I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

The situation in the Western Regions was extremely complicated. If they returned too late, by the time the Tang Dynasty's cavalry had conquered the mountains and rivers of the Western Regions, the envoys would have found that their country was gone.

……

Zhuque Street in Chang'an City was crowded with people and very lively.

Li Chengqian was wearing a black brocade robe and a jade crown on his head, and was walking on the street holding Su Zhi's hand.

Su Zhi was wearing a lavender silk dress today with flowing sleeves and an emerald green ribbon tied around her waist, which made her figure more graceful and her face more beautiful.

Her face was filled with a happy and satisfied smile, bright and charming.

Li Chengqian's gaze fell gently on Su Zhi, and he felt a little guilty and pity in his heart. He secretly vowed to spend more time with her in the future.

Among the crowd, Jinyiwei commander Zhang Xianhuai led a group of his men, hiding among them with a vigilant look.

They were dressed in casual clothes and looked closely at His Majesty and the Queen, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Although Li Chengqian had said to Zhang Xianhuai in a friendly manner before: "Xianhuai, don't worry. In this Chang'an City, the people live and work in peace and are loyal to the court. We will not be in any danger. You must trust the people."

However, years of guard duties had made Zhang Xianhuai a cautious character, and he was always worried. Seeing this, Li Chengqian could only shake his head helplessly and let him go.

Speaking of which, Li Chengqian and Su Zhi have been married for several years and have two children, but the days when the couple can truly spend time together and enjoy sweet time are very few.

This trip together made Li Chengqian inexplicably feel a strange feeling of marriage before love.

They enthusiastically visited the four major shopping malls in Chang'an City. The malls were bustling with people and the wide variety of goods was dazzling.

They shuttled between various shops, carefully selecting the items they liked. In a short while, they had purchased mountains of various goods, which were then handed over to the Jinyiwei to be sent back to the palace.

When you are tired of walking around, you can find a street food stall and taste the mouth-watering delicacies.

From the steaming hot roujiamo, to the fragrant candied haws, to the soft and sticky glutinous rice cake, every bite is full of the flavor of life. I ate until my stomach was full and my legs were so sore that I could hardly move.

Even so, both of their faces were filled with happiness and joy, without feeling tired at all, and all the troubles in the world had been thrown behind them.

Su Zhi usually lives deep in the palace, where she has to take care of many affairs in the harem and always worry about her young children. It is a rare opportunity for her to have some free time, so naturally she wants to enjoy this rare free time to the fullest.

As a queen, such opportunities to go out and play without any restrictions are rare.

As for Li Chengqian, he also took this opportunity to relieve the heavy pressure that had been accumulating in his heart for a long time.

Ever since he ascended the throne, his time no longer belongs to himself. He is burdened with heavy government affairs every day. Now he has such an opportunity to relax and accompany Su Zhi. For him, it is really the best thing.

Seeing dusk gradually covering the earth and the afterglow of the setting sun stretching their figures out, Li Chengqian and Su Zhi knew that the day was about to end.

They randomly found a small restaurant on the street and planned to return to the palace after dinner.

As soon as she sat down, Su Zhi excitedly picked up an exquisitely crafted sachet and came close to Li Chengqian. She compared them with each other with a smile on her face, saying, "Brother Qian! Look at this sachet! The fragrance is so elegant and pleasant! You will look great wearing it."

Li Chengqian took the sachet with a smile, sniffed the refreshing fragrance, and then placed it on his chest with a little doting.

Su Zhi blushed slightly upon seeing this. She patted Li Chengqian's thigh a little embarrassedly and said angrily, "You, this sachet is usually placed on the sleeve or waist, but you put it in your arms. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"

In fact, she knew in her heart that although the intimate act of placing the sachet in her arms was not common, it was full of Li Chengqian's cherishment of her, so this anger was just a girl's shyness.
