The next day!
Li Shimin was busy dealing with the government affairs, so he went to the imperial garden for a walk.
Not long after, he saw Li Ming and Consort Xu Xian's happy flower bed. His eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile."Who prepared this flower bed?"
"Your Majesty! It was built by the Fourteenth Prince yesterday.”A Right Thousand Bull Guard who knew the inside story said.
"Fourteen? This child was clever and intelligent. Only he could think of building a flower bed in the imperial garden.”Li Shi Min looked at the beautiful bed in front of him and liked it even more.
He quickly walked to the bed and lay down on it, feeling extremely comfortable.
He could smell the fragrance of flowers and a faint scent of happiness.
Li Shi Min felt exceptionally happy, and his mood also became relaxed.
After a while, Li Shiming got up and said,""The flower bed made by the 14th is deeply loved by me. Ten thousand taels of gold, ten pieces of jewelry, and a golden dragon robe!”
"Yes!"
Li Shi Min's personal eunuch saluted and turned to look for Li Ming to announce Li Shi Min's reward.
.......
At this moment, Li Ming was sitting on the high platform of the Right Thousand Bull Guards training ground. There were two palace maids beside him fanning him. He was very satisfied.
When he learned that Li Shiming had rewarded him for the flower bed, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
This…
Li Shi Min, Li Shi Min, are you kidding me?
Beneath the platform, the soldiers of the Right Thousand Ox Guard stood under the scorching sun, their heads held high.
Most of these people were not convinced by Ming Li.
Ming Li put away his thoughts and looked at the soldiers below. He shouted with a serious expression,"I know that some of you are unhappy with me and can voice your opinions. However, even if you voice your opinions, it's useless because I won't listen to you at all!”
"He's just a prince who was lucky enough to be favored. What's there to be proud of?”
The person who spoke was the son of Li Shi Min's cousin.
Li Song's eyes were filled with arrogance when he faced Li Ming. He did have the capital to do so.
During the period of the Sui Dynasty, Li Daoxuan had made great contributions and was the hero of the founding of the Great Tang.
Although he died early, Li Song still lived up to his expectations.
With his extraordinary martial strength, he took over the position of General of Li Daoxuan's Right Thousand Oxen Guard.
Moreover, Li Shi Min treated Li Song even better than some princes.
For example, when Li Chengqian treated Li Song, he would not put on the airs of a Crown Prince.
Li Song's voice was neither loud nor soft, and it was just enough for Li Ming to hear.
Li Ming stood up and walked in front of Li Song. He raised his hand and slapped his face.
Pa!
The crisp sound of a slap rang out, and it directly stunned the proud Li Song.
He was used to being arrogant, and the other princes were polite to him.
That was why he dared to mock Ming Li.
However, he didn't expect Ming Li to act so decisively. It wasn't within his consideration at all.
The Right Thousand Ox Guard soldiers widened their eyes in shock, staring at the scene before them with their mouths agape.
They knew Li Song's position in the palace.
Even the deposed Crown Prince Li Chengqian would not directly slap Li Song just because of a sentence.
However, the Fourteenth Prince in front of him did not play by the rules at all.
What would the general do?
When Li Song came back to his senses, his eyes seemed to spew fire, and his fists were clenched tightly.
"You dare to hit me?" Li Song shouted like a mad dog.
"So what if I hit you? Hit me if you dare!" Li Mingliang and Li Song didn't have the guts either.
Li Song indeed did not dare to return it. After all, Li Ming was a prince!
Therefore, he could only endure it for the time being.
Li Ming sneered. I like it when you can't stand me and can't kill me!
Then, Ming Li said to everyone,"Not convinced? Then you will stand under the sun until you are convinced!”
Then, Ming Li left with the two palace maids.
Most of the Thousand Bull Guard soldiers looked at his back with displeasure.
"Look at his thin physique. What qualifications does he have to lead our Thousand Bull Guards?”
"If he wasn't a prince, I would have fought him and let him know that the soldiers of the Right Thousand Bull Guard aren't to be trifled with.”
"I dare say that he won't be able to withstand a punch from me.”
Li Song was even more disdainful."His mother doesn't even have the position of consort now. A mother's status depends on her son, and a son's status depends on his mother. He can only be a prince forever. The position of Crown Prince will never be his."”
Li Ming, who was far away, heard the voice behind him. He clenched his fists and turned to walk towards Li Song.
F * ck!
You're done playing, right?
If the tiger doesn't show its might, do you really think I'm a sick cat?
However, at this moment, he saw a woman with a cold expression, exquisite features, small cherry lips, and wearing a green muslin dress. Half of her white rabbit was exposed.
The woman's information immediately appeared in front of Li Ming's eyes, and he stopped in his tracks.
Name: Ruan Ling, Position: Daughter of the Jingzhao Prefecture Magistrate, Difficulty: D
[Weakness: Hypocrite, vanity, hypocrisy, pursuit of fame and glory.]
Conquest: 0%, Loyalty: 0%
Immediately after, Ruan Ling came in front of Li Song and said unhappily,""Didn't you want to take me to see the fabric today? Why are you here at the training ground?”
When Li Song saw Ruan Ling's arrival, he suppressed most of his anger and hurriedly said,""I'll take you there now."
Ruan Ling was the woman he was pursuing.
Naturally, he smiled and tried to curry favor with her.
However, at this moment, Ming Li placed his hands behind his back and said with a playful look,"Li Song, did I tell you to move?"
As Ming Li spoke, he felt a gaze on him.
It was Ruan Ling!
Ruan Ling looked at Li Ming. She frowned slightly at first, but soon, her eyes flashed with a bright light.
Outside the palace, she was known as the coldest woman. No matter who she was to, she would reject people thousands of miles away.
Actually…
She just hadn't met a man that she could submit to!
And the man who could make her submit had to have power.
To put it bluntly, it was the emperor or the prince.
Unfortunately, Li Shimin was old and hadn't chosen a female talent for a long time. She would be past the age to choose a female talent in another year, and there was no hope left.
She dreamt of being favored by a certain prince, but the reality was that she had never had the chance to become close friends with any prince.
As a result, she even had the thought of entering the palace to be a palace maid. After all, a pavilion close to the water would gain the moon first. If she could attract the attention of the emperor or a prince, wouldn't her dream come true?
However, his parents did not agree, so he could only give up on this idea.
In the end, she could only take a step back and ask for the next best thing. She wanted to reject Li Song, a relative of the royal family.
Now that Liming suddenly appeared in front of her, her hope was instantly rekindled.
This was the Fourteenth Prince.
After the end of the Lishan Paddock, it was the most popular one.
If…
