Chapter 2070 Mother and Son Chat
"Replying to Mother, I have visited Aye."
Li Shen was more casual with Concubine Wei. He thought that his mother's place was his home.
He sat down next to his mother, picked up a piece of fruit and started eating it.
"You are already an adult, and you have four children at home. You should be more stable and stop making your father angry all the time."
Looking at her son, Concubine Wei couldn't help but give him a few words of advice.
"Yes, mother is right. I will try not to make him angry in the future."
Li Shen nodded vaguely.
Alas, looking at Li Shen's attitude, Concubine Wei knew that her words were in vain. It would be difficult to change the character that this child had developed since childhood.
"Mother, we brought a lot of good medicinal herbs this time. Please ask the imperial physician to prescribe a recipe for medicinal food. After you finish eating, Ding Niang will send someone to deliver it.
Especially the donkey-hide gelatin, which my mother eats every day."
"How can I finish all the herbs you have? If I eat them alone, they will go bad in a short time.
Take less next time."
When mentioning this, Concubine Wei was both relieved and somewhat reproachful.
"Is there no place to store medicinal herbs here?" Li Shen asked curiously.
Concubine Wei shook her head:
"This is a separate courtyard. There is no place to store medicinal herbs. I can't send the things back to Daji Hall."
Cuiwei Palace is just a royal palace.
"Well...then let's split it up. Aren't there still Concubine Yan De and Concubine Yang Shu? Oh, and there's also Xu Hui."
Li Shen thought about it and said directly that he had no way to take it back.
"That's what I meant. There are quite a lot of concubines here this time, so let's divide them up and make some good friends."
Concubine Wei nodded after hearing this. She had finally made some connections for her son.
"Mother, what good or bad fate is this? You are a favor to them by giving them the gifts. You are the leader of the four concubines, second only to the emperor in the harem.
There is no need to make any good connections with them. Sometimes making good connections is not a good thing. "
Li Shen then said that his mother was the second in command of the palace, a leader, and leaders should not get too close to their employees.
Otherwise, this work will not be able to be carried out in the future.
You should maintain a sense of mystery and dignity, so that occasional closeness will make people below you feel that you are approachable.
Moreover, relationships are not always a good thing and can easily be exploited by others.
"Shen'er, you need to be kind and not always keep people at a distance."
But Concubine Wei didn't understand what Li Shen meant.
Li Shen stopped trying to persuade him. As long as he was there, he would protect his mother's safety even at the risk of his life.
"By the way, mother, I heard last time that His Majesty intended to replace Concubine Yin with Xu Hui. What happened in the end?"
Li Shen leaned lazily on the couch, chewing fruit and asked casually.
What he remembered was what happened before he left, and he brought up this matter in order to trip up Li Chengqian.
However, he didn't care about it after he brought it up, and he wasn't quite sure how the situation would develop afterwards.
"Shen'er, don't interfere in the affairs of the harem, or His Majesty will vent his anger on you."
Concubine Wei tried to persuade him kindly. She knew her son was doing it for her own good, but interfering in the affairs of the harem was no small matter.
"Don't worry, mother. I won't do it myself. I'm not the only prince in Chang'an City. There are also my eldest brother and the other three.
I don't think they would like anyone to threaten the Queen's position."
Li Shen smiled and said, you definitely can't do this kind of thing by yourself, don't you still have the three idiots in Chang'an City?
The prince's position is stable, so it is easy to deal with Xu Hui.
If she dared to resist, Li Chengqian might have to bury her in Zhaoling Mausoleum.
"That won't work either. You don't need to ask about this matter." Concubine Wei shook her head. She didn't want her son to cause trouble again.
Li Shen had no choice but to remain silent.
Seeing this, Concubine Wei advised:
"Shen'er, I am already over fifty years old, and Your Majesty cannot be without someone to serve him. Even if Xu Hui is named the virtuous concubine, she cannot shake my position.
The Queen has a Crown Prince, and she and Your Majesty have a deep love for each other, and don’t I have you, Shen’er?
With you here, His Majesty will never neglect me, so don't worry."
"Well, since mother has made the decision, I won't ask any more questions. But if Xu Hui really shakes mother's position,
Then don't blame me for being ruthless." Li Shen nodded helplessly.
"Mother knows your filial piety, but matters in the harem are taboo, you must not interfere."
"Yes, I remember it."
After hearing this, Li Shen had no choice but to agree.
“By the way, the Wei family has sent a few letters recently, and a few people want mother to recommend them.
It's just that your Majesty has been ill these days, and I haven't had time to come to see you yet. I want to wait until your Majesty recovers before I do anything."
Concubine Wei suddenly said.
"Did the Wei family write a letter to my mother? Where's the list of names?"
Li Shen frowned, feeling a little unhappy. Did these people take his words as nonsense?
Concubine Wei stood up, picked up a piece of paper from the desk and handed it to Li Shen. Li Shen took it and took a look, but didn't recognize any of the people on it.
"Mother, which room is this from?" Li Shen asked.
"Western Reunion."
"Western family? The eldest son's family?"
The Wei family in Guanzhong is divided into nine branches, among which the western branch was first called the eldest branch, which can also be said to be the ancestral home.
When Li Shen heard that it was Xijuan, his brows frowned even more tightly. Concubine Wei's Yungongfang did not have much contact with Xijuan. Concubine Wei had recommended many officials in the past, including Xijuan.
But later, when Li Shen rose to power, he ordered the Wei family not to disturb his mother and to come to him if they had any problems.
Seeing that Li Shen was unhappy, Concubine Wei explained:
"They probably saw you going to the northwest and there was no one in the palace, so they sent you here."
"Haha. That's not necessarily true." Li Shen sneered twice.
"Mother, I guess they heard that His Majesty was seriously ill and felt that the Crown Prince would soon ascend the throne and that you would no longer be able to help them, so they planned to borrow your last bit of strength at the last moment.
These bastards, wait and see how I deal with them."
Although Li Shen doesn't understand politics, he has understood some of the tricks in ancient times over the years. The Wei family is trying to squeeze out the last bit of energy from his mother.
"Alas, Shen'er, forget it. After all, your mother is from the Wei family."
Concubine Wei sighed. Since ancient times, women in large families have been tools to increase the power of the head of the family.
"Mother, I hope you can be happy every day, and leave the rest to me.
Didn’t mother just say that my son has grown up? "
The lazy Li Shen sat up with a serious expression on his face.
Concubine Wei looked at the list in her hand, then looked at her son's face which had just shed its childishness, and finally handed the list to Li Shen.
"Yes, my Shen'er has grown up, so I'll leave it to you to handle."
(I had a stomach upset from the barbecue yesterday, and I had diarrhea several times this morning.)
