After the prosperous Tang Dynasty

Xiao Yansui's doubts about Anlu Mountain did not come to fruition until the hot summer was about to pass.

The four towns under the jurisdiction of Anlu Mountain are still relatively stable. With the outbreak of the Nanzhao Rebellion, it seems that even Tubo in the northwest area has temporarily stopped.

On the contrary, in Chang'an City, with Li Linfu's death and Yang Guozhong's rise to power, the core political center of the Tang Dynasty, several forces and forces seemed to be reshuffled.

Originally, Donggong was on good terms with the Yang family, but with Yang Guozhong wantonly seizing power, the relationship between them became more and more tense.

--Without the former enemy Li Linfu, Prince Li Heng still can't sit back and relax, even if Yang Guozhong is not as good as Li Linfu, but behind him, there is always the Concubine Yang who is loved by the six palaces, People can't help but think of Li Linfu when Concubine Wu Hui was still there...

Li Tan, who had just finished talking with Xiao Song, couldn't help feeling a little preoccupied. When he came out of the house, he saw Xiao Yansui sitting under a lush tree by the lotus pond. Because he was afraid of the heat, his long hair was combed. A high ponytail, and in order not to let the hair touch a little bit of the position below the neck, it is tied up directly behind the head--it is still the kind, completely different from the various hairstyles that are popular nowadays, quite Xiao Yansui On weekdays, I try to be comfortable and like the appearance.

Li Tan walked over with strides, near the water surface, there was a large area of ​​green willows again, beside Xiao Yansui was a hand-operated fan with ice cubes, which brought a little coolness in the hot summer The wind blew by, but it instantly relieved a bit of the exhaustion from the heat and refreshed people's spirits.

"Why do you look so preoccupied?" Xiao Yansui raised his head and glanced at Li Tan, even though he himself was worried, he rarely showed it when he was in front of her.

"Come on, drink some of this." Xiao Yansui handed over a bowl of fruit smoothie that had already melted a little.

There was a little smile on Li Tan's face, he took the cup in a good manner, and then sat down beside Xiao Yansui, looking at the calm lake at this time, after a long while, he said softly: "I just told Mr. Xiao Ask me, the current situation in the DPRK."

Xiao Yansui blinked, and commented quite objectively: "In this regard, I, Aunt, still have some experience, but I think that the two of you are not in Chang'an City now, and the news you get is not only lagging, but also inevitable Some are inaccurate, and they are definitely not comprehensive enough. Under such circumstances, any judgment made by anyone can easily be biased."

It's not like when Xiao Song just came back, he has been away from Chang'an City for so long, the longer the time, the more unexpected things will happen to his grasp of the situation in Chang'an City.Li Tan was stunned, then nodded lightly, and said with a smile: "I understand, this is like, on the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly. After relying on the information obtained from the rear, intervening in the frontline battle situation will cause delays."

After a pause, Li Tan said softly again: "My twelfth younger brother is the son of Zhang Liangdi. Previously, because of Wei Shi and Du Shi's accidents, the internal strife in the East Palace has never been revealed. It's beginning to show..."

Xiao Yansui immediately understood.

Previously, although there were many children under the crown prince Li Heng's knees, there were almost none of them with a high enough status. The original heirs of the former prince concubine Wei Shi's status was even more embarrassing...

As the eldest son of the crown prince and the eldest grandson of Xuanzong, Li Chu didn't say that his family was the only one, at least, no one in the previous East Palace could surpass him.

However, when Zhang Liangdi gave birth to Li Bi, the situation in the East Palace changed in an instant.Zhang Liangdi's relationship with Crown Prince Li Heng is no different from Concubine Wu Hui's relationship with Xuanzong. Now that Li Bi is still young, Crown Prince Li Heng already loves him very much. In time, his existence will shake Li Chu's position, which is almost inevitable... …

Xiao Yansui knew that Li Tan would definitely support Li Chu unconditionally, so he calmly comforted him: "It's too early to worry about these things."

After all, Crown Prince Li Heng has not yet succeeded in succeeding to the throne, and Li Bi is too young. In terms of the survival rate of ancient infants and young children, he was born in the royal family and was favored by the royal family.At the moment, the Eastern Palace is only showing signs of internal fighting. The external enemy is still there, so the internal chaos of the Eastern Palace is naturally not enough.

Li Tan nodded, replied with a "hmm", and heaved a sigh of relief, looked at her and said softly, "Okay."

Cold comes and summer goes, time flies by.

Li Tan stayed in Shanhai Town all the time. Although he was concerned about it, he stayed away from the power struggles in Chang'an City. He often worked with Xiao Yansui, planting vegetables today and fertilizing the next. Xiao Yansui had many ideas since he was a child. Yes, by the way, some farm tools have been slightly changed.

Although Shanhai Town is a small place, occasionally those big ships from the same Yangzhou City will pass by the wharf here. By chance, Xiao Yansui also brought some foreign plants that Li Tan had never heard of before, and excitedly took them all Some of them were planted in the vegetable greenhouse in Zhuangzi, and they were meticulously accompanied every day to observe the growth of the seedlings, which was even more meticulous than when doing the experiments she liked before.

After a long time, Li Tan's mood became more and more relaxed.

Seeing that neither Xiao Song nor Xiao Yansui's ancestors and grandchildren ever mentioned the matter of going back to Chang'an, he even had a feeling in his heart that he would just stay here and be with her so peacefully but extraordinarily vividly. expectations of living on.

Time flies in a flash.

It was snowing outside the window that day, Xiao Song was wearing presbyopic glasses and holding a book, suddenly remembered something, looked at Xiao Yansui who was flipping through the blueprints of Mohist machines, and said, "Li Tan is not bad."

Xiao Yansui raised her head upon hearing the sound, "Huh?"

Now that he started the conversation, Xiao Song continued: "He has been here for so long, so he can calm down."

Although Xiao Song never blocked the communication between his granddaughter and Li Tan, to be honest, Xiao Song didn't think that Li Tan could stay here for a long time.

Persisting until now, not only did Li Tan not change his original intention, but in his opinion, he even became more open-minded. Rao Xiao Song couldn't help feeling admiration.

Young people are full of vigor, especially Li Tan, who has been immersed in power since childhood. Because of an agreement, he can accompany Xiao Yansui every day to do what she likes. His personality is reserved but not old-fashioned. Such a disposition is really rare. .

"Otherwise, why don't you go back to the muddy water?" Xiao Yansui disagreed.

Xiao Song laughed at her: "You don't admire power, but you don't know that the people and affairs in the world are fighting for your life, nothing more than the word 'right'. As for the matter of wading into the muddy water, Ah Weng did say before, It's true that you don't want to swim in the muddy water at will, but after being far away from Chang'an City for so long, I'm afraid that even the chance to swim in the muddy water is gone..."

Xiao Yansui couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and was silent for a while, but she didn't brag about herself in front of Xiao Song. Although the things she tinkered with every day were only faint signs, they could definitely improve productivity during the holidays. What promotes the progress and development of the times, she is rich in scientific spirit.

After a long time, Xiao Song said with emotion: "It's time for him to go back."
