From a distance, Lin Xuan saw a group of people standing at the door.
Lin Dongyang, Zhang Qing and Li Lizhi were looking at the direction of Chang'an with eager anticipation.
The corners of Lin Xuan's eyes were a little moist. He had been in Datang for two years.
Although he accepted Lin Dongyang and the others at first, it was more because he occupied the body of 'Lin Xuan' and his desire for family affection.
In fact, Lin Xuan has never integrated into the Tang Dynasty. Although he tried his best to integrate himself into the Tang Dynasty, Lin Xuan's heart is lonely.
Sometimes he even wonders if this is a dream, and when he wakes up he returns to his original life.
When he saw the figures waiting for him at the door, Lin Xuan couldn't help but wonder, if he was given a chance to choose now, would he choose to go back?
No!
Soon Lin Xuan had the answer, he could not go back.
It's not that he can't part with the glory and wealth of the Tang Dynasty, but that there are too many people in the Tang Dynasty that he can't let go of.
"Look, it's Xuan'er who's back." Zhang Qing said excitedly.
Although Lin Dongyang was excited, he was the head of the family after all, so his face was very calm, but the hands in his sleeves were trembling slightly.
Li Lizhi looked at Lin Xuan with slightly red eyes. If she hadn't learned court etiquette since childhood, she would have rushed to Lin Xuan long ago.
Lin Xuan reined in his horse and stopped more than twenty steps away from the door of his house.
Turning over and dismounting, Lin Xuan knelt down on one knee and said, "My child is unfilial and makes my parents worried."
"Xuan'er, what are you doing?" Zhang Qing quickly stepped forward to help Lin Xuan up, looked around, and said distressedly: "Why have you lost so much weight? Is the food in the army too bad?"
Lin Xuan:......
He is a general after all, so the food in the army will definitely not be too bad.
But during this period, he first rushed back to the Tang Dynasty from the grassland, then went to the royal city of Gaochang, and finally returned to Chang'an. It can be said that his feet did not touch the ground, and he would definitely lose some weight.
"Okay, let's go in first." Lin Dongyang said.
Zhang Qing turned around and glared at Lin Dongyang. Her deep love between mother and son was ruined by Lin Dongyang's words.
Lin Dongyang winked at Zhang Qing and glanced at Li Lizhi.
Only then did Zhang Qing come to his senses and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, let's go in first. Xuan'er, you who are so tired, go take a bath first."
"Mom and dad, please wait until the child takes a shower and changes clothes before you go to say hello." Lin Xuan said with cupped hands.
Lin Dongyang and Zhang Qing were in front, Lin Xuan and Li Lizhi were behind, and Li Lizhi finally had a chance to talk to Lin Xuan.
"Husband."
Li Lizhi's voice was very gentle, with a hint of excitement and longing in her tone.
In ancient times, etiquette was valued. When the elders were speaking, the younger generation was not allowed to interrupt.
As Li Lizhi, even if she spoke, no one would say anything, but she still abided by the etiquette. Although she was excited, when Zhang Qing and Lin Dongyang were talking to Lin Xuan, she watched quietly without saying a word.
.
As a descendant, Lin Xuan didn't care about this, but he never corrected Li Lizhi's behavior.
Each era has its own etiquette, and if you want to integrate into an era, you must accept these.
If we traveled back in time to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, we would still kneel down when we saw the emperor.
If anyone dares to say that there is gold at the man's knees, haha, the whole drama will be over immediately.
Lin Xuan reached out and took Li Lizhi's hand, feeling very guilty.
Less than a month after their wedding, he led the troops on an expedition. He couldn't accompany her without telling her, and he also made her worry.
Li Lizhi didn't expect that Lin Xuan would hold her hand in front of so many people, and her face suddenly turned red. She looked at Lin Dongyang and Zhang Qing in front of her and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they didn't look back.
She wanted to break away, but was a little reluctant, so she could only blush and lower her head, letting Lin Xuan hold her.
When Lin Xuan saw Li Lizhi's cute look, he secretly laughed in his heart, wasn't this a deception?
When they returned to Xichiyuan, Li Lizhi took her hand out of Lin Xuan's.
If Qing Yi and the others were to see her, she would not have the majesty of being the mistress of the house.
Lin Xuan smiled and did not continue to tease her.
"I've met the princess, the consort."
"I've met Lord Marquis, princess."
Qingyi Ziyi and Chunyue Yuhe led a group of maids into two teams. When they saw Lin Xuan and Li Lizhi coming in, they said in unison.
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "No courtesy."
Entering the hall, Lin Xuan sat down on a chair and relaxed for a while.
Li Lizhi saw Lin Xuan looking a little tired, and said with some distress: "My husband has not only lost weight, but also darkened a lot."
"Father, it's true. My husband has just come back. I won't let him come back to rest, but I still have to summon him. Isn't this a torment?"
Li Lizhi naturally knew that when the generals who led troops from other places came back, they would first go to see Li Shimin, but whether or not to see him was not a matter of Li Shimin's words, so he complained a little to Li Shimin.
Lin Xuan was secretly happy that the water thrown by his married daughter was not fake at all, but he liked it.
"Okay, if you really feel sorry for your husband, just ask someone to prepare some hot water and help you bathe yourself." Lin Xuan had a playful smile on his face.
Although he and Li Lizhi had taken a bath together before after they had done what they had to do as husband and wife.
But that was all because Li Lizhi was very tired, so she half-heartedly followed his wish.
Li Lizhi usually refused.
Li Lizhi's face turned slightly red. She naturally understood what Lin Xuan meant, but she couldn't resist missing Lin Xuan for so long. She nodded lightly, then lowered her head, not daring to look at Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan was stunned. He just said that just to change the subject. He didn't expect that Li Lizhi would agree.
After coming back to his senses, Lin Xuan was overjoyed and shouted: "Chunyue Ziyi, you go prepare hot water, I want to take a bath."
"yes."
Not long after, the water was ready, and Lin Xuan sent Chunyue and the others away, leaving only Li Lizhi.
The flowers on the temples are swaying with golden steps, and the hibiscus tent is a warm spring night.
The spring night is short and the sun rises high. From now on, the king will not go to court early.
Lin Xuan finally understood why there were so many foolish emperors in history. Anyway, if he were the emperor, he would definitely be a foolish emperor.
…
Just when Lin Xuan was doing something shameless, Li Shimin looked at the crying Princess Gaoyang, Changsun Wuji kneeling on the ground, and Changsun Chong lying on the stretcher in the Zhengdian Palace.
At this time, Changsun Chong looked very miserable. His clothes on his back were all stained with blood. He lay there and occasionally made a moan to let people know that he was still alive.
"Your Majesty loves the eldest son's family so much that he married the princess. However, my rebellious son dared to hit the princess. This is a capital crime. Please punish your majesty." Changsun Wuji knelt on the ground and said with shame on his face.
He did not make any excuse for Changsun Chong's beating of Princess Gaoyang.
No matter what the reason is, hitting the princess is a slap in the royal face.
In an era when imperial power was supreme, it was a serious crime.
Li Shimin's face was very ugly, but it did not ease up at all because of Changsun Wuji's words.
Although Changsun Wuji said it was a capital crime and asked him to punish him, could he really kill Changsun Chong?
What Li Shimin was most angry about was that Changsun Wuji beat Changsun Chong half to death.
Changsun Chong definitely couldn't just let it go after he beat the princess, but Changsun Chong has been beaten like this, how can he be punished?
What if Changsun Chong is accidentally killed?
At this time, Li Shimin was riding a tiger and couldn't get off.
