Chapter 389: Cousin

"They went to Kuizhou, and it must have arrived now." Li Shimin had a rare time and talked about gossip with Empress Changsun. Zhinu, Yizi, and Princess Hengshan, who had just turned two years old, were all obediently gathered around, roasting the fire and playing.

"Kuizhou?" Empress Changsun gently hugged her youngest daughter, looked up at Li Shimin, and sighed softly: "At such a distance, it seems that these two girls are determined to celebrate the New Year outside. This year, if there is no Yuzhang in the palace, it will be much quieter. And if she hasn't seen her for so long, she will be less joking around me, my heart has always seemed very empty."

"Yes," Li Shimin took a sip of warm tea and sighed: "But since she likes it, let her go. It's not a solution to trap her in the palace all day long, as long as they are not dangerous outside."

If he hadn't been afraid that Yu Zhang would get sick in the palace, Li Shimin would not have been willing to let his precious daughter be far away during the Chinese New Year.

"What the emperor said is, but I still can't help but worry that the few women were just wandering outside like this, which made people feel at ease." Emperor Changsun's expression was a little sad. If it weren't for the haggard and melancholy appearance before, she wouldn't have asked her to leave the palace to play. The child Yuzhang's heart was also clear about the pain in her mother-in-law.

Twenty years old is already an old girl in the eyes of many people. Even if you can get married, you will inevitably be disliked by others. What's more, you can't have children. A woman who can't give birth to a woman can't live comfortably even if she gets married. The mother is precious by her son, and the mother is precious by her son. This statement is not only applicable to the palace, but also among the wealthy families.

Therefore, although Li Shimin and Empress Changsun both said that they would find a good husband's family for Yuzhang, it would be difficult if they really wanted to find a happy and happy one.

It was the boy from the Gongsun family who was previously very infatuated, and his character and temperament were very consistent with the wishes of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, but such infatuation alone was not enough. Gongsun's mansion was a noble family and a single generation, and it was inevitable that the fragrance would continue to rise. If Yu Zhang really married into the Gongsun Mansion, it would be hard for Empress Changsun to imagine how Yu Zhang would be treated by his parents-in-law and Gongsun Helan's concubines and children in the future.

Empress Changsun has a deep understanding of the impact of children on a woman. Not to mention herself, the concubines in the palace who have no children are enough to make people feel heartbroken. Empress Changsun does not want Yu Zhang to suffer such suffering and cold treatment.

"There are people who secretly protect them, so the queen doesn't have to worry," Li Shimin comforted Queen Changsun softly: "Those secret guards will regularly send back the comments about Ru'er and the others to the palace. I will ask Li Ran to give instructions and ask them to send them to the queen directly."

"Well, thank you, Your Majesty!" Empress Changsun nodded slightly to Li Shimin. Seeing that Hengshan in her arms was already asleep, she gently handed her over to the palace maid on the side to place her on the couch.

"Di Zhixun has been taking care of Kuizhou in recent years," Li Shimin looked at his little daughter's cute sleeping face gently and said to Empress Changsun softly: "The Di family and the Su family are family friends. When they go to Kuizhou this time, the little girl from the Su family will definitely go to Di's house to visit. In this way, by the end of the New Year, they will eventually have a settlement and will not be too lonely."

"In this way, I'll be relieved." Empress Changsun's eyes showed a hint of comfort. Seeing that Li Shimin's tea bowl was empty, she stood up and picked up the pot and poured a bowl for Li Shimin.

"Oh, by the way," put down the teapot and sat down gently. Empress Changsun seemed to remember something again and said to Li Shimin: "After the New Year, Wu Mei wants to go back to her hometown in Bingzhou to visit her relatives and worship her father. Her god also wants to go and see her. I wonder what the emperor means?"

"It is all right to go home to visit relatives and worship ancestors. If you want to go with her, let him go. In the past few months, my god has been busy with official duties and has taken care of many errands for me. I have no time to have a chance to go out for a walk. It's a way to relax." Li Shimin picked up the tea bowl and said softly: "It's just that the Crown Princess is just pregnant, so you should be more careful when you move."

"Well, the emperor said it." Empress Changsun nodded gently with a smile. From Li Shimin's words, she could have heard that Li Shimin was now very satisfied with the prince's performance in recent times. Seeing that his son had a promising ability, Empress Changsun, who was a mother, was not unhappy.

However, while being happy, Empress Changsun had a sudden feeling of dreams. Half a year ago, when she was seriously ill and the prince was still lame, how could she and the prince still have such a day?

Liu Yi.

The name of the benefactor once again appeared in Queen Changsun's mind. While she was happy and satisfied, she also became more and more grateful to the miracle Doctor Liu Yi. If it weren't for the time being, it was not only her, but she was afraid that even the prince would have died for a long time.

"Miss, don't practice it, okay? It's so boring to write these things." Bajiao had a bitter face, held a brush in his hand, and looked at their ladies with a begging face. At the same time, she kept cursing Liu Yi viciously in her heart. She ate half a fly when eating, ate fish bones to her throat, and stepped on something when walking. Anyway, there was nothing good.

"No!" Su Chenxi put his hands on her back and said to Bajiao firmly: "If you don't finish practicing, you won't be allowed to sleep tonight!"

"But, Miss, I have been practicing for almost ten days, and the words I wrote are not the same as before. Liu Yi's method has no effect at all," Bajiao put down the brush, rubbed his hands lightly, looked at their ladies pitifully, and said softly: "Miss, my hands are almost swollen, painful and itchy. I really can't practice anymore. Miss, you can do it. Let's not practice again, okay?"

Looking at his swollen little hands, Bajiao cursed at Liu Yi in his heart.

Since the last time they parted with Luo Binwang at Huanghe Tower, Bajiao has ushered in her miserable life under the pressure of their ladies, practicing calligraphy, and writing some boring simple strokes. She was in the carriage during the day and in the guest room at night. Apart from eating and sleeping, she almost stopped for a moment. This little girl Bajiao is almost ready to die.

"You, okay, okay, go and rest for a while," Su Chenxi finally couldn't beat Bajiao's pitiful eyes, and her heart softened.

"Thank you, Miss!" Almost happily jumped, Bajiao trotted to Su Chenxi, reached out to bake on the stove in front of Su Chenxi, and started to cook. After grabbing the pen for so long, her hands were really stiff.

"Only after suffering, you will be the best. You can't stand it after suffering so much. How can you achieve anything in the future?" Su Chenxi looked at Bajiao, shook her head lightly, and said, "I remember when my grandfather taught me calligraphy, he was much more harsh than I am now. He was hot, cold, sour and numb. Didn't he survive any of them?"

"Miss," Bajiao rubbed her hands lightly and said to Su Chenxi: "Bajiao is just a little girl. Washing clothes, cooking, combing her hair, and serving the lady is my duty. What's the use of practicing this?"

"And," Bajiao Xiao gritted her teeth and complained in a low voice: "The practice of Liu Yi's strokes has no effect at all, it is completely torture!"

"It's useless, that's because you're too stupid and you can't blame others!" A tender voice came from the door. Then, the little boy pushed the door and came in from outside with Li Rusi. He looked at Bajiao and said provocatively: "If Mr. Liu's teaching method is invalid, how did Luo Binwang practice it? Mr. Su said earlier that he had entered the house after only half a year of practice, and he had the style of everyone."

"Little boy!" Li Rusi turned her head and scolded Xiao Tong, letting him stay aside honestly. Every day, she listened to these two little maids quarrel, which made her head grow twice.

"Okay, you go and continue practicing. If there is still no effect in another half a month, I will not force you anymore." Su Chenxi stood up, sent Bajiao back to the table again, then bowed to Li Rusi lightly, and asked him to sit together in front of the stove.

"In two days, I will arrive at Fengjie ground," Li Rusi smiled and glanced at Bajiao, and said softly to Su Chenxi: "I don't know what Brother Su has to do?"

"Of course we'll go to the Chief Secretary's Mansion first," Su Chenxi said to Li Rusi: "If you put your feet there, it will be more lively at the end of the year. However, after arriving at Di's Mansion, we are afraid that we will resume women's clothing. Uncle Di should be afraid of our dress like this."

"It's okay. In Fengjie, no one should have seen me," Li Ru nodded indifferently, and then asked Su Chenxi softly: "But, my identity..."

"You are my distant cousin," Su Chenxi said, showing that he had already been thinking about it: "Although Uncle Di is a family friend of my family, he is not very clear about some relatives from the side-family house of the Su family. He should be no problem saying that he is a cousin."
