Xiao Wanyu had already fallen asleep, and in her sleep she saw herself standing in the woods behind the Ganye Temple, where she had been alone with Li You for the first time.

She saw Li You standing in front of her, the bright sunlight shining through the dense canopy, casting dappled light and shadow on him. He smiled, just staring at himself.

Xiao Wanyu stretched out her hand and wanted to touch Li You's face, but found that the light and shadow in front of her suddenly became chaotic and spread out, and Li You's figure suddenly disappeared.

Xiao Wanyu broke out in a cold sweat, and she shouted loudly: "Brother You, Brother You, where are you?" ”

At this time, Li You's deep manly voice came: "Yu'er, I'm here." The voice was so intimate that it seemed to be right in her ears.

Xiao Wanyu's hazy consciousness had begun to wake up, and she remembered that her beloved man was far away in Persia at the moment, and she couldn't help but feel extremely disappointed.

She didn't dare to open her eyes, hoping that the fragments of the dream would stay in her mind for a little longer.

"Yu'er." At this moment, the kind voice sounded again. Xiao Wanyu listened to it really, it was really Li You's voice.

But she still didn't dare to open her eyes, afraid that Li You's light and shadow would dissipate again like a dream.

At this time, a warm big hand held her jade hand and said gently, "It's me, I'm back!" ”

Xiao Wanyu opened her eyes and saw a handsome face with mature masculinity, a pair of bright eyes, looking at herself gently.

Xiao Wanyu looked at Li You in front of her in surprise, still a little incredulous for a while. In the past two years, she dreamed of Li You countless times, but when she woke up, she was accompanied by strong disappointment and sad tears.

Xiao Wanyu grabbed Li You's big hand and bit it fiercely.

Li You smiled and took her into his arms.

Xiao Wanyu hugged Li You tightly and shouted, "Brother You, is it really you?" ”

Li You whispered in her ear: "Yu'er, it's me, I'm back." ”

With a "wow", Xiao Wanyu cried bitterly......

The next morning, the Liangyi Palace, the study.

"Son-in-law, see father." Li You saluted and said.

Li Shimin looked at the handsome and mature young man with a mustache in front of him, and said kindly: "You'er, no courtesy, come over and come to me." ”

Li You sat beside Li Shimin and asked sincerely, "Father, are you okay?" ”

Li Shimin smiled: "Okay, very good, I just miss you a little." And your mother, your mother, and your concubine, are all thinking about you. ”

Li Shimin really missed Li You, but when he said it himself, he felt a little numb, so he hurriedly said that Empress Changsun and Concubine Yin missed Li You.

However, it was Li Shimin's slight embarrassment that made Li You truly feel Li Shimin's fatherly love and care for him.

Li You was very moved, and he said frankly: "Father, son, son and son are in Persia, and they often miss their father and mother and concubine. ”

"Okay, good boy, your father knows." Li Shimin is really happy.

Li You arranged for Liu Renliang and others to rescue Li Shimin at a critical moment, and Li Shimin knew that Li You still cared about himself all the time even if he was thousands of miles away.

The two chatted for a while, and Li You was about to report to him about the situation on the Persian side.

Li Shimin still wanted to chat with him for a while, so he asked Wang De to inform Li Chengqian and other important ministers to listen to Li You's report, and he wanted to use this time to continue chatting with Li You.

He asked, "I heard that you are going to marry the princess of the Great Food?" ”

Li You smiled and said: "Yes, father, please ask the imperial court to send an envoy to welcome relatives and officially go to Damascus to welcome relatives." ”

"Okay, okay, announce it in the court tomorrow, and then let your uncle from the Ministry of Rites do it, if not, let him go in person." Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin is very interested in the living habits of the big cannibal, and he is a little worried that the living habits of Li You and this big food princess are too different and they will not adapt to each other.

Li You told him about Rena's dual identity as a Greek princess and a Syrian princess, said about the caliph of the Great Food Empire canonizing her as the Great Food Princess, and explained the importance of his marriage to Princess Rena to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Politically, you see the problem very accurately, and I don't worry about this." It's just that I don't know what this big food princess looks like? ”

He was a little worried about his daughter-in-law's appearance, Princess Rena was a Hu person in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty people after all, and there were still some differences between her aesthetics and the Tang Dynasty people.

Li You smiled and said, "Father, who is the son?" It's your son, who can't be worse off in terms of vision. Rena is definitely a first-class beauty, and she will not embarrass your father. ”

"Haha, your kid's vision is good, and the daughters-in-law he found are all outstanding, and they are all very capable. I'm relieved. Li Shimin said with a smile.

The father and son laughed affectionately until the ministers arrived. Li Shimin felt that there were still some things that he hadn't said enough, so he said: "At noon, let's go to your mother's place for lunch together." ”

When Li Chengqian and the others saw Li You, they greeted him cordially and invited him to their house as a guest.

It is taboo for ministers to befriend the prince in private, but inviting Li You in front of Li Shimin is very frank and there is nothing to avoid.

Soon, the ministers arrived, including Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, Hou Junji, Li Jing, Cen Wenwen, Gao Jingming and Wei Zheng, and one was Chu Suiliang, a newly promoted servant of Zhongshu Province by Li Shimin.

Li You began a briefing on the situation in Central Asia.

He first talked about the conversation with the big cannibal. For Li You's superb negotiation art, everyone was impressed.

Li Chengqian said sincerely: "Fifth brother, the situation in Persia is so complicated, but you are at ease, it's really amazing. ”

Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Qi dared to go deep into the tiger's den and sing the empty city plan with the big cannibals, what happened to Zhuge Liang back then was just a legend, but what His Royal Highness the King of Qi did was really breathtaking." ”

When Li Shimin heard about Xue Rengui's performance outside Kabul, he couldn't help but sigh: "Li You has a very good eye for people, Xue Rengui is a talent, and the Liu Renliang and Wang Xuance you recommended are all great talents who are in charge of their own affairs." ”

After speaking, he did not shy away from saying: "Do you know, this time in Liaodong, at the critical moment, it was arranged by that Liu Renliang, which made the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo come to a successful end." When he praised Liu Renliang, he was praising Li You.

Everyone heard that Li Shimin was in distress on the bank of the Liao River and was rescued, the details were not clear, it turned out to be arranged by Li You's subordinates, and they couldn't help but be even more impressed by Li You's ability to see people.

Regarding Ma Zhou's matter, the eldest grandson Wuji was a little embarrassed, he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, what the minister admires most is His Royal Highness King Qi's ability to look at women, and he has inherited your majesty's advantages."

You see, His Royal Highness King Qi's wives are all selected by him, all of them are outstanding in talent and appearance, and they are all pillars of the country.

There are four wives, one is the minister of commerce of the imperial court, one is the president of the research institute, and the two are county lords, and they are all generals with troops. The princess of the Great Food who is about to marry is even more powerful, and the Great Food Empire is a very powerful country, which is amazing. ”

Eldest Sun Wuji's words sounded like he was praising Li You, but it made the ministers feel that there was something wrong, and they couldn't help but be shocked for a while.
