Li Yuan had already taken the fake death pill for a day and a night, but Li Xiu had never seen Pei Lian's figure, and finally Li Xiu couldn't help it, so he quietly asked people to inquire, only to know that Pei Lian was discussing Li Yuan's funeral with the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and had not come to the Stopping Spirit Hall at all.

got that Pei Lin hadn't been here at all, and Li Xiu couldn't help but be more anxious, but he couldn't show it yet, after all, there were many people around him who were guarding here, and Princess Pingyang and Jin'er also needed him to take care of them, so he could only bury the anxiety in his heart in the bottom of his heart.

With the acceleration of the pace of life in later generations, the traditional custom of waking spirits has been greatly simplified in later generations, even in the most traditional areas, generally only need to be kept overnight on the night of the first seven days, but the traditional etiquette of this era of the Tang Dynasty is still very strong, especially Li Yuan as an emperor, the etiquette is different from ordinary people, according to the regulations, princes and princesses need to keep the spirit for 100 days.

Of course, the so-called 100-day wake, does not mean that everyone must be in front of the spirit, in fact, the wake-up only needs to ensure that there are relatives in front of the spirit, and if you really keep the spirit for 100 days, I'm afraid that ordinary people can't stand it, so the wake-up is generally in turn, of course, some filial sons may also try to stay in front of the spirit, in order to show their filial piety.

Li Shimin, as the emperor, has been kneeling and sitting in the innermost part of the mourning hall, opposite Princess Pingyang and Li Xiu, in addition to Princess Changguang and others, speaking of Li Yuan's children, but as long as the son reaches the age of twelve or thirteen, he was sent to the fief by Li Shimin and cannot come back, many princesses are married and went to other places, only a few adult princesses such as Princess Pingyang and Princess Changguang are here, and the rest are some underage princesses and princes, some have even just been weaned, so naturally they can't count on it.

"Third sister, you have been guarding for a day, if your father is still here, he will definitely feel sorry for you and the little grandson in your belly, so you should go back to your residence to rest and eat something by the way!" At this moment, Princess Changguang, who had always been good friends with Princess Pingyang, spoke to her again.

"Yes, Xiuning, you haven't rested much since last night, even if you can hold on, the child in your belly can't hold it!" Li Xiu also opened his mouth to persuade at this time, he knew that if he wanted to persuade Princess Pingyang to go back to rest, the only way was to persuade the two unborn children.

"Mother, I'm so hungry too, the little brother in your belly must be hungry too, let's go back and eat something together!" Li Jin was also very clever at this time, and begged with Princess Pingyang's arm at the moment.

Seeing that her sister, husband and son persuaded herself to rest, Princess Pingyang also showed a hesitant expression, in fact, she did feel very sleepy, after all, pregnant women are easy to get tired, plus excessive grief, yesterday may have been nothing, but now I also feel sleepy abnormally, and my brain is a little drowsy.

"Okay, then the fifth sister, you will guard your father here first, and I will go back and rest for a while and then come back for you!" In the end, Princess Pingyang finally nodded and said, which also made Li Xiu's father and son breathe a sigh of relief at the same time, and then helped Princess Pingyang to leave here together.

In fact, last night Princess Changguang and others were resting in their rooms, but Princess Pingyang and Li Shimin were their children, so they all stayed in front of the spirit.

The room has been prepared for a long time, Princess Pingyang just returned to the room, Li Xiu immediately asked people to prepare the meal, and then the family of three sat down to eat together, although Princess Pingyang had no appetite, but under the persuasion of her husband and son, plus for the sake of the child in her belly, she reluctantly ate some, and then lay down on the bed to rest.

After a while, Princess Pingyang fell asleep, after all, she was too tired, Li Xiu was also relieved to see this, and quietly exited the room with Li Jin. But at this moment, I saw that Li Jin's little face finally relaxed and said, "My mother finally fell asleep, otherwise I would be really worried about the younger brother in my mother's belly." ”

"How do you know it's a younger brother, what if it's a younger sister?" Li Xiu asked with a dumb smile when he heard this, since he knew that he was going to be an elder brother, Li Jin seemed to have grown up overnight, and often ran to Princess Pingyang to ask for warmth, for fear that his unborn brother or sister would be wronged.

"It must be a younger brother, Erniang and Sanniang have already given birth to two younger sisters, so my mother will definitely give birth to a younger brother this time!" Li Jin raised his little head very much at this time, and said with an affirmative face.

"What's so good about my brother, do you want a brother who is as naughty as you?" Li Xiu smiled again at this time, the past two days have been too depressing, and it is rare to be alone with his son, so he can't help but joke with his son at this time.

"My brother is definitely better than my sister, at least better than Le'an's girl, and a Le'an has already made me and my eldest brother unbearable, but Sanniang gave birth to Su Ya again, and fortunately Su Ya is too young, and she is not very good at making trouble now, but she will definitely be damaged by Le'an in the future, I don't want to have another sister!" Li Jin said angrily at this time.

Le An is the daughter of Li Xiu and Yi Niang, and also his first daughter, naturally she is a baby, now the little guy can run and jump, talk and make trouble, and like to find older children to play, as a result, Li Jin and Ping An Lang suffered, and this little sister can not be beaten, scolded or scolded, and even drove her away, and no matter what, she has to let her, speaking of which Le An is also very domineering, she has to grab anything she sees, and now Li Jin and Ping An Lang and several other older children are avoiding her, With such a sister as Le'an, Li Jin is naturally reluctant to have another sister.

"Le'an is still young now, and when he is older, he will be sensible, not to mention that whether it is a younger brother or a younger sister, I am afraid they will not reason with you until they are sensible!" Li Xiu couldn't help but cry and laugh when he heard his son's words, but Li Jin's words reminded him that Le'an, this girl has also reached the age of making rules, and she can't be used to everything anymore.

"That's different, I used to only have a younger sister and no younger brother, and the eldest brother's temperament is too honest, and we can't play together, if there is a younger brother, I can take him out to hunt and fight dogs with those brothers, and beat them up if they don't like it, especially a few boys from the eldest grandson's family, who dared to disobey us before, and I have to teach them a good lesson after a while!" The more Li Jin spoke, the happier he became, and finally told all the truth in his heart.

Li Xiu's face became darker the more he listened to it, if he really let Li Jin take his younger brother like this, I am afraid that it will not be long before their Li family will have two more evils, it seems that not only does he have to strengthen the discipline of his daughter, but his son also can't relax!

But Li Jin is a child after all, he hasn't rested much since yesterday, and now he is a little tired after dinner, and he fell asleep after a while, Li Xiu asked him to carry him back to his room to rest, but he himself did not have the slightest sleep, after all, his mind is now full of people who Li Yuan faked his death, if he waits for another day, maybe Li Yuan will change from fake death to real death.

It is precisely because of this that Li Xiu stepped into the mourning hall again, in addition to Princess Changguang and others, Li Shimin has also been kneeling there motionless, in fact, since he came here last night, Li Shimin has been kneeling in front of Li Yuan's spirit, not eating, drinking, or sleeping, until now, even if the eldest grandson queen came to persuade him to rest, he did not agree.

Just when Li Xiu came to the mourning hall, he happened to see that Empress Changsun was also here, and she was also kneeling next to Li Shimin, as if she was whispering something, but Li Shimin was unconscious, and finally Empress Changsun's tears poured out, but it still had no effect.

Seeing this, Li Xiu couldn't help sighing, and then walked to Li Shimin's side, and then bowed down and saluted: "Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, you are tied to the safety of the world, but you have not eaten or drunk for a day and a night now, this is really not a wise move, and I hope that Your Majesty will take national affairs first and take care of the dragon's body!" ”

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Li Shimin finally reacted, only to see him turn his head and glance at Li Xiu blankly, and then sighed lightly: "I am the Son of Heaven, but can't I do a little filial piety for my father?" ”

"The Emperor Taishang originally raised troops from Taiyuan, and it took several years to lay down the current country, His Majesty inherited the unification, for the Emperor Taishang, His Majesty's greatest filial piety is to carry forward the Tang Dynasty and create a prosperous era through the ages!" Li Xiu spoke again at this time, he knew that ordinary persuasion might not be useful, so his tone became a little tough.

"Prosperous?" When Li Shimin heard Li Xiu's words, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and the expression on his face also changed, no longer as indifferent as before, and the whole person looked a little more angry.

"What the horse said is very true, Your Majesty should also take state affairs first, and the sons and pheasants are still young, if Your Majesty's dragon body is sick, then we ...... What should we do? When Empress Changsun saw Li Shimin's changes, she was also overjoyed at the moment, and then she persuaded again, and even took out her youngest son and youngest daughter to impress Li Shimin, after all, Li Shimin usually loves the youngest children the most.

Empress Eldest Sun's words really worked, and when Li Shimin heard his favorite children, the whole person suddenly regained his usual calm, and finally stood up and said after a while: "Let people prepare meals, and I will come to guard the soul of my father after resting!" ”

Seeing that Li Shimin finally agreed to eat and rest, Empress Changsun couldn't help crying with joy, and at the same time glanced at Li Xiu gratefully, and then helped Li Shimin out of the Stopping Spirit Palace, preparing to go to the palace behind to rest.

However, as soon as Li Shimin and the others came out of the main hall, they suddenly saw the northwest sky blazing, and it seemed that the entire sky seemed to be ignited!
