Chapter 19: The works of the eldest grandson
His Majesty Li Er returned to the side hall and learned that Xuan Shijing was in the stone city, he still couldn't let go. He was 20,000 to 2,000, and now he only hopes to Li Jing. Li Er sighed and forgot, let's go to Lizheng Hall for a walk.
In the Lizheng Hall, Empress Changsun was lying on the couch, holding a coil in her hand, embroidering something with a flying needle, and an envelope was placed next to it, which had been opened. It seemed that Empress Changsun had already seen the contents inside.
His Majesty Li Er walked into the Lizheng Hall, and Deyi, who was following behind, no longer shouted that His Majesty had arrived. It has become a routine for many years, but whenever Li Er came, Empress Changsun could always know that this might be the tacit understanding between the couple.
"Looking at Guanyin Maid, you are so leisurely, I am so envious." Li Er walked to Empress Changsun with a smile and sat down, picked up the teacup placed on the table and drank a sip of water. Well, it was still hot.
"Where is your idle place when you see me? Huh?" Empress Changsun asked back, not stopping her work.
Li Er put down the teacup in his hand and asked with a smile: "Where is my little rhino?"
When Queen Changsun heard Li Er ask about Wei Zi, she put down the coil on her hand and looked at His Majesty Li Er and joked: "I really don't know if you are here to see me or your precious daughter."
Upon hearing this, His Majesty Li Er laughed: "Of course I am here to see Guanyin maid, and I will also look at my little archief."
"Your Majesty is probably not to be seen today. Qingque just came over and led Zhinu and Yizi to Chengqian in the East Palace together. He said that Chengqian is not busy today. He went to gather together, and Ke'er was there too." Empress Changsun said lazily: "It's rare that they have a good relationship with each other. Your Majesty should not disturb them."
His Majesty Li Er nodded with relief: "Yes, I won't bother them." He said, feeling happy, but he was also curious, not knowing what these children were doing together.
"Guanyin maid, how do you feel recently?" His Majesty Li Er looked at Empress Changsun with concern.
"It's much better. I've been taking the medicine sent back by Jing'er, and I feel much lighter." Queen Changsun said.
Empress Changsun was in poor health. Xuan Shijing often followed Gao Junlonger to collect herbs on Kunlun Mountain at that time. He accidentally found that there was a snow lotus on the Kunlun Mountains. Although the snow lotus grew higher at altitude, it was not difficult to pick it with Gao Jun's light skills and some button ropes made by Xuan Shijing. He picked one and took it back. He asked Yuan Shoucheng to use the snow lotus as a guide to develop some good medicine for treating qi diseases. From time to time, he went up the mountain with Gao Jun and picked some for Yuan Shoucheng to prepare it and packed it back to Chang'an for Empress Changsun. Only then could he barely recuperate.
After giving birth to Princess Jinyang, Sun Simiao warned His Majesty Li Er that Empress Changsun's body must not have children, otherwise it would be in danger of life. This also made His Majesty Li Er remember it firmly. Therefore, the Xincheng Princess in history was not born...
It is precisely because Empress Changsun had good health before that Princess Jinyang's body did not have congenital deficiencies when she was born, but her body was a little weaker than ordinary people and had no major defects.
Xuan Shijing's actions accidentally saved the lives of two strange women in the Tang Dynasty.
"By the way, Guanyin maid, I just talked about the battle between my Tang Dynasty and Tubo in the court." His Majesty Li Er said.
"What's there to say about this?" Empress Changsun didn't care. The current Tang Dynasty was not the beginning of the Zhenguan period. There was nothing to say about winning a battle.
"It's different. The Tubo army dispersed 20,000 troops to Shicheng in the middle of the journey, intending to disrupt Longxi and give those ambitious people on the grassland a chance." His Majesty Li Er said: "What makes me a headache is that Cheng Chumo only brought two thousand soldiers to guard Shicheng, and Jing'er is also in Shicheng now."
"Jing'er is also in the stone city?" Empress Changsun looked surprised: "Where did he go?"
"I wrote that I was going back to Chang'an. The Censor Li Yi Mansion calculated that the past two days, it happened to be in Shicheng. Today in the court, Li Yi Mansion participated in the Ministry of War, saying that the Ministry of War concealed the matter and did not report it, so he also pulled Jing'er out." Speaking here, Li Er said in a deep voice: "I have sent 800 miles to inform Li Jing to make a quick battle and decide quickly, so that the current dilemma of Shicheng can be solved."
"Actually, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much about the Shicheng side. One Cheng Chumo and the other Xuan Shijing, the 20,000 Tubo army can't do anything to them. Cheng Chumo has followed Duke Lu to fight in the army since he was a child. He is also a veteran in the army. As for Jing'er, Empress Changsun chuckled: "Jing'er has been very careful and has a good brain since he was a child. In recent years, he has been in Western Kunlun. Although he has followed Master Yuan to cultivate his character, he has not lost anything that he should learn. When he saw people from his mansion delivering things to the Western Regions, he brought a large box of books? That's all collected by Your Majesty, and it's all the child Jing'er."
"Jing'er is so smart and studious, she will definitely become a great man in the future. She hasn't seen him for more than ten years, and I don't know what this child is now." His Majesty Li Er sighed, the sun and the moon are flying.
Empress Changsun picked up the envelope placed beside her and handed it to His Majesty Li Er: "Hey, look, this is the letter Jing'er came from a few days ago."
"Hmm? Jing'er is back from writing a letter? Why don't I know?" His Majesty Li Er took the envelope from Empress Changsun's hand and took out the letter paper inside: "The words are really not very good."
"Your Majesty has been busy fighting with Tubo these days, and is thinking about Goguryeo, so there is no time to pay attention to Jing'er's affairs." Empress Changsun said: "If Li Yifu had not talked about the war in Tubo today and involved Jing'er, Your Majesty would have not known Jing'er's whereabouts."
His Majesty Li Er coughed twice awkwardly and said, "Who said that, why don't I know? Isn't this cross stitch done by Jing'er?"
It turned out that the coil in Queen Changsun's hand was cross-stitch. Xuan Shijing received a letter from Queen Changsun and knew that he was bored in the palace all day long, so he remembered the work his cousin did in the later generations. Yes, it was cross-stitch. He found an excuse to say that the people in Yutian Town would use cross-stitches to sew clothes. This needle method was concise and clear, and it was very fast to embroider. Xuan Shijing made a set of cross-stitches and gave it to Queen Changsun.
It is said to be cross stitch, but it is not like the specialized style fabrics like later generations. Xuan Shijing found a large piece of white cloth, drew two Pikachus, one forward and one reverse, and put the paint on it, found the lines of the corresponding color, and asked Long'er to write about how to embroider, and then packed them together to give them to Empress Changsun.
Who would have thought that in the past, I just played cross stitch in the Lizheng Hall and Pikachu.
ps:umr modified the birth year of Princess Jinyang and just read it as a novel. This is not a serious history book...
