Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 431 Chapter 430
Before the third uncle Li Lang's wedding, Li Lijun returned to Chang'an Sui Palace with his entourage in a low-key manner.

Father Li Dai is not at home, he often goes out to have banquets with people recently.The stepmother, Princess Pei, didn't care, and stayed at home to have a baby.However, she welcomed Li Lijun's return very much. Not only did she have someone clean up Li Lijun's yard in advance, and bought many new items, she also ordered someone to open a small kitchen in the yard, which was responsible for the daily diet of the little stepdaughter. The extra expenses were all sent in advance, money, food, and vegetables were all available, and all kinds of food and medicinal materials that were nourishing and beneficial to the body and did not violate the taboo of filial piety were also in sufficient supply.

Princess Pei did not come out to greet Li Lijun in person for the sake of her own safety, but she sent a confidant maid with a very warm and friendly attitude and thoughtful consideration of everything, so that no one could make a mistake.Anyway, the attendants around Li Lijun, including Nanny Cui and Mrs. Shao, who were wary of Princess Pei, were very helpful in their hearts. They felt that Princess Pei was a decent person who knew etiquette, not like the sisters of the Yang family who loved to hide traitors.

Eldest brother Li Jianrang was wearing a cloak to meet the younger sister at the gate. When he saw Li Lijun, he smiled and said, "I told you earlier that you would go back to the house to attend the third uncle's wedding banquet, but you refused to listen. It can be seen that grandma's face is better than that of the third uncle. Brother, you will come back as soon as the old man delivers the letter."

Li Lijun smiled, and changed the topic: "Brother, how is your health this winter? Has your old disease recurred?"

Li Jianrang was very happy when he mentioned this matter: "There is no attack, I feel that my health is better this year than last year. As long as I dress warmly enough, even if I walk around the mansion every day, I will not feel any discomfort. Princess Pei specially invited the imperial doctor Prescribe a medicinal recipe for me, and the wet nurse stares at me every day to eat it, it is very effective."

To be able to achieve this step, Princess Pei is considered pretty good.A virtuous and loving stepmother does not need to go to Li Jianrang to take care of his daily life, but to ensure that he can get proper treatment and live a materially comfortable life, which is enough.

Princess Pei was able to restore Li Jianrang's body to the healthiest level in his life, and the whole Sui palace was full of praise.Now even Cang Madam, son, mother and daughter would no longer say that Yang Liuniang was the most suitable stepmother for taking care of Li Jianrang's illness by herself.Because Yang Liuniang claimed to take good care of Li Jian, but in fact he couldn't even get out of the room.It's not like it is now, even if he takes a car to the Houtu Temple in Huxian County a hundred miles away to enjoy incense, and then travels to Taiping Valley, the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, and then returns to Chang'an City, he is just a little tired and needs to rest for a few days.This physical condition is three points stronger than some weak "healthy people" in the clan.

Hearing this, Li Lijun smiled and said: "Since my brother's health is recovering now, I will continue to take good care of myself in the future. Don't say that you will not live to the age of Guan. Eat and sleep well every day, exercise your hands and feet more, don't Don’t eat too much when you drink alcohol. In a few years, my elder brother will be as healthy as the second and third brothers of the second room, and maybe he can learn how to ride a horse and play polo!”

Li Jianrang laughed, feeling very happy.In fact, he also feels that he can live a long time, and he is no longer the sick and weak look of the past.

He took the younger sister's hand and went into the main courtyard of the palace together to meet his grandfather King Sui and his grandmother Princess Dou.

King Sui hadn't seen his little granddaughter for a long time, so he couldn't say he had a deep affection for her. He just remembered that the temple he had finally built was paid for by his little granddaughter, so he was very kind to her: "I have lived outside for a long time. You have suffered a lot, don't you think? Although you are not yet filial piety, you can prepare for some things. Let your grandma bring you a good doctor and prescribe some medicine to take care of your body. Look at how thin you are now, your complexion Worse than your elder brother. Grandma Ah Weng really feels distressed when she sees her. When you, Ah Ye, come back, I don’t know how uncomfortable it will be!"

How could Li Dai feel uncomfortable?If he cared about this little daughter, how could he go out to drink and have fun with others knowing that she came back today?

Concubine Dou squinted at her husband, too lazy to expose him, she took Li Lijun's hand, asked about her daily diet, and asked about Cui Madam and Mrs. Shao, and found that Li Lijun did not treat her harshly in life, and would be so thin , maybe it's just because they insist on refusing to eat meat during the filial piety period.But considering that the Chen family's father and daughter are also tall and thin, it is not surprising that Li Lijun grows up like this.

Concubine Dou did not persuade her much, and directly told Li Lijun about the small kitchen: "Your stepmother has ordered that someone will deliver food every day. You can also ask people to go to the big kitchen to ask for whatever you want. In this way, you don't have to eat food every day. You have to wait for the big kitchen to deliver food to you for three meals a day, which is inconvenient in the cold weather, and saves any unsightly servant from offending you for no reason."

She and the King of Sui now don't require her grandchildren to settle down every morning and evening, lest they work too hard. In addition, Li Lijun has not yet filial piety, but there are happy events in the palace. She prefers to let Li Lijun stay in her yard as much as possible For activities, if you are interested, you can sit with your elder brother, cousin, or uncle, but it is best to avoid the courtyard of the third uncle Li Lang.

Li Lijun calmly thanked his grandparents for their sympathy, and after sitting for a while, seeing the tired face of King Sui, he pulled Li Jianrang to stand up and leave, and then went to visit his stepmother, Princess Pei.

Concubine Pei is a bit plumper than when she "meeted" outside the gate of the nunnery last time, her complexion is rosy, and she is in good spirits.She dresses very dignifiedly and luxuriously, but the clothes are not gorgeous, but rather thick, and she pays great attention to keeping warm.

She spoke quite kindly and cared about Li Lijun's stepdaughter's life needs after returning to the palace. The arrangements for the past few days were basically in line with Princess Dou's instructions, probably the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had discussed it in advance.She only mentioned one more thing than Concubine Dou: "I still have a pair of children. My daughter Yuchai is only three years older than you. She has a docile personality and likes to read books on weekdays. I think she always stays in the house and refuses to go out for a walk." I advised her to come to the palace often. She was afraid that there was going to be a wedding in the mansion, so she refused to come. Her grandmother persuaded her for several days before she agreed to move in with me tomorrow. Now that you are back, it is just a matter of time to have a good time with her. Companion, whether it's reading and writing together, or playing together, it's good."

Princess Pei's two sons and daughters are not yet filial piety, and the filial piety period is about the same as that of Li Lijun.She made such a proposal, perhaps out of good intentions, and Li Jianrang also echoed it repeatedly, but when Li Lijun thought of getting along with a strange little lady, he was not happy at first, and said lightly on his face: "I haven't met the Zheng family yet. Where's my sister?" So don't say anything about two girls reading and playing together.

Concubine Pei may have heard what she meant. After that, the smile on her face remained unchanged, and her words were still kind and kind, but she no longer mentioned the word of letting her be with Zheng Yuchai.Li Jianrang didn't know the opportunity, but he repeated the words again, saying that he and Princess Pei's eldest son Zheng Wen were quite close, and he thought that his younger sister and Zheng Yuchai would also become good best friends.

Li Lijun didn't answer his words at all.

After a while, the confidant of Princess Pei came to report something, and Li Lijun quickly pulled Li Jianrang to leave.

When he walked out of the house, Li Jianrang whispered: "Why resign? The stepmother will never betray us juniors, and she will also teach the second sister many tips about housekeeping."

The problem is that Li Lijun really wants to leave, and she doesn't need to learn the tricks of being a housekeeper.

Li Lijun looked at Li Jianrang helplessly, and was about to speak, when he heard the voice of the nanny asking for instructions from the room: "Princess Si, the Yang family sent someone again, saying that the condition of their master Cheng is getting worse, and he is in urgent need of help." ginseng. But there are not many stocks in the mansion, and there are still some for the prince and concubine, you see...should I tell the successor king not to promise him so casually?"

　I struggled with the wording of a sentence, and when I came back to my senses, I realized that the update time had passed... After sending it out, I realized that the number of chapters was wrongly written. This is chapter 430...
