Chapter 1864 is broken
An hour later, Li Shen woke up slowly. He felt sore all over:
"Oh, I can't drink this wine anymore. My whole body aches after drinking it.
This Mr. Li is a heavy drinker. He almost drank me to death. I must be more careful next time.
Chunxiang, pour me a glass of ice water."
Li Shen stretched his muscles, narrowed his eyes slightly, and swore in his heart that he would never drink so much again.
Especially, I can’t drink with my dad. He’s so old, but he can still drink so much. He almost killed me and I even drank myself into a blackout.
He sat up slowly and a glass of water was handed to him. Li Shen took it, tilted his head back and took a big sip.
"This isn't cold either. Didn't I say I wanted to freeze... Lao Li? Not... Dad, not... Aye?"
Li Shen originally wanted to lose his temper, but when he looked carefully at the person who handed him the cup of water, his mind became a little confused.
He first looked at his father, then looked at Wang De who was smiling beside him, and then looked around at the environment.
He realized that this was not his own Prince Ji's Mansion. After thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have followed his father to the study after dinner.
And this is exactly Dad’s study.
All the information was summarized to conclude that after getting drunk, he did not return to Prince Ji's mansion, but followed his father to the study.
Then I don't know when I lost my memory and fell asleep here.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, may I ask what Lao Li means? Are you calling me 'Zhen'?"
Just as Li Shen's 586 brain finished starting up, he heard his father's eerie voice in his ears.
Li Shen turned his head and saw his father's gloomy face.
The titles "Old Something" and "Old Something" were rarely used in the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin learned about this title from Li Shen.
But the person called this by Li Shen was Wang De, a eunuch.
Li Shen always called Wang De "Old Wang".
The word "old" usually means old, so it is understandable that Li Shen calls Wang De "Lao Wang" because Wang De is indeed older.
But just now Li Shen called Li Shimin "Old Li", which made Li Shimin feel that Li Shen was very disrespectful to him.
It is extremely treasonous to call yourself an emperor, and your father, in the same way as you call a eunuch.
As for the title of "old father" at the end, Li Shimin did not care, because it was recorded in "Guangya" compiled during the Three Kingdoms period that "Dad means father."
The word "dad" was not originally a word from the Central Plains. It came from the name for father used by the Xianbei, Xiongnu and other tribes in the north.
Li Shimin naturally knew that his grandmother was the daughter of Dugu Xin of the Xianbei tribe, and his maternal grandmother was Princess Xiangyang of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, also a Xianbei.
In other words, both Li Yuan and his mother Dou have half Xianbei ancestry.
Li Shimin naturally knew something about the Xianbei people, but what he cared about was the old Li before Li Shen.
"This..." Li Shen's mind raced, thinking about how to defend himself.
"Aye, this word Lao is a respectful title. Isn't our ancestor called Laozi?"
"Really?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, yes, yes." Li Shen nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.
"Humph, this won't happen again. If I hear this word again, don't blame me for using family rules."
Li Shimin snorted, but didn't care anymore.
Huh? Did he just fool around like that? Li Shen was a little puzzled. This was too easy. He was just making it up.
He didn't believe it when he said it himself, but his father actually believed it. He found it unbelievable.
Others could not understand it, but Li Shen knew that just based on the two words "Old Li", it was not excessive to be beaten up.
"Yes, I will remember Aye's teachings."
"Okay, come and have a cup of tea and talk about Pei Mingli." Li Shimin returned to his seat and Wang De began to make tea.
"Yes." Li Shen agreed and then left him.
"Hiss~~~" As soon as his thighs and buttocks sat on the edge of the bed, he felt pain and Li Shen couldn't help but gasp.
"What's wrong?" Li Shimin turned around and asked, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"I don't know either. After I woke up, I felt pain all over my body." Li Shen touched it with his hand and indeed felt a pain.
"You can't handle alcohol, so naturally you feel sore all over after drinking. Don't drink too much in the future, it's not good for your health."
Li Shimin advised seriously.
Li Shen thought about it and it did make sense.
"Yes, I won't drink too much in the future. Drinking too much is really harmful to the body. I'm still in pain now.
The wine this time is not good. Tomorrow, I will ask someone to send some good wine to Aye.
Throw away this wine, don’t let it ruin your health.”
Li Shen stood on the ground and moved around, feeling pain all over his body. However, he felt something was wrong. It was different from the soreness he usually felt after drinking.
This time my whole body ached.
I thought that the wine must be bad, maybe because it was not sealed properly.
"Well, don't worry, I won't drink that wine." Li Shimin nodded, thinking that the whole bottle of wine was finished anyway.
Li Shen sat down, and Wang De handed him a small cup of tea with a smile, but Li Shen always felt that there was something behind Wang De's smile.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Shen asked with a frown, holding the teacup.
"I'm not laughing at anything. As a slave, I have to serve my master with a smile, otherwise I will be punished."
Wang De still replied with an inexplicable smile.
"Really? You are not making fun of me?" Li Shen was half-believing and half-doubting. There was indeed such a rule. It was just a professional service with a smile.
But Li Shen always felt something was wrong.
"Okay, let's talk about Pei Mingli." Li Shimin interrupted Li Shen and said.
"Pei Mingli? Why do we need to talk about him?" Li Shen was stunned. How did his father know that he wanted Pei Mingli?
"Didn't you say you wanted Pei Mingli?" Li Shimin said calmly after taking a sip of tea.
"What? I said I wanted Pei Mingli?" Li Shen was shocked when he heard this. He had no impression of it at all.
Could it be that what happened when I blacked out? Then what else did I say? Did I reveal the secret of Prince Ji's mansion?
Uh, it seems that there are no secrets in Prince Ji’s Mansion. By the way, have you agreed to any inexplicable conditions?
"Why, have you forgotten? You also promised..."
"Father, I was drunk just now, and what I said was just drunken talk, which doesn't count. I don't want Pei Mingli anymore, and I will send someone to kill him tomorrow to prevent future troubles.
Our previous agreement is void."
Before Li Shimin could finish, Li Shen interrupted him immediately when he heard the word "agree".
He expressed with a resolute attitude that he did not want Pei Mingli anymore, and could even kill him directly, and all previous deals were invalid.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened and he slammed the table:
"You bastard, Pei Mingli is an official appointed by the imperial court, how can you kill him just like that?
Don't you know that killing an official appointed by the imperial court is considered treason according to the law?"
(Those of you who have experienced blackouts should be able to relate to this. You thought you were awake, but when you woke up you couldn’t remember anything.)
