33.033:Gentleman (6)
Li Chen remembered that when she went to Buxian Garden accompanied by Aunt Chengyang, the young man was in the middle of changing his voice, his voice was slightly low, but now that he had changed his voice, his voice was not as low as the second and third brothers, with the unique magnetism of a male voice, but became clear and pleasant.
Probably the British Duke Li Ji died, and he picked up the British Mansion with the help of his uncle, so he is now much thinner than before, and the childishness of a child has faded away in him, and he has more youthful sharpness and graceful bearing. It seems that in the blink of an eye, the boy has grown up, and Aunt Chengyang is no longer there.
Things are not people, Li Chen couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Li Jingye saw Li Chen just looking at him with watery eyes, and he was also a little confused, thinking that she didn't like it, so he smiled and said, "Don't like it?" There are still a lot of underage horses in the stable, and they are docile, so I will take the princess over to see them? ”
Li Chen hurriedly shook his head, "I don't dislike it, just leave it." ”
Li Chen stepped forward and wanted to touch the horse, but she was not tall enough, and her hands could not reach the horse's head even if she raised her hand. The horse seemed to be able to understand human nature, and the two hooves of the front foot stepped on the ground, and then lowered its head.
Li Chen looked at Li Jingye in surprise, "It's so good!" ”
Li Jingye looked at the big eyes with surprise, and a soft place collapsed in her heart, she could always remind him of Ah Mei in the British Mansion, but compared with Ah Mei, the little princess in front of her was more eye-catching. But she is the proud daughter of the sky, and the stars holding the moon are natural for her, and the look she exudes is naturally different from the sister who lost her father at a young age.
Li Jingye smiled slightly, stepped forward and gently stroked Bai Xue's lowered horse's head, and said softly: "It's very smart." ”
Li Chen's hand gently stroked the mane on the horse's body, the tentacles were soft, and the palm was a little itchy. She unconsciously showed a smile, turned her head and said to her second brother Li Xian, "Second brother, I want this horse." ”
Li Xian raised his eyebrows and smiled connivingly, "Okay, if you want it, then give it to you." ”
Li Chen got a white horse, his heart was so beautiful that he was bubbling, and he wanted to show off to Taiping, but he saw that Taiping had already sat on a horse about the same height as hers, the color was different, the shiny hair was shining in the sun, and the person who acted as a groom in front was of course their little cousin Xue Shao...... I'm really blinded.
When Li Chen was silent, Li Xian and Li Jingye on the side had already talked, what the boys said was nothing more than a national event, Li Jingye inherited the title of Duke of England, Li Zhi was optimistic about his riding skills and archery, and naturally gave him a position as a palace guard, Li Chen thought, in two years, his father would probably let Li Jingye out.
After the honor, he has a knighthood, and he also served as a personal guard in the palace, as long as Li Jingye does not make mistakes in the future, he will have infinite scenery in this life.
Li Chen was dragged to the riding ground by Taiping, slipped a few laps on the horse farm, and then ran to the Hall of Eternal Life.
The saint's love for Princess Yongchang is incomparable, as long as it is not specially ordered, Princess Yongchang can enter and leave the Palace of Eternal Life without notification. Li Chen left and right outside the Hall of Eternal Life, and quietly ran into the Hall of Eternal Life alone, wanting to surprise his father. However, before she could walk in, she heard the voice of the prince's elder brother-
"A position like Zong Zhengqing has always been held by the descendants of the clan, and now it is inappropriate to let Wu Chenghei hold this position?"
Wu Chenghe?
Li Chen involuntarily stopped. Zong Zhengqing's position is a third-grade official, and Li Chen feels that he doesn't have much power. But Zong Zhengqing specializes in managing the affairs of the imperial family, and has always been served by someone from the Li Tang clan, why did his mother suddenly want Wu Chenghei to be this official? And what kind of person is Wu Chenghe? Li Chen said that she was ashamed, because she had no impression of this person at all.
But if this person wants to inherit the title of her maternal grandfather, Zhou Guogong, whether he will be a good person in the future Li Chen doesn't know, but this person's position will inevitably be opposed to her brothers and even her and Sister Taiping.
At this time, Wu Zetian's voice came-
"What's wrong? I and your father are a family, Wu Chenghei was recalled from Lingnan, and inherited the title of your maternal grandfather Zhou Guogong, if you rashly give him the official position of a member of the court, and I am afraid that he does not know much about the affairs of the court, think about it, a few days ago, the position of Zong Zhengqing was vacant, and now it happens that the heir has returned from Lingnan, and it is most suitable for him to take the position. ”
Li Chen stood there and tilted his head, thinking about whether he should make some noise and run in with a bang, or should he stand here and listen to who won the mother and brother?
Before Li Chen could finish hesitating, Li Zhi spoke, "This is not a big deal, what your mother said is also reasonable, Zong Zhengqing is empty and empty, so Wu Chengji will serve for the time being." ”
Li Chen blinked, and before the person reached the door, he shouted in the corridor, "Aya, Yongchang has come to see you." ”
Several people in the room were stunned, and the originally somewhat stagnant atmosphere was swept away, and their eyebrows were unconsciously dyed with smiles.
Li Chen ran in and saw his mother and the prince's brother, he was stunned at first, and then his eyes were slightly bent, "Auntie, prince and brother, you are all here." As she spoke, she said to Wu Zetian with a smile, "Yongchang went to Qingning Palace just now, and A-Niang was not here, so I thought that A-Niang must be here in Aye." ”
Wu Zetian stretched out his hand and led her over, Li Chen still had a horseback riding outfit that didn't change out, looking at this person lively and playful, his little face was still red. Wu Zetian raised his hand and touched her cheek lovingly, and asked with a smile: "Went horseback riding?" ”
Li Chen nodded, "Sister took me to ride a horse, the second brother and the third brother are all here, and Cousin Xue Shao is also there." Saying that, Li Chen looked at Li Hong, "Brother Prince, the second brother and Li Jingye have made an appointment to compete in horseback riding and archery in three days, let's go and see it together, okay?" ”
Li Hong can also ride a horse and shoot archery, but he has not been in good health since he was a child, and once he is sick, he has to recuperate and cannot see the wind, which is much weaker than Li Xian. Li Chen felt that it was not a good thing for the prince's brother to either deal with his group of officials in the East Palace every day or talk about political affairs with his parents, so it was better to take the time to watch the game between the second brother and Li Jingye with her and relax his mood.
Li Zhi stood up and walked to Wu Zetian's side, looking down at Li Chen with a smile in his eyes, with a bit of ridicule in his tone: "Didn't you still want to go out a few days ago?" Why do you still want to go to the game with your prince and brother? ”
A few days ago, Li Chen lost a front tooth, and he was reluctant to go out, and he didn't even want to go to Qingning Palace to ask his mother for peace. At first, Wu Zetian thought that Li Chen was sick or uncomfortable, and he was quite anxious, and after dealing with the urgency in his hand, he took someone to the princess's courtyard.
The daughter loves beauty, and Wu Zetian was also a little girl, so she also understands the mood of the little daughter. Wu Zetian has a thorough understanding of his children's personalities, don't look at Li Chen's reluctance to go out at that time, but she definitely can't hold it for a few days, she can hold it back, Taiping can't hold it back, so he doesn't want to care about her.
It's just that Li Zhi frowned that day, saying why didn't he see Yongchang today?
Although the youngest daughter is not as lively and active as Taiping Xiao, she is not a person who likes to be locked in the house, she can be seen hanging around the harem every day, and she will go to the Palace of Eternal Life every day intentionally or unintentionally. That day, I felt that the Palace of Eternal Life was very quiet, and Li Zhi was also a little unaccustomed to it, so he went to Qingning Palace, and only his queen was practicing calligraphy in Qingning Palace.
As soon as Li Zhi asked, Wu Zetian smiled and told Li Chen about changing his teeth, and when the emperor heard it, he laughed, and after laughing, he asked Li Chen to take him to Qingning Palace. As the king of a country, the emperor held his little daughter on his lap and coaxed him for a long time, and Li Chen, who was depressed and pursed his lips the whole time, was willing to smile.
Seeing this, Li Zhi couldn't help laughing, but he could see that his little daughter looked at him with an annoyed face, so he couldn't help but smile.
At that time, I was depressed and aggrieved when I wanted to come to see my father, but now I took the initiative to ask the prince and brother to play together? As a father, Li Zhi is happy to see his children have a harmonious relationship, but such a favoritism is inevitably a little unpleasant in his heart.
Li Hong smiled and said to Li Chen: "I have been recuperating in the East Palace a few days ago, and I have never met the officials of the East Palace, but now that I am better, I have to meet them, I am afraid that I will not be able to go with you to watch the game between the second brother and Li Jingye at that time." ”
Li Chen looked disappointed, "Didn't you have half a day's effort?" ”
Wu Zetian looked at the crown prince and said in a gentle voice: "You are in better health, you don't have to worry about state affairs in such a hurry, it is better to go and have a look with Yongchang." ”
Li Hong shook his head with a smile and said, "I thank my mother for her concern, but there are too many things in the East Palace, and if you don't deal with them in time, you will feel uneasy in your heart." As the prince of the country, the word Datang is pressed on his shoulders, which is a heavy responsibility, so that he does not dare to relax for a day.
When Wu Zetian heard this, he smiled, and did not dissuade him again.
The mother and son looked very harmonious, and did not feel that there was any unhappiness between them, and looked up at their father, who was looking at the prince and brother, with a satisfied and proud expression.
In some ways, the prince's brother is very much like his father. When my father ascended the throne, he was afraid that he would lose Ah Weng and the Tang Dynasty, and the last dynasty was changed from three days to one day when Taizong was in Taizong, and he was diligent in government and loved the people, and he did not dare to slack off for a day. Today's crown prince brother has always been cultivated by his father as a successor, although he has not yet reached the age of a weak crown, he has been imprisoned several times, which is enough to show his father's expectations for him.
Looking at his mother again, her mother's eyebrows were serene, and the smile on her face was gentle and elegant, but Li Chen felt a heart-piercing coldness on her body.
