one in the palace dares to be disrespectful to her.

"Emperor, get up quickly, come and serve tea to the Emperor!"

She called the maid and then smiled: "I have been eating fast and chanting Buddha's name all day long. It seems a little deserted here. Is the emperor still used to it?"

Li Shimin looked around and saw simple furniture. Although they were all specially made by the royal family, they seemed much empty. There was also a curl of green smoke from behind, which was obviously a statue of Buddha.

"Taifei, this is embarrassing me. Since my father left, I have only you as my real elder. If you have any requests, just tell Chen Shouna. You don't have to tell me everything."

After speaking, he said to Chen Shou who was standing aside: "In the future, you should come to the concubine more often. If you neglect the concubine, I will only ask you!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Chen Shou quickly agreed.

Even if the emperor didn't say this, he had never looked down upon the concubine of Chu State.He was really senior. He was a figure in the prime minister's harem back then, and he also had many relatives in the outer court. His father was the governor of Yangzhou back then. Although he is no longer an official now, his connections have not been cut off, and he can be regarded as a force in the court.

What's more, that bastard Ji Song also respected the Dowager Princess of Chu. When the Supreme Emperor was still there, that bastard had frequent interactions with the Supreme Emperor and his wife, and he even treated the Imperial Concubine with the courtesy of an elder.

If that bastard knew that someone dared to bully the concubine, he would probably be stabbed!
"Hey, what are you doing, emperor? I'm all alone now, what do you want? I just heard that you had a conflict with that girl Changsun?"

Facing Concubine Wan's question, Li Shimin's face turned red and he immediately glared at Chen Shou.

"Okay, you know everything you should know about this matter, and you can just pretend not to know anything you shouldn't know. Why are you trying to scare him?"

Concubine Wan said with emotion: "The most important thing between husband and wife is mutual respect. It's not like you don't know that, eldest grandson? What bad intentions do you have? Aren't you all devoted to you? You, just coax her as much as you can when you have time." ”

"Your father was like this back then, but he was good at coaxing people. Even if he was very angry, sometimes he couldn't get angry."

Suddenly, Concubine Wan seemed to realize something. She glanced at the emperor and said, "You see, it is easier for this person to remember when he is old. Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore!"

Li Shimin looked a little sad, but it quickly disappeared!
"Then I won't disturb your rest. If you are in a panic during the weekdays, ask Jiankang to take you out for a walk. But you must bring some bodyguards."

Li Shimin was not in the mood to talk at this time. Just when he was about to leave, he suddenly saw someone saying something in Chen Shou's ear.

"what happened?"

He was also curious, what could happen at this time?Now the old and new ministers in the court are fighting each other, and I am enjoying myself.Is there something big going on with me at this time?
Chen Shou glanced at Concubine Wan and said, "It's Duke Tan who is here, saying he comes to see Concubine Wan!"

"What? Ji Xiaoji is here? Come on, let him in. I haven't seen this guy for a while. Well, I still have some conscience. When the Supreme Emperor was here, he said that this guy is a good person and he has abilities. , must be the pillar of the Tang Dynasty."

She sighed: "How many years have passed since then, and the young man from that time has become the Duke of the Tang Dynasty?"

Seeing Concubine Wan being so happy, Li Shimin's face looked a little ugly, as if he was a child but an adult preferred the other, and he felt a little sour for a moment.

"Since he's here, let him in!"

People are here, can they be driven away?Seeing that the concubine looked really happy, he just followed her.

Ji Song felt a little nervous at this moment. He couldn't stand outside the door and leave, nor could he stay. Who the hell knew that the emperor was actually here? If he had known that he wouldn't come even to death.

Ever since he was beaten last time, he had been taking sick leave, saying he was recovering from his injuries, because he was worried that the emperor might find some reason to beat him if he saw him and remembered what happened that day.

"Please come in, Duke Xi! The concubine and your majesty are both inside!"

Looking at the expressionless Chen Shou, he felt that the eunuch was laughing at him?

Forget it, if a person dies, his eggs will fall into the sky, and he will not die for tens of millions of years, so he is a bird!
Ji Song gritted his teeth and walked in. When he was done, he didn't forget to kick Chen Shou.

"Our family is not done with you!"

Chen Shou is so angry, who did he provoke?This bastard does nothing good every time he sees him.But why don’t I get angry every time after it’s over?
Are you making a fool of yourself?He shook his head, smiled bitterly, and hurried in.

"Your Majesty, Jisong, pays homage to you. May your Majesty live forever!"

"Young man, I've met the Imperial Concubine. How are you doing these days?"

Li Shimin snorted and ignored him, but Concubine Wan quickly stood up and helped Ji Song up. After that, she complained: "You heartless person, it's a good thing that I and the Supreme Emperor treated you well back then. How long has it been since you last visited me?" "

He tapped Ji Song hard on the forehead and lost his temper.

"Hey, didn't I get beaten up some time ago? I've been beaten to the point where I'm too embarrassed to see anyone. How can I dare to come out to see you? If I scare you, then Your Majesty, why don't you take my skin off?"

"You think so? Your Majesty!"

Chen Shou's eyelids jumped, this bastard dared to complain in front of the concubine?

Hearing this, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Yes, if he scares the concubine, I will definitely beat him until his mother doesn't recognize him? Why don't we let him try?"

Ji Song's back felt cold, and he quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, who dares to touch your dragon power, then they don't want to live."

"What riddles are you two talking about? Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen to you? Speak up!"

Concubine Wan stared blankly, Ji Song quickly lowered his eyebrows, and Li Shimin stopped talking!

"I heard that your girl beat up Fu'er and Ming'er? I've seen that girl before, she's a very quiet girl, why did she do it again?"

Ji Song took a careful look at the emperor and saw that he didn't move. He immediately said: "Concubine, you don't know. That girl is filial. When she knew that her father was beaten, she went to find someone to avenge her. This No, I somehow accidentally injured them both."

"Don't worry, I have already taught that girl a hard lesson. The day before yesterday, I asked his mother to take him to apologize to them all. If you don't believe me, why don't you ask Your Majesty?" Li Shimin turned around and acted as if he didn't hear it. This bastard , sooner or later he will have to be beaten, remember to eat but not to beat.

Concubine Wan is such a shrewd person, otherwise she would not have been able to manage such a large harem in an orderly manner.

"You!"

He glared at Ji Song angrily, which made Ji Song smile and quickly served the tea.

"How old are you, and you are still fooling around every day? Should this spread out and make people laugh out loud?"

"Emperor, do you think this is true?"

With a dark face, Li Shimin could only say in a low voice: "The concubine said so!"

"Oh, right!"

Concubine Wan seemed to have thought of something and quickly asked Ji Song: "I heard that your concubine gave birth to a boy? When will you let me see it too?"

"It's nothing, but that boy is naughty, just don't be annoyed when the time comes!"

Ji Song's words made Concubine Wan Gui laugh. They talked for a while, and then Ji Song took out a jade bottle from his arms.

Under the surprised eyes of the emperor and Concubine Wan, he opened it and poured out a snow-white pill.

"This is."

Ji Song smiled and said, "This is a thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus that my family accidentally obtained. Some time ago, I had nothing to do, so I asked Taoist Sun and a few people from the academy who are proficient in medicine to make this pill."

"After research, it was found that it has the effects of removing freckles, moisturizing dryness, detoxifying and nourishing the skin. If taken for a long time, it also has the effect of rejuvenating the skin. This is a rare treasure!"

After Ji Song finished speaking, both Princess Wan and Li Shimin looked a little moved.

"But really?"

Ji Song glanced at the emperor and said: "Tianshan Snow Lotus is yin in nature and is most effective on women, not to mention the Millennium Snow Lotus?"

"what!"

Concubine Wan Gui was shocked and waved her hands quickly: "No, no, this thing is too valuable. Half of my body has been buried in the earth. What do you want with this thing?"

But Ji Song couldn't help but push the jade bottle to Concubine Wan, and said: "This bottle is made by the boy from Lantian jade. If you put the pills in it, as long as you keep it properly, the efficacy of the medicine will not be greatly reduced for at least ten years."

Finally, he said with a temper: "I don't have many elders, and you are one of them. Anyway, this thing is given to you, and it is your thing. What you want to do with it is your business, I don't care!"

"This"

Concubine Wan lost her temper because of Ji Song and had no choice but to look at the emperor.

"Since this boy is so filial, you can just keep it. Anyway, this boy has a lot of good things. Sometimes I feel jealous when I look at him. Don't give it in vain. It will save this boy from going out to seduce other girls from good families!"

Li Shimin's words were very insulting. Why do you want to seduce a girl from a good family?With his status, as long as the wind is released, women who want to join his Duke's palace can be arranged to go to Tongguan in the long run.

He rolled his eyes and pretended not to hear.

"Well, I'll keep it for now, and let the queen handle it when she comes back!"

Ji Song became anxious as soon as Concubine Wan's words came out of her mouth, and said quickly: "No, this is my son's filial piety to you. Your Majesty, this is your own filial piety. Just leave it alone, maybe you will need it sometime!" "

Concubine Wan Gui laughed as soon as she heard this, patted Ji Song's hand, smiled very happily, and said: "Okay, okay, I'll just keep it. I can't live up to your child's filial piety."

Concubine Wan found a delicate wooden box made of red sandalwood, which she valued very much, and carefully put the jade bottle into it.

Li Shimin's eyes were filled with excitement, but when he heard that the Queen was nowhere to be found, he looked away, which made Ji Song look down upon her with contempt.If it weren't for Concubine Wan Gui's seniority, Li Shimin would have tried his best to get it with his petty mind!

"Okay, it's a coincidence that you came here today. No one comes here all year round, so it's rare that it's lively today. You can't leave later. It's not too late to have a meal with me before leaving!"

When Ji Song heard this, he said happily: "Of course that's good. If you don't tell me, I won't be ready to leave. Your skills in Yangzhou delicacies will make me hungry. I'm in for a treat this time."

"Okay, okay, I will cook it for you myself. I know that you have stayed in Xuanzhou for a few years, so you must be able to adapt to the taste there."

"I don't know the emperor."

"It's all up to the concubine to make the decision. I haven't tasted your craftsmanship for many years. I can't let it go this time."

Concubine Wan was very happy when she heard this, and said quickly: "Then you wait, I will ask someone to prepare it. I haven't done this for a long time, and I don't know if my skills are rusty."

After saying that, he went out, leaving only Li Shimin and Ji Song staring at each other.

"What evil are you holding in your stomach? Your daughter beat the prince last time and I haven't settled it with you yet. How dare you appear in front of me?"

As soon as Ji Song heard this, he got up and walked out, leaving Li Shimin a little dumbfounded.

"Come back, what are you doing?"

Ji Song looked aggrieved and said, "Don't you want to see me? Isn't it possible for me to leave?"

As if he thought of something again, he suddenly realized: "Don't worry, the concubine will tell me that I have important things to deal with, and she won't tell me that you don't want to see me."

"To shut up!"

Li Shimin's brows were darkened. This guy was just a bastard, and he didn't know who he learned from.

"What are you doing here this time? Don't look down on me and tell me the truth!"

Ji Song had no choice but to tell him how the prince threatened him. Of course, he ignored the unimportant things that wanted the prince's benefit.

After hearing Ji Song's words, Li Shimin's face became even darker, and he said angrily: "It's a shame that he is still the prince. He can't do this. How can he inherit my position in the future? And how can the Su family do it without any skills?"

Ji Song rolled his eyes. Li Shimin said this simply because he could stand and talk without hurting his back. Which of the concubines in your harem are fuel-efficient lamps?Let a junior take care of them? You can't think of it?

"So, you focused your attention on the concubine?"

He glanced at Ji Song and said, but he was happy in his heart. This kid would have forgotten it if he didn't tell her. The concubine also managed the harem back then. She was familiar with it. Now she has the care of the concubines in the harem. It couldn't be better.

But this can't make this bastard look good. I'll talk to the concubine after he leaves.
Li Shimin thought so.
