Chapter 90: Digging a hole for the noble family (asking for monthly tickets)
In the middle of the night, while Li Xiang was sleeping soundly, Li Jue sneaked into his bed.

Li Xiang suddenly had a dream. He dreamed that he was playing the arcade version of Three Kingdoms. He had just broken the fence and released the water to flood Cao Ren, and he saw the water overflowing from the arcade screen.

"Huh...huh..."

He was awakened by the flood and felt something wet around him.

"Li-Jue-!!!"

Li Xiang's roar resounded throughout the entire bedroom.

If I let you drink juice again, I will...

Li Xiang regrets it now, he regrets it very much.

Li Jue was not ashamed of it, but proud of it, and his big teeth were shining brightly.

Seeing him like this, Li Xiang felt helpless, but he couldn't scold him too much, so he had to call a maid to take Li Jue to wash.

These new maids were given to him by Li Tai with a wink. Each of them was twelve or thirteen years old, in the prime of their youth.

Li Xiang waved his hand and gave them all to Li Jue.

He is a dedicated man and only likes girls who are seventeen or eighteen years old. It was like this when he was twelve, it was like this when he was eighteen, and it will be like this when he is ninety-eight.

It’s just that… in this era, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, one should have been married long ago.

Girls reach the age of fifteen and usually get married before the age of eighteen.

Therefore, Li Xiang's Meng Ze is very likely to be a suspect of Meng De.

In fact, the main reason for not accepting these maids was because they were given by Li Tai.

Li Yuanchang’s previous experience was a lesson not far away. Li Xiang dared not recruit people casually. What if he recruited a spy?
In fact, he was really thinking wrongly. Li Tai was not that despicable. He was just worried that Li Xiang would learn from Li Chengqian and find some special channels.

Li Xiang did not have breakfast in the East Palace. He always felt that there was a smell of boy's urine in the East Palace.

Ever since that incident, Li Xiang felt uneasy, so he took on the job of decocting medicine for the two aunts.

After having breakfast in Lizheng Hall, Li Xiang sat in front of the stove and began to boil medicine for Li Mingda and Li Lizhi.

Before taking the medicine, Li Xiang tasted it himself to see if the temperature was appropriate. Only when it was no longer too hot did he give it to Li Mingda.

"What is Xiang'er doing?" Li Shimin, who was passing by, asked curiously.

Li Xiang replied: "My grandson is testing whether the temperature of the medicine is appropriate."

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh: "Xiang'er is pure and filial, and has the style of Han Wen..."

Hanwen refers to Emperor Wen of Han, Liu Heng. When Liu Heng's mother, Empress Dowager Bo, was ill, Liu Heng served her in plain clothes and even boiled and tasted the medicine himself until it was suitable before serving it to his mother.

Liu Heng was also the emperor most respected by Li Shimin, without a doubt.

As he had to go to Liangyi Hall for a small meeting, Li Shimin did not stay in Lizheng Hall for long. He just praised Li Xiang twice and left in a hurry.

What is generally passed by Li Shimin.

Li Mingda's condition was much better than Li Lizhi's. After taking the medicine twice, he felt less heavy.

After sitting in the Lizheng Hall for a while, she wanted Li Xiang to take her out of the palace to play.

It's not impossible for her to go out and play, but Li Xiang was worried that her body couldn't handle it, so he planned to consolidate for a few days before taking her out.

Li Mingda did not object, and he just did whatever Xiang'er said.

Seeing Li Xiang picking his ears with his little finger, Li Mingda asked with concern: "Xiang'er, what's wrong with you?"

"My ears are a little itchy..." Li Xiang replied, tapping his little fingers.

"Yeah." Li Mingda nodded, turned around and returned to the Lizheng Hall.

Soon, he took out a small spoon for picking ears.

She asked Lian Qiao to take two cushions and sit on the steps. Then she patted the cushion beside her and said, "Here, come and sit here."

Li Xiang sat over obediently. Li Mingda rubbed his head and said, "Lie down."

"Hey, this side." Li Mingda saw him lying down facing the other side, and couldn't help but chuckle with his hands covering his mouth. He pulled him to lie on his legs.

"Lie down, don't move."

Li Mingda held a small spoon next to Li Xiang's ear and threatened him, "If you move, you might get hurt!"

"Well, I won't move." Li Xiang said honestly.

The small spoon dug gently in his ears, which was very comfortable. Before he knew it, Li Xiang felt a little sleepy.

Li Jue flooded Jinshan Mountain in the middle of the night. It took him a long time to wash it. He had to get up early in the morning to boil medicine. Of course, Li Xiang was very sleepy.

"Here, change direction."

Li Mingda patted Li Xiang, but found that the other party did not respond.

Upon closer inspection, I found that my good nephew had fallen asleep.

Li Mingda did not disturb him and let him fall asleep with his head on his legs. He took out the music score that Li Xiang had given him before and sat there thinking about how to complete it.

In the Liangyi Hall, the first thing Li Shimin did after he arrived was to tell Zhangsun Wuji about his grandson's kindness and filial piety.

"Fuji, you don't know that when I passed by Lizheng Hall just now, Xiang'er was tasting the medicine for the two aunts."

"Really?" Changsun Wuji is a professional supporting actor, more professional than the one who smokes, drinks and has a perm.

Otherwise, how could he become Li Shimin's confidant?

"Is this true?" Li Shimin stroked his beard, looking contented as if he had a grandson. "Xiang'er is kind and filial, comparable to Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty..."

Changsun Wuji's body trembled, this evaluation was not given casually.

You know, there are so many filial sons in the world, why not compare yourself with others, but with Emperor Wen of Han?

"I didn't expect that the Prince of Hengshan not only resembles Your Majesty, but also has the style of Han Wen." Changsun Wuji immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "This is a blessing for the country!"

Li Shimin laughed heartily, feeling extremely happy.

In front of the Lizheng Hall, Li Xiang slept for a while and felt much better.

After waking up, I realized that I had fallen asleep while cleaning my ears.

He sat up somewhat embarrassedly, scratched his head and bared his teeth at Li Mingda.

I learned this trick from Li Jue...

Li Mingda didn't blame him. He rubbed his head and said gently, "Did Xiang'er get enough sleep? Do you want to rest for a while?"

"Much better, thank you aunt." Li Xiang answered honestly.

"You..." Li Mingda rubbed his head lovingly, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

When this was mentioned, Li Xiang became extremely angry.

"Don't mention it! Auntie, you don't know that Juer went to sleep in my bedroom last night. He was greedy and drank too much juice. He actually wet the bed when he was sleeping at night!"

Li Xiang narrated the story angrily, but Li Mingda grasped the key points.

"juice?"

Li Xiang: ...It’s bad. My aunt didn’t get to taste the good stuff first.

Looking at his aunt's subtle expression, Li Xiang immediately admitted his mistake.

"I'll make some for Auntie to try!"

"Humph."

The corners of Li Mingda's lips curled up.

This little elephant, he doesn't even think about his aunt when he has good things, he really deserves to be beaten!

Li Xiang asked Fubao to go back and get the juicer he had just made, and taught him in detail how to use the green radish and forsythia.

"It's best not to drink too much of this juice. One to two bowls a day is enough," Li Xiang warned.

Although juice is delicious, don't drink too much.

"I understand." Li Mingda nodded slightly and said, "Delicious food should not be enjoyed too much. I understand this principle."

It was the season for large white pears to be on the market, and the palace had the best pears. Li Xiang ordered someone to bring a few pears over and asked Lian Qiao to squeeze them into pear juice.

"Pear juice is very good for the body. You can drink a little more, aunt." Li Xiang said.

It can promote the production of body fluids, relieve dryness, clear away heat and resolve phlegm, and is best for treating qi diseases.

Li Mingda picked up the bowl, took a sip, and smiled with his eyes curved.

"It's so sweet."

"As long as Auntie likes it." Li Xiang said happily. He picked up the bowl and drank his share in one gulp.

In the Lizheng Hall, Luluo also brought a bowl of pear juice to Li Lizhi, and Li Lizhi also spoke highly of the pear juice.

Li Mingda drank only a few sips and then handed the bowl to Luoluo and Lianqiao, asking them to have a taste as well.

Then she pointed to the last two pears and said, "Leave these two pears for now. When Aye comes back, let him taste the pear juice."

Li Shimin, who was far away in Liangyi Palace, naturally had no idea that his girlfriend was thinking about him. He was now thinking about how to set a trap for the aristocratic family.

At this time, he was holding a small meeting. The meeting members included Sun Simiao, Li Chengqian, Li Zhi, Changsun Wuji, and a white falcon who was listening in, ready to take off from Wuhu at any time to deliver a letter to Li Tai.

"News came from Qingque that the Five Surnames and Seven Families are colluding with court officials in Chang'an and are preparing to impeach the East Palace."

Li Shimin tapped the table unconsciously with his fingers, and after a while he said, "They are going to impeach Gao Ming on the grounds that the copy of Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases that Gao Ming seized was the dowry of the concubine of Wang family in Taiyuan."

At this point, Li Shimin smiled, looked at Li Zhi and said, "My aunt, Princess Tong'an, told me last time that Wang's daughter is very beautiful. I originally wanted to marry her to Zhinu, but now..."

Li Zhi's heart tightened and said, "No, Dad, please don't do that."

I just like beautiful ones!
This was indeed the case with Li Zhi in history, especially when it came to his sister-in-law Wu Shun and niece Helan, he was attracted by their beauty.

For a man, especially an emperor, being lustful is not a big deal.

God swears by the sky, Li Zhi will never reconcile with gambling and drugs in his life!
Li Chengqian saw Li Zhi's anxious look, so he smiled and said, "If Zhinu likes it, it's fine."

Hearing his elder brother's words, Li Zhi looked at him gratefully.

My dear brother!

"Let's consider it after the dust settles." Li Shimin glared at the useless Li Zhi. He was dispensable with this matter.

After all, Li Zhi was not the crown prince, so there was nothing wrong with letting him marry a woman from one of the five surnames.

The most important thing is that after giving a slap in the face, it is feasible to let Li Zhi marry Wang's daughter as a sweet gift to Wang of Taiyuan.

"In that case, the importance of Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases must be concealed." Li Chengqian said again. Now he is really smart and has occupied the high ground: "My child has a suggestion, but I don't know if I should say it."

Li Shimin remembered what Li Xiang had said before, so he gave Li Chengqian an encouraging look.

"Gao Ming might as well tell me about it."

Encouraged, Li Chengqian made up his mind and said, "Why not hide the importance of Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases and say that since Master Sun failed to cure my mother, he has always felt guilty about it. He has studied hard for more than ten years and finally found a good prescription, which made it possible to cure qi disease..."

Don't say it, really don't say it...

"I think your suggestion is a good one, Crown Prince." Zhang Sun Wuji immediately expressed his support: "This way, we can lure the snake out of its hole and reduce the importance of Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases. At the critical moment, we can give it a fatal counterattack."

Li Shimin stroked his beard and nodded slightly at Li Chengqian.

"What Gao Ming said coincides with what I thought."

Li Chengqian curled his lips and said, "You must have copied my idea."

He added: "And spread the word that I sent people to seize the book in order to cure my foot disease."

He stood up, took two steps normally, and said with a smile: "Now I am not lame anymore, this is the best proof."

"Why not do it in one go and say that big brother went to snatch it because he heard there was an aphrodisiac recipe in the book..." Li Zhi said weakly as he stretched out his hand.

Damn it?

After hearing Li Zhi's words, everyone present turned their eyes to him in surprise.

If Li Xiang were here, he would definitely sigh and say, this is the power of the old silver coin...

Li Chengqian immediately became anxious: "Zhi Nu! Why are you saying all these suggestions to others? Do you still want to keep your reputation as a brother?"

"Your reputation isn't that good either." Li Shimin curled his lips. "Take a look at the twenty pieces of 'Remonstrance Garden' written by Yu Zhining. Quite a few people have read them."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian's scalp exploded.

He now wished he could go back and chop Yu Zhining into minced meat.

Li Zhi huddled behind Zhangsun Wuji and said weakly, "If you want to cure your foot disease, it's understandable that you want to snatch the Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases, but it's different if you want to strengthen your yang. This would seem a bit absurd, and the Shandong gentry would have fewer scruples..."

"No!" Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and looked at Li Zhi: "If this happens, my reputation will be completely ruined!"

“That’s brilliant…”

Li Shimin cleared his throat, "Sometimes it's okay to make some necessary sacrifices..."

You're not the one who sacrificed your feelings, right? Li Chengqian complained in his heart.

There was nothing he could do. Who had let Zhou of Yixing hide the book and indirectly killed his mother?

Forget it! Just think of it as doing it for my mother! Just bear with it!
"I have no objection." Li Chengqian said gritting his teeth.

But looking at his expression...it doesn't look like he has no opinion.

"Since Gao Ming has no objection, then this matter is settled." Li Shimin said with a smile.

After a moment's silence, he looked at Sun Simiao and said, "If anyone asks me how I cured the qi disease, I will just tell them as Gao Ming said."

Sun Simiao did not object, after all, this good prescription was indeed "found" by him.

It doesn’t matter as long as you don’t mention Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Disorders.

I am hiding the truth ≠ I am lying, the mother method of solving problems is fast.

"In that case, let's settle it like this."

Li Shimin said with a smile, folded the piece of paper with Wang De's notes written on it, tied it to the leg of the white falcon, and released it to pass on the message to Li Tai.
