After the Battle of Luoyang, Chai Shao captured Li Zitong and Du Fuwei in Hulao with Li Shimin, coupled with his achievements in conquering Luoyang and his status as the emperor's son-in-law, he was granted the title Duke Huo and was appointed General Youxiaowei.
In the army, Chai Shao is also considered the number one figure and can be considered a faction, but it is relatively weak.
However, Chai Shao was running around the house anxiously at this moment, because Pingyang Princess Li Xiuning suddenly fell ill, which caught him off guard.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from my ears.
"Faster!"
"Your Highness, don't pull me away. Your Highness, please don't pull me away. He's already running away again."
When he turned around, he saw King Chu Li Zhiyun dragging two brothers, Zhen Quan and Zhen Liyan, speeding towards him.
"See your highness." Chai Shao didn't know why Li Zhiyun suddenly appeared, but he still bowed.
"Brother-in-law, how is my sister?" Li Zhiyun asked.
"I have already invited the doctor in."
Li Zhiyun nodded and immediately said: "Today I went into the palace to pay my respects to my mother-in-law. I heard my mother-in-law said that my sister has been feeling unwell these past two days, so she invited two imperial doctors to come over."
Zhen Quan muttered to himself, you are not asking, you are clearly dragging me.
But he didn't have any objection, after all, the King of Chu always gave a lot.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Chai Shao handed over his hand.
Li Zhiyun waved his hand, and he and Chai Shao immediately invited the Zhen brothers in to treat Li Xiuning.
Li Xiuning didn't have any serious illness, it was mainly due to an old injury. The Zhen brothers prescribed a prescription for strengthening the body and strengthening the body, and told Li Xiuning to take the medicine on time and he would be able to recover.
When the Zhen brothers were leaving, Li Zhiyun generously presented a fine jade pendant, which made the Zhen brothers smile so hard that they couldn't close their mouths.
The King of Chu is still generous.
indoor.
Li Xiuning leaned on the quilt, looked at Li Zhiyun sitting next to him, and said angrily: "It's just a minor illness, why should I ask the imperial doctor to come over? If my father knows about it, it will inevitably make him worried."
After entering Chang'an, Li Xiuning was granted the title of Princess Pingyang and gradually retreated to the background, no longer leading the troops, focusing on taking care of the affairs of the palace. She usually took care of the children and visited the house when nothing happened, so she lived a relatively leisurely life.
"Sister, don't be careless. If you don't handle it properly, you will regret it if you are not careful. In the past few years, I have been traveling far and wide, and rarely have time to visit my sister. I don't want to
Now that I have some free time, I come to visit my doctor every day." Li Zhiyun joked.
"Brat!"
Li Xiuning waved her hand and gave him a slap in the face, her movements were so skillful that people were dumbfounded.
Li Zhiyun could dodge, but he didn't. Li Xiuning still slapped him on the shoulder.
"Sister, I'm as tall as the eldest and second brothers now, so you can't hit me on the head." Li Zhiyun snorted.
Hearing this, Li Xiuning immediately smiled, looked at his fifth brother's straight back, nodded and said: "As expected of me, the son of the Li family, I should have this kind of courage."
Chai Shao, who was standing aside, suddenly felt that he was a little redundant.
Then I leave?
At this moment, Chai Shao's eldest son Chai Zhewei ran in with short legs. Behind him, there was also a maidservant with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Aniang, Aniang." The little guy ran and shouted all the way until he came to Li Xiuning's side.
Chai Shao glanced at the maid outside the door, and the latter withdrew in embarrassment. After all, he didn't think much of the young master.
Li Xiuning pointed at Li Zhiyun, "You still don't kowtow to your uncle."
Chai Zhewei was very obedient and kowtowed to Li Zhiyun obediently.
"Kowtow to uncle."
"Get up." Li Zhiyun helped him up and took out a handful of golden beans from his money bag and gave them to him, "I'll tease you."
"Thank you, uncle."
Chai Shao could see that Li Zhiyun seemed to have something to say with Li Xiuning, so after a while, he took Chai Zhewei out, leaving space for their siblings.
Li Xiuning said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Wu Lang, you are always a busy man. I went to your palace several times and you were not there. I came here specially this time, but what's the matter?"
She has a deep relationship with sister Li Zhiyun, and she also has a close friendship with Princess Chu. She often goes to Prince Chu's Mansion to chat with Princess Chu.
Li Zhiyun said aggrievedly: "Sister said that, but I suspect that my little brother has ulterior motives for coming here this time."
Li Xiuning sneered, "Okay, you kid, don't act naughty in front of me. If you have something to do, just talk about it. If you have nothing to do, just chat with me. We haven't chatted for a long time."
Speaking of this, Li Xiuning also said with some melancholy: "Since my father Huang Yuji, you brothers have been busy with wars, but you rarely come to see me."
Li Zhiyun sighed: "Sister, it's not like I don't want to come over. It's just that I have some things stuck in my heart and I don't know who to talk to. I used to be so busy that I didn't have time, but now that I have time, I feel even more depressed."
"What happened?" Li Xiuning asked.
Li Zhiyun's expression became visibly lowered, and he whispered: "Sister, you should know about your second brother, General Feng Tiance."
"Of course you know. Who doesn't know the inside and outside of Chang'an?" Li Xiuning sighed: "The queen mother liked Erlang when she was here. Now that she can see Erlang so outstanding, she must be very happy in her heart."
At this point, she noticed that Li Zhiyun looked wrong, so she asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Zhiyun said: "Sister, you should know what happened between the eldest brother and the second brother."
Hearing this, Li Xiuning fell silent immediately.
Although she did not ask about court affairs, she learned from her husband that the prince and the King of Qin were now incompatible, and they had great differences of opinion in the court.
Everyone can see that these two brothers are fighting.
She said earnestly: "Wu Lang, this is their business. Don't interfere too much, so as not to get into trouble. You are the prince, the king of Chu personally appointed by the saint. As long as you don't cause trouble, no one will dare to do anything to you. Don't worry."
"I know." Li Zhiyun said with a bitter smile: "But sister, I really don't understand, we are obviously brothers, why can't we tolerate each other. Although I am young, I have received the teachings of my father over the years, and I am no longer a
I don’t understand anything anymore. I can see that the eldest brother and the second brother have a grudge against each other.
I want to stop them, but I can't do anything. Although our Tang Dynasty is now prosperous, there is nothing that brothers can't talk about.
Sister, I really don’t understand.”
Li Xiuning looked at her brother lovingly and said softly: "Little fool, everyone will grow up, and you have grown up too, right? Since there are some things that you can't do anything about, then stop worrying about them. Listen to your sister,
Just do your job and don't meddle in other people's business."
Li Zhiyun sighed: "Sister is right, they are brothers, I should not interfere with their affairs. I have already planned to ask my father for orders to go to local posts and educate the people."
"You want to leave Chang'an?" Li Xiuning frowned.
Li Zhiyun whispered: "I don't want to see the eldest brother and the second brother quarrel. After thinking about it, it is better to leave Chang'an and keep out of sight."
Li Xiuning heard the helplessness in his words and asked, "Are they looking for you?"
"No." Li Zhiyun shook his head, "The eldest brother and the second brother have not approached the younger brother. It is the younger brother who thinks too much."
Li Xiuning was silent for a while and said: "You stay in Chang'an obediently. If anything happens in the future, tell your sister at any time and I will support you. If the prince and Erlang want to find you, just tell them that you will listen to me in everything."
"I am the King of Chu, a manly man. How can I listen to a woman?" Li Zhiyun muttered.
"Begging for a beating!"
Li Xiuning showed her power and slapped Li Zhiyun on the shoulder, making him grin.
Li Zhiyun covered his shoulders and said, "Sister, you are too fierce. My brother-in-law will have a problem with you."
"He dares!" Li Xiuning raised her eyebrows.
In one sentence, Chai Shao's family position was revealed.
Seeing his begging look, Li Xiuning chuckled and said seriously: "Listen to my sister and stay in Chang'an honestly. If they dare to come to you, you will come to my sister. Do you hear me?"
"Yeah." Li Zhiyun nodded and sighed: "My sister is the only one who loves me now."
"You can say weird things." Li Xiuning glared at him and said, "Wu Lang, as long as you behave yourself, no one dares to do anything to you, I said so!"
Although she was helpless in the fight between the prince and the King of Qin, she still had no problem keeping the King of Chu safe.
Thinking of this, she felt a little sad. Some things were irreversible.
