"Uncle, didn't my father promise to take me to play in person, why did you pick us up today?" In the swaying carriage, Li Zhen blinked a pair of big eyes and stared at Li Xiu and asked.

"This ...... Actually, your father wants to take you to play together, but there was an incident in the court yesterday, and your father must deal with it personally, so your father really can't spare time, so he handed over this important task to me! Li Xiu hesitated for a moment and finally explained with a smile.

"It's like this every time, I don't believe my father's words anymore!" At this moment, I saw a little Zhengtai sitting next to Li Lizhi said dissatisfiedly, this little guy has red lips and white teeth and is very cute, it is Li Zhi of Tang Gaozong in history, but although he is the emperor, when later generations mention him, they all like to replace him with Li Shimin's son or Wu Zetian's husband, which is really sad to say.

"Uncle's food is delicious, I'm going to play with Brother Jin!" As soon as Li Zhi's words fell, I saw a little girl sitting on the other side of Li Lizhi clapping her hands, this little girl looked like she was three or four years old, her name was Li Mingda, and her nickname was Lizhi and Li Zhi's own sister, that is, Princess Jinyang, who died early in history.

"Haha~, or my son has a vision, when I get to the house, my aunt will make you a few delicious foods, okay?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be happy when he heard his son's words, his son is only three years old this year, two years younger than Li Zhi, although her body is not as good as her sister Li Lizhi, but she is extremely smart and sensible, and she is usually loved by Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

"Great, my son's favorite dish is my uncle's cooking!" Mingda also immediately clapped his hands when he heard Li Xiu's words, and her round little face was also full of bright smiles, in fact, the little girl had never eaten Li Xiu's dishes at all, but she seemed to like Li Xiu very much, and she believed Li Xiu no matter what Li Xiu said.

Seeing the happy appearance of his son, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh secretly, after discussing the matter of minting gold coins yesterday, Li Shimin pulled him and didn't let him go, at first he talked about the illness of Empress Changsun, and then talked about his children, and finally said that his purpose of leaving Li Xiu was actually very simple, that is, to let Li Xiu help watch the children.

Li Shimin is recognized as a good emperor in history, among the emperors of all dynasties, he can definitely be ranked in the top three, but he is not a good father, just look at the fate of his sons.

And this time the matter is also very simple, when the eldest grandson queen was sick, he didn't have time to take care of it, it was always Lizhi who was taking care of his mother, and now the eldest grandson's condition is improving, Li Shimin was happy, and promised to take Lizhen's sister and brother out to play, it was originally agreed that it would be tomorrow, but Li Shimin couldn't spare time, so he pulled Li Xiu to the top cylinder, originally Li Xiu only needed to bring Li Lizhi and Li Zhi, but the son has always been Li Zhi's follower, knowing that his brother and sister are going out of the palace to play, and he is not clamoring to go, In the end, after Li Xiu obtained Li Shimin's consent, he also brought her with him.

The son is obviously out of the palace for the first time, looking at everything outside the car window feels fresh, and has been asking what this is and what is that, Li Xiu's family has many children, and he has long been accustomed to talking to children, so he is also very patient to answer for her, and when she encounters some snacks she likes, she will also let people buy them for her, and the little girl is very happy, and finally even sat directly in Li Xiu's arms and ate the fried corn that Li Xiu peeled for her.

"Uncle, the eldest brother, the second brother and the fifth sister all study with you, can I also study with you in the future?" Li Zhi saw that his sister, who had always followed him, was so close to Li Xiu, and he couldn't help but say tentatively, although he hadn't seen Li Xiu much, but he had heard a lot about Li Xiu from his sister Li Lizhen, and he also knew that as long as he went to Li Xiu, he could not only study, but also have time to play, which was much better than the boring palace.

"Hehe, as long as your father and mother agree, you can go to me at any time, of course, if you don't want to learn, you can also go at any time, for example, although your fourth brother is nominally my student, he is not here, so the number of times he goes to study with me is very small." Li Xiu also smiled when he heard this.

"Hehe, my fourth brother only likes poetry and articles, I don't have much interest in those boring things, but I think the things that the eldest sister learned from her uncle are very interesting, such as why birds fly in the sky and why fish swim in the water, these questions The gentleman in the palace will not help me answer them at all, but my sister knows it!" When Li Zhi said the end, he glanced at Li Lizhi next to him, the eldest grandson queen was not in good health, so he and his son-in-law were usually mainly taken care of by Li Lizhen, and the relationship between the two sisters and brothers was also very deep.

Hearing Li Zhi say this, Li Xiu couldn't help laughing, and casually asked Li Zhi about his schoolwork, and found that Li Zhi had indeed learned from Li Lizhi attentively, and he understood many of the things he taught, which made Li Xiu a little surprised, you must know that Li Zhi was only six years old, and he had just entered elementary school in the next generation, but the knowledge he learned now is definitely more than that of ordinary children who have just entered elementary school.

"Uncle, since my father doesn't have time, what are you going to take us to play?" Li Zhi is an idle character, at this time he asked again, he usually does not have many opportunities to go out of the palace, and it is generally carried by Li Shimin, and there are a bunch of people around him, although Li Shimin did not come this time, but he is also rare to be free, and the child is forgetful, and now he has long forgotten his previous unhappiness, and he wants to have a good day.

"Now that the weather is getting warmer, the south wind is blowing, and the weather is good today, which is suitable for kite flying, so how about we go kite flying this morning?" Li Xiu said with a smile, in fact, he had already thought about the program before he came, and Jin'er and Ping'anlang were also ready at home.

"Fly a kite! I like it, let's hurry up! When the son heard that he was going to fly a kite, he jumped up excitedly and shouted, the little girl had also seen the palace maid fly a kite in the palace, and she herself wanted her parents to fly a kite with her several times, but Li Shimin agreed very well, but every time she would miss the appointment, and now someone finally accompanied her to fly a kite.

"Giggle~, look at your son, if you let the female officials in the palace see it, I'm afraid you won't look like a princess!" Seeing her sister's happy appearance, Lizhi couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile at the moment, these princesses have to receive strict etiquette education since they were young, and their sons are young and have just begun to learn etiquette, but they can't remember it, so they are nagged by female officials.

"I don't learn any etiquette, it's so annoying, I have to learn from my uncle like Brother Jiu and my sister!" When the son heard his sister's words, he said with his hands on his waist at the moment, the female officials in the palace were strict, and she couldn't do this or that, it was too difficult for her.

Seeing the cute appearance of the son, Li Xiu couldn't help laughing, because he felt that the son's current appearance was too cute, no wonder Li Shimin doted on her so much. But then he thought of the untimely death of his son in history, which made his heart can't help but cast a shadow, the son is a rhinoceros, the reason why Li Shimin gave her this name is to hope that she can be as strong as a rhinoceros, because the body of the son is similar to Lizhi, and even more serious than Lizhi, which is also a genetic disease given to her daughters by Queen Changsun.

After a while, the carriage came to Li Xiu's house, at this time Qi Niang had already taken Ping'an Lang and Jin'er and others to play on the grass outside the door, now the weather is getting warmer, the river bank has been dyed with a layer of new green, birds and birds also fly to the grass from time to time to peck at the insects that have just come out of the soil, attracting the children of the family to fly and chase from time to time.

"Cousin~" Li Zhi knew Ping'an Lang and Jin'er, and immediately shouted when he saw them, and as soon as the carriage stopped, he immediately jumped down, and then rushed over to fight with Jin'er and them, although the son was a little strange to his cousin and cousin, but under the leadership of Lizhi, Qi Niang and a group of girls soon played, Qi Niang also helped them pick out kites, and then a group of children dragged kites on the grass and ran wildly, whether they could fly was secondary, the key was that the children had fun.

With so many children accompanied, Li Xiu also felt that there was no need to guard here at all, not to mention that there was only one hour left before noon at this time, just now he promised to cook for his son and them personally, so he rolled up his sleeves and came to the kitchen, and really made a few specialty dishes, but at noon, Li Zhi and they came back to eat when they were tired of playing, and they were also full of praise for the dishes made by Li Xiu, and the son was even more noisy to come often in the future.

After lunch, a group of children are too full, and at this time the day is short, the children are unwilling to take a nap, Li Xiu has nothing to do, so he simply summoned the children to the grass in the garden and told them stories, this is Li Xiu's strength, the information explosion of later generations, the information he was exposed to was by no means comparable to the ancients, and he almost came to this kind of story to coax children, even if he couldn't remember clearly, he could make up one.

has been telling the story for almost an hour, Li Xiu is also tired, at this time he estimated that the children were almost digested, so he asked Qi Niang to take them to play games, and he could drink saliva and take a rest, speaking of which, taking these children with him is more than going to the financial supervision to deal with official business.

However, as soon as Li Xiu took a sip of water, he suddenly found that Jin'er, who had always been the most active, seemed a little dull, and even played games a little absent-mindedly, which made him a little surprised, you must know that this kid has always been naughty and mischievous, and it is extremely rare to see this situation like now.

At that moment, Li Xiu called Li Jin in front of him, and then asked: "What's the matter, seeing that you are listless, don't you dare to tell your family what trouble you have caused outside?" ”89
