Chapter 127: Return to Chang'an

"That's it! There is no such thing as a feast that will not be dispersed, and it is not too early! You still have to hurry, so let's get on your way! Li Er said.

"Father, take care!" Li Chengqian and Li Zhi saluted Li Er.

The two of them each boarded their own carriages, and the convoy began to leave Luoyang and slowly move towards Chang'an.

The two Li Zhi brothers leaned out of the carriage window and waved at Li Er, and they stopped until they could no longer see Li Er's figure.

On the first day after leaving Luoyang, Li Zhi wrote a letter to Li Er in Luoyang, in which he mentioned his life, the scenery along the way, etc., and where he went.

Li Zhi did not forget to praise Li Chengqian in the letter, so as not to make Li Er sad.

To sum it up, Dad, my son misses you! It's a day of thinking about dad.

Since it was only a day after leaving Luoyang, Li Zhi soon received a handwritten reply from Li Er.

In the letter, Li Zhi was repeatedly told to do things well, pay attention to rest, etc., and naturally his brother wanted to be a slave at the end! Such words.

A few days later, Li Chengqian and his entourage finally returned to Chang'an.

Above the sky, a bright moon is in the sky, surrounded by stars, like a guard arching the bright moon.

There is a city gate in Chang'an, which is under curfew, and the lights are bright at this time, but the gate that should be closed is open, and some ministers of the court and the central government are looking forward to it at the city gate.

Here they waited for the crown prince Li Chengqian and the king of Jin Li Zhi, who had returned from Luoyang.

"Why haven't you come yet? What time has it been? Yang Shidao stretched his neck to look outside, except for the endless plain, there was no human figure in sight.

The long wait was a torment, and he had been waiting for an hour in the autumn night.

"Did you say that the people at the post station delivered the wrong news, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not return to Chang'an tonight." Yang Shidao rubbed his hands and asked.

"Impossible! The crown prince will definitely return to Chang'an tonight, we will wait! Chu Sui said.

Datang Post Station has strict rules for transmitting news, and if you pass fake news at will, you will be severely punished.

Unless the people at the post station are tired of being crooked! Otherwise, no one would risk being severely punished for spreading false news.

"Look, what's that?" Someone suddenly shouted, and everyone hurried to look outside the city gate.

Then they saw a fire dancing in the distance, moving towards the city gate, and then they saw the banner waving, and then the prince's guard of honor appeared in front of them.

"Everybody stand up! Get ready to welcome the Prince! Zhongshu ordered Yang Shidao to shout at the ministers.

This time to welcome the prince back to Chang'an, it was Yang Shidao who handled it single-handedly, and all the officials who came were subordinate officials of the East Palace, and even Yu Zhining, Li Jingxuan and others were in the team.

The prince's guard of honor passed through the city gate first, and then the prince's chariot slowly drove across the drawbridge and stopped at the city gate.

Li Chengqian stepped out of the car! Yang Shidao and Fang Xuanling led hundreds of officials to salute Li Chengqian.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Excuse me!" Li Chengqian stretched out his hand and said.

"His Royal Highness has been tired all the way, and the minister has ordered someone to prepare a banquet for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Jin!" Yang Shidao said.

"Uncle Lao is bothered! My two brothers are already exhausted from all the way, and if there is nothing important, please come back tomorrow, and the widow will have a banquet to entertain you. Li Chengqian said.

"This ......" Master Yang was stunned, Li Chengqian said this, implying that he did not intend to accept the banquet he prepared.

Looking at him all the way, he is indeed a little tired, and it is getting late now, so it is really difficult to disturb the prince.

Anyway, if there is any major national matter, it is not too late to report to Li Chengqian tomorrow, there is Fang Xuanling in the court, there will be no chaos, and after the prince is rested, it will not be too late to hand over tomorrow.

"That minister sends the prince back to the palace!" Yang Shidao and Fang Xuanling led the hundred officials to salute.

Li Chengqian turned around and returned to the car, and refused the hundred officials to send him back to the palace, after all, now that there is a curfew in the city, such a large group of people to send him back is too loud and easy to disturb the people.

Li Chengqian also asked the honor guard not to make too much movement!

Yang Shidao and Fang Xuanling, as well as Baiguan, watched Li Chengqian's convoy leave the city gate and return to the East Palace.

"Everyone's gone! It's not too early! Let's all go back and rest! Fang Xuanling spoke.

Then everyone took their leave, returned to their homes to rest, and waited for the summons of the prince tomorrow.

After returning to the East Palace, the first thing Li Chengqian wanted to do was to arrange a place for Li Zhi to live.

Li Zhi has been living in the palace with Li Er, and there is no other Jin palace outside the palace, so it is impossible for him to live outside the palace.

Besides, there is no place outside the palace for him to stay, and he can't let a prince go to a hotel, which is really not like words.

On the Ouchi side, now that Li Er is not in Chang'an, let Li Zhi return to live in Ouchi, and Li Chengqian feels that it is not appropriate.

After all, the current Li Zhi is sixteen years old, and he was almost an adult in ancient times!

It is really unorthodox to let an adult prince live in Ouchi.

Of course, these are not the most important, the most important thing is that it is not very convenient to look at Li Zhi, Ouchi is not as good as the East Palace.

If Li Zhi is really allowed to live alone in Ouchi, no one dares to guarantee that something will happen? For example, fornication harems and the like.

No one cares about him, and it's easy to let go of himself.

In the end, Li Chengqian still planned to arrange Li Zhi in the East Palace and put him by his side, so that he could feel at ease.

In any case, the East Palace is his Li Chengqian's territory, and everything is in his own hands, which is not comparable to Ouchi.

"Childish slave, you are now the right concubine of my East Palace, your father is not in Chang'an, and it is inconvenient for you to live in Da Nei with your current status."

"You don't have a mansion outside the palace, so why don't you choose a place to live in my East Palace, I don't know what you think?" Li Chengqian asked.

In fact, he can directly make the decision on this matter, and there is no need to ask Li Zhi's opinion at all!

"It's all up to the eldest brother! It's just that the little sister is still young, and I'm not worried that she is alone in the big house. Li Zhi said.

The little sister in Li Zhi's mouth is none other than their sister Li Yuan, the princess of Xincheng.

In fact, Li Zhi doesn't have to worry, Princess Xincheng has her own nursing mother to take care of her diet and daily life.

"It's easy to do! I asked her to take her to the East Palace and live with the crown princess, so that she could take care of her. ”

"Childish, you will live in the widow's East Palace, and you will live in the Lizheng Palace, you see if it is appropriate." Li Chengqian said.

Lizheng Hall is the place where Empress Wen gave birth to Li Zhi, which is also a revisit to the old place.

"Big brother's arrangement is naturally proper! Retire!" Li Zhi bowed and retreated, and moved to the Lizheng Hall.

Li Chengqian ordered the ten-year-old princess of Xincheng to be taken from Ouchi to the East Palace overnight and handed over to the crown princess to take care of.
