In Chenxi Palace... Concubine Yinde was very happy during this period. At this time, Li Mingda and Li Zhi were accompanying Concubine Yinde in Chenxi Palace. Li Mingda said that Li Shimin would come here later.

Some people must have questions, Concubine Yinde... that is one of Li Shimin's four noble concubines, and she will be happy about such a little bit of trivial matters.

In fact... Li Shimin is a very dedicated person. His dedicatedness is given to Empress Changsun, but because Li Shimin is the emperor, his dedicatedness is torture to other concubines.

None of the so-called four noble concubines has ever truly received the love of Li Shimin.

Take Yin Fei for example. Li Shimin never loved her. In the original history, she was also a rebellion. Li You ended up being killed and deposed as a commoner, and his biological mother was surrendered. Although Li Chengqian was deposed as a commoner, he saved his life.

Such a gap can be clearly seen whether Yin and Li You are really favored by Li Shimin. If Yin and Li Shimin really had a so-called passionate love that transcends national hatred and family hatred, then Li You must not end up dead.

After all, the Yin family only has one son like Li You. Execution of him would be equivalent to destroying the Yin family's support for the rest of his life. If Li Shimin had feelings for him, it would be better to impose a severe punishment on Li You than to execute him.

Yin lost his only son overnight, and even if he could still save his life, he would be worse than death from now on.

In addition to Yin Fei, there is also Yang Fei, Li Ke's biological mother. It is said that Yang Fei was the princess of the previous dynasty, so he had a respectable status in the harem. In fact, it is not true that Yang Fei is a princess, but she is not a favored princess.

During the fourteen years of Yang Guang's reign, he only spent 186 days in Chang'an. Most of the time he was either on the way to visit or preparing for the tour. So if Princess Yang was favored, she should be with her elder sister, Princess Nanyang, away from Chang'an, just like her elder sister, Princess Yang of Sui.

But the facts are just the opposite. According to Li Ke's birth in the second year of Wude, Princess Yang should have entered the palace in the first year of Wude.

In other words, as soon as Li Yuan ascended the throne in Chang'an, Princess Yang became a member of the backyard of the Qin Prince's Mansion. It is obvious that although Princess Yang was also the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui, she did not receive the attention and favor of her father at all, so she was forgotten in Chang'an and accepted by the newly established Li Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, Li Yuan was very disliked by this princess.

Some people will definitely ask, it is not pleasant to give Concubine Yang to Li Shimin. Of course, it is not pleasant to friends. If Li Yuan really respects this princess, he would marry him as a wife instead of a concubine... whether he is marrying a prince or a minister.

And even if he is a concubine, he should be given to the crown prince Li Jiancheng, rather than to the Qin King Li Shimin, who seemed to have no chance of being with the throne at that time.

After all, Li Jiancheng was still the crown prince nine years ago. If nothing unexpected happened, Princess Yang, as Li Jiancheng's concubine, could become a concubine of the fifth rank or above after the crown prince ascended the throne, and as a concubine of the prince, he would be only a fifth rank or above at most a fifth rank.

Not only that, even if he became Li Shimin's woman, Li Shimin was disliked by Concubine Yang. Concubine Yang's eldest son Li Ke was the worst-paid among the 14 sons of Emperor Taizong of Tang.

Not only did he not have any favors in his life, but he also made small mistakes such as crops and gambling. He was stripped of the title of governor many times, and 600 households were successively stripped of the actual seal, leaving only 200 households.

Li Ke was also scolded by Emperor Taizong of Tang, and was even compared to King Liu Dan of Yan (son of Emperor Wu of Han, who was disgusted by Emperor Wu of Han because he could not be content with himself).

These mistakes and punishments made by Li Ke are recorded in history books and in the epitaphs of Li Ke himself, and are verified by each other.

This is enough to show that Li Shimin's preference for Empress Changsun was a real preference. This preference made the women in the palace be neglected, and they all thought that after Empress Changsun died, there would be someone in the palace who would stand up.

Who knew that Li Shimin actually converted the little love he had for Empress Changsun into fatherly love.

In the seventh year of Zhenguan, Li Ke, who was the same age as Li Tai, went to his fiefdom as usual. Emperor Taizong of Tang not only did not allow Li Tai to go to the fiefdom for a long time, but even issued an edict to let Li Tai move into the Wude Hall to live, but was advised by Wei Zheng. However, Emperor Taizong of Tang did not give up because of his ministers' strong advice.

Once, Li Tai complained to his father that the ministers of the third rank and above in the court did not respect him enough. As a result, when Emperor Taizong of Tang heard that his beloved son was wronged, Thunder Ting was furious and immediately summoned the ministers to the palace to question him sternly. Fang Xuanling and others were so scared that they dared not speak, so Wei Zheng was only stubborn and argued with reason.

In the end, Emperor Taizong of Tang admitted that he forgot his public because of his personal love for Li Tai. However, afterwards, the ministers still had no choice but to do whatever he wanted to do.

................

Compared with this, Yin Fei has been having a very comfortable life these days. Not only did Li Mingda, the gentleman, come to the palace to pay tribute every day, but stay for most of the day. Whenever he talks to Yin Fei about Li You, Yin Fei is very happy.

After Li Mingda came, this little guy Li Zhi often came over to sit down.

Later, Li Shimin also came to Chenxi Palace because of Li Mingda and Li Zhi. Chenxi Palace, which has always been deserted, became so lively.

Yin Fei liked this lively feeling very much, so she also showed infinite maternal love for Li Mingda and Li Zhi.

The delicious food sent by Li You was taken out by Yin Fei. The two little guys were cheaper. With delicious food and fun things, the two little guys came more frequently.

If the two of them come diligently, Li Shimin will come diligently.

"Your Majesty is here..."

Isn't this... Just as Yin Fei was joking with Li Mingda and Li Zhi, Li Shimin also came from outside.

"What are you laughing at... I heard your laughter before I even entered the hall...!"

As soon as Li Shimin arrived, everyone stood up quickly. Li Mingda immediately walked over and held Li Shimin's arm and said, "We are talking about the fifth brother...!"

"Tell me, You'er...what do you mean?" Li Shimin smiled and touched Li Mingda's little head, then sat down.

"Say he's stupid..." Li Mingda giggled.

"You'er is not stupid... His soap is very popular, he must have made a lot of money this time..." Li Shimin smiled at Li Mingda.

But Li Mingda shook his head and said, "I didn't make any profit at all. To be honest, it would be great if I didn't lose money."

"Oh..." Li Shimin said with some disbelief: "You are helping your fifth brother with sloppy eyes... I have heard that your fifth brother can earn 300 guan a day, and 120,000 guan a year."

"Father...you see what my fifth brother earns, but you don't know what my fifth brother spends...!"

"Oh... let's talk about it..." Li Shimin became curious.
