In the back garden of Xingqing Palace, under the thick shade of trees, Li Ze lay on his back on a bamboo recliner, spreading his limbs, but Liu Ruyan was sitting next to him, holding a round fan in his hand, slapping it all over and over again.

In front of the two, there was a small case. Xia He was carefully peeling grapes, and after peeling them, they placed them in a small plate.

Next to her was a big box, inside and outside the box, in the middle wall, ice cubes were neatly tidied. Another small box inside, clusters of green and verdant grapes, condensed with a little water droplets, and it looked extremely fresh.

Liu Ruyan picked up a grape and brought it to Li Ze's mouth. Li Ze opened his mouth and first blew it in his mouth, then he gently bit it. The grape juice like honey flowed into his mouth, making him squint his eyes with satisfaction.

"Li Rui is really very filial. It took a lot of effort to send this grape from the Western Regions!" Liu Ruyan tasted a piece himself and nodded repeatedly, "Xia He, you can try it too. The grapes in the Western Regions are indeed much sweeter than those in ours. No wonder the wines they produce are much better than those in other places. The key is the raw materials!"

"A concubine riding the red dust laughs. No one knows it's grapes!" Li Ze stretched and smiled, "Just like this small box of grapes, wrapped in layers, used the military post station, 800 miles in a hurry, and ran all the way day and night. Look, the cut is still green!"

"Young Master is unhappy?" Xia He asked with a smile.

"I was naturally happy to eat such fresh Western Region grapes, but I was not very happy when I thought of this guy using a public instrument." Li Ze said: "Looking back, I asked Lu Lin to scold him severely, no one was allowed to do so. Next time, I will break his lonely crutch!"

"Li Rui is going to be a general!" Xia He said: "How can he break the other person's orphans at will?"

"I am a good teacher!" Li Ze snorted coldly: "When I was in a secret camp, didn't I peel his pants and knock him on twenty boards hard?"

"There is such a thing?" Liu Ruyan was very interested. "Li Rui looked extremely calm. What mistake did he make and was punished like this?"

"Calm down?" Li Ze shook his head and said, "That kid was too smart back then. It was only after I hit him hard that he became honest. Later, he followed me in the study for two years, and then went out to be a spy detective, which restrained his arrogance and cunning aura. Otherwise, how many times had that kid died?"

"You can't be a weapon without pecking." Liu Ruyan nodded and said, "My husband's vision of people is quite accurate. Except for Li Mi, Li Rui is the fastest-progressing person. He is the second person to become a general, and he, the general, has more power and responsibility than Li Mi, the general. The entire northwest has been handed over to him."

After Xia He peeled a full plate, he then peeled one and stuffed it into his mouth. After tasting it, he nodded repeatedly: "It's really good. Young Master, for the sake of this grape so delicious, don't let Lu Lin write a letter. Let me write it! I'll scold him well, okay?"

Li Ze glanced at her, "Don't spoil them. The thousand-mile dike is destroyed by ant hole. You are too tolerant of them. If it falls into Wu Jin's hands in the future, they will be miserable."

Xia He smiled: "I must be scolding you more fiercely."

"Okay, let's do it!" Li Ze grabbed a handful of glucose and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing the juice. It made Liu Ruyan and Xia He laugh.

The royal privilege is here.

Ordinary people thought that some urgent military situation was running on the road, but in fact, it was just for the emperor and the imperial concubines to taste the grapes that had just been picked from the trees.

And Li Ze is already an extremely frugal and self-restrained emperor.

The family of three has very little time to get together like now, either this one is outside or that one is outside.

Needless to say, Li Ze.

Liu Ruyan is now becoming more and more addicted to the charity she is responsible for. And she is now the responsibility of the royal reputation, and the position of the Mother of the Nation becomes more and more stable.

Xia He is not as good as Liu Ruyan in the folk. Whether she was the Minister of Revenue or the current imperial concubine, she always hid herself very low-key, but those who are truly in the officialdom know the power of this low-key imperial concubine.

The Tang Dynasty's financial system and the financial system that is growing slowly are growing bit by bit under her control.

In fact, in the minds of officials who truly understand the inside story, Xia He is far more important than Liu Ruyan, who is the queen.

"Husband, do you really want to transfer your elder brother back? He still wants to be responsible for the Third Legion." Liu Ruyan whispered: "This may be the last battle of the empire, and he doesn't want to miss it."

When Xia He heard Liu Ruyan talk about Liu Chenglin, he lowered his head and continued to concentrate on peeling grapes.

"The First Legion needs him even more. What's wrong? Brother-in-law thinks the importance of protecting the capital and the center of the court is not as good as destroying the grasshoppers in the autumn in the south?" Li Ze said jokingly.

"Why are you serious?" Liu Ruyan frowned, "Brother never asks me for it. This time he hit Mu Zhong and came here."

"I'll tell you serious too!" Li Ze spread his hands and said, "This is not my decision alone, but the decision of everyone in the entire military committee. And Gongsun, Zhanghui, and Xu Xiang also suggested doing this. The position of the First Legion is the most important among the five legions and the highest position."

"But there is no war!" Liu Ruyan said dissatisfiedly.

"You brother and sister are both violent!" Li Ze laughed: "Qiao'er, this is a national event, so family affection must be put aside first. Not to mention anything else. Just the coordination issue between the second, third and second legions, I can't put my elder brother and Shi Zhuang together."

"You are also well versed in military affairs. Although the Second and Third Legion faces enemies in the southwest and southeast directions, from another perspective, this is one. If the eldest brother and Shi Zhuang take office as the second and third legions, then if the two legions need to work together, who should be the main and who should be the auxiliary? You must know that the eldest brother has always been dissatisfied with Shi Zhuang."

"Do you just trust Shi Zhuang so much?" Liu Ruyan said dissatisfiedly: "Is he really better than my brother?"

Li Ze pondered for a moment and said, "Brother is not inferior to Shi Zhuang when making decisions and commanding operations in the face of the battle, but in terms of overall layout, Shi Zhuang is stronger."

Liu Ruyan snorted: "I don't know if it's true."

Xia He, who had peeled another plate of grapes, smiled sweetly at this moment, looked at Liu Ruyan and said, "Empress, the First Legion is in the central place, so you can't let an outsider guard our door, right? If there is any change, you will be really crying."

Liu Ruyan opened her mouth and said nothing.

Li Ze said that Shi Zhuang was generally stronger than Liu Chenglin, and she was not convinced, but what Xia He said was a truth. The places where all the troops of the First Legion were located were key places of the empire. This position was really not worry-free for outsiders to sit in.

It seems that my brother can only give up and go back to the First Corps honestly to take office. My brother must be unhappy, but my sister-in-law must be happy, and my parents must be happy. It is also a kind of compensation for the family to be able to reunite for a long time.

Thinking of this, Liu Ruyan suddenly said, "Dan'er and Ning'er are about to come back from Wuyi. I don't want to let them go to Wuyi to go to school again when the autumn starts. Let them go to Chang'an. My husband hopes that they can go to school with ordinary children, and it is the same in Chang'an."

"Young Master, I think so too. Ning'er can no longer be left outside." At this point, Xia He raised his hands and said in agreement: "In Wuyi, no one dared to take care of her. A girl has become a tyrant in the school, causing trouble everywhere, and her academic career has not improved much, and the fight is getting stronger and stronger."

Looking at Xia He's worried look, Liu Ruyan couldn't help laughing: "Ning'er was following me when she came back. She liked to dance with guns and sticks, and I could teach her. Alas, Dan'er and Ning'er, I like Ning Yatou more, like me. Dan'er doesn't know who she is. She is young, and she talks and does things like an old man, and looks sternly, and it makes people feel annoyed. Xia He, I agreed that after taking them back, they both were placed in my room. You're still running outside all day and don't have time to take care of Ning Yatou. Besides, Ning Yatou's temper, dealing with those numbers every day with you, doesn't have to kill her."

Xia He couldn't refute Liu Ruyan, so he looked at Li Ze. Li Ze actually closed his eyes at this time and looked like he was asleep. Seeing this, Xia He couldn't help but reach out quietly with annoyed, and the nails on the little finger of his left hand thrust harshly pricked Li Ze's foot.

He retracted his feet and Li Ze could not pretend to be asleep. He opened his eyes and looked at Liu Ruyan and smiled, "It's good to be calmer. By the way, I think Dan'er's grades are excellent in mathematics. After he comes back, he might as well follow Xia He to get a deeper knowledge. How about it?"

Xia He nodded with satisfaction. Her purpose was not Li Dan, she wanted to steal her daughter back.

"Okay, okay! I can't ask for anything!" Unexpectedly, Liu Ruyan's answer made both Li Ze and Xia He dumbfounded: "Dan'er will be the emperor in the future. He must really understand the knowledge of Xia He, otherwise he will be deceived in the future. Xia He is the best teacher in the School of Finance and Economics. With her teachings, Dan'er will definitely learn the most amazing things. That's it. After you come back, you come to Dan and I will take Ning'er."

Li Ze looked at Xia He and spread his hands helplessly.
