Chapter 2005 Going to the Princess's Mansion
The meal lasted a full hour. Afterwards, Li Shimin gave Li Shen face and allowed him to go and say goodbye to Concubine Wei alone.
Concubine Wei brought Li Shen to her residence and looked her son up and down.
Li Shen felt a little scared.
"Mother, is there something wrong with my face?"
"Haha, my son has grown up." Concubine Wei touched Li Shen's head.
Li Shen quickly shook his head to avoid it. His mother was taller than him, so it was just right for her to touch his head.
But Li Shen hates being touched on the head because he doesn't like to grow taller.
Li Mengjiang was the same, he loved to touch Li Shen's head.
"Shen'er, remember to be careful when you go to Anxi this time. Anxi is not within the Wei family's sphere of influence, so I can't ask the Wei family to help you."
Concubine Wei sat down and spoke. Most of the power of their Wei family is in Guanzhong.
"Don't worry, mother. Nothing will happen this time. In fact, even if Father doesn't let me guard Anxi, I will still go to Anxi.
There is a large industry of Prince Ji's Mansion over there, and it is also the key project of Prince Ji's Mansion. I can't abandon Anxi.
Otherwise, my trip to Anxi a few years ago would have been in vain."
Li Shen knew that his mother was worried about his safety, and this trip to Anxi was different from going to Qinghai Road.
There was rebellion in Anxi, but not in Qinghai Road.
"Alas, you have grown up, and the Ji Wang Mansion is such a huge family business that all belongs to you.
But you can't be too adventurous, and you should find time to expand the Ji Wang Mansion.
I am very happy that one of your wives is pregnant this time. I am really worried that you will not be able to..."
At this point, Concubine Wei hesitated to speak.
"Don't worry, mother. I will work hard to expand the Ji Palace and give birth to more grandchildren for you to play with."
Li Shen said with a grin.
"You are always talking without restraint. How can your grandson be a joke? Be careful what you say and do when you go out this time. Don't make trouble."
Concubine Wei tapped Li Shen's head with her finger, feeling a little amused and helpless.
"Yes, I will follow my mother's instructions." Li Shen bowed.
After the mother and son chatted briefly, Li Shen bowed and left.
He then went to Hanfeng Hall to bid farewell to Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, and left Cuiwei Palace with his family.
Li Shen looked back at Cuiwei Palace and thought that he would have to wait until next year to come again.
After returning to Prince Ji's Mansion, Li Shen changed his clothes and went to the study.
"Come here, send someone to notify Wang Xuance, Pei Mingli, and Wang Hongfu to come to the study, and send someone to notify Xue Rengui that we will leave tomorrow, and let him prepare."
Li Shen gave instructions to his servants and prepared to make some explanations.
However, just as he sat down on the couch, Li Shen suddenly remembered something, put on his shoes and went out.
"Your Highness, where are we going?" Shi Tou asked from behind.
"Go to the princess's mansion next door." Li Shen originally wanted to jump over the wall, but then he thought it was not very formal, so he walked out of his own front door and went to the princess's mansion not far away.
When the gateman of the princess's mansion saw that it was Li Shen, he immediately sent someone to inform Princess Linchuan Li Mengjiang.
Li Shen didn't care and walked straight in.
My own sister doesn't need any visiting cards or notifications. It's too troublesome. As soon as I walked to the front courtyard corridor, Li Mengjiang came towards me, followed by several maids.
"Shen'er, you're not following the rules again." Li Mengjiang scolded when he saw his brother swaggering in.
It wasn't because Li Shen didn't report it, but because she was afraid that outsiders would think that Li Shen didn't know the rules.
Now his younger brother is considered a well-known figure in the Tang Dynasty. How can he save face if others say that he does not know the rules?
"Hello, sister. It's so hot outside. Do you want me to wait outside?" Li Shen asked after bowing.
"You always make excuses." Li Mengjiang smiled and blamed.
"Sister, let's go to the garden to talk. The room is too stuffy." Li Shen said without any further ado.
Li Mengjiang nodded and took Li Shen to a garden pavilion in the front yard. She then asked the servants to serve tea. She had just smelled alcohol on Li Shen.
"Come on, Shen'er, have some tea to sober you up."
"Sister, I just came back from Cuiwei Palace and went to say goodbye to Aye." Li Shen said after taking a sip of tea.
"Goodbye?" Li Mengjiang was stunned. He didn't know that Li Shen was going to the northwest.
When Zhou Daowu was not at home, Li Mengjiang seldom went out. Even when he went out, he would go out with the noble ladies in the capital. They seldom talked about political affairs when they were together.
"Yes, I will go to Anxi Protectorate tomorrow. My father asked me to stay there for a while to ensure the safety of food and grass on the front line." Li Shen explained.
"Are you leaving as a celebrity? Then Shen'er, you must be more careful. There are many foreigners there, so your own safety is the most important thing."
Li Mengjiang said with concern.
"Don't worry, sister. I will. Mother and Consort have already told me.
I came here to tell you that I transferred Zhou Daowu to Anxi Protectorate, so if you have any requests, please write a letter.
I'll deliver it to Zhou Daowu for you." Li Shen told the purpose of his visit.
Just now she was thinking that her sister and Zhou Daowu haven't seen each other for more than half a year. If they don't keep in touch, they might not even recognize each other when they meet in the future.
"Shen'er, Daoist affairs have important matters to attend to. Writing a letter would break the rules, and I'm afraid it would distract me from Daoist affairs."
Li Mengjiang still knew the rules better than Li Shen. After Zhou Daowu went to the Tubo border, Li Mengjiang did not write to Zhou Daowu.
Because Zhou Daowu was on a mission, he could not send letters to the army. This did not seem like being an official in the local area.
"What a broken rule, sister. I have the final say in Anxi Protectorate now. The rules I say are the rules. If I say it's okay to send a letter, then it's okay to send a letter.
Don't worry, nothing will happen.
You and Zhou Daowu haven't seen each other for more than half a year. You must have a lot to say. Write it all down and leave the rest to me."
What a broken rule. I am in charge of the Anxi Protectorate, which is the biggest rule. If I say there should be light, then there must be light.
Anyone who says that others break the rules is jealous. They actually want to break the rules, but they don't have the ability to do so, so they can only talk to you about morality.
But when it is their turn to be capable, they will talk to you in a bossy way.
Li Mengjiang was still a little hesitant. She was worried whether it would bring trouble to Li Shen and hinder Zhou Daowu's future.
Li Shen immediately advised, "Sister, it will be alright, and I specifically asked Zhou Daowu to transfer here this time.
There are some rebels in Anxi Protectorate, and this achievement cannot be given to others, so it would be best to let Zhou Daowu do it."
"Will it be dangerous?" Li Mengjiang asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, how could I let Zhou Daowu take risks? The Anxi Protectorate has 40,000 troops, there will be no danger." Li Shen assured.
Seeing that Li Mengjiang wanted to say something else, Li Shen stood up directly:
"Okay, sister, please write the letter now. Once you're done, just send someone to deliver it to the palace. I still have some things to arrange, so I'll take my leave now."
After saying this, Li Shen left.
(I know a friend who went to see a doctor in another city a few days ago. He was allowed to jump the queue if he knew someone at the hospital. My friend cursed him for a long time.
Yesterday he took his father-in-law to see a doctor in this city. He knew the director of the hospital, so he went straight to the specialist without even having to make an appointment.
I only said one word to him, damn it.)
