Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]

After entering the mansion, the whole courtyard looked very large, with a sense of emptiness and loneliness. Sister Yang Ruoxi sent Empress Xiao all the way to the main courtyard. There were already more than a dozen maidservants, nuns, and servants waiting in the main hall. These servants were all lived in by Yang Ruoxi. Afterwards, I bought it from the slave market, and only adjusted/taught it a little bit, without making too many arrangements. These things will be arranged by Empress Xiao, who is the hostess of this mansion.

"Mother, these are all new servants. Mother can arrange them by herself." Yang Ruoxi briefly introduced the situation, and the servants came to meet the mistress one by one.

Empress Xiao glanced at them one by one, and then said: "I only have a nanny by my side, and there is indeed a shortage of people." Then she ordered two maidservants to serve her, and said: "This is the case for the time being, and we will make adjustments later."

The three Yang Ruohua sisters had a lot of expressions. They didn't have a maid by their side, so they had someone to serve.

Empress Xiao glanced sideways at the three concubines, then turned to ask Yang Ruoxi, "San Niang, can you arrange someone for your sisters?"

Yang Ruoxi shook her head: "I don't know what my younger sisters like, so I don't want to designate someone to serve my younger sisters without authorization. The mother or the younger sisters can make arrangements for themselves." The maidservants she chose are all of good character, and their temperaments are not sharp or strong, but they may not Too good at winking, now the mother and younger sister have temporarily chosen the person to serve, and I am afraid that they will be replaced by the younger sisters themselves in the near future.

Empress Xiao nodded: "In that case, then I will point out two servants for each of you." These maidservants seem to be okay, so let's use them for the time being, and change them yourself if you are not satisfied.

The three of Yang Ruohua breathed a sigh of relief, Empress Xiao looked at their serious expressions, and ordered: "Si Niang, Wu Niang, and Liu Niang, this is not what it used to be, restrain your temper, if you let me know that you are playing your temper, Don't blame me for being unkind."

The faces of Yang Ruohua and the others changed immediately, but facing their aunt, they still didn't dare to refute, and nodded obediently.

But the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. Empress Xiao sighed slightly, hoping that they could really recognize themselves and not be too ambitious, otherwise she would not be able to save them.

"Choose the yard yourself, don't make mistakes."

Afterwards, the main courtyard began to get busy. Sister Yang Ruoxi and Yang Ruomei led Yang Ruohua and the three to choose a courtyard. The three looked at the empty courtyards. There were quite a few courtyards, but they didn't even look at the courtyards that were too far away from the main courtyard. His eyes wandered among the four courtyards of Nongyu Xiaozhu, Tingxuetang, Qingzhixie, and Tinglan Wateri.

Among them, Tinglan Waterside Pavilion is the largest yard where Yang Ruoxi and Yang Ruomei live. Inside is a small mansion with rockery, flowers, birds, insects and fish, pavilions and waterside pavilions.Nongyu Xiaozhu is the closest courtyard to the main courtyard. Tingxuetang and Qingzhixie are the two courtyards on the right of Tinglan Waterside Pavilion. Qingzhi Pavilion and Qingzhi Pavilion also have their own advantages. Their area is larger than Nongyu Xiaozhu, but the decorations in the yard are not as good as Nongyu Xiaozhu.

"Fourth Sister, Fifth Sister, Sixth Sister, Seventh Sister and I live in the Tinglan Water Pavilion. You can choose other places as you like. After you choose, let the maids around you go to the steward to get quilts and sheets."

Yang Ruohua and the others reluctantly turned their eyes away from the Tinglan waterside pavilion, and wandered around the third courtyard of Nongyu Xiaozhu. However, the three of them ran in to have a look, their expressions seemed to be satisfied.

"Third Sister, can I go into the Tinglan Waterside Pavilion and have a look?" Yang Ruohua begged with trembling voice, the look in his eyes was very pitiful.

Yang Ruoxi nodded: "Yes." Yang Ruomei hid behind her sister and snickered, and after they went in to have a look, she was afraid that she would feel dissatisfied.

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, the three of Yang Ruohua came back, Yang Ruoxi saw from a distance, their expressions were very upset, but after they left the yard, the expressions on their faces calmed down, of course they were still young, and their expressions couldn't really be restrained enough to see Yang Ruoxi could tell without a trace, she felt that the biggest change in her this year was knowing how to read people's hearts, it seemed that she could see through others' thoughts at a glance.

"Third sister, Tinglan Waterside Pavilion is so beautiful." Yang Ruolian bit her lip, as if she had worked very hard to say such a sentence, her eyes erratically looked at Yang Ruohua and Yang Ruoyan's two sisters.

Yang Ruoxi just raised her eyebrows: "Thank you." Yang Ruohua had no choice but to say weakly, "Third sister's yard is full of birds and flowers, but other yards are full of weeds..."

Yang Ruoxi said lightly: "I take care of my own yard. The Tinglan waterside pavilion is decorated according to the preferences of my seventh sister and me. After the three sisters choose the yard, they can dress up according to their own preferences. Naturally, it can be so beautiful."

The three of Yang Ruohua, you look at me, I look at you, they seem to have compromised aggrievedly, and then the three divided the yard very peacefully, which surprised Yang Ruoxi, Yang Ruoyan chose Nongyu Xiaozhu, Yang Ruohua listened to Xuetang, and Yang Ruolian Qing Zhixie.

The three of them took their servants into the yard to settle down. Yang Ruomei looked at their backs with a very surprised expression on her face. She pulled Yang Ruoxi's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Sister, why didn't they quarrel?" ?”

Yang Ruoxi patted her on the forehead and said with a smile, "Why didn't you quarrel? This shows that you underestimated them. People will grow up, and they will naturally grow up and know how to endure."

Yang Ruomei immediately turned her face: "Ah, they were not easy to deal with before, so won't they be even more difficult to deal with in the future?"

Yang Ruoxi couldn't help laughing, Yang Ruomei tugged at her sleeve, still chattering endlessly: "Sister, when they gain a firm foothold in Chang'an, they will definitely try to bully me, you can't just leave me alone."

"You are also 11 years old. You have to deal with some things by yourself. If they bother you, you can go back." Yang Ruoxi was unmoved, this girl has a lot of thoughts, how could she be bullied so easily, let alone Yang Ruohua and the other three Even if you bully her, it won't be too much. For the sake of the sisters, they won't kill her. They just want to show off in front of her. There is a saying that can best describe them. If you are not doing well, that is sunny.

Because Empress Xiao and the others had to settle down, the dinner was postponed until halfway through the hour of Xu, when all the people gathered in the main courtyard. It's not as heavy as it was when I saw it just now.

However, after seeing the food on the table, Empress Xiao couldn't help her eyes turning red. She looked at Sister Yang Ruoxi and said, "Sanniang, Qiniang, you are interested."

Ordinary people's parents die, as children, they must observe filial piety, the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, and the husband dies and the sons and grandchildren are gone. In the past year, Empress Xiao and the others want to live more, and they have no conditions to keep filial piety. They think about living every day In the future, not to mention keeping filial piety for the dead, they are rarely even talked about on weekdays.

The three of Yang Ruohua looked at the table full of vegetarian dishes, and they had a bit of a bad expression on their faces, but they couldn't make up their minds, so they had to keep silent, and seemed to understand after hearing what their mother said.

Yang Ruoxi shook her head: "This is the only thing my daughter can do. Besides, she can't do anything else."

Empress Xiao was silent for a while, and sighed for a long time: "You have done a good job."

"Let's start the banquet." Empress Xiao took the lead, and all the people had their own dinner. During the banquet, Empress Xiao also fed the little grandson with thick rice soup. This is something that the mansion can only do for children, because I didn't know there were children before. , Yang Ruoxi didn't prepare goat's milk or cow's milk, so she had to wait until tomorrow to prepare them. Fortunately, her pastry shop also needed milk, so she didn't need to buy extra, and temporarily shared some milk from the pastry shop for the children.

After dinner, everyone went back to their respective courtyards and had a good night's sleep.

On the second day, the sky was slightly brighter, and the whole house was in motion. Because of the addition of Empress Xiao, sister Yang Ruoxi added one more item to her morning itinerary, which was to greet her aunt.

This was the first day, but after seeing them, Empress Xiao made it clear that there was no need to follow the time and rules for greeting them in the morning.

What's more, when is it not possible to ask for peace?It's not like someone can turn their backs on their backs early in the morning, not to mention that she has to take care of the children, it's better to arrange her own time.

However, before Yang Ruoxi went out, a visitor came to the mansion, and it was Yang You. Yang Ruoxi was not surprised to see him.

It's just that Yang Ruoxi and Yang Ruomei haven't seen him once in Chang'an City for several months, and there aren't many rumors about him in the city. They only know that he was named Duke of Feng by the Tang Emperor, and he has never been out of the palace.

"Third Aunt, Seventh Aunt." Yang You weakly called twice, this is a 14-year-old boy, when he saw Yang Ruoxi sisters, his eyes were still dodging.

He was a little guilty, knowing that the two aunts were in Chang'an, but he never came to see them.

Yang Ruomei looked at him secretly, the eldest nephew had been killed by Yu Wenhuaji together with his father, the second nephew was still acting as the puppet emperor in Luoyang, and the third nephew was now Duke Feng of Datang.

Yang You had been worrying about his own life before, and since the Duke of Feng's mansion was all the emperor's people, he simply didn't go out. Today, because his grandmother came, he immediately found the backbone, so he went out to meet his grandmother. .

"Follow me to see mother." Seeing him, Yang Ruoxi didn't have any thoughts in her heart, the only thing was a little sad. Of course, there is no need for a nephew to feel guilty, they are elders, and they should take care of him.

Unexpectedly, after entering the main courtyard, when Empress Xiao saw him, she couldn't help crying. Yang You knelt in front of her grandmother, and the grandparents and grandson hugged and cried.

The eldest son died young, leaving behind three grandsons, but the eldest grandson was killed by traitors along with her husband, so the other two grandsons stayed in Chang'an and Luoyang, and they are still alive now, maybe there will be another grandson soon I will also come to Chang'an.

The second son and two older grandsons were also killed together, leaving a posthumous grandson, and now her only comfort is that her two sons have left blood.

After Empress Xiao vented her anger, she caught her grandson and asked him questions. Yang You was originally a smart person, but a shocking change made him difficult. What else could he do at this point?

He can't do anything, otherwise, if he has a different heart, Emperor Tang won't keep him.

As the grandson of a subjugated emperor, although it seems very courageous to live like this, it is easy to die, but sometimes it is difficult to live, and for him, living is as difficult as dying.

"Yu'er, no matter what our identities were in the past, we will only be ordinary nobles of the Tang Dynasty in the future. Grandma only wants you to live and pass on your father's blood. Don't wait until the history books record Zhao'er in the future, it only records that he has three One son, but no grandson." Empress Xiao's eyes were red and swollen.

Yang You lowered his eyes slightly, and said after a while: "Grandmother, even if grandson wants to, he doesn't have the strength. When grandfather was there, there were rebels all over the world. If the Yang family's prestige is gone, grandson doesn't have anyone to support him, so he can't do much. "

At such a young age, he has already seen through that his grandfather ruined the reputation of the Yang family, even if there are some courtiers from the previous Sui Dynasty who support him, what can he do?

"This world belongs to the common people. Only when the common people support him can the emperor sit firmly."

A reassuring smile appeared on Empress Xiao's face, and she said, "It's good that you can think like this. Grandmother only needs you to live well, and don't do anything."

Yang Ruoxi thought, this nephew knew in his heart that if his father hadn't been such a prodigal, he would be a good emperor if the throne passed to this nephew in the future, but it's a pity that he didn't have the fate to be an emperor.

Empress Xiao left her eldest grandson behind, and she was arranged in the guest room on the left side of the main courtyard for the time being, because she still didn't know what Emperor Tang thought about her grandson. She was thinking about when to see Emperor Tang, even if Yang Guang had conflicts with him before, Her cousin has never treated him badly.

After a while, someone came from the palace and called Empress Xiao into the palace to face the saint.

After noon, Empress Xiao came out of the palace. Although she didn't know what she had talked with Emperor Tang, it was obvious to the naked eye that her spirit suddenly relaxed a lot, and she also had expectations for the future in her eyes. For Empress Xiao, the only thing she valued was The only ones are the two grandsons who are still alive. Tang Huang promised that as long as they don't cause trouble, he will not kill them, but there are many ghosts and ghosts in this world, who are best at sowing dissension, so that they can do their own thing.

Just a few days passed in such a blink of an eye, good news came from the front line. Wang Shichong, who had nowhere to go, surrendered to Datang. Soon Wang Shichong and his family will be sent back to Chang'an, and the puppet emperor Yang Yu and his family will naturally be sent to Chang'an .

The three armies on the front line converged and after Wang Shichong's army was incorporated, they began to recruit Xiao Xian and Lin Shihong. These two men were in the east. Datang has now conquered all the territory, and only these three people are missing. They have no chance of winning against the Datang army, and they will be recruited soon.

Li Xie joined his two younger brothers, there was no one else in the army tent except Li Shimin and Li Yuanji.

At this moment, Li Xie was criticizing Li Yuanji, this guy was brave and had too many disputes with the generals in the army. Although he did not miss a major event and made meritorious service in the end, this trend cannot last long.

Li Yuanji bowed his head and listened to his elder brother's lesson, no matter what he said, he repented on the surface, but he refused to repent in private, and Li Xie had nothing to do about it. The education of the past few years had played a role, and he could tell the difference between the serious and the serious.

Li Shimin watched his elder brother teach his fourth younger brother a lesson, at first he felt a little gloating, but the more he looked at it, the more sad he felt. He happened to receive a letter from Chang'an. He was still thinking about it, but seeing his elder brother coming, it seemed that he was not useful on the front line. landed.

"Brother, I won't participate in the subsequent battles. Wuyou is about to die, and I want to go back to Chang'an."

Li Xie sneered: "Leave you alone for now, see you at the training ground in the evening, I have to loosen your skin."

Li Yuanji's originally relieved expression suddenly collapsed. It was very painful for the elder brother to beat someone. He was very strong, but after the elder brother beat him, he seemed to be lifting a ten thousand catty cauldron. It takes a few days to recover after being hollowed out, and when it recovers, it can only lie on the bed, unable to move, no different from a dead dog.

"The second lady is going to give birth?" Li Xie didn't care about Li Yuanji, and immediately discussed with Li Shimin about the unborn milk baby. Li Shimin couldn't keep up with the big brother's topic, and always felt that the big brother was a little too excited. .

Finally, Li Xie said: "You can go back to Chang'an, but you have to keep all your soldiers for me."

After Li Mi was murdered, his subordinates fled, and then, like Qin Shubao, he was recruited by Li Shimin by accident. Li Shimin came out this time and recruited many generals to follow him back to Chang'an. Isn't that a waste?Naturally, it is best to stay on the front line.

Walking out of the military tent, Li Shimin was still thinking about his elder brother's intentions, and couldn't figure it out. Li Yuanji, who came out from behind, changed his previous decline. He patted Li Shimin's shoulder seriously and said, "Second brother, Go back and get along well with your little nephew, at least let your little nephew know you as your real father before your eldest brother returns to Chang'an, otherwise..." Isn't it sad that the son feels that the uncle is closer between his own father and uncle?

Li Yuanji left shaking his head. Hearing the sound of applause from the training ground, he immediately ran over. In the training ground, Qin Shubao happened to be competing with Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin and others. Kung fu generals, when they sparred, they punched to the flesh, and all the people fought heartily, which was very enjoyable, and the applause was endless.

Li Shimin walked a few more steps, and suddenly understood the meaning of the fourth brother's words, his expression changed drastically, and then his whole face became tangled again.

Big brother won't really want to adopt his son, will he?this……

The next day, Li Shimin returned to Chang'an with tangled emotions. He only brought more than 20 personal soldiers, and the large army remained at the front line. He was not afraid of his subordinates betraying him. , even if he tried every means, he couldn't keep it.

It's a pity that Li Shimin was still on his way, Chang'an Qin/Prince's Mansion, Changsun Wuyou had already given birth, and on the ninth day of April when the sun jumped out of the horizon and the red light reflected the earth for an instant, the eldest son was born safely. After giving birth to the child, Changsun Wuyou fell into a coma Yes, before she woke up, Li Yuan's imperial decree arrived.

This is Li Yuan's eldest grandson, who was named Li Chengqian by him.

But after Li Yuan bestowed the name, the officials in Chang'an City gathered in twos and threes to discuss. His Majesty valued the eldest grandson, which is understandable, and there is nothing wrong with giving the name, but Li Chengqian, this name can make people think about it.

It's not just other people's fantasy, Changsun Wuyou woke up, and after hearing the maid's report, the whole person became entangled, what does father-in-law mean by this?

what for?The officials wondered, could it be that His Majesty began to suspect the crown prince?Dissatisfied with the crown prince's unprecedented reputation, he began to value His Royal Highness King Qin, and wanted His Highness King Qin to fight His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Li Shimin was not far away from Chang'an, and the news of Chang'an was reported to him immediately. He was really happy to hear that the child was born, and it was a son. This was his eldest son, the child of him and Wuyou.But the next moment, when he heard that his father named the child Li Chengqian, his expression drooped immediately.

This tangled expression lasted until Li Shimin entered Chang'an, but he was not as bold and fearless as Li Xie. After he entered Chang'an City, the first thing he did was to visit his father in the palace.

Li Yuan was also very happy to see him. He hadn't seen his son for a few months and suddenly saw that he was much more mature than before he left for the expedition. Naturally, his father was filled with emotion.

"Second Lady has made a great contribution and gave birth to your eldest son, you have to treat Second Lady well."

It's okay if Li Yuan doesn't mention it, but when he mentions it, Li Shimin's face becomes tangled. In the past, he likes to hide his worries in his heart. As a man, he doesn't like to confide bitterness to his father, but as the saying goes, a crying child has milk. , This sentence is common in all families, and Li Shimin has always been impatient, Li Yuan treats this son more coldly, just trying to suppress his temper, but as time goes by, if the father and son do not communicate, misunderstandings will increase. , then it will gradually drift away.

Li Yuan said with emotion: "Husband and wife are old companions. After your mother left, I often think of this sentence."

Li Shimin felt sour, Li Yuan didn't notice this change in his mood, looked at him with relief, and said: "Go, go, go back and see Er Niangzi, and Chengqian, I'll talk about what I have to say later."

Li Shimin, who was about to turn around and leave, did not leave. He lowered his head and asked, "Father, I would like to ask, what does the name Chengqian mean? Is it because the elder brother intends to..."

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, seeing that Li Shimin didn't know what to say, Li Shimin raised his head to look at him, and the father and son looked at each other.

Li Yuan coughed and said: "Well, your elder brother may not recover physically, and there must be an heir, but your elder brother said that there is no need for adoption. The child belongs to your husband and wife, but he also has the right to raise and educate the child. It is expected that he will be the prince after Tang Dynasty."

Li Yuan waved his hand, and finally said: "You guys go to discuss this matter, father only hopes that you don't hurt the brotherhood, there have always been a lot of royal brothers killing each other, now the world is basically peaceful, the world is full of talents, everyone wants to show them Dad hopes that you will never be used by those who want to, Dad hopes that you brothers will live in peace, otherwise if you go to the underworld in the future, not only will it be difficult for me to face your mother, but it will also be difficult for you to face her."

Yang Mansion is the new plaque that Yang Ruoxi and the others put up in their mansion. Empress Xiao has straightened out the affairs of the mansion bit by bit during this time. This plaque was also hung up according to her wishes. Here, his Duke of Feng's mansion is an empty house anyway, unpopular and extremely deserted.

Ever since Li Chengqian was born, every time Yang You sees Yang Ruoxi, the hesitant expression makes people look very depressed.

Yang You very much agrees with the matter of the third aunt marrying the prince of the Tang Dynasty. He also thinks that the third aunt will give birth to a child with the prince. If he becomes emperor in the future, the blood of the emperor also has the blood of the Yang family. /The young prince of the mansion gave the name Li Chengqian, the meaning is self-evident!

Not everyone knew about the Prince's illness. Anyway, Empress Xiao and Yang You didn't know about it, so they were a little depressed.

"You don't have to think about the prince's heir. Many years ago, the prince was injured when he went to war. After he recovered from the injury, everything else will be fine. There is only one sequelae, that is, not being able to have children."

Yang Ruoxi said calmly, while her mother and nephew were hesitant to speak to her, she had no choice but to speak out.

Empress Xiao and Yang You sighed deeply, and at the same time they both thought in their hearts, no wonder the Tang Emperor would agree to the crown prince marrying Sanniang/Third Aunt, that's why.

The two took a deep look at Yang Ruoxi, Yang Ruoxi was about to go crazy, this pitiful and regretful expression made her even more depressed, do women have to have children?

Yang Ruoxi turned around and left. Sure enough, it was hard to find like-minded people, so she went to inspect the shops and think about how to increase the turnover!

Unexpectedly, after she got off the carriage, someone bumped into her. She looked down and didn't know what to do?A two-year-old boy, he tugged at her skirt, raised his head and looked at her cutely.
