Luoyang and Chang'an were built in a very early time, but in the former Sui Dynasty, because the old cities of Chang'an and Luoyang were too dilapidated, new cities were built one after another, and they were all made by Yuwen Kaizhi, the former Sui craftsman, who was the gentleman of Qi Niang in Li Xiu's family and Yuwen Ju's brother. This also led to the urban construction of Chang'an and Luoyang very similar, and they were all very neat market structures.

There is also an imperial palace in Luoyang City, because Yang Guang moved the capital from Chang'an to Luoyang, but the imperial palace in Luoyang is located in the northwest corner of the city, while the imperial palace in Chang'an is located in the middle of the north of the city. After Li Xiu and his group entered Luoyang City, they moved directly into the imperial palace in Luoyang City. This was also what Li Shimin had given special instructions before coming. After all, whether it is the eldest princess Tong'an or the Princess Pingyang, they are qualified to live in the palace. Of course, the most core palaces in the palace are definitely not allowed to live.

As soon as he moved into the palace, Princess Tong'an immediately summoned the old servant who had said he had seen her daughter before. Since the loyal old servant discovered this, he has been staying in Luoyang and not returning to his hometown. Instead, he inquired about the whereabouts of Princess Tong'an's daughter. So Princess immediately summoned the other party as soon as she arrived here.

Princess Tong'an and her daughter have been separated for many years, and this time it was almost her last hope, so the old lady seemed very excited. Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang were also with her. After a while, she saw an old servant with equal white hair quickly walked in, and then bowed to Princess Tong'an and said, "I'm here to see Your Highness, Princess!"

"No need to be polite. Do you know the whereabouts of the princess during this period?" Princess Tong'an said anxiously at this time. The title of Princess is usually a title that can only be obtained by a princess or a few princes. However, Princess Tong'an is Li Yuan's only sister, she has no son, and her daughter has also helped Li Yuan talk to him many times, which is considered to be a contribution to the Tang Dynasty. So even if she disappeared, Li Yuan still posthumously named her as Princess Guanghua to show her kindness.

"For the eldest princess, I am fortunate to be humiliated and finally found out the whereabouts of the princess!" The old slave reported to the eldest princess Tong'an with excited expression.

As soon as she heard this good news, Princess Tong'an stood up excitedly, but then she shook her body a few times, and her right hand covered her chest, opened her mouth and gasped for a few times, her face turned a little pale, which scared Princess Pingyang next to her, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said, "Auntie, don't be too excited, don't hurt your body!"

Li Xiu was also a little worried at this time. After all, Princess Tong'an is already almost sixty years old. If she really had a heart attack, cerebral thrombosis or something due to emotional excitement, that would be bad.

Fortunately, Princess Tong'an finally calmed down. She stared at the old servant below and asked word by word: "Tell me quickly, where is Huining?"

Huining is the name of Princess Pingyang's cousin, which is only one word different from her name "Xiu Ning". In fact, these two names were originally discussed with Princess An and Li Yuan's wife Gu Du, so the names of their cousins ​​are so similar.

"You are the eldest princess. I found out that the woman who looks very similar to the princess is actually a female crown. I live in a Taoist temple in the south of Luoyang City. I usually wait in the temple and rarely contact outsiders. I dare not disturb you without authorization, so I still can't be sure if the other party is the princess?" The old servant reported the report again.

Hearing that the other party was not sure whether the female crown was her daughter, Princess Tong'an couldn't help but show a little disappointed expression, but then she cheered up and said with a firm look on her face: "Prepare the car and take me to that Taoist temple!"

The old servant below immediately agreed when he heard this. In fact, he had found the Taoist temple for several days, but he had never dared to go in. The main reason was that he was afraid that something would lead to his inability to take on the responsibility. So in the past few days, he had just sent people to guard outside the Taoist temple, and was waiting for the arrival of Princess Tong'an.

Seeing her aunt's excited appearance, Princess Pingyang was relieved to let her go alone, so she handed the child to the nurse to take care of her, and then personally helped Princess Tong'an get on the carriage. Li Xiu was actually very tired. After all, after walking for so long, he wanted to take a bath and rest, but he was also worried about Princess Tong'an, so he got on the carriage together.

It was already afternoon. Seeing that the sun had set in the west, it might be time for dinner in a while, but Li Xiu and others on the carriage had no idea. The road was led by the guards in front of them, and the carriage was galloping all the way out, leaving the city gate and heading straight for the south of the city.

Luoyang is named after Luoshui, but in addition to Luoshui, there is also a very important river, that is, Yishui. Yishui and Luoshui jointly support the Heluo culture. On the mountain walls on both sides of the Yishui, there is the famous Luoyang Longmen Grottoes in later generations.

When it comes to Longmen Grottoes, many people think that this cave was carved from the Tang Dynasty. The reason for this is that 60% of Longmen Grottoes were carved from the Tang Dynasty. However, in fact, the Longmen Grottoes had already begun to be built during the Northern Wei Dynasty before the Tang Dynasty. However, the scale of the cave at that time was not large, probably about 20% or 30% of the later generations. Therefore, the Longmen Grottoes are not very famous, but the mountains and rivers of Longmen are very beautiful, so the scenery of Longmen has always been one of the famous local landscapes in Luoyang.

It is precisely because Longmen Mountain is famous that in addition to Buddhism, Taoism also focuses on it. Therefore, there are also some Taoist temples distributed among the mountains and rivers of Yishui. Of course, except for a few famous incense temples for worship, the remaining Taoist temples are mostly some practice views and are not open to outsiders.

The carriage took Li Xiu and the others to a small hill on the banks of the Yishui River. The hill was not large in area and was not very steep. It was probably only a few hundred meters away. The mountain was full of bamboo, and even in winter, it was still green and looked very delicate.

"You are the eldest princess, the Taoist temple is on this hill, but there is no road to this hill, and the carriage cannot be reached at all, so we can only walk up!" At this time, the old servant who led the way stepped forward and spoke again.

"Going up the mountain!" Princess Tong'an was eager to miss her daughter. Not to mention a small hill, even if the Yellow River blocked her, she would find a way to fly over.

Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang could also understand Princess Tong'an. At that time, each of them supported the old lady, and the three of them took the lead in climbing the path up the mountain. This mountain was obviously not a famous mountain, and no one came here normally. Therefore, the road up the mountain was actually a rugged path. Many places were covered by dark yellow weeds, but some shallow footprints could be seen on some roads, indicating that someone had walked here.

It was getting late at this time and the mountain road was not easy to walk on. However, Princess Tong'an did not complain at all. Finally, at dusk, the group finally climbed to the top of the hill. Compared with the rugged mountain road, the top of the mountain seemed relatively flat. Although the area was not large, there was a very lush bamboo forest. Among the bamboo forests, a corner of the eaves quietly stretched out, and a few wisps of white smoke rose from the bamboo forest, looking very quiet and peaceful.

Li Xiu and his wife supported Princess Tong'an and walked through the gravel path among the bamboo forests. They immediately saw a small Taoist temple hidden between the bamboo forests. It was said to be a Taoist temple, but in fact it was more like a house hidden in the mountains. From the outside, there were only one main hall with two wing rooms inside.

The only sign representing Taoist temple is a mottled plaque on the gate. Because it was getting late, the light in the bamboo forest was darker, and the handwriting on the plaque was blurred. Therefore, after Li Xiu identified it for a long time, he barely recognized the words "Yishuiguan" written on it.

Looking at the simple Taoist temple in front of her, Princess Tong'an was excited again. No, to be precise, it should be fear, and even her whole body began to tremble slightly, because she was afraid that if the girl crown inside was not her daughter, she would even have her last hope. And at her age, she would probably never see her daughter again in her life.

Feeling the fear coming from her aunt, Princess Pingyang gently patted Princess Tong'an's hand, and a reassuring smile appeared on her face. Then she came forward in person and gently patted the door knocker. The empty knocking sounded in the mountains and forests, alarming several birds living in the bamboo forest.

As the knock on the door sounded, a light footsteps came from the Taoist temple. Then the door opened, a middle-aged woman with an ordinary appearance and in a Taoist robe opened the door. When she saw so many people standing outside the door, she couldn't help but be shocked and immediately said vigilantly: "Who are you looking for, what's the point of coming here?"

Seeing this middle-aged woman opening the door, Li Xiu immediately determined that the other party was definitely not the daughter of Princess Tong'an. After all, the other party was a concubine for Yang Guang. In addition to his background, his appearance was also very important. The other party was too ordinary and could never be a concubine!

"May I ask, are there other people here?" Sure enough, when Princess Tong'an saw the other party, she was confused for a moment, and then asked.

The middle-aged female Taoist priest may have seen that the eldest princess Tongan looks kind and has female relatives around her, so she must not be a robber. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "There are indeed other people in our view, but I don't know who you want to find, Mrs. Old Lady?"

"Senior sister, who is here?" Just as the middle-aged female Taoist priest finished speaking, a crisp sound suddenly came from the yard again. Then a graceful female Taoist priest who was about thirty years old walked out. When she saw Princess Tong'an in front of the door, her steps stopped suddenly!
