Chapter 316 Revisiting the Old Place

The emperor was going to tour Luoyang in the east. When Xie Yi heard the news, he was slightly surprised.

However, when Xie Yi learned about his purpose of going to Luoyang, he suddenly realized that it was His Highness Wei's invitation to favor.

In this way, what should I do?

Following the emperor to Luoyang? I guess Li Tai will have the urge to kill him. If he stays in Chang'an, he will have to face the prince Li Chengqian, who is the governor. In short, right and wrong are indispensable.

So, it is best to avoid it far away.

Du Xijun's proposal gave Xie Yi a good excuse. When he returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, he had to go back to his hometown to inform his ancestors after giving birth to two sons.

Furthermore, moving the grave to Du Xijun's parents is also a big deal. However, when this matter is made public, Du Xijun has to trouble him to go to Chenzhou. After all, Xie Yi is nominally helping his sister-in-law move his mother's grave. If Xie Yi comes forward directly, it is somewhat not very suitable. Although he is the de facto mother-in-law, he must avoid it in name.

Xie Yi was afraid that Du Xijun's health would not recover after giving birth, but after Sun Simiao's diagnosis, he thought it was injustice and as long as it was not very hard.

So Xie Yi ordered people to arrange a boat, and took the boat from Chang'an to enter the Yellow River through the canal. After arriving in Luoyang, he went south along the Grand Canal. The waterway was stable, and a lot of hardships could be avoided along the way.

Xie Yi submitted a memorial request, and Li Shimin agreed. Perhaps Xie Yi's low-keyness is exactly what His Majesty Li Er hopes to see. In short, it is absolutely right to stay away from the two capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang, and stay away from the fight between the princes.

The two sons were too young and were not convenient to take them home, so they had to leave Zheng Liwan and Wu Meiniang to take care of the children, and Xie Yi accompanied Du Xijun back to his hometown alone.

Before leaving, Xie Yi sent his family to the Wangchuan Villa again, leaving Xue Shang guards behind, and then took Kan Ling and Ye Bei to leave Chang'an on a boat.

Xie Yi left early and chose to leave before the Emperor's Royal Departure. Otherwise, the itinerary from Chang'an to Luoyang would be delayed.

From Chang'an to Luoyang, it is almost downstream. It is fast to get there, but it will take only a few days. When you arrive in a metropolis like Luoyang, you will have to delay two days. It is one aspect to purchase some items. The Xie family still has a lot of business here, so you must go and take a look.

After everything was done, before the Emperor's Saint arrived, Xie Yi and Du Xijun took a boat to the Grand Canal again to head south along the Grand Canal.

This trip was not in a hurry, so it was a bit like traveling around. Xie Yi simply slowed down his journey. He watched the scenery on both sides of the strait every day on the boat, and there were beautiful women around him at night.

Du Xijun, the only one who accompanied him, naturally had to work harder. He served Mr. Xie's daily life, but he also took advantage of him and was completely favored by a special room along the way.

So much so that Du Xijun apologized: "I knew that the family would all return to Chenzhou..."

"What? Are you missing your son? Or are you afraid that Li Wan and Mei Niang will be jealous?" Xie Yi asked with a smile, with a joking element.

Du Xijun said shyly: "Of course I miss my child, but it's okay to have Liwan and Mei Niang take care of me; for a few months you have been away, they must stay alone in the empty room..."

"The child is too young, and it is midsummer now. How dare you to torture them? There is no way, so I have to keep Liwan because it is a ancestor worshiper, and it is difficult for my wife to take care of her concubines, so Mei Niang naturally cannot walk with her."

Xie Yi sighed helplessly: "But fortunately you are still there, otherwise it would be lonely along the way..."

"Forget it, this life is the life that you will be bullied by you!" Du Xijun leaned against Xie Yi and sighed softly.

Xie Yi smiled and said, "I wanted to bully you when I was in Huaiyang, but unfortunately I never had the chance... This time I visited the old place again. It just made up for this regret."

"You..." Du Xijun lowered her head and said nothing when she was in Huaiyang. Even though she had a child and became a father, her face still had a girlish shyness.

Xie Yi said softly: "I still remember that night when the red candle shines high. We...a pity we were disturbed by the sound of horse hooves. I have always been a pity for regret. I must make up for it this time."

"It's up to you..." Du Xijun's bird was leaning against others, and his voice was like a small mosquito.

"There is also that broken house and that fire kang. I don't know if it's still there..."

"Um……"

When Du Xijun heard Xie Yi mention the past, his face became brighter and his voice became lower and lower.

Xie Yi looked at the beautiful and charming beauty and smiled and said, "What? It's old husband and wife, but I'm shy? Oh, by the way, I remember you promised your grandmother to have a lot of branches and leaves for the Xie family. Although you have Yu'er now, there are still a little bit."

"Sanlang misses me... have you added a man and a half woman to the Xie family these days?"

"It is a great time to spoil you for your husband during this period, but... you just gave birth to Yu'er and your body is still a little weak. I'll take care of you for another two years."

Xie Yi said softly: "What's more, if you get pregnant now, wouldn't you be able to see and not eat as a husband?... Wouldn't you have to live the hard life in Huaiyang?"

"You, I'm not serious..." Before Du Xijun's complaint could be finished, her cherry lips were blocked.

The night is getting darker, and the boats are shaking gently with the waves...

...

Emperor Li Shimin left Chang'an in late May because he needed troops to protect him along the way, although the royal family still took land.

The weather is hot in May, so I can only rush the road sooner or later, so the itinerary will not be fast. I must set off earlier, so I will arrive in Chang'an before the death of Empress Changsun in mid-June.

I heard that the Luozhou Governor's Office is ready, and the Luoyang Palace and His Highness Wei Wangchi of the King of Wei have been cleaned and repaired, and they are only waiting for the royal members to move in.

The stone statues in Yiquebinyang Cave have also been carved and are now repairing nearby roads to facilitate the emperor and the princes to visit.

Before leaving, Crown Prince Li Chengqian, King Li Zhi of Jin and others went to Baqiao to see him off as usual. Changsun Wuji, Cen Wenben and others were left to assist, and Fang Xuanling followed him as usual.

What is slightly different from the last Eastern Tour was that Li Shimin brought several concubines this time, and because of Li Ke, Concubine Yang was able to travel with him. Li Shimin also wanted Concubine Yang to return to Luoyang Palace to see her. As a princess of the Sui Dynasty, she spent her childhood there.

In addition, Concubine Yan and several young concubines were able to accompany him. Concubine Wei could not leave because she was in charge of the backyard, and Concubine Yin did not have the blessing to accompany him.

Among the princes, the main ones were Empress Changsun's legitimate children, and Princess Changle also appeared in the team. It was precisely because of this that the prince-in-law Changsun Chong was not allowed to accompany her. In addition to taking care of the members of the royal family, she helped Li Shimin with some things. Changsun Wuji was naturally happy to see that it was successful.

In this way, Prince Li Chengqian led the prince and the ministers to send His Majesty the Emperor away from Chang'an and went to the eastern capital Luoyang for a trip. At this time, it was only three or four years since the last Eastern Tour, so this Eastern Tour by His Majesty the Emperor was somewhat of a revisiting the old place. (To be continued.)
