Chapter 470: What's Written in the Letter?

The weather is getting hotter, Jin'er is getting bigger and bigger, everyone knows that children who are about one year old are the most careful time, because at this time, although the little guy can't walk, but he already has the desire to walk, and he usually doesn't like to be held, he has to go down by himself, but they can't walk, they can only be led by adults bending over, and he has to follow adults wherever he goes, and he can simply exhaust people to death at the end of the day.

But even so, Princess Pingyang still took advantage of Jin'er's sleep to make a summer dress for Li Yuan with her own hands, she wanted to take time out to send it to her father, but Li Xiu volunteered to enter the palace in the name of sending clothes to Li Yuan.

With Li Shimin's ascension to the throne, and the throne is becoming more and more stable, his defense of Li Yuan is getting lower and lower, only Li Xiu and his wife, and Pei Lin can see Li Yuan before, but now there are some other old ministers who can see Li Yuan, and they don't have to go through Li Shimin's consent in advance, but when they enter Da'an Palace, these people need to go through a strict search, so as not to let someone carry something that should not be carried.

Li Xiu's identity is special, and the guards of Da'an Palace also know him, so when he enters and exits Da'an Palace, the guards mean it, just search him casually, as for the gift given to Li Yuan by Princess Pingyang, they didn't dare to move, let alone them, even Li Shimin didn't dare to move, so no one found out that there was a letter in the clothes that Princess Pingyang gave to Li Yuan.

Li Xiu entered the Da'an Palace very smoothly, and then, like the previous times, walked through the zigzag corridor on the water, and then saw Li Yuan on a wooden platform, which has become his Diaoyu Tai, and most of the time every day is spent here by Li Yuan, so when Li Xiu comes to find him, he doesn't need to go to other places at all, and he will definitely see him when he comes here.

"Your Majesty!" Li Xiu came here and saluted Li Yuanshen.

"Haha~, you came just in time, you always fish the fish below are fine, and none of them are willing to take the bait, let's kill a few games today, let me see if your chess skills have improved?" When Li Yuan saw Li Xiu, he immediately threw down his fishing rod and laughed.

Li Yuan was sent to Da'an Palace and couldn't go out, usually there was nothing to do except fishing, and only when Li Xiu or Pei Lin came to visit him, he could accompany him to play a few games of chess, but Li Xiu didn't know how to play Go, so he played chess with Li Yuan, the chess of the Tang Dynasty was different from that of later generations, Li Xiu got out of the chess of later generations, which was able to accompany Li Yuan to play a few games, but after playing a few times, Li Yuan's chess power rose sharply, and every time he could kill Li Xiu was a defeat.

Li Xiu didn't want to be abused by Li Yuan anymore, but seeing the other party's high interest, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he could only let people bring the chessboard, and the two sides sat at both ends of the chessboard, chatting while playing chess, only to see that at this time Li Yuan took the lead in speaking: "Li Xiu, did you come today again from Pingyang to let you send something?" ”

"Ahem~, Pingyang made a dress and asked me to send it to His Majesty!" Li Xiu was also a little embarrassed when he heard this, and when he heard Li Yuan's words, he suddenly realized that he came to Li Yuan, either to deliver something for Princess Pingyang, or to accompany Pei Lian, and it seemed that he had never taken the initiative to come otherwise.

"Hehe, still Pingyang has a heart, but she has a child now, she must be very busy, she has made a lot of clothes for me before, enough for me to wear for several years, so there is no need to make clothes for me anymore, usually rest more, don't be tired because of the child!" Li Yuan didn't mean to blame Li Xiu, but instead admonished him with a gentle face.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, I will definitely tell Xiuning when I go back!" Li Xiu nodded at this time.

After Li Xiu finished speaking, he immediately asked the people around him to retreat, he was Li Yuan's son-in-law, and he could be regarded as half of the master here, so although the surrounding palace maids and chamberlains hesitated, they finally retreated.

Seeing that only himself and Li Yuan were left around, Li Xiu picked up the tray with clothes next to him, and personally handed it to Li Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, this is the clothes Xiuning made for you, please try it and see if it fits?" ”

Li Yuan saw that Li Xiu made the decision to let the people around him retreat, although he was also a little surprised, but he didn't stop it, and then he saw that Li Xiu actually asked him to try on clothes on the spot, which made him feel very strange, but he still didn't speak, but took the tray and put it in front of him, and then he was ready to pick up the clothes.

However, as soon as Li Yuan opened the folded clothes, he immediately saw a letter hidden in the clothes, and when he saw the four words "Father and Emperor Enlightenment" on the letter, Li Yuan couldn't help but tremble, and tears welled up at once, because he recognized it at a glance, and the words on the letter were from his son Li Yuanji.

Seeing this letter sent by his son who was far away in the Americas, Li Yuan's whole body trembled with excitement, and a few tears also dripped down, and finally fell on the envelope.

Li Xiu sat opposite Li Yuan, and couldn't see the content of the letter at all, but he found that the letter was only two pieces of paper, and it seemed that the content should not be much, when Li Yuan first saw the handwriting on the letter, the whole person was more excited, and his body trembled even more, but after reading a paragraph, he began to slowly calm down, and finally when he finished reading the letter, the whole person's face became very calm, if it weren't for the tears on his face, I'm afraid no one would have guessed that he had shed tears just now.

I saw Li Yuan holding the letter and pondering for a while, and finally suddenly crumpled the letter paper and the envelope, then threw it into his mouth and chewed it, and then suddenly tilted his neck and swallowed the letter directly.

"Li Xiu, thank you for sending Yuanji's letter, but if he has any more letters in the future, you will destroy it directly, and you don't have to send it to me again!" I saw Li Yuan's face indifferently and instructed Li Xiu.

"This ......" Li Xiu didn't expect Li Yuan to react like this after reading the letter, but since Li Yuan said so, it was not easy for him to refuse, after all, he also needed to take a big risk to help Li Yuanji deliver the letter, so he finally nodded and said, "Yes, the minister obeys!" ”

"Okay, don't disturb our mood of playing chess because of these mundane things, I'm a sunspot, then you're welcome, be the first gun!" Li Yuan had regained his composure at this time, and the tears on his face had dried up, as if what had just happened at all.

Li Xiu saw that Li Yuan was still in the mood to play chess after reading the letter, and he couldn't help but admire Li Yuan's strong psychological quality at the moment, and he could only cheer up and play chess with Li Yuan at the moment.

Although Xiangqi was taught to Li Yuan by Li Xiu, his chess skills were very ordinary, and after Li Yuan became familiar with the rules of the new chess, he quickly threw Li Xiu out of a big section, and Li Xiu lost badly every time he played chess.

But today is also strange, Li Yuan and Li Xiu played three games in a row, but they lost more and won less, Li Xiu also keenly found that Li Yuan seemed a little absent-minded when playing chess, it seems that he was not completely unconcerned about Li Yuanji's letter, which also made Li Xiu a little curious about the content of the letter, and even regretted why he didn't take a peek before?

Li Yuan not only seemed a little absent-minded, but also a little impetuous, not only made a few wrong moves, but even made a low-level mistake like Ma Xiangtian once or twice, and finally Li Yuan simply pushed the chessboard, stood up and said: "Forget it, I am not in a state today, and I will fight with you later!" ”

"The minister is retiring, and Your Majesty must take care of your body!" Li Xiu also felt that today's chess game was awkward, and when he heard Li Yuan's words, he also took the opportunity to leave, and Li Yuan did not keep it, and only after Li Xiu left Li Yuan's sight did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Xiu still regretted a little bit just now that he didn't peek at Li Yuanji's letter, but now that he thinks about it, he can make Li Yuan, who is very deep in the city, become so impetuous, the things on the letter must be very important, if he reads the content of the letter, I'm afraid I won't want to fall asleep tonight, sometimes ignorance is also a blessing.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a little lucky, and the letter had already been eaten by Li Yuan, so he didn't worry about being known by Li Shimin, which also made him feel more relaxed. Since receiving Li Yuanji's letter, he has been hesitant whether to hand it over to Li Yuan, and finally decided to help Li Yuanji, after all, this is a letter written by a son who is far away from the world to his father, Li Xiu really can't bear to destroy it, and now he has finally completely let go of this burden.

A few days later, the martial law in Chang'an City was finally lifted, and the Western Turkic mission also entered Beijing to meet Li Shimin for the first time, and then the news of the marriage between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks came out, and the princess who was close to him had also been selected, which was the daughter of Li Daozong's younger brother Li Daoli.

However, as soon as the news of Heqin was confirmed, there was movement on Jieli's side, and an Eastern Turkic army suddenly went south and occupied Shazhou and Yangguan outside Yumen Pass, so that the connection between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks was also broken at once, and if you want to send Heqin's team to the Western Turks, you must pass through the blockade of the Jieli army.

In the face of this situation, Li Shimin also expressed his concern for the safety of the princess to the Western Turkic Mission, and then asked the Western Turks to remove the threat of Jieli before they were willing to send the princess to the Western Turks and relatives.

When Li Xiu heard the news that his marriage was canceled, he couldn't help laughing happily, hugging his two sons and kissing a few mouthfuls one after another, but what he didn't expect was that this good deed he did secretly caused him a big trouble!
