Chapter 227 Horizontal Branches

At the moment of Shenshi on April 22nd, Xianheng's second year, the sky was gray and cloudy, and the fine rain floated with the wind, like a dream, giving people a ethereal beauty and relieving the unbearable heat in early summer. Perhaps because of this, the people gathered outside the Xicheng Gate were obviously better than the officials of Ceremonies expected. There are many old and young people. The Luoyang government officials who are responsible for maintaining order are all so busy sweating, but no one dares to complain nonsense, because this suburban welcome ceremony is specially held for one person, who is Li Xian, the king who is about to return in triumph!

The Tang Dynasty established the country with martial arts and has always valued military achievements. Li Xian, with the respect of the prince, dared to lead a brigade of hundreds of thousands of enemy troops. His bravery and good fighting have long been spread all over the government and the opposition. At that time, people regard it as heroes, and now they are famous and triumphant. No one wants to appreciate the heroic posture of this famous sage king in the world with their own eyes. Not to mention the legendary bright moon princess who is gorgeous in the world will also return together. These heroes and beautiful women will always be the most touching and meaningful legend, but if you can look at it a few times, you can add a little more boastful talk after tea and dinner. In terms of the virtue that the Chinese people have always been able to join in the fun, not to mention the light rain, it is a torrential rain. It can't extinguish the curiosity of the Chinese people.

"Here we are, here we are. Look, it's His Royal Highness!"

As soon as there were many people, their mouths were mixed. Of course, there was no shortage of sharp-eyed people. A fiery red war flag on the mountain road in the distance showed a corner, and someone roared excitedly. In an instant, the crowd who was laughing in a mess calmed down in an instant, and the eyes of countless people gathered together. Focused on the slowly galloping motorcade, for a few hours, the drums and music were playing together, and the motorcade had reached the front. When the white horse of Shenjun sat on the front, there was a tall young man. Except for Li Xian, who else!

"Brother Seven, Brother Seven, I'm here, here..."

Before Li Xian**'s night lion horse completely stopped, Princess Taiping, who had been so excited for a long time, shook off the care of the matan beside her. While running, she waved her little hand and rushed forward wildly. The excited little look didn't have the princess's reservedness. It was simply naughty. Naughty little girl.

"Little sister..."

Li Xu, the king of Yin, who came to preside to preside over the suburban welcome ceremony, was born with a steady nature. Although he was also excited by the arrival of Li Xian, he clenched his fists with a flushed face. There was no excessive demeanor. This time, Princess Taiping unexpectedly rushed out so disrespectfully, she couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded and opened her mouth. The voice seemed to want to stop him, but as soon as the words came to his mouth, he felt that it was not appropriate, so he stopped his mouth, shook his head helplessly, and walked slowly. His footsteps were not tight or slow. Although he was thin and small, he was quite calm when walking.

"Little sister!"

Li Xian originally loved the little girl Taiping. After walking between life and death, he cherished the rare brother and sister in the heavenly family. This time, Princess Taiping rushed over indifferently, and a warm current surged in his heart. He turned over and got off the horse with a laugh. The Lord raised it up.

"Seventh brother, you are finally back, but you miss your little sister so much."

Princess Taiping obviously enjoyed Li Xian's favorite. She got into Li Xian's arms with a straight smile, rubbed Li Xian's chest with her little head, and acted coquettishly.

"Seventh brother, you have worked hard all the way. I came to welcome you with the will of my father."

After not seeing each other for more than half a year, Li Xulun grew much taller and was much calmer than before. After quietly watching Li Xian and his sister laughing for a while, he slowly stepped forward and bowed to the end.

"I have a hard time. Well, it's good. I've grown a lot. I'm like a big man, okay!"

Li Xian tried to put Princess Taiping down on the ground, but the little girl refused to go to the ground. Li Xian had no choice but to let him hang it around his neck, sideways, and looked at Li Xulun with great interest. Then he reached out and patted Li Xulun's shoulder with a smile and praised him.

"Seventh brother is praised, little brother, little brother..."

Being praised by Li Xian, Li Xulun's face turned red and smiled shyly.

"Brother Seven, didn't you say that you brought back a sister-in-law? Where is it?"

Before Li Xulun finished speaking, Princess Taiping couldn't wait to shout and wanted to see her new sister-in-law. No matter how Li Xian could coax her, Li Xian had no choice but to call a little maid and ask Princess Mingyue to get out of the car to meet her.

Princess Mingyue is generous by nature. Even in the face of such an event of more than a hundred thousand people's attention, she is not afraid of the stage. As soon as Li Xian summoned, Princess Mingyue, who was sitting in the carriage, was served by the maids of honor to get out of the car and came all the way, wearing a fluttering white clothes, beautiful face, and gold. The blue-eyed exotic style conquered everyone present in an instant, and the scene was full of surprise for a moment.

"Huh, fox spirit, you are so coquettish. You have to be a little girl, hum!"

Obviously, not everyone appreciates the beauty of Princess Mingyue. Well, the little girl Zijuan, who accompanied Zhao Qiong in the crowd, was very unconvinced. She pouted and cursed in a low voice with a disdainful face.

"Purple cuckoo, don't talk nonsense, Your Highness..."

Looking at Princess Mingyue, who stood beside Li Xian, Zhao Qiong's heart was sore for no reason because of Li Xian's return. When she heard what the purple cuckoo said, she was even more distressed. In the middle of the scolding, tears couldn't stop flowing down. She turned her head and hurriedly squeezed out the crowd, and stopped at The nearby carriage ran away.

"Miss, wait for me, miss..."

The purple cuckoo obviously did not expect Zhao Qiong's reaction to be so strong. When he saw Zhao Qiong leave in a hurry, he panicked and shouted and chased out of the crowd...

"Your Highness, Your Majesty and the Queen are still waiting in the palace. Look at this..."

Li Xian, who was in the focus of everyone's attention, did not know that his backyard was already "fire". He just chatted with Li Xulun with a smile, leaving Princess Taiping, a pestering little girl, to chatter with Princess Mingyue, and he didn't know where the little girl Taiping got so many problems. From the scenery outside the fortress, I have been asking about the local customs of Yutan. It is like a little sparrow. Good boy, this is the time for most of the incense. Cui Minghao, the chief guest of the ceremonial department, can't stand it anymore. He has to rub his head in front of the Li Xian brothers. Be careful. He said with a little bit.

Let no one wait and let the emperor wait. This is a big problem of principle. Hearing Cui Minghao's words, Li Xian did not dare to neglect. After laughing and accompanying a crime, he greeted the next group of people and entered the city, accompanied by Li Xulun and Princess Taiping. The sign of invitation was handed over at the gate of the palace. In a moment, the order of the two halls came out of the palace. The brother and sister talked and laughed all the way and went outside the two halls.

"My son and minister will see my father and mother!"

The three brothers and sisters, led by Li Xian, walked into the hall one after another. In their eyes, they saw Gao Zong and Empress Wu sitting head side by side. They did not dare to neglect each other and rushed forward to salute and say hello.

"Xian'er is back, okay, okay, come on, calm down quickly, let me have a good look."

As soon as he saw Li Xian arrive, Gao Zong was obviously very happy. He raised his hand with a smile and motioned Li Xian to forgive him.

"Thank you, Father."

After Li Xian finished saluteing regularly, he stood up. The afterglow in the corner of his eyes quickly glanced at the situation in the hall. Suddenly, he found that Ming Chongyan was actually mixed with Pei Xingjian, Li Jingxuan and other prime ministers. His heart was slightly shocked, but he did not bring it to his face. He just hung his hand honestly. Stand up.

"Well, okay, it's a little darker, but it's much stronger. Well, Xian'er promoted the name of the Tang Dynasty in the first battle. Good, very good."

Gao Zong looked at Li Xian, and then nodded with satisfaction. When he opened his mouth, there was a burst of praise.

"My father's fallacy has won the prize. If he can win this time, he depends on his father's wisdom, and then he has three military orders. His son's ministers are only a little hard work, and he can't be praised by his father." Good words sound good, but when it's time to be modest, Li Xian will not forget to be modest. He smiled shyly and answered respectfully.

"Mei Niang, look, she is meritorious and not proud. Is there a legacy of Emperor Taizong?"

The more Gao Zong looked at Li Xian, the more he liked him. He looked sideways at Wu Hou with a smile and did not hesitate to praise him.

"Your Majesty, Xian'er is really my family's thousand-mile-old."

Hearing that Gao Zong raised Li Xian so high, Wu Hou's pupils shrank slightly, and even echoed with a smile.

"Well, it's true that I have Xian'er, and I'm carefree! I said that on the day of the triumph, it was the time of Xian'er's wedding. It's better to have done this matter. What do you want to say about this? Gao Zong touched the long beard on his chest, looked around at the ministers in front of the hall, and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty!"

The prince's wedding is a family matter of the emperor. A group of prime ministers are happy to see its success, and Pei Xingjian and others have been praised one after another.

"Your Majesty, I don't know whether to say a word or not."

Just as the ministers praised one after another, Ming Chongyi stood up from the end of the team and said loudly.

"Oh? You have something to say, but it's okay to say it.

Gao Zong obviously spoiled Xinming Chongyan very much, and did not get angry at all because he stood up abruptly. He asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Weichen took a lesson yesterday for Kun Gua. Its metaphor is that the elder brother has not married, and the younger brother is afraid that it will be unfavorable to the country. Now the prince is old and has not yet married. The etiquette is not in line with the sake of the community, he should make a plan as early as possible. What this minister has seen, I hope your majesty will be holy." Ming Chong talked freely with a solemn face, regardless of the surprise of the ministers, and no matter how Li Xian stood aside felt. After talking to himself, he withdrew to the side and stood still as if nothing had happened...
