Prince Wei's Mansion is still Prince Wei's Mansion, but Li Tai has already left Chang'an, and only Princess Yan of Wei is in charge of various affairs in the mansion. Yan Shi is pregnant now, and she doesn't want to take care of many things. Some people went to fief the land, and Yan Shi didn't add any more. The huge Wei Palace seemed a little quiet.
When Li Yuanying ran out to find someone, Mrs. Yan was teaching Li Xiaoyuanqiu to read poems, "Jiangnan" from Yuefu Poems. Yan's voice was gentle and gentle, and he asked Li Xiaoyuan to read carefully: "You can pick lotus in the south of the Yangtze River, lotus leaves and He Tiantian."
Li Xiaoyuanqiu read it obediently, then turned around and asked Yan Shi: "What does Tiantian mean?"
"Tiantian means overlapping." Yan Shi answered him, "You have seen the lotus leaves, the lotus leaves are high and low, covering each other, it is 'Tiantian'."
Li Xiaoyuan nodded suddenly.
Li Yuanying ran fast, and when he finished listening to the mother and son's conversation from a distance, the waiter followed up panting, trying to inform Yan Shi that Li Yuanying had come.
Yan Shi turned her head and saw Li Yuanying standing beside her.
Li Yuanying didn't know whether Yan Shi still liked him coming, but he still told Yan Shi that His Majesty Li Er was waiting outside, and he wanted to take Li Xiaoyuanqiu to General Li Jing's mansion to play. Li Yuanying promised Yan Shi: "I will take him away properly, and I will definitely bring him back properly, and I will never let him lose a single hair!"
Yan asked Li Xiaoyuan if he wanted to go. Li Xiaoyuanqiu hadn't seen him for a long time, if it wasn't for being hugged by his mother, he would have flown to Li Yuanying's side a long time ago. Hearing Yan Shi's question, he naturally answered happily.
Li Yuanying happily picked up Li Xiaoyuan and left.
Yan Shi asked the people who usually waited on Li Xiaoyuan to follow her, and she sat in the same place and gently stroked her belly, which was not yet pregnant. As soon as Li Tai became a vassal, Wei Wang's mansion quickly became deserted, and the wives who visited the door enthusiastically in the past disappeared. But being clean has its benefits. She doesn't expect anything else now, she just hopes that her two children can grow up safely.
On the other side, Li Yuanying went out with Li Xiaoyuan on his shoulders, and was immediately scolded by His Majesty Li Er, who said that he would not be able to pick up people like this.
Li Yuanying stuffed Li Xiaoyuan into His Majesty Li Er's arms and gagged His Majesty Li Er's mouth. Li Xiaoyuan was already two or three years old, and he was chubby again, so he hugged him tightly. His Majesty Li Er is a face-saving person, so he caught him in a steady manner, personally carried him to the carriage and let him and Li Xiang ride in the carriage together.
Li Jing wanted to raise his rare and exotic beasts, so the mansion he usually lived in was a little far from the downtown area, and the courtyard was very quiet. Someone had come early to say that His Majesty Li Er would come to see the yaks, so Li Jing asked people to tie up all the birds and beasts that should be tied up, and all the servants and maids stood ready to welcome the arrival of His Majesty Li Er and his party.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Li Mansion, Li Yuanying took the little radish heads out of the carriage one by one, and led the people to run in ahead of His Majesty Li Er. They all came out to play, and His Majesty Li Er didn't care about Li Yuanying's behavior, so he just turned around and asked Li Chengqian, "Have you seen a yak?"
Li Chengqian hadn't chatted with His Majesty Li Er very much, and he couldn't respond to His Majesty Li Er's question suddenly. But he quickly returned to normal, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it." Although he loves to play a lot, he has never seen this kind of big guy growing on the cold plateau.
His Majesty Li Er said: "I haven't seen it before, but I heard from King Jiang Xia that he saw it when he went to marry Wencheng. It was big, the meat was delicious, and it was very fierce. Once they got there Songtsan Gan Bu organized a fight with yaks."
While speaking, Li Jing and Hong Fu had already come out to welcome them. Li Jing's legs and feet were not good, and he walked a little slowly. When he saw His Majesty Li Er, he began to apologize.
His Majesty Li Er asked Li Jing not to be too polite, it was because they wanted to come here temporarily, how could he ask them to be considerate in every way. Only a few older ones went in, and Li Yuanying had already led a group of small radish heads to watch the yaks. There are only two yaks alive in Chang'an, one black and the other white. The black and white hairs are long and dense, and the horns are really long and majestic as Dai Ting said.
A group of children were lying on the edge of the fence and screaming, and they all thought that the two plateau guests were very beautiful. Li Yuanying waited for Li Jing to lead His Majesty Li Er and the others over, and asked Li Jing with great anticipation: "Can this yak be ridden? Their fur looks so long. It must be very comfortable to sit on their backs!"
Li Jing was ordered to beat Tuyuhun, and he replied: "People in Tubo and Tuyuhun both raise yaks, and of course there are people who ride yaks, but you just send them over. The people who feed them don't know their habits. I can’t ride it for the time being, for fear that it will go crazy and hurt people.”
Li Yuanying was very disappointed.
His Majesty Li Er said: "You are very courageous, you dare to ride anything."
Li Yuanying said: "A horse is as fierce as it is not tamed. Why don't we ride it as usual? As long as you tame it, you can ride it!" He asked Li Jing again, "When will I be able to ride it? I will come and ride again at that time!"
Li Jing said: "I may not be able to support them here." He explained to Li Yuanying the inside method. This yak seems to be a kind of creature that does not want to leave its homeland. even die. Like the two yaks in front of me, they obviously lost a lot of weight on the road, and they didn't want to eat after they were delivered.
Otherwise, this yak has good stamina, and it is a very good animal force if it is domesticated. Moreover, their fur is thick, and it can be peeled off to make clothes to keep warm. Some places can even be used to build houses.
After hearing this, Li Yuanying lay down on the fence with the other little luotou and looked at the two yaks. Maybe it was influenced by Li Jing's words. He felt that they were in low spirits, as if they were missing their hometown far away on the plateau.
There are vast grasslands, rolling snow-capped mountains, the sky is particularly blue, and the world is very wide.
Li Yuanying had seen enough of the yaks, turned around and said to His Majesty Li Er: "Even these yaks know that their homeland is hard to leave. Wen Cheng and the others must be even more sad to stay away from Chang'an."
His Majesty Li Er was silent for a moment, and asked Li Yuanying to sit down and talk about various news from Luoxi City.
A group of little radish heads who had never been out of Chang'an, heard the story of Li Yuanying's getting up in Tubo and sat down to listen with interest.
Li Yuanying compiled the news from Dai Ting, and told them about the customs of Tubo and Wencheng's recent situation. A girl struggled to blend in when she couldn't understand the language, and she knew how difficult it was. Wencheng told him in the letter that although there were also difficult times, she would not be discouraged when she saw the sunflowers that she had planted by herself and bloomed in the sun. Don't worry about her.
When Li Yuanying read the poem written by Wencheng, both Sizi and Hengshan cried. They thought that if they also went to such a far place, how much they would miss Chang'an! The son threw himself into His Majesty Li Er's arms, choked with sobs and said, "Father, please send someone to bring Sister Wencheng back, it's too far away, there's no one I know, Sister Wencheng is so lonely!"
His Majesty Li Er glared at Li Yuanying.
With Sizi and the others here, wouldn't it be nice to talk about happy things? Also read poetry!
Li Yuanying immediately shut up.
His Majesty Li Er comforted the two sentimental young daughters with kind words: "Songtsan Gampo is young and promising, and he is a very good husband-in-law. Your sister Wen Cheng will not be wronged when she marries."
Si Zi and Heng Shan nodded with a half understanding.
Since the emperor said so, they believed it.
On the way back, Li Yuanying came up with a new idea and drove his horse close to His Majesty Li Er: "Brother Emperor, I have an idea, please listen to it!"
