Princess Cangshui, Li Anshi and his wife were in front of Tuoba Shen, and later followed by Li Anshi's ex-wife Boling Cui's eldest son Li Xuan, and the two younger sons born to Princess Cangshui, eight-year-old Li Mi and six-year-old Li Yu also followed by the eldest brother. Then there are the children of the Li family who stayed in Pingjian in each room.

Princess Cangshui and Li Anshi also belong to the old husband and young wife type, Princess Cangshui is about twenty years younger than you Anshi, and she is twenty-eight years old this year. She has been married to the Li family for ten years, and since she left Beijing, she has not gone to Xiangzhou with her husband, but mostly stayed in Pingjian to take care of her two sons. In the past few years, in addition to returning to his mother's house in Beijing, he has presided over the family in Pingjian. The last time Tuoba Shen saw her was at the funeral of the Queen Mother.

"How long has it been since His Highness left Beijing?" Princess Cangshui looked at the slave who was busy in the hall, turned her head and asked.

"About a month."

Princess Cangshui paused and said, "Your Highness went out of Beijing in early April, if today is the middle of May, the heat is gradually rising, how can you bear the car every day?" It's better to stay at Li's house for a few days. It's rare for you to be able to leave Beijing once, and you don't need to be confined to these few days. ”

"Two or three days of leisure can still be obtained, my aunt has lived here for a long time, and she can't return to Beijing when she is idle. The two younger brothers and nephews are not very close, and they want to stay for a few more days. ”

Princess Cangshui chuckled when she heard this, and said: "That's good, although Your Highness doesn't dare to slack off when passing through the county, where is it more comfortable than your aunt here?" Your Highness, stay a few more days, the young children of the Li family have heard that Your Highness is coming these days, and they are all vying to see you. Tomorrow there is a festival in the Sanguang Temple in the south of the city, and your two brothers are clamoring to go to the meeting, if Your Highness is interested, you can go to play together tomorrow. ”

"The little nephew has lived in the palace for a long time, and he knows little about the people's feelings, and he often regrets it. Aunt and love, how dare the little nephew not accept it! ”

Princess Cangshui was even happier when she heard Tuoba Shen's words, turned around and pulled her two sons to her side, and nodded to Li Anshi.

Li Anshi also smiled. He was not dissatisfied with this noble-born young wife. Since Princess Cangshui came to the Li family, Li Anshi, the housekeeper of the family, was entrusted to her, and the family ushered in the send-off, internal and external operations, and Princess Cangshui has never made a mistake.

Princess Cangshui invited the second prince to go to Sanguang Temple with the children of the clan tomorrow, but she just wanted the children to get closer to the second prince and grow up in the future, maybe they could have more benefits. In the eyes of an official like him, who has served in Heicheng for a long time, this can only be regarded as better than nothing, and has little practical significance. His two young sons are at least ten years away from entering the office, and no one can say what will happen after ten years. But if the princess wants to do it, he doesn't object to it, and it's a good thing to be left and right.

。。。。。。。

Besides, Mrs. Li returned to the back house to look for her mother, and when she just walked to the first courtyard gate, she remembered that when she was kidnapped by Feng Chongyi, the second son of Feng Shang, today, several of her maids and slaves were coerced by the Feng family's slaves with sharp blades, and there was no matter of returning to the house so far, and she couldn't help but be secretly anxious. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, I thought that I would go back and ask my father to arrange for someone to look for him, and that my father was now entertaining guests, and I was afraid that he would not have time to be distracted by these things, so he hurried towards the inner house at a faster pace, so that he could ask his mother to send someone out.

Walking all the way to the low wall of my mother's apartment, I faintly heard a rush of footsteps and conversations in the corridor by the wall, and it sounded like there were quite a few people.

Mrs. Li entered the outer wall, looked over, and saw her mother Lu Shi walking towards here, followed by five or six slaves and maids, among whom there were her own maidservants Xi Lian, Xi Zhu and others.

Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that they had already returned. Remembering that they were abducted from the south of the city to the west of the city, they should have entered the city from the south of the city.

Looking at the anxious expression of the mother, I think it must be because I know my own business.

Li Yuezu's wife was born in the Lu family of Fanyang, and she was the secretary of the dynasty, Ling Lu Yuan. It has been twenty-one years since she married into the Li family, and she has given birth to a son and a daughter, the eldest son Li Jin is eighteen years old this year, and the eldest daughter is Li Guifei, who is more than fifteen years old. When she embroidered orchids for her daughter's long dress at home this afternoon, she saw her maid and her daughter's maid Xi Lian and others crying and trotting in, Lu quickly put down the embroidery in his hand, and learned from the maid that his daughter was kidnapped by Feng Taishou's son, and almost fainted, thinking about looking for Li Yuezu to take someone out to rescue his daughter, and remembering that Li Yuezu went outside the city today, and was ready to find Li Anshi in a hurry.

"Mother!" Li Niangzi looked at her anxious mother, stood under the porch, and said softly with her right hand tugging at the edge of her skirt

The mother looked at her daughter under the porch blankly, and immediately rushed forward to hug her daughter, her eyes teary. She only has this son and a daughter, and she only learned that something happened to her daughter, and she was so anxious, and now that she saw her daughter appear in front of her intact, she could no longer hide the anxiety in her heart.

The mother and daughter hugged each other, and Mrs. Li's eyes were red and comforted her mother for a while. After Lu Shi and the others calmed down a little, they took their daughter's hands, looked down and saw that their daughter's dress was a little dirty, her face suddenly turned pale with fright, and hurriedly said, "Jiu Niang'er, you ...... You are ......" Speaking of this, he hugged his daughter and cried: "Mother can't spare that thief, don't be afraid, Mother will go to your father." As he spoke, he was going to find Li Yuezu alone, and asked Li Yuezu to take his servants to Feng's house.

Mrs. Li watched her mother's movements, listened to her mother's words again, and knew that her mother had misunderstood, so she hurriedly pulled her mother's hand tightly, her face was a little ashamed, and she shook her head and said, "Mother, mother, my daughter is fine, Mother don't be in a hurry." ”

Lu Shi saw that there was no different color on his daughter's face, and he was a little relieved, and looked at his daughter's dress carefully. It turned out that the daughter's outer clothes were just a little dirty, but the inner clothes were still neat and clean. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, stroked his chest and said, "It's scared to death!" ”

Lu wanted to ask what was going on. Seeing that this is not the place to talk, and the daughter is frightened again, I think I should say hello later.

"Xi Lian, you wait for the lady to bathe first!" Holding his beloved daughter's hands, he chuckled: "Look at your dusty body, where is there still the appearance of a daughter in the boudoir." Go and clean it up, Grandma still has something to ask you. ”

"Yes! The daughter went first," Mrs. Li finished saluting her mother, and then turned around and walked to her room with the cheerful maid Xi Lian and the others.

Lu stood in the corridor, smiled and watched his daughter's back disappear into the corridor, and after returning to the room, he continued to embroider the colors on his daughter's dress.

After Mrs. Li returned to the room, after comforting the maid Xi Lian and others, who were afraid because of the ineffective protector, she stood by the window, looked at the bamboo forest by the courtyard wall not far away, listened to the sound of gurgling water from the forest, and twisted the long hair hanging down on her chest and abdomen with her right finger, and suddenly fell into deep thought. She knew that her mother was going to ask her about today's events, and she carefully recalled the stories before and after this little half of the day.

Mrs. Li bathed and changed clothes and returned to her mother Lu's room, which was already half an hour later. At this time, the sky had darkened, Lu put the embroiderer aside, stepped forward to look at his daughter, who still had a watery hair and a ruddy face, and pulled his daughter to sit in front of the mirror and groom her daughter.

Looking at her daughter's delicate face reflected in the bronze mirror under the candlelight, Lu Shi asked while combing her daughter's long hair, "Jiu Niang'er and Grandma will tell you how to get out, right?" I won't ask about the previous things, Xi Lian, Xi Zhu has already said it. Let's just talk about how you got back. ”

Mrs. Li looked at her mother in the bronze mirror, thought for a while, and said, "My daughter met His Royal Highness the Second Prince by chance in the west of the city. She is the daughter of His Highness's protectors. ”

"Second prince?" The movement in Lu's hand paused for a moment, and then continued. Thinking of the arrival of the second prince in the past few days, there has been a lot of hustle and bustle inside and outside Juncheng. The Li family also rested inside and out to clean up to meet the matter. I didn't expect my daughter to be blessed and saved from a catastrophe.

"Thank God, I am glad that Jiu Niang'er was blessed with a deep fortune and was spared this disaster. When my mother first heard Xi Lian's words, she made a wish in her heart, if Jiu Niang'er returned safely, she must go to worship the world-honored Buddha for three years. Tomorrow in the Sanguang Temple Festival, my mother can go to repay her vows. ”

Mrs. Li listened to her mother's words, covered her lips and chuckled: "It's the daughter of His Royal Highness's escort, my mother wants to worship, and I should also go to worship His Highness!" ”

Lu Shi listened to his daughter's laughter, gently patted the back of his daughter's neck, and also laughed: "Since it is Jiu Niang'er who His Royal Highness saved, if you want to thank Jiu Niang'er, you need Jiu Niang'er to go by herself!" ”

Mrs. Li listened to her mother's words, she was slightly embarrassed, and was about to be coquettish, when she suddenly saw someone push open the door and walk in. The mother and daughter looked over together, and it turned out to be her husband (father) Li Yuezu.

Li Yuezu looked at his wife and daughter snuggled in front of the mirror platform, and said with a smile: "There is something to inform the good wife, at today's dinner, His Royal Highness the Second Prince will thank the master for inviting wine with a family ceremony. You don't usually drink alcohol, but today you can make an exception. ”

The mother and daughter were still saying "thank you", but they didn't expect to come so soon, and they looked at each other unconsciously, and Mrs. Li looked at her mother's playful smile, and her face turned red.
