That is, three years after Li Yao left Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, he finally built the vast Heavenly Palace in Luoyang City together with Zhang Jingde, the city guard of Luoyang City.

And the completion of the repair of the White Horse Temple and the construction of the Heavenly Palace, Li Yao should also go back to Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty and report to Wu Zetian what has happened in Luoyang City in the past three years, so Li Yao did not stay too long, and the day after the Heavenly Palace was built, Li Yao made all the preparations and went back to Chang'an City with Dong Mingzhu and Yanhong Linghong.

Originally, An Yuyin also wanted to go back, but Li Yao still has a lot of houses in Luoyang City, and he must leave someone to take care of it, An Yuyin is just such a suitable person, there is no way, An Yuyin has no choice but to stay in Luoyang City quietly, and he hopes that Li Yao will come back soon, and Li Yao also promised An Yuyin that he will definitely return to Luoyang City to reunite with her soon, and An Yuyin does not believe it at all.

But she had no choice but to reluctantly send Li Yao and the four of them away.

Half a month later, Li Yao and the four of them finally rushed back to Chang'an City in a carriage, and as soon as they returned to Chang'an City, Li Yao found that in the past three years, Chang'an City has changed a lot.

The first is Cheng Boxian and Wang Ling'er, the two of them gave birth to a son, who is now two years old, followed by Wei Chi Youyou and Lin Fu, both of whom have now become academicians and scholars of Liuyang Academy, and they are relatively promising, and finally Qin Jing, that kid actually married four women, and these four women were all rescued from Hehuan Gate before and wanted to get married.

This made Li Yao admire Qin Jing very much, and he must have the daughter of the prince's minister's family to be worthy of him with his identity, but Qin Jing disdains this, as long as the woman he likes is still so resolute, which makes Li Yao really admire Qin Jing in his heart.

Back to Yifu to settle down, Li Yao and Dong Mingzhu sat together in the front yard hall to rest, it was noon, the sun was hot, Dong Mingzhu turned his head to look at Li Yao, and said to Li Yao with some distress: "I just arrived at home and settled, and now it's so hot, or you will go to see the Queen Mother tomorrow! ”

"It's not that you don't know who the Queen Mother is, if I don't go to see her until tomorrow, I guess she will have to show me a look at the face by then, it's better to go now. Li Yao smiled bitterly and replied bitterly.

"Yes, then you go early and come back early. Dong Mingzhu said helplessly to Li Yao.

Li Yao nodded noncommittally.

Dong Mingzhu said again: "It's okay for you to enter the palace, I have to go back to my mother's house in a while, I just heard from the people in the house that something happened to Dong Cheng, it seems that he was dismissed by the Queen Mother, he ran away from home in a fit of anger, and now I don't know where to go." ”

"What? Dong Cheng was dismissed from his post because of what?" Li Yao exclaimed in surprise.

He never expected that Dong Cheng's kid had not only not been promoted in the past three years, but had also been dismissed, you must know that when he left three years ago, Dong Cheng was already a member of the Yuanlang, and his status was not low! But what was the reason why he was dismissed by Wu Zetian? This made Li Yao a little curious.

Dong Mingzhu lowered his head and was silent for a few seconds, and said helplessly: "Listen to what people say, it seems that it is because he openly talked about Li Chong, the king of Langya, three years ago in the Feng Pavilion, and spoke for Li Chong, so he angered the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother dismissed him in a fit of anger and investigated him. ”

"So that's the case! That is, he deserves it, he knows that he can't mention it, so he has to mention it, and it's no wonder if he doesn't get dismissed. Li Yao sneered, and there was a burst of laughter.

"Don't fall into the well, you go to the palace quickly! I'll go get ready, go back and see Daddy." Dong Mingzhu scolded Li Yao angrily.

After speaking, she didn't say much to Li Yao, but got up and left the hall, went to the backyard to prepare things, and went to Luoyang for three years, Dong Mingzhu came back immediately, and she must have gone back to her parents' house to see it, and Dong Cheng suddenly had such a thing, all of which was not expected by Dong Mingzhu's aunt.

It's Li Yao, he is very happy, Dong Cheng has been at odds with him from the beginning, and now that he has such a situation, Li Yao is naturally happy.

With this happiness in his heart, Li Yao also left Yifu alone, planning to walk around Chang'an City first, and go back to see his father and mother, and then go to Wangguilou, and then slowly enter the palace to see Wu Zetian, after all, it has been three years, Li Yao doesn't know how An Babu and Ling Niang are doing, and he doesn't know what Rouge has developed into the Xiaoyao faction, he is back, and he naturally wants to go and see.

An hour later, Li Yao came to the old house on West Street.

Standing at the gate, looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Li Yao suddenly had a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, Li Yao shouted to the door: "Daddy, Xiaobao is back, are you at home?"

"Who's screaming outside?" As soon as Li Yao's voice fell, an old voice sounded behind the door.

Then, the door was opened from the inside, and as soon as the door opened, Li Yao looked up and saw an old man he didn't know, standing behind the gate, staring at him with strange eyes, all of whom made Li Yao dumbfounded, and he wondered if he had come to the wrong place.

But when he looked up, Li Yao was sure that this was indeed a big mansion where his father and mother lived! Looking up at this old man, Li Yao couldn't help asking, "May I ask the old man, who are you?"

"I'm the old housekeeper of the An family, this son, who are you looking for?" the old housekeeper explained his identity to Li Yao and asked him.

"Oh! I see!" Li Yao nodded in relief.

When he left three years ago, An Babu and Ling Niang didn't look for any housekeepers, and the two of them must have been looking for housekeepers and Yahuan people after he and An Yuyin left.

After figuring out this, Li Yao didn't say much to the old housekeeper, but with a smile, he walked in directly, and the old housekeeper was startled!

"Where is he now?" asked Li Yao with a smile.

"It's in the antechamber, chatting with Miss Rouge. The old housekeeper shouted in his ear while chasing Li Yao.

Li Yao opened his mouth and laughed out loud when he heard this, thinking to himself, Miss Rouge in the mouth of the old housekeeper, that must be Rouge is good, he didn't expect that when he went home to find his father, Rouge was already in his house, which made Li Yao happy, and saved him from running to Wangguilou to find Rouge.

With such thoughts, Li Yao quickly entered the front hall.

As soon as he entered, he saw An Babu and Ling Niang sitting in the hall with Rouge, talking and laughing, the atmosphere was very relaxed, and the old housekeeper hurriedly said to An Babu: "Master, this son suddenly broke in, and he didn't say anything, I can't stop it!"

"Who is so bold?" Ambabu asked, looking up.

"Yes...... The son is back. Ling Niang on the side noticed that the person who came in was Li Yao, and she immediately screamed.

An Babu looked up and took a closer look, and it was really Li Yao who was standing at the door! Even though his eyes were red, he immediately stood up, flew towards Li Yao, rushed to Li Yao, and hugged him into his arms.

Li Yao looked at Ambabu and Ling Niang, there was a little more gray hair on his head, and his eyes were also moist, he hadn't seen him for three years, his father and mother had aged a lot, why didn't Li Yao feel distressed when he looked at it? But in addition to being distressed, Li Yao also glanced at Rouge standing aside from the corner of his eye, three years ago, she was still a little green, but now goodbye, the maturity on Rouge's face and the charm exuded by her body made Li Yao a little fascinated.

And An Babu hugged Li Yao for a while, and then he let go of Li Yao, stretched out his hand and beat Li Yao's chest, and shouted to Li Yao: "You little bastard, you won't tell Lao Tzu when you come back, if you say it early, I will take someone to pick you up outside the city gate with your mother!"

"I'm in a hurry to come back, and I don't have time to inform you! I haven't seen you for three years, my father and mother, you are a lot old, Xiaobao looks very distressed!" Li Yao lowered his head and saluted the two of them with his fists in his fists.

"People don't have old hearts, don't talk so much nonsense, what about Yuyin? Didn't she come back with you?"

Li Yao immediately had a sneer on his face, and reached out to take An Babu aside.

The two of them stopped outside the gate, and Li Yaocai said to An Babu with a smile: "Daddy! Yuyin is still in Luoyang City! Your son and I have bought more than a dozen houses in Luoyang City in the past three years, and I have to stay in Luoyang City to see the houses." ”

"Well, when are you going to let her come back?" asked Ambabu, too, with a sneer.

"I don't plan to let her come back, and Dad, let me tell you, you and your mother will make preparations in the past few days, take care of the things at home, sell the land that should be sold, and turn the building around, all of them will be exchanged for silver, and go directly to Luoyang City with the silver to meet Yuyin, and when you go, Yuyin will make arrangements for you directly, you don't have to worry." Li Yao whispered to Ambabu.

But the more he said, the more confused the expression on An Babu's face became, and An Babu couldn't figure it out, his family lived well in Chang'an City, and now they live a rich life without worrying about food and clothing, why did Li Yao go and come back for three years, the first thing he did was to let them sell the building and land, and then move the whole family to Luoyang?

This really makes An Babu quite a little confused by the second monk!
