Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

Mingting incense was originally used by Fang Yizhi, but later he didn't use it anymore, and Li Mingda smelled this fragrance from Wei Shuyu's body again.Now this uncommonly used incense suddenly floated over from behind the wall, which is intriguing.

"Nineteenth Lang, let's go?" Yuchi Baoqi rode a few steps forward, turned around and saw that Li Mingda hadn't moved, and shouted with a smile.

Li Mingda responded.She looked back at the place where the smell came from, moved her eyeballs, and rode on the horse funny.

Cheng Chubi led the guards to the rear silently. In order to protect the princess' safety, his eyes were fixed on Li Mingda almost all the time.

However, Cheng Chubi just took a few steps on horseback when he felt something hit him on the arm.He frowned and saw a small stone fell to the ground.

Cheng Chubi stopped his horse, looked back, and saw a half emerald green round jade pendant protruding from behind a stone wall not far away.The color is translucent and very bright.

The accompanying guards sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly asked Cheng Chubi if something was wrong.

"You go first, I'll be there later."

Seeing the guards leave, Cheng Chubi turned his horse's head and walked in the direction of Yupei.

At this moment, Wei Shuyu turned his head to look, and when he saw Cheng Chubi coming by himself, he quickly waved to him and smiled.

Cheng Chubi looked at him coldly, "Why are you here, you dare to come here, if the princess and others find out, I'll see where you put your face."

"I came here to take the risk because of you, and you still blame me." Wei Shuyu gave a rare low-key apology smile, and then solemnly apologized to Cheng Chubi, "I made an excuse not to go with you, and I turned back to play, it was indeed me No. But you should also understand my difficulties. I am determined to be famous in the world in the future. I want to surpass my father. Since I want to stand out on my own, how can I get involved in the selection of a son-in-law? I That is to avoid this, otherwise I would really like to go with you."

"That's why you came here? What's the difference between this and what you said that day?" Cheng Chubi looked coldly, a little impatiently, "If Wei Shizi is fine, you can go and play wherever you want, no one will Interference. Chu Bi still has official duties at the moment, so he will not accompany him."

"Why are you so angry with me? I've explained several times, but why don't you give in?" Wei Shuyu refused to give in, and grabbed Cheng Chubi's horse with his hand, not allowing him to go, "I'll apologize to you again!"

"You haven't figured it out yet. You haven't seen clearly what's wrong. What's the use of just apologizing to me? I don't care if you apologize?"

Cheng Chubi hated Wei Shuyu for not being able to wake up so far, and even more hated himself for being a human being before, so he asked Wei Shuyu to let go.

Wei Shuyu thought that Cheng Chubi was the good brother who always took care of him before, so he didn't let go of his anger.

Cheng Chubi lifted his foot and kicked Wei Shuyu's hand holding the horse's rein, Wei Shuyu instinctively retracted.Cheng Chubi took advantage of this opportunity and galloped away immediately.

Wei Shuyu's face was stunned, he had never been embarrassed like this before.Wei Shuyu felt even more ashamed to see the people who happened to pass by looking at him with mocking eyes.He looked at Cheng Chubi's leaving back with a pale face, and couldn't get any more angry.

"Cheng Chubi, remember, I don't recognize you as a friend anymore!" Wei Shuyu said bitterly, then turned around and called his followers, and rode in another direction.

After Li Mingda set off from the post station, he rode his horse leisurely and walked slowly, which made Yuchi Baoqi a little anxious.Now it's hot today, so I choose to travel in the morning and evening, if I delay for a while, I'm afraid that the scorching heat will be unbearable, Yuchi Baoqi is very afraid that the princess will not be able to bear it.But he was a little embarrassed to urge the princess again, so he discussed it with Fang Yizhi in a low voice and let him speak.Anyway, Fang Yizhi secretly likes to marry a princess, and asking him to say this is to give him a chance, and no matter what offending people, as long as he says it through Fang Yizhi's mouth, the result will not be too bad, the other party will definitely Will not pursue grudges, just so evil.

Don't want to be at this time, but listened to Fang Yi's straightforward: "Needless to say."

"Why don't you say it? There are few opportunities for the princess to come out, and she may not understand the importance of traveling. Tell her, and she will naturally understand. Besides, the princess is smart and gentle, and she is open-minded. You just go and tell her, she I won't care about your proposal." Yuchi Baoqi continued to persuade Fang Yizhi in a low voice.

"She knows." There was a lot of tenderness in Fang Yizhi's clear eyes.

"Ah? Know? How do you know she knows?" Yuchi Baoqi asked.

Fang Yi turned his eyes straight to Yuchi Baoqi.

Yuchi Baoqi fell in love with him as soon as they met each other, turned her head and complained unconvincedly that Fang Yi talked nonsense.

"If you don't believe me, just ask." Fang Yi said straightly, "It's a bet of [-] guan. If I win, the money and the princess will be split in half."

"Eh?" Yuchi Baoqi didn't understand why Fang Yizhi emphasized the way he would divide the money, "We're making a bet, why do you want to give the princess half?"

"Borrowing her blessing, of course I have to thank you."

Fang Yi replied so naturally that Yuchi Baoqi felt that if he won, he should also share half of the princess.

Yuchi Baoqi shuddered, warning herself not to be led astray by Fang Yi, "What if you lose?"

"If you lose, I'll give you [-] guan."

"Fifty thousand? Are you sure? You have that much money?" Yuchi Baoqi questioned.

"Father loves son."

Yuchi Baoqi: "..."

Suddenly, I felt that I was not my own.

For the sake of [-] guan, and in order to have extra money to further please his many confidante, Yuchi Baoqi felt that he really had to fight for it.

Thus, Yuchi Baoqi rushed to Li Mingda in a hurry.

Seeing that the princess who was not looking back, suddenly turned her head and smiled at herself, Yuchi Baoqi was a little nervous, but was suddenly comforted.

This is a good start.

Yuchi Baoqi cupped his hands and said politely to Li Mingda: "Nineteenth Lang, today—"

"It's a bit hot." Li Mingda cut off the conversation.

Yuchi Baoqi froze for a moment, then nodded, suddenly feeling more nervous than before.

"Yes, it will be hotter in the evening, and it will be harder to walk." Li Mingda blinked his eyes brightly, and asked Yuchi Baoqi, "Are you here to rush me?"

"No, no, no, Baoqi doesn't dare." Yuchi Baoqi's face flushed a little.

"Then why are you looking for me?"

The voice is as gentle as a spring in the forest, and there is a trace of playfulness that is indescribable, somehow it turned into ripples and swayed in Yuchi Baoqi's heart.

Yuchi Baoqi was stunned, staring blankly at Li Mingda.His eyes are like lacquer, delicate and exquisite.The appearance of the princess was indeed completely different from those secular beauties he had seen.

After hearing Tian Hanshan's coughing sound, Yuchi Baoqi suddenly realized that he was impolite, and hurriedly saluted and stumbled to explain to Li Mingda.

"Baoqi came here to... want to thank Nineteenth Lang. The dim sum that Nineteenth Lang gave me yesterday was tender and refreshing, and I can't get enough of it."

"It just so happens that I still have some, you take two packs to eat."

"Impossible, Baoqi is so embarrassing."

"It's okay, I'm in a good mood and I'm willing to give it to you."

The [-] guan that she just earned was enough for her to buy several hundred carts of dim sum.

Li Mingda turned his head to signal Tian Hanshan.

Tian Hanshan immediately handed the two packs of snacks to Yuchi Baoqi.

Yuchi Baoqi agreed with a smirk, and went back with two packs of snacks in fear.Seeing Fang Yizhi, the dignified expression he had just maintained immediately collapsed.

"Ten thousand guan, I gave it to you, and I won't be able to get rid of it this year."

"You should be willing to admit defeat, and you are limited to three days." Fang Yizhi said in a good mood.

"I didn't bring that much money, so give me a period of time, when I go back to Chang'an, will it work?" Yuchi Baoqi looked at Fang Yizhi with longing eyes, wanting to cry without tears.

"That's all, wait until you get there." Fang Yi said bluntly, and continued to ride forward.

Yuchi Baoqi followed Fang Yizhi in dismay, and didn't have the energy to care about the speed of the team's progress, and concentrated on feeling sorry for the money he had just lost.

When Li Mingda heard what Cheng Chubi and Wei Shuyu had said, he swung his whip to speed up, and rode to the front of Yuchi Baoqi, and when he left the city, she galloped all the way, causing everyone to follow her.Yuchi Baoqi didn't have much energy yet, so he was left behind. As a result, several times, someone from the princess came to urge him to hurry up, telling him that it would be difficult to hurry when the sun rose.

Yuchi Baoqi smiled wryly, feeling that "every evil will be rewarded with evil", he fiercely swung his whip and chased after him.

At this time, the innocence seemed to be on fire. The dirt road was scorched and dry, and it was scorched by the sun like a rammed oven. When one stepped on it, dust and white smoke were flying, and the wind that followed was like Like a heat wave, scalding people's faces.

After only an hour on the road, I was sweating profusely, as if I had just taken a bath.

When it was almost noon, I happened to meet a villager on the side of the road who had set up a straw shed to sell grapes.The group rested there, asked for water and bought a lot of grapes.

The old farmer saw that all the teenagers on the road were sweating profusely. The most important thing was that they not only looked strange, but also spoke politely, which was very attractive.The old farmer deliberately asked his two sons to go far away to get the coldest water from the well on the side of the mountain, and asked them to contribute all the grapes soaked in the cold well water that they had kept for their own consumption.

Li Mingda asked for more money, thanked the old farmer, and was afraid that it would be too tiring to torment the old farmer and his two sons, so he ordered a few guards to lead the horses to carry water.

After the first basket of cold grapes was brought over, Tian Hanshan brought it to Li Mingda.Li Mingda didn't eat a single one, but asked Tian Hanshan to share it with Cheng Chubi and other guards first.The guards were terrified, but they dared not ask for it.After running for a whole morning on this hot day, everyone felt dry mouth and too hot. The princess didn't hold her tight first, but still let them like this, they were already full of gratitude.

Tian Hanshu naturally understood that his princess was sincerely giving it away, so he repeatedly ordered the guards to accept it, so they dared to take it, and began to eat excitedly.

It is not easy for a princess to have such a modest and courteous character under the pampering.

"All civil and military ministers know how the saint loves the princess, but the princess has such a heart. It can be seen that the princess is dedicated to learning and is more willing to reflect on herself." Seeing this, Di Renjie couldn't help admiring Fang Yizhi in a low voice, "How much People who call themselves modest and gentlemen in this world are so arrogant and think highly of themselves, not half as high as a princess."

Fang Yizhi agreed, and then looked at Li Mingda over there.Di Renjie's high praise must have caught her ears.She was a little embarrassed, her face turned to the other side, her neck and cheeks were slightly flushed, and she deliberately avoided their side.

Fang Yi stared intently at the grapes in his hand, picked one and put it in his mouth.The cool sweet and sour juice flows between the lips and teeth, moisturizing the throat, making people feel refreshed all over the body.

After Yuchi Baoqi ate two yuan, wiped his mouth, and whispered to Fang Yizhi with emotion: "You and I are lucky, we followed the right person. I heard that there are some people who are not easy to serve, and they have been beaten before."

Di Renjie didn't know, so he hurriedly asked Yuchi Baoqi what was the story.

Fang Yizhi immediately knew which time Yuchi Baoqi said, "Everything is different, or there is a reason for everything, no comparison is allowed."

Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly fell silent, covered her mouth with her hands, turned her head and glanced secretly at the princess who was joking with Tian Hanshan over there, and whispered to Fang Yi: "I'll talk to you in private, what else can I do? Dare, I don’t have the guts.”

"Don't talk to me either." Fang Yi looked directly at Li Mingda, his eyes turned cold, and warned Yuchi Baoqi that the trouble came from his mouth.

Yuchi Baoqi was puzzled, "But I'm—"

"No matter who you are with, just shut up."

Yuchi Baoqi nodded half-understood, then looked at Fang Yi and opened the two packs of snacks that the princess had given her before, and ate a piece of both.

Yuchi Baoqi was overjoyed, and also forgot the previous words, smiled and said straight to Fang Yi, "You have to pay for my snacks."

After amused, he smiled and poured a bowl of water into his mouth.

"Pay back the money."

Yuchi Baoqi coughed immediately, "You...cough cough...you pretend I didn't say anything just now."

Fang Yizhi naturally ignored him, and continued to eat another two yuan, and that was all for lunch.

The rest of the people didn't eat a few mouthfuls of dry food, the weather was so hot that people couldn't eat, so everyone took two more mouthfuls of jerky, and then they all went to eat grapes.

If you just eat some water, you won't have the strength to go on your way.

Li Mingda had expected this earlier, so when he was shopping yesterday, he asked Tian Han to prepare some sour jujube cakes.

Tian Hanshan immediately understood the meaning of his princess, "Take them all, and I will share them with you."

The sour date cake is refreshing and appetizing, but not greasy. It is very popular with everyone, and they are all eaten up quickly.The sun was still rising, and the guards were all looking for the shade of a tree nearby to enjoy the shade. The guards who were quite energetic and chatting with each other before fell asleep with their eyelids closed in a blink of an eye.

Tian Han asked the old farmer to borrow a straw mat, and wanted to build a pergola for the princess as a place to rest.Li Mingda doesn't need it, "I'll just lie down on the table and sleep for a while."

After Li Mingda finished speaking, he yawned, lay down on the table and closed his eyes.

In the dream, the fragrance of Ming Ting was floating everywhere, and then Li Mingda woke up with "Give me three catties of grapes".

Li Mingda blinked, calmed down, and looked at the new guest in the shed. More than 30 years old, plain white clothes, black hair tied up, not a single messy hair.There was a familiar sweet smell on this person, and the silhouette also felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

When the man turned his head, Li Mingda saw his face and immediately recognized that this man was the owner of Wanshishun Dim Sum Shop in Taiwu County.

The boss saw that there were people sitting and taking a nap in the shed, so he walked towards Li Mingda when there was no place for him, and he was a little surprised when he recognized Li Mingda as the one who bought his dim sum earlier.

"It's fate, I didn't expect to meet here." After sitting down, the dim sum shop owner grabbed a bunch of grapes brought by the old farmer and gnawed on them without even spitting out the grape skins.Then he wiped his mouth with a white handkerchief, Fang looked at Li Mingda in a 'gentle' manner, "Where is this gentleman on his way?"

"Caizhou, what about you?" Li Mingda asked.

The boss smiled and said, "Coincidentally, I will go there too."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Mingda expectantly, as if he was waiting for Li Mingda to say "for example, walking together".

Li Mingda didn't speak, and turned to look at the others, who were all dozing off.Tian Hanshu fell asleep standing up on the wooden pile of the melon shed.On the other side, Yuchi Baoqi, Di Renjie and others were lying on the table, and the rest of the guards were either leaning against the tree or lying on the ground, but Fang Yizhi was not seen.Cheng Chubi was sober. Originally, the guards had to take turns to guard when they were resting, but now he was standing upright under the shade of a tree, watching quietly. It can be seen that he should be sympathetic to his subordinates, and he did all the work for him. .

Cheng Chubi understood the princess' temperament, he was not good at making a fuss about everything.At this moment, he felt that there was no danger, so he didn't move, but his eyes were very sharp, and he looked at the pastry shop owner with a little defense.

"By the way, I haven't told you what my name is yet. My name is Zhang Shunxin. Shunxin is as good as you want. If Mr. Xiao Lang cares, you can just call me by my name." Zhang Shunxin smiled.

Li Mingda raised his eyebrows, "In the future?"

Zhang Shun was stunned, and smiled awkwardly: "If there is a destiny."

Li Mingda raised the corner of his mouth and smiled politely at him, but didn't answer any more.Because she had long sensed that this person named Zhang Shunxin seemed to intend to go with them.Li Mingda didn't know what kind of person this person was, and he didn't know if he appeared so 'coincidentally', whether he had other intentions, or whether he didn't want to cause trouble for herself and the people accompanying her, so she didn't open her mouth to invite him warmly.

Besides, the donkey that Zhang Shunxin was riding was definitely not as fast as a horse. Li Mingda and the others went to Bianzhou to meet Changsun Huan as soon as possible, and they didn't want to be delayed on the road because of an outsider.

"I don't know what to call Mr. Xiao Lang?" Zhang Shunxin accosted again.

Li Mingda: "Everyone calls me Nineteen Lang."

Zhang Shunxin hurriedly called out, then pretended not to know, turned his head to look at the horses and guards under the shade of the trees over there, "I saw that the gentleman is a nobleman of the official family, he can ride a fast horse, and It's enviable to have so many attendants and guards."

"Your ability to make casual snacks is not ordinary." Li Mingda looked around Zhang Shunxin, then woke up Tian Hanshan, and asked him to fetch water for himself.

Before Tian Hanxi had time to open his eyes, he responded first, then opened his eyelids to gather his composure, and suddenly found a strange man sitting opposite your lord, and immediately regained his energy.

"Who are you, why are you here, and why are you sitting here!" Tian Hanshan asked a series of questions.

Zhang Shunxin hurriedly answered with a smile, and asked Tian Hanshan not to get excited.

However, what Tian Hanshan said immediately woke up the guards around him. Everyone was nervous and worried that something might happen to the princess, so they immediately stood up, instinctively grabbed the knife at their waist, and stared at Zhang Shunxin defensively.

Yuchi Baoqi also woke up, seeing this, hurried over to ask what's wrong.

"It's okay." Li Mingda gave an order to let the guards relax.Till now, Tian Hanshan recognized Zhang Shunxin's identity.

"Are you from that dim sum shop in Taiwu County?" Yuchi Baoqi asked in surprise.

Zhang Shunxin nodded with a smile, and then said: "But if we meet by chance, you don't have to be so nervous. It seems that Mr. Xiao Lang must be very different, otherwise so many people wouldn't be nervous about you."

Seeing this Zhang Shunxin, Li Mingda doubted his identity more and more, and worried about him even more.He only smiled lightly and perfunctorily, and said nothing else.

Zhang Shunxin also sensed Li Mingda's defense, smiled and lowered his head to drink water, without saying a word.

A while later, Fang Yizhi came back on horseback with a string of water bags tied to his back.Only then did Li Mingda realize that he went to fetch water.

Fang Yi came over with a water bag in his hand, and when he saw Zhang Shunxin, he was a little puzzled.

Tian Hanxiu explained his identity.

Fang Yi nodded, took the bowl in front of Li Mingda, poured out the water in the pouch, the water was not transparent, pink, when poured out, there were some red berries half the size of a fingernail Then flow out.

"I heard that there is a kind of red fruit on the mountain nearby. It tastes delicious when soaked in water to relieve the heat. I asked about the place and went to pick it. I found that it tastes really good when soaked in mountain spring water. Nineteen Lang has a try. " Fang Yi looked down at Li Mingda's forehead.

Li Mingda nodded, took a sip from the bowl, there was a faint sour taste, and after the cool mountain spring water slid into his throat, there was still an indescribable fruity aroma left, which made people feel refreshed.

"Good stuff." Li Mingda casually glanced at Fang Yizhi, and found that his gaze was immediately caught by the other party, and suddenly remembered what Yuchi Baoqi said that night, and his ears felt a little hot.She glanced away, feeling very thirsty, and drank all the water in the bowl.

"This fruit is called Shanshanghong. It tastes good when soaked in water. Now is the season, and there are a lot of them on the mountain. You can pick some. While the sun is shining, spread it on the ground to dry it. It will cool down after noon. It can be half-dried in the sun. It is very convenient to hold it in this way. When you come back, you can dry it for a noon or two. When it is completely dry, you can take it with you. When you want to drink, take some out and soak it in water Inside, the taste is almost the same as fresh." Zhang Shunxin explained.

"As expected of a cook, I understand this very well, thank you." Fang Yi said straightforwardly, and immediately sent his followers to pick some from the mountain he pointed out, and dried them on the mat on the spot, while they rested there.After a while, the weather turned cold, and everyone wanted to hurry, so they naturally walked towards the mountain to meet them.

The attendants agreed, and off they went.

Zhang Shunxin saw that Fang Yizhi's clothes were ordinary, but he had an impressive bearing and a good conversation, so he guessed that he was even more extraordinary.Zhang Shunxin met him in a hurry, and then explained: "I'm ashamed to say, I'm not a cook, making dim sum is just a hobby, so I only choose three days a month to make things, and I have a good time. Who knows It is my good fortune that many people recognize my dim sum."

"Not the cook?" Fang Yizhi's deep and cold eyes flashed doubt.

Zhang Shunxin hurriedly told Fang Yi: "My family is a local squire in Bianzhou. When I was young, I also passed the examination for a job title, but later I got tired of the intrigues in the officialdom and liked to make snacks, so I resigned and returned home. The family members disagreed with this, so they escaped in the name of traveling, and opened a small snack shop in Taiwu County. They were lazy at home, reading books and composing poems on weekdays. And 28 three days to do dim sum for sale, but not for money, just want some appreciation and a few compliments."

"Fame and wealth are added to the body, even if you are rich, you may not have less troubles you deserve. I don't know how many people envy you for a life like this. You are leisurely and content, and you can do whatever you want, and you don't have to look at other people's faces." Everyone may have never experienced it. Because of this, Li Mingda yearned for Zhang Shunxin's life, so he casually sighed.

Zhang Shunxin hurriedly saluted to express his thanks, and sighed: "Where is it, it is the rich and noble life of Xiao Langjun that makes people enviable."

Li Mingda smiled lightly, and stopped provoking the conversation.She observed again and again, and saw that this sympathetic attitude was quite different from the one she showed when she bought dim sum that day.At that time, she had only two followers with her, and she didn't ride a horse, so she walked away, naturally showing no identity.Now Zhang Shun Xin sees that she has many followers, all of whom are arrogant, so he naturally guesses that her identity must be related to the official family.If his attitude suddenly changed because he found out that she was special, it would really make people doubt his purpose even more.

Fang Yizhi also held the same attitude, ignored Zhang Shunxin and asked Li Mingda if he wanted to eat grapes.

Li Mingda knew that Fang Yizhi was deliberately changing the subject, so he agreed to take a bite.Fang Yi saw the old farmer taking a basket to go to the field to choose the freshest, so he became interested and wanted to come, and then asked Li Mingda if he was interested.

"Choose only eight skewers and see who chooses the best."

"Okay." Li Mingda put a straw hat on his head and told Tian Hanshan to take the straw basket. He got up and ran to the grape racks in the field, looking around, and came back with a basket of grapes in a short while.

Fang Yizhi also picked a basket at this time, and came out right after Li Mingda.

Seeing this, the old farmer couldn't stop laughing, "If we plant the same land, there are really sweet ones and sour ones that are unpalatable."

Everyone booed, and several people came out to taste the grapes of the two noblemen.

Li Mingda and Fang Yizhi chose dark purple grapes that looked overripe.Fang Yi directly selected eight skewers, four sweet and four sour.Li Mingda's is all sweet and tastes the best.

The outcome is obvious.

Yuchi Baoqi joined in the fun and laughed, gloating and said: "Thanks to Nineteen Lang, this is the first time I see Brother Yi lose."

Di Renjie also laughed, and sang all sixteen strings with interest, then ate a string from Li Mingda's side.

"Well, it's really different." Di Renjie turned to look at the old farmer, "I'm afraid you can't compare."

The old farmer hurriedly said yes, but sighed that Li Mingda was good at farming.As soon as this remark came out, everyone present was stunned. How dare this old farmer say that the princess is good for farming?

After hearing that Li Mingda thanked the old farmer, everyone burst into laughter.

Zhang Shunxin saw that everyone was very excited, but no one paid any attention to him.Zhang Shunxin felt a little unbearable in his heart, endured it for a while, but no one paid any attention to him.Zhang Shunxin bid farewell to Li Mingda and the others in a low voice, put on the straw hat silently, rode on the donkey, and continued on their way.

After Li Mingda wished him a safe and smooth journey, he watched him go.

"I always feel that there is something wrong with this person. I send someone to follow up and look around, and then ask him to wait in Shunhe County ahead to join us."

Cheng Chubi agreed, and this sent people away.

When the sun slanted to the west, Li Mingda and others set off to continue their journey.First meet the guards who were drying red fruits in the forest, and then the group arrived in Shunhe County.

The two guards following Zhang Shunxin immediately came to report, and reported to Li Mingda that Zhang Shunxin didn't look unusual, and he had just bought some dry food in the county, and now he was on the road again.

Li Mingda nodded, and told everyone to speed up their journey while the weather was cooler.

I don't know if it was because he was walking too fast and neglected to pay attention, or if Zhang Shunxin rested somewhere afterwards.Although they should have taken the same road, Li Mingda and the others did not meet Zhang Shunxin on their way.

Three days later, Li Mingda and his party arrived in Bianzhou.

Bianzhou is the only way to go from Huainan Road to Hedong Road. The state has a large population and is very prosperous.Changsun Huan had already rushed over from Ezhou three days ago and was waiting at the post station in Bianzhou.

He finally expected Li Mingda and others to come to him, and he was overjoyed.

Changsun Huan carefully looked at her cousin who hadn't seen her for a long time, and then said with surprise in his eyes: "It's tanned. It used to be white and clear, and the skin was as white as snow, but now it's tanned to the same color as rice skin. It can be seen that you girl Riding a horse again, I don’t know how to enjoy it in a carriage.”

"If you take a carriage, you have to wait for me for another half a month, are you happy?" Li Mingda asked.

Changsun Huan hurriedly begged for mercy, and then thanked Li Mingda, "I really want to thank Shijiu Lang for his understanding, otherwise I would really go crazy after staying here for a long time."

"Bianzhou is so prosperous, how can you be detained?"

"It's better to be alone than to be happy together. Although my eldest Sun Huan is playful, he likes to play with his friends. He just does it by himself and doesn't chat with others. What's the point?"

After several days of traveling, I need to take a break.

After staying at the post station for a day, in the evening, they discussed whether to set off tomorrow, or to play for another day.

Li Mingda let Sun Huan and Fang Yi go straight to make a decision, went upstairs by himself, and lazily rested on the couch.

Not long after, a gust of wind came in from the window, carrying a hint of sweet fragrance.

Li Mingda immediately sat up, walked to the window and looked downstairs, and sure enough, he saw Zhang Shunxin, dressed in plain white, standing hesitantly at the gate of the post station, leading a donkey.He looked blankly at the entrance of the post station for a while, then looked up at the second floor, and his gaze also swept to where Li Mingda was.

Li Mingda turned around and stood behind the wall, avoiding his gaze.

Not long after that, someone from the station found Zhang Shunxin and sent him away.

Li Mingda immediately sent someone to follow Zhang Shunxin.Since he said that his home is in Bianzhou, he must go home to live when he comes back this time.Li Mingda wanted to see what his family's mansion looked like.

The next morning, it was still dark.Li Mingda heard the sound of hurried footsteps on the road, and then heard the sound coming straight to his room.After she got up and changed her clothes, she saw Tian Hanshan come in and told: "Your lord had someone follow Zhang Shunxin yesterday?"

Li Mingda nodded.

"How did your lord know that he came to Bianzhou?"

"Everyone came to the gate of the post station yesterday, and I happened to see them." Li Mingda said, and asked if he knew where Zhang Shunxin's residence was, and which squire Zhang Shunxin was from Bianzhou.

Tian Hanshan shook his head, "The reply said that he didn't see him go to any mansion. He lived in the Fulai Inn in the west of the city. He left Bianzhou on a donkey early this morning. The guard followed him outside the city. Look He didn't go back in the direction of Fu County either. Instead, he headed north, which seemed to be in the direction of Jinzhou."

"Jinzhou? Isn't that where we're going?" Li Mingda raised his eyebrows and sighed.

"But it may not be Jinzhou, it's just that direction. Maybe he said his home is in Bianzhou, but it's not in Bianzhou city, but outside the city?"

"It's possible, but I don't think it's a big possibility. But that's all, there's no need to delve into it." After Li Mingda said that, he immediately made a decision and ordered Tian Hanshan to notify his grandson Huan.They set off immediately and rushed to Jinzhou as soon as possible.

Seven days later, Chang'an City.

After reviewing the memorial, Li Shimin saw the palace servant bringing a bowl of iced sweet bean curd, he couldn't help but think of Li Mingda.

Li Shimin scooped it up with a spoon, and said thoughtfully: "Sizi eats this the most. In summer, with such a large bowl, she can easily eat seven or eight bowls by herself."

"Your Majesty misses the princess again." Fang Qirui sighed.

"Yeah, I thought she would be back soon. But I just sent a letter saying that she plans to go to Jinyang to have a look. It's scorching hot, and I can't bear to run so far away as a little girl. , very worried." Li Shimin shuddered, and then asked Fang Qirui in a puzzled manner, "Why did I think of letting her go to such a far place at the beginning? Just to relax, let her walk around Gyeonggi-do. When I think about it, I can come back as soon as I call her, and I can see her when I say see you."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, his eyes lost their luster, and then he stroked a bright yellow silk handkerchief on the table, with lifelike dragon patterns embroidered on the four corners of the handkerchief.Although the dragon is small, you can still distinguish the dragon scales on it, which shows that the embroiderer puts his heart into it.

Fang Qirui briefly recalled how the saint asked the princess to relax.He knew the reason, and admired Fang Yizhi's eloquence, but he didn't point out anything in a few words, but after hearing the words, the sage came up with a bold idea to let the princess go out to relax.

The sage didn't know he was in it, but Fang Qirui watched it coldly, but he saw it clearly.The cause of this incident lies in Fang Yizhi.However, Fang Yizhi really didn't say anything particularly provocative, and Fang Qirui couldn't explain why at this time.Furthermore, Fang Xuanling was kind to him, so he shouldn't talk too much into such trivial matters.Bao Buqi, Princess Jinyang's good marriage, really came from her trip this time, that would be considered a great joy.

Li Shimin grabbed the handkerchief, sighed again, and turned to the handkerchief to chat with Empress Changsun, "Look at your precious daughter, and don't miss my poor father who is alone at home. Now I'm playing crazy outside and don't want to think about it." me."

Fang Qirui pursed his lips.

Li Shimin is just an ordinary father who misses his daughter at this moment. He definitely has no airs of an emperor.Even when Li Zhi replied, he always blamed him for not telling Li Mingda to return early when Li Mingda left.

Li Zhi was a little confused, but after being reminded by Fang Qirui's eyes, he understood that his father was missing his sister, so he nodded in agreement, "It's really my son's fault. My son ordered eight hundred Li Jia Urgently send a message to Jinyang, telling my sister to return to Chang'an as soon as she gets there."

"Nonsense, your sister finally went to Jinyang, so she should let her see the place where our Li family raised troops and prospered. How can a man forget his roots, you child, your words are too unreliable." Li Shimin scolded Li Zhidao again.
