The seven-day "Golden Week" of the Tang Spring Festival passed in the blink of an eye. Except for the first day of the Lunar New Year, when they had to go to the court to participate in the Yuan Ri Dynasty meeting, the remaining six days, the highest officials of the yamen at all levels had to be on duty in person, and there was no holiday. But Xia Hongsheng is not restricted. In his several positions, the highest commander of the Military Aircraft Department is Yan Lide, he is the second-in-command, he is the head of the academy in the military academy, and there are Li Jing, Duan Zhixuan, Niu Jinda, not to mention the right Yu Lin Wei, Duan Zhixuan is the general of the right Yu Lin Wei, and Xia Hongsheng is just a lieutenant general, advising the doctor, and there is nothing that can occupy the Spring Festival. Of course, Xia Hongsheng is passive and slacking off on weekdays, and it is common for him to cheat and cheat at work, so naturally no one can expect Xia Hongsheng to work overtime during the holidays.

So except for a few days when the group of gentlemen played at home, the rest of the time, Xia Hongsheng ate and slept at home, and with Yuexian and sister-in-law, he took Pan'er and Qiao'er to play cards, rub mahjong, play chess, and play chess.

It's just that this freedom passed too quickly, and the seven-day time was fleeting, which also meant that Xia Hongsheng's days in Datang had reached his third year.

Xia Hongsheng's loneliness about time and space has become less and less recently, and there are fewer and fewer times when he falls into pessimism.

Does this mean that I have begun to adapt to this time and space?

"Childe?" Yue Xian saw that Xia Hongsheng was suddenly in a daze, so he called softly. - Even when there is some emotion, there is always someone who can let them know in time that this time and space is no longer strange, and it is no longer lonely.

"Nothing, I'm leaving." Xia Hongsheng smiled and walked out the door. On the first day of the new year, I always go everywhere.

Get out of the house. was about to get into the carriage, but suddenly heard a shout: "Xiahou, please stay!" ”

Xia Hongsheng looked back, but saw two yellow doors running over. I can't help but wonder, on the first day of work at the beginning of the year, why, Li Lao Er is going to summon his brother? But. Usually summoned in the palace, all the guards who come are guards, why did they become two yellow doors today.

While thinking, he withdrew one foot that stepped into the carriage, turned to see the two yellow doors running to him, bowed and saluted, and then said, "Slave and maid to meet Xiahou!" Enlighten Xiahou, the Emperor Taishang invited Xiahou into the palace for a while! ”

"The Emperor?" Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, Li Yuan? What is he looking for in himself?

turned around and gave Qi Yong a look. Qi Yong nodded, ran back, and soon ran out again, with two more strings of copper coins in his hand.

"The two chamberlains have worked hard all the way." Xia Hongsheng said and laughed as he saw that the two strings of copper coins were given to the two yellow doors. The two yellow doors immediately smiled, and bowed to Xia Hongsheng to thank him. Xia Hongsheng smiled and asked again: "But I don't know that the emperor is an old man." What is the matter with summoning me? ”

"Hou Ye rest assured, the Emperor Taishang may have heard that Xiahou has some treasures. I'd like to take a look. Huangmen said: "The Emperor Taishang asked the slaves and maids to give Xiahou a word, saying that Xiahou should bring the treasure chest over." ”

"Yesterday, Lord Dou visited the Emperor Taishang, and mentioned that some fresh things have spread in the past few days of the New Year, all of which are from the hands of Xiahou. The other slaves and maids didn't hear it clearly, but when they think about it, it's not a bad thing. Another yellow door said.

Xia Hongsheng understood in his heart. So he asked Qi Yong to go back and get his wooden box out, and then went to the palace.

Since he gave up the throne to his second son, Li Yuan has been living in the Taiji Palace. Xia Hong ascended to the palace and was taken directly to the Taiji Palace.

Waited outside for a while for the inner servant to pass the word, and soon. He was brought into the apse by the chamberlain.

Xia Hongsheng saw him for the first time since he crossed over to Datang. The fat and fat Li Yuan was half-leaning and half-lying on the throne, and the two gorgeous women beside him were nestled on both sides, their eyes were scattered and dull, and their spirits were sluggish, like a mess of rotten meat, and they couldn't see the slightest majestic spirit of Taiyuan at the beginning. Xia Hongsheng stepped forward and bowed: "The minister greets His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Xia Hongsheng!" Li Yuan shouted with a smile and said, "Hehe, I have heard of your name a long time ago, you are young, but you have made many contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and you are deeply trusted by Erlang. ”

"Ministers don't dare to be, and it is within their duty to seek benefits for the people." Xia Hongsheng replied.

Li Yuan obviously just said politely, and was not really interested in this, just one sentence, and got to the point: "I heard that you have a treasure chest, which is full of novel and interesting things. I am very bored in this Taiji Palace, since you have new and interesting things, you should not be stingy with me. ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, opened the wooden box, and took the things out of it.

"Come forward!" Li Yuan was very interested in what Xia Hongsheng took out and said.

Xia Hongsheng stepped forward with the things and introduced them to Li Yuan one by one.

"Yes, it sounds really novel and interesting, why don't Xia Qing accompany me to give it a try." Li Yuan looked at the four things, thought about it, and said: "I look at this mahjong tile seems to be good, it needs four people to play, it is very lively." Come on, go and call Guanyin to come and make up the number for me. ”

The chamberlain next to him received the order and immediately hurried out.

didn't wait for a while, I saw Zheng Guanyin and Li Wanshun appear in the palace, and stepped forward to pay respects: "Guanyin meets my father-in-law!" ”

Li Yuan nodded: "No need to be polite." Come on, go and bring a table! ”

Everyone do it. Xia Hongsheng put the mahjong cards on the table and said: "Emperor Qiqi, this, there are only three of us, but we can't play mahjong cards, why don't we play poker first?" ”

Li Yuan's face showed a sneer, flashed, and said lightly: "It's okay, since there are not enough people, let's wait a little longer." ”

Zheng Guanyin sat cautiously, looking a little uneasy. Li Yuan closed his eyes slightly and didn't speak.

Xia Hongsheng had no choice but to sit dryly.

Just after a while, I suddenly saw a yellow door running in from outside, bowed down and saluted: "Emperor Qiqi, Your Majesty and the Empress have come to see you!" ”

Li Yuan opened his eyes, waved his hand and went down to the yellow door, looked at the mahjong tiles on the table, suddenly sneered, and said, "Aren't there all the people now?" ”

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun walked in, went to meet Li Yuan first, and saw Zheng Guanyin there, they were slightly stunned, but it passed quickly. And Zheng Guanyin hurriedly gave gifts to Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, looking trembling. Xia Hongsheng also got up and bowed.

"Hahahaha, you two came at the right time today!" Li Yuan asked Li Shimin and Empress Eldest Sun to sit down at the table, and said, "I heard that Xia Hongsheng had some novel gadgets, so I specially called him to take a look. It's called mahjong, and it takes four people to play, and now you're here, and you've got just enough of them. Come! ”

"This ...... The concubine has never heard of this, and she won't, so the concubine still retreats to the side and waits, please come to the queen! Zheng Guanyin winced and said cautiously.

Li Yuan didn't answer her words, but smiled at Li Wanshun and said, "Niang, come to grandfather, let grandfather take a good look at you!" You look like your sister! ”

Xia Hongsheng chuckled in his heart. (To be continued.) )
