At the beginning of October of the first year of Yonglong, the emperor's royal drive went to the eastern capital Luoyang again.

In the first half of the year, the emperor's imperial drive has been back and forth to the eastern capital once, and in the year, the huge imperial driving team went to the eastern capital again, such a situation has never been seen before, which was also opposed by some important ministers in the court, they opposed the emperor to the eastern capital again on the grounds that the imperial drive back and forth between Chang'an in Xijing and Luoyang, the eastern capital, required a very huge cost.

However, Wu Zetian, the queen of heaven, ignored the opposition of some ministers, and insisted on going to Luoyang, because the ministers opposed the emperor Li Zhi, who could not make up his mind, and finally issued an edict to drive Luoyang, the eastern capital, and the ministers had to accept this result.

However, the situation of the imperial drive to the eastern capital this time was a little different from the last time, and the crown prince Li Xian, who was originally left in Chang'an to supervise state affairs, also asked to accompany him to Luoyang on the grounds that his father Li Zhi was not in good health, and finally got the consent of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian.

In this way, those who stayed in Chang'an, the capital of Beijing, were some important ministers led by Liu Renliang, the prince's left concubine, Li Yiyan, Zhongshu Ling, and Shizhong Yu Jun, and most of the other courtiers went to Luoyang with the emperor's imperial car.

Liu Yi participated in the task of guarding the royal car as the general of Qianniu Wei Zhonglang this time.

It's early winter in October, and the weather is fine, because the humidity is not high, although the temperature is a little low, but it doesn't make people feel too cold, and it's a good time to travel.

The scenery of this trip is very different from the last time Liu Yi drove to Luoyang with the emperor, except for the wicker leaves have fallen off, the other trees are full of golden leaves, the eyes are full of pleasing golden yellow, the crops in the field have also been harvested, and the whole world is very clear and empty.

In the crisp autumn season, the scenery of the countryside is very pleasing to the eye.

As the general of the Qianniu Guard, when the imperial car was marching, Liu Yi led more than 100 Qianniu Wei soldiers under his command to guard the emperor's imperial car, because there were other forbidden soldiers of the guards to guard the emperor's imperial car, when marching, the inner circle of the Qianniu Wei sergeant was the most relaxed, and only at night did their guard task be heavy.

There are two generals on the left and right Qianniuwei, four Zhonglang generals, every night is a Zhonglang general who leads his sergeant to perform the night escort mission, and the other generals are on standby, if there is no emergency, others can basically rest at ease.

Liu Yi had already ordered most of his guards to go to Luoyang before leaving, and stood by in his own house, because there were too many people, and it was not convenient for so many people to live in that small courtyard, Liu Yi ordered Liu Quan and Liu Ben to go to Luoyang first, buy or rent one or two ordinary points, and a house with a larger courtyard, so that these guards could live.

The maids sent by Princess Taiping, and a small number of guards, took a lot of luggage and went to Luoyang in a carriage a few days before the departure of the royal car.

Five days after leaving Chang'an City, the royal car drove to Weinan and camped outside Weinan City.

It is impossible for the imperial driving team of more than 10,000 people to camp in the small county town of Weinan, and the emperor Li Zhi is also unwilling to enter the city to disturb the people, so the imperial driving camp is stationed in the twenty miles outside the city of Weinan, an empty place.

At night, the sergeants led by Guo Qizong were in charge of the innermost guards, and Liu Yi and other generals were just on standby, so they needed their support in any situation, but their tents were not far from the post house where Li Zhi and Wu Zetian lived, so that they could respond at any time if something happened.

It was already dark, Liu Yi was about to go to rest after completing the task of guarding, who knew that he had just walked into his house, and Ping'er, the maid beside Princess Taiping, hurriedly ran in, saying that Princess Taiping was invited.

Since that time the maid personally sent to the house, although Liu Yi has seen Princess Taiping a few times, but there is no private communication, a few days after the departure of the royal car, because Liu Yi in charge of the guard has a lot of things, Princess Taiping did not send someone to invite, now Liu Yi has just been free, and Princess Taiping, who knows the situation, also immediately sent someone to invite.

Liu Yi was afraid that the demon girl would be angry, so he didn't delay, and immediately followed Ping'er to the house where Princess Taiping lived.

Princess Taiping's house is on the south side of where Li Zhi and Wu Zetian live, which belongs to the secondary building of the post house, Princess Taiping is unwilling to live next to her father and mother, and she asks to live in another room, no one knows what this arrogant princess means by doing this, only Liu Yi guessed Princess Taiping's intentions, no, there is something to pass on her past.

Liu Yi followed Ping'er into the house, and saw Princess Taiping, dressed in winter clothes, lazily lying on the couch to rest, and whispering something with another maid.

"The last general has seen the princess!" Liu Yi stepped forward and saluted.

"General Liu is exempt!" Princess Taiping gestured solemnly.

Liu Yi also took the opportunity to put away the gift, tilted his head to look at the demon girl with a happy face, and guessed what she would say to herself today.

"All of you go down!" Princess Taiping motioned to Ping'er and the other maids, "You are not allowed to come in without the permission of the palace..."

"Yes!" Ping'er waited for a few salutes, retreated one after another, and closed the door.

There were only two people left in the house, and Princess Taiping immediately put aside the noble and reserved image of the princess just now, jumped to Liu Yi's side three times and two times, looked at Liu Yi with a smile and said, "San Lang, do these people miss me..."

Liu Yi, who didn't expect Princess Taiping to come with such affectionate words, was a little embarrassed, and instinctively wanted to hide to the side.

Princess Taiping grabbed Liu Yi's arm and said a little viciously: "Where are you hiding..."

"Princess, now that we are in the post house, we have broken the etiquette like this, it is not good to be seen by others, some people will say that I will blaspheme my noble princess of the Tang Dynasty!" Liu Yi had a headache, since he had a close relationship with Shangguan Wan'er, he unconsciously had some resistance to Princess Taiping, and he was afraid of seeing this difficult princess.

"I just commanded, no one dares to come in, what are you afraid of!" Princess Taiping didn't follow, grabbed Liu Yi's arm tightly, and leaned the whole person over, "San Lang, do you know, I haven't talked to you in the past few days, and I've been thinking about you in my dreams... Did you miss me? ”

"I've been tired these days, and I fell asleep as soon as I lay down, and I didn't have a chance to think or dream!" Liu Yi snorted and looked at the demon girl in front of him who was very affectionate in front of him.

"Hmph, I'm so busy doing things for you, you don't even want me!" Princess Taiping said, pursed her lips, and looked aggrieved, "The queen mother has agreed to my request to build a courtyard by the Bahe River, I know that you and I are going to come to the Eastern Capital, so everything is done before departure, and the construction must start in a few days!"

"Oh, that's great!" Liu Yi responded with some surprise, Princess Taiping's work efficiency is quite high, she has done it in a few days, and said that she will start construction immediately, originally thought that she couldn't handle this matter before setting off for the Eastern Capital, and sent all the guards to the Eastern Capital. However, this construction matter does not need to be responsible for the personal guard, Liu Yi instructed his mother and the housekeeper Li Nian before leaving, and asked them to go to Zhang Luo for this matter. Let them be responsible for building a house, and some special equipment can only be done in person after they return to Chang'an.

"Hmph, how dare I not take it to heart what you command, but you don't take me to heart at any time!" Princess Taiping said with some dissatisfaction, and immediately changed her expression, "When the construction of the Zhuang Courtyard started, my subordinates went to your house and told your mother that it must be almost completed when we return to Chang'an next year," Princess Taiping said, raising her head in some surprise, "Next summer, we will be able to escape the heat there... San Lang, you have to accompany me every day..."

Listening to Princess Taiping's words, Liu Yi had a different mind, there is such a princess Taiping's built, but it belongs to her own village, you can treat it as your own private territory, then many things are much easier to do, and just like the villa in later generations, it is very comfortable to live there, and said at the moment: "If I have leisure, I will definitely accompany the princess to play there..."

"Don't call me Princess!" Before Liu Yi finished speaking, Princess Taiping said coquettishly, "I told you, when we stay together in private, you want to call me Yue'er..."

"Yue'er," Liu Yi had no choice but to call out as he said, "It's just the cost of the construction of this village..."

"I said it, don't worry about it, I'll have a way!" Princess Taiping shook her head and motioned to Liu Yi not to dwell on such trivial matters, "San Lang, you said those things in front of your father and mother, and your father and mother appreciate you more and more, hehe... When can you make some requests to them, such as—" Princess Taiping said, showing some shyness.

Liu Yi, who knew what Princess Taiping meant, was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "I understand what the princess meant, but I can't say it now..."

"I didn't let you say it now, I'll create a chance for you!" Princess Taiping looked happy and leaned her head on Liu Yi.

"Yue'er, it's night, the journey is tiring, you should rest early! I'm still in charge, and if something happens before I have time to react, I'll be in trouble!" There are only two people in the house, Princess Taiping is stained with herself, Liu Yi just tasted the surname of Shangguan Wan'er a few days ago, and the surname is high, he is afraid that under the teasing of the demon girl in front of him, he can't help but make some excessive actions.

Princess Taiping has been standing against Liu Yi, and now she is leaning on Liu Yi's arm with her chest hidden under her winter coat, which makes Liu Yi feel slightly firm, and her body has reacted, and it is the best policy to leave quickly.

"No, I want you to talk to me for a while, let others do it if there is anything, anyway, my mother won't blame you if something happens..." Princess Taiping looked at Liu Yi's somewhat unhappy look, and her tone softened again, "Okay, you go..."

Liu Yi wanted to break free of his hand, but he was still tightly grasped by Princess Taiping.

"Saburo... Kiss me and I'll let you go!" Princess Taiping said shyly, and raised her head slightly as she spoke, with a longing look.

Liu Yi quickly lowered his head, kissed Princess Taiping's forehead, broke free of Princess Taiping's hand, and saluted: "Princess, it's night, the last general will retire, and I will talk about it if I have something to understand..."

Behind her, Princess Taiping's annoyed voice came: "San Lang... You stinky guy..."
