Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

Because of Yu Lian'er's arrival, His Royal Highness the King of Chu changed his original return plan and postponed the departure date by a few days.

However, on the day of departure, everyone saw the golden hairpin on Yu Lian'er's head, and they all understood that from now on, this young lady of the Yu family would become the undisputed Princess of Chu.

There was no conversation along the way. His Royal Highness the King of Chu and his entourage returned to Yumen Pass from Gaochang, and then went south through Ganzhou, Liangzhou, Lanzhou, Qizhou, and directly arrived at Chang'an City.

"Aunt Hong, you have worked so hard on this journey." On the Ba Bridge outside Chang'an City, His Royal Highness the King of Chu bowed deeply to Hong Fu again: "You and Uncle Li are my elders and relatives in my heart. If I hold a wedding in the future, please come and have a drink of wedding wine with Uncle Li. In addition, I will definitely invite your sworn brother to come, so that you and Uncle Li can also reminisce with him."

"Your Highness is thoughtful." After hearing what His Highness the Prince of Chu said, Hong Fu Nu smiled, and then she looked at Yu Lian'er who was standing beside her and reluctant to leave His Highness the Prince of Chu: "Silly girl, Your Highness is doing this for your own good - as the Princess of Chu, you must first go through the 'Five Ceremonies'. In addition, there are 'personal reception', 'sharing the same prison', 'the audience with the concubine', and the last item 'marriage meeting'. In general, these procedures are very cumbersome. But it is precisely because of this that it is justified." (Note 1)

"Lian'er naturally knows what Aunt Hong said." Yu Lian'er nodded at first, then said, "But if I stay in Chang'an, I'm a little worried..."

"You are already the Princess of Chu, what else do you have to worry about?" Hong Fu Nu said unhappily, "Why, are you disappointed that I have been holding you back these days and not letting you be alone with His Highness?"

"Oh! Aunt Hong..." Yu Lian'er said shyly, "I didn't think so much..."

“Aunt Hong, please give me some face…” Seeing that Yu Lian’er was at a disadvantage, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu immediately chimed in, “After all, she is still my daughter-in-law.”

"Oh..." Hong Fu Nu shook her head helplessly after hearing that. Then she reached out and took out a booklet from her bosom: "This is what your uncle Li prepared for you. In the future, read it more often when you have nothing to do. Remember, when you can recite it by heart, kill it. When you are old in the future, write another military book and pass it down."

“This is…” Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu stretched out his hands and respectfully took the book. On the cover of the book were three characters written in a flamboyant style – “Six Military Mirrors”: “Wow… It seems that Uncle Li has really tried his best to become a master of military strategy – he actually passed on all his best skills to me!”

“Your Highness, the Prince of Chu…” Seeing his own master start to get cocky again, Gangzi, who was a “professional cold-water thrower”, naturally couldn’t stand it any longer: “Before you and Master Yu became famous… Lord Li was already a master of military tactics!”

"Are you looking for a beating?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu frowned slightly upon hearing this. "I just wanted to liven up the atmosphere. Now that you say that - do I still want to save face? Does Master Yu still want to save face?"

"Alright, alright..." Hong Fu Nu saw that King Chu was about to fight with Yuan Tiangang again. After all the time together, she was used to it. "Your Highness, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, as long as you think my husband and I can help, just write to Chang'an. In addition, your uncle Li meant that you should not rush to get married. You should wait at least another year. Although this may make Lian'er wait until she is an old maid, if you don't settle down in Qiongzhou, then at the time of the wedding... I'm afraid there will be changes."

"Hmm..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu nodded when he heard this. He knew that Li Jing's advice to him was obviously the result of careful consideration. As the well-deserved god of war of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing's political level might not be good, but his military strategic vision was at the ceiling level. Therefore, he hoped that the Prince of Chu would consider other things after he had managed Qiongzhou into an ironclad entity.

After all, the emperor's heart is as deep as an abyss, and no one can predict when the man in Chang'an City will turn against him.

After finishing the discussion of business, when they were about to part, His Royal Highness the King of Chu reached out and squeezed Yu Lian'er's soft and boneless little hand, then bowed deeply to Hong Fu Nu, and then set off for Qiongzhou with a group of retainers.

This time, he left with extreme determination. Even though there were people in Chang'an City whom he cared about, he could not turn back.

When a young man walks, he is like a gentle breeze across a river, or like pine trees and moon on a hill. He does not care about privacy or calculations, but only wants to be open and honest.

However, the open-minded Prince of Chu never thought that not long after leaving Chang'an, he would actually see a dozen Ferghana horses and a group of idiots sitting in a row, all dressed in gorgeous brocade robes and wearing conical hats, pretending to fish while skipping stones and sticking their fishing rods in the mud on the shore, beside a small river beside the official road.

"Xuan Ce, don't look over there, hurry up and leave!" When His Royal Highness the King of Chu saw this posture, he could guess with the nail of Li Huairen's little finger what kind of gang this was and what allusion they were planning to imitate.

If Jiang Taigong had fished like you did, King Wen of Zhou would have suspected that he was a spy sent by King Zhou of Shang.

"Your Majesty, are you not going to dismount and say hello to me?" - Why could Li Huairen and the others be so calm? Now the answer is here, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also here.

"What?" His Royal Highness Prince Chu thought he was hallucinating: "Brother?"

"You still remember that I'm your elder brother?" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness took off his bamboo hat and looked at his brother who had already started to dismount. He said leisurely, "I heard that the young lady of the Yu family has already gone to the border to be with you through thick and thin. Do you know that because of this, I was almost chopped to death by Wei Shuyi?"

"Huh?!" His Highness the Prince of Chu had not expected that among his confidantes, there was such a master: "Is Shuyi okay?"

"Second brother, why don't you care if big brother is okay..." As everyone knows, Qingque has always been the most loyal brother of King Chu, but speaking objectively, he feels that his second brother seems to have forgotten his brothers after having a beauty: "To be honest, if big brother hadn't been so magnanimous and suppressed this matter, Sister Shuyi would definitely be punished!"

"It's not that serious." - Li Ke, who was standing next to Li Tai, couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and then explained to his second brother: "In fact, I just hit my eldest brother's waist with a bamboo sword - my eldest brother recently married Hou Junji's daughter, and that girl, relying on her status as the prince's concubine, spoke rudely to Your Highness the King of Chu, and it happened to be heard by Shuyi who came to the palace to visit Sizi, and then...
