73.073: Dark Tide (6)

Li Chen's question made Li Xian stunned, and his eyes looked at his sister with a bit of scrutiny.

Li Chen met Li Xian's gaze and was very calm.

"Second brother, many people's eyes are on you." Li Chen reminded softly.

Li Xian was silent.

In fact, they all know in their hearts what the crown prince's private life is, in fact, the problem is not big or small. Even when his father insisted on making his mother the queen, it was just a matter for the minister to say that this was a saint's business, so why bother to ask others, so he blocked the opposition of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.

But today's Li Xian is not a saint. He was just a newly established prince, and he didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at him in the East Palace, wanting to do something about him.

What's more, he also has a mother who chases power in his bones.

He pampered a man, and if he was stabbed in front of his mother, he didn't know what to do.

Li Xian sat on the chair a little depressed, and said with a wry smile: "No matter who stares at me, it is no more important than one person staring at me." His mother's dissatisfaction with him made it difficult for him to move forward.

Li Chen understood the meaning of his words and did not comfort him.

Any consolation is futile.

In the emperor's family, it is inevitable to embark on a struggle for power and profit. Sometimes, even if you don't fight or grab, you don't necessarily won't be caught up in the whirlpool of political struggles.

If Li Xian is as uninterested in learning as Li Xian, fighting cocks and lackeys, Li Chen thinks that his mother will not put much thought into it. But whether it is the former crown prince Li Hong or the current crown prince Li Xian, they are all very praised princes in the court.

This is a big threat to the mother.

Li Chen thought about it, in fact, in history, his mother wanted to poison the prince's brother Li Honghe and force Li Xian to death, and there was reason to believe it.

The father's and mother's sons, the best are Li Hong and Li Xian, who killed the best, and the remaining one Li Xian is considered a wreck in the political struggle, and Li Dan knows how to protect himself with softness and rigidity all day long.

Those who can become a climate are dead, and those who can't become a climate are not ten or eight alive.

Anyway, Zhao Daosheng beside Li Xian was made to be a rough envoy by Li Chen, who was looking for fault, and later Li Chen heard Shu Ye report that Zhao Daosheng was restless, and he also found an opportunity to go to Li Xian to hang around.

Li Chen was silent, and then instructed Shu Ye: "Get him outside, there are many places outside that are suitable for him." ”

Shu Ye took the order, turned around and sent Zhao Daosheng away, the world is so big, since he likes to serve people, there are many Fengyue places for Zhao Daosheng to go.

Li Chen felt that since the second brother became the prince, there has not been a day of peace in the true sense.

Finally, the problems in Li Xian's private life were solved, and there was another 100,000 urgent military report from his father, and Tubo came to attack.

Tubo is like a cockroach that can't be killed, and in three days, he thinks about the abundant products of the Tang Dynasty, and he has been defeated and fought repeatedly.

Li Zhi was very angry, and the general threw it away, "How can this be reasonable!" "In March, Tubo came to Hezhou and Fangzhou, and now they are coming again.

Li Zhi doesn't want to fight, who wants to fight? Before the soldiers and horses moved the grain and grass, every time a battle was fought, the treasury had to be emptied a lot, and the people's conscription would also increase.

But everyone came to the door of the house to spread the wilderness, and this fight could not be missed, so the general sent troops.

Li Chen saw that his parents were very busy, his father was busy with state affairs and eased the obviously tense relationship between his mother and his second brother, after his mother got such a capable person as Shangguan Wan'er, many things in the harem have been let go of Shangguan Wan'er to do, and now his mother is also busy with political affairs and is busy fighting with the crown prince Li Xianming.

In Li Chen's opinion, going to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer is a very beautiful and pleasant thing.

After all, it was the first time she had followed her parents to the Jiucheng Palace.

But now, seeing that there are so many troublesome things to avoid the summer, it really makes her speechless.

Taiping has now grown into a girl, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, who is watery and smart, and when she turns around and looks back, she has the unique charm of a girl.

When Li Chen saw his sister Taiping, he had to sigh, it is really a girl in my family who has just grown up, and she is so beautiful that she doesn't want it

That night, Taiping asked his sister to go to see the stars and the moon together, and talked about poetry and songs, and gave life ideals.

"I asked my mother, we will go back to Chang'an Daming Palace next month." Taiping sat on the windowsill, holding his chin with both hands and looking at the bright moon in the sky, and said to Li Chen with a smile.

Li Chen blinked, looking a little reluctant: "Huh? Will you be back next month? ”

"Do you like it here? Although it is a good place to escape the summer, it is not as good as Chang'an. And you haven't been to the Garden of Envy for so long, don't you want to know what new tricks Lu Sicheng has come up with in the art of making tea? ”

"It doesn't matter if there are new tricks in making tea, just drink it comfortably. You see, I usually make tea for my father, how can there be so many doors, and my father is also very happy? Li Chen said with a smile, thought about it, and then approached Taiping's side, and asked with a bit of mystery: "Sister thinks so much about Chang'an, could it be that Chang'an has someone you want to meet?" ”

Taiping tilted his head and looked at Li Chen.

Originally, she was very calm, but Li Chen always smiled very subtly, smiled and raised her eyebrows, with a look that I know what you want.

Taiping was silent, not as knowledgeable as Ah Mei, snorted, and then looked up...... Look at the moon.

Li Chen smiled and stretched out his hand to push his sister's shoulder, and asked, "Sister, isn't it?" ”

Seeing this, Li Chen grinned and approached Taiping, and then whispered two words in her ear, Taiping was stunned at first, and then turned around, his bright and good-looking eyes were full of life, and he scolded with a straight face: "If you talk nonsense again, I'm going to be angry?" ”

Li Chen had no fear, he had already seen through that Sister A was a paper tiger in front of her, not only did she not shut up, but she also said with a smile: "Sister Don't be angry, even if you don't want Cousin Xue Shao, I will think about it." Since Cousin Xue Shao left the palace, he has always been able to find many interesting gadgets for us. The little furball he gave me last time was so funny, and the little parrot liked it so much that he pecked the furball to pieces! ”

The gray parrot's claws are very good at hooking things, and its mouth is hard, which not only hurts when it bites, but also destroys things tirelessly, and scratches and pecks everything it can touch.

Taiping: "...... When will you be able to take care of your ugly gray bird?! ”

Li Chen retorted: "What ugly bird? Obviously a divine bird, the little parrot is angry. ”

Taiping looked at his sister, smiled without smiling, and then said: "Did the divine bird sue you, Li Jingye refused to have a relationship with the Pei family again?" ”

Li Chen was stunned for a moment, she happily left Li Jingye behind when she arrived at Jiucheng Palace, and now that she thinks about it, of course she doesn't feel guilty. She was just a little surprised, she and Li Yanxi had such a good relationship, she didn't know anything about Li Jingye, but Taiping already knew about it.

Taiping successfully diverted Li Chen's attention and was very satisfied, so he continued in a good mood: "He is smart, saying that now that Tibet is coming, the border is restless, the so-called country first and then home, the man should first think about the country and the country, and help the saint to calm the Quartet, before he has the heart to consider lifelong events." The words are high-sounding and irrefutable, and they can also gain a good reputation for themselves. ”

Speaking of which, Li Chen was very embarrassed. Because after arriving at Jiucheng Palace, many of her thoughts were placed on her second brother Li Xian and her mother, and she almost didn't think much about Li Jingye.

Li Chen didn't have much interest in Li Jingye's family affairs, she was more interested in Sister A's far away in Jiucheng Palace, how did she know so much about things in Chang'an, it was all Chang'antong.

So, Li Chen asked Chang'an Tongtaiping: "Sister, how did you know about this?" ”

Chang'an Tong was silent and replied, "Hmm...... It was Xue Shao's cousin who sued me. ”

Li Jingye, Xue Shao and others are childhood playmates, they usually get together whenever they are free, the brothers are long and the brothers are short, and there is nothing between the brothers that they don't understand each other.

When Li Chen heard this, he couldn't help laughing. Taiping tried to take the topic away, but in the end, he actually lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot.

Taiping was so annoyed by the laughter that he simply leaned over and used a killer trick to scratch Li Chen's itchy flesh.

The two sisters were frolicking, and Li Chen, who was already scratched by the Taiping and was about to ask for mercy, suddenly saw a comet with a tail dragging in the sky from the corner of his eye, "Sister, look, meteor!" ”

Taiping turned around and happened to see the tail of a comet, "What meteor?" It was a comet, commonly known as a broom star. Comets appear in the sky, and that's a bad thing. ”

Li Chen: "......"

She was momentarily excited, forgetting that the meteor commonly known as the broom star in this year is a symbol of foreboding.

The comet appeared, and then her father probably evacuated the main hall, cut down on food and entertainment, and recruited hundreds of officials to discuss political affairs.

In fact, Li Chen has been stunned for these things from the beginning to the current habit.

Taiping looked up at the purple-black sky, a little worried: "When the comet appears, I don't know what bad things will happen." ”

Li Chen was silent, thinking that if a real comet appeared, something bad would happen, and then what would happen if the future generations predicted that there would be a meteor shower at every turn? Li Chen's complaints about these things are limited to her heart, and she is very calm on the surface.

The appearance of a comet in July, and the flooding of Qingzhou in August, affected the lives of local people.

Li Zhi arranged for someone to go to understand the situation and report it, and then in September, the group returned to Chang'an Daming Palace.

It's only been two days since I went back, and nothing good happened, I don't know where the rumors came from, saying that the current prince is not the son of Her Royal Highness the Queen, but the child of Mrs. Han when Li Zhi hooked up with Mrs. Han back then.
