The woman sitting on the bed was wearing a robe with a hundred butterflies wearing flowers, combing a dignified hairpin flower updo, a white hosta was inserted next to the bun, and the peony flowers on the top of her head were blooming brightly, graceful and luxurious, with a kind face, and a toothless smile, it was the eldest grandson who was innocent. This year, she was only 16 years old, two years younger than Ziyi and one year younger than Zixuan, but she was rare mature and steady. She didn't check the origins of the two sisters, and she couldn't even show the slightest curiosity on her face. She only carefully instructed the maid to clean the room and prepare the bedding, and kindly asked the two sisters what they liked to eat, so that the next person could prepare it.

After the meal, Wujian called in a maid: "Chunhua, you will serve the two young ladies from today on." ”

"The second young grandmother doesn't have to be polite, our sisters have always taken care of themselves, so we don't need to be a maid." Zixuan was afraid of causing trouble to others.

"Don't see the two of you, after all, when you first come to the Li Mansion, what are you not used to, and it's easy to take care of a maid. If I neglect the two girls, I can't explain to the second son. ”

Seeing that Wujian said sincerely, Ziyi and Zixuan couldn't refuse, so they had to follow Chunhua to the wing. The room has three rooms, with a hall in the middle and a bedroom on each side.

"Chunhua, thank you. Go and rest, and we, sisters, will talk. Ziyi said.

Chunhua replied "yes" and exited the house.

Ziyi pulled Zixuan into a bedroom and lay down on a bed, just like in modern times, lying together and whispering. From the hardships along the way to the comfort of the Li Mansion, from Li Jing and his wife to the tiger, and then to Li Shimin, the topic finally fell on the eldest grandson Wujian.

"She's not very pretty." Ziyi said.

Zixuan pursed her lips and smiled, two cute little dimples appeared on her lips, and she turned to look at her sister sideways, "She is dignified and elegant." As for you, sister, it is obviously not enough to say that you are a sinking fish and a goose; It is not enough to say that you are a city and a country. In this era, no one has ever seen a mixed-race beauty like you, so it should be said that it is astonishing, and it is appropriate! ”

"Dead girl, when did you become so good at sycophancy?" Ziyi gritted her teeth while tickling her itch, "Also, don't talk so classical in front of me, I have goosebumps." ”

"Got it, got it, don't scratch it, can't I be wrong?" Zixuan hid while laughing.

After a burst of laughter, Ziyi said, "Zixuan, what do you say is the matter with this eldest grandson?" Her husband brought two women home from outside, she didn't ask anything, she was so relieved Li Shimin? ”

"Sister, this is ancient times, and it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines." Zixuan replied while calming his breath, "Moreover, history records that this eldest grandson empress is extremely virtuous, she and Li Shimin respect each other like guests, and they are a model couple among the emperors and queens of all dynasties. ”

Ziyi said disdainfully: "Cut, I don't believe it, respecting each other like a guest shows that they don't love each other, how can a husband and wife be so polite?" Don't you see that couples who have nothing to do and fight have a long life? ”

"Sister, when you came to ancient times, you only cared about the feelings of other husbands and wives?" Zixuan teased her.

"You dead girl, I'm more concerned about when I can go back, if I didn't accompany you to Tang Zhaoling, would I be in this ghost place? I should be in a Western restaurant, drinking red wine and cutting steak...... "Ziyi is another scratching and pinching."

"Sister, I was wrong, I was wrong......"

Shimin came to his father's room and retreated, "Dad, this time I went to Daxing, and the child saw my brother-in-law." ”

"What did Chai Shao say?" Li Yuan took a sip of tea and put down the teacup.

"Brother-in-law said that only your father is looking forward, but you have to settle down your sister before you can come to Jinyang." Shimin replied.

Li Yuan thought thoughtfully, touched his beard, and said slowly: "Shimin, during the time you went to Daxing, the emperor issued an edict and no longer held accountable for the 'Battle of Mayi' for his father. Raising troops is a major matter, and since the situation is not so critical now, we should be a little calmer, so as not to be too hasty, make some omissions, and ruin the plan. ”

When Shimin heard this, he was anxious, hurriedly stood up, hugged his fists and said, "Dad, how can this be done?" We have been plotting with Liu Wenjing for a long time, and the heroes from all over the country have been almost in contact, and the soldiers have been recruited. Now that he is ready to fly, he has to send it, if his father hesitates, he is afraid that he will have a long night and a lot of dreams, and he will leak the news. That Wang Wei and Gao Junya are called deputy guards, but they are actually sent by the emperor to monitor their father, if they are noticed by the two of them, the big thing will be over! ”

Li Yuan got up and helped Shimin up, "Shimin, this matter is urgent. Raising troops is a major event, and if it is successful, my Li family will be the king and the emperor; If you lose, the lives of more than 100 members of my Li family...... Ay! It is necessary to plan carefully for the Father, so that this can only succeed and not fail. ”

Seeing that Li Yuan could not be persuaded, the people of the world had to give up for the time being and make plans again. The father and son gossiped a few more words about their parents, Shimin said goodbye, got up and wanted to go back to the room, only then did he remember the matter of saving the two sisters and returned to Li Yuan. Li Yuan saw that it was not a big deal, and said, "Bring her sister to see me tomorrow." ”

Early the next morning, Chunhua came to the wing: "Two young ladies, this is the clothes that my second young grandmother prepared for the two young ladies." Miss see which one she likes, Chunhua waits for the two young ladies to change clothes. ”

Ziyi and Zixuan looked at each other and smiled. They had never been dressed except when they were early children. However, looking at the aristocratic clothes sent by the eldest grandson Wujian, they are much more complicated than the clothes of the common people, and they may not be able to wear them without Chunhua.

The eldest grandson sent four pieces of spring clothes per person and four pieces of summer clothes per person, with all kinds of upper and lower skirts, different colors and patterns, which is really considerate!

Ziyi chose a peachy one, while Zixuan preferred a light green. After Chunhua helped the two of them to make up, they served breakfast again, all kinds of snacks and various side dishes, which were very different from the things they ate along the way. It seems that the hardships of more than a month have not been in vain, and it is definitely a good idea to find Li Yuan first.

After breakfast, Chunhua was cleaning up, and Li Shimin walked in, "Are the two girls still used to it in the Li Mansion?" ”

The two sisters hurriedly got up to greet them, and Zixuan said, "Very good, thank you for the second son." ”

Shimin saw that the two of them had changed their clothes, Ziyi was gorgeous and dazzling, Zixuan was curling, pink and willow green, just like the spring at this time, it was very good-looking, "Shimin took the two girls to meet at the order of his father." ”

Ziyi and Zixuan followed Shimin to see Li Yuan, and along the way, Shimin frowned tightly and didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something. The two sisters didn't dare to say much when they saw this scene, so they followed all the way to the main courtyard.

After entering the door, he bowed to see Li Yuan, and only got up when he heard the word "free courtesy". I saw a person sitting on the head, fifty miles away, tall, burly, long beard and beautiful hair, the years carved traces of different shades on his wise face, but the pair of phoenix eyes did not get old, the brilliance flowed like an ancient well and a secluded pool, unfathomable, as if it could see into the bottom of people's hearts.

This is Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, who is really "an old man with a thousand miles of ambition", who can raise troops against Sui at the age of 51 and establish a first-class monarch of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and his spirit is really extraordinary, Zixuan thought.

Then Zixuan repeated the "life experience" made up in front of Li Shimin to Li Yuan. Li Yuan's state after hearing this was the same as Li Shimin's - expressionless. They are really father and son, with the same deep scheming, which makes Zixuan more and more empty and stuttering more and more.

When it was over, Li Yuan gave them an amiable smile, and the rough and shallow lines on his lips were pulled, "The two girls will stay in the house first, and when the time comes, the old man will help the girl inquire about the caravan." ”

After thanking them, Shimin took them to meet Li Yuan's side room, Wan's family. This Wan family has been responsible for managing the affairs of the Li family since the death of Shimin's biological mother Dou Shi, but Li Yuan has never given her the title of housewife. And this Wan is also calm and unfazed. She also has a son herself, Li Yuan's fifth son Li Zhiyun, who is in Hedong's hometown with Li Yuan's eldest son Jiancheng and fourth son Yuanji at this time.

After returning to the wing, Shimin asked, "Two girls, can the arrangements be made properly?" If there's anything missing, just tell me. ”

"The second young grandmother arranged it very thoughtfully, and the second son didn't bother." Ziyi was very unkind to the people of the world, and still remembered his actions last night.

Shimin ignored her provocative attitude, looked around at the furnishings in the room, and his eyes fell on Chunhua's body, "Wuji only arranged for you to serve here alone?" ”

"Yes." Chunhua replied.

"How can you take care of the two young ladies alone, go and call Qiu Shi, just say what I said, let her come here on an errand."

"Yes, the slave is going to call Qiushi." Chunhua said and turned to go out.

"Thank you, Second Son." Zixuan was sincerely grateful to see him so careful for her sister's sake.

"Miss Zixuan doesn't have to be polite, the girl is knowledgeable, and the people of the world naturally have to be polite. As for those who are rude and willful, don't pay attention to her......" As he spoke, he glanced at Ziyi, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his lips.

"Who do you say is rude and willful......" Ziyi was angry, this man is really small-bellied, and he refused to let her say a word.

"Then the people of the world will not delay the girl's rest." He interrupted her, saluted Zixuan politely, and turned away, completely ignoring Ziyi's cunning.

Looking at his distant back, Ziyi said angrily: "What kind of person is this! Rude, brutal, and rude! ”

"Sister, why are you so angry? You and he have just met, how can it be like you have an eight-lifetime feud? Zixuan was puzzled.

"Some people don't have to know each other for too long to know what it's like. You didn't see him carry me on the horse last night, and he rode so fast that my ass was turned upside down. Ziyi was still glaring angrily at the door, but he was no longer there.

"That's it? My sister doesn't have to be so careful, he has excellent martial arts, bold and chivalrous, not as gentlemanly and gentle as modern boys, which is also reasonable. Zixuan persuaded her sister.

"Don't say nice things for him, I know he's your idol, and in your eyes, he's good at everything. Alright, alright, stop talking about this rotten person. Let's go see what's interesting in this mansion......" Ziyi couldn't tell Zixuan that he teased her on the horse yesterday, because it was too embarrassing for Ziyi, so she had to change the subject.
