In March, it is the season when the scenery of Chang'an is beautiful, in the garden of the rich and noble people in the city, there are flowers blooming everywhere, the southeast direction of the Qujiang Pond, it is full of tourists, even on both sides of the cement avenue outside the Mingde Gate, the small willow trees planted in that year have also grown into the shade, the breeze strokes, ten thousand green branches dance, it looks graceful and colorful, like the Huansha girl of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

This cement avenue to the east is the road to Luoyang, and it is also one of the busiest trade roads in Datang, with countless carriages coming and going between the two places every day, especially in the spring season, the road is extremely busy, and both sides of the road are filled with all kinds of small vendors, taking advantage of this busy season to make a small fortune.

But today on this crowded cement road, there is a large convoy advancing, only to see this convoy with a hundred cavalry to open the road, under the banner of Qi Wangfu, followed by more than a dozen carts, and in the middle of these vehicles, is an extraordinarily wide carriage, the left window of the car is open, revealing a lively girl's face, with her beautiful big eyes curiously looking at the situation on both sides of the road.

"Grandmother, look outside, we haven't arrived in Chang'an City yet, it's already so lively, presumably when we get to the city, it must be more prosperous than before." The girl said excitedly. She is Cai'er who returned to Chang'an from Taiwan, and in addition to her in the car, Queen Xiao is also in the car.

"I haven't come back for a few years, the willows on this road have grown so big, and there are so many people doing small businesses on the road, when we left Chang'an, there was no such scene!" Empress Xiao in the car looked at the scene outside. Said with some emotion. Her body is getting worse day by day, and she has to hurry up to find a good husband for Cai'er.

In fact, Cai'er didn't know about Queen Xiao's choice of a husband for her. She only knew that she and her grandmother had lived with her cousin for a few years, and her grandmother had missed Chang'an a little. That's why I asked her to come back together, although compared to Chang'an, Cai'er prefers Taiwan, after all, it is her birthplace, but thinking that her grandmother is old and has no relatives around, she didn't hesitate to come back.

The carriages on the cement avenue were like a stream, and even if the left and right lanes were divided, the speed still couldn't be fast. There are even some anxious car owners who only care about rushing the car, and as a result, a vehicle collision occurs, and some serious ones will cause a rollover, resulting in injuries to the people in the car. Fortunately, when Empress Xiao came back this time, Li Su sent two hundred guards, and now they are guarding the front and back, plus the banner of the Qi Palace, no one dares to approach without opening their eyes.

It wasn't until almost noon that the convoy finally arrived outside the Mingde Gate. Speaking of which, Empress Xiao's identity is very special. Although she is Li Su's maternal grandmother, she is also the queen of the former Sui, so in order to avoid suspicion, Queen Xiao has always been very low-key. When she came back this time, she didn't tell anyone, not even Concubine Yang. Therefore, it stands to reason that there should be no one to greet them.

But just as the convoy came to the city gates. But they were greeted by a team on a tall horse, led by a boy of sixteen or seventeen. Although he looks a little thin, he is handsome and has an outstanding temperament, and he knows that he is extraordinary at a glance, and behind this young man, he is all extremely strong and strong, and everyone has a blood on his body, and it seems that he should be the young man's guard.

When the guards in front of Empress Xiao's convoy saw the young man coming on horseback, they immediately straightened up on their horses, and controlled the horses to split to both sides, making way for a road. The only one who can make Li Su's guards so respectful is naturally the current Tang Dynasty prince Li Zhi.

Cai'er in the carriage seemed to have known that Li Zhi was coming, and she poked her head out of the window with a smile, but when she saw the handsome young man on the horse, her face couldn't help but turn red, and her eyes looked at Li Zhi a little more shy.

Li Zhi, who came on a horse, couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the beautiful girl in the window, when Cai'er left Chang'an, she was only a ten-year-old girl, but when she met again five years later, the other party had grown into a slim girl, and she was more beautiful than she imagined.

When Li Zhi and Cai'er first met, although Li Zhi was only twelve years old at the time, he didn't know much about the relationship between men and women, but he already had a different feeling about Cai'er, but it was a pity that the two had been together for less than a year, Cai'er's father Yang Jian died, and Cai'er has been living in Li Su's place since then, but even so, the connection between Li Zhi and Cai'er has not been broken, and the two of them have been telling each other about their lives through the Hongyan book.

For example, in the case of Li Zhi, as the crown prince, he bears too many heavy responsibilities, and there are some things he can't tell other people at all, but he doesn't have anything to hide from Cai'er, whether he is happy or sad, he will be the first to think of writing a letter to Cai'er and sharing his thoughts with Cai'er.

Although seeing Cai'er made Li Zhi feel a little surprised, he quickly reacted, rode his horse to the side of the carriage, then threw the saddle and dismounted, and said to Cai'er with a smile: "Cai'er, I haven't seen you for a few years, are you okay?" I heard that the sixth brother has two sons, isn't it cute? ”

Hearing Li Zhixian ask herself if she was okay, Cai'er couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart, but she deliberately made an angry expression on her face and said: "Hmph, of course I'm fine, but my cousin has two sons, but you haven't been there once, and I've never seen an uncle like you!" ”

Li Zhi heard it, Cai'er was blaming herself for not going to see her, but as the crown prince, it was not easy for him to even get out of Chang'an, let alone go to Taiwan. Therefore, he was also full of grievances and said: "Cai'er, I want to go to Taiwan in my dreams, but you see me now, not only do I have to go to the military academy to study, but also a group of old masters force me to learn this and that, and I even have to squeeze time to write letters to you, sometimes I have to stay up until midnight, and I don't have time to go out at all!" ”

Hearing what Li Zhi said was pitiful, and with the understanding of correspondence in the past few years, Cai'er also knew that Li Zhi was telling the truth. In fact, she didn't blame Li Zhi for not going to see her at all, but the two hadn't seen each other for so long, and the little girl didn't know what to say, so she used this matter to embarrass Li Zhi.

Empress Xiao didn't know about Cai'er's correspondence with Li Zhi, but when she was in the carriage before, she found that something was wrong with Cai'er, and the closer she got to Chang'an, the more excited she became, until she heard a man talking to Cai'er outside, and Cai'er was also very familiar with each other, which made Queen Xiao very surprised, after all, she and Cai'er had left Chang'an for so long, and Cai'er had not been in Chang'an for a long time, how could she know a man?

With the doubts in her heart, Queen Xiao looked out the window, but when she saw that it was Li Zhi, she was also startled, as a person who came over, Queen Xiao could naturally see that the relationship between Cai'er and Li Zhi was unusual, but then her face changed greatly, and she said to Cai'er who was facing away from her with a straight face: "Cai'er, there are many people on the road, pay attention to maintaining your manners!" ”

Hearing Empress Xiao's words, Cai'er came to her senses, and she stuck out her tongue in fright, just now she was happy to see Li Zhi, but she forgot that they were at the gate of the city, and there were people coming and going on this street, she was an unmarried girl, and it was really not suitable to laugh with a man.

Thinking of this, Cai'er immediately made a cute grimace at Li Zhi, and then immediately shrank her little head into the window. Originally, she wanted to be coquettish to Queen Xiao and let the old man not be angry, but she saw that Queen Xiao stopped the carriage, and then got out of the car with the help of the maid.

Li Zhi also heard the words of Empress Xiao in the car, and felt a little embarrassed at the time, just when he wanted to greet Empress Xiao, he saw that the other party actually got off the carriage, and then saw Empress Xiao salute him and said: "The old man returned to Chang'an with his granddaughter, but I didn't expect to meet His Royal Highness the Prince, and ask His Royal Highness to forgive the old man's disrespectful sin!" ”

Seeing that although Empress Xiao was well-mannered, she had a feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away, which made Li Zhi a little uncomfortable for a while, so he had to reply dryly: "Mrs. Sui Guo doesn't need to be polite, I ...... I'm here to welcome Cai'er back to Chang'an! ”

Although Li Zhi pointed out that he had come to greet him on purpose, Empress Xiao still lowered her head as if she hadn't heard it, and said: "Your Highness is busy with official business, and our ancestors and grandchildren are really tired after a long journey, so say goodbye to Your Highness!" ”

After Empress Xiao finished speaking, she didn't care about Li Zhi's reaction, let people help her into the carriage, and then gave an order, the convoy started again, and Li Zhi and his party were all left there, and Cai'er didn't know why her grandmother was so cold to Li Zhi, and she was very anxious to stick her head out of the window and look at Li Zhi with a reluctant face, but she was quickly pulled into the car by Queen Xiao and sat down, no matter how coquettish she was, it was useless.

And Li Zhi looked at Cai'er's distant convoy, but he was standing on the horse in a daze, the expression on his face was uncertain, he wanted to chase but didn't dare to chase, and after a while, he suddenly sighed, lowered his head and didn't say a word, looking indescribable.

At the same time, the eldest grandson queen in the Taiji Palace also received the news that Li Zhi had gone to pick up people outside the city, but when she heard that the person Li Zhi greeted was Yang Cai'er, the granddaughter of Empress Xiao, her brows furrowed suddenly, and after a long time, she ordered: "Come here, go and invite Concubine Yang to come!" ”

Concubine Yang in Wangyun Hall also received the news of Empress Xiao's return at this time, and also knew that Li Zhi went to greet Cai'er in person, but after hearing this, she sighed, and her expression became a little gloomy. And when she heard that Empress Xiao invited her over, Concubine Yang hesitated for a long time, sighed again, and then went out of Wangyun Palace. (To be continued.)
