The night is coming, in the main hall of the East Palace, the emperor and queen of the Tang Dynasty are embroidering something, although she has long been the queen, but the habit of this female red has not been lost, her Langjun, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is still dealing with unfinished political affairs in the Taiji Hall at the moment, and it will not end until the middle of the night.

"Mother, Changle has come to see you!" A voice came from outside the door, and a smile immediately bloomed on the face of the eldest grandson, and when she looked up, she saw her daughter Yingying walking in, and bowed forward when she arrived: "Lizhi has seen her mother!" ”

"Come here!" Empress Eldest Sun was very happy and recruited Li Lizhen to her side: "How is it, how did you go out with your third brother today?" ”

Li Lizhi snuggled up to her mother, her eyes immediately became two crooked crescents, and she nodded vigorously: "My daughter had a good time today, and I made a barbecue with Sister Hui'er to eat, but unfortunately there is no barbecue grill in the palace, otherwise Lizhi can also let her mother taste Lizhi's craftsmanship!" By the way, Lizhi also learned a tune, and it's very comfortable to sing! ”

Empress Eldest Sun hugged her daughter, gently stroked her hair with doting eyes, smiled and listened to her daughter talk about what she had seen and heard about today's safari and interesting things, and felt that her daughter seemed to be more cheerful than usual, and had more of the nature of a younger daughter than usual.

"Oh? My daughter has learned the tune of Shizi, sing it so that I and the queen can listen to it! A smiling voice came from outside, and as soon as the two turned their heads, they saw Li Shimin walking in from outside, and sat down directly without waiting for the two to salute.

Empress Changsun and Li Lizhen still got up to see Eli Lilly, and Empress Changsun asked with a smile: "Why did Erlang finish handling government affairs so early today?" ”

"There is a tricky matter, I can't think of a countermeasure after thinking about it, so I just don't want to think about it, and I will call Fang Qing and the others tomorrow to discuss it." Li Shimin raised his hand and took the eldest grandson queen: "Don't mention these troubles, Guanyin, our daughter has just learned a little song, why don't you listen to it quickly?" ”

Empress Changsun is a smart woman, a smart woman can always grasp a degree, she is now the queen of the Tang Dynasty, no longer the lady of the Tiance Mansion, and he has also become the son of the Tang Dynasty, no longer the Erlang. So since becoming the queen, the eldest grandson Wuji has rarely taken the initiative to ask Li Shimin about political affairs. Harem politics is a taboo for every emperor, and as the emperor, she can't rely on the emperor's deep affection to open this head, let alone let those ministers who are eyeing him seize the handle.

"Since it's your father who wants to listen, Changle, and sing it for us to hear!" Empress Eldest Sun said to Li Lizhen with a smile.

Li Lizhi was very shy, her face was red, but she still nodded and opened her mouth to sing.

After a song, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were a little surprised, the two looked at each other, and Empress Changsun said: "This kind of tune...... It's fresh and tight, and the songs that the concubine has heard on weekdays are different, but it's wonderful, so that the concubine body thinks of the idyllic leisure, and sure enough, as Changle said, it sounds very comfortable, and this heart has become loose for no reason! ”

"Hehe, Guanyin, do you remember that some time ago, Li Chengqian and Ke'er sang "Loyal to the Country" non-stop?" Li Shimin laughed and said to Empress Changsun: "Although the styles are very different, the rules of the tunes are very similar. Changle, if my guess is right, this song was given to you by Xia Hongsheng, right? ”

Princess Yingying of Changle nodded: "Father is not wrong, it is indeed taught by Xia Gongzi to his daughter and Hui'er's sister." ”

Li Shimin nodded with a smile and said, "This Xia Hongsheng is also a talent. However, he was too careful in front of me, and he couldn't spit out the real thing if he didn't push him. The method of making salt that he sacrificed before is now that Longyou has begun to take shape, and the horseshoe and saber that he offered later are now gradually being pushed forward in the army...... Later, he made many suggestions, many of which were unheard of and shocked. These are all great credits, but I don't seem to care about them, as if they don't care, as if these things are just a gesture in his eyes, and he doesn't know how precious they are. Not only that, but this son is also beyond ordinary people, I have read his poems in Luanzhou, all of them are excellent, as well as the long and short sentences of the famous person who moved Los Angeles, and even the story he made for the choice of Oiran in Los Angeles is also amazing. If this son can change the problem of this rat trap, it can be of great use. As for the character, it seems that there are no major flaws at the moment, but I don't know if I will be able to stick to my heart as I get older in the future. ”

"Yes, Xia Gongzi's literary talent is outstanding, on the day of his housewarming, the eldest brother and the third brother took me to Jingyang together, the third brother saw that Xia Gongzi was not drinking well, so he wanted to gamble with Xia Gongzi on wine, and bet on whether Xia Hongsheng could make a good poem in the time of a cup of tea. But who knew that Xia Gongzi had a chapter, one poem at a time, and walked in front of the third brother in seven steps! Seven steps and seven poems, but the eldest brother and the third brother drank seven cups in a row, and they were all drunk! Hearing Li Shimin say that Xia Hongsheng's writing is outstanding, Li Lizhen couldn't help but add next to him.

"Seven steps and seven poems? Hearing His Majesty and Changle say this, the concubine became interested in this son, I heard that this son is thirteen years old, at such a young age, is it really as magical as Erlang and Changle said? Empress Eldest Sun laughed, her eyes were sly as if she had always seen a fox with a plaything, and then she raised her eyes to look at her daughter, her eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a look of surprise.

Not to mention that in the palace, Li Shimin's family of three was discussing Xia Hongsheng, Xia Hongsheng and her sister-in-law were arguing in Xia Hongsheng's own house in Jingyang County.

Women can't stay at home, she is not at all used to this kind of pampered life, although in the past, when the family was difficult, there were also imagined what kind of life would be like for the ladies and ladies of large families, but now that she really lives this kind of life, she knows that this kind of life is so boring, and it is even better for her to go back to operate an iron spoon and make a meal that everyone on the street likes. Those light and polite compliments don't sound as good as putting an extra pair of chopsticks and noodles in the bowl of the diner, and the customer's thank you sound really comforting. After enduring it for so many months, the woman finally couldn't bear it anymore and discussed it with Xia Hongsheng.

"Hongsheng, you see that you don't need your sister-in-law to take care of anything here, it's better for your sister-in-law to return to Luanzhou City! Sister-in-law is not a blessed life, and she can't stand this lady's life! Or do you feel happier at the food stall, and my sister-in-law will go back to running our food stall? This is what Xia Hongsheng's sister-in-law said just now, and she still looked pitiful and pleading, and Xia Hongsheng felt uncomfortable when she saw it.

Xia Hongsheng also knows that his sister-in-law is not a person who can be idle, and it is due to years of hardship, right? But now that he has the ability to support his family, he really doesn't want his sister-in-law to suffer anymore. His mother died in childbirth, and his father and brother died in the chaos of the army, Xia Hongsheng couldn't imagine how a teenage woman with an infant self survived and pulled herself to be so big now. Although the soul inside is no longer the Xia Hongsheng who was brought up by a woman, he has occupied this identity and become this existence, and he will always inherit the kindness he has received to help repay the original Xia Hongsheng. Moreover, since crossing over to Datang, if it weren't for this woman who has always cared about herself, taken care of herself, and let herself experience the warmth of home, how could she have been able to adapt to the life of Datang so smoothly and integrate into Datang society? This is my first relative after arriving in Datang!

It was Xia Hongsheng who said that he didn't want this woman to suffer any more.

"Sister-in-law is a woman, she doesn't understand anything, and she can't help you here, Hongsheng, you just promise your sister-in-law! Let my sister-in-law go back to Luanzhou City and re-operate our food stall. We are not short of money now, sister-in-law promises, just to be happy, and will definitely not tire yourself, okay? The woman was still stalking Xia Hongsheng, hoping that Xia Hongsheng could promise her and let her go back to Luanzhou City.

"If it's just to be happy, then I just order the carpenter to make a set of snack trucks for my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law can bring a few little maids to go with me and make snacks on the street, and it's okay to make snacks on the street without money, as long as my sister-in-law is happy." Xia Hongsheng didn't get a drop of water here, shook his head, and said, "Anyway, I won't let my sister-in-law go back to Luanzhou to suffer!" ”

"How's that going to work! You are now in an official family, if your sister-in-law is recognized by others on the street, won't it be to discredit you and shame you? The woman shook her head like a rattle and denied.

Hearing his sister-in-law say this, Xia Hongsheng's eyes rolled, and he immediately thought of a rhetoric, so he persuaded again: "Sister-in-law, since you know this, why do you insist on going back?" If you go back, wouldn't there be more people in Luanzhou City who know you, and wouldn't everyone in Luanzhou City know that I Xia Hongsheng was knighted and became a captain, and I want my sister-in-law to go to the street to sell food? What should the people think of me at that time? Not to mention how the people think of me, my Tang Dynasty has always been based on benevolence and filial piety, if it is known by the officials in the court, wouldn't it be to impeach Hongsheng to death in the court? As soon as the official is impeached, His Majesty will think that I am ungrateful, and I am not even willing to support my sister-in-law who raised me, and I want my sister-in-law to come out to sell food to make a living, and at that time the Son of Heaven is angry, thinking that Hongsheng is a disloyal and unfilial person, then Hongsheng will lose his official position and abandon his lord, and he will pull out the noon gate and behead him to set an example, and at that time, how should my sister-in-law end? ”

"Huh?!" The woman was taken aback by Xia Hongsheng's words, her face turned pale, and she quickly twisted Xia Hongsheng: "That sister-in-law is not leaving!" My sister-in-law is not going out either! How can Hongsheng be that kind of person, Hongsheng treats his sister-in-law very well......"

Xia Hongsheng snickered in his heart, and finally bluffed his sister-in-law and made her dispel the idea of returning to Luanzhou. However, my sister-in-law is really lonely and bored, so I still have to find something to do for my sister-in-law.

Find something to do well? ……

(PS: Li Shimin became the crown prince after launching the Xuanwumen Rebellion and lived in the East Palace, and then ascended the throne as the emperor in the East Palace Xiande Hall (Mingde Palace) in the ninth year of Wude.) Gaozong Li Zhi was born in the second year of Zhenguan in the main hall of the East Palace, and Li Shimin did not move from the East Palace to live in the Taiji Palace until the third year of Zhenguan. Since Li Zhi was born in the main hall of Zhili in the East Palace, it seems that it can be said that Empress Changsun was very likely to live in this hall three years ago in Zhenguan. ）
