Cheng Yanjin hurriedly said to Xue Dingshan: "Dingshan, don't hurry up and thank your uncle." Xu Maogong smiled and said, "Fourth brother, what are you doing here?" ”

Xue Dingshan hurriedly knelt down in the dust, and Shi Dali said, "Thank you for your grace." Li Shimin said: "Let's be flat." When Li Jie was trapped in Yumen Pass, he once sent people to the capital to ask for help. It was my momentary negligence, and I didn't expect the Turkic soldiers to enter the Yumen Pass so quickly, and the dispatch of troops was delayed for a few days. As a result, the rescuers did not have time to arrive in time, Yumen Pass was broken by Wang Buchao, and Li Jie and his wife sacrificed their lives for the country. I have always felt guilty about the death of Mr. and Mrs. Li Jie. Today, I can make up for it a little, and I have also realized a matter on my mind. ”

As he spoke, the waiter who went out came in with a yellow satin bag in the ink silk. He bowed down and said, "Holy Lord, the things have been fetched." ”

Li Shimin nodded and said to Xue Dingshan: "I originally said that I would personally fund the preparation of a dowry for the marshal. However, Li Hong and his wife thanked each other politely, and it was not easy for me to interfere. This thing is a favorite embroidered screen of eight colorful embroidered folded flowers. Because I like it, I brought it out this expedition to the west. Now that I have nothing else by my side, I will give this thing to the marshal, and I will think that it is a dowry that I have bought for her. ”

Xue Dingshan hurriedly bowed down again and said, "Since it is a beloved thing of the saint, how can it be given to the courtiers?" I'm afraid that the marshal won't accept it, so please take it back. ”

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Things are used by people." I just love it, I appreciate it, I just see it. Now giving the marshal is also a good use. Xue Aiqing didn't have to excuse herself, she took it back and handed it over to the marshal, saying that it was the makeup I bought for her. The marshal will not be too prevaricated. Then he said to the waiter: "Give the things to Xue Aiqing." ”

The chamberlain hurriedly came to Xue Dingshan with his burden and said, "Marshal Xue, since it is a gift from the Holy Lord, the marshal does not have to refuse. ”

Cheng Yanjin said with a smile: "Ding Shan, since Long Live has given it, you can continue it." What's more, this is Banzai's promise to Pear Blossom, and it's not for you, you just have to take it back and give it to Pear Blossom. Whether she wants it or not, let her decide for herself. ”

Xue Dingshan had no choice but to respectfully raise his hands above his head and take the yellow satin burden in the hands of the waiter. said: "Thank you for the grace of the Holy Lord. ”

Li Shimin raised his hand to excuse Xue Dingshan and said, "Get up." As he spoke, he looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost noon, and I won't leave you behind." Go back and tell the marshal and Li Hong what I mean, and I will not only send someone to deliver the decree. lest you put incense on the table again, and change the official clothes, so that you will not be able to live in peace. I told them to fix the edict and bring it back when you come another day. ”

Xue Dingshan thanked him again and said, "Thank you for your compassion. After speaking, he stood up, bowed again, and said, "Wechen retreats." Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”

Xue Dingshan then withdrew from the imperial study. Came outside and stood on the steps and looked at the sky. The red sun was in the sky, and it was already noon. Hurriedly stepped down the steps until he walked out of the palace and came outside the palace gate.

Xun Qing and Lu Li saw Xue Dingshan coming out, and hurriedly greeted him, saying, "Shizi, come out?" Why did you go in for so long? Xue Dingshan handed over the burden of Huang Ayazi in his hand to Xun Qing, and supported his knees with his hands, today he is pleading again, thanking Fan Lihua again, and thanking Li Hong, kneeling and kowtowing several times, his knees can't help but ache. said: "The Holy One said three or four things, so it took a long time. Alright, it's getting late, let's go back quickly. Lu Li hurriedly brought over the Tengyun horse, and Xue Dingshan flew on the horse. Xun Qing and Lu Li also got on the horse, and the three masters and servants left the palace and returned to the Shuai Mansion

The three of Xue Dingshan's master and servant returned to the gate of the Shuai Mansion and dismounted. Someone came over and took the horses. Xue Dingshan took the two children all the way into the inner house to the outside of Princess Liu's house.

Xia He was anxiously waiting for him under the eaves of the porch, and when he saw Xue Dingshan coming back, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Why did the prince go for so much time?" The princess was in a hurry. Get on in. When Xue Dingshan heard this, he hurriedly followed Xia He into the house.

Since Xue Dingshan was announced to the palace by the chamberlain, Princess Liu has not been very sure. Fan Lihua hurriedly persuaded and said, "Mother-in-law, please rest assured, the general will definitely be fine." Princess Liu said: "Although I am not on duty in the barracks, I also know the importance of the food and salary in the barracks. If the Holy One blames you, you will inevitably be punished, how can I not be worried. Fan Lihua said with a smile: "The daughter-in-law is the commander of the three armies, and the daughter-in-law is responsible for the punishment, and it has nothing to do with the general." If the saint is guilty of this matter, he should also announce that his daughter-in-law will enter the palace, and he will never just summon the general to the palace alone. The saint is now counting on his daughter-in-law to pacify Xifan, and he is not expected to be too strict, mother-in-law, please relax, the general will be fine. Xue Yulian and Xue Jinlian also persuaded her, and Princess Liu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I hope it's really as you say." ”

After a few more gossips, Princess Liu saw that Fan Lihua had a trace of tiredness on her face, so she said: "Lihua, your body is not well, so you don't need to make rules here, go back and rest." Fan Lihua was indeed a little tired, and when she saw that Princess Liu let her go back, she hurriedly gave a blessing and said, "Thank you for your mother-in-law's understanding of the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law will retire for the time being." When the daughter-in-law recovers, she must serve in front of her mother-in-law. Princess Liu smiled: "When you are well, things in the camp are still too busy, where can you still have time to take care of me." As long as you and Ding Shan are in harmony with your husband and wife, add a little incense to the Xue family earlier, and be more filial than you serve me every day. Fan Lihua's face turned red, and she gave another salute, and went out of the room to recall Lan Xuan.

Princess Liu looked at Fan Lihua's back, sighed slightly, shook her head and said, "These two children, when will I be reassured." Xue Yulian smiled beside her and said, "Mother, you can rest assured." When I went to Yilanxuan just now, Pear Blossom was dressing up, and I saw that the white yarn prepared for her was red. ”

"Ahh Princess Liu was surprised and delighted, especially some who didn't believe it, and hurriedly asked, "Really?" Xue Yulian smiled: "Really." Yun Feng also personally combed Pear Blossom's hair. Princess Liu smiled and said, "Amitabha, the Buddha blesses you." Thankfully, the pair is finally reconciled. Princess Liu said with her hands folded and bowed to the sky.
