When I woke up the next day, it was noon again, Li Xuanba lifted the quilt, and suddenly remembered that the quilt was originally covered by Shizuka, and couldn't help but glance at the table.

In fact, he understood that at this hour, Shizuka must have left a long time ago.

After getting up, someone had already prepared water and towels, and the clean clothes were left to dry, Li Xuanba washed up, changed his clothes, and suddenly remembered something, so he walked to the basin and saw his face clearly through the clear water.

"No wonder Shizuka is so afraid of me." Li Xuanba looked at it for a long time and came to such a conclusion. It's been a few days since he woke up, and this is the first time Li Xuanba has paid attention to his appearance, but he was startled.

Li Xuanba in the water, with slightly dark skin, dry hair, haggard face, and extremely emaciated, it is easy to remind people of the word sharp-beaked monkey gills.

People who have been extraordinary since ancient times must have a strange appearance. Li Xuanba comforted himself.

In the next few days, Li Xuanba's life became very regular, going out for a stroll in the afternoon to learn about the customs of the Sui Dynasty, accompanied by Shizuka in the evening, learning the Sui Dynasty script, and then sleeping until noon the next day to get up to eat.

A horse-drawn carriage drove slowly down the street, and eight soldiers in armor, riding horses, protected the people in the carriage. The carriage is resplendent with a lifelike phoenix carved on the wood, and at the top of the carriage, a flag representing the royal family is inserted.

Li Xuanba sat at the window, watching the carriage leave, and the pedestrians on the side of the street knelt on the ground one after another, and did not dare to stand up until the carriage drove far away. After a while, everything was back to normal.

The empty second floor has become Li Xuanba's private room, and the owner of the restaurant dares to be angry and dare not speak, only hoping that Li Xuanba can finish the meal early and make room for other guests.

"In this carriage, it should be someone from the royal family, right?" Li Xuanba took a sip of tea and asked. The reason why he asked this was because according to what he had learned in the past few days, he knew that only people in the royal family were eligible to ride in a carriage carved with dragon and phoenix patterns.

Li Zhu and the others nodded at the same time, but they didn't know who was sitting in the carriage.

"Looking at their direction, it seems that they are heading towards the Li Mansion." Li Zhu looked at the window for a while and said.

"Could it be that I asked my father to be an official in Taiyuan?" Li Xuanba muttered in a low voice, not letting Li Zhu and them hear.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan and began to establish the Tang Dynasty. Li Xuanba only knew this, and he couldn't remember what year Li Yuan started the army.

"The master is not at home, the third son, do you want to go back and have a look?" Li Gou asked.

"With my mother here, why should I go back?" Li Xuanba said angrily, drinking tea by himself.

After a few days of shopping, Hedong County brought Li Xuanba less and less freshness, and now, he has begun to sit in a quiet place like a literati, drinking tea and chatting.

Restaurants, naturally, are not quiet places, but as soon as he came, it became extremely quiet.

Li Xuanba would come to this restaurant every day, not that he had a grudge against the boss, he believed that as long as he stayed here for a few more days, those diners would spread his changes to the ears of others, thus changing his impression in the eyes of others.

There are two girls in Guiyue Building, and they already dare to laugh with Li Xuanba, and the guests on the first floor will not be silent when Li Xuanba goes downstairs, everything is developing in a good direction.

Li Xuanba thought about it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to see a bright future.

"Third son, Madame, please go back and receive the order." Just as Li Xuanba was fantasizing, the housekeeper of the Li Mansion appeared on the second floor panting, interrupting Li Xuanba's thoughts.

"Isn't Madame at home? Why do you want me to go back and take orders? Li Xuanba said, but suddenly remembered what Wan said, so he asked with some fear: "Shouldn't you be looking for me?" ”

"Childe guessed right, Your Majesty is the one who sent the decree to Childe." The housekeeper wiped his sweat, and now in the weather, he can still sweat on his face, and this housekeeper is really hard.

Li Xuanba didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly drank the tea, and left with Li Zhu and the others, although the housekeeper was a little tired, he didn't dare to stay for a long time, and followed the three of them back.

The carriage stopped in front of the main gate of the Li Mansion, Wan Shi and his subordinates knelt in front of the door, the people in the carriage had not yet gotten off, the eight soldiers were still sitting on their horses, and the coachman was also sitting still. Since ancient times, only others have waited for the emperor, how can there be a reason for the emperor to wait for others? Li Xuanba was not in the house, so it was naturally impossible to announce the decree first.

Li Xuanba was unwell and couldn't go too quickly, Li Gou was afraid of annoying the person who announced the decree, so despite Li Xuanba's opposition, he carried him on his back and trotted all the way back to Li's mansion.

The emperor's decree is a matter of glorifying the lintel, so as soon as Li Xuanba arrived at the door, Wan asked him to kneel, but he did not intend to let the person who carried the decree into the mansion before announcing the decree, which was a little different from Li Xuanba's impression.

Kneeling on the ground, Li Xuanba glanced up, only to find that there was a father-in-law on the other side of the carriage, and the father-in-law saw Li Xuanba raise his head and coughed lightly, and Li Xuanba immediately lowered his head.

The father-in-law whispered something to the people in the carriage, and the carriage handed out the holy decree, and the father-in-law took it with both hands, got off the horse, stood in front of the carriage, and shouted sharply: "The emperor has a decree!" ”

The eight soldiers jumped from their horses at the same time and fell to their knees in a fluid and uniform movement. The coachman moved a little slowly, but after his father-in-law finished shouting, he knelt on the ground.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, I heard that Xuanba was sick, very sad, fortunately, I learned that Aiqing has recovered, I feel at ease, I haven't seen you for several months, I miss it very much, if Aiqing is fine, you can go back to the palace with the princess. Chin this. The father-in-law finished reading it sharply, carefully closed the decree, and said with a smile: "Zhongyongwei, please accept the decree." ”

Although Li Xuanba didn't know what kind of official Zhongyongwei was, he understood that his father-in-law was calling himself, so he hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, took the holy decree from his father-in-law, and did not dare to open it, and handed it to Wan, who turned around and gave it to the woman beside her. The woman took the decree carefully, bowed half-bowed, and retreated to the house to offer the decree.

"My father-in-law has worked hard all the way." Wan Shi walked up to his father-in-law with a smile, and quietly put a piece of silver into the father-in-law's hand, and the father-in-law was also skilled in stuffing the silver into the cuffs, but his mouth said that he would do things for the court and His Majesty, and he didn't feel hard.

"Wan Shi meets the princess." After greeting his father-in-law, Wan knelt down on the side of the carriage and saluted. Li Xuanba had just stood up, and when he saw Wan kneeling, he had to kneel on the ground again.

"The loyal guard only kneels to heaven and earth, didn't Madame tell him?" The curtain of the car was lifted, and a palace maid helped the princess out, and the father-in-law hurriedly took out the pedal from the front of the car and set it up.

The princess's voice was very good, like a heavenly sound, ethereal with a hint of tactfulness.

Just the sound made Li Xuanba unbearable, and quietly raised his head to see the princess's face.

Li Xuanba peeked at the princess, but he didn't want the princess to be talking to Wan, but her eyes were staring at her.
