Chapter 721: Father-Daughter Conversation
Two days later, in the bedroom of Li Shimin in the Ganlu Palace.
Today's weather is good, the sun is warm in the sky, the flowers and plants in the spring are also exuding vitality, a gentle spring breeze caresses, the fresh breath outside blows into Li Shimin's bedroom, diluting the strong smell of Chinese medicine inside.
"Father, the sun outside is very good today, and after lunch at noon, a few younger sisters and I will push you outside to go around, don't always be bored in the house, otherwise you will be sick if you are not sick!" The son said softly while beating Li Shimin's back.
Since waking up last time, Li Shimin has miraculously not been in a coma anymore, and his spirit has improved a lot, and he has also begun to eat some easily digestible liquid food, which makes people who don't know very excited, thinking that Li Shimin's body will slowly improve.
However, Sun Simiao and others reported to Li Su and others, this is a normal symptom of five qi failure, Li Shimin's internal organs are burning the last essence qi, so it will cause the illusion that the condition is improving, but when the essence is consumed, the body will collapse immediately, and now they are prescribing some medicine to supplement lean qi, but it can only delay this process.
Li Shimin's originally pale face also showed a little blood, and his spirit was also very good, and he did seem to be in good condition. After he heard his son's words, he also laughed and said, "It's okay to go out for a walk, but your younger sisters took a few of Liulang's children shopping, I'm afraid they won't be able to come back at noon today!" ”
The son also smiled after hearing this, in fact, yesterday the five sisters took Li Mian and Youlan and a few other children to the street to play, and specially took them to the cold drink shop that Li Su helped them open, and now this cold drink shop has been officially renamed Princess Cold Drink Shop. The shareholders behind it are the princesses of the sons, and they are the No. 1 cold drink shop in Datang. The princess cold drink shop has formed a model of interlocking stores, and even some branches have opened in Daqi. This also gave the sons and daughters a lot of income.
Chang'an is so big, naturally it can't be done in one day, so today Li Mian and Youlan are taken by the four of them to play in Changshan and Xincheng. Because the son-in-law was worried about his father's health, he did not accompany a few nephews and nieces anymore, but went into the palace to take care of Li Shimin.
After chatting a few words with his son, Li Shimin suddenly changed the topic and said seriously: "Son, don't blame your father for being wordy, you are already twenty years old. It's time to get married, and this time you have also seen that my father is old, maybe one day it will be gone, my father doesn't want to wait until the day I die, son, you are still alone! ”
"Father, don't talk nonsense, now that your body has slowly improved, you will definitely recover as before, and you will live a long life. As for my marriage, this kind of thing is not in a hurry at all, I haven't thought about it yet, and I heard that there is a Dean Zhao of the Academy of Sciences there in the sixth brother. People are also girls, and they are all twenty-five or sixteen years old and have not married, what am I afraid of when I am only twenty? The son began to come up with his own tricks to deal with his father's forced marriage. The front is coquettish, and the back is messing around.
"Actually, I think that Shangguan Ting is good, and you have tested him for so long. Until now, I've been hiding my identity, so I might as well find a chance. I mentioned this matter to his father, Shangguan Yi, and I believe that their Shangguan family will definitely ......."
"No, father, don't worry about it, I'm ...... Tingzhi and I are just gentlemen's friends, drinking tea and chatting every day, this kind of life is very good and peaceful, I don't want him to know my identity for the time being! Before Li Shimin's words were finished, he was interrupted by his son, and his delicate face also had a bit of anxiety on it.
Looking at his daughter's anxious appearance, Li Shimin, who was a person who came over, naturally immediately understood, it seems that her daughter is not without feelings for that Shangguan Tingzhi, but the relationship between the two has been maintained for too long, and now the son doesn't know how to break it, which is the same as Liulang's guess!
In fact, just like Li Shimin, the son is not without feelings for Shangguan Tingzhi, but she has admired Li Shimin and Li Su since she was a child, so she is determined to find a husband like her father and brother, but Shangguan Tingzhi is very different from Li Shimin and Li Su in any aspect, and it can even be said unceremoniously that Shangguan Tingzhi's talents in all aspects are very ordinary, and even his talents are not particularly outstanding.
Of course, Shangguan Tingzhi is not without advantages, for example, he is a seed of infatuation, especially after seeing his son, he began to pursue unremittingly, almost rain or shine in two years, and even once went to the Taoist temple because of the rain, but he was drenched in a serious illness and almost lost his life.
It was also that time, Shangguan Tingzhi did not go to the Taoist temple for the first time for a few days, so the son was also worried for several days, and later when Shangguan Tingzhi dragged a little body to the Taoist temple, although the son was calm on the surface, but in fact, his heart was like being thrown into a small pebble, rippling bursts.
Since that time, the son has really moved his heart to Shangguan Tingzhi, and when he gets along with the other party, he can't help but feel a little sweeter in his heart, but with the deepening of the relationship between the two, the son has more worries in her heart, she is worried that Shangguan Tingzhi will bring some other more complicated things to this relationship after knowing her identity, so she didn't dare to have a showdown with the other party.
It is not the first time that Li Shimin has persuaded his son-in-law to get married, but every time he has failed to achieve the effect of persuasion, this time is naturally no exception, no matter what he says, his son-in-law just disagrees, even if he is old, it is useless to move out the reason that he hopes to see his son-in-law marry before his death, because the son-in-law believes that his father's condition is improving, and he is not yet sixty years old, and the days to come are still long, so she is not in a hurry at this time.
In the end, Li Shimin had to sigh helplessly, gave up his plan to persuade his son, and began to chat with his son about some family life, such as the character of Li Su's children, whether they are healthy, and so on. Speaking of which, although Li Shimin woke up, Li Su was worried about disturbing his rest, so he never brought Li Qi and them to see his grandfather.
For Li Shimin's questions, the son-in-law also answered them one by one, and when it was noon, she also accompanied her father to lunch, and then asked the eunuch to carry Li Shimin to the wheelchair, and pushed her father around the garden.
It is now March, it is the season when the flowers are full of flowers, the flowers in the imperial garden, coupled with the warm spring breeze, make Li Shimin also in a good mood, and finally fall asleep in the warm sunshine. The son was worried that his father would catch a cold, so he pushed Li Shimin back to the main hall and personally helped him to bed, and then withdrew.
After leaving the Ganlu Palace, the son did not go back to the palace where he lived, but thought that the sixth brother Li Su didn't seem to go out today, Li Qi and Li Mian's group of children were taken out to play by Changshan and Xincheng again, and she just happened to go to the sixth brother to talk about her heart, especially about herself and Shangguan Ting, and now she really wants to hear what advice the sixth brother who loves her the most?
When the son arrived at the Qi Palace, he happened to meet the old housekeeper Gao Zhong at the gate of the mansion directing the servants to clean up. Gao Zhong also didn't come back for more than ten years, so this time he also returned to Chang'an with Li Su, and his feelings for Qi Wangfu were deeper, even if there were often people cleaning in the mansion, but he still felt dissatisfied, so after he came back, he had been personally directing the servants to tidy up.
"Manager Gao, is the sixth brother in the mansion?" The son jumped out of the carriage, walked into the gate of the palace and asked, the guards in front of the palace knew her, so they naturally would not stop her.
"Princess Qiyu, Your Majesty...... Uh~ Old slave damn it! His Royal Highness is talking to the princess in the inner house, do you want the old slave to take you there? "Gao Zhong is old, and he is used to calling Li Su His Majesty in Daqi, so this is a slip of the tongue.
The son looked at the gray-haired old manager, and naturally he wouldn't blame it, so he smiled and said: "Then it's troublesome Manager Gao, but you are so old, you usually have to pay more attention to your body, and some things are left to other people to do!" ”
Hearing that Princess Jinyang cared about her body, Gao Zhong was very moved, and immediately spoke: "Your Royal Highness Xie cares, the old slave is a hard worker, and when he is free, he is uncomfortable, but he works more, and this body is comfortable, for example, like last time, when the princess gave birth to a little prince, I took care of most of the affairs of the palace alone......"
When someone gets older, he begins to like to nag, such as Gao Zhong, and his son just cares about him, and as a result, he nagging non-stop, and all of them are inconsequential words.
"Okay, I don't need you to lead the way, I'll go find the sixth brother myself!" The son was afraid that the old manager Gao would continue to nag like this, so he immediately interrupted the other party's words, turned around and fled. But even if she left, Gao Zhong didn't mean to stop, she still talked endlessly, but the corners of Gao Chong's wrinkled eyes showed a smile of conspiracy.
The son has been running around in the palace of King Qi since he was a child, so he is naturally very familiar with this place, and most of the people in the mansion know her, so the son quickly entered the inner house, and then found the courtyard where Wen Xin lived before.
Today, Li Mian and Youlan are not here, so the palace seems a little deserted, and the same is true of the courtyard where Wen Xin lives, when the son enters the courtyard, she finds that there is no one in the courtyard, until she walks outside the living room in the courtyard, she hears the faint sound of Li Su and Wen Xin talking in the living room.
Hearing that the sixth brother was really here, the son was so happy that he wanted to call the sixth brother loudly, and then rushed into the living room, but before she could speak, she suddenly heard a long sigh from Li Su in the living room, and then said: "My father's time is running out, and I, as a son, can only watch, but I can't help a little, I am really ashamed to be a son!"
