"Why is the princess here?" Li Xiu showed a quiet smile and said, the moment he saw Princess Pingyang, he didn't know why, the messy thoughts in his mind disappeared all at once, and it seemed that he didn't have to think about anything at this moment, just enjoy the moment.

"I left in a bit of a hurry this morning, I was worried that no one would take care of these flowers and plants, so I came back with Qi Niang, and it just so happened that we were fine, so I planned to plant some first, Captain Li wouldn't think we were a little abrupt, right?" Princess Pingyang said a little embarrassed at this time, although she had good intentions, but after all, this was Li Xiu's home, and it was indeed a bit reckless to plant flowers and plants without his consent.

"The princess is too polite, although she has raised some flowers and plants, but she doesn't know anything about the layout of flowers and plants, and it is a good thing for the princess to be willing to help!" Li Xiu also showed a gentle smile at this time.

"Brother, I begged Sister Xiuning to plant flowers and plants with me!" Qi Niang ran over at this time and grabbed Li Xiu's hand and said happily, and then pointed to a laurel sapling not far away at a 45-degree angle to the ground and said excitedly, "Brother, look, that's the osmanthus tree that I planted with Xiaosan, Sister Xiuning said that it will be able to bloom in a while!" ”

Li Xiu looked at the junior under the tree with his back to the laurel tree, and his two hind legs kept digging dirt on the tree, and finally sprinkled urine under the roots of the tree by the way, so as to declare that the tree belonged to him.

"The tree is nice, but I think it would look better if it was straightened!" Li Xiu bent down and said to Qi Niang with a smile, at this time he always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Qi Niang's words, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't think of anything wrong?

"Brother is so stupid, I deliberately let it grow diagonally, so that when it blooms, it is convenient for me to pick the osmanthus flowers and make snacks to eat!" Qi Niang said proudly with her small chest at this time, as if she was very proud of her thoughts.

"Huh? Well, Qi Niang, you are so smart! Li Xiu could only helplessly praise when he heard this, the creative nature of children still needs to be cultivated, and even if the osmanthus tree grows crooked, it doesn't seem to have much impact.

"Hehe, Sister Xiuning praised me like that just now!" Qi Niang heard her brother's praise, and smiled proudly again.

"Wait! Sister Xiuning? Whoever told you to call it that, do you want to call the princess to know! At this time, Li Xiu finally found out that there was something wrong with Qi Niang's words, she actually called Princess Pingyang by her name, and also called her sister, which seemed to be a little inappropriate.

"Captain Li doesn't have to blame Qi Niang, I asked her to call it that, Qi Niang is well-behaved and cute, having her with me also makes me feel less boring than before, and always calling the princess is also a bit raw, so I asked her to change her name to my sister, speaking of which, I also have a lot of younger sisters, but in addition to getting married, they stay in the palace, and I can't see them until I enter the palace." Princess Pingyang said with a smile at this time, but her face was still a little red when she spoke.

"Hehe, it's still Sister Xiuning who is good to me!" Qi Niang heard the princess speak for herself, and immediately ran over to hug her happily and said, she was very young, her mother died, which made her life have always lacked an older female character, and the appearance of Princess Pingyang just filled this role.

Since it was Princess Pingyang's request, Li Xiu couldn't say anything, although Princess Pingyang and Qi Niang had been here for a while, but one of them was a child, and the other had inconvenient legs and feet, so there were not many flowers and plants planted, and Li Xiu just had nothing else to do, not to mention that he was the master here, so he naturally had to make a contribution, and he also rolled up his sleeves and started to work at the moment, such as digging pits and carrying heavy work, he did it all by himself, Princess Pingyang and Qi Niang only needed to follow behind and plant flowers and plants.

Princess Pingyang is very careful when planting flowers and plants, when the flowers and plants are planted, she also uses her white hands to press the soil, and she doesn't mind that her hands are covered with dirt, and she will also check the flowers and plants planted by Qi Niang, and help her point out from time to time, whenever she sees them whispering and chuckling with two beauties, Li Xiu has a very happy feeling, I really hope that time will stay at this moment forever.

The area of the new yard is more than ten times larger than the old yard, and it is divided into three yards before and after, so these flowers and plants can not be planted in one day, the flowers and plants sent by Princess Pingyang are all with soil, and if they are watered on time, there is no problem with storing them for a few days, so when the sun sets, Li Xiu asked Princess Pingyang and Qi Niang to stop and rest, and he went to fetch water for them to wash their hands, and by the way, the flowers and plants planted were also watered.

Watering flowers is a very enjoyable process, watching the flowers and plants stretch their branches and leaves under their own watering, which makes people's mood also stretch out, but when there are too many flowers and plants, watering flowers has become a hard job, fortunately there is still a lot of water in the tank, otherwise Li Xiu will have to draw water from the well, which will be even more tiring.

Princess Pingyang saw this, and immediately stood up to help, although she was on crutches, but the leg injury was almost healed, and her movement was not affected, Li Xiu wanted to persuade her to rest, but Princess Pingyang shook her head with a smile, and then picked up a water scoop to help water, Li Xiu only needed to be responsible for bringing the water in the water tank.

The two of them worked a lot faster, and after watering, Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang washed their hands and faces, and sat on the steps in front of the living room to rest, as if the child never knew to be tired, Qi Niang sat for a while and then jumped up and ran around with Xiao San in the yard, looking at the cheerful Qi Niang, Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang did not speak for a while.

"Princess, do you have any plans for the rest of your life?" After a long while, Li Xiu suddenly spoke, and as he spoke, his eyes looked at the sunset in the sky, as if he was thinking about something?

"Why do you ask this question all of a sudden?" Princess Pingyang stroked the messy hair on her forehead to her ears, turned her head to look at Li Xiu and asked softly.

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly felt a little confused about the road ahead, so I want to hear what the princess thinks?" Li Xiu smiled and said, he thought of Li Shimin's words before, which also made him feel a little confused about the future for the first time.

I saw that Princess Pingyang also showed a contemplative expression at this time, and after a while, she sighed lightly and said: "For the future life, I also have no plans, maybe it is not bad now, raise flowers and plants, watch the sunset, life is just a few decades, maybe it will pass soon!" ”

Princess Pingyang's words revealed a sense of twilight, this is not like what a young woman should say, which also made Li Xiu's heart suddenly move, and he suddenly turned his head to stare at Princess Pingyang's eyes and said: "Princess, last time I was by the river, I asked you why you didn't dissolve your marriage with Chai Shao, at that time you only said some secondary reasons, but there was a major reason that you didn't say, can you tell me now?" ”

Hearing Li Xiu suddenly ask about the dissolution of the marriage, Princess Pingyang's face turned red at first, and then she sighed again and said: "This matter is related to my father, and as a daughter, I shouldn't mention this matter again, but since Captain Li wants to hear it, it doesn't hurt to tell you......"

With Princess Pingyang's narration, the secrets about Li Yuan's army also surfaced. In many historical books of later generations, Li Yuan's army was attributed to the persuasion of Li Shimin and Pei Lin and others, but this could not withstand scrutiny at all. You must know that rebellion is a big gamble that puts all your lives on the line, and the possibility of success is not enough in case, if Li Yuan does not have a rebellion, I am afraid that even if others say something about it, he will not be tempted.

In fact, when Li Yuan saw the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he had already had a rebellion, and began to secretly develop his forces when he was punctual, making preparations for rebellion, at that time Li Shimin and Pei Lin and others were all Li Yuan's assistants, but when Li Yuan was not ready, the news of his rebellion was learned by Gao Junya and Wang Wei, the deputy guards of Taiyuan at that time, and as a result, these two people reported the news of his preparation for rebellion to the imperial court while guarding against Li Yuan, hoping to strangle Li Yuan in the cradle.

However, Li Yuan also has a lot of connections in the court, and Wang Wei and the others reported that he rebelled because he learned in advance, in order to resolve this crisis, he bribed the officials around Yang Guang to speak for him with a lot of money, and at the same time tried to show the court that he had no dissent.

"Captain Li, do you know how my father showed that he had no dissent?" When she said this, Princess Pingyang suddenly stopped and asked Li Xiu next to her.

"This ...... Is it related to princesses? Li Xiu vaguely guessed something at this time, but he still asked with some uncertainty.

"Yes, at that time, in order to show his loyalty, my father sent countless treasures to Yang Guang, even his most beloved BMW, but this was far from enough, so in this case, I didn't know anything about my father's preparation for rebellion, so I was sent to Chang'an to marry Chai Shao!"

When Princess Pingyang said this, she also showed a sad look on her face, she was the only daughter of Queen Dou and Li Yuan's most favored daughter, even she was sent to Chang'an to marry Chai Shao, although Yang Guang was not in Chang'an, but Chang'an was still the capital of the Great Sui, so she was almost a hostage in disguise, so she could naturally dispel some of Yang Guang's suspicions.

"How can Your Majesty be like this! Wouldn't this put you in the enemy camp, princess! Li Xiu couldn't help but say angrily when he heard this, he really couldn't understand Li Yuan's mentality, could he really give up his loved ones for the sake of the world?

"I can't blame my father and the emperor, if he didn't dispel the court's suspicion of him at that time, maybe a holy decree would wipe out our Li family, in order to protect the clan, it is worth sacrificing me, not to mention that my father also made careful arrangements afterwards, trying to ensure that we can escape." Although Princess Pingyang has some doubts about this matter, she still understands her father very well, and has never blamed him, and now she is even more helpful in helping him speak.

"This ......" Hearing Princess Pingyang's words, Li Xiu didn't know how to say it for a while, and after a while, he shook his head helplessly, this kind of thing really can't tell whether it's right or wrong, but he suddenly said with some doubts, "But what does this matter have to do with Chai Shao?" ”

"Captain Li, don't worry, I'm going to talk about Chai Shao, or the Chai family." Princess Pingyang spoke again, and her expression was very calm when she spoke. (To be continued.) )
