It was getting late, Li Zhi and Li Mingda said goodbye to Li Hao and went back to the palace, early the next morning, Li Mingda went to find Li Shimin, but found that Li Zhi had come early to ask Li Shimin for peace.

The brother and sister persuaded Li Shimin together to let him learn boxing, Li Shimin was reluctant, to be honest, he didn't believe that practicing boxing could cure the disease, he wanted to take advantage of his time to deal with more political affairs, and he also knew that his time was running out.

However, a son and a daughter kept persuading him, Li Mingda was so anxious that his tears were about to fall, Li Shimin had no choice but to agree, so the three of them found a clean garden and began to practice boxing.

Li Shimin is also a person who has practiced martial arts, although he is now older, his hands and feet are not good, but it is not a problem to practice a simple boxing method, and this Peiyuan boxing method is very slow, very gentle, not much faster than Taijiquan, and the move footwork is also simplified, not very difficult, Li Shimin only learned for a while, and then learned the boxing method, but the breathing rhythm has not been fully mastered, Li Zhi and Li Mingda instructed him to adjust the breathing rhythm, gradually, Li Shimin began to enter the state, there is a momentum that can not be stopped at all.

He is now weak, originally out of breath after walking for a while, but after adjusting the rhythm of breathing, he did not feel tired at all when he boxed, and he practiced for most of the hour before stopping, and there was a little sweat on his body, and he felt a lot more energetic, Li Shimin immediately shouted magically, and his mood suddenly became extraordinarily good, he originally thought that he would die soon, but he did not expect that this set of boxing techniques taught by Li Hao would have such a miraculous effect, he decided to insist on practicing for one or two hours every day in the future, according to this trend, he is confident that he will last for several more years.

Li Zhi and Li Mingda could also feel the change in Li Shimin's state, but they made their brother and sister very happy, Li Mingda happily hugged Li Shimin's arm and said: "Father, this punch is really effective, you see that your complexion is much better than just now." ”

Li Shimin nodded happily and said: "Yes, this boxing method is really magical, and my father will have to practice diligently every day in the future, when Li Hao said that this boxing method can strengthen the body and prolong life, my father also said that he was boasting, but I didn't expect it to be true, Zhi'er, Mingda, in the future, this boxing method, the two of you must also practice diligently every day, and you must not slack off." ”

"Yes! Father! The brother and sister responded happily, and Li Mingda said again, "Father, Mr. said, this set of Peiyuan boxing method, if it is practiced at sunrise in the early morning, it is the most effective, and every sunrise in the future, Mingda will come to accompany his father to practice boxing together." ”

"Okay, Mingda is the most filial." Li Shimin happily touched Li Mingda's green hair, suddenly his expression darkened, and he sighed helplessly, "You have grown so big in a blink of an eye, my father really hopes that you will always be as big as when you were a child, and your father will treat you as a treasure and hold it in the palm of your hand, how good." ”

Li Mingda blinked his big eyes, a little coquettish, and said: "Even if Mingda grows up, he is also the treasure of his father's palm, and his father loves Mingda the most." ”

Li Shimin nodded with a smile and said slowly: "Mingda, you are sixteen this year, and it is time to leave your father and find a good family." ”

Li Mingda trembled when he heard this, lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes fluttered twice, and said: "Mingda doesn't marry, Mingda will always accompany his father." ”

"Nonsense." Li Shimin feigned anger and said, but with a smile on his face.

Li Mingda suddenly knelt on the ground, and said with a solemn face: "Father, the son really doesn't want to get married, so the son wants to always accompany the father." ”

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, then pulled her up, stared at her eyes for a moment, and said slowly: "Mingda, you have always been well-behaved and obedient, quite sensible, you should know, men should get married, women should marry, men don't matter, as long as you have the ability, even if you are thirty or forty years old, you can marry a wife, but how short is a woman's youth, if you miss this great time, you will only regret it for the rest of your life, how can your father delay your life because he is reluctant to you." ”

I have to say that Li Shimin is old, but he began to really care about family affection, at this age, any grand cause is faint for him, after experiencing Li Tai and Li Chengqian, he now begins to really care about his children, Li Mingda is his most beloved daughter, for her lifelong events, Li Shimin naturally does not dare to be ambiguous.

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Mingda couldn't speak, because she also felt that Li Shimin was reasonable, she knew that if her father delayed her, both of them would eventually regret it for the rest of their lives, and after being silent for a long time, she nodded and said softly: "What my father taught me is that Mingda understands." ”

Li Zhi, who had been beside him without speaking, stepped forward at this time and said, "Father, I know about my sister's affairs, and my son also wants to help Zhang Luo." ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "Then dare to be kind, do you have any good proposals?" ”

Li Zhidao: "As the saying goes, the life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, but Sister Mingda is the most beloved pearl of the father's palm, how can she be treated idlely, the son proposed, first ask Sister Mingda what she wants." ”

In fact, he wanted to give Li Mingda a chance to say who he liked in his heart, and he knew that his sister liked Li Hao.

Li Shimin naturally understood Li Zhi's thoughts, turned his head and asked Li Mingda with a smile, and said, "Mingda, Chang'an is full of talents, can there be someone you like?" ”

Although Li Mingda likes Li Hao, she is embarrassed to say it, after all, she is a girl, and her skin is not so thick, so she said: "Back to my father, the good couple in the eyes of the sons and daughters must be a hero." ”

Li Shimin laughed and said: "My daughter's family likes big heroes, besides, do you have any other requirements?" ”

Li Mingda continued: "He must also be all-round in civil and military affairs, and be wise. ”

"Well......" Li Shimin stroked her beard pretendedly, although she knew that Li Mingda was talking about Li Hao, but he still had to take care of his daughter's face, and pretended to mutter, "You have to be all-round in civil and military affairs, and you have to be wise, there are not many such people." ”

Li Zhi rolled his eyes and proposed: "Father, how about holding a competition to recruit horses, which just happens to make Chang'an lively." ”

Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard this, nodded and smiled at Li Zhi, and said: "Well, Zhi'er, your proposal is very good, since Gar Dongzan led the troops to Chang'an, our Chang'an is not as prosperous as before, this method can really make Chang'an lively, and it can also find a good match for my palm pearl." ”

Li Mingda was surprised when she heard this, she was a little anxious, she didn't mean this at all, how could it be like this, she just wanted to speak, but saw Li Zhi squeezing her eyebrows at her, their brother and sister have always had a good relationship, she immediately understood what Li Zhi meant, and forcibly closed her mouth.

At this time, Li Shimin had already looked at Li Mingda and asked, "Mingda, do you have any objections to this method?" ”

Li Mingda immediately said: "Everything is up to my father." ”

"That's good." Li Shimin smiled and said, "Zhi'er, you go back and prepare, write a piece and present it to me." ”

"Yes, Father!" Li Zhi gave up his hand.

The three of them wandered in the garden for a while, and Xu Lian came to remind Li Shimin that it was time to review the recital, and Li Zhi and Li Mingda retired.

After leaving the garden, Li Zhi leaned into Li Mingda's ear and said, "You don't have to worry, I will let Mr. also participate." ”

Li Mingda's face flushed when she heard this, she didn't expect that her little caution was all seen through by Li Zhi, fortunately, this is her closest brother, just a little shy, she lowered her head and whispered: "Thank you Brother Slave." ”

Li Zhi smiled and said: "Thank you, you are my favorite sister, my brother naturally hopes that you will marry the person you like, but it's a pity, Li Hao already has a wife......"

Li Mingda hurriedly said: "Mingda doesn't care. ”

Li Zhi said helplessly: "But the father cares, do you think the father will be willing to let you marry Li Hao as a concubine?" Even if the father agrees, the officials will not agree, after all, this is not in line with etiquette. ”

Li Mingda was dumbfounded when he heard this, and was stunned for a long time before he asked anxiously: "That...... How's that to be? ”

Li Zhi spread his hands and shrugged: "I don't know, I think now, there are two most likely results, one is that you marry Mr. and be the main room, and the father and emperor decreed that Mr. take a leave of absence from the main room of the Li family, and then re-accept the Li family as a side room or a concubine room." ”

"This ...... How can this be! Li Mingda exclaimed, when she went to Li Hao's house before, Li Ping was very good to her, how could the kind-hearted Li Mingda bear to treat Li Ping like this.

Li Zhi also said thoughtfully: "I also think that this matter is inappropriate, Mr. is afraid that he will not agree, even if his father decrees, he may not be willing to accept it, and when the time comes, it will be disrespectful to the decree, and I don't know how those people in the court will impeach Mr." ”

Li Mingda hurriedly asked: "What about the other result?" ”

Li Zhi said: "Another result is that you don't marry Mr., and find someone you like to marry." ”

Li Mingda suddenly fell into a state of silence, and after a long time, she slowly raised her head, looked at Li Zhi, and said leisurely: "Brother Childish, I ...... I suddenly ...... I don't want to get married. ”

Li Zhi's expression darkened when he heard this, he could understand the pain in Li Mingda's heart, not being able to marry the person he liked, it was a very painful thing, seeing Li Mingda's tearful eyes, he remembered a person, a person who used to be almost crazy for her, that person has now been ordained a monk in Ganye Temple, living a life of green lanterns and ancient Buddhas every day, morning bells and dusk drums, and all of this is because of him, this person is naturally Wu Meiniang.

"Perhaps, I should go see her." Li Zhi muttered to himself softly, only to feel sour in his nose, and almost cried.

"Brother Child, you can help me." Li Mingda's voice suddenly called Li Zhi out of his thoughts.

Li Zhi adjusted his emotions slightly, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll go to visit Mr. again later, and ask him for advice, he is resourceful, and there should be a good plan." ”

"This ......" Li Mingda hesitated for a while when she heard this, in this way, Li Hao would know that she had a crush on him, which was really embarrassing, but she thought that this was related to her life, and she couldn't be lazy, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with me too." ”
