"Auntie, did you already know the true identities of Cai'er and the prince?" In the garden of the Zhou Mansion, Hu Yuyi, who had not been seen for a few days, had lost a little weight, and her face looked a little haggard, it seemed that she had not been doing well in the past few days.

In fact, after knowing Li Zhi's true identity that day, Hu Yuyi returned home in a daze, but she soon found that she couldn't tell her family about this matter, and even with the character of her father, that is, the official fan Principal Hu, if she knew that Li Zhi was the prince, I am afraid that she would probably force her daughter to marry, although she couldn't be the crown princess, but it was not bad to be a good lady or a good yuan, and maybe he could become a concubine in the future, and then he would become a real royal relative.

It was precisely with these in mind that Hu Yuyi thought about it, and suddenly thought that Cai'er was introduced to her by her aunt, and as an aunt, she should have known the true identities of Cai'er and Li Zhi for a long time, so she immediately came to Zhou's mansion and found Mrs. Zhou to ask.

Mrs. Zhou stroked Hu Yuyi's long hair with some pity and said: "Yuyi, since you already know it, then my aunt will not hide it from you, I did know the true identity of the prince and Miss Yang, and even the safety of the prince in the town was also the responsibility of our house, but because His Royal Highness King Qi personally ordered us not to reveal the true identity of the prince to anyone, so I didn't dare to tell you at the beginning." ”

Hearing her aunt's explanation, Hu Yuyi's eyes were red, although she knew that if she had known Li Zhi's identity earlier, she might not have fallen so deeply, but she didn't blame her aunt, after all, her uncle was a general under King Qi. Naturally, she has to act according to orders, and her aunt also has her own difficulties.

And see my favorite niece. Mrs. Zhou also sighed, she already knew the scene when the three of them met a few days ago. And Cai'er also told her about the conversation that day, so that she had time to persuade Hu Yuyi, after all, after these few days of getting along, Cai'er found that Hu Yuyi is a very good person to get along with, and there is no scheming, if they enter the palace together in the future, they can be a pair of good sisters who support each other, which can make other women enter the palace much stronger.

Thinking of Cai'er's entrustment, Mrs. Zhou immediately spoke: "Yuyi." The crown prince is about to return to Chang'an, what do you think now, do you really plan to give up this relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

Hu Yuyi's eyes were slightly red after hearing this, and her voice murmured: "I don't know what to do, although I really want to be by Mr. Yang's side forever, but I am afraid of his identity, and I don't know how to live in the palace, aunt, what do you think I should do?" ”

But after hearing this, Mrs. Zhou sighed and said, "Yuyi." Auntie can help you with other things, but in terms of feelings, aunt really doesn't know how to help you? ”

Mrs. Zhou paused slightly when she said this, and then said: "But speaking of which, the prince came to Taiwan thousands of miles away. And I actually know you, this is also a rare fate, if you give up. It's a bit too much. ”

Hearing her aunt's last words, Hu Yuyi was also stunned. recalled the sweet time when I got along with Li Zhi in my mind, and I was even more reluctant in my heart. Tears flowed out all at once. It is indeed too difficult for a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl to face such a major life event.

However, compared to Hu Yuyi's hesitation, Li Zhi, who has returned to the Qi Palace, is not comfortable, especially when he does not get Hu Yuyi's definitive answer, which makes him feel even more uneasy, after all, he is also sincere to Hu Yuyi, if the other party is really unwilling to return to Chang'an with him, it will also be a big blow to him.

It's just that Li Zhi's apprehension didn't last too long, just the day before the Chinese New Year, Mrs. Zhou came with news that Hu Yuyi had made up her mind to return to Chang'an with Li Zhi, just to be with Li Zhi. Li Zhi, who got the news, was very excited, and personally went to take Hu Yuyi to the Qi Wangfu on the same day, and asked her and Cai'er to accompany her for the New Year.

However, after Li Yu saw Hu Yuyi, he sighed, the other party was just a little girl who didn't know the world, and the reason why she chose to be with Li Zhi was also very simple, but a temperament like her was really not suitable for survival in a place like the palace, but unfortunately it was too late to say anything now. Fortunately, Cai'er and Hu Yuyi are very compatible, and Cai'er, the future queen, is taking care of her, and I believe that as long as she maintains her current heart, she will be able to gain a firm foothold in the palace.

Li Zhi met Hu Yuyi in Taiwan, so Li Yu has to bear some responsibility for this matter, for example, if Hu Yuyi wants to enter the palace, he needs to have a name, and under the crown princess, there are two Liangdi, but Liangdi is not a woman who can be a woman, at least after a famous family, although Hu Yuyi was born in a scholarly family, but in terms of identity, it is still a little worse.

However, this problem is also very easy to solve, Hu Yuyi is the niece of Zhou Long's wife, and finally Li Yu came forward, Zhou Long and his wife succeeded Hu Yuyi in the past, since then Hu Yuyi changed his surname to Zhou, and his identity has also become the daughter of the general, although Zhou Long is not a general of the Tang Dynasty, but among the generals of Li Yu's Qi Palace, he is also a general in the top few, so the identity is noble enough, plus the Zhou family is also a family in the south, so Hu Yuyi is fully worthy of the identity of Shangliangdi.

Li Zhi's matter finally came to an end, which made Li Zhi finally breathe a sigh of relief, and Li Zhi also felt that a big stone in his heart had fallen to the ground, and there was another Hu Yuyi by his side, which made him spend an unforgettable New Year in Taiwan.

However, after the New Year, Li Zhi and Cai'er are going back, after all, they have been out for a year and a half, and the pressure from the ministers of the DPRK and China is not to mention for the time being, just the pressure from the harem from the Empress Changsun has already made Li Shimin a little unbearable, so he has been writing to urge them some time ago.

It is precisely for this reason that on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Zhi and Cai'er prepared their things, and then boarded Li Su's Qi Wang and began the journey back. Of course, Hu Yuyi also went back with Li Zhi, and when the time comes, he will officially marry into the East Palace with Cai'er.

However, when Li Zhi left, something happened that surprised Li Zhi very much, that is, Hu Yuyi's biological father, that is, the principal Hu, after careful consideration, decided not to return to Datang with Li Zhi, but still stayed in Taiwan. This made Li Zhi extremely surprised, because everyone knew that as long as Principal Hu, who likes to be an official, followed Li Zhi back to Datang, then no matter what, Li Zhi would also arrange for him to be an official, although he could not be a nominal imperial relative, but it was not too difficult to be a county magistrate.

For this reason, Li Zhi also went to Principal Hu and interviewed him for an hour, but the other party told Li Zhi that he had also been a small official in Datang before, and he was very familiar with Datang's life and officialdom, but since they moved to Taiwan, they felt very comfortable living here, whether it was the living environment or all aspects of the policy, they felt very free, not as depressed as Datang, and it was precisely because of this, although Principal Zhou knew that he could be an official when he returned to Datang, but he still gave up this opportunity. I chose to be a small principal in Taiwan and be promoted according to my own ability in the future.

Of course, when President Hu said the above reasons, he used more tactful words, and Li Zhi also relied on his experience in Taiwan to barely understand what President Hu said, and he also understood it very well, and even sometimes he was thinking that if he was really an ordinary person, then between Datang and Taiwan, he would undoubtedly prefer Taiwan, because there are too many opportunities waiting for ordinary people here, it can be said that as long as a person works hard, Then it is not difficult to live a life of abundance.

Thinking of this, Li Zhichang, who had already boarded the boat, sighed, although the development of Taiwan has not been for a long time, and the construction of the city is not complete, but there is a free and open atmosphere here, so that people who come here will be unconsciously attracted by here, for example, many businessmen who come to Taiwan from Datang to do business will buy a house in Taiwan and slowly move their whole family here.

Although this phenomenon seems inconspicuous, Li Zhi knows that this has already illustrated a problem, that is, the internal environment of Datang is not as good as Taiwan, especially in some policies related to people's livelihood, which is far from Taiwan.

For example, there are no restrictions on people building houses in Taiwan, as long as you have sufficient financial resources, then you can build whatever you want. However, there are clear regulations in Datang, what kind of house to build, what kind of house to build, the height of the house, the style of decorations, etc., all have strict regulations, and if you are not careful, you may break the law.

Of course, housing is only one aspect, and there are other aspects such as speech, clothing, behavior, etc., and there are no mandatory regulations in Taiwan, but this is completely the opposite in Datang. If a person has stayed in Taiwan's relaxed environment for a long time, he is naturally reluctant to return to Datang to be controlled, which is also one of the reasons why Taiwan's population is increasing.

Although Li Zhi knows these situations very clearly, and also knows the shortcomings of Datang in some aspects, but knowing is one thing, whether it can be changed is another thing, if you want to change the status quo of Datang, it will inevitably involve the interests of all parties, after all, Datang is not Taiwan, Taiwan is newly built on the basis of a clean and innocent foundation, so no matter what regulations Li Su does, it can be implemented smoothly, but this will not work in Datang.

"No wonder the sixth brother gave up the throne at the beginning, it turned out that the Tang Dynasty seemed to be very powerful, but in fact, the domestic forces were entangled, and the whole body was affected, and now the father can suppress the forces in all aspects, but if I ascend the throne in the future, I am afraid that the contradictions in all aspects of the country will erupt, it seems that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is really not good!" Li Zhi, who was on the bow of the ship, looked at the west and muttered to himself with a wry smile. (To be continued......)
