The next day, Emperor Yuan Cheng, in order to reward the soldiers who fought in the southwest campaign, specially ordered Guanglu Temple to hold a banquet for thousands of people in the palace, where the emperor and his ministers would have fun together. After the consideration of the officials of Guanglu Temple, the banquet was naturally held in the grand and vast

The Linde Hall did not lose the majesty of the country. Because only Emperor Yuan Cheng and the civil and military dynasties were present at the banquet,

Ministers, as female family members, Empress Yang and the concubines were naturally not suitable to attend. Li Sui thought that he had not been in the palace for a while, and now his first-class marriage was temporarily over, so he went to invite his aunt Li early in the morning.

An, then took Niannu and Yunu to the palace.

As soon as he arrived at the Li Zheng Hall, the layout of the hall was as before, but Li Sui felt that it was much brighter and more lively. There was no longer the dull and suffocating herbal smell before. Instead, the faint fragrance of flowers made people feel relaxed and happy. Under the leadership of Gong E, Li Sui came to the side hall.

, I only saw Queen Yang

She looks good, wearing a magenta brocade embroidered chest-length palace satin skirt with wide sleeves. Her right hand is lazily leaning on the armrest of the couch. Sitting next to her is Shangguan Zhaoyi, who is wearing a goose yellow twist gold embroidered rose waist-length pleated skirt. She is holding a

This booklet seems to be discussing something with Queen Yang.

Seeing Li Sui coming, Queen Yang waved with gentle eyes, and Shangguan Zhaoyi on the side naturally looked over. Li Sui stepped forward and bowed respectfully and gracefully, and Queen Yang said: "Aman, come quickly.

"

Seeing Empress Yang stretching out her hand, Li Sui smiled and stepped forward. Shangguan Zhaoyi stood up and saluted with a wink, saying: "Since the princess has come to the palace to accompany your highness, I will not bother you anymore."

Empress Yang raised her hand when she heard the sound, and said naturally and solemnly in her words: "You have troubled yourself these days for Tubo Zanpu and Princess Pengcheng to come to Chang'an. All the regulations will be as you just said. I and the saint

Since I leave this matter to you, I can rest assured."

"yes."

Shangguan Zhaoyi bowed again when he heard this, and then said: "It is my blessing to be trusted by the saint and His Highness. How dare I say troublesome words."

Seeing Shangguan Zhaoyi leave, Li Sui looked at the figure disappearing at the entrance of the palace and asked: "When will Tubo Zanpu and the eldest princess enter Chang'an?"

"Counting the days, the couple will arrive in Chang'an in about half a month."

Hearing Queen Yang's answer, Li Sui nodded thoughtfully. At this time, the little Gong'e happened to send Li Sui's favorite tea at Jiamo's instruction.

"Is Erlang feeling better these days?"

Li Sui took a chrysanthemum cake and put it to his mouth. Hearing Queen Yang's words, he nodded and looked into Queen Yang's slightly worried eyes and said, "It's better now. Sister, don't worry."

"That's good."

Queen Yang nodded, and then said with a hint of sigh: "Fortunately, Baoying is a very good child. I am relieved that Erlang can be with her. I just hope that Erlang will not get into trouble."

Seeing that the young lady in front of her just nodded silently, Empress Yang stopped saying anything, reached out and stroked Li Sui's hair and said: "Now that Erlang's marriage has been settled, you should also pay more attention to your own."

Listening to Empress Yang talking about these, Li Sui immediately felt that the chrysanthemum cake in his hand had become bland and tasteless.

Although she didn't want to admit it, what Sister A said was true. Now that Yang Yan and Baoying's relationship was settled, her marriage would probably become more complicated.

For Empress Yang, it was natural that she would be happy to marry someone who loved and understood each other. But for Yang Chongyuan and her aunt, her marriage might not be that simple.

As for her, she already had her own plans for her marriage.

Li Sui knew very well in her heart at this moment that now that she was free from the Yang family, she could never choose someone based on personal preference. If she wanted to truly protect Aye Aniang's safety and protect the people she wanted to protect, in this turbulent time

To do what she wants to do in troubled times, she must have the power.

Now, all she has is the title of princess and the fiefdom that guarantees her wealth. But if you look deeper, you will find that all of these are just given by others. They seem to be beautiful, but in fact they are very illusory.

Because once it is stripped away, there will be nothing left of her except this so-called noble bloodline.

Therefore, she did not dare to tell Queen Yang that she was destined to have a political marriage in this life just like the previous one.

The only difference was that she had no choice in the past, everything was arranged for her by others.

But now, she wants to keep this choice firmly in her own hands.

Therefore, for her, getting married is not so much about marrying two surnames as it is about finding an ally who has common interests, can complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, and can go hand in hand.

After all, others can wish for a lifetime of love. It is a blessing for others to only talk about romance and unwavering love. But if she has lived two lives and is in such a situation, and still has such extravagant hopes, it will be like a knife.

Dancing is like using this life to make a romantic bet.

Fortunately, love for her is nothing.

It's not a bad thing to never have someone you like.

At least, she can be carefree and strong without desires.

…

When night fell, Li Sui was left in the palace by Queen Yang to have dinner, and then went back home. When the carriage stopped at the east gate of the Taiwei Mansion, the night was gradually falling. With the support of Nian Nu, Li Sui

After getting off the carriage, we headed towards Wu Bamboo Garden. In the midsummer night, with a cool breeze blowing by my ears, I saw the tassel-embedded silk lamps being lit one after another, and the shadows of the lamps fell on the tile eaves and green trees in the house.

, exuding a warm light.

When they reached the cobblestone road in front of a hanging arch gate, Li Sui and his servant saw a familiar figure standing under the green leaves of the wisteria climbing on the stone gate.

"Yinniang?"

The woman heard the sound and looked over, with a rare look of anxiety in her usually calm eyes. It was obvious that she had been waiting for a long time on her way back to the hospital.

"When you come back now, the princess hasn't eaten yet."

When she got closer, Yin Niang bowed respectfully and spoke as usual, as if the anxiety that had just passed by was a blur.

But Li Sui knew that something must have happened if Yin Niang was so abnormal.

"Today, I made camel roast in the small kitchen of Chaolu Courtyard. My wife knew that the county master liked this the most, so she asked the servant to wait here and invite the county master to come back and have dinner with her."

Hearing this, Li Sui smiled, nodded and said, "My aunt always loves me. If I say this hump roast, it is the people from Chaoluyuan who do it best."

As he spoke, Li Sui and Yin Niang walked towards Chaolu Courtyard together.

When the maid opened the curtain, Li Sui could feel a refreshing chill as soon as he walked in. Li Sui and Yin Niang looked at each other, and then saw Yin Niang frowning slightly and shaking her head in embarrassment.

"But after he has done some meritorious service, she, Mrs. Cao, regards her son as a treasure."

Through a carved door, Aunt Li's sneer voice came from inside, and even Li Sui could hear the unconcealed contempt in her aunt's mother tongue, which was always dignified and self-possessed.

It can be seen that he is very angry.

"Her Cao family is just from a small and humble clan. If her father hadn't followed Yang Chongyuan to conquer the world, how could he be in the position of servant shooter today if he didn't follow Yang Chongyuan and get an important position? Now look at his good son who made the first contribution to suppress the rebellion in the southwest and was granted the title of Marquis

, but now that you have a better perspective, you actually dare to think about Aman and take ideas from her?"

Hearing this, Li Sui, who was standing outside the curtain, was suddenly shocked.

If she doesn't understand the meaning at this moment, her life will be in vain.

But she clearly remembered that this had never happened in her previous life.
