Chapter 2651 Forming a Group to Go to the Ice and Snow World
Li Shen cried and begged to leave his house and go home. He wanted to get away from his family and sever ties with them.
He transmigrated into the body of Prince Ji, an unfavored illegitimate son in the Tang Dynasty. His father favored the legitimate son and constantly beat and scolded him, even finding excuses to deduct all of his salary. He could only survive in the dilapidated palace.
The window paper beside him had several large holes, and the cold wind, mixed with blizzard, poured into the room. Li Shen's only companions were the half-read Analects and half a cornbread on the table.
He was wearing thin clothes, patched upon patched, and his hands, holding the book, were blue with cold.
This is him, Prince Ji Shen, the tenth prince of the Tang Dynasty, an illegitimate son unloved by his father and mother, trapped in this deep palace.
To him, this place was nothing more than a gilded cage.
In a short moment, Li Shen had created a vivid picture of his tragic past.
"Hmph, what kind of behavior is this, crying and sobbing? Stop with your hypocritical affectation."
Li Shimin snorted, already immune to Li Shen's performance.
"And you two, I've already said this matter ends here. I said it wasn't the Tenth Prince who did it, so it wasn't the Tenth Prince who did it."
You two don't need to delve too deeply into this matter. Don't blame me for not warning you when you suffer the consequences.
Do you think this scoundrel is a good person? How could he not have a backup plan?
After speaking to Li Shen, Li Shimin turned to Li Tai and his brother and reprimanded them.
Li Shimin wanted to interrupt Li Tai when he brought up the matter, but he had already suppressed it.
No one knows Li Shen better than him. Since this scourge dared to do such a big thing, how could he not have a backup plan?
I was merely Li Shen's first resort; I helped Li Shen suppress this matter partly because Li Shen was suppressing the power of the aristocratic families.
Another concern for Li Shimin was Li Shen's backup plan. He feared that Li Shen would escalate the situation too much and make it impossible to control.
This outcome is for the best; the aristocratic families and powerful figures can only suffer in silence.
Seeing their father was angry, Li Tai and Li Zhi immediately fell silent, not daring to say another word.
Only Li Shen, still unconvinced, crawled back and lay down again, but no one knew what he was muttering.
Li Shen was considering whether to write a short essay about his tragic experience and publish it in the newspaper.
Li Tai and Li Zhi, however, thought that their father was too biased towards Li Shen, and that such a big matter was just left unresolved.
Seeing his sons at odds, Li Shimin sighed inwardly. Now he was somewhat envious of the White Snake Lady in Li Shen's Legend of the White Snake.
When I saw my son, he was all grown up, so I didn't have to worry about him at all.
"By the way, after today's New Year's Day, when are you planning to start helping your fourth brother lose weight?"
Li Shimin suddenly asked, "Perhaps letting them have more contact could improve their relationship?"
"Well... how about after the Lantern Festival?" Li Shen thought for a moment and replied.
"After the Lantern Festival? Why so long?" Li Shimin looked at Li Shen.
"Ah, it's actually very difficult to lose weight in winter. If you ask me, it's better to wait until summer."
Li Shen explained that wearing more clothes in winter is not conducive to exercise, so people usually lose weight in the summer.
“Summer? No, that’s too long. Doctor Sun said your fourth brother could get sick at any time.”
"What, do you have other things to do?"
Li Shimin shook his head. He was worried about Li Tai's health; he didn't know when Li Tai might collapse.
He hadn't thought much of it before. He believed that people in the Tang Dynasty were fat because of the good living conditions, and most nobles were tall and some were overweight.
It wasn't until Sun Simiao examined Li Tai's pulse and said that being too fat made one prone to illness and shortened one's lifespan that Li Shimin began to take it seriously.
"Nothing's happening yet. I'm just going to Gaohe Manor for a while first," Li Shen replied.
"I heard you built some kind of ice and snow world?" Li Shimin perked up at the mention of this; he had visited it last year.
He thought it was pretty good, mainly because he had never played it before and spent the winter at home.
Li Shen nodded reluctantly. He knew he couldn't hide it anymore, and what he least wanted was for his father to find out and go with him.
Last year I was busy with everything and didn't have much time to relax.
“Father, the one I built this year is rather dangerous and not suitable for older people to play in. If you want to play there, why don’t you wait until next year and I will rebuild a safer one?”
To dissuade his father from going to play, Li Shen tried to persuade him, explaining that this year's slide was taller and longer than last year's, with more curves, and that he had even upgraded the toy cars, making them all iron.
It's faster and goes further.
"Oh? Even more fun than last year?" To everyone's surprise, Li Shimin's eyes lit up.
"No, no, it's even more dangerous than last year." Li Shen quickly waved his hand to correct him. Good heavens, how come it had the opposite effect?
"Heh, dangerous? How dangerous can it be? Is it as dangerous as facing a hail of arrows on the battlefield? Or as dangerous as an enemy's spear formation?"
Li Shimin sneered repeatedly. He had encountered all sorts of dangers, including many during the attack on Luoyang.
He survived even amidst a vast army of soldiers, where arrows flew without regard for their own eyes.
Although he was protected by eight hundred Qin Prince's personal guards and had three thousand Xuanjia soldiers in front of him, encountering powerful bows and crossbows was all about luck.
He didn't just sit back and enjoy the throne; he actually conquered most of the Tang Dynasty's territory.
Looking at his father's proud and arrogant demeanor, Li Shen felt a pang of regret. That foul mouth of his!
Have you forgotten who your father is? He's the kind of person who dared to rebel with just 800 people. What wouldn't he dare to do?
The more challenging something is, the more interested Dad becomes; he just never learns from his mistakes.
Li Shen felt like slapping himself twice.
"What? It seems you don't want me to go?" Li Shimin frowned upon seeing Li Shen's expression.
That bastard is so obvious, does he think I'm in his way?
"No, no, I was just worried that Father might get hurt. It is my honor that Father has deigned to come."
Even though he was unwilling, Li Shen had no choice but to flatter him.
"That's good. Just let me know when you need to go, and I'll travel with you." Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction.
"Haha, tenth brother, since Father is going, I will go with him. I didn't go last year."
Li Chengqian quickly followed up.
"If Father and Big Brother are going, then I want to go too. Tenth Brother, you won't disagree, will you?"
Li Tai chimed in with a comment.
Li Fu and Li Ming, standing to the side, were eager to try, but they dared not say much in this setting.
Li Shen looked at the shameless Li Chengqian and his brother, then at Li Fu and Li Ming, and finally slumped out, waving his hand weakly:
"Go, go, all of you go, even thirteen and fourteen, go together."
Whether you herd one sheep or two, it doesn't matter if you have two lambs or not.
"Thank you, Tenth Brother." The two immediately bowed happily in thanks.
"Um... Daowu, you should bring my elder sister with you when the time comes."
(I learned something for the first time today: an adult has 206 bones, and there are probably around 300 bones after decomposition.)
Evolver.
