Empress Zhangsun Is Waiting for Your New Book
Old Li's eyes were dull and he refused to move.
Wang Chen slapped the paper on the table beside him.
"Old Li, you have to fill in this name for me today. Otherwise, you'll be looking down on me.”
"If you're still so distant from me, then I won't be polite.”
Li Shi Min's facial muscles twitched. He didn't know what to say.
After a while, he carefully took out a small jade seal from his body.
"Good, good, good. I'm convinced by you, Head Shopkeeper Wang. I won't keep your name. I'll give you a stamp to show that I begged for it.”
"Are you satisfied now?"
Li Shiming found a cinnabar pen in Wang Chen's shop and pressed it on the paper after painting it red.
Immediately, a huge "Li" appeared in the blank space that Wang Chen had specially left.
"How is it? This is enough to prove that I asked you for the calligraphy treasure, right?”
Although he still couldn't get Li Shiming's name, Wang Chen was still satisfied.
He rolled up the scroll and handed it to Li Shiming.
"Old Li, take it home and take good care of it. It's best if you find a craftsman to frame it.”
"These are words that can be passed down to future generations and bless future generations.”
Li Shiming didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he took the piece of paper with both hands and said with a smile,"I've already begged for this calligraphy treasure. In the future, when you rise to the top, don't forget that I'm just a small merchant in Chang 'an.”
Wang Chen's eyes widened as he put his arm around Li Shimin's shoulder.
"Don't worry. As long as I eat meat, you'll drink soup. When the time comes, you'll be able to eat and drink well!”
Li Shi Min was satisfied. It seemed that getting a promise from Wang Chen made him happier than anything.
Li Er immediately said,"Alright, I'll go back first. I'll find time to find a craftsman to frame it."”
Wang Chen passed the jar of liquor on the table to Li Shi Min as well.
"This jar of wine is for you. Take it back and drink it slowly.”
Li Shi Min hurriedly took the jar of wine with his other hand and left Wang Chen's shop as if he had returned from a fruitful trip.
Soon, a large number of palace guards appeared in the night, protecting Li Shi Min as he headed towards the palace.
Looking at the painting in his hand, Li Er wanted to laugh just thinking about it.
"In the past, it was this one who gave it to others after sealing it.”
"This is the first time I've been asked to stamp it and frame it myself.”
……
After Li Shi Min's team had advanced for a distance, they rushed into the Imperial City before the gates closed.
However, just as he passed through the side door, he saw several eunuchs and palace maids waiting by the side of the road.
Li Shimin was very familiar with these people. They were from the Empress 'Zhangsun Wugou Palace.
He immediately stepped forward.
"This servant greets Your Majesty!" The eunuchs and palace maids bowed together.
"Is the Empress resting?" Li Shiming waved his hand and asked.”
The leading eunuch immediately stood up and said,"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Empress ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare supper and is currently waiting for Your Majesty in the palace. She specially asked this servant and the others to inform Your Majesty.”
"Hmm?" Li Shi Min was confused.
However, he still immediately ordered the team to go to Empress Zhangsun's palace.
There were many women and concubines in the palace, but the one who had the most sincere feelings for Li Shimin was Empress Zhangsun.
When Li Er refused to listen to anyone, Empress Zhangsun could persuade him.
Empress Zhangsun could even influence Li Shiming's attitude towards the princes and ministers.
Empress Zhangsun also contributed greatly to Li Shimin's success in becoming the ruler of the world.
Thus, even though he had just had a sumptuous meal at Wang Chen's place, he still went to Empress Zhangsun's palace.
A few eunuchs and palace maids led the way, while a large number of guards followed and protected them on both sides.
Soon, they arrived at Empress Zhangsun's palace.
Waving his hand, Li Shimin ordered the guards and eunuchs to wait outside. Without informing anyone, he walked into the palace alone.
Of course, he was still holding a calligraphy piece and a small jar of wine.
"Pa da!"
Li Shiming gently pushed open the closed door and saw Empress Zhangsun sitting on a chair, deep in thought.
"Guanyin maid, sorry to keep you waiting."
Li Shimin had always addressed Empress Zhangsun by her nickname. After all, the husband and wife did not have that much etiquette.
Empress Zhangsun immediately stood up and bowed slightly to Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, why didn't you let anyone know that you're here?”
Li Shimin placed the painting and wine jar on the table gently, then walked over quickly and sat Empress Zhangsun down.
"I've already sent someone to inform you, so you'll definitely go out to welcome me. The wind is strong at night, and your body isn't in good condition.”
Li Shimin then sat down beside Empress Zhangsun.
The husband and wife first casually talked about some small things, and Empress Zhangsun suddenly noticed the two things that Li Shimin had brought.
"Your Majesty, what is on this paper?"
Li Shi Min immediately reacted and laughed as if he had thought of something funny.
"This is a priceless treasure. In the future, it will be the inheritance of my Li Tang Imperial Clan. I spent a lot of effort to obtain it.”
Empress Zhangsun looked at Li Shimin in disbelief.
It sounded so serious. Could it be that this was the preface to Wang Xizhi's Lanting Collection?
The emperor of a country actually used the word "beg".
