Under the supervision of General Yuan Xiao, the Northern Tour Army moved across the northern border like a dragon. Without even using gunpowder, it successfully made the disloyal tribes in the central and eastern parts submit to the Tang Dynasty.

The Dragon Guards are well-trained and have a great reputation.

The group fought quickly and decisively. Along the way, they visited many Turkic tribes that had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and gave them food and salt. They are now grateful to the Tang emperor.

In the end, the army did not even return to Anbei Protectorate for a rest, but set out on the journey back to Chang'an under the leadership of the little boy who was eager to go home.

In early July, the retired emperor and all the officials welcomed the prince back to the court outside the city gate.

The little girl, who had been away from home for three months, couldn't wait any longer. As soon as the carriage stopped, she ran out.

Yuan Yuan stood on the shaft of the cart and stretched his neck to look, and at a glance he saw Minister Yuan standing in the front row.

The grandparents and grandchildren were extremely excited when they met, and the little one cried loudly.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

“I miss Aong too!!!”

Minister Yuan's eyes were red, and he didn't care about anything else and was about to go forward, but was suddenly pushed away by someone.

Emperor Li Yuan shook off the eunuch Li Yu who was supporting him, pushed away the annoying Minister Yuan, and walked over with steady steps.

"Oh my dear grandson!!!"

Yuan Yuan had tears on her face, her eyes were confused for a moment, and then she started crying for the second time.

"Wow wow wow I miss the Emperor Aung too!!!"

The old man hugged the baby tightly, his heart almost broken, and said with sobs: "Grandfather also wants to have a baby..."

As the prince stepped off his horse, he saw his grandfather, who had always been like a towering tree in his heart, hugging the little boy and crying like a baby.

He felt extremely moved and his nose began to feel sore.

He took a step forward and was about to salute the emperor, when he saw Li Yuan holding the child, turned around and went to the side of the carriage.

"Oh my, this is Da Huang, my good great-grandson is back!"

The kid nodded vigorously: "Da Huang is very powerful, it can kill people more than San Huang!"

Li Yuan was surprised: "Are you serious???"

"As expected of the eldest brother in the family, well done!"

Prince: "..."

King Zhao also came out of the carriage and patted him on the shoulder: "Just get used to it."

The emperor took the little kid directly into the palace.

Minister Yuan, who did not receive the child, looked at his eldest son with disdain and said perfunctorily, "You are back. His Majesty has allowed you to report to the palace tomorrow. Your mother has prepared hot soup and delicious food in the mansion. Go back quickly.

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and went to the Ministry of Revenue.

His granddaughter doesn't even come home, so why is he going back so early? He should go work overtime and numb himself with government affairs.

Yuan Dalang: “…”

Although I had expected it, I still feel a little disappointed.

He was just about to seek comfort from his eldest daughter, who was also neglected by his old father, when he saw Yuan Qing standing in front of his master Cheng Yaojin, talking to him with excitement in his eyes.

Yuan Dalang curled his lips and turned away.

He wanted to go home to seek comfort from his wife.

After Li Shimin finished dealing with government affairs, he heard that the emperor had returned to the palace. He waited calmly for a while, then could not wait to take people to Xianchi Palace.

A lot of people had gathered in the Xianchi Palace at this time. The emperor retired sat in the first seat, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, and Qin Shubao sat below, and many eunuchs and palace maids were standing on the corridor.

Lions, wolves and leopards lay on the grass outside the palace, eating meat comfortably.

The little girl inside is dancing and telling everyone the story of her heroic battle!

Li Shimin coughed and squeezed in forcefully.

Yuan Yuan stopped talking and looked at him with wide eyes.

Li Shimin's eyebrows twitched.

Could it be that the kid had gone out and forgotten about his good uncle? ? ?

Yes, children of this age really don’t remember much.

His Majesty the Emperor feels a little uncomfortable.

He sat down beside Li Yuan and waved to the kid: "Come here."

Yuan Yuan's eyes lit up, and he ran over with his short legs and grabbed his beard.

"Uncle Erlang, is Yuanyuan going to get a salary increase?!"

Li Shimin was pulled by the beard, and he felt a little happy.

He grabbed the kid's hand and said seriously and reservedly, "Yes."

Yuan Yuan jumped for joy and began to tell the story of her heroic deeds in the North.

Although Yuchi Jingde, who was traveling with him, felt that what his young brother said was a little inconsistent with what he had experienced, he still listened with a smile and even enthusiastically supported him from time to time.

Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao also looked at their little brother whom they had not seen for a long time with loving eyes.

There was laughter and joy in the Xianchi Palace, and it was very warm.

***

Dingbei Palace.

Old Madam Ye and her two daughters-in-law were waiting outside the gate of the town with anxious looks on their faces.

After waiting for so long, all I got was a miserable eldest son.

Yuan Dalang walked up to the old lady with an admiring look on his face. Just as he was about to speak, the old lady interrupted him: "Where is my granddaughter?"

Madam Yuan Da and Madam Yuan Er also asked anxiously, "Where is Yuan Baoer?"

Yuan Dalang swallowed the word "mother" that was about to come out of his mouth, and said aggrievedly: "I entered the palace."

The mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and their two companions sighed in disappointment and went back home together.

Yuan Dalang: “…”

I was feeling very disappointed at first, but when I saw my wife coming back, I felt a warm feeling in my heart.

He knew that his wife was always thinking about him.

Madam Yuan came back and frowned as she asked, "Where's Qing'er? Has she entered the palace as well?"

Yuan Dalang: “…”

There is no warmth in this home anymore!

***

Outside the Lizheng Hall, the prince stood in the scorching sun, looking pale, waiting for Li Shimin to come back and report on his work.

He really felt that his old father was being too out of line now.

When a crown prince returns from a northern tour, his first priority is to go to the palace to meet the emperor.

But what about his big Aye? ? ?

Ah? ? ?
