Chapter 470 Brother Qian, can you do it?
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the ten years of Qianwu are quietly coming to an end.
The streets of Xianyang are bustling with activity.
The bustling crowds of people were shoulder to shoulder, the shops on the street were full of goods, and the cries of hawkers were heard one after another.
Su Zhi was wearing a light blue brocade long dress with delicate patterns embroidered on the hem, which swayed gently with her steps.
She had a silk ribbon of the same color tied around her waist, with a warm jade pendant hanging on it. Her long, shiny black hair was carefully tied up, and a few strands of hair fell beside her fair cheeks, making her face even more beautiful.
At this moment, her slender fingers gently held Li Jingyi.
Li Jingyi was wearing a red jacket embroidered with a lovely plum blossom pattern. She had two small braids on her head, and the braids were tied with bright red hairbands that swayed happily as she walked.
Her rosy little face is like a ripe apple, and her big watery eyes look at everything around her curiously, full of childlike innocence.
Li Chengqian was wearing a black cotton robe with golden silk embroidered on the corners.
He walked steadily, holding Li Jingyou's hand. The father and son walked together. Li Jingyou's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Li Chengqian's, both exuding a heroic spirit.
Li Jingyou was wearing a blue robe. Although he was still young, his temperament was already evident.
The family strolled on the streets of Xianyang, laughing and talking happily.
They walked between the stalls and bought a lot of snacks in large and small bags.
There are fragrant roasted lamb, golden and crispy fried pancakes, and soft, glutinous and sweet osmanthus cakes.
Li Chengqian was holding various delicacies in his hands, with a happy smile on his face.
Su Zhi looked at the pile of things in Li Chengqian's hands and couldn't help but frown slightly. A trace of resentment flashed in her eyes. She said softly, "Brother Qian, aren't you holding the New Year's Day celebration this year? It's been several years since we held it. Will the officials have any objections?"
Her voice was soft and melodious, still as beautiful as before.
Li Chengqian shook his head nonchalantly, a carefree smile on his face as he said, "Lingxi'er, this New Year's Day celebration is just for show. Do you really think anyone would like to come to the palace to dine with the emperor on New Year's Day? It's much more fun to be at home."
"Besides, the scene of thousands of officials looking to Chang'an and all nations paying homage to the Tang Dynasty during the reign of my father in the past will probably never happen again."
Li Chengqian raised his head slightly with some complacency.
Li Jingyou on the side was full of curiosity. He blinked his eyes and asked innocently: "Father, father, why won't there be a scene in the future where thousands of officials look to Chang'an and thousands of countries pay homage to the Tang Dynasty?" His crisp and childish voice was full of curiosity.
Li Jingyou was a little confused because Li Shimin boasted to him every day about the scene during his reign when thousands of officials looked towards Chang'an and all nations paid homage to the Tang Dynasty.
She kept telling him how magnificent it was and how wise she was, which frightened little Li Jingyou so much that he was stunned.
The country was strong and all nations came to pay tribute, and the city of Chang'an was prosperous.
Envoys from various countries came to pay homage and offer rare treasures. The streets of Chang'an were filled with people of different skin colors and clothing. It was a spectacular sight.
Every time Li Jingyou heard Li Shimin talk about this, his eyes widened and his face was full of admiration.
When Li Tai and Li Zhi, who were standing by, heard these words, their faces became distorted and they could no longer maintain their smiles.
If it weren't for Qianwu, the scene in Zhenguan would have been really shocking, but now, times have changed, and Lao Li has gradually become a thing of the past.
Li Chengqian smiled and touched Li Jingyou's head. His palm was broad and he said, "When you grow up, you will understand."
Li Jingyou looked at Li Chengqian helplessly and said, "Father, please stop touching my head. Nanny Sun said that if you touch a boy's head, I won't grow taller!"
There was a hint of coquettishness in his words, which made people laugh.
Hearing Li Jingyou's words, Su Zhi couldn't help but laugh, her laughter was clear and pleasant.
"You'er, your father loves you very much." Su Zhi said gently.
When Li Chengqian heard Li Jingyou say this, he deliberately touched his head and said with a smile: "What's wrong? I saw that when your grandfather touched your head, you didn't react at all. Why can't you react when your grandfather touches you?"
His face was filled with a smile of success, as if he had returned to the mischievous days of his youth.
Hearing Li Chengqian say this, Li Jingyou sighed and said seriously: "Aye, it's useless for me to talk to Aung. Didn't I tell you that?"
His little adult look made people laugh.
Li Jingyi, who was standing by, heard his brother's words and jumped up to Li Chengqian, saying excitedly, "Aye, Aye, if you touch my head, I won't be afraid of not growing taller!"
Her eyes were shining, full of dependence on her father.
Seeing his daughter like this, Li Chengqian smiled, touched her head, and then hugged her in his arms.
Li Jingyi happily hugged Li Chengqian's neck, with a happy smile on his face.
Li Jingyou, who was standing by, saw his sister being held in Aye's arms, and immediately jumped aside, shouting, "Aye, Aye, I want to be held too!"
Seeing Li Jingyou like this, Su Zhihe touched his head and said gently: "Your father has held your sister, can mother hold you?"
Hearing Su Zhi want to hold him, Li Chengqian glanced at her and said, "This kid is too heavy for you to hold. Let me hold him. You can get the things for me."
Li Chengqian handed the snack in his other hand to Su Zhi. Su Zhi looked at Li Chengqian with suspicion and said, "Brother Qian, can you do it?"
There was a hint of worry in her eyes.
Hearing Su Zhi's words, Li Chengqian was like a chicken with blood, and shouted: "What do you mean by impossible? When has your man ever been unable to do it?"
As he spoke, he held Li Jingyou in one hand and Li Jingyi in the other.
Although Li Chengqian was the emperor, he also paid attention to physical exercise on a daily basis. After all, he could be considered a martial artist. Holding two children was really nothing to him.
Strolling on the streets, enjoying this rare family happiness.
The family continued to stroll through the streets of Xianyang and came to a stall selling lanterns.
The stalls are filled with all kinds of lanterns, including lifelike animal lanterns, gorgeous lotus lanterns, and human-shaped lanterns in various shapes.
Li Jingyi and Li Jingyou were attracted by the lanterns, and their eyes were shining with excitement.
"Yeah, mom, I want that rabbit lantern!" Li Jingyi said excitedly, pointing to a white rabbit lantern.
"I want this dragon lantern!" Li Jingyou was not to be outdone and said, pointing to a golden dragon lantern.
Li Chengqian and Su Zhi looked at the children's eager eyes and smiled at each other.
Li Chengqian paid the money and handed the two lanterns to the children.
Li Jingyi and Li Jingyou took the lanterns and ran happily on the street.
Before they knew it, the sky gradually darkened. The lights in Xianyang City began to light up one after another, and the whole city became brilliantly illuminated.
Li Chengqian and his family found a restaurant and prepared to have dinner there.
The restaurant was bustling with people laughing and chatting, celebrating the coming of the New Year.
Li Chengqian and his family sat by the window, enjoying the view outside.
Su Zhi gently picked up food for the children, while Li Chengqian looked at the family with a happy face.
The whole family raised their glasses. At this moment, they forgot all their worries and immersed themselves in this warm and happy time.
After dinner, Li Chengqian and his family left the restaurant.
On the way back to Youting, Li Jingyi and Li Jingyou were already feeling a little sleepy. On normal days, they would have gone to bed at this time.
After returning to Youting, Li Chengqian carried Li Jingyou back to his room, gently placed him on the bed, and covered him with a quilt.
Su Zhi also carried Li Jingyi back to the room and took care of her carefully until she fell asleep.
After comforting the two children, Li Chengqian and Su Zhi came to their bedroom, sat in front of the window, and looked at the moonlight outside.
The moonlight was like water, as if a layer of frost had covered the ground.
Lingxier, this year has passed so quickly."
Li Chengqian said with emotion.
"Yes, brother."
"Another year has passed, but being able to be together as a family is the greatest happiness."
Su Zhi leaned on Li Chengqian's shoulder and spoke gently.
"Well, in the new year, I hope our family can be safe and sound, and our children can grow up healthy and happy."
Li Chengqian hugged Su Zhi tightly.
"I definitely will, Brother Qian." Su Zhi said with a smile.
The two of them sat quietly in front of the window, enjoying this peaceful and beautiful time.
No matter what difficulties they may encounter in the future, as long as the family is together, nothing can stop them.
At the end of the tenth year of Qianwu, the family was reunited.
