Outside the Liangyi Palace, Li Xiu walked out of the hall slowly, with a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth, but Li Shimin in the main hall behind him was helpless, no matter how he retained, Li Xiu was finally ready to go to Suzhou to find his sister in person, this reason made him, the emperor, have no way to refuse, so he can only nod in agreement.

However, Li Shimin also knew that Li Xiu went to Suzhou not only to find his sister Qi Niang, but also to not want to participate in the government anymore, and Li Xiu's long trip also represented his attitude of refusing to enter the court no matter what.

In contrast, Li Xiu, who walked out of the Liangyi Palace, felt relaxed all over, and the worries of the past few days were finally completely put down, and he was able to find Qi Niang back in person, which made his mood become extremely good all of a sudden, and he couldn't help but feel brisk in his steps.

After returning home, Li Xiu also immediately found Princess Pingyang, Yiniang, and Yuechan, and then announced that he was going to Suzhou to find Qi Niang, because Li Xiu had never liked to bring things outside home, so he didn't tell Princess Pingyang about this matter in advance, and they didn't even know that Li Shimin wanted Li Xiu to enter the court as an official.

"Husband is going to Suzhou?" After listening to Li Xiu's words, Yi Niang was the first to cry out in surprise.

"Yes, I was very worried after Qi Niang left, and it just so happened that His Majesty had to let me enter the court as an official, so I naturally didn't want to, so I went out to avoid the limelight by looking for Qi Niang, lest Your Majesty worry about me again!" Li Xiu said with a smile at the moment.

"It's good to go out and avoid it, after all, the court is a place of right and wrong, if the husband is really trapped, it will be difficult to come out again in the future." Yuechan heard Li Xiu's words and immediately said, she is now pregnant, and the things at home are slowly letting go of concentrating on raising the baby, and now the whole person looks much rounder, but it is a little similar to when she first came to Li Xiu's house.

"Giggles, many people have traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an, just to gain fame, but the husband is good, in order not to be an official, he actually wants to escape from Chang'an, this is probably the only one in the world!" Yi Niang also smiled at this time, she has been married for many years, she naturally knows what Li Xiu thinks in her heart, and she is not surprised that he made such a decision.

"Since my husband is going to Suzhou, how do you plan to go, alone or with others?" Princess Pingyang also asked at this time, no matter what Li Xiu decides, she will support it, not to mention that because of the matter of Xuanwumen, she has always disliked Li Xiu and Li Shimin getting too close, of course, she is also very considerate of Li Xiu, after all, they are in the Tang Dynasty, and they usually inevitably deal with Li Shimin.

"This time I went to Suzhou mainly to avoid the limelight, so I might stay outside for a long time, and it just so happens that there is nothing to do at home now, so I thought about it before and decided to take our family with me, so that we can walk and play on the road and relax, what do you think?" Li Xiudang smiled and proposed, this is also a decision he made after thinking about it for a few days.

"Yes, yes!" As soon as Li Xiu's words came out, Yi Niang immediately exclaimed in surprise, but then she looked at Yuechan next to her, and said with an embarrassed expression on her face, "Husband's idea is very good, but Yuechan is pregnant now, how can she go out with us?" ”

"I've already taken this into consideration, Yuechan's current month is still small, and it doesn't affect the action, and as far as I know, the canal from Luoyang to Yangzhou has also been dredged, and it can be used for big ships. Li Xiu said with a smile again.

At the beginning, Yang Guang launched the power of the whole country in order to dig the Grand Canal, which also directly led to the civil strife of the Great Sui, but no matter what the result, the Grand Canal was finally dug up, but after many years of war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Grand Canal lacked management and dredging, resulting in the siltation of some canal sections and the impassability of ships.

"That's great, it just so happened that I felt a little depressed after I was pregnant, and now I can sail south with my husband, which is also a beautiful thing!" Yuechan also said happily when she heard this, in fact, there was one thing she didn't say, that is, she was originally a southerner, although her hometown Yueyang is a little far away from Suzhou, but after all, she also belongs to the south.

"This is a solution, I remember that Qi Niang didn't design some boats that run on the river, I used to hear her say how stable her boat is, let's go south this time we can take it in person!" Princess Pingyang also smiled at this time, it seemed that she was also very much in favor of Li Xiu's proposal.

"Then it's decided, you clean up in the next few days, arrange the things at home, and I'll personally arrange our itinerary for this journey!" Li Xiu saw that several wives agreed, and he was very happy at the moment.

"Husband, if we go to Suzhou with such fanfare, will people know about Qi Niang's running away from home?" At this moment, I saw Yi Niang ask worriedly again, and as soon as her words came out, Princess Pingyang and Yuechan also showed worried expressions.

"It's okay, Your Majesty has agreed to keep the news of Qi Niang's departure for me, let's leave Chang'an this time I am still ready to go to Luoyang to play, anyway, it's not the first time we go to Luoyang, and when we get to Luoyang, we can take a boat south from there to Yangzhou, Yangzhou and Suzhou are already next to each other, I heard that the scenery of Yangzhou is good, we can play there for a few more days." Li Xiu explained with a smile again.

Although Li Xiu is trusted by Li Shimin, he has no official position in the court except for the Ministry of Agriculture, so as long as he leaves Chang'an, no one will care where he goes? What's more, like some nobles in Chang'an City, it is normal for them to go to other places to play, and even some have purchased properties in various places, and they go to live in other places for a period of time on a whim.

"It's still thoughtful, then do it, I'll go and settle the family's affairs!" Yi Niang was also relieved when she heard Li Xiu's words, and then said excitedly.

In the next few days, Li Xiu's family was also busy with chickens and dogs, and several children jumped with joy when they knew that they were going out to play, the only trouble was the family's industry, after all, they would have to come back for at least half a year, fortunately, Ma Ye was in Chang'an, so he could only trouble him to take care of it more.

It's just that before Li Xiu could leave, an unexpected person suddenly came to the door and wanted to walk with them.
