Pei has two paintings recently, one painting is the scene of the queen's spring silkworms, Her Royal Highness the queen led the internal and external women to pick mulberry leaves in the mulberry garden, everyone was wearing a special Zhai clothes for the silkworm ceremony, with different expressions, some were picking mulberry leaves, some were looking down at the mulberry leaves in the basket, and Her Royal Highness the queen was wearing a bow robe, looking up slightly with a smile, as if looking at the mulberry leaves slightly higher in front.

The other painting is Chang'an City, with many buildings and busy traffic. I don't know how many spring flowers and autumn moons are hidden in it, rich and gentle.

Although Pei's two portraits have not yet been fully painted, they have successfully made Li Chen look at them for a long time.

Li Chen: "These two paintings have not been finished yet, when will they be finished?" "The portrait of the queen's silkworm is okay, about two meters long, but this portrait in Chang'an City is twice as long as the queen's silkworm painting.

Pei Shi said with a smile: "The queen's silkworm picture is to wait until the palace banquet of the mother to kiss the silkworm to give it to her mother, so she is not in a hurry." But this picture of Chang'an, I want to dedicate it to my father and mother during the New Year's family banquet. ”

Taiping said with a smile: "Brother Crown Prince is also very talented, he must have helped his sister-in-law with this picture of Chang'an, right?" ”

Pei Shi glanced at Taiping and smiled without saying a word.

Li Chen thought to himself, although the prince's brother and uncle reached an agreement with his mother on many things in the court, his sister-in-law's brain was extremely bright, and she knew that the prince had made her mother unhappy in state affairs, so she changed her life to please her mother, more or less, and it could also play a certain role in alleviating contradictions.

Li Zhi and Wu Zetian went to Luoyang together, and Li Chen also wanted to follow. Wu Zetian said that this year, there are princesses and princesses in Chang'an City, as well as Taiping and others are in Chang'an, so it is better for Yongchang to stay in Chang'an, anyway, it is quite troublesome to travel eastward to Luoyang.

Li Zhi thought about it, although he was a little reluctant in his heart, he also obeyed Wu Zetian's wishes and let Li Chen stay in Chang'an.

Li Chen pouted and looked at his father very sadly.

Seeing this, Li Zhi couldn't help laughing, sighed lightly and said, "Yongchang, how can you be good in the future?" ”

Li Chen glanced at his father with some confusion, and then said: "It's not good, in the past, Aya and A-Niang would take Yongchang with them wherever they went." Now that Yongchang has grown up, Aya and A-Niang dislike Yongchang and don't take me with them when they go to the Eastern Capital. ”

As soon as Li Zhi heard her words, he was worried. Fortunately, his queen taught him the trick of defeating the enemy, so Li Zhi didn't know where to conjure up a painting, which was a plum blossom, and the plum blossom had not yet been colored.

Li Zhi spread out the painting and said to Li Chen with a smile: "This plum blossom was painted by my father, and there are nine hundred and eighty-one plum blossoms on the plum tree that have not yet been colored. I've done the math, your mother and I went to the Eastern Capital for about so many days, from the day we left Chang'an, you can color a plum blossom every day, when you paint all the plum blossoms red, we will return to Chang'an. ”

Li Chen: "......"

In fact, she really wants to complain about her father, it's okay to coax a three-year-old child like this, but it's completely useless for her? She raised her eyes, glanced at her father, and then at the plum blossom in her father's hand. The little face that was originally puffing out his cheeks finally showed a smile, but his tone was still very resentful, "Okay, I know." ”

Li Zhi looked at his little daughter's resentful appearance, and felt that his heart was happy. His little princess is now more and more beautiful, well-behaved and caring, usually worried and irritable, she smiled with a guqin or tea set to come, and asked her father to accompany her to play music or make tea, which is a rare time for him to relax.

Seeing his daughter growing up and seeing that the days she could stay in the palace were getting shorter and shorter, Li Zhi inevitably felt a sense of relief and sadness in his heart.

Li Chen looked at his father's expression of relief and frowning, and didn't understand what he was thinking. Directly took the plum blossom picture in his hand and rolled it up, and held it very solemnly in his hand.

"What if the flowers on the plum tree are painted red, and Aya hasn't returned to Chang'an City?" Li Chen asked while wondering in her heart whether her father had gotten any good things recently, if her father broke his promise and became fat, she would sweep away all her father's favorites and put them in her treasury.

Li Zhidi Li Chen's temperament has already been understood, and as soon as he heard her words, he knew what she was thinking about, the emperor couldn't help laughing, stretched out his finger and flicked Li Chen's forehead, "You want to take my father's collection again?" ”

Li Chen covered his forehead, "It hurts!" ”

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Yongchang, my father is playing music, will you come to dance?" ”

Li Chen turned his head arrogantly, and inadvertently saw a fold spread out by his father on the desk with a list of officials who went to Luoyang together. When she saw Wu Chenghe's name, her delicate eyebrows furrowed together and she looked at her father.

Li Chen asked: "Why can Wu Chengsi go to Luoyang?" ”

Li Zhi looked at his daughter's obviously unhappy expression, and was a little surprised in his heart, but he remained silent and patiently explained: "His official position was originally to deal with the affairs of the royal family, and now that your mother and I are going to the Eastern Capital, it is very normal for him to accompany him." ”

"What is he, I can't go, why can he go?!" Li Chen had an idea, and immediately took advantage of the topic to play. Her mother is fighting her idea of her future marriage, and she has to fight for a little security for her future. In any case, if she had to have a colt, she would rather die than be a member of the martial family, and of course, not a minister or a relative of the royal family arranged by her father.

When Li Zhi heard this, his brows frowned slightly, and he looked at Li Chen with some disapproval.

Li Chen pulled his father's sleeve and shook it, coquettish: "Aya, I don't like these people from the martial arts family. A few days ago, A-Niang asked me why I often go to Buxian Garden, why don't I go to Zhou Guogong's Mansion often. I don't want to go, the people of the martial family, except for Ah Niang and my grandmother, I don't like it at all! ”

Mei Niang actually had the intention of letting Yongchang go to the Zhou Guogong Mansion to walk around?

Li Zhi's mind moved slightly, and then he bent over, his smiling eyes were at eye level with Li Chen, "If you don't like it, you don't like it, it's nothing great." Well, why don't you play music with your father, and you can dance with me? ”

Li Chen bargained, "Then you don't let Wu Chengsi go to Luoyang." ”

Li Zhi couldn't cry or laugh, "Do you hate him so much?" He's the heir to your grandfather's title. ”

"What's so good about him? It's just that he is a little related to A-Niang. When his father wanted to poison A-Niang, but accidentally poisoned Sister Helan, did Aya and A-Niang forget? Li Chen's expression was a little annoyed.

Li Zhi was unmoved, and sighed slightly, "That's a matter that has been decided a long time ago, if everything is changed overnight, how to act?" ”

When Li Chen heard this, he snorted lightly, holding the plum blossom picture in one hand and the skirt in the other, and walked out very arrogantly.

Li Zhi was stunned: "Yongchang, where are you going?" ”

"Father and mother don't like me anymore, I want to go back to Fengyang Pavilion!" Li Chen didn't look back.

"Why did you go back to Fengyang Pavilion? Didn't you just say that you wanted to go for a walk with your father? The emperor strode after him, and walked on the corridor with Li Chen, and from time to time the emperor's soft voice came, as if he was coaxing the Duke of Yongchang to do something? And Princess Yongchang raised her chin lightly, quite a bit of pampering and coquettishness.

When the palace maids on the road saw the saint and the princess Yongchang, they all stepped aside and saluted. While lowering his head, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly, and he was envious and jealous in his heart.

It was the middle of winter, Wu Zetian and Li Zhi arrived in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and this year for the first time this year, they did not take Li Chen with them. Li Chen, who stayed in Chang'an, was not idle, her father and mother were not in the palace, so she and Taiping were too lazy to stay in the palace, and found the prince's brother and said that they wanted to go to Lishan. I originally wanted to take the crown princess Pei with me, but Her Royal Highness the queen in the palace had already gone to Luoyang, and it would be bad if the crown princess was not there. So Li Chen and Taiping had no choice but to go to Lishan with Princess Yong to soak in hot springs.

In fact, every winter, as long as the emperor is in Chang'an, he will be lucky enough to drive the Lishan Palace to soak in the hot springs, the time is long and short, and when the king of God wants to relax for a while, the emperor will even simply change the office location to Lishan, leaving only the prince Li Hong in Chang'an City.

However, Li Zhi is a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people, and he is also very thrifty, and he feels that dragging his family and bringing his cronies to the palace in Lishan is too exciting, and he rarely really stays in Lishan for a long time, and the emperor usually takes his family to Lishan to stay in Lishan for ten days and half a month.

But the people of Chang'an all know that their saints don't stay in Lishan for long in winter, but the two princesses are different. When it was winter, Princess Yongchang was very cold, and the whole person was wrapped like a bear, so she couldn't stand it and simply dragged Princess Taiping and ran to the palace in Lishan to soak in the hot springs. Li Zhi was reluctant to spend a lot of money to repair a soup pool, but he specially built a pearl pool for the two princesses, and the hot spring water of Lishan was introduced into the pool, and there was another outlet for drainage, so the hot spring water in the pearl pool was living water.

Li Chen has always been a person who will treat herself well, since her father and mother are not in Chang'an, and this year's winter is very cold, she plans to stay in Lishan until her parents return from the eastern capital, and then return to the palace.

"I heard yesterday that Sister Pei's family sent someone to test the meaning of my uncle and grandmother, hoping to say goodbye to Sister Pei and my brother."

Li Chen, who was soaking in the hot spring water, originally closed his eyes slightly, but when he heard Li Yanxi's words, his eyes opened.

Li Chen was a little surprised and asked, "Then how did your uncle and grandmother reply?" ”

After Li Jingye went on the expedition, Li Yanxi lived in the palace, but for a few days every month, she would go back to the British Mansion to ask her grandmother for peace, and then live in the British Mansion for three or two days. Li Chen went to Lishan Palace, and Li Yanxi first went back to the British Mansion to ask his grandmother for peace, and then came to Lishan.

Li Yanxi: "Uncle said that although the marriage is a major event, it should be decided by the elders. But the elder brother has inherited his grandfather's title and is on a foreign expedition, so it is not too late to discuss this kind of life event after the elder brother returns......"
