Li Chen couldn't help but laugh when he looked at his brother's embarrassed but calm appearance.

Li Hong was very uncomfortable laughing at them, and was about to stand up with a straight face to teach them a few words for the dignity of the eldest brother, but before he could speak, his throat was lightly itchy, and then he coughed uncontrollably.

Seeing this, the brothers and sisters who were originally making fun of the prince's brother and sister all smiled, and looked at Li Hong with worry in their eyebrows.

Li Chen suddenly remembered that she had heard before that the prince's brother was poisoned.

Finally, Li Hong stopped coughing, raised his eyes, and saw that his younger brothers and sisters were staring at him with three pairs of eyes, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then said with a smile: "I'm fine, it's okay to cough." ”

At this time, the eunuch brought a cup of smoking black stuff to Li Hong, and Li Hong took the cup and drank it without saying a word.

Li Chen originally thought that Li Hong was poisoned, and he was a little irritable in his heart, but when he saw this, he took advantage of the topic to play. She looked at the eunuch with displeasure, "What did you take for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" ”

The eunuch hurriedly replied: "Back to the princess's words, it is the lung tea prescribed by the imperial doctor to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Li Chen said: "From the time this cup of tea is brewed to the time it is given to His Royal Highness the Prince, are you responsible for everything?" ”

Li Xian and Taiping glanced at each other, and they didn't know where this eunuch made Ah Mei unhappy.

The eunuch was stunned and didn't understand why Li Chen asked this, but he still answered truthfully, "No, there are special people who make tea." ”

Li Chen made a small face and said: "You are all so bold, since it is the lungs tea of His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a person who is specially responsible for making tea, but when you bring it to you, have you ever tried whether it is inappropriate in this tea?" ”

When the eunuch heard this, he hurriedly knelt down, "The princess is angry, this tea has been drunk before it is served." ”

Li Chen said: "Then why don't you let Shangshi try the tea I gave to the prince's brother?" ”

When the eunuch heard this, his tongue was a little knotted, and he felt that he was really unlucky today, "Then, that was cooked by the princess himself—"

Seeing this, Li Hong smiled dumbly, and said to Li Chen: "Yongchang, Shicai is fine, what is not happy now?" So saying, he glanced at the eunuch and told him to get up.

The eunuch was grateful, kowtowed and thanked him and quickly withdrew.

Li Chen frowned, only feeling that the original little irritability had turned into a lot of irritability, so he simply didn't say anything.

Taiping reached out and touched Li Chen's side cheek, and then reached out to help her pull a few strands of broken hair from her side cheek behind her ear, "Sister? ”

Li Chen raised his head and muttered, "I suddenly remembered that Sister Helan was poisoned. ”

Li Xian and Li Hong glanced at each other, and then Li Xian said with a smile: "Mrs. Wei Guo was poisoned because she didn't expect her uncle to poison her next time, which would cause a tragedy. ”

"All the tragic things are because I trust the people around me too much. A few days ago, Wan'er also told me that in the past, during the Warring States Period, the situation was chaotic, and the etiquette was bad, and there was a clan leader who was poisoned by people close to him when he was sick. I was scared when I saw that my brother had drunk the tea I had brewed without hesitation. ”

When Li Xian heard this, he laughed, "Could it be that Yongchang will hurt the prince's brother?" ”

"Of course I won't!" Li Chen glared at Li Xian angrily, "But the prince's brother is the prince, and the ministers all say that the prince's brother is the foundation of the country, since this is the case, then it's always right for the prince's brother to be careful on weekdays." Even if I won't harm my brother, what if someone close to the prince and brother wants to harm him in the future? The story Wan'er said, wasn't the leader in it poisoned by someone very close to him?! ”

The expression on Li Hong's face was a little ridiculous, he didn't expect Li Chen to think so much because of a cup of tea. He smiled and said softly to Li Chen: "Yongchang, you also said that the story was during the Warring States Period, when the etiquette was bad and the music collapsed, which was very different from the peace today. What's more, we are all brothers and sisters, since childhood, our father and mother taught us to love each other, and our teachers also taught us to be benevolent people. ”

Li Hong said, his eyes fell on Shangguan Wan'er behind Li Chen, and his tone was still gentle but obviously a little displeased: "Don't tell such cruel stories to the princess in the future." ”

Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly bowed her head and responded: "The servant knows his mistake, and he will never dare to do it again in the future." ”

Li Chen: "......"

She swore that she had never hated Confucius's benevolence so much. The prince and brother have studied Confucianism since he was a child, and every day is the father and son, the monarch and the ministers, and every day is benevolence, loving his parents and brothers and sisters, then loving his cousins and sisters, and then loving the people of the world...... She used the topic to play, and didn't mind destroying her innocent and lovely image to remind him to be vigilant from now on, but the prince and brother didn't feel it at all, he was benevolent or benevolent in his heart!

When Li Xian and Taiping heard Li Chen's words, they didn't think too much, but they simply felt that Li Chen heard that the prince's brother was about to accept the crown princess, and they were probably worried about the future sister-in-law's behavior, so they made such a fuss.

Li Xian said: "Yongchang, don't think about it, the crown princess chosen by my father and mother for my brother must be impeccable in terms of character and virtue. After she married her brother, they became husband and wife. Haven't you heard of it? Husband and wife are one, and if the husband is good, the wife is good. In the future, my sister-in-law will only care for and love my brother more than we do. ”

was misunderstood, Li Chen looked up to the sky and sighed: "Why does no one understand my sorrows? ”

Seeing this, Taiping and the two brothers couldn't help laughing, Taiping stretched out his hand and nodded the tip of Li Chen's nose, and said with a smile: "Because your sorrow is not a matter." ”

Li Chen and Taiping sat in the East Palace for a while, although the prince's brother occasionally coughed so much that people felt that their lungs were really going to cough out, but the rest of the time, their mental state was not bad, before Li Chen left, he never forgot to mention the story of the Warring States leader that Shangguan Wan'er said, and named the eunuch next to the prince's brother. It doesn't matter if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not at ease, but as a close attendant of His Royal Highness the Prince, it must be remembered.

Li Hong couldn't cry or laugh, when Shangguan Wan'er left the East Palace, he couldn't help but blame Shangguan Wan'er a few words, it was nothing more than those messy and cruel stories, not only don't tell the princess, you are not allowed to read it again.

Shangguan Wan'er nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said that the maid would definitely not look at it again in the future.

For the first time in his life, Li Chen received the teachings of the prince's brother, and his attitude was okay at first, but then he simply pulled Sister Taiping out of the East Palace.

Li Xian shook his head, his tone helpless and doting: "This Yongchang, when will he be able to understand something?" ”

Li Hong smiled slightly, "There's nothing wrong with her being like this, she has so many brothers to love her, no matter how ignorant she is, she will definitely not wronged her by half a point." ”

When Li Xian heard this, his eyes fell on the two younger sisters who were walking in front of a group of palace maids.

What grievances are not grievances, who can say for sure?

They have two aunts in memory, a princess of Chengyang and a princess of Xincheng, and their fathers are very loving, but what is the result?

In their lives, have they ever felt wronged in their hearts?

When Li Chen and Taiping left the East Palace, they met Princess Yiyang and Princess Xuancheng who were going to Qingning Palace to ask Wu Zetian for peace. The two princesses have probably lived in the court for more than ten years, and they have never interacted with anyone, so they look a little wooden.

Princess Yiyang is now Li Zhi's eldest daughter, and when Concubine Xiao Shu was executed, Princess Yiyang was already sensible. The tragic death of her mother and the fact that she was changed by Wu Zetian after her death seemed to have left a psychological shadow in her heart, and when she saw Li Chen and Taiping now, she lowered her eyes and did not dare to look directly at the two little princesses who were descended by Her Royal Highness the Queen. On the contrary, Princess Xuancheng looked at Li Chen and Taiping, and then said with a smile: "The two younger sisters are very similar to Her Royal Highness the Queen, no wonder they are deeply favored by their father." ”

When Taiping heard this, he didn't lift his eyelids.

Li Chen glanced at the two old sisters and smiled, but they didn't say anything.

Princess Xuancheng said again: "The two younger sisters are going to Qingning Palace, and it just so happens that my sister and I are also going to Qingning Palace to ask Her Royal Highness the Queen." ”

Princess Xuancheng is different from Princess Yiyang, when Concubine Xiao Shu died tragically, she was still an ignorant child, from childhood to adulthood, when she was locked up alone in a small house in the courtyard, she heard the palace maids outside talk about Princess Taiping and Princess Yongchang who were favored by the saints in an extremely envious tone. But has anyone ever thought that she is also a princess. If it weren't for the tragic death of her mother and the blindfold of her father after being raped, how could she have reached such a point where her age has not declined? Out of the court, I saw Taiping and Yongchang from a distance with a naïve and ignorant look of the world, and how many people thought that she should have grown up in the palm of her hand like this. The little princess is full of smiles, as soft as the spring sun, which makes people feel excited, but she and her sister can't even hide the luxurious clothes. Princess Xuancheng couldn't help but wonder if the smiles on their faces could still be so pure and lovely if the two little princesses knew that their sister from the same father had been so harmed by their mother.

It's a pity that Taiping couldn't understand Princess Xuancheng's painstaking efforts, she only glanced at Princess Xuancheng and said: "Now that my father is unwell, the prince's brother is recuperating again, and my mother has a lot of things to take care of in addition to taking care of the harem." The two sisters were lucky enough to let the prince and brother see it, since your mother has nodded her head about your marriage, she will definitely not regret it. If you have nothing to do, don't run to Qingning Palace, you just need to stay in your own place and wait for you to get married. ”

Princess Xuancheng was choked by Taiping's words, obviously she didn't expect Taiping to react like this.

Taiping didn't look at Princess Xuancheng again, and only threw down a sentence.

"I will convey your thoughts to my mother."

Then he threw down the two princesses and went to Qingning Palace with Li Chen.

Li Chen didn't have any special feelings for Yiyang and Xuancheng, and he didn't think about giving them anything. Concubine Xiao Shu has been dead for so long, and Li Sujie has also been ordered not to be hired, no matter how much these two princesses toss, they can't afford to toss the slightest wave. It's just that when she thinks of the prince and brother, she always doesn't know what to do. The prince's brother is in such poor health, and he has been taking medicine for three days, and the truth may not be what she once heard.

Li Chen thought that no matter what, she always reminded the prince and his close attendants in her own way.
