Princess Chengyang sat in the carriage and asked Xue Qiang, who lifted the curtain and looked out, and asked, "Is Brother still there?" ”

Xue Qian lowered the curtain, "In." ”

This day was the day when Xue Qian set off to Fangzhou, it was a sunny day, Li Zhi did not alarm the civil and military officials, and only brought his two daughters to see him off under the escort of the cavalry.

Tired of winning, no matter what the truth is, under the protection of Li Zhi, only relegated Xue Qian to Fangzhou as the end. Princess Chengyang said that since they were husband and wife, they should share honor and disgrace, and asked Li Zhi to go to Fangzhou with the horse. Although Li Zhi was reluctant in his heart, his sister had already made up her mind, so she had to follow her.

Li Zhi sent his sister out of the city all the way, and after a few words of advice, he let them leave. The carriage drove away along the official road, but Li Zhi did not leave, he took his two daughters to the lookout platform and watched the carriage that had gone away.

After this farewell, I don't know when we will meet again.

Princess Chengyang felt guilty for her brother in her heart, for fear that she would touch the scene as soon as she turned around, so she had to harden her heart and not look back.

"I'm sorry brother."

"It has nothing to do with you, it's all because of me."

Princess Chengyang raised her eyes, looked at Xue Qiang, whose face was full of guilt, and pulled the corners of her mouth, "The most important thing is that we are still together." ”

Xue Shao, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at his parents and did not speak.

Xue Shao remembered the two cousins who came to see him off just now, Cousin Yongchang was still young, standing next to the saint's uncle, blinking his big eyes, and smiling sweetly at him and his mother, as if he didn't know what parting was. It's too peaceful...... As soon as Xue Shao remembered the scene just now when Taiping asked his third cousin with red eyes when he would return to Chang'an, his young heart felt sad.

This is the first time he has left Chang'an, and I heard that many people who left Chang'an in the past have not returned to Chang'an for a long time. He didn't know what his father and mother had done to make his uncle angry, and listening to his mother's words, his father probably couldn't go back to Chang'an.

Xue Shao lifted the curtain of the car next to him, looked at the scenery speeding outside, and wondered when he would be able to return to Chang'an.

When he can return to Chang'an, what will become of that fun-loving and laughing cousin Taiping?

Little Xue Shao didn't know any of this, but he felt reluctant in his heart. The little playmates in Chang'an City, the cousins and cousins in the Taiji Palace, he didn't know when he would be able to play with them again.

After Li Zhi promised Princess Chengyang to let her go to Fangzhou with Xue Qiang, he began to regret it in his heart. In the final analysis, he only has such a close sister left, how can he be willing to let her run to the place to suffer, but he also understood the feelings of Princess Chengyang who didn't even want her life for Xue Qiang. Thinking about it, Li Zhi reluctantly agreed to his sister's request, but he couldn't sleep well at night, and tossed and turned around Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian was made angry and funny by him, and said: "Xue Xuan's head is still on his neck, but he was relegated to a place. Chengyang got what he wanted, and he was willing to go to Fangzhou to share the glory and disgrace with the horses, and the lord also said that this was a good thing, why is it uncomfortable at this time? ”

Li Zhi was silent.

Wu Zetian saw that he was silent, thinking that it was okay, so he closed his eyes. But after a while, Li Zhi suddenly sat up and said, "I don't think it's appropriate." ”

Wu Zetian had no choice but to sit up, "What's wrong?" ”

"Chengyang's decision to go to Fangzhou was too hasty, and she was leaving before I even thought about bringing her something good. She's leaving tomorrow morning, and I—I—"

Li Zhi frowned, I was for a long time, and then said: "I should let Chengyang stay in Chang'an for two months, and let Xue Qian settle down in Fangzhou after she has settled properly." ”

Wu Zetian: "Chengyang is the daughter of the heavenly family, no one will wronged her anywhere, and Yi Si and the maids of the princess's mansion will also go together." ”

Li Zhi was silent for a while, and then said: "When she insisted on going to Fangzhou with Xue Qian that day, I lost my temper at her, and I don't know if she is sad now. ”

Moreover, from then on, his only sister-in-law was with him, and no one ran to the palace twice in three days, telling him that Brother I was bored in the princess's mansion, and came to accompany you and my sister-in-law for a few days. His sister, who seems to be gentle and generous, but is actually stubborn, will no longer lead a few little nephews into the palace to ask for rewards during the New Year's holidays.

You are the king of a country, sitting on the country, how rich?

But the relatives around him are getting fewer and fewer day by day.

Li Zhi felt that his heart was empty, but he didn't know what to do to make his empty heart feel better.

Wu Zetian looked at Li Zhi for a long time, reached over and shook Li Zhi's hand, and said softly: "Since this is the case, why don't you send Chengyang a ride?" ”

Li Zhi looked at her.

Wu Ze smiled □□ him, then got up and put on his clothes, then took out Li Zhi's private clothes, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, Taiping and I argued that she would take Yongchang to see off her third cousin early tomorrow morning. At that time, I thought that maybe the Lord would see Chengyang off on a whim. ”

Li Zhi was stunned.

Wu Zetian said with a smile: "Xue Qian resents Mei Niang, although Chengyang's move is to protect Xue Qiang, but she has never had the intention of harming her, she often enters the palace to accompany a few nephews and nieces to play on weekdays, the concubine is not a stingy person, how can she blame her for this?" The concubines have already prepared things for the Lord to see them off, and Taiping and Yongchang should be about to come, so the Lord wants to go with them to see them off? ”

Li Zhi looked at Wu Zetian in front of him, his heart was both moved and guilty, she was cursed by the horse with the art of disgust, but she told him that she was the wife of today's son, with the protection of the Son of Heaven, any strange force and chaos could not help her, the Lord spared Xue Qiang's life because of Chengyang, and she would not be unhappy because of this.

She said it generously and decently, and she would never make it difficult for him. But the more she was so reasonable, the more guilty he felt in his heart.

Li Zhi couldn't help but stretch out his hand and pulled Wu Zetian into his arms and hugged him.

"Mei Niang......" The voice of the emperor even carried a bit of coquettishness.

Wu Zetian obediently lay in his arms, and after a long while, he widened the distance between the two, showed a gentle smile at him, and personally served him to put on his private clothes.

"If the Lord is not ready to leave, I am afraid that it will be too late."

Wu Zetian's time was exactly right, and she served Li Zhi to change her clothes, and Taiping and Li Chen came to Qingning Palace. Taiping's appearance looked awake, but Li Chen was still asleep in Li Xin's arms, and his face was red from sleep.

Seeing this, Wu Zetian stepped forward and touched Li Chen's face, and said softly: "Yongchang hasn't woken up yet, otherwise don't go?" ”

Taiping tilted his head and pouted, "Ah Mei said she wanted to be with me yesterday, if you wake up and see her in the palace by herself, and think that I left her behind, wouldn't it be very sad in my heart!" ”

Li Zhi walked over and hugged Li Chen, Li Chen opened his eyes vaguely, saw that it was his father, tilted his head, and continued to lie on his shoulder Meng Zhou Gong.

Wu Zetian, "Does the Lord really want to take Yongchang with him?" ”

Li Zhi said: "Chengyang often talks about Yongchang on weekdays, and it is also appropriate for her to send her aunt on a ride. ”

Seeing this, Wu Zetian didn't say anything more, and after a few words, he sent them out of Qingning Palace.

Wu Zetian stood in front of the steps of Qingning Palace, looked at Li Zhi, who had already ridden away, smiled slightly, and then turned to leave.

In the eyes of the people of the world, she has been trusted and loved by the emperor, how majestic is the mother of the world?

But that's not enough.

She wanted more.

Sometimes being reasonable and retreating will make the guilty person feel more and more guilty, and once the person feels guilty, he will try to do many things to make up for it.

What she wants is Li Zhi's compensation later.

Li Chen was dragged up by Sister Taiping before dawn, she also knew that she was going to send her aunt, but as a child of a few years old, it was a natural thing to love sleepiness, even if her reason knew that she should be awake, she still couldn't open her eyes, and finally Li Chen simply stopped fighting with her body's instincts, and fell asleep directly on the table. Taiping was helpless, but he wanted Li Chen to accompany him, so he had to support Li Xin to carry Li Chen, who was sleeping as a piglet.

When he arrived at Qingning Palace, Li Chenmo vaguely knew that he was being held by his father.

She vaguely thought that her father was going to see off her aunt, but she didn't know if he would be sad...... Thinking about it, her face was slapped by a small hand, and she frowned and avoided the hand, but that hand followed her no matter how she turned her head.

If she continues to fight like this, her face will become a pig's head, okay!

Li Chen opened his eyes in annoyance, but he was startled when he saw Taiping's magnified face above her.

"Sister, you're finally awake!" Peace and happiness are in shape.

Li Chen: "......"

She sat up, rubbed her eyes, and muttered and complained: "Sister, you hit me so badly." ”

Taiping touched her face very perfunctorily, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, we're almost there, and my father is here." ”

Li Chen nodded, lifted the curtain of the car, and saw Li Zhi in private clothes in front of him. She blinked, and she didn't know if it was her delusion, she always felt that her father's back was very lonely.

Princess Chengyang didn't expect Li Zhi to see him off, and the brother and sister were relatively speechless in front of the carriage.

Xue Qian was very self-aware, knowing that the saint would be angry when he saw him, and he wanted to get rid of him, so after meeting the saint, he automatically retreated, saving the saint's eyes.

Li Chen raised his head, looked at Princess Chengyang, looked at his father, and then looked at the peace that was taking care of Cousin Xue.

She stepped forward, smiled innocently, and gently pulled Princess Chengyang's wide sleeves with her hand, "Auntie, I heard my mother say that you want to go to Fangzhou." When my mother was a child, she also followed her grandfather outside, saying that there were many new things outside, and my aunt met delicious and fun, but don't forget Yongchang. ”

Princess Chengyang came back to her senses, looked at Li Chen, squatted down and looked at Li Chen, "How could my aunt forget Xiao Yongchang?" ”

Li Chen wrapped his hands around Princess Chengyang's neck, as if she was coquettish: "Auntie not only can't forget Yongchang, but also can't forget her father." ”

Princess Chengyang was stunned, hugged Li Chen and patted her on the back, then stood up and looked at Li Zhi.

Her eyes were already glowing with water, but a touching smile appeared on her face, "Brother, no matter where Chengyang goes, I will always think about you in my heart." ”

Li Zhiben prepared a lot of advice to her, but when it was time to leave, he couldn't say anything.

Princess Chengyang glanced back at Xue Qian in the distance, and then said to Li Zhi: "Brother, you have arrived at Chengguan, and it is not too early, you should go back to the palace." ”

Li Zhi was a little angry and said: "I love to go back to the palace and go back to the palace, and if I love to walk outside, I will walk outside, who cares?" ”

After finishing speaking, he sighed lightly, asked the people around him to bring a pot of wine and two white jade cups, he personally poured wine into the white jade cups, and handed one of them to Princess Chengyang.

Princess Chengyang's long white fingers clasped the white jade cup, raised her glass to fight with Li Zhi, and drank it all.

Don't worry about the road ahead, and remember a glass of wine today.

This separation, I hope that you and my brother and sister can still get together to talk interesting things one day.
