Li Qinzai and Li Zhi chatted for a long time in Tai Chi Palace.
When he left the palace, Li Qinzai just stepped out of the palace gate when he heard Li Zhi order the imperial doctor to take supplements.
Li Qinzai secretly sighed. This man was really exhausted. His mother-in-law hadn't even gone out yet, so she was busy taking supplements to prepare for the battle.
Marrying a powerful wife, even as an emperor, you will suffer a lot, and only Li Zhi knows how it feels.
Back at the Duke's Mansion, Qiao'er was playing with Hongbi in the yard.
At a young age, Hongbi was extremely dependent on his elder brother Qiao'er. Sometimes he would lose his temper in front of his parents, but in front of Qiao'er, Hongbi was as honest as a quail, even if he was teased by Qiao'er.
He wasn't angry either, and chased Qiao'er all over the yard with a shy smile.
At this time, Qiao'er and Hongbi were lighting firecrackers in the yard.
Now that it is still the first month of the year, Li Qinzai makes an exception and allows Qiaoer to play with firecrackers, provided that safety is ensured.
Qiao'er is also very sensible. When she was playing firecrackers, she drove Hongbi far away, but he held the incense stick in his hand, lit the fuse and ran away quickly.
There was a bang, and a burst of smoke gradually dissipated. Hongbi chuckled happily in the distance, and saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth unconsciously.
Seeing Li Qinzai return home, Qiao'er put away the incense stick and stepped forward to greet him. Hongbi followed his brother's example and bent towards Li Qinzai clumsily and cutely.
Hongbi's little face was pink and tender, and water would flow out of his face when he pinched it. Li Qinzai pinched his cheek gently. Hongbi shook his head unhappily. As soon as his face shook off his hand, he lost his balance for a moment, and his chubby body moved forward.
He leaned back and landed firmly on the ground.
The sudden injury made Hongbi's little mouth shrink, and he opened his mouth to burst into tears.
Qiao'er just glanced at him lightly: "It's such a big deal, why are you crying! A man who bleeds but doesn't shed tears, how can such a delicate person become a great person?"
Hongbi immediately closed his mouth, with tears still in his eyes, but he smiled shamelessly, swayed forward like a penguin, and timidly grabbed Qiao'er's hand.
Li Qinzai couldn't help but feel happy. The relationship between the two brothers seemed to be very good. If he kicked off his own business in the future, they would probably not fight over the inheritance.
But Hongbi is a bit of a rebellious kid. It’s really hard to say whether he will dance on his grave in the future after his death.
"Dad, the New Year is almost over, when will great-grandfather return in triumph?" Qiao'er asked.
Li Qinzai touched his head and said with a smile: "Do you miss your great-grandfather?"
Qiao'er nodded and said: "The family is deserted during the Chinese New Year. My great-grandfather is away fighting, and the younger generations are worried about him. Dad once said that the New Year is celebrated when the whole family is reunited, right?"
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "Yes, the New Year is celebrated when the family is reunited. Forget it this year, my great-grandfather will definitely come back next year."
Counting the days, it was time for the Tang army to attack the Silla Kingdom. As for the reason for the attack, the cunning Li Ji might have already thought of it.
Once it attacks Silla, the war will not last long. On the Haidong Peninsula, the real enemy of the Tang army is Goguryeo, and Silla's combat power is far worse than Goguryeo.
When the Silla Kingdom is destroyed, Li Ji should be able to return to the dynasty, and the most important chess piece of Li Qinzai's century-old strategy for the Tang Dynasty will also be settled on the chessboard of the Haidong Peninsula.
"Dad, the junior brothers have said that they are coming to see you. Can the child go out to play with the junior brothers?" Qiao'er looked at Li Qinzai expectantly.
Li Qinzai was deep in thought and had not expressed his position yet, but Hongbi was very happy, pointing at Qiao'er and babbling vaguely: "Play, play!"
Qiao'er glared at him: "It's none of your business."
Hongbi kept twisting and turning, showing signs of rolling around: "No, play, play!"
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "That's all, those who are celebrating the New Year, go play with them, but the prerequisite is not to follow their bad example. Li Sujie and the others are older than you, and you don't even have a hair on your head. Don't go to inappropriate places with them." "
Qiao'er said innocently: "Dad always said that the baby's hair has not even grown. What's the use of having all the hair grown?"
"Buffering force, shock absorption and pressure reduction." Li Qinzai explained concisely and concisely.
Qiao'er looked confused and didn't understand at all.
You're right if you don't understand. If this boy shows an expression of understanding that is unique between men, Li Qinzai won't mind beating the child on New Year's Day.
…………
Midnight, backyard wing.
The husband and wife fought fiercely and there was constant fire.
With a suppressed roar: "Three, two, one, let's go!"
The couple were sweating profusely and hugging each other, panting heavily, and beads of sweat dripping down their foreheads.
"Ma'am, take a rest for a moment. Let's fight another three hundred rounds later." Li Qinzai said softly, stroking her sweaty hair.
Cui Jie rolled her eyes at him and said: "My husband was injured and returned to Beijing, but he couldn't hold it in, but I can't come back. Although my husband's injury has healed, he should take more care of himself. If the injury relapses because of my body, I will not be able to come back." A hundred deaths cannot redeem you."
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, my health should be almost better."
"Last month, my husband was still in a wheelchair..."
"How can I express my tragic and bloody battles for my country without sitting in a wheelchair? Unfortunately, since I was exposed by Your Majesty, I can no longer pretend. Originally, I planned to pretend for another six months to gather the respect of the people of Chang'an for me."
As Li Qinzai talked, he felt a little depressed, and murmured: "If I had known this, I should have cashed in on time, such as organizing a celebration to commemorate the 100th day of hemiplegia of Liaodong County Duke, and banquet guests from Chang'an. You have to pay at least one hundred guan as a gift, otherwise you will sit at the children's table."
"My husband said stupid things again, and he was really merciless when he cursed me."
Cui Jie sighed and said: "In a few days, I will pack my bags and accompany the queen to leave Chang'an for Luoyang. I will be separated from my husband for many days again."
Li Qinzai was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that Cui Jie seemed to be a third-grade imperial concubine. Empress Wu went to Luoyang Palace to worship the agricultural altar. Cui Jie had to accompany her, and Jinxiang was no exception. Although she was deprived of the title of County Lord, she could not After all, she and Prince Teng are father and daughter, and as Jin Xiang, they must also accompany him.
After a long silence, Li Qinzai's lips grew wider and wider.
Isn't this a coincidence? Isn't it? During the day today, I was still discussing with Li Zhi the happiest things about a married man, and I was secretly happy for Li Zhi.
As a result, at night, happiness came so suddenly...
The mother-in-law of the family went to Luoyang with Empress Wu, and she stayed alone in Chang'an. Wouldn't it be... that things would turn upside down? Who will hold me down...
In the dark side room, Cui Jie said coldly: "Why are you so happy, husband?"
"Ah? I'm not happy. I'm brewing a feeling of being reluctant to leave my wife."
"My husband's two rows of white teeth are shining in the room. You call this 'melancholy'? Huh! You are almost laughing out loud!"
Li Qinzai said seriously: "It's really melancholy. Everyone's physique is different, and their expressions of mood are also different. You and I have been married for many years, don't you still believe me?"
"I don't believe it!" Cui Jie suddenly turned around and said, "Husband, please put on your clothes and go to the house in Jinxiang. She has been waiting for me for half the night."
Li Qinzai was surprised and delighted: "It's so despicable. You actually fight on wheels, and you don't follow the rules of the world?"
