The carriages of Li Yuan and Li Shimin left Qinjiazhuang one after another and headed towards Chang'an City together.
Princess Jinyang sat in the arms of Empress Changsun, blinking her big innocent eyes, looking up and asking:
"Queen Mother, you are so amazing. Aweng is indeed in Brother Ming's house."
Empress Changsun rubbed Si Zi’s little head and smiled:
"Well, Si Zi is also very good today."
Princess Jinyang nodded happily after hearing this, but soon she asked doubtfully:
"But why did Aweng go to Brother Ming's house? And it seemed that Aweng was very happy at Brother Ming's place. When Awen got in the car just now, he was as reluctant to leave Brother Ming as Sizi. "
Upon hearing this, Queen Changsun paused in her hand movements, glanced at Li Shimin from the corner of her eye, and then said softly:
"Maybe it's because there are a lot of delicious and fun things in your brother Ming's house, so Aweng likes it there as much as you do."
Hearing this, Sizi nodded in agreement and said:
"Well, Brother Ming's house does have a lot of delicious food."
.....
Li Shimin quietly listened to the conversation between mother and daughter, but he kept recalling what happened today in his mind.
In these scenes, there are the father's wanton and maniacal laughter while playing cards, the father's inadvertent scolding of him, and the father's reluctance when saying goodbye to Qin Ming at the door of the house.
For a moment, Li Shimin even had the illusion that he had returned to his childhood, because in his impression, his father only had so many rich and vivid expressions when he was the governor of Taiyuan County.
Of course, what excited Li Shimin the most was what his father said at the dinner table about easing the relationship with him.
While Li Shimin was grateful to Qin Ming, he was also resentful that Qin Ming slandered and abused him in person at the dinner table.
"This kid is really brave. He actually dares to scold me in front of me and say that I am not a son of a man. He also said that I am ruthless and ruthless."
"Based on these few words, you still want to marry my daughter! If I want to fulfill your wish easily, where will I put my face? I will remember this account for you first, and I will definitely let you have the opportunity in the future. nice."
Just as Li Shimin was thinking this, the carriage suddenly stopped.
The guard driving the car said respectfully outside the car:
"Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor has sent someone here to deliver a message."
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun stood up, opened the curtains, and got out of the carriage.
Outside the carriage, Li Yuan's personal eunuch Zhang Cheng stood respectfully on the roadside. Seeing Li Shimin and Queen Changsun coming down, he saluted respectfully and said:
"Old slave, see the saint, see the queen."
Li Shimin nodded and said:
"Get up, father, what do you want to say?"
Zhang Cheng stood up and said:
"The Emperor's decree... His Majesty and the Queen will take the prince and princess to Da'an Palace tomorrow to pay their respects."
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this. This was the first time in six years that his father took the initiative to ask him to pay his respects, and he even took Cheng Qian and the others with him.
He is now very curious about what Qin Ming said to his father and why his father had such a big change. He must ask carefully if he has the opportunity in the future.
Empress Changsun also looked happy after listening to Li Yuan's instructions. Seeing Li Shimin stunned at the side, she couldn't help coughing and said to Zhang Cheng:
"I obey your orders."
Li Shimin came to his senses after hearing this and said:
"My son, I obey."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Cheng bent down and saluted:
"Old slave, please retire."
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun got on the carriage happily. They discussed returning to the palace in a while, and then sent people to notify the princes and princesses.

Youshi, Lantian County, Qin Mansion Study Room
Everyone in the backyard knew that Qin Ming was in a bad mood because of Li Yuan's return to Taiyuan County, so he did not come to the study to listen to stories as usual.
Xiao Qingwan and Sishe stood at the door of Qin Ming's study. They hesitated for a while before opening the door and walking in.
At this time, Qin Ming was sitting on the sofa with dull eyes.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Qingwan walked over, took out a bowl of soup from the tray in Sishe's hand and handed it to Qin Ming:
"Sir, I just made you a bowl of chicken soup in the kitchen. You can drink some of it."
Qin Ming came back to his senses after hearing this, smiled reluctantly at Xiao Qingwan and said:
"Wan'er, please put the soup here and I'll drink it later. It's getting late, so you can go back to Qingxinyuan and rest."
Xiao Qingwan frowned when she heard this, but she still obediently put the soup bowl on the coffee table.
"Son, put the chicken soup here. Remember to drink it later."
Qin Ming nodded and said:
"Well, you go ahead."
Upon hearing this, Qingwan pulled Sishe, who looked worried, out of the room.
After seeing off Li Yuan and Li Shimin's group in the afternoon, Qin Ming returned to the study.
Sitting alone on the sofa, I kept recalling every moment of getting along with Li Yuan in my mind.
Not long after Xiao Qingwan and Sishe left, Xiao Changxi, Yang Zijun and Maotu pushed open the door and walked into the study.
When Qin Ming heard the noise, he raised his head and met the worried eyes of Xiao Changxi and the other three girls.
At this time, he also realized that his state had a great impact on the people in the house, and he could not remain so depressed, so he got up and chatted with the three women for a while.
It wasn't until the three girls felt that Qin Ming was not as depressed as he was at the beginning that they returned to Qingxinyuan to rest with confidence.
Qin Ming simply washed up and then returned to the bedroom.
After a busy day, he was already exhausted, so he didn't pay much attention and blew out the candles when he entered the room.
But when he took off his clothes and lay on the bed, a soft body pressed against him.
Then Qingwan's soft voice came,
"Son."
Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He was shocked by this sudden change just now.
He hugged Qingwan's waist angrily, slapped her on the butt and said:
"Didn't you go back to Qingxinyuan?"
Qingwan reached out to cover her buttocks and said pitifully:
"Wan'er, I'm a little worried about the young master, so..."
Qin Ming was moved when he heard this and tightened his arms. After a while, he said:
"Wan'er, do you think the old man will come back again?"
Qingwan lay on Qin Ming's chest and said firmly:
"Young master is so filial, I will definitely come back in the future."

Youshi, Imperial Palace, Lizheng Hall
Princess Jinyang sat on her bed, kicked off her boots, and said excitedly:
"Fifth sister, who do you think Si Zi met at Brother Ming's house today?"
Princess Changle bent down to help Mo Mei tidy up her boots, and then sat next to Princess Jinyang. While combing her hair with a comb, she asked:
"Fifth sister can't guess it. Sizi, please tell fifth sister."
Princess Jinyang clapped her fingers and said:
"There is Wan'er, Zijun..."
As she was talking, Princess Jinyang suddenly stopped, then rolled her eyes, walked close to Princess Changle and whispered:
"Fifth sister, Si Zi has a secret to tell you, but you have to promise not to tell anyone else, especially not to your father or mother. Si Zi told you."
