Chapter 24: My money!
"Everything will be known only after the arrival of the imperial physician!"

Li Shimin snorted arrogantly: "If I can't convince you, there are naturally professionals who can convince you!"

Li Xiang didn't say anything, so let's just wait and see.

The emperor summoned the imperial physician, so of course he did not dare to delay and rushed to the Lizheng Hall as quickly as possible.

The grandfather and grandson were still staring at each other, neither of them willing to give in to the other.

Princess Jinyang sat on a Hu stool and looked at Li Xiang with eyes full of trust.

In fact, she didn't like eating greasy food either, but Li Shimin asked her to do so, and she couldn't bear to refuse the kindness from her old father.

Elephants always have a way, come on!
She secretly cheered Li Xiang up in her heart.

"Qian Shu, please give us your evaluation."

Li Shimin looked at the panting imperial physician, and after he had caught his breath, he asked directly, "The princess is weak and should not eat too much greasy food. Does what you said make sense?"

Qian Shu wiped the sweat off his forehead, looked up at the roasted lamb on the table, and immediately put on a mask of pain.

Princess Jinyang already has respiratory problems, so she shouldn't eat this kind of food. Why are you still...

He glanced at Li Xiang, then at Li Shimin, and had already made up his mind.

It seems that the roasted lamb must have been given to the princess by the emperor's grandson. Children like to share delicious food, so they started arguing with His Majesty...

At this moment, Qian Shu had completed the loop in his mind.

But... we can't offend both sides, especially this emperor's grandson. I just heard that the Left Scholar of the Eastern Palace was imprisoned because of him. He is not an easy person to deal with... I'd better try to say something nice about him!
Thinking of this, Qian Shu said, "The emperor's grandson is kind and filial, and it's also for the princess's health, but..."

Hearing this, Li Shimin immediately put on a smug look and glanced at Li Xiang.

Li Xiang's scalp tightened, what the hell! Are you a good imperial physician?
Unexpectedly, Qian Shu changed the subject and said, "The princess's condition is indeed not suitable for eating greasy and difficult-to-digest food. I understand that once a child has a favorite thing, he wants to share it with those close to him. However, the princess's condition is not suitable for eating greasy food such as roasted meat. I hope the prince will consider the princess's health..."

When Li Shimin heard Qian Shu say this, his face couldn't get any darker.

Enter... enter your mother!

Young children?!
But he couldn't get angry - Qian Shu was talking about Li Xiang, and if he spoke directly, wouldn't that be admitting that he was like a child?
Just when he was wondering how to smooth things over, Li Xiang respectfully bowed to Qian Shu and said, "What the imperial physician Qian said is like a revelation to me. Please rest assured, I will never act like a child again and play tricks with the old man!"

Li Xiang had good intentions, and of course he couldn't let Li Shimin lose face in front of outsiders. But he felt uncomfortable taking the blame, so he deliberately added some personal opinions, not accidentally.

Li Shimin took a deep breath.

At first I was thinking that Xiang'er was brave enough to take the blame for Aong, he was indeed kind and filial.

But the more I listened, the more unpleasant it became.

This grandson, there is something behind his words!

Who are you scolding in secret with your childish temper? Who are you teasing with this nonsense? !

Unfortunately, he couldn't get angry right now, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing.

It was His Majesty who was acting like a child? As soon as Li Shimin thought about it, he felt that Wei Zheng's memorial was beckoning.

He could only groan and say, "Well, since Xiang'er knows about it, Qian Shu, you can leave now."

"Yes, I'll take my leave." Qian Shu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, bowed and took his leave.

That’s good. Isn’t this grandson of the emperor quite polite?

"Doctor Qian, please take care! Doctor Qian won't see you off!" Li Xiang was still shouting at him from behind.

After Qian Shu heard this, he couldn't help but praise Li Xiang for his courtesy. No wonder even though he was a little willful, the sage asked him to convince people with reason. After Qian Shu left, Li Xiang turned around and looked at Li Shimin with a cute face.

Old Li raised his head and looked at the carved beams and painted buildings, but he didn't look at Li Xiang.

"Aye, Xiang'er is worried about Sizi, that's why he is so disrespectful to you."

Li Mingda leaned on Li Shimin's arm and comforted him softly, "Aye always said that Wei Taishi was your 'human mirror'. Now Xiang'er knows that speaking frankly may anger Aye, but he still insists on the truth and makes Aye understand the gains and losses. Isn't he another 'human mirror' of Aye?"

"You should be happy to have such a kind and virtuous grandson. How can you be angry?"

After hearing what Xiao Mian'ao said, Li Shimin's anger immediately disappeared.

"Since your aunt is begging for you, let's forget about it..."

When Li Xiang heard this, his mind got hot.

No, this is your problem. How come it seems to be my problem after all these twists and turns?

"Has Aung realized his mistakes?"

Oh, this little bastard...

Li Shimin sighed and said, "Okay, okay, it's my fault for not accepting Xiang'er's honest advice and almost putting Sizi in danger..."

As he said this, he turned around and looked at the attendant with a meaningful look.

Today's incident, well, is a secret.

The attendant gave him a "hehe" expression in response.

Your Majesty, this is a beautiful thought.

"As the saying goes, it is the greatest virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Since Grandpa has corrected them, he is still a good man... a good Grandpa."

Li Xiang behaved very magnanimously and held back the word "comrade".

He is the biggest feudal landlord. I am the number one successor to the feudal landlord. I'd better not use these two words.

Looking at Li Xiang's expression, Li Shimin felt a little annoyed, but he had no way to deal with him because the other party's protector Li Mingda was by his side.

Just wait, when the day comes when we are alone together, I will definitely give you a good beating!
After staying with Li Mingda in Lizheng Hall until evening, Li Xiang was driven back by Li Shimin.

Because he was granted "ten thousand gold", Li Xiang was sent back in a sedan chair by Li Shimin this time.

Looking at the ten strings of Kaiyuan Tongbao coins placed beside the sedan chair, Li Xiang felt his eyelids twitching.

This is Wan Jin, right?
He picked up a heavy pile of Kaiyuan Tongbao coins, his head buzzing.

I was so happy for nothing. I thought I had gotten some Li Shimin gold coins, but in the end not many came out.

There was "Kaiyuan Tongbao" during the Zhenguan period, which was not a mistake. Because the five-zhu coins of the Sui Dynasty were light and small, in order to rectify the chaotic currency system, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, ordered the abolition of Sui coins and imitated the strict standards of the five-zhu coins of the Western Han Dynasty to cast "Kaiyuan Tongbao" to replace the remaining five-zhu coins of the Sui Dynasty.

Every ten coins equaled one tael. This "ten thousand jin" was sixty-two catties and five taels. At such a young age, it was a bit difficult for Li Xiang to move such a heavy thing to the East Palace.

After returning to the Eastern Palace, Li Xiang sent Fu Bao and others to deliver the money back to the bedroom, while he went to Mingde Hall to find Li Chengqian.

However, just as he reached the door, he heard a crackling sound coming from the hall, followed by Li Chengqian's angry roar.

"My money!"

Li Xiang did not dare to delay and immediately pushed the door open.

No matter what evil things our father does, we must stop him before a disaster occurs!
