Yang Ling hid her thoughts and couldn't sleep all night, so when she learned that Li Xuanba hadn't woken up yet, she couldn't help but be angry, gritted her teeth, and couldn't wait for her father to give him dozens of sticks.

Li Xuanba chatted with Wan Shi for a long time last night, and after he went back, he read this book before going to sleep, so he naturally got up late. In order to avoid Yang Ling, Li Xuanba hid in the room to eat, and after eating, he secretly left the Li Mansion. Accompanying him are still Li Gou, who can't be idle, and Li Zhu, who can't move.

After Li Gou was kicked out of the room by Li Xuanba yesterday, he has been looking for Li Zhu, but Li Zhu has gone somewhere, and has not shown up until Li Xuanba has dinner, and Li Zhu has appeared out of nowhere. Li Gou felt very disgusted with Li Zhu's behavior, this kind of thing, obviously only he can do it, why should Li Zhu do it? Therefore, Li Gou did not give Li Zhu a good look along the way.

"I'm stupid and blame others." Li Xuanba discovered the subtle changes in Li Zhu and the others, and thought that after returning to the house yesterday, he had not seen Li Zhu, so he probably guessed the reason and sneered.

"Childe, since Your Majesty has made an order, you should go to Luoyang soon." Li Gou did not refute Li Xuanba's ridicule, but said with a hint of sadness: "I have been with you for so many days, and I am really a little reluctant. ”

"Last night, Madame said that she would keep the princess in the mansion for a few days, and before I left, I would at least see my father and them." Seeing that Li Gou was really moved, Li Xuanba stopped joking, and said seriously: "Besides, I went to Luoyang, do you think you two can hide?" ”

Li Xuanba's body has not yet recovered, and it is impossible for Wan to rest assured that he will go to Luoyang alone, thinking of this, Li Gou put away his sadness, sighed, and said quietly: "It's really sad in vain, it seems that I will live under your claws in the future." The two of them fought for a while, and then walked to the front of Guiyue Tower.

"The old rules." Li Xuanba sighed, and walked towards the restaurant after speaking, and Li Zhu followed him without saying a word.

Li Gou said angrily: "What do you think of me!" After speaking, he trotted and entered Guiyue Tower.

The father-in-law who announced the decree left early in the morning, and the eight soldiers came to escort the decree, so they naturally followed back to Luoyang. Yang Ling lost his temper for a while, and under the comfort of Qiushuang, he finally calmed down, wrapped himself into zongzi again, and went to eat with Wan's family.

"Auntie, is there really no way for him to be as brave as before?" After finishing the meal, Yang Ling asked.

"Doesn't the princess still believe the words of the imperial doctor?" Wan Shi shook his head and said, "Don't say it's like before, now it's difficult for him to even lift a table, and for fear that he will be sad, the master even put away his weapons." ”

If Li Xuanba really became a wasted person, would his status in his father's heart still be so important? She is already fourteen years old, and in two years, she will talk about marriage, will her father still mention the marriage that year?

Yang Ling suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his heart, hurriedly said goodbye, and went back to the room.

After a few days like this, Li Xuanba and Yang Ling did not meet until Li Yuan returned home.

Knowing that His Majesty had sent a decree to the Li Mansion, Li Yuan hurried back, Li Yuan came back only half a day, Li Jiancheng took a few brothers and also returned to the mansion, but Li Shimin did not come back.

"Let the princess wait for a long time, and hope that the princess will forgive her sins." When Li Yuan saw Yang Ling, he knelt on the ground, and Li Jiancheng and the others naturally knelt down as well.

"Uncle and you, please." Yang Ling helped Li Yuan up and said, "Uncle has worked hard for my Great Sui, but I can't reunite with my family from time to time, Yang Ling expresses my gratitude to my uncle and you on behalf of my father." ”

"Your Majesty's Sacred Heart is holy, but there are always villains who are troubled, and it is also the duty of Weichen to clean up for Your Majesty." Li Yuan said in a deep voice.

At this time, Li Xuanba had just come back from outside, and when he learned that Li Yuan and the others had returned home, he knew that there was no escape today, so he took the plunge and went to the lobby.

The people had already set up the meal, Yang Ling naturally sat in the first place, Li Yuan and Wan sat on the left and right, and Li Jiancheng and the others sat down in order of age.

"Shimin can't rush back to meet the princess when he is away, so Weichen sues him on his behalf." Li Yuan got up and gave the princess a look.

"If there are no outsiders, don't be polite to your uncle." Yang Ling said with a smile.

Li Yuan thanked him, and turned to Wan Shi and said, "Xuanba hasn't come back yet?" ”

"I've got people waiting at the door, and as soon as he comes back, he'll come straight here." Wan replied, "He didn't know you were coming back today, otherwise he wouldn't be running around outside so late." ”

"Mother, I'm back." As soon as Li Xuanba arrived at the door, he heard that Wan was saying good things for him, so he called out, walked into the lobby, first met the princess, and then met Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and others also stood up and saluted Li Xuanba,

This is the rule of the extended family.

Li Yuan saw that Li Xuanba was no longer in trouble, so he put his mind at ease, and did not mention the previous matter, said that he would eat first, and then sat down successively according to the eldest and youngest.

Li Xuanba only looked at Li Yuan and the others one by one at this time, and secretly said that the genes of the Li family are really good, but thinking of his appearance, he muttered a few words in his heart.

Li Yuan is nearly fifty years old, his face is cold and resolute, and his righteousness is awe-inspiring, although he changed into civilian clothes after returning home, he still makes people feel the breath of killing.

Li Jiancheng has twenty-five appearances, and he always has a smile on his face, like a humble gentleman.

Li Yuanji, Li Zhiyun and others are still young, and they only follow Li Jiancheng to mix some military exploits outside, and they can't smell a trace of blood.

I don't know if it's because of the princess or because of Li Xuanba, when eating, everyone is silent, and only when the servants serve the food or remove the plates, will there be a trace of noise.

In the end, it was the princess who spoke first: "Uncle, my father's will is to let Brother Xuanba return to the palace with me, but now it has been delayed for a few days, and Ling'er wants to return to Luoyang tomorrow." From the appearance of Li Xuanba, Yang Ling could not look at him, but the first thing he said at this time was about him.

Li Yuan put down the dishes and chopsticks, sat upright, and said: "The princess has been waiting for so many days in order to reunite our family, Weichen doesn't dare to stay any longer, everything is decided by the princess." ”

Yang Guang's holy decree said that if Li Xuanba was fine, he would return to the palace with Yang Ling, but everyone knew that as long as Li Xuanba could still breathe, he must follow the princess back to the palace.

Although Li Xuanba had not been here for a long time, he was not so simple that he didn't feel that he didn't need to go to Luoyang, so when he heard the conversation between Li Yuan and Yang Ling, his expression did not change in the slightest, and he still lowered his head to eat.

After eating, the princess went back to the house first. Not long after, Wan took Li Zhiyun and left the lobby. Li Zhiyun is Wan's biological son, and he hasn't seen him for a long time, so he naturally wants to talk together alone.

After Wan left, Li Yuan also stood up, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Xuanba, come to my room later, I have something to explain to you for my father." ”

"Yes." Li Xuanba stood up and said respectfully.

After all, the person in front of him is not only his father, but also the future Tang Gaozu.

"Third brother, are you alright?" After Li Yuan left, Li Jiancheng finally mustered up the courage to ask.

"Isn't it just that I'm sick, it's not a big deal." Li Xuanba replied with a smile. The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, as for what was in their hearts, only they knew.
