"Husband, it's me!" As Li Xiu asked, a familiar voice also replied from outside, which made him also hurriedly stand up and walk to the door, and when he opened the door, he immediately saw a graceful figure standing outside. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Xiuning, why are you here?" Li Xiu also smiled in surprise when he saw Princess Pingyang outside, and then invited her to the study.

I saw Princess Pingyang step into the study, and at a glance she saw the album that Li Xiu had just taken out on the desk, which made her stunned at first, and then she stepped forward to pick up the album, opened it and took a look, and immediately raised her head very excitedly and asked Li Xiu: "Husband, is this the album that Chengdao gave you?" ”

In addition to Li Xiu and Qi Niang in the family, Princess Pingyang is the only one who knows that Li Chengdao is back, and naturally she also knows that Li Chengdao gave Li Xiu this album, although she has never seen it, but she has heard Li Xiu's description, so she naturally recognized it at a glance at this time.

"Yes, this is the album that Chengdao gave me, and it shows some things about the Americas that he drew by himself!" Li Xiu also sighed at this time and said, in fact, he didn't want Princess Pingyang to see this album, mainly because he was afraid that she would be sad.

Princess Pingyang also trembled when she heard Li Xiu's words, and looked at the album in her hand and became more and more excited, Li Xiu also sighed again when she saw this, and helped Princess Pingyang to sit down at the moment, and then picked up the album and explained the content of the painting to her one by one, although Li Chengdao only told him once before, he remembered most of the content.

Princess Pingyang also listened very seriously, especially when several brothers of Li Yuanji and Li Chengdao appeared on a few pictures, which made her wipe her tears with excitement, and finally fell into Li Xiu's arms and cried bitterly, which made Li Xiu only keep comforting, which was why he didn't want Princess Pingyang to read the album before.

It wasn't until the third watch that they finished reading a thick picture album, Princess Pingyang also stopped crying at this time, Li Xiu helped her wipe away her tears, and didn't want her to think about the Americas anymore, so she deliberately changed the topic and said: "Xiuning, why are you here, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Princess Pingyang remembered the reason why she came to Li Xiu, and hurriedly sat up straight and said: "Husband, I almost forgot if I didn't say it, just now at dinner, I saw that you were a little distracted, did you encounter something today?" ”

"This ...... It's nothing, when I went to the palace today, the Emperor Taishang suddenly summoned me to see him, so I went to Da'an Palace to chat with him for a while. Li Xiu hesitated for a moment and finally said the truth, the fact that Li Yuan begged for his help was too important, and he didn't know whether to hide it from Princess Pingyang?

"Father? Is there something he's looking for you? Princess Pingyang was stunned for a moment when she heard Li Xiu's words, and then said very vigilantly, after all, she knew better than anyone that the relationship between Li Yuan and Li Xiu was very ordinary, if there was nothing special, I am afraid that Li Yuan would never take the initiative to find Li Xiu.

"This ...... Alas~" Li Xiu hesitated again when he heard this, and finally sighed and said helplessly, "The Emperor Taishang did have a very difficult thing to discuss with me when he came to me. ”

"What's the matter?" Seeing Li Xiu's stumbling appearance, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but be more worried, and at the same time, she also had a bad premonition in her heart, after all, even Li Xiu admitted that what made him very embarrassed was definitely not a trivial matter.

"The Emperor Taishang is getting older, and his thoughts about his children and grandchildren are increasing day by day, so he wants to see King Qi and Chengdao them again." Li Xiu finally told Li Yuan's request.

"What?" Princess Pingyang also screamed when she heard Li Xiu's words, and at the same time stood up with a "poof", after all, this matter is really shocking, and the involvement is too big, one bad one may lead to a monstrous disaster.

"I didn't want to agree, but I couldn't stand the emperor's hard work, so in the end I could only say try as much as I could." Li Xiu was not surprised by Princess Pingyang's shocked expression, and explained helplessly again at the moment that since he had already said it, he no longer had anything to hide, and Princess Pingyang also had the right to know about it.

"Husband, why are you so confused, my father is old, and he may not be able to consider the consequences of this matter, but you should know better than anyone else that if anything goes wrong in this matter, not only may you hurt them, but even your father may be implicated, not to mention us." After listening to Li Xiu's words, Princess Pingyang turned pale and objected.

It's not that Princess Pingyang is ruthless, in fact, the father-daughter relationship between her and Li Yuan is extremely deep, but the more she encounters major events, the calmer her temperament will become, for example, Li Yuan wants to see Li Yuanji and them, she immediately thought clearly about the huge risks implied, so she will strongly oppose it, after all, compared to disappointing Li Yuan, she doesn't want her family to encounter any more dangers.

"Xiuning, don't be angry, I know that this matter is very risky, so I didn't explicitly promise the emperor, let alone help him do it, but I just said that I would try my best to help him find a way, if it really doesn't work, then I can only disappoint the emperor." Li Xiu also hurriedly persuaded at this time, he knew that Princess Pingyang would be angry, which was one of the reasons why he regretted it before.

"That's not good, I know my father's character better than anyone else, if you don't agree to him, if you agree to him, I'm afraid he will always keep this matter in mind, if you don't help him finish it, I'm afraid it will become a piece of his heart disease in the future, now his body is so bad, if there is another heart disease, I really don't know...... I don't know......"

When Princess Pingyang said the end, tears couldn't help but welled up again, as a daughter, she could feel her father's aging better than anyone else, and even when she saw Li Yuan for the first time after coming back before, she almost didn't recognize that the old man in front of her was her father, and she also inquired about it in private, knowing that with Li Yuan's current physical condition, I am afraid that it will not last a few years, which makes her cry secretly.

"Xiuning, I ......" Seeing the tearful Princess Pingyang, Li Xiu didn't know what to say for a while, and at the same time regretted it even more in his heart, if he could have been tougher and could refuse Li Yuan before, there would be no current situation.

After a long while, Princess Pingyang finally calmed down from her excitement, and then looked at Li Xiu, who was at a loss, and couldn't help but smile bitterly at the moment, and then reached out and took Li Xiu's hand and said: "Husband, forgive me, I was too excited just now as a concubine!" ”

"I don't blame you for being angry, it's true that I didn't think about it well, and it led to this situation." Li Xiu also smiled bitterly and said, he really didn't blame Princess Pingyang, because now he only has regrets.

"I also know that my husband is well-intentioned, after all, under the begging of my father, you must be embarrassed to refuse, in fact, think about it carefully, if you really refuse, I'm afraid my father will be even more sad, maybe it will have a greater impact on the body!" Princess Pingyang spoke again at this time, although it was comforting, but it was also practical, Li Xiu's situation at that time was indeed impossible to refuse.

"Alas, although I agreed to the matter, but I have been thinking and meditating hard since I came back, but I can't think of any good way at all, Your Majesty can't go to the Americas, and it is impossible for them to go back to Chang'an, this is simply an unsolvable situation, so in the end, I'm afraid I can only disappoint the Emperor!" Li Xiu said helplessly with his hands spread at this time.

"That's true, but don't worry too much, Father He should know how difficult this matter is, and it will definitely not be solved in a while, so Husband doesn't have to worry, if it really doesn't work, don't force it, in addition, I can also organize more brothers and sisters to accompany him to my father, which should ease his thoughts about the fourth brother and Chengdao." Princess Pingyang pondered for a moment at this time, and spoke again.

Li Xiu also nodded after hearing this, Li Yuan gave him a very lenient time, as long as he could see Li Yuanji and them again before he died, according to the original history, Li Yuan seemed to have two years to live, so he didn't have to worry too much, of course, if he didn't come up with a way for two years, then he could only be sorry for Li Yuan.

In the next few days, Li Xiu also tried his best to help Li Yuan find a way, but there was still no good way to think about it, this day was high and cool, he stayed at home and felt depressed, so he brought a fishing rod to the river, no longer thinking about anything, planning to completely relax and concentrate on fishing.

However, just as Li Xiu put down the fishing rod, he suddenly saw something strange in the field on the other side of the river, which made him stunned at first, and then he threw down the fishing rod and stepped on the small bridge to cross the river.

"I didn't expect that the imperial court has already introduced cotton, and Yang Dui's operation is quite fast!" Looking at the small cotton field in front of him, Li Xiu couldn't help but say to himself in surprise, this is the experimental field of the Ministry of Agriculture, and any crops will be tried here.

Thinking of the future prospects of cotton, Li Xiu was also very excited, and he had no intention of fishing at the moment, so he wanted to go to the yamen of the Ministry of Agriculture, planning to ask Yang Dui where they had gone in planting cotton?

But at this moment, suddenly I only heard a rush of horses' hooves on the official road not far away, and then a cavalry galloped from the side of Chang'an, when Li Xiu saw these cavalry clearly, he couldn't help but whisper in surprise to himself: "It's not the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty?" ”
