Li Shimin returned to Chang'an City, the army was placed outside the city, and then a grand ceremony was held to enter the city, some meritorious soldiers were selected and followed Li Shimin into the city, and both sides of the street were surrounded by welcoming people, especially when these soldiers entered the city, the cheers on both sides shook the sky.

Datang has always been martial, and he also has great respect for meritorious people in the army, especially those who look young and don't seem to have a marriage match.

When the army came to the Taiji Palace along Zhuque Street, Li Shimin also dedicated the heads of Quangai Suwen and his son to the Taimiao, and held a grand sacrificial ceremony to announce his victorious return to the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty and add glory to the Tang Dynasty. This was followed by a large banquet in the Taiji Hall to entertain the meritorious soldiers.

However, Li Xiu slipped away halfway through eating, because he had been thinking about his family, especially not long after he left Chang'an, there was news from home that Yi Niang was pregnant, calculating the time, she should have been pregnant during the Chinese New Year, and the birth date was also in October, but at that time Li Xiu was attacking Marudu City, and there was no way to rush back, and because the distance was too far and the letter was inconvenient, Li Xiu still didn't know whether Yi Niang gave birth to a man or a girl?

Thinking that Yi Niang couldn't be by her side when she gave birth, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel guilty, so he also sped up and wanted to go home early, so that he could see her and the child as soon as possible, but unfortunately there were too many people on Suzaku Street, and the horse couldn't run, which made him very anxious, and finally finally got out of the city gate, and immediately rushed to his home.

"The master is back!" The family had already received the news that Li Xiu was coming back, so as soon as his horse appeared, the subordinates guarding the door immediately rushed to the house to report the news, and then saw Princess Pingyang and Yuechan go out with the children to greet them, and they also showed excited expressions when they saw Li Xiu.

"Lady, how is the lady, is it a boy or a girl?" Li Xiu jumped off the horse in front of the house, and then asked in the first sentence, which was also the news he wanted to know the most.

"Hehe, look at the husband in a hurry, Sister Yi Niang is very good, as for boys and girls, Sister Yi Niang is not allowed to tell you, you must go to see it yourself!" Princess Pingyang couldn't help but smile when she saw Li Xiu's anxious appearance.

"Yi Niang won't let you tell me?" Li Xiu was stunned for a moment when he heard Princess Pingyang's words, and then reacted and said, "With Yi Niang's temper, I'm afraid that only when she gives birth to a boy will she be so mysterious, after all, she has always wanted to have another son." ”

"Giggle~, I'll just say I can't hide it from my husband!" Yuechan next to her saw that Li Xiu suddenly guessed that it was a boy, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile at the moment, Yi Niang originally only had one son, Ping'anlang, and Le An is a daughter, she has always wanted to have another son, and now she finally got her wish.

"Sure enough!" Li Xiu also laughed when he heard Yuechan's words, and then hugged Ping'an Lang and Li Jin again, and then pointed to a few of them, "Come and accompany me to see your younger brother!" ”

The children in the family have always liked Li Xiu, and now when they see him coming back, they are all jumping with joy, telling him interesting things about the family while walking, the most of which is the newborn little brother, after all, especially Li Xiu and Yuechan's daughter Su Ya, while walking, she complained to Li Xiu, saying that her brother bit his finger, and the poor little guy has no teeth now, and he is about to be sued by his sister.

The family returned to the inner house, Li Xiu also walked quickly to Yi Niang's residence, now it is about to reach the wax moon, count the days, Yi Niang has just been full moon, and the weather outside is too cold, the child is inconvenient to go out, so he can only stay in the room, and when Li Xiu pushed the door open, he saw Yi Niang holding the child anxiously waiting at a glance.

"Husband, come and hug our son!" When Yi Niang saw Li Xiu coming in, she immediately shouted happily, and Li Xiu also hurriedly stepped forward to pick up her son, only to see that the little guy had just passed the full moon, and his little face was also pink, looking indescribably cute.

However, the little guy may not be used to being held by a stranger, and he just changed into Li Xiu's arms, but he actually cried "wow", which made Li Xiu also startled, no matter how much he coaxed, he could only hand it over to Yi Niang in the end, and Yi Niang couldn't help laughing: "It seems that our son doesn't know his husband yet, just wait a few days." ”

"Husband came back from the battlefield, the murderous aura and dust on his body, the child naturally doesn't like it, I have asked people to prepare bath water, husband go and wash it!" At this moment, Princess Pingyang also walked in and said with a smile.

"Haha~, I don't know if there is murderous energy, but the dust is real, except for washing in Luoyang on the way, I don't have time to take a bath at other times!" Li Xiu couldn't help laughing at this time, the conditions on the road are limited, and sometimes he has to sleep in the wild, so naturally there are no conditions for bathing.

At that moment, Li Xiu teased the child again, and then went to the room to take a bath, Yuechan also served in person, but Li Xiu did not go home for nearly a year, and when he took a bath, he was skin-to-skin with Yuechan, and it was inevitable that he couldn't hold it, and finally this bath took a long time, and when he came out, he also provoked Yiniang and Princess Pingyang to cover her mouth and snicker, Yuechan lowered her head in shame and didn't dare to look at people.

The family reunited, Li Xiu also accompanied Princess Pingyang and they chatted for a while, he first asked about the situation at home, especially the situation when Yi Niang gave birth, after all, the danger when Yi Niang gave birth to Ping An Lang is still vivid, so every time he gave birth to a child at home, Li Xiu was very nervous, but Yi Niang was very smooth this time, and there was no accident.

Then Princess Pingyang also asked him about the attack on Goguryeo, so from time to time there were war reports to Chang'an, but after all, it was not very detailed, Li Xiu also knew that although Princess Pingyang did not lead troops, she was still very interested in things on the battlefield, so she also told her experience on the battlefield, Yiniang and Yuechan also listened very seriously, although there were some places they didn't understand, but they were very concerned about Li Xiu's life on the battlefield, especially when they heard that Li Xiu was hurrying in the wind and snow, he showed a distressed expression.

In the evening, Yuechan cooked by herself and made a hearty dinner for Li Xiu, speaking of which, although there are cooks at home, they are not as good as Yuechan's craftsmanship, Li Xiu's mouth is also raised by Yuechan, but since she has children, Yuechan does not have so much time to cook, and only when she encounters some important days, she will cook herself.

After dinner, Li Xiu wanted to chat with Yiniang and them for a while, but Princess Pingyang pulled him into the room at this time, and then took out a thick stack of letters and said: "Husband, this is a letter sent by Chengdao and Yiniang this year, and there is a big good news on it, you will definitely be happy after reading it." ”

As soon as he heard that it was Qi Niang's letter, Li Xiu immediately snatched the letter to watch, and the top was Qi Niang's letter, and Li Xiu immediately opened it one by one, because the Americas and Datang only had one or two opportunities to communicate a year, so Qi Niang sent all the letters written in a year, and the earliest letter was even written by her on the ship to America last year.

Judging from the content of these letters, Qi Niang was also very excited at the beginning, after all, she could be with her beloved, but as she was far away from the Central Plains, she was also slowly a little homesick, thinking about Li Xiu's relatives, fortunately Li Chengdao was very concerned about her, and what made Li Xiu even happier was that Qi Niang was pregnant with a child last winter, and not only Li Chengdao was happy, but even Li Yuan was excited to prepare the child's name in advance.

In addition, Qi Niang also told some interesting things about her in the Americas, as well as some things that happened when she got along with Li Chengdao and his wife, from these things, it can be seen that Qi Niang in addition to missing Li Xiu's relatives, life in the Americas is still very good, Li Chengdao has a deep affection for her, and she is a few years older than Qi Niang, plus she is mature and steady, not only takes care of Qi Niang everywhere in life, but also chooses to back down when she meets Qi Niang's small temperament.

Of course, Qi Niang is also very smart, and she is slowly learning to be a good wife, and even picked up the cooking that she was not very good at before, wanting Li Chengdao to eat the meals she made by herself every day, but after Li Chengdao ate it a few times, he begged her not to do it with a bitter face, he would rather cook in person like Li Xiu, and Qi Niang was also very dissatisfied with this, but then she became pregnant, and Li Chengdao didn't let her cook.

Looking at the bits and pieces of her life recorded in Qi Niang's letter, although they are all small things, the happiness between the lines is almost overflowing. And Li Xiu also felt very relieved, as long as Qi Niang can live happily, it will prove that his original decision was right, I hope that Li Chengdao can always maintain his current relationship with Qi Niang, then he will be completely relieved.

After reading Qi Niang's letter, the following is Li Chengdao's letter, compared to Qi Niang, everything is written on the letter, but Li Chengdao picked some important things, of course, many of them mentioned his life after marriage with Qi Niang, but on his letter, Li Xiu learned a not very good news, that is, Li Yuan's physical condition began to get worse, and from time to time there would be some minor illnesses, and there were also bearded guests, and because of his age, his physical condition was not as good as before, which made Li Xiu also worried.

There are also Li Yuan and the bearded guest, and even Pei Lian's letters in the back, Li Xiu also read them one by one, but several of them didn't mention their physical condition, obviously they didn't want Li Xiu to worry, but the more this happened, the more worried Li Xiu became, especially since America is so far away from Datang, and it is impossible for him to go to the Americas, so that the last goodbye may become a farewell.

After reading these letters, Li Xiu was also in a complicated mood, Qi Niang's letter made him happy, but the physical condition of Li Yuan and the bearded guest made him worried. Princess Pingyang next to her kept looking at Li Xiu quietly, until he finished reading the letter, and then she spoke again: "Husband, Uncle Ma has one more thing to look for you over there." ”
