Chai Shao left angrily, but he didn't go far before he was stopped by an attendant, and then the attendant whispered a few words, Chai Shao's face immediately turned to anger, and immediately followed the attendant to the hall next to the square.

I saw that the hall was also full of lanterns, Princess Pingyang was sitting on the couch, and Li Yuan was sitting next to her to chat with her beloved daughter, a very warm picture. It's just that when Princess Pingyang saw Chai Shao coming in, her face immediately changed, the last thing she wanted to see was this person, but thinking of her father's good intentions, she couldn't help but sigh secretly and didn't say anything.

"The son of the emperor to meet his father!" After Chai Shao came in, he immediately saluted Li Yuan, and then asked Princess Pingyang with a concerned face: "Sanniang, how is your body, is the injury still serious?" ”

Princess Pingyang didn't want to deal with Chai Shao, but seeing her father's earnest eyes, this also made her heart soften, and finally said coldly: "I'm fine!" ”

Seeing that his daughter finally spoke to Chai Shao, Li Yuan couldn't help laughing happily, and immediately beckoned Chai Shao to sit beside him and said: "Sichang, you come and sit next to me, it's rare for our family to get together, take this opportunity to have a good chat, and say any misunderstandings and grievances before, so as not to hurt your body in your heart!" ”

Li Yuan made it clear that he wanted to help his daughter and son-in-law make peace, Chai Shao was also overjoyed when he heard this, and he just wanted to say something, but at this time, Princess Pingyang suddenly interrupted him and said: "Father, the son is a little tired, I want to go back and rest!" ”

Hearing Princess Pingyang say this, Li Yuan also knew that he was a little too anxious, and immediately signaled Chai Shao not to speak, and then persuaded with a smile: "Sanniang, it's still early, the guests outside are talking lively, if you go back first as the host, wouldn't it be a waste of the guests' interest, it just so happens that I am also a little hungry, why don't you let people prepare something to eat, how about our family chatting while eating?" ”

For her father's request, Princess Pingyang couldn't bear to refuse, so she finally nodded, and then ordered her subordinates to prepare for food, but then she didn't say a word to Chai Shao, which made Li Yuan quite helpless.

After a while, the servants of the princess's courtyard brought the prepared food, but when Li Yuan saw the contents of the bowl, he couldn't help but ask with some surprise: "What is this, why have I never seen it?" ”

Princess Pingyang was also stunned when she saw the things in the bowl, and saw a few round white balls floating in the clear soup in the bowl, which looked very cute, but it was the first time she saw this thing, and she couldn't help but look at the maid next to her.

"Your Majesty, princess, the people in the kitchen said that this is called Lantern Festival, and Ma Ye said that it is very suitable for the princess's taste, so I told the kitchen that if the princess wants to eat, let them cook this Lantern Festival!" The maid hurriedly replied.

"Lantern Festival? This name is really appropriate, and it was brought back by Ma Sanbao, let's try it together! Li Yuan couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

Princess Pingyang heard that Ma Ye specially told her to make it, and she couldn't help but be moved, and immediately put a lantern festival to her mouth and took a bite, and the smooth and sweet juice flowed out of it, coupled with the soft and sticky glutinous rice skin, it did have a unique flavor to eat.

"It tastes good, and Ma Sanbao can be regarded as having a heart!" After Li Yuan tasted it, he couldn't help but nod his head in admiration, and then he instructed Princess Pingyang's maid, "Let people go and make more, and give everyone Aiqing outside a taste!" ”

Hearing Li Yuan's order, Princess Pingyang's maid was embarrassed, and after a while, she spoke: "Your Majesty, the slave maid heard from the people in the kitchen that the Lantern Festival was brought by Ma Ye from Captain Li's house, and originally I just wanted the princess to taste it, so the number is very small, I'm afraid it will ......."

The maid didn't say anything, and Li Yuan also understood what she meant, but he asked Princess Pingyang with some curiosity at this time: "Sanniang, the captain Li that the maid said about it, but the Li Xiu who healed your injuries in Gyeongju before?" ”

"Qiqi father, it is Li Xiu, his family originally lived next to the courtyard, and Uncle Ma only met him by chance, and thanks to this, he saved his daughter's life!" When Princess Pingyang mentioned Li Xiu, she also seemed quite happy.

On the way back before, Li Xiu was always in charge of her diet, but in just a few days, her appetite was raised, and after she came back, she thought that she would never be able to eat the food cooked by Li Xiu again, but she didn't expect him to send some Lantern Festival, no wonder it suited her appetite so much.

However, compared to Princess Pingyang's happiness, Chai Shao next to him scolded secretly: Why is it Li Xiu again, this kid is like a ghost, and he can hear his things wherever he goes. What made Chai Shao even more angry was that the originally cold Princess Pingyang rarely smiled when she mentioned Li Xiu, although this didn't mean anything, but it still made him jealous, after all, he was Pingyang's husband!

"Well, this Li Xiu's medical skills are good, but he is a little impulsive, and he will polish it well in the future, but he can't use it!" Li Yuan naturally heard his daughter's admiration for Li Xiu, although he knew that Li Xiu had beaten Chai Shao, but it was not easy to refute his daughter's face, so he said something ambiguous.

"Your Majesty, speaking of that Captain Li, just now the minister happened to meet him at the lantern festival outside, he has a life-saving grace for Sanniang, why don't you go and see him?" At this time, Chai Shao suddenly spoke, but when he said these words, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, with Princess Pingyang to protect him, he really didn't dare to take Li Xiu seriously, but there are many ways to retaliate against a person, and some methods are more cruel than killing a person directly.

"Oh? He's here too? Li Yuan was also a little surprised when he heard this, after all, today's guests were all invited by him, but he immediately thought of the reason, and said with a smile, "I understand, since Ma Sanbao has a good relationship with that Li Xiu, and he is Sanniang's life-saving benefactor, he will naturally invite him over." ”

When he said this, he saw Li Yuan glance at Princess Pingyang, and then said with some emotion: "Speaking of which, among these children of mine, the one I feel most indebted to is Sanniang, other women at your age are at home when they are raising their husbands and children, but Sanniang, you are fighting for the imperial court, and even almost lost your life on the battlefield, this Li Xiu can save your life, I am a father, I should indeed see him in person!" ”

Li Yuan said it sincerely, and Princess Pingyang was also deeply moved, but Chai Shao sneered in his heart, as long as Li Yuan was willing to see Li Xiu, then he had already succeeded for the most part.

Perhaps in order to show his sincerity, Li Yuan did not let Li Xiu be called into the hall, but went out of the hall to see Li Xiu in person, which showed that he was thanking each other as a father.

Li Xiu was chatting with Ma Ye at this time, holding a stack of handkerchiefs in his hand, because he couldn't stuff it in his arms, so he had to hold it in his hand. But at this moment, I suddenly saw a commotion in the crowd in front of me, and then I saw the crowd retreating to both sides, and then a middle-aged man wearing a round-necked cardigan strode over, and Princess Pingyang's brocade couch could only follow behind, and looking at the appearance of the civil and military saluting on both sides, I didn't need to ask to know that this middle-aged man must be Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing Li Yuan walking towards this side, Ma Sanbao immediately pulled Li Xiu, and then stepped forward and saluted: "Minister Ma Sanbao greets Your Majesty!" ”

Li Xiu also saluted after Ma Sanbao, but with his identity, he was not qualified to report his identity at all, so he was so happy that he didn't speak, but what he didn't expect was that after Li Yuan helped Ma Sanbao up, he suddenly looked at him a few times and said, "You are the Li Xiu who healed Sanniang's injury?" ”

Hearing Li Yuan's question, Li Xiu was also stunned, but he reacted immediately, and said without humility or arrogance: "Your Majesty, Weichen is Li Xiu!" ”

Seeing Li Xiu as a concubine, he could deal with it calmly when he saw him, and he seemed extremely calm, which also surprised Li Yuan, and then his impression of Li Xiu also changed a little, it seems that this young man can get Ma Sanbao's attention, and he is indeed a little outstanding.

Many people around also nodded secretly, thinking that this young man was not simple, especially those girls who had given their love to Li Xiu before, and they were full of joy, hoping that he would be able to come to the door in a few days.

"Captain Li is really a young man of my Tang Dynasty, he has received so many things in one night, it seems that it won't be long before he can drink Captain Li's happy wine!" At this moment, he suddenly saw Chai Shao behind Li Yuan speak, which also made Li Yuan suddenly realize that Li Xiu was holding a stack of handkerchiefs in his hand, and it seemed that many aristocratic girls who came today also favored Li Xiu.

"Captain Li is a talent, and he has made great contributions to the imperial court, so it is not surprising that he is favored by women." Li Yuan said with a smile at this time, hearing his praise, those women and their families who took a fancy to Li Xiu were also even happier, feeling that they were indeed not wrong, but Ma Ye and Princess Pingyang had changed their faces greatly, but it was too late to stop them at this time.

"Hehe, Captain Li was originally the son of General Li Jing, the Duke of Yongkang County, and he was indeed born with a talent, but Chai heard that more than a year ago, Li Xiu once fell in love with a little nun, and the other party died because of him, as a result, he had a big quarrel with General Li and left the house, he is really an infatuated person, and now seeing Captain Li accept so many things that are in love, he must have come out of the original love injury, right?" Chai Shao's face suddenly changed, and his expression was cold.

What Chai Shao wants is this opportunity, to be able to expose Li Xiu's true identity in front of Li Yuan and others, if he usually does this, it will have no effect, but before Li Xiu was at least burdened with a name of infatuation, but now he is holding a lot of women to give him love things, this huge contrast is enough to make people think that he is a sanctimonious hypocrite, and then his reputation will be completely ruined, no matter how he explains it, it is useless, it can be said that Li Xiu has been forced to a dead end at this time.
