Kunning Palace.
When Li Chengqian came.
Empress Changsun is being supported by the palace maid to exercise on the treadmill.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian smiled.
He walked straight forward, took over the duties of the palace maid, and said with a smile: "My son, I would like to send my regards to the queen mother."
"You still know how to come here?"
Empress Changsun rolled her eyes and said with disgust, "I thought you would forget about your mother after you married your daughter-in-law."
"how could be."
"My son is just too busy during this period and has no time to come over."
Li Chengqian said as if he had been greatly wronged: "How could I forget my most beloved mother?"
"loquacious."
Empress Changsun snorted softly, and then said: "Help me go down."
Li Chengqian responded, then raised his hand to turn off the circlip of the treadmill, and helped Empress Changsun to sit down on the couch.
Queen Changsun took the handkerchief handed over by the palace maid and gently wiped the sweat from her face.
Immediately, she looked directly at Li Chengqian and said, "I heard that your father is planning to arrange a marriage for you again?"
"yes."
Li Chengqian said bitterly: "I don't know what my father thinks, but he insists on letting me marry the princess of Silla."
"It sounds like you're very reluctant?"
Queen Changsun raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Chengqian.
"Of course not."
Li Chengqian said bluntly: "Then King Zhenping has no children, and Kinderman is his eldest daughter. She will most likely be the one to inherit the throne of Silla in the future."
"Wouldn't that be nice?"
Queen Changsun said: "In this case, won't Silla's relationship with Datang be completely tied together?"
"Why are they tied together?"
Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "If they are really tied up, does the Tang Dynasty still have a reason to annex Silla?"
Hearing this, Queen Changsun was puzzled: "Qian'er, what do you mean by this?"
"Judging from the current situation, Silla and Datang can coexist in harmony."
"But what about the future?"
"As Datang's control over the Northeast Road becomes more and more in-depth, sooner or later there will be friction between the two countries."
"At that time, no matter what Datang did, the two sides were probably going to have a war."
Li Chengqian looked at Empress Changsun and said: "Instead of letting these interests tie up and make the Tang Dynasty constrained, it is better to be unrestrained and eliminate them without any scruples when the time comes."
Hearing this, Queen Changsun was startled.
After all, based on Li Chengqian's personality earlier, he hated war extremely.
But now, why has he become like this?
Even now, we are cooperating with Silla to fight against the invasion of Japanese pirates.
He has already started planning to eliminate Silla in the future.
Empress Changsun hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Does it have to be beaten?"
"It must be beaten."
"If we want peace in the Northeast Road, it is very necessary to eliminate all potential enemies in the Northeast Road."
Li Chengqian said very firmly: "So it is best not to agree to this matter, otherwise there will be no benefits and it will bring trouble to Datang."
"Maybe you are right."
Empress Changsun raised her hand and touched Li Chengqian's head and said: "You have really grown up, and now you are able to plan for things that have not happened yet."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian chuckled, grabbed the hand of Empress Changsun and said: "Mother, I have already married a wife, and I am no longer a child."
yes.
He is no longer a child.
But in the eyes of Queen Changsun, he was still the little guy who would cry when he made a mistake and was punished.
The eldest grandson Queen smiled gently: "In the eyes of the Queen Mother, you will always be a child, let alone marrying a wife, even if you become a grandfather, you will be the same."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian curled his lips.
"Mother, my son will lead the army on an expedition in two days. Is there anything you want?"
Li Chengqian looked at Empress Changsun and said, "I will bring it back to you on the day of my triumphant return."
"No need for anything."
Empress Changsun sighed softly and said, "As long as you come back safely."
Being a parent.
Although I hope my son will become a dragon.
But I also hope that my children can be safe.
Now that Li Chengqian is so promising, Empress Changsun is naturally proud of him.
However, he always led his troops like this, and Queen Changsun couldn't help but worry about him.
It felt like I was back when I sent my husband off to war twenty years ago.
Empress Changsun gently touched Li Chengqian's head.
Then, she took out an amulet from under the soft pillow and stuffed it into Li Chengqian's hand.
"This amulet was brought by your father."
"He hasn't been on the battlefield in recent years, so he didn't bring it with him."
"And now that you are able to lead the army to defeat the enemy in place of your father, I will give it to you."
"When wearing armor, hang this amulet on the lining of the armor to keep you safe."
See the gentle look on Queen Changsun's face.
Li Chengqian also had a sore nose.
He put away the amulet and said: "Mother, since my son and minister are not here, you must not be lazy. Exercise more, eat more meat, eat more vegetables, eat more fruits..."
"Do not worry."
"My mother even remembers it."
"Okay, hurry up and get ready to go home,"
Empress Changsun said directly: "By the way, I want to say goodbye to those two girls in your family."
"My son, bid farewell to my mother."
After saying this, Li Chengqian stood up and left.
Queen Changsun followed him all the way to the palace gate, looking at his back longingly.
It wasn't until he completely disappeared from her eyes that Empress Changsun exhaled slowly: "My son has grown up and no longer loves his mother..."
…
"This is Chang'an City, it's so lively."
A carriage was driving on the busiest street in Chang'an City.
The little maid opened the curtains and looked everywhere with surprise on her face.
Sitting in the carriage, the young lady couldn't help but sigh: "I really want to go out and see..."
"When you get to the inn, will my slave accompany you around?"
It was the first time for both of them to come to Chang'an City, and they naturally wanted to appreciate the scenery of Chang'an City.
But the young lady sighed and said, "If the two of us go out, I'm afraid we will be treated as weird things and surrounded by people to watch."
Hearing this, the little maid was a little disappointed.
She curled her lips and said, "This is Chang'an City, no one knows us."
"Right."
The young lady obviously felt that what the little maid said was right, and said: "When we arrive at the inn, let's go out and have a look."
After arriving at the inn.
Servants are tidying up everywhere.
The master and the servant went downstairs together and stood in the lobby to look at the street scene outside.
The prosperity of Chang'an City is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary cities.
Just standing in this inn, you can see vendors selling snacks and small shops selling all kinds of gadgets on the street.
There are also some Jianghu entertainers doing some tricks like juggling on the street, and from time to time the people watching nearby will burst into cheers or two.
When the pretty lady looked left and right, she found a place selling snacks on the street.
The snack shop is not big, but it is very popular. Many people line up to buy snacks.
Seeing this scene, the young lady became interested and wanted to walk out of the inn on the spot, but before she could go out, she took back her feet.
This girl is still young and has a shy temperament.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been stuck in the carriage all the way...
