Ning, who married Dugu Ningke, was also the youngest prince at that time.
While Concubine Shang was doting on her grandchildren, Li Shouxi continued to receive the royal family members who came to visit.
"Taiping greets the eldest brother!"
"Tuan'er has met his brother!"
"Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Yan!"
"Tuan'er, Taiping, long time no see!"
Looking at the disciples of the Grandmaster with different titles in front of him, Li Shouxi immediately asked Cao Shaoqing to separate them:
The royal family (direct line), clan members (collateral line), and subordinate families!
According to etiquette, the royal family lived in palaces, while clan members and their families lived in mansions.
Therefore, it was arranged that the princess had her own palace and garden, and Li Shouxi safely arranged all the royal children in the newly built Princess Taiping's palace.
When he comes of age, he will reopen the government.
Originally this was not Li Shouxi's job, but after all, they are related by blood, and the eldest brother is like a father.
The families of the subordinates naturally already had their own mansions, and lived in the east of the city;
The children of the royal family lived at the foot of Fengtian Academy, in a flower garden adjacent to the teachers' living area, in a Jiangnan villa with a small bridge and flowing water.
Although the area may not be large, they come here to seek refuge, not to enjoy themselves.
As for Concubine Shang, she was unique and the only concubine who came to seek refuge.
After the emperor's death, the concubine would either be given the title of imperial concubine, or be given a fiefdom by her children, or become a nun.
And Concubine Shang undoubtedly belongs to the second type, and her fiefdom belongs to her children!
Queen, other concubines
Even if Li Shouxi wanted to take her away, Emperor Tang would never agree.
Therefore, after the death of Emperor Tang, Concubine Shang became Concubine Dowager Yan.
"Xi'er, how old is my grandson? You're letting him sit here in the wind? Aren't you afraid he'll catch a cold?"
"Please wait a moment, mother. I will be leaving soon!"
It was only when Concubine Shang saw that Li Shouxi had arranged everything that she spoke up to remind Li Shouxi.
At this time, under the urging of Concubine Shang, everyone followed the officials in the palace and went to their own residential areas.
Not to mention a good night's sleep, at least I have a home here.
Princess Taiping, Li Zhi, Li Yao and other royal family members followed Li Shouxi and first came to the Prince of Yan's Mansion.
Li Shouxi had already ordered people to prepare a reunion dinner for his direct blood relatives.
After entering Prince Yan's Mansion, everyone looked at the villa of the eldest prince with curiosity.
It is not as luxurious as the Chang'an Imperial Palace, but it is extremely closed, and there are basically no male guards in the back garden.
Surrounded by a group of princesses from the royal palace, Concubine Shang, who had finally put her grandson down, came to the palace prepared for her by Li Shouxi.
It is located behind the back garden of Prince Yan's Mansion, separated by only a wall, and is guarded by the three sisters of the Fu family.
The three ninth-rank masters made Princess Taiping sigh at the extravagance of Prince Yan’s Mansion.
The ninth-rank masters around her were recruited little by little.
Most of the ninth-grade masters around Li Shouxi were trained by himself.
The facilities within the palace are naturally the most luxurious.
Glazed sliding floor-to-ceiling windows, embroidered ceramic tiles, and beautiful and luxurious crystal chandeliers
Princess Taiping and other royal family members were extremely envious.
Although it is not as grand and magnificent as the Imperial Palace, its refinement far exceeds that of the Imperial Palace of higher status.
Next to the palace, there is a sunroom covering an acre, a garden with a small bridge and flowing water, and a theater that can accommodate hundreds of people to watch plays. Even Concubine Shang couldn't help but sigh at the extravagance when she saw how meticulous Li Shouxi's arrangements were.
At least these things, even if the Emperor of Tang wanted to repeat them in Chang'an, it would probably cost more than hundreds of thousands of gold.
This is not just a construction issue, there is a lot of black technology involved.
"Your Majesty, the dinner is ready. Shall we start now?"
In the main hall, just as Concubine Shang was asking about the well-being of her daughters-in-law, Cao Shaoqing walked in.
Originally, the affairs of the back garden were presided over by Mei Jian.
But this banquet was too big, and Concubine Shang also called the Four Swords of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, which was obviously her attitude towards her daughters-in-law.
After all, there are four top-level masters and three ninth-grade masters. In Concubine Shang's eyes, since she is interested in them, it is naturally safest to take them into her room.
This is a gifted girl who has reached the ninth level of martial arts.
"Well, take your seat.
Especially Xiaotuaner and Xiaoyaer, they were all hungry after the bumpy ride."
Concubine Shang glanced at the nervous little princes and princesses, and understood the humble feelings of those who lived under other people's control.
Even though Li Shouxi is their elder brother!
But the royal family's affection is as thin as paper.
"Yes, madam!"
As soon as Concubine Shang spoke, Cao Shaoqing hurried downstairs to have the dishes prepared.
Upon seeing this, Concubine Shang looked at Li Shouxi and said:
"Can those Grandmasters take care of 4.0?"
"Don't worry, mother. I have already sent daily necessities to each family, as well as delicacies from land and sea, silk and satin. I will not treat them badly."
"That's good!"
After hearing Li Shouxi's arrangements, Concubine Shang felt relieved.
Soon, a group of eunuchs carried tables and chairs that could be assembled and started to set them up in the hall of the Dowager's Palace.
This is the party drink!
Then, even those graceful maids came dancing, holding delicate jade plates in their bare hands.
With such extravagant enjoyment, Concubine Shang's original concern for Li Shouxi suddenly disappeared.
She was alone in the empty room in Penglai Palace, missing her son and grandson every day.
Li Shouxi, however, lives a life of luxury with beauties, fine wine and delicious food. He doesn't need her, an old mother, to worry about him.
Chapter 337: Seven-aperture Exquisite Heart
"Xiao Ling'er, sit here, sit between me and your aunt!"
Shang Xiuxun is the principal wife, and she and Li Sili sit on the left and right of Shang Guifei, with the eldest princess and the eldest prince in the middle. This is the most appropriate way.
And between Li Sili and Concubine Shang is Li Yan, the eldest son.
One is an older grandson and the other is an older granddaughter. Concubine Shang held the two little heads in her arms with full love and affection.
"Xiu Xun, I wronged you back then.
This guy talked about some bullshit theory of incest back then, but he still ended up marrying you. If I had known, I would have let you into the room earlier."
Concubine Shang really likes her niece.
In addition to the dual relationship, he also gave himself two grandchildren.
The most important thing is that his father Lu Miaozi is Li Shouxi's right-hand man, and his status is no less than that of the Liaodong prefect.
“Aunt is right, my cousin is just too cautious.
But my cousin's theory of close relatives is not wrong, but among our seven clans of the Shang family, my cousin and I are not orthodox close cousins.
My cousin just felt that I was too young and didn’t want to get married! "
As the two chatted and laughed, they both gave Li Shouxi a blank look.
From the rules in Li Shouxi's backyard, we can see that Li Shouxi is still extremely self-disciplined.
Especially Wu Meir, who was sitting next to Li Shouxi, nodded her head in approval with her misty eyes.
You know, she is the queen!
For example, now, she has not given birth to any children, but as the principal wife, she has to sit next to Li Shouxi according to etiquette.
The others sat on one side according to the order in which they entered the palace.
After sitting down, Concubine Shang glanced at Li Shouxi and said solemnly:
"Xi'er, have you really recovered from your injuries?"
"Ok!"
Li Shouxi also knew that this was a concern for everyone.
So he held up the sky with one hand and proved with practical actions that his injuries were healed.
Then, a ball of brilliant red light suddenly appeared in Li Shouxi's palm. It was the innate true energy condensed from the pure yang energy.
As the red light expanded, nine dragons that looked like mayflies gradually emerged from it. They roared and galloped in Li Shouxi's palm, as vigorous and lively as living things.
The pure Yang expanded to within a foot, and the nine golden dragons inside were clearly visible.
This magic-like method was unbelievable to everyone.
There were many masters present, especially the three sisters of the Fu family, all of whom were ninth-grade masters of martial arts.
Naturally, he could feel the dragon energy in Li Shouxi's palm. It was not just the real energy condensed from it. Each strand seemed to have the terrifying true meaning of destroying the world, which was far from comparable to the so-called physical energy.
“This is the Nine Dragons True Qi condensed by the Nine Dragon Stone!
With the golden dragon's luck as the dragon soul, the innate purple energy as the dragon essence, and the King's pure yang foundation, the Nine Dragons True Essence is derived.
One dragon can rival a great celestial realm expert, and nine dragons can contend against land immortals.
Furthermore, if I unify Yongzhou in the future, the true essence contained in the Nine Dragons will allow me to be promoted to the rank of Grand Master."
fizz
Everyone gasped at Li Shouxi's explanation.
The Great Celestial Realm is the first of the three realms. A top master in the Great Celestial Realm may not be weaker than the dual-realm grandmasters of Great Vajra and Great Finger Mystery.
A true dragon is equivalent to the true essence of the Great Celestial Realm, and it also depends on whose true essence,
If it was Li Shouxi's true essence when he was in the Great Celestial Realm, it would be equivalent to that of a top-level grandmaster.
"Brother, can this Nine Dragons True Qi really make up for the loss of the heart meridian?"
“The Nine Dragons True Energy is just a bonus.
The real function of the Nine Dragon Stone is to help my brother forge a seven-aperture exquisite heart.
The average human heart has six orifices, two inside and four outside. This time, my brother was stabbed in the chest with a sword, and there was an extra hole in his heart. He originally wanted to repair it with the Nuwa Stone, but he didn't expect that the Nine Dragon Stone would help him open a hole.
The function of this orifice is to help me completely penetrate the Great Circulation and mobilize the power of heaven and earth.
Not an immortal, but more like an immortal! "
Originally, Li Shouxi had the physique of a Taoist master. After cultivating to the realm of half-step human immortal, he could already mobilize the power of heaven and earth.
Coupled with the special nature of the Nine Dragons True Essence, it can really compete with the immortals on land.
"What? Doesn't that mean that my eldest brother is already at the level of a land immortal?"
"If you haven't crossed the three realms, you are not an immortal!
Moreover, I follow the Way of the King, not the Way of the Martial Arts. Crossing the Three Realms is a bit against the will of Heaven. Therefore, after the failure of the last breakthrough, I decided not to try to cross the Three Realms again in the Year of the King."
With Li Shouxi's background, he could have tried to break through the third realm again long ago.
But Li Shouxi felt it was unnecessary.
Entering the third realm means you are an immortal, and the second realm is just a grand master.
