Chapter 34: Chang'an

In 618 AD, the fourteenth year of the Great Cause of Sui. In March of this year, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was killed in Jiangdu. At the end of May of this year, Li Yuan abolished Yang Yu as emperor in Chang'an, founded the country as Tang, changed the Yuan Wude, and was the first year of Wude, and the capital was Chang'an. The Tang Dynasty was born.

In June of the same year, Tang Gaozu established Li Jiancheng as the crown prince, Li Shimin, the Duke of Zhao, as the King of Qin, and Li Yuanji, the Duke of Qi, as the King of Qi.

Seeing that the Li Mansion was packing up and preparing to move to the ancient city of historical civilization "Chang'an" and move into the world-famous "Daming Palace", but in my opinion, it is just another cage, where will there be many women like Duan Jingya in the future, but some are for a moment of glory and wealth, but some are the order of their parents and Duan Jingya, even if they are unwilling in every way, they can't resist this etiquette and this imperial power!

"Packed up? You only need to bring the heaviest one, and the rest of Chang'an City is available, so you don't need to stay any longer, let's go! โ€

In the huge team, I turned my head to look at the Li Mansion who had lived for two years, and then at Duan Jingya, who was sitting on the side and holding the little one. The little guy is white and chubby, and he is very cute.

Duan Jingya looked at the villain in her arms: "I don't know if it will change this day?" โ€

I smiled and looked at the little guy in her arms and said, "No, I'm afraid this day will be sunny for a while." โ€

Duan Jingya looked at me with a complicated look in her eyes, I smiled at her, and she smiled too, it was the first time I saw her smile so good.

I got up and got out of the carriage, rode the Linglong that Duan Zhixuan gave me, and walked to the front of the line, side by side with Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji looked at me worriedly and said, "Yue'er, are you really not riding in the carriage?" โ€

I smiled and shook my head and said, "The last time I went back to Yingzhou, I had enough of it, so it's better to ride a horse." โ€

He hesitated for a moment, nodded, stopped talking, raised his hand and shouted, "Go!" โ€

โ€ฆ

Evening after January

"Yue'er! Yue'er! Why don't you enter the palace? โ€

Li Yuanji came to me in a hurry, I sat on a chair in the pavilion with fish food in my hand, leisurely watching the sunset and feeding the fish. I turned my head to see him sweating profusely, apparently from the palace.

"Sister doesn't enter the palace, why should I enter the palace? Besides, there are so many rules in the palace, how can there be a quiet mansion. โ€

"But, my eldest brother and I are here!"

"You are in the palace and I am in the palace, is there anything wrong with this?"

"Sister-in-law, she doesn't want to enter the palace, she lives in the Li Mansion in the past, you... You're in Duanfu, if I want to see you, wouldn't I have to send a prayer post, this..."

"Fool, don't I go to Sister A's place once in a while? Besides, how can I, an unmarried person, live in someone else's house every day, of course I have to go back to Duanfu. โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€

I took his hand and asked him to sit next to me, and handed him some fish food: "Now that this old lady Li and Sister A are outside the palace, the rest of your Li family is eager to move into this splendid palace." But so what, I'm not like them, stupid enough to get into that golden cage. โ€

Li Yuanji was slightly stunned, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, after a while, I will go and ask my father to give me a marriage, so that I can go out of the palace and establish a new mansion." When the time comes, you can do whatever you want, and don't care about those etiquette rules. My moon is like herself. โ€

I looked at him stunned, very moved, smiled, and threw all the fish food in my hand into the pool. Then he clapped his hands, stood up and said to him, "Let's go, I'll make you something to eat." โ€

With that, he took Li Yuanji's hand and walked towards my small kitchen.

Now that this mansion has been established, there are only me and Duan Zhixuan in the mansion, and Li Yuan has appointed Duan Yanshi as the judicial secretary of Taiyuan County, so he will not come to Chang'an for the time being, and Duan Zhixuan in the mansion has modified it according to the appearance I want.

Now Duan Zhixuan is busy with government affairs, and most of the time in Duan Mansion is me and a dozen family members, and I am much more comfortable than in Taiyuan Li Mansion.

Occasionally, I would go to the Li Mansion to see Mrs. Li and Duan Jingya, and after staying for a few days, the little guy began to babble and talk.

I teased the little guy and asked, "Sister, can the little guy have a name?" โ€

Duan Jingya smiled and said, "Father gave the name, Chengzong." โ€

The little guy grabbed my fingers, and I was stunned as I looked at the cute little man lying underneath me. Is this fate? History can't be changed after all, can it?

I don't know why my eyes were a little blurry, I smiled, got up and looked at Duan Jingya, Duan Jingya looked at me and frowned slightly, "What's wrong?" โ€

I lowered my head and wiped the corners of my eyes and said, "It's okay, it's just that something got in my eyes." โ€

Walking out of the Li Mansion, I walked aimlessly on Chang'an Avenue, and all I could think of was the fleshy face of the little guy.

Li Chengzong, year of birth and death unknown, ancestral home in Longxi Chengji. Tang Prince Li Jiancheng's eldest son and grandson of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan. In June of the third year of Wude, he was named the king of Taiyuan County and died early.

So the little one may...

At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves and the exclamations of the crowd ahead. A wave of men and horses roared, and by the time I reacted, the horses were on the verge of crashing into me, and the next second, I only felt a force around my waist. I closed my eyes tightly, and I was greeted with a snort, gentle and with a light fragrance, I slowly opened my eyes.

What caught my eye was Li Jiancheng's warm and handsome face, and I was sitting in his arms, his palms still on my waist.

He looked at me and frowned slightly, "Yue'er? โ€

I looked at him and froze, my heart still beating wildly, and I hadn't yet reacted from the fright.

Li Jiancheng called again: "Yue'er, why are you here?" โ€

I looked at him, and somehow, I unconsciously burst into tears, maybe because I knew the ending and the direction of events, but I was powerless.

He was stunned, I buried myself in his chest, crying, people on the street looked at us, Li Jiancheng looked around, a little helpless, and then gently hugged me, warm palm caress my back, comforted: "Okay, okay, good... Don't cry, I'll send you home, okay? โ€

I nodded in his arms, and for the first time I wept at my powerlessness and weakness. Later, I cried and hiccuped, Li Jiancheng shook his head and smiled, comforting me while riding a full horse to send me back to Duanfu.

When I arrived at the Duan Mansion, he turned over and dismounted, and then picked me off the horse, I lowered my head and did not look at him, but saluted him and turned around to enter the mansion. I didn't think that I was caught by him as soon as I turned around, I looked back at him, he was stunned for a moment, laughed, I immediately turned my head and didn't look at him.

I only heard him say, "Yue'er, no matter what happens, you can come to me." โ€

I was slightly stunned, then nodded, he let go of my hand, and I turned around and ran into the Duan Mansion.

Back in the room, Jeff came in with me, and I lay on the bed and let myself go.
