Chapter 544: This Is Home, This Is Life

When the time slowly arrived seven minutes before sunrise, the bell outside the palace suddenly rang, and the gate of the palace slowly opened, and this son walked out of the palace, out of the palace, out of the imperial city, out of Chang'an, under the arch guard of Li Yuanfang and many other guards.

Well, you read that right, this son is like this, step by step, holding two legs to measure from the palace to the son who has long been dragged up from the warm bed, and began to drive to the mound altar, from the palace in the palace to the south, walking his grandmother's seven or eight miles of road, fortunately, those civil and military ministers can only rely on their legs to measure the distance like this son.

Until crossing the entire Chang'an City, come to the suburbs to prepare to the mound altar, that is, a large mound where to the air and sacrifice, the ancient name is the dew sacrifice. Seven or eight miles away, this is definitely not an easy job, and this is still a cold winter wax moon, in the early hours of the morning, the knife-like cold wind blows people's cheeks painfully, but fortunately, everyone is supported to the place where the mound altar is.

There are seven groups of gods in the altar, and each group of gods is made of azure satin to form a temporary shrine. The north side of the upper circle stone is set up on the front of the main seat - the tablet of the emperor god, and its god is a polygonal cone. The east and west sides of the second layer of the altar are subordinate - the sun, moon, stars, clouds, rain, wind and thunder tablets, and the gods are rectangular; In front of the shrine, there are a large number of offerings such as jade, silk, whole cattle, whole sheep, whole pigs, wine, fruits, and dishes. There are more than 700 vessels used for sacrificial offerings and various ritual utensils alone.

The south side of the upper circle stone is set up to congratulate the case, and the emperor's worship seat is located in the south of the upper and middle two platforms. On the east and west sides of the south steps of the Yuanqiu altar, there are 16 kinds of chimes, chimes, bells, bells, etc., and more than 60 pieces of musical instruments are composed of Zhonghe Shao music, which are arranged neatly, solemn and magnificent.

First of all, the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Sacrifice to the heavens jumped up and chattered, and then there was a group of priests who were chattering crookedly, and all kinds of music began to be played, and after a long time, it was finally the turn of this son.

Wearing the crown robe of the Son of Heaven, I stood on the altar of the mound, holding Yugui to the heavens for a while, and I read it according to the small note that Fang Xuanling stuffed, and after a long time, I finally completed the ritual of worshiping the sky, and then began to climb back, well, fortunately, I had to walk when I came, but there was no limit when I went back, and my son finally had the opportunity to get into my four-wheeled carriage and happily took a nap with the stove.

As for the carriage, of course, it did not continue to drive into the palace, but after entering Chang'an, it turned around and ran directly to my house, got out of the carriage, stretched a big lazy waist, and guarded the gate of the palace, wrapped in plate armor, and the guards in burqas raised their guns at me in unison.

After bowing slightly to them, I strode into the house, although I had not returned home for only a few days, but after entering the house, there was a sense of joy of reunion after a long absence, especially when I had just walked into the small courtyard and came to the bedroom lightly, a sense of expectation filled my heart.

Reaching out and gently pushing the door...... Damn, the door was locked, and it seemed that the Yaoguang girls were still resting, and it was a little early at this time.

Li Yuanfang looked at me and asked in a low voice, "Childe, do you want to knock on the door to wake up Madame?" ”

"Forget it, now it's dawn, I'd better go to the study." I didn't see the Yaoguang girls, and I still regretted it in my heart, but I still forgot it, I really called the door this time, and I had to wait for them to dress up in a hurry before I dared to open the door, so I might as well go to the study to lie down.

When I entered the study, I felt a warmth on my face, I couldn't help but sigh, threw the cloak on my body to Li Yuanfang, walked to the stove and touched the kettle on the stove, sure enough, it was hot, the fire in the stove was covered, and the small flames jumped up from time to time.

This fire must have been covered by Sister Qingxia, and when she picked up the tongs, she could suddenly feel a wave of heat rushing out of the stove. Put down the kettle and rested on the stove, walked to the desk, and saw the script of the play written by Ben Gongzi on the table, and the place on the desk was half copied on the paper, looking at the handwriting, this should be Yaoguang's sister.

The corners of my mouth couldn't help but lift briskly, admiring their handwriting, and the warmth in my heart seemed to be a little warmer than the temperature in the room.

It seems that I saw the two of them in this study admiring these works of mine, admiring and discussing them at the same time, and transcribing these deleted and altered manuscripts for me.

In the haze, I heard a crisp and crisp voice, whispering in my ear. "Husband, husband...... Why did you sleep here? Qingxia, go back to the house and get a thick blanket on the bed, it's true, why won't you even knock on the door......"

I slowly opened my eyes, and I saw the eyes and expressions of Yaoguang girl full of concern and love.

"Husband, wake up, why are you sleeping here?" Sister Yaoguang couldn't help but ask when she saw me open her eyes.

"It was just dawn when I came back, and I didn't want to disturb the two of you, so I came here to rest." I yawned and said, only to realize that I didn't lie on the couch, but slept directly on this desk, no wonder I always felt awkward.

"You're really, what are you arguing about us, husband has worked hard these days, right?" The Yaoguang girl snorted, and raised her white fingers to gently scratch the tip of my nose.

"Well, of course it's hard, eating those dishes without ginger and garlic all day long is really unappetizing, besides, the chef's skills are not as delicious as the dishes made by the chef in our house, and more importantly, without my lady by my side, my husband is tasteless to eat, and sleepless to sleep......" I smiled and took the Yaoguang girl into my arms, kissed her pink lips and smiled.

"Nonsense, it must be ......" Yaoguang smiled brightly, rested his head happily on my shoulder, and arched me vigorously.

Holding her slender waist, she smiled at Sister Qingxia who walked into the study with a thick blanket. "It's just a matter of fooling others for your husband, how can you fool your own woman?"

I got up too early in the morning, and in order to hurry up at that time, I stuffed two snacks at random, and now I am so hungry that my chest is about to stick to my back, but fortunately, breakfast in the house has been prepared.

Fragrant preserved egg porridge, and a few dishes of side dishes, well, of course, the preserved egg is made by this son, this thing has not crossed before I will do, that is, with yellow mud mixed with a small amount of salt, tea, lime and plant ash wrapped, at room temperature for more than a month, and then it can be turned into a beautiful pattern on the surface, delicious preserved eggs.

This is best served with vinegar to reduce its alkalinity, but it is also a great choice for cooking porridge. Back then, our favorite porridge was preserved egg porridge.

While eating breakfast, he told Sister Yaoguang and Sister Qingxia the story of what had happened in the past few days, and told them that my son had ordered the demolition of all the palaces that had not yet been built at the back of the palace, and then made a huge lawn, and of course the villa complex.

Well, even the design sketches Ben Gongzi brought, and by the way, I explained them to these two girls. “…… Understood, my husband doesn't want to be like those emperors in the past, if he wants to see his wife and children, he has to go far away, and it is not his home at all. What my husband hopes most is that our family lives with Helele, and we don't need to think about those troubles, and we don't need to see people intriguing, this is home, this is ...... life."

Hearing this, the two girls smiled. Yaoguang girl directly got into my arms, kissed me fiercely, and smiled sweetly: "Well, husband is so good, concubine body doesn't like to live alone in a big house, it's better to live under the same roof with husband, you can chat with your husband every day, you can play chess with Qingxia to relieve boredom......"

They also don't like to live in a deserted palace, preferring to live under the same roof with their husbands, where they can see each other, get to know each other, and sleep in each other's arms every day.

"By the way, husband, I received a letter from my second brother last night. Look at ......" Sister Yaoguang wiped her lips, picked up a letter from the pile of letters next to her, and handed it to me.

"Really? It seems that Brother Shimin has returned to Jinyang. I put down the steamed bun in my hand and spread out the letter to look at it. This guy has indeed returned to his lair, and they are very happy with the gifts I gave before leaving.

In the letter, Li Shimin also thanked me on behalf of Li Yuan, and in addition, Li Shimin wrote to me that his father gave 500 sets of heavy plate armor, in addition to leaving 100 sets for himself, 100 sets for Li Jiancheng, 100 sets for Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji's kid also divided 100 sets, and the other 100 sets were actually given to Li Mi to show his kindness to him.

Seeing this news, it really made me a little speechless, your old Li family is not without anyone, such as your cousin Li Shentong, the hundred sets are also good to give to that guy, Li Yuan is good, all the hundred sets were thrown to Li Mi to show kindness.

Think about it back then, Cui Rang even gave up the entire Wagang to Li Mi, but the result was not still doomed.

However, Li Shimin explained in the letter that both he and Li Jiancheng strongly opposed giving the heavy plate armor to Li Mi, but Li Yuan insisted that he would treat people with sincerity, and if he wanted to come, Li Mi would definitely return the ring.

also threw the ring to repay, for fear that the ring that Li Mi threw was a drop of blood. The more I looked at it, the more speechless my son became, Li Yuan, the old father-in-law who preferred it, would do this, which was really quite unexpected by me.

"What's wrong with my husband?" Sister Yaoguang was still smiling happily when she saw me when she first saw the letter, but when she saw the back, her brows became more and more furrowed, and she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"See for yourself...... Your father thinks that Li Mi will repay Li Mi so much? I handed the letter to Sister Yaoguang and said with a light sigh.
