The emperor was going to tour Luoyang eastward, and when he heard the news, Xie Yi was slightly surprised.

However, when he learned the purpose of going to Luoyang, Xie Yi suddenly realized that it was the invitation of His Royal Highness the King of Wei.

So, what should I do?

Follow the emperor to Luoyang? It is estimated that Li Tai will have the urge to kill himself, and if he stays in Chang'an, he will have to face the crown prince Li Chengqian, who is in prison, in short, there is no right or wrong.

So, it's best to stay away.

Du Xijun's proposal gave Xie Yi a good excuse to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and after giving birth to two sons, he had to go back to his hometown to inform his ancestors, right?

Moreover, moving the graves of Du Xijun's parents is also a big deal. It's just that when this matter was made public, he had to trouble Du Xijun to go to Chenzhou as well, after all, Xie Yi was nominally helping his sister-in-law move his mother's grave, if Xie Yi came forward directly, it would be somewhat inappropriate, although it was the de facto mother-in-law, but nominally he had to avoid it.

Xie Yi was afraid that Du Xijun's body would not recover well after giving birth, but after Sun Simiao's diagnosis, he thought it was harmless, as long as it was not too hard.

Therefore, Xie Yi ordered someone to arrange a boat, take a boat from Chang'an to the Yellow River through the Cao Canal, and then go south along the Grand Canal after arriving in Luoyang. The waterway is stable, and you can avoid a lot of fatigue along the way.

Xie Yi asked, and Li Shimin agreed, maybe Xie Yi's low-key is exactly the situation that His Majesty Li Er wants to see. All in all, it is absolutely right to stay away from the two capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang, and away from the struggle of the princes.

The two sons were too young to take home, so they could only leave Zheng Liwan and Wu Meiniang to take care of the children, and Xie Yi accompanied Du Xijun back to his hometown alone.

Before leaving, Xie Yi sent the family to the Rimchuan villa, leaving the snow guards behind, and then took Kan Ling and Yebei to leave Chang'an by boat.

Xie Yi left early, and chose to leave before the emperor's royal car. Otherwise, the trip from Chang'an to Luoyang does not know what the delay will be.

From Chang'an to Luoyang, it is almost downstream, and it is fast to arrive by boat, but it will take a few days to arrive. When you arrive in a metropolis like Luoyang, you have to delay for two days, and it is one thing to buy some items, and the Xie family still has a lot of business here, so you have to go and see it.

After everything was in order, before the arrival of the emperor's holy car, Xie Yi and Du Xijun took a boat again and headed south along the Grand Canal.

There was no rush on this trip. So it was a bit of a sightseeing trip, and Xie Yi simply slowed down his trip. Watch the scenery on both sides of the strait on the boat every day, and there are beautiful people around you at night.

Du Xijun, who was the only one who accompanied him, naturally had to work harder, waiting for the living of Lord Xie, but he also took a lot of advantage, and he was completely the favorite of the special room along the way.

So much so that Du Xijun said a little apologetically: "I knew that the family should go back to Chenzhou......"

"What? Do you miss your son? Or are you afraid that Liwan and Mei Niang will be jealous? Xie Yi asked with a smile, quite funny.

Du Xijun said shyly: "Naturally, I miss my children, but it doesn't hurt to have Liwan and Mei Niang to take care of them; You've been gone for a few months. They have to stay alone in the empty room......"

"The children are too young, and now it's the height of summer, how dare you toss them? I had no choice but to leave Liwan. Because it is an ancestor worship, it is not easy for wives to bring concubines if they don't do the same, and Mei Niang naturally can't go along. ”

Xie Yi sighed helplessly: "But fortunately, there are still you, otherwise it would be called lonely and lonely along the way......"

"That's it. This life is the life of being bullied by you! Du Xijun leaned beside Xie Yi and sighed softly.

Xie Yi smiled: "As early as when I was in Huaiyang, I wanted to bully you." It's a pity that I never had the chance...... This revisit to the old place just makes up for this regret. ”

"You......" Thinking of the bits and pieces in Huaiyang, Du Xijun bowed his head and said nothing, even if he had a child as a father, his face was still a little girlish shy.

Xie Yi said softly: "I still remember that night, the red candle was shining, and we were originally ...... It's a pity that I was disturbed by the sound of horses' hooves, and I have always regretted it, and I will make up for it this time. ”

"You are the ......" Du Xijun is a bird, and his voice is like a mosquito.

"And that broken house, that fire kang, I don't know if it's still ......"

"Hmmm......"

Hearing Xie Yi mention the past, Du Xijun's face became more and more red, and his voice became lower and lower.

Xie Yi looked at the delicate and beautiful woman and said with a smile: "What? are all old husbands and wives, but they are shy? Oh yes, I remember that you promised your grandmother that you would spread the branches for the Xie family, and now although you have Yu'er, it is still a little less. ”

"Saburo misses me...... Will you add a man and a woman to the Xie family these days? ”

"This is a good time to spoil you alone for your husband, but ...... Not long after you gave birth to Yu'er, your body is still a little weak, and you will raise it for another two years. ”

Xie Yi said softly: "What's more, if you are pregnant, won't your husband be able to watch but not eat...... Wouldn't you have to live the hard life in Huaiyang again? ”

"You, you're not serious......" Du Xijun's complaining words were not finished, and Sakura's lips were blocked.

As the night deepened, the boat swayed gently with the waves......

……

Emperor Li Shimin left Chang'an in late May because he needed to be protected by soldiers and horses along the way, although the royal family still traveled by land.

The weather is hot in May, so you can only hurry more in the morning and evening, and the journey will not be fast, so you must leave early, so as to rush to Chang'an before the death of Empress Changsun in mid-June.

I heard that the Luozhou Governor's Mansion has been prepared, and the Luoyang Palace and the Wei Wangchi of His Royal Highness King Wei have been cleaned and repaired, just waiting for the royal family to move in.

The stone statue of Binyang Cave has also been carved and the nearby road is being repaired so that the emperor and his princes can visit and pay their respects.

Before leaving, the crown prince Li Chengqian, the king of Jin Li Zhi and others went to Baqiao to see them off as usual, and the eldest grandson Wuji and Cen Wenwen and others were left behind to assist, and Fang Xuanling drove with him as usual.

Slightly different from the situation of the last eastern tour, Li Shimin brought a few concubines this time, and because of Li Ke, Concubine Yang was able to go with him. Li Shimin also intended to let Concubine Yang go back to Luoyang Palace to see, as a princess of the Sui Dynasty, her childhood was spent there.

In addition, Concubine Yan and several young concubines were able to accompany her, Concubine Wei couldn't leave because she was in charge of the backyard, and Concubine Yin didn't have that blessing to accompany her.

Among the royal children, the eldest grandson and queen are mainly accompanied by several children, and Princess Changle also appeared in the team, and because of this, the eldest grandson Chong was not allowed to accompany him. In addition to taking care of the royal family, he helped Li Shimin with some things by the way, and the eldest grandson Wuji was naturally happy to see it happen.

In this way, the crown prince Li Chengqian led the prince and the ministers to send His Majesty the Emperor out of Chang'an and went to the eastern capital Luoyang to visit the fortification. At this time, it has only been three or four years since the last eastern tour, so this eastern tour by His Majesty the Emperor is somewhat of a revisit. (To be continued.) )
