Chai Shao left angrily, but he was stopped by an eunuch before he walked out. Then the eunuch said a few words in a low voice. Chai Shao's face immediately turned anger into joy, and he followed the eunuch to the hall next to the square.

The hall was also full of lanterns. Princess Pingyang was sitting on the couch and Li Yuan sat next to her and chatted with her beloved daughter. It was a very warm picture. However, when Princess Pingyang saw Chai Shao coming in, her face immediately changed. The person she was most reluctant to see was this person. However, when she thought of her father's good intentions, she couldn't help but sigh and said nothing.

"My son, I pay homage to my father!" Chai Shao immediately saluted Li Yuan after coming in, and then asked Princess Pingyang with a look of concern: "Sanniang, how are you in your health? Is the injury more important?"

Princess Pingyang didn't want to pay attention to Chai Shao, but seeing her father's ardent eyes made her feel soft and finally said coldly: "I'm fine!"

Seeing that his daughter finally talked to Chai Shao, Li Yuan couldn't help laughing happily, and immediately called Chai Shao to sit beside him and said, "Sichang, come and sit next to me. It's rare for our family to get together. Take this opportunity to have a good chat. I would say any misunderstandings and grievances in the past, so as not to hurt my body if I keep it in my heart!"

Li Yuan clearly wanted to help his daughter and son-in-law make peace. Chai Shao was also happy when he heard this. He was about to say something, but then Princess Pingyang suddenly interrupted him and said, "Father, my son is a little tired, I want to go back and take a rest!"

When Li Yuan heard Princess Pingyang say this, he knew that he was a little too anxious. He immediately signaled Chai Shao not to speak, and then he smiled and advised: "Sanniang, it's still early, and the guests outside are talking lively. If you, as the host, go back first, wouldn't it be a pity for the guests? I happened to be a little hungry, so why not let someone prepare some food? What should we talk about while eating?"

Princess Pingyang couldn't bear to refuse her father's request, so she had to nodded and then ordered the servants to prepare food. However, she did not say anything to Chai Shao again, which made Li Yuan quite helpless. Speaking of which, his daughter, Empress Dou, was the most like his deceased wife. Although she looked weak on the outside, she was actually soft on the outside and hard on the inside. As long as she decided, even nine cows could not be pulled back.

After a while, the servants from the Princess Villa brought the prepared food. However, when Li Yuan saw the things in the bowl, he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

Princess Pingyang was stunned when she saw the things in the bowl. She saw several round white balls floating in the clear soup in the bowl, which looked very cute, but it was the first time she saw this thing, and she couldn't help but look at the maid next to her.

"Report to Your Majesty, Princess, the kitchen people said that this is called Lantern Festival. Ma said it suits the princess' taste, so he told the kitchen that if the princess eats, let them cook this Lantern Festival!" The maid replied hurriedly.

"Lanxiao? This name is really suitable, and it was brought back by Ma Sanbao. Let's try it together!" Li Yuan couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

Princess Pingyang was moved when she heard that Ma Ye specially told her to make it for her. She immediately put a Yuanxiao next to her mouth and took a bite. As a result, the fragrant and sweet juice flowed out, and the soft and sticky glutinous rice skin made it tasted different.

"The taste is good, Ma Sanbao is considerate!" Li Yuan could not help but nodded and exclaimed after tasting it. Then he ordered Princess Pingyang's maid, "Let me make more and give it to all the dear ministers outside!"

Hearing Li Yuan's order, Princess Pingyang's maid looked embarrassed. After a while, she said, "Report to Your Majesty, I heard from the kitchen that the Lantern Festival was brought by Mr. Ma from Li's Ma Family. I originally wanted the princess to taste it, so the number was very small, I'm afraid..."

The maid didn't say anything, and Li Yuan also understood what she meant, but he asked Princess Pingyang curiously, "Sanniang, the Maid's Maid's Maid's Maid's name is Li Xiu, who had cured your injuries in Qingzhou before?"

"Your father, it is Li Xiu. His family originally lived next to the other courtyard. Uncle Ma met him by chance. Thanks to this, he saved his daughter's life!" Princess Pingyang also said happily when she mentioned Li Xiu.

On the way back, Li Xiu was always in charge of her diet, but in just a few days she had a hard time raising her appetite. After coming back, she thought she would never be able to eat the food made by Li Xiu, but she didn't expect that he would even send some Lantern Festival. No wonder it was so suitable for his own appetite.

However, compared to Princess Pingyang's happiness, Chai Shao next to him cursed: Why is it Li Xiu again? This kid is like a ghost, and he can hear him wherever he goes. What makes Chai Shao even more angry is that Princess Pingyang, who was originally cold, rarely smiled when she mentioned Li Xiu. Although this does not mean anything, it still made him jealous. After all, she is Pingyang's husband!

"Well, Li Xiu's medical skills are good, but he is a little impulsive. If you polish it carefully in the future, it will be useless!" Li Yuan naturally heard the praise of Li Xiu in his daughter's words. Although he knew that Li Xiu had beaten Chai Shao, it was not easy to refute his daughter's face, so he said an ambiguous sentence.

"Your Majesty, when it comes to Captain Li, I happened to meet him at a lantern festival outside. He was so kind to save Sanniang. How about your Majesty go and see him?" At this time, Chai Shao suddenly spoke, but when he was saying these words, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes. With Princess Pingyang protecting him, he really dared not do anything to Li Xiu, but there are many ways to take revenge on someone, and some ways are more cruel than killing someone directly.

"Oh? He is here too?" Li Yuan said in surprise when he heard this. After all, he invited the guests today, but he immediately thought of the reason and smiled, "I understand that since Ma Sanbao has a good relationship with that Li Xiu and he is Sanniang's life-savior, he will naturally invite him over."

When he said this, Li Yuan glanced at Princess Pingyang, and then said with some emotion: "Among these children, what I feel most owed is Sanniang, you, Sanniang, at your age, when you were taking care of your husband and children, but Sanniang, you are fighting for the court, and you almost threw your life on the battlefield. This Li Xiu can save your life. My father should indeed see him in person!"

Li Yuan said sincerely, and Princess Pingyang was deeply moved, but Chai Shao sneered in his heart. As long as Li Yuan was willing to see Li Xiu, he would have already succeeded more than half.

Perhaps in order to show his sincerity, Li Yuan did not ask Li Xiu to call him into the hall, but went out to see Li Xiu in person, which shows that he was thanking him as a father. Princess Pingyang was moved, and was worried that Li Xiu would say the wrong thing, so she asked someone to carry the brocade bed and leave the hall with her father.

Li Xiu was chatting with Ma Ye at this time, holding a stack of handkerchiefs in his hand. Because he couldn't put his arms in his arms, he had to hold it in his hand. But at this moment, there was a noise in the crowd in front of him, and then he saw the crowd retreating to both sides. Then a middle-aged man wearing a round neckline and a long gown strode, and Princess Pingyang's brocade couch could only follow behind. And seeing the civil and military men on both sides saluted, there was no need to ask that this middle-aged man must be Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing Li Yuan walking towards this side, Ma Sanbao immediately pulled Li Xiu, then stepped forward and saluted, "I, Ma Sanbao, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Li Xiu also saluted behind Ma Sanbao, but in his identity, he was not qualified to claim his identity at all, so he was so happy that he did not speak. However, what he did not expect was that after Li Yuan helped Ma Sanbao up, he suddenly looked at him a few times and said, "You are the Li Xiu who cured Sanniang's injury?"

Li Xiu was also stunned when he heard Li Yuan’s question, but he immediately reacted and said in a humble and arrogant manner: “Your Majesty, I am Li Xiu!”

Seeing that Li Xiu was a little illegitimate son who could deal with him calmly when he saw him, Li Yuan was surprised, and his impression of Li Xiu changed a little. It seemed that this young man was indeed a bit outstanding in being given the attention of Ma Sanbao.

Many people around him also nodded secretly, thinking that this young man was not simple, especially those girls who gave Li Xiu the things they had in love with before, were all filled with joy, hoping that he would come to propose marriage in a few days.

"Person Li is really a young hero in the Tang Dynasty. He received so many love-making things in one night. It seems that it will take not long to drink Person Li's wedding banquet!" At this moment, Chai Shao, behind Li Yuan, suddenly said, which made Li Yuan suddenly realize that Li Xiu was holding a stack of handkerchiefs in his hand. It seemed that many noble girls who came today also favored Li Xiu.

"Li Zhengwei is a talented person and has made great contributions to the court. It is not surprising that he has won the favor of women." Li Yuan smiled and said, "When he heard his praise, the women who liked Li Xiu and his family were even happier. He felt that he had indeed read the wrong person, but Ma Ye and Princess Pingyang's faces changed drastically, but it was too late to stop him.

"Haha, Li Zhengwei was originally the son of General Li Jing, Yongkang County Duke, and he was indeed a handsome man. But Chai heard that more than a year ago, Li Xiu had fallen in love with a little nun, and the other party died because of him. As a result, he had a big fight with General Li and left the house. He was really a love-in-law. Now that he saw that Li Zhengwei accepted so many love-stricken things, he must have come out of his love-stricken injury, right?" Chai Shao suddenly changed his face and said with a cold expression.

What Chai Shao wanted was this opportunity to expose Li Xiu's true identity in front of Li Yuan and others. If he did this normally, it would be useless. However, before, Li Xiu was at least infatuated with the name of infatuation, but now he was holding many love-taking things given to him by women. This huge contrast is enough to make people believe that he is a hypocritical hypocrite. By then, his reputation will be completely destroyed. No matter how he explains it, it will be useless. It can be said that Li Xiu was forced into a dead end at this time.
