52.052: Two Little No Guesses (5)
Li Chen's seemingly unintentional words reminded Li Zhi.
Li Jingye is a bright young man, he has been personally taught by Li Ji since he was a child, even Wu Zetian admits that Li Jingye is the best among the young honors in Chang'an.
After Li Chen finished practicing, he clamored that he was going to ride a horse and asked his father if he was going.
Li Zhi looked at her, smiled slightly, and said, "Father may not have ridden a horse for a long time, so I'll accompany you today." As he spoke, he summoned the eunuch Wang Fulai and asked him to arrange for Li Jingye to accompany him to ride a horse.
When Li Zhicai tentatively asked Li Jingye if he was willing to follow Liu Renliang to crusade against Silla, the seventeen-year-old Li Jingye still had a bit of youthful vigor and bowed his hand to the emperor and said: "Sage, the minister is willing to go." Silla soldiers, but a group of clowns who jumped off the beam, although the ministers were young and ignorant, they could still use the knives and guns left by their grandfather and cut off the heads of these rats! ”
When Li Zhi heard this, he laughed loudly and said a few words in a row.
Li Chen, who was not far away, heard the laughter, looked back at his father and Li Jingye, and a smile appeared on his face.
As long as the country does not change, there will still be a newborn calf who is not afraid of the tiger and a frivolous young man who will come forward and become the pillars of the next generation of the country.
The next day, Li Zhi transferred Li Jingye from the palace guards, appointed him as the captain of Zhaowu, and ordered him to go with Liu Renliang, the chief of the marching army, to defeat Silla.
At the same time, in the Fengyang Pavilion, a soft female voice choked a little, "But I don't want my brother to go to war, princess, the saint and His Royal Highness the queen love you so much, can you help me beg the saint and ask him not to send his brother to fight." ”
Li Chen looked at Li Yanxi, who was crying a handful of snot and tears, and glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, who immediately went over and handed over the handkerchief.
Li Yanxi choked up and took the handkerchief, wiping tears and shedding tears.
Li Chen rubbed his forehead, "Xixi, don't cry." ”
Li Yanxi raised her eyes, her eyes and nose were red, and she asked again: "I don't cry, can you help me go and beg the saint not to let my brother fight?" ”
Li Chen: "...... No. "Li Jingye followed Liu Renliang to crusade against Silla, she didn't add fuel to the fire, how could she shoot herself in the foot now.
When Li Yanxi heard this, tears came down again, "Then what should I do?" The British Mansion is so big, my brother is gone, and I am the only one left. If something happens to my brother in the war, I and I will have no relatives. ”
Li Chen looked at Li Yanxi, who was crying pitifully, but he actually felt guilty in his heart. Li Jingye brother and sister have no father since they were children, and soon after Li Ji died, their mother also died of illness, although the grandmother is still alive, and there is an uncle to take care of them, but everyone is in the house, and there are a lot of twists and turns in it, and the brothers and sisters have been dependent on each other over the years. Li Chen also thought that Li Yanxi would definitely cry after knowing that her brother was going to war, so she would send someone to the British Mansion early in the morning to pick her up into the palace.
Probably because of the loss of his parents at a young age, Li Jingye has suffered a lot over the years, and he has tasted the hardships, so he doesn't want his sister to suffer too, so he protects his sister very thoroughly, Li Yanxi is now seven years old, and he should start to be sensible, but he still doesn't know the world.
Li Chen sighed secretly in his heart: Li Jingye was a young man who was civil and martial, but he raised his sister into a ceramic doll.
"Back then, your grandfather was brave and good at fighting, and your brother naturally wouldn't be bad. You also said that you have only one of his relatives left, if something happens to him, what can you do? He loves you so much, everything follows you, how can he be willing to leave you alone? Li Chen really couldn't stand it, so he took the handkerchief in Li Yanxi's hand, and then covered her face with the handkerchief, wiped her face as if she was washing her face, and continued patiently: "Besides, the man is ambitious in all directions, your brother has a furrow in his chest, and he is willing to defend the family and the country, why do you have to tie him up in Chang'an?" ”
Li Yanxi is young, and she has been well protected by her brother over the years, and she usually appears in the circle of noble women, everyone knows that Princess Yongchang has a good eye for her, and no one has two hundred and five to provoke her, so her temperament is really innocent.
The innocent Li Yanxi was a little stunned when she heard Li Chen's words, and looked at Li Chen with her eyes open.
Li Chen said angrily: "What are you looking at? Even if your brother goes to war, no one will dare to bully you. ”
Li Yanxi: "I'm not worried that someone will bully me, I'm afraid that my brother will have an accident if he fights." ”
When Li Chen heard this, his patience ran out, he glanced at Li Yanxi, and reprimanded: "Don't allow the crow's mouth, your brother will be fine." ”
Li Yanxi's mouth flattened and lowered her head.
Later, the two didn't know whether Li Chen comforted her or Li Chen intimidated her.
Shangguan Wan'er on the side saw this, and she was a little ridiculous in her heart.
Three days later, the chief of the march led the elite troops to attack Silla, and the saint led a hundred civil and military officials to see him off. And Li Chen asked her mother on this day to take Li Yanxi into the palace, and before Li Jingye returned to Chang'an, Li Yanxi would probably stay by her side.
Shangguan Wan'er had a sense of crisis in her heart that she would be replaced since she was not envious of the garden. Now Li Chen took Li Yanxi into the palace and lived directly in Fengyang Pavilion, and also instructed many palace maids to treat Li Yanxi and be polite for a few weeks.
Shangguan Wan'er was inevitably a little uneasy in her heart, she was originally a rough palace maid in the court, because Taiping was greedy for a moment and ran to the court to find her and take her to the sick Li Chen. Later, Li Chen was indeed very partial to her, but people's hearts are fickle, she has long seen through the unreliability of people's hearts in the court, and the only reliable thing is the power in her hands.
Li Chen is the favorite daughter of today's saint and Her Royal Highness the Empress, so Li Chen's blue eyes for her have changed her from a rough palace maid to a Shangguan Wan'er that everyone knows. But once she loses Li Chen's preference, will she be beaten back to her original form?
Shangguan Wan'er was worried in her heart, and on the other hand, she served Li Chen as if she had nothing to do, and she had a lot of worries in her heart, which made her upset.
In the midst of everyone's hearts, the wedding of King Li Xian was ushered in. Li Xian married Zhao, the daughter of Princess Changle, as the princess of England, and although the scale of the wedding could not be compared with the prince's wedding, it was also celebrated by the whole country.
Li Chen and Taiping had a sister-in-law, and they didn't feel very happy, because they didn't like Zhao. Li Chen thought that with the arrogant and domineering temperament of the Zhao family, he would probably toss and fly with the third brother in the British Palace, but unexpectedly, although the Zhao family and Princess Changle did not look down on Wu Zetian very much, they flattered Li Xian in every way. After hearing that King Li Xian married the British Princess, the British Prince's Mansion changed the dark miasma of the past and became organized. Although the King of England still likes cockfighting, lackeys, drinking and having fun, at least when the Princess of England comes out to speak softly, the King of England will hold the Princess's shoulders and laugh and admit his mistake, saying that he will never do it again next time.
Although the next time in the king's mouth will never be again, it will continue next time, but it will also give the princess a face, which shows that the princess's pillow wind is blowing well.
But what does it matter if the pillow blows well, Li Chen feels that as a bride with a mother-in-law, it is the most effective to please her mother-in-law. It's a pity that Zhao doesn't understand this truth, yesterday was the fifteenth, the crown princess Pei and the Yong princess Fang both came to Qingning Palace to ask Wu Zetian for peace, but the British princess Zhao said that she was suffering from the wind and cold, and she was afraid that she would pass on the illness to Her Royal Highness the queen, so she asked Wu Zetian for leave.
Wu Zetian smiled at the moment and said, "Since she is unwell, let's wait until she is better." He chatted with the crown princess and Princess Yong, who were serving on the left and right.
Li Chen and Taiping were together and whispered, and they both felt that Zhao's guts were fat enough to drink.
Li Chen smiled and said that when the Zhao family wanted to let the princess's honor guard avoid it when she went to Buxian Garden last time, Taiping couldn't help but sneer, "What kind of thing is she, she dares to want your honor guard to avoid it?" Why didn't you tell me before! ”
Li Chen blinked, "I forgot, but I told my mother." ”
I really forgot to tell Taiping, after arriving at Buxian Garden, I met Song Jing in Meizhuang, and after returning to the palace, the prince's brother was sick again, and the border was unstable, Li Jingye invited himself to follow Liu Renliang to crusade against Silla, which thing is much more important in Li Chen's heart than a Zhao family who does not know the height of the sky.
Taiping pursed her lips, she was eleven years old at this time, and she had begun to look like a girl, especially her facial features were a little more like her mother's, she pursed her lips without saying a word, and her body was surrounded by an inviolable aura.
Since the mother already knew about this, and there was also the Zhao family's hardships in the back, Taiping thought about it, and glanced at Li Chen with some clues, "You can forget such a thing, what can you remember?" ”
Li Chen tilted his head with a smile, "I can remember what Sister A's mind is thinking." ”
Taiping glared at her, "What can I have on my mind!" ”
Li Chen smiled but said nothing.
Taiping was so angry and funny by her, in the end, he could only magnify his move, reached over and scratched Li Chen's itchy flesh, and before his hand could reach over, Li Chen's whole person jumped up.
"Sister, don't, don't, I said it can't be done yet!"
Taiping glanced at her with a smile, and Li Chen sat down and hooked his finger at her with a smile.
Taiping had no choice but to lean his ears over, and he didn't know what Princess Yongchang said to his sister, Taiping's face turned red after hearing it, and he felt that he couldn't listen to it anymore, so he directly threatened: "If you talk nonsense again, I will tell my mother and let her grounded you in the palace, and see that you still run to the garden of envy at every turn, pretending to be a little Langjun to go out for a walk!" ”
