Li Chen stood in the corridor of a house, watching the heavy rain fall on the courtyard paved with bluestone slabs, and there was an ancient tree hugged by several people in front of the gate of the courtyard, the crown of the tree was like an umbrella, and the raindrops the size of beans fell on the leaves, making a rustling sound.

Because of Song Jing's crow's mouth, she had to stay in Meizhuang, planning to wait for the rain to stop before returning to Buxian Garden.

Song Jing walked in from the gate with a cloak and an umbrella in his hand.

"Now that the rain is too heavy, it is inconvenient for your group to ride back, so I ordered someone to prepare a carriage for you." The boy walked to the corridor, took off his coat and handed it to the scholar beside him.

The scholar Xiaowen said loudly while taking the coat: "But the rain is so heavy, the water in the yard is almost enough to raise fish, can the carriage go?" ”

Xiaowen was probably used to following Song Jing's big grin, and as soon as the coat in his hand shook, there were water droplets flying in the direction of Li Chen, and Song Jing stepped forward and stood beside Li Chen without a trace, blocking the water droplets for her.

Seeing this, Shu Ye on the side couldn't help but glance at Song Jing, and said politely: "Thank you Song Langjun for taking care of the dots, when you played against my family Langjun, someone had already asked people to go back and prepare a carriage, and they should be able to come soon to greet them." ”

When Li Chen heard this, his brows frowned slightly, and he looked back at Shu Ye, "Why didn't you say it?" The implication was obviously that he was a little blamed for not saying it in advance and letting Song Jingbai arrange a trip.

Shu Ye was stunned, he was thinking that Song Jing was a noble son, probably someone else took care of everything for him, how could he have thought that this young man would be so careful and thoughtful.

Song Jing turned around, as if he hadn't heard Li Chen's words clearly just now, and said, "This rain probably won't stop for a while and a half, so it's better for you to go into the house and rest for a while." ”

Li Chen raised his head, looked at the dark and oppressive sky, and politely declined Song Jing's kindness, "I'm afraid that the rain will keep falling, and the more you delay, the more difficult it will be." ”

Song Jing saw that she had made up her mind, so she didn't persuade much, and just sent them into the carriage and left.

The low-key and luxurious carriage gradually drifted away in the rain, but Song Jing stood in front of the gate of Meizhuang and did not go back, and a gust of wind blew the water vapor over.

Xiaowen, the scholar who was accompanying him, couldn't help but ask curiously: "Lang Jun, who will Li Mingyue be?" ”

Song Jing, who was facing the rain scene, stood tall, and only said lightly: "No matter who she is, if she comes, try to be polite and thoughtful, don't stop her from doing whatever she wants, and send her away respectfully when she gets tired of playing." ”

Xiaowen stuck out his tongue, touched his head and said, "But I always think that this Li Langjun is too beautiful, but he looks like a little lady." ”

Song Jing was stunned, glanced back at Xiaowen, and said with a smile: "You are not an elm head. ”

Xiaowen was stunned, did Xiao Langjun praise him or hurt him?

A spring rain was very unusual and did not stop until night.

The streets in Chang'an City have become like small rivers because of the stagnant water. The saint and the queen in the Daming Palace could not rest assured that Princess Yongchang was alone in the garden, so he sent Liu Chun, a female official beside the queen, to take the sage's handwritten message, accompanied by a team of light horsemen, out of the city overnight, and took Princess Yongchang back to the palace.

Li Chen originally stayed alone in the garden of envy, except for boiling tea and practicing the piano, he had no other good pastimes. Taiping is not there, she originally wanted to go to Buxian Garden to see the spring tea picking and return to the palace, who knew that later a Song Jing popped up, she went to Meizhuang to play for a few days on a whim, in fact, she didn't feel much fun in her heart, and now she saw her mother and father send someone to pick her up back to the palace, and she didn't say a word, and went back with a group of people.

It's just that before parting, she took Mrs. Lu's hand and said with a smile: "Madam, I see that you are very good, keep her first, and let her wait for me next time I come to Buxian Garden." ”

Mrs. Lu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Princess, don't worry." ”

Shangguan Wan'er on the side heard this, and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Li Chen, who was talking to Mrs. Lu. The princess has always been indispensable to serve by her side, but this time when she went to Buxian Garden, when the princess dressed up as Xiao Langjun and went out to play, she didn't even bring her.

Why is that?

Shangguan Wan'er's delicate brows twisted slightly, and there was a faint sense of crisis in her heart.

When Li Chen returned to Fengyang Pavilion, Taiping had already fallen asleep. After Liu Chun sent the princess back to Fengyang Pavilion and settled down, he went back to report to Wu Zetian. Li Chen let Liu Xin and Shangguan Wan'er help change their clothes and lay on the dry and warm couch.

Listening to the sound of the rain outside, there was no sign of easing the rain.

Good rain knows the season, when spring happens.

But the rain was too heavy, and it was too unusual.

Li Chen, who returned to Daming Palace from Buxian Garden, did not sleep peacefully that night, she dreamed that Buxian Garden was flooded for a while, and dreamed of Song Jingmei for a while, in the dream she even accused Song Jing of being a young man, saying that celebrities and gentlemen are romantic, but I played with you for a few days, and I didn't feel it at all, you really disappointed me.

Li Chen, who woke up from his dream, looked at the tent in front of him and felt a little crazy.

I didn't sleep well all night, Li Chen was a little depressed and went to ask her mother for peace, the Spring Silkworm Ceremony was about to be held, Wu Zetian had a lot of things to do, and the youngest daughter came to ask for peace, and she also put down the things at hand, and asked her about her life in Buxian Garden.

Li Chen sat next to her mother, holding a cup of tea in her hand, which she had just cooked, she learned a new skill of dividing tea from Lu Guan, although it was not good, but she could barely offer ugliness, so she made a pot of tea in front of her mother, she was the cup of tea for Wu Ze's talent, and the surface of the tea was a silkworm made of soup flowers.

Seeing this, Wu Zetian was angry and funny.

Li Chen was full of words, "Because my mother is about to hold a silkworm ceremony, I only have the appearance of a silkworm in my mind. ”

Taiping smiled and dismantled her platform: "During the silkworm ceremony, we still have to pick mulberry leaves, and you can make a mulberry leaf better than a silkworm." ”

Li Chen pursed her lips, and then continued to tell Wu Zetian and Taiping about her affairs in the Garden, she knew that her parents must know everything about the Garden, and she also told her about going to Meizhuang to play.

"There is a person about the same age as the fourth brother, who is very good-looking, I was a little bored in Buxian Garden, so I took Shu Ye and Shu Zhi to play with him. Well, I thought he was fun at first, but then I found out that he couldn't compare to Li Qinwei. Li Chen's expression was a little disappointed.

Wu Zetian saw that what his daughter said was not fake, and he didn't blame her for pretending to be Xiao Langjun and running out to play. In the eyes of Wu Zetian and Li Zhi, even if Li Chen's actions are a bit willful, there is nothing wrong with it.

Wu Zetian put down the cup in his hand, and did not hide his appreciation for Li Jingye in his words, "Li Jingye is born noble after Li Ji, and he is taught by Li Ji himself, so naturally he is not an ordinary person who can compare with him." But thinking that in the past six months, Li Jingye and the prince of the East Palace have been in frequent contacts, Wu Zetian can't help but sigh a little in his heart, Li Jingye is a good seedling, but unfortunately it was planted in the wrong place. If there is a chance, you can move the seedlings to another place, but I don't know what the seedlings will grow into if you change places.

Wu Zetian looked at Li Chen's somewhat unhealthy appearance, the expression on his face was slightly soft, he reached over and touched her cheek, and said softly: "But I was too tired to go back to the palace overnight last night?" ”

Li Chen's face rubbed lightly on his mother's hand, and he did not deny it.

Wu Zetian said: "After going to see your father, go back to Fengyang Pavilion to rest for a while." ”

"But I heard from Sister Ah that Brother Crown Prince is sick again, I want to go to the East Palace with Sister Ah to see Brother and Sister-in-law of the Prince, I brought some wild vegetables picked by Lu Sicheng in the back mountain back in the Garden, and I want to send them to try it."

When Wu Zetian heard this, he raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything.

The children are in harmony, and as a mother, that's very happy, isn't it?

The spring rain has been falling for several days, and it has not stopped, and Li Zhi can't help but worry. A few years ago it was a great drought, and now it is a flood, and the heavy rain does not stop, and the spring planting has just begun, and the rain does not stop, and the crops will be drowned by the continuous rain.

God's mood is always not good for long, and he will break a hole in a place without warning, and a natural disaster will come to the territory of Datang, what can I do about it?

Forget about natural disasters, come back**.

The border between the Tang Dynasty and Silla was also unstable, and the Silla soldiers frequently harassed the border people and created disturbances.

Li Zhi ordered Liu Renliang to be the chief of the marching army and go to attack Silla. When Li Chen heard that Liu Renliang was going to crusade against Silla, he couldn't help but calculate how old this minister his father valued very much.

Li Chen calculated, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: it was already past the year of the sixtieth year.

At this time, Li Zhi was practicing with Li Chen, and when he saw that she was suddenly distracted, he reminded her gently, "Don't be distracted when practicing." ”

Li Chen came back to his senses, turned his head to look at his father, and sighed: "Liu Zuoxiang is really old and strong." "Recently, there were a lot of bad things that my father encountered, Li Chen was afraid that his father would be overly worried and suffer from rheumatism, so he deliberately found a gap and pestered his father to accompany her to practice the piano. Practicing the piano is secondary, and she mainly hopes that her father can temporarily let go of the troubles in his heart. Natural disasters**, none of which can be solved by worrying.

Li Zhi smiled, and was about to speak, when he heard Li Chen ask curiously: "Aya, if Liu Zuoxiang wants to disarm and return to the field in the future, will there be someone in the court and China who is as prestigious as Liu Zuoxiang to deter the border?" ”

Li Zhi said with a smile: "In the past, there were Li Ji and Xue Rengui, but now probably no one can have such a reputation as Liu Renliang." ”

A few years ago, there were still several famous generals in the DPRK, but now only Liu Renliang is left? Because of her parents, Li Chen is also concerned about the affairs of the government, after all, she is in the center of politics, and she doesn't know which day she will be involved in the whirlpool of politics.

In the past few years, my father also wanted to train some young generals, but there were always some things that backfired.

Li Chen thought for a while, and suddenly asked his father: "If Li Jingye can follow Liu Zuoxiang to fight on the battlefield, can he have the same demeanor as his grandfather did back then?" ”
