"Believing it or not actually doesn't make much difference to me, it's just that I don't like to think about things too complicated, wouldn't it be easier to simply do it?" For Pei Lian's rhetorical question, Li Xiu also gave such an ambiguous answer, and the smile on his face was also very free, no matter what kind of mind Li Ke had, as long as he could keep his heart and not be disturbed by external objects, then it would not have much impact on him.

"You ......" Pei Lin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Li Xiu's answer, and then couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, "The horse is worthy of being a horse, and I am afraid that only you can say such a thing in the entire Tang Dynasty, but I don't know if you have found out about the horse, you seem to have been slowly involved in the court in the past few years, are you really sure that you are beyond things in the future?" ”

As soon as Pei Lian's last words came out, Li Xiu couldn't help but look at him in surprise, and his mind seemed to be illuminated by a bolt of lightning, although he repeatedly claimed that he was unwilling to pay attention to the affairs of the court, but in recent years, with Li Shimin's ascension to the throne, he has actively or passively participated in the court, especially in the treatment of the Turkic enemy, he is even more actively involved, and now he is often called into the palace by Li Shimin to discuss matters, which is obviously out of his heart.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a little afraid, if it weren't for Pei Lian's reminder, he really didn't realize this problem, which made him hurriedly salute Pei Lian: "Thank you Pei Gong for reminding me, I really didn't realize this problem, fortunately, now that the Turks have been wiped out, I can take a good rest next." ”

When Li Xiu said the end, he had already secretly decided in his heart that since he had realized this problem, he would slowly keep a distance from the affairs of the court, and he could not personally participate in any matter what he did before, such as the recent introduction of white stacks, he could buy cotton seeds from Hu Shang at a high price in private, or let Yang Dui apply to the court in the name of the Ministry of Agriculture.

"Hehe, in fact, you don't have to thank me, the person you really want to thank should be the emperor!" Pei Lin saw that Li Xiu had finally come to his senses, and he smiled at the moment.

"The Emperor? Could it be ......" Li Xiu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and at the same time, he finally understood, it is estimated that Pei Lin came here today not only to see Li Ke, but the real purpose is probably to wake himself up on behalf of Li Yuan.

"Yes, the Emperor Taishang told me yesterday that he no longer has any hope for his son, but he doesn't want anything to happen to Princess Pingyang again, as her husband, sometimes you naturally have to pay attention to some, especially royal affairs, and it is absolutely not appropriate to interfere too much, and even the Emperor Taishang also said that he still prefers the previous Li Xiu, who regards fame and fortune as dung and will never enter the court for half a step!" Pei Lin also put away his smile at this time, and said solemnly.

Li Xiu couldn't help but stand up straight when he heard this, and then bowed to Pei Lianshen and said: "Thank you Pei Gong, I will personally thank the Emperor there, I just happened to be free these days, I heard that there is a small lake on the other side of Nanshan that is rich in black fish, why don't we go boating and fishing together?" ”

Seeing that Li Xiu came to his senses so quickly, Pei Lin also laughed at the moment, and then made an appointment to fish with Li Xiu in a few days, and then said goodbye and left, and Li Xiu kept sending the other party to the carriage.

After Pei Lin left, Li Xiu immediately returned home, and then stayed alone in the study and pondered, Li Yuan let Pei Lin wake him up, at first it was because of the Turkic affairs, so that he took the initiative to participate in the court politics, but as time went by, he also unconsciously slowly fell into the court, if it goes on like this, I am afraid he will have to be like the eldest grandson Wuji, it is impossible to get out.

Fortunately, it's not too late to wake up now, after all, Li Xiu doesn't have any other official positions in the court except for the official position of Langzhong in the Ministry of Agriculture, so it's easy for him to get out, it's a big deal to go on a tour of the mountains and rivers recently, and no longer pay attention to Li Shimin's call, it's really okay to pretend to be sick, anyway, with Sun Simiao here, let him be a proof and no one can say anything.

Thinking about this, Li Xiu finally felt a lot more relaxed, in comparison, Li Ke and their princes are nothing at all, anyway, Li Xiu made up his mind to be an outsider, no matter what Li Ke wants, it has nothing to do with him, in fact, it is nothing to accept Li Ke as a student, after all, Li Chengqian and Li Tai are both his students, to put it mildly, even if the three of them really fight because of the throne in the future, Li Xiu will not bother to care, after all, they are all students, and it is not good to help anyone.

At dinner, Yuechan came to ask Li Xiu to eat with her stomach, which made Li Xiu feel a little distressed: "Yuechan, you are inconvenient, let your subordinates do this kind of thing in the future, so as not to tire your body." ”

"Giggles, don't worry, master, the concubine's body is in good health, and my sister Yiniang said that pregnant women can't sit all the time, and it's good to move around more!" Yuechan didn't care at this time, during this time, she also asked Yiniang and Princess Pingyang a lot of things about pregnancy, and she was usually very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Hearing Yuechan say this, Li Xiu couldn't help it, but he still helped her to the restaurant, Yiniang and Princess Pingyang were there, but there were too many children in the family, in addition to Jin'er and Princess Pingyang's brothers and sisters, there were also several younger sisters of Li Chengdao, and even Wu Mingkong and Li Lizhen were also here, they were all Li Xiu's students, and sometimes they would live here at night.

The child's family, the family is naturally very noisy, especially Le'an, the little guy who learned to walk not long ago, but he still likes to run, at this time around the table has been running non-stop, Yiniang and Pingyang can't catch her, and the other children also like to amuse Le'an, as a result, the whole restaurant is like a war, and finally Li Xiu came over and asked the maid to catch one, which finally finished the meal.

"By the way, did Qi Niang go to Uncle Ma's place for dinner?" After eating, Li Xiu had the opportunity to ask Yiniang and Princess Pingyang.

"Yes, Ha'er is about to get married, and Qi Niang is also helping Ha'er buy a dowry these days!" Yiniang said with a happy face at this time, Ha'er has been engaged to Shangguanyi a long time ago, but firstly, Yiniang is a little young, and secondly, Shangguanyi is focused on her career, so she has not married for the time being, but now that Ha'er's age is up, Shangguanyi is about to be promoted, and she still has to go to other places to be officials, so Ma Ye and his wife also want to do their marriage.

"Ha'er's marriage is definitely going to be a big deal, it just so happens that I have also prepared a dowry for Ha'er, and I'll send it to Uncle Ma later!" As soon as Li Xiu heard about Ha'er's marriage, he immediately slapped his head and said, in his heart, Ha'er is his sister like Qi Niang, and now his sister is going to get married, and he, as a brother, naturally has to prepare a dowry.

"It's not just the husband's, it's also the things we prepared for the hate, wait until the husband also sends it over, and marrying a daughter is a big deal, Uncle Ma is old, and the husband will help him more during this time!" Princess Pingyang also said at this time, she, Yi Niang, and Yuechan also prepared a lot of dowries for Ha'er, anyway, the dowry is not too much, the more the mother's face.

Li Xiu naturally agreed to this, and immediately ordered someone to load the prepared dowry, although it was already late at this time, but anyway, he was very close to Ma Ye's house, and he didn't need to unload the car when he pulled these things, and he just had to marry the car directly on the day of the wedding, but speaking of Shangguanyi, this kid is really blessed, just these things that hated the marriage were enough for their Shangguan family to eat for a lifetime.

When the car was loaded, Li Xiu asked people to drive the cart to Ma Ye's house, only to see that the Ma Mansion was also full of lights, although it was not yet the day of marriage, but the house was already full of joy, Li Xiu and their convoy entered the house, and immediately had a subordinate handover, Li Xiu didn't need to be reported, and went straight to the backyard to find Ma Ye.

However, before Li Xiu saw Ma Ye, he saw Qi Niang holding a set of wedding clothes and was about to go to the courtyard where Hate Er lived, it seemed that she wanted Hate Er to try on clothes, but when she saw Li Xiu, she immediately ran over and said with a smile: "Big brother, I have something to discuss with you!" ”
