When people are old, the most worrying thing is probably the affairs of their children, Li Shimin has many children, and among these children, the most favored is not the previous Li Tai, nor was he once made the prince and Li Chengqian, not the current prince Li Zhi, but the son of the princess of Jinyang.

Fortunately, although the son inherited the disease of the eldest grandson, but in fact, the disease is milder than Lizhi, but he was too doted by Li Shimin before, usually rarely exercised, and the diet was only fine, and neglected the cooperation of nutrition, so it led to the illness and illness, and later after the joint treatment of Li Xiu and Sun Simiao, coupled with the supervision of Lizhi, the son's body also slowly recovered, according to Sun Simiao, as long as this good living habits are maintained, it should be able to live like an ordinary person.

This year's son-in-law is already sixteen years old, and it is time to think about getting married, especially when Li Shimin is old, he is worried that he will be gone one day, so he wants to finalize his daughter's marriage before leaving, so that he can have one less thing to worry about, but Li Shimin has selected several candidates and his son-in-law is not satisfied, and he loves his son-in-law too much, and he is reluctant to force her, so this matter has been delayed so much, just today I took this opportunity to ask Li Xiu if there was a suitable candidate?

Li Xiu smiled bitterly when he heard this: "The princess and I both like the son-in-law, and even thought about asking the son-in-law to be a daughter-in-law, but the son-in-law grew up with the boys in my family, and the brother-sister relationship is more than the relationship between men and women, and the relationship is not demanding, and I have also asked the son-in-law in private, but now that she has grown up, some daughters are not willing to tell me about their hearts." ”

The son-in-law has been close to Li Xiu and his wife since he was a child, especially after the death of the eldest grandson, although Li Shimin dotes on this daughter, but he is usually busy with government affairs and does not have much time to accompany her, so Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang took on the responsibility of parents, remembering that when the son was a child, he would tell Li Xiu what was on his mind, but now that she is older, she naturally has her own privacy, even if it is impossible for parents to fully know the hearts of their children.

"I was also optimistic about a few boys in your family, and I once mentioned it to my son, but when I heard it, I couldn't get angry with my laughter, saying that there was no reason for my sister to marry my brother, which made me also have a headache!" When Li Shimin said this, he also showed an extremely distressed look on his face.

Li Xiu taught his sons well, in addition to Ping An Lang and Li Jin, the remaining sons are also very good, coupled with his status, so that countless powerful people want to marry his family, Li Shimin married Li Zhen to Ping An Lang, and also wanted to marry his son, but unfortunately his son and Li Xiu's sons are more like brothers and sisters or sisters and brothers, and there is no love between men and women at all.

"My son is grown up now, and I can't inquire about my youngest daughter's family, so I can't go back and discuss it with the princess, let her talk to my son, maybe I can find out what my son thinks." Li Xiu thought about it for a moment at this time and said again, it is really inconvenient for male elders to speak in this kind of matter, in comparison, Princess Pingyang is more convenient to inquire.

"That's all there is to it!" Li Shimin nodded helplessly when he heard Li Xiu's words, and when he said this, he couldn't help but think of Empress Eldest Sun again, if she was still there, he didn't have to worry about this kind of thing at all.

After chatting about the children, Li Shimin led the green horse in the garden for a while, this horse that had been rapidly improving on the battlefield was too old, not only could not ride, but even the instinct to run was lost, and he could only walk slowly behind Li Shimin and Li Xiu, and Li Shimin was also very patient, occasionally stopping to pull some tender grass and send it to the horse's mouth, but the old horse ate a few bites but refused to eat again.

"I'm old, and so are my horses!" Seeing the aging appearance of this green horse, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little sad again, and patted the green horse's neck at the moment.

Seeing Li Shimin's appearance, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh, at Li Shimin's age, there are too many things that remind them that they are old, no matter how much he explains, it is useless, because Li Shimin's heart is also old, and this kind of aging is more terrible than the aging of the body.

Li Xiu stayed in Cuiwei Palace until it was late before returning home, after dinner, he also came to Princess Pingyang's room, only to see Princess Pingyang was practicing calligraphy at this time, no matter how beautiful the beauty is, it is difficult to escape the wear and tear of the years, even Princess Pingyang is no exception, the original black hair has also added some white silk, and the skin is no longer as smooth as when she was young, but although her appearance is old, the temperament of Princess Pingyang has added to the precipitation of the years, and in Li Xiu's eyes, she is more attractive than when she was young.

"Husband's heart?" Princess Pingyang didn't look up and knew that Li Xiu was coming, and she didn't even need Li Xiu to say anything, she could feel that Li Xiu had something on her mind, this was the tacit understanding that the husband and wife had cultivated for many years.

"It's not a big deal, but when I think of my son's age, it's time to book a family affair for her." Li Xiu said with a smile at this time, he did not mention Li Shimin, so as not to cause Princess Pingyang to be unhappy.

"It turned out to be my son's business." I saw that Princess Pingyang also put down the brush in her hand when she heard Li Xiu's words, and then raised her head and showed a helpless smile to him and said, "It's a coincidence, my son is also here today, so I talked to her about this matter, but this girl is very tight-mouthed, and she doesn't want to talk to me about these things at all, and now I don't know what she thinks in her heart?" ”

"That's too bad, I thought it would be convenient for you to talk to her about these things, but I didn't expect her to even talk to you." Li Xiu was also patting his head at the moment, and he didn't know what his son was thinking, so I was afraid it would be difficult to find a candidate for the concubine who would satisfy him.

"Alas, it would be nice if Mingkong was here, the relationship between the son and her has always been good, and Mingkong is a ghost, anything can be tricked out by her, but it's a pity that she and Jin'er are not here, those of us who are elders are still not as good as their children of the same generation!" At this time, Princess Pingyang suddenly sighed and said again.

Li Jin controlled the navy in Dengzhou, he and Wu Mingkong also got married a few years ago, and the two have been living in Dengzhou since marriage, only coming back during the Chinese New Year, and Wu Mingkong is not a fuel-efficient lamp, the reason why Li Jin has been able to develop the navy so prosperous over the years, she has to account for at least half of the credit.

Li Xiu heard Princess Pingyang mention Wu Mingkong, but his heart moved at the moment, although Mingkong was not there, she was not the only one who had friends with her son, such as her own daughter.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu immediately patted his thigh, and then left Princess Pingyang to go to a small courtyard in the inner house, where his third daughter Ning An lived, and also the daughter of him and Yi Niang, she also has two sisters, namely Le An and Su Ya, but they are older, and they have been married before, only Ning An is about the same age as his son, and the two are also close friends who grew up together since childhood, so Li Xiu wanted to inquire about some news from Ning An.

"Father, why are you here?" Ning An was also reading a book at this time, and jumped up happily when she saw Li Xiu coming in, although she was born to Yi Niang, but her temperament is very similar to Princess Pingyang, usually Wen Taowu is good at everything, even Princess Pingyang praised her for learning her skills, even if she will be a general in the future.

"Ning An, what are you reading?" Li Xiu also smiled at this time and said, he was also very reluctant to marry his two children before, but his daughter is always going to get married, and now it is about to be Ning An's turn, speaking of which, among the daughters, Ning An is the most outstanding, but it is not good to be too good, for example, Ning An's vision is very high, and ordinary men are not in her eyes at all.

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just the art of war that I forced my second brother to write, and I have nothing to do to kill time." I saw Ning An smile mischievously at this time.

She is a heroine among women, she usually doesn't like embroidery women, but is very interested in the art of war, and it is not enough to learn from Princess Pingyang, and even forced Li Jin to write out the art of war learned from the military academy, to be precise, from Li Jing and give it to herself to study, and even there is a big sand table in her boudoir, which is used for usual deduction, which makes Li Xiu also very headache, I don't know what kind of husband this daughter will choose in the future?

"By the way, I heard that my son is here today, what did you all talk about?" Li Xiu temporarily put aside his worries about his daughter and began to inquire about his son, after all, this was the main purpose of his visit today.

"My son didn't come one day, we talked a lot, how could my father be interested in what we talked about?" Ning Anke was a smart woman in ice and snow, and she suddenly felt that something was wrong with her father, and she was very alert at the moment.

Li Xiu also knew that he couldn't hide his smart daughter at all, so he also said very frankly at this time: "Actually, it's not that I'm interested in your affairs, but Your Majesty wants to get married to your son, but your son has shirked it several times, and Your Majesty doesn't know what she thinks in her heart, so I asked me today if I know, but I don't know, so I came to ask you." ”

"Giggle~, it turns out that my father is here to be a spy for His Majesty, but my son and I are good friends, and I can't talk nonsense about her!" Ning An said with a coquettish smile when he heard this.

"You can't talk nonsense, that is, you know what the son thinks in his heart?" Li Xiu was refreshed when he heard his daughter's words, he was worried that his son's tone was too strict, and even Ning An didn't know what she was thinking, but now he was finally relieved.

"Of course I know, but father, you are still dead, I will never say it!" Ning An said proudly with her hands on her waist, a good girlfriend naturally has the responsibility of keeping secrets, and she will not betray her friends.
