Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"Besides, if we wait until the banquet is over, it might be dark."

Luo Kexin was a little worried at the moment, "I'm afraid that my husband will leave early, and then be played by those censors and caring people."

"Also, husband, what are you asking me to wait here for?" Li Qiu didn't answer Luo Kexin's question.

It wasn't until the carriage stopped, Luo Kexin got out of the carriage, and saw the Luo Mansion in front of him, that he finally realized it.

"Come on, let's go in and see."

"Actually, I've always had someone clean it here."

"There is also Grandpa's room, the room you used to live in, and it has always remained the same."

While speaking, Li Qiu took Luo Kexin's hand and slowly walked into the mansion that Luo Kexin was extremely familiar with.

When looking at the familiar flowers, plants and trees in front of him, the furnishings in the house, and all of these, a sense of sadness rushed into Luo Kexin's heart instantly.

In fact, this year's New Year's Day, Luo Kexin is very happy and joyous despite the appearance.

But deep in her heart, there was always a concern.

That was my former home, and Luo Mansion.

However, she is a girl, and now she is married and a woman. She can't do anything like ancestor worship.

(In that era, rules and etiquette have been deeply rooted, especially in terms of men and women, family inheritance, and sacrifices.)

But she never expected that her husband was always thinking about these things for her.

When the two of them walked into the old prince's room together, Luo Kexin couldn't bear the longing for his grandfather with whom he depended on each other.

He threw himself into Li Qiu's arms and burst into tears.

And Li Qiu couldn't help but think of the old prince's appearance before he was alive, and the scenes where the old prince taught, helped and instructed him.

The eye sockets are also hot, and I can't help feeling sad and sad.

After being sad for a long time, Li Qiu and Luo Kexin respectfully kowtowed and offered incense to the old prince.

It was not until then that the two of them came out of their sad state of mind.

"When we look back, let's replace the plaque of the Luo Mansion with the Peking Palace, okay?"

"We live here in our spare time, or when we usually enter the palace too late."

"After all, sometimes, the Furong Garden outside the city is not very convenient."

"In the future, let's have a few more sons."

"Then give one of them the surname Luo, to inherit the title of King of Peking and the incense of the Luo family."

"It's also for the peace of mind of grandpa and your father's spirit in heaven."

Listening to Li Qiu's words, Luo Kexin was so moved that tears flowed down her face again.

At this moment, she also felt emotional in her heart: God must have been so cruel and unfair to her that she sent down this husband to compensate her.

At this moment, there were several carriages and dogs barking outside the door one after another.

After receiving the news from Li Qiu, Wu Jue forced Ake to accompany him, and they also came here together.

Along with them came the pair of adult border herds and two pairs of young border herds.

Now no matter where he goes, these two pair of little border shepherds have become Wu Jue's favorite and must be taken with him.

Chapter 352 Hurry up and find that boy Li Qiu

After the arrival of Wu Jue, A Ke, some servants and these border shepherds, the whole mansion also has a lot of vitality and festive atmosphere.

That night, Li Qiu badly planned to try to persuade the two of them to sleep together.

But it didn't work out.

In this way, their family lived in Chang'an City for one night.

On the second day, I plan to go to the streets and take a casual walk in the Dongxi Market to see the excitement.

By the way, I will buy some gifts, so that I can go to Ying Guogong's mansion, as well as Chai Shao and Princess Pingyang's mansion to pay a visit tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Today is the day when Li Shimin and Empress Changsun lead the royal family and court officials to visit the Supreme Emperor.

Needless to say, Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao must go.

As for the samurai Xun, as the closest minister to the Supreme Emperor, he was also invited exceptionally.

As for Li Qiu, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't have the qualifications.

Of course, he did not receive any notice from the Ministry of Rites or the court.

Last year, Li Shimin invited Li Qiu temporarily because he was worried that the emperor would run away and the scene would be embarrassing.

This year, the relationship between Li Shimin and the Supreme Emperor has eased a bit, at least they won't go berserk and embarrass Li Shimin.

So Li Shimin didn't take Li Qiu with him.

In order to avoid any conflicts between Li Qiu and the courtiers in time, it would only cause trouble.

However, things did not develop as expected by Li Shimin and others.

In the Da'an Palace, Prince Li Chengqian, King Wu Li Ke, King Wei Li Tai, King Qi Li You and other princes all ran to the Supreme Emperor to perform their filial piety.

Everyone smiles so sweetly, caring and greetings are so careful, some princes serve tea, and Wei Wang beats his legs.

King Wu took the initiative to ask about the heroic past that the Supreme Emperor liked to recall most.

but……

Regarding the hypocrisy of these grandsons, the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan couldn't hide a trace of loss and disgust in his heart.

Since the change of Xuanwumen, after he came to Da'an Palace, these sons of Li Shimin made him feel more chilled than Li Shimin.

And under Li Yuan's old eyes that have experienced the world's affairs and hardships, who can they deceive with these little tricks?

So, after enduring it for a while, Supreme Emperor Li Yuan sighed softly, and then looked around.

"Oh? Why didn't that kid Li Qiu come today?"

Hearing the Supreme Emperor's question, the faces of the crown prince, Li Ke, Li Tai and other princes who had been surrounding the area all changed suddenly, and a wave of anger arose in their hearts.

Hmph, you are just a foolish old man confined in a deep palace, don't you really think that you are the Supreme Emperor?

It was because of your stupidity that you almost killed the emperor and all of us.

There is only a thin line between life and death!

Now that your father is benevolent and filial, that's why he respects you so much. One must be self-aware, right? !

Li Shimin, who was not far away, couldn't help but look at each other with the queen after hearing the question from the Supreme Emperor, and sighed softly in his heart.

What are you really afraid of, what are you coming to.

As for those officials, when they heard the words of the Supreme Emperor, they were also unhappy.

Secretly cursing this Li Qiu, who knows what magic method was used to make the Supreme Emperor love and look up to him so much?

The last time he married a concubine, didn't he finally move out the Supreme Emperor, which made them helpless?

At this time, the samurai Xun smiled and eased the atmosphere, "The Supreme Emperor, Li Qiu and his children are free and unrestrained. I don't know where they have gone at this time."

"Why don't I bring their children to visit your old man tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

Hearing what the warrior Xun said, the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan snorted, "After all, there are some people who dislike Li Qiu's background and status."

"Even because you are too close to me, you don't want him to come?!"

"I'm not old-fashioned yet, I understand all of this!"

However, he still gave the warrior Xun face, and he never mentioned Li Qiu again after this remark.

At this time, it was time for Li Shimin, Empress Changsun, and the princes to present gifts to the Supreme Emperor.

The Supreme Emperor sat there, and someone below listed the gifts in order and presented them one by one.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were the first to present many practical and beautiful glass vessels, as well as a lot of silk and satin, gold and silver playthings and accessories.

These things are quite practical for Da'an Palace.

Those gold and silver playthings and accessories can also be used for those little princes and princesses to play and have fun with.

What Prince Li Chengqian presented was a top-quality inkstone, which is also good for collection.

What Wu Wang Li Ke presented was a piece of jade from Weizhou and Minzhou, which was a specialty, and it was not bad.

Wei Wang Li Tai presented two precious out-of-print ancient books, which are very rare.

But after that, the gifts from these princes changed a bit.

Qi Wang Li You presented an extremely sharp dagger.

It was also brought to him by Li Ke when he came back this time, and it happened to be dedicated to the Supreme Emperor.

After him, Li Yin, Li Yun, Li Zhen and other princes presented more and more sophisticated gifts.

Some gave tiger charms of the Qin Dynasty, some gave precious bows, and the worst thing was a good horse.

As their presents were presented, Li Yuan, who was not feeling well in his heart, became more and more unhappy.

Normally speaking, as long as it is a man, especially a hero like Li Yuan, what he likes most is nothing more than military books, tiger charms, precious swords, BMWs and the like.

But now, Li Yuan's situation has undergone earth-shaking changes.

What people are most afraid of, and also the most taboo to mention, are often these things that symbolize power and freedom.

Especially after seeing the last BMW, Li Yuan flicked his sleeves angrily and snorted, "Forget it, today's gift is fine."

"I don't care about any of these things. Remember to take them back when you leave later."

"By the way, there is also that good horse. I am a junior in Da'an Palace, and I don't have any extra space to raise it."

"You still give it to the generals in the army, maybe it can be useful."

Seeing the Taishang Huang being furious, the atmosphere in the venue was also extremely embarrassing.

Those ministers, at this time, cherished their feathers even more, they muffled their heads, looked at their noses, their noses at their mouths, and their mouths at their hearts.

As for Li Shimin, seeing this situation, he was also the prince who gave the emperor's horse to death with rage.

If he didn't care about the occasion, he really wanted to go up and kick him.

Come to pay homage to the Supreme Emperor, you simply don't have a brain!

In fact, it's not his fault.

According to the etiquette system, the gifts he gave could not overlap with the gifts given by the previous father and brothers.

But so many people in front gave away what they could, leaving much less for them behind.

At this time, thanks to the presence of the warrior Xun, with a few words, he coaxed the Supreme Emperor to drink tea, play chess, and chat.

Only then did the condensed atmosphere here ease up a little.

However, if it continues in this way, there may be some mishaps and misfortunes that will happen on the wine table after a few glasses of wine for the Supreme Emperor.

Hence, Li Shimin sighed softly, and quietly told his eldest grandson Wuji: "Auxiliary machine, go and get that kid Li Qiu for me!"

Chapter 353 Ignorant People

While the warrior Xun was playing chess with the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, a group of people beside him were also chatting with the Supreme Emperor.

Praise Taishang Huang for his good chess skills.

Afterwards, under the guidance of the samurai Xun, the topic turned to horse training, which the Supreme Emperor was quite good at back then.

When this matter was mentioned, the Taishanghuang was really in a better mood, and once again told some interesting stories from many years ago.

At this moment, Changsun Wuji, who was sweating on his forehead, finally brought Li Qiu to the Da'an Palace.

Previously, after receiving Li Shimin's order, Changsun Wuji didn't dare to ride in a carriage, so he rode his horse and led his people to Furong Garden.

But when they came to Furong Garden, they were told that Li Qiu and the princess did not come back last night, but went to live in the Beiping Palace in Chang'an City.

This time, Changsun Wuji was so anxious that he quickly led people back to the city and rushed to the Peking Palace.

Fortunately, they arrived one step earlier, and stopped Li Qiu in time when Li Qiu, Luo Kexin, and Wu Jue were just going out.
