Chapter 1961 Sowing discord
A shrill scream tore through the tranquility of Cuiwei Palace, making people feel creepy and terrified.
It could be heard throughout the entire Hanfeng Hall.
The guards, maids, and eunuchs outside all turned their eyes towards Hanfeng Palace.
Many people were wondering in their hearts, who was so bold as to scream like that in Hanfeng Palace? Was he tortured?
Some people guessed who it was. The voice sounded very much like the Tenth Prince, His Royal Highness Prince Ji.
It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Ji has made His Majesty angry again.
In the study, Li Shimin was also frightened by Li Shen's scream. Although he used a little force, it shouldn't have this effect.
Isn’t this too miserable to call out?
"You bastard, why are you screaming so loudly?" Li Shimin angrily hit him again.
"Ah~~~"
What he got in return was another scream from Li Shen.
"Father, calm down. It really hurts." Li Shen turned around and said,
This was a miscalculation. The self-torture trick didn't work and he actually got beaten.
This is not how it is played on TV. Shouldn't the boy take the initiative to accept the punishment, and then the dad sees how sensible he is and finally says helplessly, "Is the matter over?"
How come it's different from what's shown in the show? He took the initiative to accept the punishment, and he really got beaten. Dad must have never watched TV.
"Hmph, you still feel pain? As a prince, can't you pay attention? If you hold a meeting with those playboys like this, how many memorials will be impeached if it gets out?"
Li Shimin snorted coldly. Li Shimin also hated Li Shen for always giving the enemy something to talk about and not paying attention to the prince's personal image.
"Father, I'm just holding a meeting. I won't be impeached, right? Besides, wasn't it Father who asked me to deal with these playboys?
From now on, I think I have done it.”
Li Shen lay there and argued.
"You dare to refute me?" Li Shimin waved his hand again upon hearing this, and Li Shen screamed again.
"I asked you to manage these playboys, but I didn't ask you to lead them to rebel? You still want to fight again, the wealth of your Ji Wangfu is enough to support not only the third generation of wealth, but also the eighth generation of wealth."
Li Shimin was targeting Li Shen's treasonous words.
"Aye, I can..." When Li Shen was about to argue, the door of the study was pushed open, and then Empress Zhangsun walked in quickly.
Seeing Li Shen lying on the chair, Li Shimin, who was standing beside him with a ruler in his hand, hurried over.
"Hey, what happened? It's only been a short time, Erlang, why do you want to punish Shen'er?"
"Mother~~~~"
When Li Shen saw Empress Changsun, he rushed over, knelt on the ground, hugged Empress Changsun's thighs and cried bitterly in grievance.
"Shen'er has been wronged."
Seeing Li Shen's look, Empress Changsun immediately felt maternal love and touched Li Shen's head to comfort him.
"Hmph, this rebellious son wants to rebel." Li Shimin snorted.
"what?"
"rebellion?"
Empress Changsun was shocked, and Concubine Wei, who was following behind her, was even more frightened.
I haven't heard that my son is planning a rebellion.
"Mother, I never intended to rebel. I was wrongly accused. I just held a meeting with those playboys to have some fun.
Maybe I accidentally said something I shouldn't have said, so my father accused me of plotting a rebellion. I am innocent~~~"
It’s good that I finally found her. How can I let her go so easily? Otherwise, I don’t know how I will be abused later.
After hearing what Li Shen said, Empress Changsun finally felt relieved.
"Erlang, Shen'er is young and has a casual temperament. He likes to talk nonsense. Erlang will teach him a lesson.
But if you say it's a conspiracy, I think it's nonsense. I don't know where Erlang heard the rumor from. We should investigate it thoroughly and don't let outsiders harm Shen'er."
"That's right, that's right." Li Shen looked at his father and nodded vigorously, which made Li Shimin furious.
"Guanyin, please don't indulge this rebellious son, otherwise I don't know what kind of trouble he will cause in the future. I want to teach this rebellious son a lesson today, so don't worry about it."
As he was about to grab Li Shen, Li Shen quickly crawled behind Empress Chang Sun, pulled at her skirt and said:
"Aye, how can you say that about mother? Mother taught us children carefully and was always very strict. She never indulged us.
Aye, are you complaining about mother not teaching us well?"
"Bastard! When did I..." Li Shimin cursed angrily. This bastard actually tried to sow discord.
"Your Majesty, I have always been strict with the princes and princesses, and have never been lax.
Even the princes who were sent to the vassal states and the princesses who were surrendered would always be informed of their situation, for fear that they would bring disgrace to the royal family.
If Your Majesty feels that I am not capable enough, then I will not be involved in this matter from now on. It is up to Your Majesty to decide whether to teach me personally or find a talented person."
A look of sadness appeared on Empress Chang Sun's face, not only because of Li Shen's instigation, but also because Li Shimin had a hint of complaint in his voice.
After being married for more than 30 years, she knew Li Shimin's every word and action very well. She could understand the meaning behind his eyes and gestures.
Li Shimin glared at Li Shen, then stepped forward and helped Empress Changsun to sit down in front of the couch:
"Guanyin, how could I dislike you? Don't listen to this rebellious son's instigation. You and I have been married for decades, don't I feel at ease?
Since I ascended the throne, you have managed the harem in an orderly manner, which has freed me from worries. I would not trust anyone else to manage the harem except you, Guanyinbi."
"I think Xu Chongrong is pretty good. She is so beautiful that she can make fishes sink to the bottom of their chests and geese fall to the ground, and she is also very talented in writing. She is truly a man of both virtue and talent.
Still…" At this moment, Li Shen's untimely voice sounded again, with a sarcastic tone.
"Shut up!"
Before Li Shen could finish speaking, Li Shimin shouted angrily to stop him and gave him a threatening look.
"Oh." Li Shen shrank his neck.
He mentioned Xu Hui on purpose. Xu Hui has been very favored in recent years, mainly because she is young, beautiful and talented, with fair skin, long legs, soft breasts, a perky butt and a slender waist.
With his willow-shaped eyebrows and cherry lips, everyone is happy to look at him. Even his father, Li Laoer, trembles all over when he looks at him.
Almost all the concubines in the inner palace knew that His Majesty favored Xu Hui, so Li Shen added fuel to the fire.
After threatening Li Shen, Li Shimin turned around, took Empress Changsun's hand, and gently comforted her:
"Don't listen to this rebellious son's nonsense. Guanyin, you are my queen and you will always be my queen. You will always be the one in charge of the harem and it will never change.
You and I have been married for many years, don't you still trust your husband?"
Li Shimin has no time to deal with Li Shen now. The most important thing is to comfort his wife first.
The two had a deep relationship. Empress Changsun married Li Shimin at the age of thirteen and was always by his side. Empress Changsun made an indispensable contribution to Li Shimin's becoming emperor.
No one could compare to Li Shimin's love for Empress Changsun.
(A book friend said that hot springs are good for hemorrhoids, so I went yesterday, and then my midlife crisis began.
When I was a child, I could swim a circle in a river without feeling tired, but now I am panting and exhausted after swimming just a dozen meters.
I am old.)
