Yuan Xuandu left the palace, rode a horse and went straight to Helianhou's mansion.After Helian Lewu came down to court, he has been managing at home. Hearing that he came to visit, he asked the housekeeper to invite him in, and at the same time asked the maid to go to the backyard and called the lady.

When Yuan Xuandu entered the mansion, the one who received the guests in the flower hall in person was the little princess Helian Chunhua.This is not the first time he has come here, and it is not the first time that the eldest grandson Wugou treats guests alone, but today, both of them seemed very happy. After the eldest grandson Wugou walked over and saluted, he smiled at Yuan Xuandu He said: "Brother is here at this time, he must be impatient to share Erlang's victory with me?"

"Why, you already know?" Yuan Xuandu picked up the tea set on the table and made tea for his sister.The eldest grandson Wugou put the dessert plate on the table in front of him, and said with a flat smile: "Brother borrowed the east wind from the front line to expedite the [-] li, and also sent a letter back home, the emperor's kindness is great, and the letter was delivered very quickly Good morning, I happened to be in my father's study before, so I read it together."

A girl from an ordinary official family would naturally not be able to enter her father's study easily, but she did it very easily. With judgment in mind, he must not be able to get to where he is today.

"Thinking about it, Young Master Helian is still satisfied with Erlang's brother-in-law?" He just asked with a smile.

The eldest grandson Wugou pursed his lips and smiled: "He praised Erlang's ability very much, and bluntly said that he will become a generation of sages in the future, and I am lucky to be able to follow him now—but he always felt that he fell in love with me at first sight. , It’s really too frivolous, let me not get caught up in it, and take care of myself.”

Yuan Xuandu looked up at her: "That's because his love for you outweighs his loyalty, because he is an older brother and you are his younger sister."

The eldest grandson Wugou said: "That's right, it's just like how you treat A Ji, brother, right?"

She always had a soft smile on her face, she didn't seem to be dissatisfied with the status quo, but Yuan Xuandu could clearly see the regret floating in her heart: It's a pity that Helian Chunshui is not the eldest grandson Wuji after all.

"...You two husband and wife, sometimes you really think the same way, so I don't even know what to say." Yuan Xuandu complained.

The eldest grandson Wugou was calm and relaxed, but he didn't say much about it.This regret may be an unavoidable problem in rebirth, but since I have already enjoyed the benefits of rebirth, how can I comment too much on my current life?

"Is there anything else you want to tell me, brother?" She asked softly.

"Wait for that first, when Wei Zheng comes, let's talk about it together." Yuan Xuandu poured tea into the cup in front of her, and first talked to her about some miscellaneous things that happened in the palace in the past few days.

After a while Wei Zheng came over, sat down and drank two cups of tea first, Yuan Xuandu carried the teapot to refill him tea, while joking with him: "Look, our Zheng Guogong is so tired, he hasn't talked less these days. .”

"Although it is doing useless work, we must not lose the dignity of a great country." Wei Zheng was talking about the back-and-forth quarrels with Jin Guolai envoys in recent months.Although they have lost their momentum since the news of Wanyan Aguda's capture, and now they have the intention of bowing their heads to seek peace, but considering Li Shimin's temperament, they should take this opportunity to take down the entire Dajin in one go, so he Now it's just a matter of talking to them.

"I don't know why Mr. Yuan is looking for me and your empress?" He was very pragmatic, and he didn't exchange too many greetings with others, so he immediately got to the point.Yuan Xuandu smiled at him, and said straight to the point: "Actually, it's also my selfishness. In the Tang Dynasty, every time Erlang won a battle, I always prepared a gift for him as a reward. After returning from this great victory, if I don’t have something good to give him here, wouldn’t it be chilling for our hard-working His Royal Highness King Qin?”

When he spoke, he couldn't hide the pride and pride on his face at all, and the smile flowed through his beautiful eyes like water.Hearing this, Wei Zheng couldn't help but pause slightly with the hand holding the teacup.

When Yuan Xuandu disappeared in the past, he was still a counselor under the command of Prince Li Jiancheng. He didn't have much contact with this person, and naturally he didn't know his way of life, but after getting along with him for this period of time, he vaguely understood, Why does Li Shimin value him so much.

In the past in Chang'an City, when the battle report of King Qin's victory came from the front line, the prince had never shown such an expression.At that time, the East Palace was gloomy, and there was no sense of joy at all. The crown prince was choked by the invincible achievements of the King of Qin and the reputation of ascending to heaven. , although this move achieved short-term success, it was finally reduced to dust under the overwhelming counterattack of King Qin.

Back then outside the Xuanwu Gate, he personally killed the prince, and forced the emperor to make him the new prince, but he had no fear, shame, or remorse about it, as if this matter could not shake his heart at all; But in the following decades, although the Yuan brothers and sisters never appeared in front of people again, he still firmly believed that they still existed in the world, and kept sending people all over the world to search for their traces.

Of course, the Tian family's struggle for power and the lack of family affection are indispensable to this, but could it be... also because he has already obtained a better, gentler friendship that has no desires or demands for him?

He couldn't help lowering his eyes to contemplate, but he heard Changsun Wugou say with a smile: "Elder brother also said, it's all because you spoiled Erlang too much in the past, whenever you have any good things in your hand, you always think about him first and make trouble for him." Afterwards, he didn’t care about what other people gave him.”

"I'm wronged, what do you mean I spoiled his appetite? His Majesty the Emperor is rich in the world, not to mention he is still Tian Khan, so he is not as easy to please as before." Yuan Xuan didn't care. "Besides, it's fine for other people, little sister, if you just pick a flower in the imperial garden and give it to him, he will be happy, why don't you take it to heart!"

"I didn't talk about myself." Changsun Wugou said with a smile. "Just like what you said, brother, how can others be compared to my concubine?"

Yuan Xuandu: "..." Yes, she and her husband are such a confident duo.

"...All in all, I've already decided what to give him, but I just need your help. It just so happens that we will send this together, and there is no need to prepare anything else." Yuan Xuandu said. "You should all know that in the 17th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, he built the Lingyan Pavilion in the northeast corner of the Taiji Palace, and asked Yan Liben to paint 24 portraits of the founding heroes on the pavilion for the purpose of discussing meritorious deeds and reminiscing about them. Unfortunately, all of them have disappeared now. In the flames of war. He has been talking about the auxiliary machine, Xuanling and the others before, crying endlessly when he mentions it, and he is looking forward to their reincarnation to find him! Reincarnation is a matter of the underworld, and I don’t care about it. He painted 24 portraits, which I can always do."

The reason why he asked Changsun Wugou and Wei Zheng for help was entirely because he left too early. Among the 24 heroes, there were people he was not familiar with. He was afraid that the portrait would be too distorted, and it would not be beautiful.However, when he asked at this moment, he found out that his eldest grandson Wugou had died in Zhenguan for ten years, and Wei Zheng had been ill in Zhenguan for 16 years. The two of them, like him, had never seen the appearance of Lingyan Pavilion, which is famous in later generations. .

"Also, since my elder brother came to the Great Song Dynasty, he must have never read the history books preserved here. The ones hanging in Lingyan Pavilion are not 24 portraits of heroes, but 26 portraits." Changsun Wugou reminded him. "And you and my little sister!"

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Xuandu shuddered all over, and the expression on his face couldn't help becoming completely complicated.He sighed, as if he wanted to say something to his eldest grandson Wugou, but after a moment of deliberation, he changed his rhetoric: "...At least we all know people, you are all outstanding in painting, writing inscriptions, and so on. Let’s get ready. It’s my willfulness to make you work so hard, if you have any difficulties, please let me know, and I will try to help you deal with it.”

The eldest grandson Wugou smiled and said: "Brother said so, it really made my younger sister feel ashamed. Husband and wife are always one, Erlang's matter is my younger sister's own matter, elder brother don't worry, it should be me who wants to thank you. "

Yuan Xuandu glanced at Wei Zheng again inquiringly, and the latter stroked the strands of long beard under his chin slowly, and said calmly: "This kind of good thing that pleases His Majesty and benefits the future, Mr. Yuan can actually take it with you." Together, it is already very flattering, if I don't follow, wouldn't it be too ignorant?"

Yuan Xuan couldn't help laughing: "Master Wei is serious, you are an important minister of the humerus, indispensable to the court, there is no need to please His Majesty, he is afraid that you will not be in time."

He sighed: "I just thought that in the past, he watched his lovers, friends, and subordinates around him change and leave one by one, and finally had to rely on these still and speechless portraits to reminisce about the past, and his heart ached. He, and at that time, I was not by his side!... In the end, it was I who violated the vows I made when we became sworn brothers, and failed to fulfill the responsibility of a sworn brother. Now I try my best to make up for it, just to make myself feel at ease. .”

The eldest grandson Wugou comforted him in a warm voice: "Brother, what did you say? At that time, you were concerned about Aji's safety. Could it be that you did something wrong? Erlang would not blame you for this. Now, you and Aji are under his care." By his side, just like when he was in Datang, I know he couldn't be more satisfied."

"But these are what he deserves in the first place! Younger sister, how can there be any reason for Erlang to be wronged." Yuan Xuandu responded softly.He was only afraid that his brother got too little, and he never felt that he should be satisfied with it, because he was so unique and dazzling, and he should have been loved and admired by the whole world.

Meeting his serious eyes, Changsun Wugou didn't say much anymore, but kept smiling at him.It is precisely because he is always the best brother, so the last meeting in the previous life was only a quarrel, and he didn't even say goodbye properly, which made Li Shimin grieve and never let go. See, their hearts are always connected in one place.

Presumably, this reunion in another world is destiny's compensation for her husband.
