Li Sheng patted Xuan Qi on the shoulder and gave Xuan Qi a hug, and the father and son smiled at each other and slowly walked out of the palace. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Not long after the father and son left the palace, a holy decree followed, but the holy decree only mentioned one thing, that is, Li Rui personally married Xuanqi and Yuqing, so that the two could get married on a certain date.

After some discussion, in order to allow the Yan patriarch who was far away in Yunnan to have enough time to come, the wedding date was set for the ninth day of September. As for some matters related to the marriage, naturally there are Steward Liu's father and son, as well as Zhan Dashan, who came to the palace and followed Steward Liu's work, to deal with it, but there is no need for Xuan Qi to worry about it.

For more than half a year, the father and son have been busy with the war, but now they finally have a chance to rest. Especially Xuan Qi, who is unofficial and light at the moment, feels refreshed all over, and can finally do some of his own things.

Back at the palace, Xuan Qi immediately called Chu Lin and ordered two important things. One is to continue to search for the whereabouts of Grandpa Xia Xingyun, after so many years, I don't know where my grandfather is? Xuan Qi always felt a little uneasy, but he always didn't believe what he thought in his heart.

The second thing is to pay close attention to the Celestial Divine Cult's every move, especially to find out whether the Celestial Divine Cult is secretly colluding with several surrounding countries. Ever since Li Rui listed the Heavenly Divine Cult as a cult, although many followers of the Heavenly Divine Cult have been arrested in various places, the clues have always been quickly broken. Today's Heavenly God Cult has been forced to go underground, but I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

In addition, Xuan Qi began to teach a group of disciples every day. His sister Xinchen, daughter Qiqi, Chu Lin of the Beggars Gang, Ji Ying, the apprentice who just received, and Zhanlong, who didn't know anything, and Liu Luoluo's eldest son, Tao Zhili, who was only five years old. Even the crown prince Li Zhe often came to learn two tricks. As for Liu Luoluo's youngest daughter Tao Zhihua, she is only two years old, but she plays with Qingqing on weekdays, and the two are naturally not old enough to practice martial arts.

As for Yuqing, when he first arrived at the palace, he was also welcomed by everyone. Especially the old princess and Xia Xuejing, they are extremely happy that Xuan Qi can marry one more daughter-in-law and add more children and grandchildren to the Li family in the future.

There is only Xia Lingshuang, and it is inevitable that there will be some pimples in her heart. But Xia Lingshuang also knew Xuanqi's difficulties, and also knew that Yuqing played a great role in Xuanqi's pacification of South Vietnam, so naturally he would not blame Xuanqi, but would take the initiative to find some opportunities to get along with Yuqing and enhance some understanding.

As for the heartless Qiqi, naturally he will not have any opinion on having one more aunt to love himself.

At first, Xuan Qi was worried that Yuqing, who had a straightforward temperament, would be a little uncomfortable with the life of the palace, but he didn't expect that Yuqing would only come to the palace for five or six days, and he would finish the whole family.

Yuqing's small mouth is extremely sweet, and before she officially married Xuan Qi, she began to call her grandmother, father, and aunt non-stop, which naturally made the old princess and Li Sheng husband and wife, as well as Li Xing's princess Qin Yingying, happy to close their mouths. And the happiest thing for several elders is to get together and listen to Yuqing tell about interesting things big and small with Xuan Qi in the first battle of Pingnan.

As for Xia Lingshuang, Yuqing is also very respectful, not only does her sister keep calling, but also helps Xia Lingshuang to play around with Qingqing, who has just passed her first birthday.

As a result, such a scene often appears near the capital. Xia Lingshuang and Yuqing, with Qiqi and Qingqing, traveled around, of course, occasionally brought Li Xinchen. But he never let Xuan Qi follow, but completely left Xuan Qi out in the cold, just like Xuan Qi was not a member of this family. Xuan Qi could only complain to Xia Lingshuang at night and shake up his husband.

At the end of July, good news finally came from the war in the northwest. Li Xing's army broke through the city of Liangzhou, the rebels were defeated, and Li Xing's army was directly pursued to the west of Dunhuang, and was attacked by the Western Regions coalition army that came to show goodwill to the Celestial Empire. The rebels eventually had less than 80,000 horses left, and fled north in the desert to the Xiongnu.

And the beggar gang also came with news that Sanji, the national teacher of Tubo, was defeated in the battle to assist Kunzan for the throne, and the two were missing. And all this happened in March, and the news of the blockade of Tibet has only now reached the capital.

Xuan Qi didn't dare to slack off and told Li Sheng the news. Li Sheng was also worried that the new lord of Tubo would take the throne, and he was afraid that the situation would change, so he immediately attacked the palace overnight and discussed with Li Rui.

That night, Li Sheng flew pigeons overnight to pass the book, asking Li Xing, who was about to return to the court, to postpone his trip and pay close attention to the movements of Tibet. At the same time, he ordered Sichuan, Shu and Yunnan to assemble their armies towards the border to strictly prevent changes.

Sure enough, seven days later, news came that the 300,000-strong army of Tubo had assembled on the northern plateau. Originally, Tubo wanted to take advantage of the war in the northwest of the Celestial Empire to come and get a piece of the pie. Unexpectedly, the army had just been assembled, and the war in the northwest had been pacified. In addition to Sichuan, Shu and Yunnan, the army pressed the border, and the new king of Tubo had to order the newly assembled army to retreat.

Li Xing traveled all the way and finally returned to the capital the day before August 15. The people of the capital welcomed themselves, and the ministers of civil and military affairs praised Li Xing for having the style of his father Li Hu. The treatment when Xuan Qi returned to the dynasty on the same day is not the same as that of the day.

On August 15, the palace can be regarded as a family reunion. Except for Xia Xingyun, who has not yet heard news, Xia Chongxiao and Liu Luoluo couple, as well as the "Four Heroes of the Tianshan Mountains", are still in the capital. Although Luo Lie, who was far away in Yunnan, did not arrive, Li Zhilan also rushed to the capital in advance with Luo Wen and Luo Lin, sisters and brothers.

At the family banquet in the palace in the north of the town, dozens of people sat together, and even the guards, servants, maids, and cooks, as long as they were not busy, gathered together with everyone in the palace. The palace has begun to prosper over the years, and the old princess is full of children and grandchildren, naturally smiling all day long, and for the people in the palace, they are naturally smiling and very kind.

After August 15, the palace also began to be really busy for the marriage of Xuanqi and Yuqing. This time, there were not many guests, most of them were some generals in the army. For example, Zhuge Yunzhi, a disciple of Xuanqi, and some generals who had intersections with Xuanqi in the battles of Yanmen Pass, Northwest, and Pingnan. As for Qian Chaoxian, because he was named the garrison general of Nanyue Province by the imperial court, he still had a lot of things to deal with, but he couldn't come in person, so he only let his younger brother Qian Chaoyi bring a generous gift and go to congratulate.

As for the ministers in the court, except for some worldly friends, Xuan Qi simply didn't invite them. This is naturally not because of these Wenchen's verbal criticism of him at the beginning, but because Xuan Qi didn't want to see the ugly faces of these people.
