Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

After going to the warehouse to pick up new perfumes, soaps, blue and white porcelain, and several large mirrors, Yuchi Baoqi took a carriage with a large number of people to the palace city.

Cheng Chuliang is the gatekeeper of Chengtian Gate today, and the relationship between the two families is already good. Seeing Yuchi Baoqi coming, Cheng Chuliang came over to search him personally: "My father asked me to ask you if you can take me with you on this expedition."

Yuchi Baoqi was a little confused: "You will inherit the title of Duke in the future, why take the risk?"

Cheng Chuliang hammered Yuchi Baoqi's chest: "It's unjustifiable for us, the heirs of military generals, not to go to the battlefield. Even if my father doesn't let me go, I have to follow him secretly."

Yuchi Baoqi also knew from the remaining memories that he had wanted to go to the battlefield since he was a child, and wanted to make a name for himself like his father.

He touched his chin and stared at Cheng Chuliang: "You go to Zhuangzi tomorrow to see my father. He is now in charge of the training. This time we are going to subvert the previous combat model and method in fighting Tubo."

Seeing that he was relieved, Cheng Chuliang let out a sigh of relief, put his arm around Yuchi Baoqi's shoulders and said, "Xiaobao, I knew you would let your brother go. It means that my brother did not love you in vain when he was a child."

Yuchi Baoqi punched him in the chest: "No one can forget you. Without you, I would have been beaten so many times. It's hard to say whether I would survive or not."

Cheng Chuliang patted Yuchi Baoqi on the back: "Go in, I will go to Zhuangzi for training tomorrow, you can go about your business."

Yuchi Baoqi didn't hesitate, got on the carriage and went to the Lizheng Hall.

Queen Sun and Princess Changle, the foreign ministers of the Li Zheng Palace, were already waiting for him. The servants came to report that the Duke of Chang'an County had arrived and brought a large convoy of carriages with him.

Yuchi Baoqi arrived first, and after getting off the car, he directly complained: "Mother-in-law, you don't care about my father-in-law! You ask me to do things every day, let me do things. He is getting lazy now! He is only over 30 , it’s a good time to work hard, and use less of us kids.”

Empress Changsun touched Yuchi Baoqi's head: "It's your father-in-law's fault. How can he always give you orders like this? You must have been very busy during this period. I will have dinner with my mother-in-law today. I have already made arrangements for you. Love food.”

Yuchi Baoqi nodded, turned sideways and took Li Lizhi's hand.

Li Lizhi was also a little shy: "Oh, what are you doing? You are always out of character. It's true, Father, you have made so many contributions and still don't reward you. I've been angry with him many times."

Yuchi Baoqi looked at Li Lizhi with a smile: "If you don't give a reward, don't give a reward. It's useless to ask for power, you can't spend all the money, and it's not a big deal. It's useless to have too many things. By the way, I want it this time I went on an expedition with my father, and my father-in-law said that we would get married when I come back."

Li Lizhi was a little unhappy: "Can't you not go? If you are just in case..."

"Shut up! Li Zhi, what are you talking about? When the men in the family go to war, they say something depressing. We women can only take care of the house for them when the men are away. You don't have to worry about anything else!" Zhangsun The queen was a little angry. Since ancient times, when a man goes to war, the female family members at home are not allowed to grieve or cry, otherwise it will be regarded as unlucky.

Yuchi Baoqi comforted him: "Don't worry, your future husband is a great hero. This expedition to Tubo must make him know how powerful I am, and if he happens to kill the Turks as well. Let's not talk about this anymore, let's take a look. Let’s take a look at the new products produced in the workshop.”

Li Lizhi felt better after hearing what he said: "If you don't send them here, my mother and I will be annoyed to death. Do you know how troublesome it is to deal with so many concubines in the harem?"

Yuchi Baoqi scratched his head: "Aren't you busy? I've sent it now. Look, the new perfume has a longer lasting fragrance, a more natural fragrance release, and a long and elegant woody aroma."

Queen Changsun and Princess Changle tried it, and Queen Changsun said: "It's fresh and elegant. My mother-in-law likes this taste very much. Is it difficult to make it? If there is less, my mother-in-law will only use it herself."

Yuchi Baoqi smiled and said: "This is tailor-made for you. I won't give it to anyone else. And this floral and fruity one is exclusive to Li Zhi. Wife, try it quickly. If you don't like it, I will make it again." alley."

Li Lizhi opened the bottle cap, sprayed it, and smelled it: "Bright and lively, I like it so much, you are so kind to me."

Yuchi Baoqi pointed to the carriage behind and said to Empress Changsun: "These are daily necessities such as perfume, soap and some small hand-held mirrors. Mother-in-law, you can arrange it yourself. Give them away as they should. I heard from my father-in-law that the whole harem wants them." I want these things. My mother-in-law is the master of the harem, so it is up to my mother-in-law to distribute these things."

Li Lizhi uncovered a red cloth on the carriage and said in surprise: "Ah, such a big mirror. Is this the life-size mirror you mentioned before?" Little stars were already shining in Li Lizhi's eyes.

Yuchi Baoqi said: "It's a life-size mirror. It costs three yuan to send it to the palace this time. My father-in-law, mother-in-law, and you are all together. It's very difficult to make this thing without any flaws. We have produced a lot of them recently. Just three yuan." qualified."

Empress Changsun said angrily: "You said you bring so many good things every time you come here. This time you are going to marry Li Zhi after the battle. Otherwise, you can call me Queen Mother like Li Zhi."

Yuchi Baoqi scratched his head: "Okay, let's call you Queen Mother. Queen Mother, this time I go to Tubo and I'll bring you some delicious food, like grapes, cold melons, walnuts, etc. Then we'll build a few greenhouses here in Chang'an. There’s something to eat all year round.”

Empress Changsun saw the uneasiness in Li Lizhi's eyes and said, "Good son-in-law, you and Li Lizhi should go to the imperial garden for a walk. The queen mother should distribute these things. It is not appropriate to keep them piled here."

When Yuchi Baoqi saw that the two of them were alone, he pulled Li Lizhi and ran away.

Sitting next to the rockery in the Imperial Garden, Li Lizhi clutched Yuchi Baoqi's sleeve tightly, "Do we really have to go? Can we not not go?" Li Lizhi begged.

Yuchi Baoqi hugged Li Lizhi into his arms: "I don't want to go either, but they asked us to send the princess to get married in Tubo. They even asked you by name to get married. That's why my father-in-law would be so furious. If it were the other way around, My concubine may have her father-in-law agree, but is this right? Is it right to exchange a woman's future life, happiness, and even her body for a short period of peace?"

Li Lizhi shed a line of tears: "My father never told me about the marriage. This Tubo deserves to die!"

Yuchi Baoqi stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears: "I don't want you to get married, and I don't want my Tang Dynasty woman to get married. I also believe that peace bought with women is not a stable peace. If they want to fight, then they will fight. During this expedition, I will go to the royal court of Tubo. Don’t they like to get married? I will kidnap the beautiful female relatives of their relatives and give them to my father-in-law, and the unsightly ones will be used as palace maids.”

Li Lizhi chuckled: "When the Queen Mother knows that it's time to beat you, why don't you keep a few for yourself?"

Yuchi Baoqi looked at the sun that was about to set in the distance: "I am so small-minded that I can only pretend to be you."
