After Li Chen told his mother that he wanted to go back to Chang'an, Wu Zetian didn't say a word, and he was approved.

Now Wu Zetian has no intention of caring too much about things, she often asks the almighty secretary Shangguan Wan'er to help organize banquets in the harem, invite ministers from the court, chant poems, and drink for fun. There are brothers Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong waiting beside them, which makes the empress happy.

Since the establishment of the crown prince, the empress rarely let her children enter the palace to ask for peace, probably because she felt upset when she saw it. It is common for the prince not to see his mother for ten days and half a month, and only Shangguan Zhaorong and the Zhang brothers, who have been serving the empress, can see her.

When Li Chen took Song Yu to greet his mother, he actually hadn't seen his mother for more than a month. Wu Zetian is in good spirits now, but in the end, his age is there, he is nearly eighty years old, how can he say that he is not sick at all? It's just that she has things to do, and most of them are very satisfying, so she doesn't look like an old person.

Li Chen didn't just go back to Chang'an alone, but also accompanied by Taiping and her daughter, the county lord of Wanquan, and Li Longji, who Song Yu had been talking about.

Li Chen couldn't figure out what Li Xian was thinking, now that Li Xian was the crown prince, he and the crown princess Dou still had no heirs, if he could successfully ascend the throne, then Li Longji would be the prince of the country, and he should attach great importance to Li Longji's teaching. Therefore, when she and Song Yu went to visit Li Xian in the East Palace, they didn't think that when Song Yu told his uncle that he wanted to invite Ah Yu to Chang'an Buxian Garden to play, Li Xian would agree.

Unexpectedly, when Li Xian heard Xiao Song Yu's words, he smiled slightly, and said very kindly: "As long as your grandmother agrees, of course it's okay." ”

As a grandmother's careful liver, Song Yu entered the palace with his mother before leaving, and after coaxing his grandmother to a happy heart, he said to his grandmother-

"Grandmother, can you let Apu and Yu'er go to Chang'an together? I heard that he has never been out of Luoyang, so it's too pitiful! ”

said as if he had been out of Luoyang himself, and his little bit of the world was just dozens of miles longer than Li Longji, and he arrived at Li Chen's courtyard in the suburbs.

It is not wrong to say that it is a generational parent, Wu Zetian has an estrangement to his grandson, but not an external grandson. In addition, the little guy of Little Song Yu knew how to make his grandmother happy, and coaxed Wu Zetian to know that this kid had other plans, and he still smiled very kindly while hugging him and said yes.

Li Chen also obeyed his mother, his mother was not close to her son and grandson, after thinking about it, Li Chen felt that it was probably because her mother thought that her future dynasty would still be returned to the Li family, so she felt unhappy when she thought about it, and she disliked them very much, so Li Longji wanted to go to Chang'an, just go, she was too lazy to care.

However, even if Wu Zetian planned to return to Li Tang, the princes and county kings who were recalled from all over the country a few years ago could only stay in Luoyang, and without the approval of the empress, they were not allowed to take a step out of Luoyang.

Princess Taiping and Li Chen went to Buxian Garden together, Lu Guan Lu Sicheng, who had not been seen for many years, was now gray-haired, and when she saw the two princesses, she was so excited that she was almost speechless.

Lu Guan clasped his fists in both hands and saluted deeply, "The old minister thinks that in his lifetime, he will never be able to see the princesses to the Garden of Envy again." ”

Li Chen smiled slightly, "Lu Sicheng, don't be polite, what did you say, didn't I go to Buxian Garden with Sister A now?" ”

"What the princess said is very true, the old minister lost his words, and the old minister lost his words."

The words are always said so lightly, although Lu Guan has not been in Luoyang all these years, he has never heard of the ups and downs in Luoyang. In the middle of the night, when there was no one at night, the old people often remembered the days when the princess and the princes were still young, and the first emperor and the current empress went to the garden together. is the most ruthless imperial family, and those warm years are not worth mentioning in front of the imperial power.

Several children of the first emperor, filial piety to the emperor Li Hong was weak since childhood, and the first emperor was a white-headed man to send a black-headed man. Fortunately, the once deposed prince has been taken back to Luoyang, and the sage also ordered the king of Luling in Fangzhou to return to Luoyang, and the emperor's heir Li Dan was reduced to the prime minister.

These things, it's okay if you don't want to, and when you think about it, you can't stop feeling sad. But no matter what, if the first emperor has a spirit in the sky now, he should be at ease.

Lu Guan had mixed feelings in his heart, and his eyes fell on the two little Langjun standing beside the princess. After many years, Princess Yongchang's habit of not liking high-profile travel has not changed, and she brought a bunch of light horses and a few of her personal guards, so the two Xiaolangjun did not wear any colors that could make people recognize their identities, and they were plain regular clothes, which could hardly hide their nobility.

One of the little Langjun's facial features is very similar to the old horse when he was young, and his eyebrows can be painted, but the horse used to always look old and serious, but now this Xiao Langjun has a little more aura, he just stood beside the princess like that, even if there was no smile on his face, his eyes seemed to be smiling.

Lu Guan asked, "Princess, is this the little county king?" ”

Li Chen lowered his head, just in time to meet Song Yu's clear gaze, and the smile on his face softened a little, "Hmm." ”

Lu Guan couldn't help but sigh, it was really blue.

Li Chen lived in the courtyard that her father personally arranged for her in the past, and Taiping took Wanquan to live in a courtyard south of Li Chen.

Li Chen was too lazy to worry about Song Yu and Li Longji, and directly asked Shu Ye to lead the two little guys to the place where her brothers used to stay. Song Yu and Li Longji have never been so unrestrained as now, the tea trees all over the mountains, there are wild vegetables and wild fruits on the mountains, and it is still the end of spring, and the purple and red mountain flowers will decorate this spring very lively, Song Yu and Li Longji are so happy that they are crazy.

Taiping smiled and said to Li Chen: "You follow their temperament so much, you really have ambitions in the future." ”

Li Chen looked at the sister beside him, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, Guangping will take care of them." ”

Song Yu and his father sometimes disobey each other, and actually worship his father tightly. As for Li Longji, don't mention it, that little guy doesn't know when he became obsessed with the drum, and he admired his uncle's drum technique so much that he threw himself to the ground, saying that he wanted to apprentice. But Song Jing is used to it, and he has always talked about etiquette, Li Longji is now the prince, his teacher must be a saint or designated by the prince, Song Jing of course said that apprenticeship is inappropriate, but if Li Longji is interested, he can ask for advice at any time.

As soon as Taiping heard Song Jing, his smile was still the same, "The good horse that Ah Mei chose back then, Song Jing has never wronged you over the years." ”

Li Chen blinked, laughed, and asked a little mischievously: "Does Sister feel that Cousin Xue has wronged you over the years?" ”

Probably leaving the breathless place in Luoyang, Taiping also felt a little in the mood, but when he remembered the past few years like a lost dog, he still had palpitations in his heart. She sighed lightly and said: "If there is any grievance or not, as long as he can be safe, it will be the greatest blessing for me." Sister, you don't know how difficult it has been over the years. ”

When Li Chen heard this, he didn't talk.

After all, her brothers and sisters are not without hatred for their mother. They were originally the proud sons of the sky, but because of their mothers, the martial arts family was above them, and even the little cool officials dared to offend them. Behind every villain's ambition, there must be someone to support him, and it is his mother who supports those people.

Over the years, Taiping has also broken his heart for Xue Shao, first Taoguang Yanghui stayed in Chang'an for several years, and then his mother ordered them to go to Luoyang, so he went tremblingly, and he didn't dare to take a breath in the atmosphere, for fear that it would alarm his mother's suspicions.

Since her father's death, Li Chen's life has not been very smooth, but because of Song Jing's presence, she has never been aggrieved. Song Jing seems to many people to be inflexible, he knows the system and the law, and with the benevolence, righteousness, morality and body law as thick as a brick on his head, he can choke people to death at will, and even the empress dares to call out. But Wu Zetian was very affected by Song Jing's set, and never embarrassed him, and when he encountered a case that he had to handle, such as the Zhang brothers, the empress did not fight with him, but just found something she thought was more important and urgent for him to deal with.

For Taiping's fear over the years, Li Chen can imagine, but he can't understand it. But Taiping's situation is still better than Li Dan, Li Dan was confined in the harem, and he almost died.

These things seem to be in the past now, but if there is a slight mistake, it may be a catastrophe.

Over the years, none of her brothers and sisters have had a hard time. Some people are frightened in the harem, some people pretend to be crazy and stupid in the poor countryside, and some people live in simplicity, they should be the kind of people who are high-spirited and walk with the wind.

Li Chen thought, these things don't need to be empathetic, she feels sad just thinking about it.

"Sister."

Taiping looked at Li Chen.

Li Chen showed her a smile without haze, and said very seriously: "Bitterness will come, you believe me." ”

Taiping was slightly stunned, then laughed.

I hope so.

Li Chen said that he hadn't seen Master Wuyun for several years and wanted to go to Lingyin Temple. Taiping said that she also wanted to go to Lingyin Temple to offer incense, so Li Chen took the family to Lingyin Temple.

Today's Lingyin Temple is full of incense, and good men and women go to Lingyin Temple to seek marriage. Li Chen broke away from Taiping and the others, and played against Master Wuyun in the courtyard where he was hosting.

"The princess hasn't been back to Chang'an for a long time, and now that she is back, she can feel the changes in Chang'an."

Li Chen pinched a sunspot in her hand, and the sunspot was sandwiched between her slender fingers, making her hand more and more white as jade. She put Baizi in a proper position a little carelessly, "Naturally, there is, much more deserted than before." ”

Master Wuyun raised his eyes and looked at the princess: "The saint now lives in Luoyang, the capital of the gods, and Chang'an is naturally not as lively as before. Princess, when will Chang'an be as lively as before? ”

Over the years, the forces of the Lingyin Temple and the Mo family have been dormant, and since they are used by her, they will believe in her arrangement. It's just that sometimes, the wait is too long, and they also need a visible end ahead.

The princess met Master Wuyun's gaze and smiled slightly, "The vegetarian Buddha sound can't make the master more patient than me. ”

Wuyun: "......"

Li Chen stood up and looked at Song Yu, who was not far away and didn't know what to do with Li Longji, a little tenderness flashed in her eyes, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she said softly: "Master don't worry, you see, King Yong, who let you take care of him in the past, is already His Royal Highness the Prince." My mother is old and not as energetic as before, so she just needs to be patient. ”

Wuyun followed Li Chen's gaze, and the princess did not arrange for many people to follow behind the little county king, but just arranged her most trusted Shu Ye to watch the two noble little Langjun on the side.

"If the great thing is successful, what does the princess plan to do in the future?"

Master Wuyun has followed this little princess all these years, and he still knows her temperament very well. Since the current saint ascended the throne, she has been in obscurity, and now Song Jing's status in the court is extraordinary, she often asks the power of Lingyin Temple and the Mo family to cooperate with Song Jing, and she rarely comes forward directly, and many things are arranged for Shu Ye to come forward.

Master Wuyun can't say whether he is happy or unhappy about such a change in the princess, but the princess has been thinking about it for many years, and she is probably a little tired in her heart, but she has never expressed it.

Li Chen turned his head, looked at the master, and said with a smile: "If the big thing is successful, I will no longer care about these messes." What's so good about worrying about these things every day, my heart is tired to death. As long as I fulfill my father's last wish, I will travel all over the rivers and mountains, all over the world, and I will no longer care about these bad things. ”

Master Wuyun: "...... The princess is really, good ambition. ”

But what are they going to do? The princess had worked so hard to accumulate these civil powers, and finally had such an orderly situation today, did she plan to leave it alone?
