    When the time slowly reached seven quarters before sunrise, the clock outside the Zhai Palace rang immediately, and the gate of the Zhai Palace slowly opened. Under the guard of Li Yuanfang and many other guards, I walked out of the Zhai Palace.  Out of the palace, out of the imperial city, out of Chang'an.  Well, you read it right. This is how I measured my steps with my legs step by step from the Zhai Palace to the moment I, who had been dragged out of the warm quilt, started to drive to the Circular Mound Altar.  The Zhai Palace in the palace goes all the way south, taking his grandmother's seven or eight miles. Fortunately, the civil and military ministers, like me, can only rely on their legs to measure the distance.  Until we cross the entire city of Chang'an and arrive at the Yuanqiu Altar in the suburbs, which is a large mound of earth where we offer sacrifices to the sky, which was called dew sacrifice in ancient times.  Seven or eight miles away, this was definitely not an easy job, and it was still the twelfth lunar month of winter. The knife-like cold wind in the early morning made people's cheeks hurt, but luckily, everyone managed to reach the Circular Mound Altar.  There are seven groups of sacred altars in the Circular Mound Altar, and each group of sacred altars is made of azure satin to form a temporary temple.  On the north side of the upper center stone, there is a main tablet - Huang Tian Shen Shen, whose tablet is in the shape of a polygonal cone.  On the east and west sides of the altar on the second floor are tablets for the sun, moon, stars, clouds, rain, wind and thunder. The sacred tablets are rectangular. In front of the altar are jade, silk, whole cattle, whole sheep, whole hogs, wine, fruits, dishes, etc.  Lots of offerings.  There are more than 700 vessels for holding sacrifices and various ritual vessels used.  There is a blessing table on the south side of the central stone on the upper floor, and the emperor's place of worship is located directly south of the upper and middle platforms.  On the east and west sides of the steps just south of the Circular Mound Altar, there are 16 kinds of Zhonghe Shao music composed of chimes, chimes, and bells, and more than 60 musical instruments. They are neatly arranged and solemn and spectacular.  First, officials from the Ministry of Rites to offer sacrifices to heaven jumped up and started chirping, then a group of worshipers chirped there, and various music started to be played. After a long time, it was finally my turn to play.  Wearing the emperor's crown and robes, I stood on the Circular Mound Altar, holding a jade pendant in my hand and facing the sky for a while. I also read according to the small note Fang Xuanling pushed me over. After doing it for a long time,  I finally completed the ritual of worshiping the heaven, and then started to climb back. Well, fortunately, I had to walk when I came, but there is no restriction when I go back. I finally have the opportunity to get into my four-wheeled carriage.  Happily, I hugged the stove and took a good nap.  As for the carriage, of course it did not continue to drive into the palace. Instead, after entering Chang'an, it turned directly and ran to my home. After getting off the carriage, I stretched out a lot and guarded outside the palace gate, wrapped in plate armor.  In the middle, the guards in burqas all raised their guns to salute me.  After nodding slightly towards them, I strode into the mansion. Although I hadn't been home for just a few days, after I walked into the mansion, I felt a sense of joy of seeing each other again after a long absence, especially when I just stepped into the mansion.  When I walked quietly to the bedroom in the small courtyard, a sense of anticipation filled my heart.  Reaching out and pushing the door gently Damn, the door was locked. It looked like Yaoguang and the others were still resting. It was a bit early at this time.  Li Yuanfang looked at me and asked in a low voice: "Sir, would you like me to knock on the door and wake up Madam?" "Forget it, it's broad daylight now, I'd better go to the study and make do." I couldn't see Yao.  Sister Guang and the others still felt quite regretful in their hearts, but they decided to forget it. If they called the door now, they would have to wait until they were busy dressing up before they dared to open the door. They might as well go to the study and lie down for a while.  When I entered the study, I felt a warmth rushing towards my face. I couldn't help but let out a light sigh. After throwing the cloak on my body to Li Yuanfang, I walked to the stove and touched the kettle on the stove. It was indeed hot.  , the fire in the stove was covered, and small flames sprang up from time to time.  This fire must have been covered by Sister Qingxia. She picked up the poker and poked it through, and immediately she could feel a burst of heat coming out of the stove.  I put down the kettle and put it on the stove, walked to the desk, and saw placed on the desk the script of a play I had written in the past. The one placed near the desk had already been copied in half.  The paper, judging from the handwriting, should belong to Yaoguang girl.  I couldn¡¯t help but raise the corners of my mouth briskly, admiring their handwriting, and the warmth in my heart seemed to be a bit higher than the temperature in the room.  I seem to see the two of them admiring these works of mine in the study. While admiring and discussing, they also copied the deleted and altered manuscripts for me. How can such a woman not make me feel pity in my heart?  ?  In the hazy moment, I heard a crisp and cheerful voice whispering in my ear.  "Husband, husband why are you sleeping here? Qingxia, go back to the house quickly and get the thick blanket. Seriously, why don't you even knock on the door" I slowly opened my eyes and saw Yao  Guang Meizi¡¯s eyes and expressions were full of concern and love.  "My husband is awake, why are you sleeping here?" Sister Yaoguang couldn't help but ask when she saw me opening my eyes.  "It was just getting bright when I came back, so I didn't want to make any noiseI care about you two, so I came over here to rest.  "I said after yawning, and then I realized that I was not lying on the couch, but sleeping directly on the table. No wonder I always feel awkward. "You are really, what are you arguing about us, husband?  Have you been working hard for a few days?  "Yaoguang girl said angrily, and raised her white fingers to gently scratch the tip of my nose. "Well, of course it's hard. Eating dishes without ginger and garlic all day long is really unappetizing. Besides,  , The skills of the cook are not as good as the food cooked by the chef in our house. More importantly, without my wife by my side, my husband will have no taste for food and no sleep" I laughed.  He took girl Yao Guang into his arms, kissed her pink lips and said with a smile, "Nonsense, it must be" Yao Guang smiled with the sun shining on her face, and put her head happily on my shoulder.  He hugged her slender waist tightly and smiled as he looked at Sister Qingxia who walked into the study holding a thick blanket.  ?  " I got up too early in the morning, and in order to rush for time, I stuffed two snacks at random. Now I am so hungry that my chest is almost pressed against my back. Fortunately, the breakfast in the house has been prepared.  Fragrant preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and a few side dishes. Well, preserved eggs are of course made by me. I would make them before I traveled through time. They are made of yellow mud mixed with a small amount of salt, tea leaves, lime and plant ash.  After that, let it sit at room temperature for more than a month, and then it will turn into a preserved egg with beautiful patterns on the surface and delicious taste. It is best to add vinegar to reduce its alkalinity.  , it is also a very good choice for cooking porridge. Our favorite porridge back then was preserved egg and lean meat porridge. While eating breakfast, we told Yaoguang and Qingxia the stories that happened in the past few days.  Without them, I have ordered that all the unfinished palaces at the back of the palace be demolished and a huge lawn be built. In addition, of course, the villa complex is also indispensable. ¡°Well, I have even brought the design sketches, by the way.  Let¡¯s explain it to these two girls. ¡°Do you understand? My husband doesn¡¯t want to be like those emperors in the past. If he wanted to see his wife and children, he would have to travel far away. That is not his home at all.  What I hope most for my husband is that our family can live together happily, and we don¡¯t need to think about those troublesome things, and we don¡¯t need to watch other people¡¯s intrigues. This is home, this is life" I heard it twice  The girl smiled happily. Girl Yaoguang got into my arms, kissed me hard, and said with a sweet smile on her face: "Well, my husband is so kind, I don't like to be alone.  It is better to live in a big house than to live under the same roof with your husband. You can chat with your husband every day and play chess with Qingxia to relieve your boredom" They also don't like living in a deserted palace, and prefer to live with them.  My husband lives under the same roof, and we can see each other, know each other, and sleep together every day. "By the way, husband, I received a letter from my second brother last night.  Look" Yaoguang girl wiped her red lips, picked up a letter from the pile of letters next to her and handed it to my hand. "Really?  It seems that the wise brother Shimin has returned to Jinyang.  "I put down the steamed bun in my hand, spread out the letter and took a closer look. This guy has indeed returned to his hometown. The batch of gifts I gave him before leaving made both father and son very happy. In the letter,  Li Shimin also thanked me on behalf of Li Yuan. In addition, Li Shimin wrote to me and told me that his father would keep 500 sets of heavy plate armor. In addition to keeping 100 sets for himself, Li Jiancheng had 100 sets, Li Shimin had 100 sets, and that kid Li Yuanji  In addition to one hundred sets, another hundred sets were actually given to Li Mi to show his affection. Seeing this news really made me a little speechless. It¡¯s not like there is no one in your old Li family.  For example, for your cousin Li Shentong, it would be good to give that guy a hundred sets. It would be better for Li Yuan to throw all one hundred sets to Li Mi to show his affection. Think about it when Cui Rang even gave up the entire Wagang to Li Mi.  However, Li Shimin explained in the letter that he and Li Jiancheng strongly opposed giving the heavy plate armor to Li Mi, but Li Yuan insisted, thinking that he treated people with sincerity, so Li Mi wanted to come.  I will definitely throw a ring in return. I am afraid that the ring thrown by Li Mi is a drop of blood. The more I look at it, the more speechless I am. It is really quite strange that Li Yuan, an old father-in-law who is biased, would do this.  Somewhat beyond my expectation. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, husband?  "Miss Yaoguang saw that I was still smiling cheerfully when I first read the letter, but when she saw the back, her brows became more and more wrinkled, and she couldn't help but asked curiously. "You can see for yourselfyour father is  So do you think Li Mi will reciprocate the favor?  "I handed the letter to Yao Guang and said with a sigh.
