Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    March in spring is the time when Chang'an's scenery is beautiful. Flowers are blooming everywhere in the gardens of wealthy people in the city. The Qujiang Pool in the southeast is crowded with tourists. Even on both sides of the cement avenue outside Mingde Gate,  The small willow tree planted back then has grown into a shade tree. The breeze blows and thousands of green branches dance. It looks graceful and graceful, like a girl wearing gauze in the Jiangnan water town.

    This eastbound cement avenue is the road leading to Luoyang. It is also one of the busiest trade routes in the Tang Dynasty. Countless horse-drawn carriages travel between the two places every day. Especially in spring, the road is even busier.  Incomparably, both sides of the road are lined with various small vendors, making a small fortune during this busy season.

    However, today on this crowded cement road, there was a large-scale convoy moving forward. This convoy was led by a hundred-man cavalry, under the banner of Prince Qi's Palace, followed by more than a dozen large vehicles, and in  In the middle of these vehicles is an extraordinarily wide carriage. The window on the left side of the vehicle is open, revealing the face of a lively girl, who is curiously looking at the people on both sides of the road with her beautiful big eyes.  Condition.

    "Grandma, look outside. We haven't even arrived at Chang'an City, and it's already so lively. I think it will be even more prosperous than before when we get to the city." The girl said very excitedly.  She was Cai'er who had returned to Chang'an from Taiwan. Besides her, Empress Xiao was also in the car.

    "I haven't been back for a few years. The willow trees on this road have grown so big, and there are so many people doing small businesses on the road. When we left Chang'an, there was no such scene!" Queen Xiao in the car  I looked at the scene outside.  Said with some emotion.  Her health was getting worse day by day, and she had to hurry up to find a good husband for Cai'er.

    Actually, Cai'er didn't know that Empress Xiao chose a husband for her.  She only knew that she and her grandmother had lived with her cousin for a few years, and that her grandmother wanted to live in Chang'an.  That's why I asked her to come back together. Although Cai'er preferred Taiwan to Chang'an, after all, it was her birthplace, but thinking that her grandmother was old and there were no relatives around her, she came back without hesitation.

    The carriages on the cement road were flowing like a stream. Even if the left and right lanes were separated, the speed still could not increase.  There are even some impatient car owners who only rush to drive, and as a result, vehicle collisions occur. In some serious cases, the car overturns, causing injuries to the people in the car.  Fortunately, when Empress Xiao came back this time, Li Min sent two hundred guards, who were now guarding her front and back. Coupled with the banner of Prince Qi's palace, no one dared to approach without opening their eyes.

    It was almost noon when the convoy finally arrived outside Mingde Gate.  Speaking of which, Queen Xiao's status is very special.  Although she is Li Min's maternal grandmother, she is also the former empress of the Sui Dynasty, so in order to avoid suspicion, Empress Xiao has always kept a low profile.  When he came back this time, he didn't tell anyone, not even Concubine Yang knew about it.  Therefore, it stands to reason that no one should greet him.

    But just when the motorcade arrived in front of the city gate.  However, a team riding tall horses came forward. The leader of this team was a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old.  Although he looks a little thin, he is handsome and has an outstanding temperament. He is different from the ordinary at first glance. As for the young man behind him, there are all extremely strong men, and everyone has a sense of blood. It seems that  He should be this boy's guard.

    When the guards in front of Queen Xiao's motorcade saw the young man coming on horseback, they immediately straightened up on their horses and controlled their horses to move to both sides to clear a path.  Naturally, the only person who could make Li Min's guards be so respectful was the current Prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi.

    Cai'er on the carriage seemed to have known that Li Zhi was coming. She poked her head out of the window with a smile. However, when she saw the handsome young man on the horse, her face turned red and she looked at Li Zhi.  There was also a bit more shyness in his eyes.

    Li Zhi, who came on horseback, couldn't help but trembled when he saw the beautiful girl at the window. When Cai'er left Chang'an, she was just a ten-year-old girl, but when they met again five years later, she was  She has grown into a graceful girl, and is even more beautiful than she imagined.

    When Li Zhi and Cai'er first met, although Li Zhi was only twelve years old at the time and didn't know much about the relationship between men and women, he already had a slightly different feeling towards Cai'er. It's a pity that the two of them had been together for less than a year.  , Cai'er's father Yang Jian passed away, and Cai'er has been living with Li Min ever since. However, even so, the connection between Li Zhi and Cai'er has not been broken. The two of them have been sending letters through Hongyan.  Tell each other about their lives.

    For example, in the case of Li Zhi, as the prince, he shoulders too many important responsibilities, and there are some things that he cannot tell others at all, but he has nothing to hide from Cai'er. Whether he is happy or sad, he will be the first to do so.  I thought of writing a letter to Cai'er and sharing my thoughts with Cai'er. Perhaps it is this distance in space., but it brought the two of them closer together, and the news of Cai'er's return was also told by Cai'er in a letter.

    Although Li Zhi was a little surprised to see Cai'er, he quickly reacted, rode his horse to the carriage, then dismounted, and said to Cai'er with a smile: "Cai'er, I haven't seen you in a few years, how are you?  Really? I heard that Sixth Brother has two sons. Isn¡¯t that cute?¡±

    Hearing Li Zhi first ask if she was okay, Cai'er couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart, but she deliberately made an angry expression on her face and said: "Humph, of course I'm fine, but my cousin already has two sons, you  But I¡¯ve never been there once, and I¡¯ve never seen an uncle like you!¡±

    Li Zhi heard that Cai'er was blaming himself for not visiting her, but as a prince, it was not easy for him to even leave Chang'an, let alone go to Taiwan.  Therefore, he also said with full of grievance: "Cai'er, I have always dreamed of going to Taiwan, but look at me now, not only do I have to go to the military academy to study, but there are also a bunch of old masters forcing me to learn this and that, even writing to you  I have to squeeze in time to write letters, and sometimes I have to stay up until midnight, and there is no time to go out!"

    Hearing what Li Zhi said was pitiful, and based on her knowledge of correspondence over the past few years, Cai'er also knew that Li Zhi was telling the truth.  In fact, she didn't blame Li Zhi for not visiting her at all. It was just that the two hadn't seen each other for such a long time, and the little girl didn't know what to say, so she used this matter to embarrass Li Zhi.

    Empress Xiao didn't know about Cai'er's correspondence with Li Zhi, but she noticed something was wrong with Cai'er when she was on the carriage. The closer she got to Chang'an, the more excited she became, until she just heard a man outside talking to Cai'er.  Cai'er spoke to Cai'er, and Cai'er also acted very familiar with the other party, which surprised Queen Xiao. After all, she and Cai'er had been away from Chang'an for such a long time, and Cai'er had not stayed in Chang'an for a long time, so how could she meet a man?  Woolen cloth?

    With doubts in her heart, Queen Xiao looked out the window. When she saw it was Li Zhi, she was also startled. As a person who has experienced this, Queen Xiao could naturally see that the relationship between Cai'er and Li Zhi was unusual, but it was not too tight.  Then her expression changed drastically, and she said with a straight face to Cai'er, who had her back turned to her: "Cai'er, people on the road are talkative, please keep your manners!"

    Hearing Queen Xiao's words, Cai'er finally came to her senses. She was so frightened that she stuck out her tongue. She was only happy to see Li Zhi just now, but she forgot that they were at the gate of the city. There were people coming and going on the street. She  It is really not appropriate for an unmarried girl to joke with a man.

    Thinking of this, Cai'er immediately made a cute face to Li Zhi, and then immediately retracted her little head into the window.  Originally, she wanted to act coquettishly to Queen Xiao so that the old man wouldn't be angry, but Queen Xiao stopped the carriage and got out of the carriage with the help of the maid.

    Li Zhi also heard what Empress Xiao said in the car, and felt a little embarrassed at the time. Just when he was about to say hello to Empress Xiao, he saw the other party getting off the carriage. Then he saw Empress Xiao saluting him and saying, "I am here with my granddaughter."  When I returned to Chang'an, I unexpectedly ran into His Highness the Crown Prince, and I asked His Highness to forgive me for being disrespectful!"

    Seeing that although Empress Xiao was very polite, she felt like she was repelling people thousands of miles away. This made Li Zhi feel a little uncomfortable for a while, so he could only reply dryly: "Mrs. Sui Guo, there is no need to be polite, I  I came here specially to welcome Cai'er back to Chang'an!"

    Although Li Zhi pointed out that he came specially to greet him, Queen Xiao seemed not to hear it and still lowered her head and said: "Your Highness is busy with official duties, and our grandparents and grandchildren are really tired after traveling all the way. So, I just talked with Your Highness."  Don¡¯t pass!¡±

    After Empress Xiao finished speaking, she didn't care about Li Zhi's reaction and asked someone to help her get on the carriage. Then she gave an order and the convoy started again, leaving Li Zhi and his party there. Cai'er didn't know why her grandmother treated Li Zhi.  Being so cold, she stuck her head out of the window anxiously and looked at Li Zhi with a look of reluctance. However, she was quickly pulled into the car by Queen Xiao and sat down. No matter how coquettish she was, it was useless.

    Li Zhi, on the other hand, looked at Cai'er's convoy going away, but he stood blankly on his horse, with the expression on his face changing. He wanted to chase but didn't dare to chase her. After a while, he suddenly sighed and lowered his head.  He didn't say anything and looked indescribably desolate.

    At the same time, Empress Changsun in the Taiji Palace also received news that Li Zhi had come to pick up someone outside the city. However, when she heard that the person Li Zhi was greeting turned out to be Empress Xiao's granddaughter Yang Caier, her brows suddenly wrinkled.  After a long time, he finally ordered: "Come, go and invite Concubine Yang!"

    Concubine Yang in Wangyun Palace also received the news of Queen Xiao's return at this time, and also learned that Li Zhi went to greet Cai'er in person, but after hearing this, she sighed and her expression became a little sad.  But when she heard Queen Xiao inviting her to come over, Concubine Yang hesitated for a long time, sighed again, and then left Wangyun Palace.
