According to folk rumors, Concubine Yin, who was once one of the four noble concubines in the palace, held a grudge against King Qin's father and daughter because of her momentary anger, and sent private soldiers of the Yin family to retaliate, wanting to destroy the family of King Qin, but to no avail! Even the emperor couldn't find out the root cause, but unfortunately it was discovered and reported by the people who were grateful to King Qin, resulting in the destruction of all the Yin family henchmen, including the Yin concubine.

Therefore, this time, the Goguryeo secret piles in ambush in Chang'an City were all very cautious, and the stores also used their own people, and the old shops that had been ambushed in the Central Plains for more than ten years, if he didn't admit it himself, no one would know their roots.

In the Xishi Tavern, because it was the New Year, Li Yuanying posted a notice that the tavern would be temporarily closed and reopened after the Lantern Festival.

Most of the tables and chairs in the front hall were removed, and a large piece was vacated, which was transformed into a large charcoal stove by Li Yuanying for heating, and the bonfire lit the house to warm up.

Lao Li Yuan was taken back to the palace, because it was almost the New Year, and he, the emperor, had to go back to the palace, after all, there were so many people in the royal family, and many people came back to pay homage to him during the New Year.

Fang Yiai also went home for the New Year with his family on vacation, and Doctor Sun Shen is the same, he has been going to the doctor for many years, and it is rare to go home once a year, and he basically goes home to accompany his family for the New Year.

Yuwen Chengdu was also picked up by his uncle Yuwenshi, and even the fifty guards outside the tavern were given leave by Li Yuanying to go back for the New Year.

So now there are only Li Yuanying's family of three left in the tavern, and Xiao Doudou is not there that day, there are only Li Yuanying and his wife around the bonfire, and Cui's is staring at her husband without saying anything.

Li Yuanying pampered his wife's head, "What's the matter to say directly, look at what makes you embarrassed?" Is it because my mother's family has a problem and wants me to help? ”

Cui Shi said shyly: "Husband, why do you knock the concubine's head like a doudou?" Did you treat your concubine as a daughter? Although it is the joy of the concubine to be favored by her husband, she is not in line with the etiquette like this, and she will not dare to do it again. ”

"What's not in line with propriety? Says who? ”

"As the book says, the first sage Confucius compiled the Book of Rites and taught future generations that husbands and wives should respect each other as guests......"

Cui Shi was interrupted by Li Yuanying before he finished speaking: "I haven't studied, so I'm not a disciple of Sage Kong, how can his rituals restrain people who haven't studied?" Isn't spoiling a wife what a husband should do? In my eyes, aren't you just a little girl who hasn't grown up yet......"

Saying that, Li Yuanying tried to ruffle Cui Mingyue's hair again, but the latter dodged and avoided it, and said with a red face: "In broad daylight, don't be ashamed." ”

"Yo, what am I doing in broad daylight? I still ......"

Speaking of this, Li Yuanying stopped, staring at Cui Mingyue in a daze.

Cui Mingyue said strangely: "Husband, you, what are you looking at?" So distracted. ”

Li Yuanying came back to her senses and whispered: "Madam, your pretty face is reflected in the lamplight, which is particularly charming......

"What??? You...... How can this be? Adultery during the day, husband, you are too bad......"

……

After wasting his strength for a long time, Li Yuanying didn't succeed after all, because Cui's family was not so open-minded as later generations, and everyone's awe of etiquette was engraved in their bones.

The two tidied up their clothes and returned to the bonfire, and Cui said truthfully: "Husband, my father wants me to go back to my parents' house for the New Year this New Year, I, I know that Yu Li is not compatible, I am already a foreign marriage, and I should be filial to my in-laws in my husband's house."

Can ......"

"No need to explain, it is understandable, although you and I have been married for many years, after all, it is a special circumstance and a private life, and the sudden result is that most of my father-in-law and old family are reluctant, so let you go back to spend the New Year with them. What do you think? When will I send someone to see you off? ”

Cui Shi was moved and hugged her husband directly, "Husband, you are so good to your concubine, it's like everything is in a dream......"

Li Yuanying smiled and said, "Really? This time, you took the initiative to throw yourself into your arms, and see how you run......"

"Oops, I was wrong, wrong...... Wait until the kids come back and see! Cui's sacrifice made a big move, and Li Yuanying let go.

"I think, with the consent of the husband, we will take the child into the palace tomorrow, and the concubine will sue the emperor, and set off the day after tomorrow, without escort, I will go with the second uncle and them."

Li Yuanying nodded, "Okay, if it's okay after the New Year, I'll take the child to pick you up, and by the way, go to Qinghe to have a look, they all say that the five surnames and Qiwang poetry and books are great, and I told my father-in-law, I want to see Cui's book collection and secret mansion." ”

"Huh? This, this, husband, should you ......?"

"What? You think I'm going to rob your library, I'm just curious to visit, nothing else, just take the children to see it for a long time. If it's inconvenient, forget it. Or let the old man clean up the Cui family's secrets or something......"

Cui Mingyue glanced at Li Yuanying and said: "If you are a common person, the son-in-law of the Cui family can let you read and study casually, but you are now the king of Qin, let alone reading, stepping into the Qinghe realm can attract the attention of countless people."

Then I'll go back and reply to my father, I think, there is no reason for the family not to let you visit, although the Cui family inheritance relies on these books and classics, but the generation of capable people who have learned the classics, I am not afraid of what you have learned to go back, if you really learn something from the Cui family's library, then it will be good, His Royal Highness the King of Qin is my Cui family protégé, we are still classmates......"

Burst...... Li Yuanying laughed directly, listening to the previous analysis in an orderly manner, she had the aura of a wise female military teacher, and in the next second, what the hell was her classmate? The style of painting has changed abruptly, and you still say that you are not a little girl?

"Oh no, King Qin, His Royal Highness King Qin...... Quick, help, little princess, little princess has an accident......" The old man from the grocery store at the mouth of the alley rushed to the door of the tavern in a panic and shouted.

Li Yuanying stood up suddenly, "What did you say?" What's wrong with Doudou? ”

Shopkeeper Hu pointed to the outside and stammered: "I went back to my hometown just now and passed by ......."

"Don't talk nonsense, what about the Doudou Man?"

"In West Market Snack Alley!"

"Xiao Hei, hurry up and come out with me!" Li Yuanying put his fingers in his mouth and blew a loud whistle, shouting into the backyard. Xiao Hei is the name of the dark cloud stepping on the snow in Xiao Doudou's photo.

"No, the little princess was kidnapped! I saw with my own eyes a group of black-clothed masked people did it, in the middle of the alley, the poisonous smoke put down the fox, with a black bag to take the pocket, I rushed over to try to rescue, but the other party will fly the eaves and walk the wall, and when I run closer, there is no one in sight, and there is only a foxy lying on the ground. ”

What??? Cui Mingyue passed out directly.
