95 095: The princess is hard to marry (8)
Chinese Shu Zhi looked at Li Chen in front of her, was silent, and finally couldn't hold back, and asked Li Chen: "Princess, what if Brother finds out that Song Jing has a marriage contract?" β
Listening to the princess's words, if Song Jingke succeeded, he would be recruited as a concubine. If Song Jing doesn't have a marriage contract, everyone will naturally be happy, but what if Song Jing has a marriage contract?
Li Chen turned his head when he heard the sound, his hands slowly brushed the broken hair on his cheeks, and smiled a little carelessly, but his eyes were indeed very serious, "If there is a marriage contract, then I will let his fiancΓ©e marry someone else." β
Shu Zhi: "......"
Li Chen leaned on the couch, his expression was a little lazy, and his words were smiling: "What is it if you have a marriage contract?" If I had to do it, even if he had to marry him, there would be nothing he could do. So he should be glad that he is not married yet. β
No one can arrange other people's lives at will, Li Chen has long stopped saying it. Sometimes, she also has the idea of not doing to others what she does not want, but unfortunately most of the times she encounters are not ordinary, so whether it is her own or what she does not want, when necessary, she does not care whether others want to do it or not, and directly withholds what she wants to give to others, and the refutation and protest are invalid.
Shu Zhi: "If Song Jing is the princess, it will be his great honor." β
Li Chen raised his eyes, looked at Shu Zhi, and said, "You have been by my side for so long, and I don't know you, what do you think directly." β
"Princess Song Jing Nengshang is indeed his honor. But Shu Zhi listened to this Song Jing's matter, he is upright and would rather bend, if he has a marriage contract, and the princess asks his fiancΓ©e to marry someone else, will he be dissatisfied with the princess? Shu Zhi said, looking at Li Chen's gaze very sincere and calm, "The princess is the daughter of the heavenly family, what kind of person is not too much, I am afraid that if Song Jing can't turn around, how can she be in harmony with the princess Qin Se in the future?" β
Li Chen smiled, sighed and said, "Shu Zhi, not everyone can be like the eldest princess, and they just like her. β
She always has to go out, and now that she has a father to honor and guard, she must choose one that is insurance in all aspects.
The father's body is declining, and the fate of the father and daughter is now like a candle that is about to burn out, maybe soon, the candle will come to an end, can she still immerse herself in the dream that she is the most favored princess of the Tang Dynasty?
If his father is seriously ill and his mother holds a lot of power, with her mother's temperament, she may be regarded as a pawn to win over power without mercy.
Thinking about it like this, Li Chen felt that his whole body was trapped in a big ice cellar, which was heart-piercing.
If she doesn't plan for herself, who plans for her?
Shu Zhi looked at the thoughtful girl in front of her, feeling a little compassionate. Even the proud daughter of the sky has her troubles, and now Her Royal Highness the queen seems to have the ambition to control the government, and the battle with the crown prince is intensifying. Now that Ming Chongyan is dead, on the surface, Her Royal Highness the Queen has died down, but in fact, it makes people feel that it is the calm before the storm, which quietly makes people's hearts tremble.
Ming Chongyan died, who benefited the most?
After the news of Ming Chongyan's accident spread, Li Chen did not go to the East Palace, but went directly to visit his parents, and then asked his father for instructions to go out of the palace to find Princess Taiping, instead of staying in the palace to wade in this troubled water.
Shu Zhi sighed low and said, "None of us know what kind of person Song Jing is, even if Brother finds out something, but it is what others say, and we have never gotten along with him deeply." He may be a humble gentleman and talented, but these so-called gentlemen are very arrogant in their bones, and no one cares about them, Shu Zhi hopes that the princess will be happy in the future. β
When Li Chen heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "Now that the eight characters haven't been skimmed, what's the hurry?" Tell Shu Ye to find out first, and as for the rest, everything will be discussed after the imperial examination. β
In fact, she has never had any dreams of a couple for a lifetime, as a princess, she has gained a lot of things, and at the same time, she will inevitably pay something for this identity.
She chose a colt, not for love.
What she wants to choose should be an ally that can be cultivated.
If she just needs a man to coax her and hurt her, there is no need to worry about it at all, after Chang'an Xungui, there are more suitable candidates.
But she doesn't look down on any of those people.
Those talents who have ancestral shade and are rising in the court are not what she wants. What she wants is someone who can break through with her bare hands and bare fists.
And this person must take the pure minister route.
Only in this way is it the safest.
And now Song Jing just happened to appear when she was looking for such a candidate.
On the fifteenth day of every month, Taiping would go back to the palace to ask Wu Zetian for peace. And this month is more special, Princess Yongchang lives in Princess Taiping's mansion, Her Royal Highness the Queen has been worried about many things in recent days and has no time to withdraw, and since Princess Taiping surrendered, Princess Yongchang may not have had a good reunion with Sister A for a long time, the saint and Her Royal Highness the Queen specially let people come to pass the word, so that Princess Taiping does not have to go back to the palace tomorrow to ask for peace, and when Princess Yongchang returns to the palace, she can return to the palace together.
Li Chen heard his parents' words, bent his eyes, and said to Taiping: "Sister, I want to go to Ganye Temple." "Since you don't have to go back to the palace tomorrow, then you will wander around, my mother was a nun in the Ganye Temple for several years, but Li Chen has never been to the Ganye Temple.
Taiping: "...... Why do you want to go to Ganye Temple for no reason? β
Li Chen: "My mother said that I had a serious illness when I was a child, and no one can cure it, but later my father and mother invited the Taoist of Sanqing Hall and the master of Ganye Temple to pray for me, and my illness was cured." Later, my mother said that in order to repay my vows, there is a Bodhisattva in the back mountain of Ganye Temple that was donated in my name, and I want to go and see it. β
Taiping's eyes widened, "When you were seriously ill, you were not yet four years old, do you remember how young you were?" β
Li Chen smiled, "Remember, sister, do you want to go together?" I'm going to burn the first incense stick tomorrow. β
Taiping thought for a while and asked Li Chen, "How do you want to go?" β
Li Chen: "Horseback riding." β
Taiping couldn't help but raise his voice, "You want to wear men's clothes again?" β
Li Chen blinked innocently and said, "It's more convenient this way." β
Taiping: "......"
Since Taiping came out, he is much more comfortable than in the palace, where can't he go? In the early years, she worked as a female Taoist priest for several years in order to cultivate yin virtue for her grandmother Yang. Although she is a female Taoist priest in name, she has not been absent from the occasion of her appearance, and she feels that it is really not interesting to worship God and incense, so she did not go with Li Chen.
Li Chen didn't have anything to do when he went to Ganye Temple, but he heard that whoever donated money to build a Bodhisattva would look like someone this year, so he was curious and wanted to go and see it. I went to take a look, and the Buddha statue looked like neither Li Chen nor Li Zhi, but it looked very much like Wu Zetian.
Li Chen was speechless and choked, the master of Ganye Temple was really a good fart.
Although Buddhism is pure, Li Chen thought that his mother and father had rekindled their old love in this place, and he would not be very pure. So after the incense, Buddha Yin didn't listen to a few words, and left directly with Shu Ye and Shu Zhi.
Before anyone arrived at Princess Taiping's mansion, I heard that the eldest princess of Linchuan sent a post, saying that today is the eightieth birthday of Mrs. Zhou, and the eldest princess and the concubine went back to Zhou's mansion to congratulate the old man, and also invited the famous opera troupe in Chang'an City to sing, and asked Li Chen if he wanted to play.
When Li Chen heard it, she hadn't tried to watch people sing outside the palace, and she thought it should be interesting, so she didn't change her clothes, so she went directly to Zhou's mansion.
The stage of Zhou's Mansion is set up in the courtyard of the south building of Zhou's Mansion, and Zhou's Mansion has a good relationship with its neighbors, and residents near Zhou's Mansion all drag their families to watch the play.
Li Chen, who was dressed in purple shirt and men's clothes, was introduced into the wing room in the courtyard by his cousin Zhou Jitong, Princess Linchuan was sitting in the wing room and talking to several middle-aged women, and when she saw Li Chen, she was stunned, and then beckoned her to come over.
After Li Chen went over to say hello to Princess Linchuan, Princess Linchuan took her hand, disgusted and a little spoiled, "You see that you were naughty again as soon as you left the palace, why did you come here dressed like this?" β
Li Chen smiled and said, "I was supposed to change my clothes, but I just came back from Ganye Temple, and I was worried about delaying time, so I came over directly." My aunt is not an outsider, so she is not allowed to make fun of Yongchang. β
Princess Linchuan was angry and funny when she heard it, and said, "Taiping is also messing around with you." β
Li Chen smiled and sat down next to Princess Linchuan, "Auntie, don't blame Sister, it's because I think it's so convenient, so I have to do this." β
Princess Linchuan's concubine Zhou Daowu, from the time of Taizong is the military general of the imperial court, when the concubine goes out, the princess of Linchuan sings with the woman, and the concubine runs east and west together, and has always advocated simplicity in terms of travel, and now I see Li Chen wearing a men's regular clothes, I didn't say anything, but also looked at her a few times, and said: "The heroic posture is cool, but it is very good-looking." β
Li Chen laughed and said to Princess Linchuan: "I asked people to bring some osmanthus cakes, which look very different from the world, so I will use them to honor the old lady." Speaking of which, today is the old lady's birthday, and Yongchang has not yet paid homage to the old man. β
Princess Linchuan said with a smile: "Yongchang has a heart, the old lady is talking to her grandchildren right now, let your cousin Zhou take you there, and just chat with those cousins and cousins for a while." β
Li Chen was stunned for a moment, and looked at Princess Linchuan suspiciously.
Princess Linchuan met Li Chen's gaze, couldn't help laughing, and said, "What a smart one, go and look at those cousins, there are some who can be seen." β
Li Chen: "......"
