Li Chen thought, I want to accompany Sister A, but right now, it's not Yan Chongming who ran out to make waves again, second brother, you don't know what's going on, as soon as this guy came out, you were just shocked and angry, I just came over to take a look.

Although he thought so in his heart, Li Chen still followed the second brother with a smile and said, "I want to accompany my sister, but I don't stick to her all the time, she will be annoyed by me." I came to the East Palace, but the second brother annoys me? ”

Li Xian frowned and reprimanded: "Full of nonsense, who will annoy you?" ”

Li Chen pursed his lips and laughed, half joking and half disgusting: "Since the second brother became His Royal Highness the Prince, he has a big temper, Yongchang Shi heard Shouli's heart-rending voice from a distance, where did he make the second brother unhappy?" ”

When Li Xian heard this, he felt a little embarrassed, but he still had a look on his face that was like laughing with Ah Mei in the past, "When will Ah Mei start to fight for her nephews?" ”

Li Chen turned around and raised his eyes to look at him quietly.

Li Xian raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

Li Chen: "Second brother, I've heard about it. ”

Li Xian: "......"

Li Chen turned around, walked straight to the chair in the court and sat down, "What happened to Father and Mother Yan Chongming again?" He's just a warlock with a mouth full of demons and ghosts, and I'm afraid how many storms he can turn over? ”

Li Xian put his hands behind his back and stood opposite Li Chen.

The young prince's handsome face had a slightly wry smile, "Sister, you are not in your position, how can you empathize with the ups and downs." "Going against my mother, it's not a good thing, my mother called the queen of heaven for more than ten years, and my father was respected by the two saints, and my father was still in good health and had the energy to preside over the government, and my mother was still frequently attacking him.

"Although I can't empathize, I understand that if the second brother hears what Yan Chongming says, he has to respond, then it will be his wish."

Li Chen feels that Li Xian today is like a leather ball, when others shoot it, he will jump it. Since no matter how you shoot, you will respond, then of course I have to shoot something and everything, otherwise how can I disturb the enemy's position?

Li Xian walked over, sat down in Li Chen's chair, and muttered for a moment before he said to Li Chen: "Yongchang, the second brother doesn't want to whitewash the peace with you, anyone with a discerning eye can see that my mother is really dissatisfied with me, and I have to guard against it." ”

It was her own mother, even if this mother had allowed rumors to fly all over the harem earlier, saying that the crown prince Li Xiannai was the illegitimate son of the saint when he had an affair with Mrs. Han in the early years, and was only secretly raised by Her Royal Highness the Empress.

If a mother wants to scold her son, she doesn't need a reason.

And the son wants to disobey his mother, no matter what the reason, it is not a reason. His mother can deduct an unfilial name on his head anytime and anywhere, and when the time comes, she will make a fuss about the prince's private virtues.

's mother relied on such an identity advantage to press him step by step.

Li Chen looked at his brother's appearance, and his heart was slightly sour. There is no family affection under the imperial power, very cruel and helpless, if her mother is willing to be the master of a harem, Li Xian will be her pride. But her mother is not, she is obsessed with power and chasing power from the bones.

Li Chen pressed down the taste in his heart and said to Li Xian: "Second brother, my father's wind disease is getting worse day by day, and he can't even preside over the government when he has an unbearable headache. ”

The monarchy is bestowed, and as an emperor, Li Zhi will also be superstitious.

The laws of the Tang Dynasty explicitly prohibit witchcraft, and also prohibit folk astrology and fortune telling.

But Li Chen felt that his father had always been in a state of use of these things. When there is a solar eclipse, my father will also wear plain clothes to welcome the changes, and he will also evacuate the main hall, reduce food and entertainment, and convene hundreds of officials to discuss political affairs, but these are just a way for him to respond to the king's heavenly mandate. My father himself was not superstitious.

While Li Chen was talking to his second brother, he felt that he actually didn't have back pain when he was standing and talking.

No matter how the second brother is, he is also a young man in his early twenties, and if he wants to leave it in the future, he may still be studying. It's a pity that he was born in the family of the Tang Emperor, and he always had a prince and brother in front of him in the past, and he never thought that he would become a prince one day.

Once the crown prince's brother died suddenly, he was named the crown prince and became the successor of the imperial power, which was highly anticipated.

There are people who support him who defect to him, and there are people who regard him as a thorn in their side who don't want to pull his pigtails all the time, and among those who regard him as a thorn in their side, the first is his mother.

Li Xian became the crown prince, but after a few years, although he was talented, he was young and vigorous. And my mother entered the palace at the age of fourteen, from Taizong's talented people all the way to my father's queen, for decades, she used the conditions when she had the conditions, created the conditions if she didn't, and was patient.

Asking Li Xian to be calm and calm in the face of his scheming mother, and even to behave more calmly and powerful than his mother, is indeed a bit of a fool's dream.

But what can be done now?

Li Chen shook his head, shook many of the entanglements in his mind to the clouds, and snorted lightly, his tone was very disdainful, "What's wrong with Yan Chongming?" We don't take him seriously, he's just a clown at best. The father hasn't said anything yet, so why should the second brother mess up? ”

Li Xian looked at the girl in front of him, Taiping was already fifteen, and now the little princess of Yongchang was also slim and elegant, and she was very smart. Li Xian remembered that when he was in Jiucheng Palace, Ah Mei, who was still very childish in her face, sent Zhao Daosheng away beside him without mercy, and at that time he faintly felt that this little princess who was held in the palm of her hand by the whole family, when she unscrupulously enjoyed the favor given by her family, she also had her own name in her heart.

Whether it is Taiping or Li Chen, his two sisters, he loves them all the same.

But on some sensitive matters, the attitudes shown by the two sisters are diametrically opposed. Taiping rarely involves these rights and wrongs, and she rarely comes to the East Palace without scruples like Li Chen, and Taiping has never come to the East Palace alone.

He inevitably remembered a long time ago, when Li Chen was still a little doll-like age, she had only learned to make tea at that time, and she came to the East Palace with Taiping to make tea for the prince Li Hong, who was recuperating in the East Palace, to relieve her boredom. At that time, the chamberlain beside the prince was so defenseless that the prince drank the tea she brewed, and she lost his temper.

At that time, Li Chen's reason was that the crown prince, as the prince of a country, should be cautious no matter what it is, even if it is the closest person around him, he must be on guard.

After the sudden death of the eldest brother, there were also rumors that the death of the prince was not a sudden death, but was killed by Her Royal Highness the Queen.

What is the truth about the death of the eldest brother, there is no way to investigate it now. But when Li Xian recalled these things, he always felt as if Li Chen knew something.

Li Xian looked at his sister's arrogant and disdainful appearance when she talked about Yan Chongming, and couldn't help but smile, "You can see it, it was carried by my mother, and I won my father's favor." ”

"Winning the favor of my father doesn't mean anything, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and there are more people who are favored by my father, will my father obey them?"

Li Xian was a little crying and laughing, "Are you unreasonable?" ”

Li Chen glanced at him, "Why am I unreasonable?" That's what happened, in short, Yan Chongming, you don't have to take him in your eyes, he is full of demons and ghosts, and his mouth is open, maybe the streets of Chang'an City are full of his enemies. ”

But no matter what, Li Xian felt relieved to hear Li Chen say this.

It seems that Li Chen is not involved in many things, and once he is involved, whether she is intentional or unintentional, she can always let things develop in a direction that is beneficial to him.

Li Chen left from the East Palace, and the crown princess Fang personally accompanied her out, "I'm thinking about the Taiping Surrender, what should I give her." Yongchang, Taiping has loved you since you were a child, you are always glued together on weekdays, what she likes, you know the most in your heart. ”

"Sister-in-law, don't be polite, Sister Ao lacks nothing, and the treasury of the princess's mansion prepared by my father and mother for Sister A is estimated to be overpowered."

Fang said softly: "Then I should also express my heart." ”

Li Chen thought for a while and said, "Sister really likes the rose fragrance that my sister-in-law gave her last year, but she said at the time that it was a pity that there was only a small bottle and it was not used. ”

Fang smiled and nodded, "I know, thank you Ah Mei." "The rose fragrance was specially made by the mother at home, a bottle is rare, and there were a few more bottles left in the brewing last year, so she took it and gave it to Taiping and Li Chen a bottle, and I don't know if my mother has brewed it this year.

Fang was pondering in his heart, when suddenly a childish voice came from afar, "Mother! Aunt! ”

The two looked back and saw that it was Li Shouli, who was still punished by his father that morning.

Li Shouli ran over, stood beside Fang's side, looked up at Li Chen, and said with a smile: "Auntie, are you going back?" ”

Li Chen's patience with the child did not exceed two minutes, and she did not forget that when she rescued the little guy from the second brother, he rubbed his beautiful clothes with snot and tears on his face.

So Li Chen looked at Li Shouli with a very disgusted look, "Yes, if I don't go back, do I want to see you crying?" ”

When Li Shouli heard this, his mouth flattened, "I didn't cry." ”

Li Chen didn't want to quarrel with the child, so he smiled and said to Fang's: "Sister-in-law stays, it's not a long way. ”

Fang: "I may not have spoken to Yongchang for a long time, and I want to talk to you." ”

Li Chen raised his eyes to look at Fang's, a young woman in her early twenties, with the charm of a light mature woman, how to say that she is also a very good partner, but the second brother doesn't like it. She is not favored at least she is still the crown princess, but there are still many young women in the harem, and their good years have been spent in the deep palace, and no one has ever felt sorry for them.
