The ancients said that "homesickness is timid", but Li Xiu did not feel this way at all, but only felt very excited, he had just learned to ride a horse, and galloped like a joyful horse, leaving Princess Pingyang's team far behind, but looking at his staggering appearance on horseback, many soldiers of the women's army behind him sweated for him, worried that he would accidentally fall off and be trampled to death by the horse.

"Sister Yuechan, the year has passed, when do you say he will come back?" In Li Xiu's yard, Liu Er slapped the quilt with a stick and asked Yuechan, who was doing the laundry, that the weather was good today, so they took out all the bedding at home to dry, and all the clothes that should be washed were washed.

"Come on, didn't Uncle Liu say that the capital is spreading that the Turks have withdrawn, as long as the Turks retreat, it is estimated that the master will come back." Yuechan laboriously wrung out a piece of clothing, raised her hand and wiped the sweat on her forehead with her wrist, and by the way, she stroked the junior who wanted to step forward to make trouble.

Last time, Ma Ye kidnapped Li Xiu like a robber, which frightened them, and they wanted to report to the official, but then someone from the princess's mansion explained, and they understood what happened, and they all stayed at home at ease during this time, but Liu Er talked about Li Xiu's safety from time to time, although their master and servant did not get along for a long time, but it is rare to see such a kind master as Li Xiu.

"Phew!" As soon as Yuechan's words fell, she suddenly heard a violent sound from the gate, and a horse broke through the gate and rushed in, and then saw the knight on the horse coughing in embarrassment, "Ahem~, why didn't this broken horse obey the call, let you stop you but gave me an acceleration, who killed you?" ”

"Sir!" Hearing the familiar voice immediately, Liu Er was the first to react, waving the wooden stick in her hand to meet her. Li Xiu stepped off the horse was already shocked by his "amazing riding skills", otherwise he would not have directly smashed the gate, and now he saw a little girl waving a wooden stick rushing towards him, the horse was frightened again, and with a long neigh, his front hooves jumped up and was one person high, and suddenly lifted Li Xiu off the horse's back, and then turned the horse's head and escaped.

"Ouch~, my waist!" Li Xiu was thrown to the ground on his back, almost hurting his waist, fortunately the young man's bones were tough, so he didn't break the bones, but this also gave him a hard lesson, and swore in his heart that he must practice his riding skills well, if he didn't practice well, he would slaughter and eat the horse just now!

"How are you, sir, are you hurt?" Liu Er was also taken aback by the sudden change, and when she reacted, she hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Xiu up and asked with concern.

"It's okay, master, I was so happy just now, I didn't control the horse, Liu'er, you have to believe it, it's just an accident, don't tell others, you know!" The first thing Li Xiu did when he stood up was to tell Liu'er not to talk nonsense, it was too embarrassing just now, fortunately there were no outsiders here, just tell Liu'er and Yuechan not to talk nonsense.

"Mmmm~, Liu Er knows that even the Turks have been defeated by the master, so this time it must be an accident!" Liu Er also nodded her little head like a chicken eating rice, and she didn't know whether to believe it or not.

"The slave has seen the master!" At this time, Yuechan also saluted Li Xiu with a smile at this time, she didn't expect Li Xiu to give them such a big "surprise" as soon as she entered the house.

"No need to be polite, huh? What about the junior? Li Xiu suddenly asked at this time, during those days in the barracks, what he missed the most was Xiao San, although it couldn't speak, but it was very intimate when he accompanied him, especially when he would rather be hungry than eat the extremely unpalatable meals in the barracks, and he missed the fat Xiao San a lot.

"I was still here just now, why did I disappear in a blink of an eye?" Yuechan also said a little strangely at this time, when she was washing clothes just now, Xiao San always came up to make trouble, but now she can't find it.

"Woo~" At this moment, I suddenly only heard a whining sound from Xiao San, and then I saw a small black head poking out from the crack in the door of the living room, and when I saw that it was really Li Xiu outside, I jumped out happily, spread out four little fat legs and ran towards Li Xiu, it turned out that it was frightened and hid by Li Xiu's behavior of breaking into the door just now.

"Haha, I've gained so much weight in just a new year, and if I eat it again, I'll become a pig!" Li Xiu hugged Xiao San and said affectionately, and then he suddenly thought of something, and then his face changed and asked Liu Er, "Liu Er, Xiao San hasn't fallen into the toilet these days, right?" ”

"No, no, the slave and maid watch very closely, and the mistress is also very smart, and he hasn't been near the toilet since the last time." Liu Er hurriedly waved her hand and said, in the days when Li Xiu was away, she had always taken care of Xiao San.

"That's good, you two prepare the bath water first, I still have to go to the princess's courtyard, and I'll take a shower when I come back!" Li Xiu immediately commanded, hugged Xiao San and went out. There was no condition to take a bath in the barracks, and on the way back, I took a bath in the post house in Ningzhou, but not only did there be no soap in the post house, but there was no pancreas, so it couldn't be washed at all, so the first thing Li Xiu did when he went home was to ask Yuechan and them to prepare bath water.

In front of Li Xiu's house is a small river, across the river is the Li family Zhuangzi, a big road just passed next to the Li family Zhuangzi, and this road is leading to the princess's courtyard, just now he threw off the army and ran back first, when he came to the side of the road, just saw the princess's convoy slowly coming.

Li Xiu rode a military horse before, and he would return to the team after running away, Li Xiu saw his disobedient horse at a glance, and immediately stepped forward and turned over on the horse again, he also learned to ride a horse with Ma Ye on the way back, but he could only jog, and there was still a considerable gap from the horse charge.

"Is that Captain Li's home?" At this time, Princess Pingyang opened the car window, looked at the riverside courtyard a hundred steps away and asked Li Xiu, although it was a neighbor, Princess Pingyang really hadn't paid attention to Li Xiu's side before.

"Yes, although the yard is not big, it is still very comfortable to live alone!" Li Xiu replied with a smile on his horse, but the junior in his arms screamed twice at this time, as if to remind Li Xiu that he was also a member of the family.

"Giggle~, this puppy in Captain Li's arms is very cute, did you raise it?" Princess Pingyang also noticed Xiao San at this time, and smiled with some surprise at the moment, Xiao San takes a bath almost every day, so he looks clean, and he is fat, and he looks like a small black ball of meat, this kind of fluffy little thing almost kills women, and Princess Pingyang is no exception.

"It's called Xiao San, it's quite a naughty little guy, if the princess is bored, she can also have a pet to relieve boredom!" Li Xiu suggested with a smile.

"Forget it, I prefer to raise flowers and plants in comparison, if I raise a naughty little guy, it will have to spoil all my flowers and plants." Princess Pingyang thought about it for a while but still shook her head and said, she is actually a very quiet woman without armor, and usually fiddling with flowers and plants is her biggest hobby.

When Li Xiu heard this, he suddenly remembered the first greenhouse he built, which was to raise flowers and plants for Princess Pingyang, and said with a smile: "Haha, I forgot about the princess's hobby, but the princess, you have to thank me!" ”

"Thanks? Thank you for what? Princess Pingyang was confused at this time.

"Huh? Didn't Uncle Ma tell you? Li Xiu was stunned for a moment and asked again.

"Tell me what?" Princess Pingyang was even more puzzled, she didn't know what Li Xiu was talking about.

"I see, Uncle Ma is planning to surprise you!" Li Xiu suddenly understood at this time, when the greenhouse was built, he seemed to have heard Ma Ye say that he wanted to surprise the princess, and it is estimated that he never told Princess Pingyang about the greenhouse when he was in Gyeongju.

"Surprise? What a surprise, Li Xiu, tell me quickly! Princess Pingyang was also a little anxious at this time.

"Hehe, princess, wait patiently, since Uncle Ma is not here, then I will help him give this surprise to you, if you know in advance, it will not be a surprise!" Li Xiu deliberately sold Guan Zidao at this time, if Princess Pingyang saw that the flowers and plants she liked were still green, she didn't know how happy she would be?

Seeing that Li Xiu didn't say anything, Princess Pingyang was also a little helpless, and the convoy was about to arrive at her courtyard, but at this time, Princess Pingyang suddenly found that on a piece of cultivated land in the east of the courtyard, strange "houses" had been built, and the reason why these houses were strange was because the walls of these houses were of different heights, and the roofs above looked like horses of silk, which was also a little too extravagant.

"Li Xiu, what are those houses for?" Princess Pingyang immediately asked, although Li Xiu was not from the princess's mansion, her intuition told her that Li Xiu must know the purpose of these strange houses.

"Hehe, this is also a secret, you will know it later, princess!" Of course, Li Xiu couldn't tell the princess that those were greenhouses now, otherwise Princess Pingyang would immediately guess what the so-called surprise was.

The convoy soon came to the gate of the annex, and Princess Pingyang's carriage led the way to the courtyard, and the rest of the matter was naturally handled by others. Li Xiu also followed the princess's carriage into the courtyard, and came all the way to the inner house, where men were not allowed to enter, but Princess Pingyang thought of the surprise in Li Xiu's words, so she didn't let Li Xiu leave.

When Princess Pingyang got out of the carriage, Li Xiu didn't let her go back to her room to rest, but asked a few female guards to carry her to the garden next to her. Princess Pingyang only then discovered that there was also a strange house in her garden. At this time, I saw Li Xiu come to the door of the house, and then turned his head and smiled at her: "Princess, please look, the surprise prepared for you is here!" ”
