In April of the eighth year of Zhenguan, the seventh child of Empress Changsun, Princess Xincheng, was born.

Since giving birth to Princess Jinyang, Empress Changsun's body has been much worse than before, and she often has colds and colds.

When she gave birth to her seventh child, it didn't go well, and she finally gave birth, and she fell asleep for two days, and she sat for two months before her spirit improved slightly.

When the eldest grandson was confined, it was already mid-June, and the weather was quite hot, and Li Shimin was quite afraid of heat due to physical reasons.

Every year in the hot summer, as long as the court is not particularly busy, he has to go out to escape the heat.

He was worried about his wife's health before, and he couldn't rest assured, so he didn't go out.

Now that his wife has been sitting for two months, her spirit and face are much better, so she wants to take her to Jiucheng Palace to avoid the office.

Jiucheng Palace was built in the thirteenth year of Kaihuang, located in Wushan County (Tang Dynasty), Tiantai Mountain in the north of Dushui, and was repaired by Li Shimin again in the fifth year of Zhenguan.

Jiucheng Palace is located at an altitude of nearly 1,100 meters, in the hot summer, the heat wave outside is pressing, but the climate here is cool and pleasant, very suitable for summer vacation.

Li Shimin will definitely not be his alone if he wants to go to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer, and he is going to spend the summer in Jiucheng Palace before returning to Beijing.

For this reason, almost all the important ministers of the court were brought over, in addition to the courtiers, the prince and princess also brought several, and they temporarily moved the location of the office to the Jiucheng Palace in Tiantai Mountain.

In addition to the prince and princess, the people in the harem accompanied him were Empress Changsun, Zheng Jieyu and Concubine Yan Xian.

Zheng Jieyu has been in the palace for nearly three years, and she still has no heirs, but she is incomparable in appearance, smart and sensible, Li Shimin has always been a great favor for her, except for the queen's political palace, the time spent with her is the most, and she is naturally indispensable when she comes out to escape the summer.

As for Concubine Yan Xian, she is an old man who has followed him since the beginning of the Qin Palace, and she is also an extremely smart and measured person, plus she just lost a son last year, Li Shimin felt a little pity for her in his heart, and this time he took her, somewhat relieved and compensated.

The emperor traveled, there were countless carriages and horses, and it took four or five days on the road, Li Shimin set off from Chang'an on June 13, and arrived at Jiucheng Palace on the evening of June 17.

When he got down from Luan, Li Shimin saw that his wife's face was not very good, so he couldn't help but reach out to support her: "What, the queen feels uncomfortable?" ”

"It's okay, my health has deteriorated in recent years, and after a little tiredness, I feel tired, just rest." Empress Eldest Sun cheered up and smiled at him.

Li Shimin looked at her pale face and the tiredness that couldn't be hidden between her eyebrows, and her brows twisted unconsciously.

Since his wife gave birth to Mingda, her body has been getting worse day by day, and now she has reborn this little princess, and she is getting weaker and weaker.

It's not okay to go on like this, it won't work, I have to think of getting Sun Simiao, the old guy, back, Li Shimin frowned and thought silently.

He didn't want anything to happen to his wife at all, only when she was there, his heart could be settled and he could feel at peace.

After a few days of driving, everyone was quite tired, entered the palace, and after settling down, they each rested without mentioning it.

After the eldest grandson queen rested for two days, her spirit was a little better, and Li Shimin's heart was also relieved when she saw this.

Li Shimin is an idle character, he saw that his wife was fine, and after resting for two days, he took people to hunt in the mountains.

The three sons of the eldest grandson queen, the crown prince, the king of Yue and the king of Jin, all came, and the four daughters, Changle and Chengyang, came, Mingda and the newborn princess were still young and not suitable for tiring travel, and the eldest grandson did not take them and left them in the capital.

Although Changle is a married daughter, with Li Shimin's love for her, he naturally will not leave her, not only she came, but her concubine Changsun Chong also came over.

The crown prince has turned sixteen years old, and Li Tai is also fourteen years old, although these two sons are not very good at martial arts, but the prince at this age, the emperor hunting, naturally cannot but follow.

For this reason, when the emperor went out, there were only six-year-old Li Zhi and four-year-old Princess Chengyang, Changle and Yuzhang left by Empress Changsun.

Changle is already married, and she is not able to accompany her eldest grandson at all times like in the past, and now she is accompanied by Yuzhang.

Empress Eldest Sun is getting tired day by day, and recently, as long as her body is not too broad, she will walk around outside in the morning and evening to exercise.

On the fourth day of coming to Jiucheng Palace, after the eldest grandson queen got up and washed, she saw that the air outside was unusually fresh, so she came out and slowly boxed.

Because she didn't practice for a long time, the eldest grandson felt that her movements were rusty, and her body seemed extremely stiff.

As soon as he stopped, he saw Changle and Yuzhang walking over from not far away, Changle smiled and said: "Queen Mother, I have heard that the queen mother was heroic back then, and the son has finally seen it now." ”

"Ghost girl, what kind of heroic posture am I, I haven't moved my muscles and bones for many years, and I feel that my bones are rusty, why did you come here so early?"

Empress Changsun gave her an angry look, and after she got married, she lived with the concubine, and did not live in the same palace as the eldest grandson.

"Of course, I was worried about my mother, so I came to accompany you early, hey, the girl who got married really has no status in her mother's family, look, my son has only been married for a few months, and my mother won't want to see me." When the eldest grandson heard this, he immediately looked aggrieved.

"The five emperor sisters are getting older and more shameless, they are all married, and they are acting." Before Empress Eldest Sun could say anything, she heard the voice of a young child coming from behind them.

But it was Li Zhi who walked out of the house with a small face.

"Yo, the little drama spirit is embarrassed to say that others are acting?" When Changle and Yu Zhang heard this, they immediately laughed.

"Who is the little drama spirit, the pheasant slave can't be more serious, okay?" Li Zhi refuted with a straight face.

This baby is two years old, and instead of pretending to be pitiful at every turn like when he was a child to win sympathy, he likes to be serious again.

"Haha, pheasant slave, you ......" Yu Zhang and Changle couldn't help laughing.

Empress Eldest Sun watched her children fight, and her face couldn't help but smile, she only hoped that her children could live in harmony like this forever.

"Queen Mother, you haven't been in good spirits recently, and after coming to this Jiucheng Palace for a few days, your complexion looks better than before."

Changle and Yuzhang made a few jokes with Li Zhi, walked up to the eldest grandson, carefully looked at her complexion, and spoke.

"The scenery here is really good, no wonder your father likes it, in the hot summer, there is a rolling heat wave everywhere outside, but you can hardly feel the heat here."

Empress Eldest Sun smiled, staying here, she unconsciously remembered the time when she lived in her own summer resort with her mother in Luoyang, and her spirit was a little trance.

In a blink of an eye, my mother is old, my father has passed away in her twenties, and my sister in Pingyang is long gone...... Now that I think about it, it all feels like a dream.
