Wu Zetian sat in the position, and beside her sat Pei and Fang. Li Xian's concubine Fang Shi was the brother of Taizong's famous minister Fang Xuanling, and Wu Zetian heard that she was famous in Chang'an and was a member of the Fang family, so he discussed with Li Zhi to choose her as the concubine of King Yong.

Li Chen felt that at this time, when her mother was choosing a concubine for her two brothers, she paid great attention to one point, that is, she looked at a high-ranking family, but in fact, whether it was in the local area or in the court, she did not have much power, and she would not have to worry about her relatives. But now when her mother talks about the third brother Li Xian's concubine candidate, she still has a smile on her face, but Li Chen sees a little dislike in the corners of her mother's eyes and eyebrows.

At this time, Li Yanxi was telling Taiping and others about the interesting story that she and her brother went to the west of Chang'an a few days ago, and everyone listened to it with relish. What Li Yanxi said is nothing more than Li Jingye taking her on a horse, knowing what wild vegetables and wild fruits and other things, some people are interested and some people feel boring, but Taiping and Li Chen like to listen to it, everyone sees that the two princesses like to listen, and no matter how much they don't like it, they have to make a look of listening with relish.

Li Jingye is now a personal guard in the palace, and he is even appreciated by Li Zhi and the prince, his sister Li Yanxi and Li Chen are of the same age, Wu Zetian sometimes simply asks Li Jingye to bring his sister into the palace to play with Li Chen, and now it is a family banquet, and there is not too much attention, Li Jingye has a title, even if he is not a member of the royal family, he also makes an exception in it.

Li Chen listened absentmindedly to what Li Yanxi said, and couldn't help but pay attention to his mother's movements over there, and when he saw that his mother's expression was quite playful, Li Chen couldn't sit still in the little noble pile here, and stood up.

Seeing this, Taiping called out to her: "Sister, where are you going?" ”

Li Chen: "I want to go over and sit with my mother for a while." ”

Taiping said with a smile: "Mother is with the two sisters-in-law, it must be that there is something going on in the East Palace recently, the prince and brother are in better health, and the second sister-in-law is used to these things in the Yongwang Mansion outside the palace." ”

Li Chen grinned at Sister Taiping: "I also like to hear these things." ”

Seeing this, Taiping smiled a little. She is more and more unable to figure out what her sister likes, often see what her father says, she listens to it with relish, her mother talks to her father, she also loves to join in the fun, and she can't figure out whether she understands or not with a serious look. Now that the two brothers are concubines, the two sisters-in-law and their mothers report on the affairs of the East Palace and the palace, and she will not feel bored when she goes to listen to the shortcomings of those parents.

Taiping couldn't help but be a little helpless: "What is she going to do when she listens to so many miscellaneous things?" ”

Li Yanxi, who was talking, heard Taiping's headless muttering, and looked at Taiping with some confusion, "Princess? ”

Taiping patted her on the shoulder with a smile and said, "It's okay, you continue." ”

And when Fang Shi over there saw Li Chen coming, he stood up and gave her his seat.

Wu Zetian looked at his daughter with a smile and stretched out his hand to her, "What's wrong?" Every time this kind of informal family banquet, Li Chen likes to get together with his friends.

In fact, Li Chen doesn't really like to get together with a group of little girls, but these little girls are from good backgrounds, many of them are queens of the royal family, and there are also daughters of marquis of the imperial court.

Li Chen sat beside his mother with a smile, "I vaguely heard my mother say that she wanted to choose a concubine for the third brother, and I was curious. ”

Wu Zetian said: "You can think about everything clearly. ”

Li Chen smiled, half refuting and half coquettish: "I don't think about everything clearly, but my mother wants to help the third brother choose a concubine, this is a big deal." Mother, don't you hurry up and tell sù who Yongchang's future sister-in-law is? ”

Seeing this, Pei couldn't help but purse his lips and laugh. Before she became the crown princess, she knew that Li Chen was extremely favored, and this little princess had never been domineering because her parents had a soft spot for her, she was always coquettish and foolish at the right time, and appeared next to the anxious emperor and wife at the right time, so that it was really a treasure given by God to the emperor and his wife. Even the prince loves this youngest sister very much, and when he sees fun and fresh things, he puts the word Yongchang on his lips.

Wu Zetian looked at Li Chen with a smile, as if he intended to sell Guanzi.

Li Chen grinned, but his heart beat a drum: Is it really Webster? If it's really Webster, it's troublesome, why haven't you heard about my father choosing a concubine for the third brother!

I really thought about it, and the outside reported that the saint had arrived.

Father, the prince, brother and others walked in, and all the people in the hall came up to pay their respects, and my father still smiled as before and said that since it was a family banquet, there were not so many rules, so adults and children could play separately.

Li Zhi walked to Wu Zetian and sat down, and asked Li Chen, "Why don't Yongchang play?" ”

Li Chen said a little depressedly: "I heard my mother say that I wanted to take a concubine for my third brother, and I was curious and wanted to know who it was, but my mother didn't tell me." ”

Li Zhi looked at Wu Zetian, and then said with a smile: "It's okay if your mother doesn't sue you, but your father sues you." ”

Li Chen was overjoyed, and looked at Li Zhi with big eyes shining with hope.

Wu Zetian said with a bit of disgust: "The lord always dismantles the concubine's platform for this child. Although the words complained, the tone was a little helpless and conniving.

Seeing this, Li Zhi laughed again.

Li Chen looked at his father, and when his father laughed at this time, the corners of his eyes were already full of fine lines, but these fine lines did not look old on him, but they added a bit of charm to him. No matter when, Li Chen admits that his father is good-looking, even if he is now middle-aged, his noble and elegant temperament is still vividly expressed in him.

Li Zhi looked at Li Chen and said, "Your future third sister-in-law is the county lord in Zhao Gui's mansion. “

Is it a county lord? Not Merriam-Webster?

Li Chen blinked, in fact, she was not unfamiliar with the name Zhao Gui, Zhao Gui's father had made military exploits when he was Gaozu, so Gaozu lowered his seventh daughter, Princess Changle, to the Zhao family. After Zhao Guishang was the princess of Changle, he served as the general of Zuo Qianniu. Father has always been kind and courteous to his family, and now it happens that Princess Changle's daughter Zhao has reached the time to get married, and his father learned of this, and it happened that the third brother Li Xian should also be a concubine at this time, and his father adhered to the principle that fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, so he wanted to marry his aunt.

Li Chen only cares about whether the person the third brother wants to marry is Webster, as long as it is not Webster, it doesn't matter who it is to her. Li Chen thought that if it was Webster, she would naturally want to remove this bane before Webster became the Princess of England.

Li Chen looked at her mother, her mother had a tepid smile on her face, Li Chen has been by her mother's side all these years, and she has long been familiar with her every move, maybe her mother's façade kung fu can be done without leakage, but she is her mother's daughter, and her mother has rarely been fortified in front of her since she was a child, she may not be able to figure out the specific thoughts in her mother's heart, but whether her mother is happy or not, Li Chen can really feel it. At this time, the mother was not happy in her heart.

Li Chen was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Li Xian, who was talking to Li Dan and Li Jingye and others not far away, Li Xian didn't know what he said, his eyebrows fluttered, and he didn't know that he was being discussed. Facing this third brother, Li Chen actually felt a little angry in his heart.

The so-called dragon gives birth to nine sons, each of which is different. The father's and mother's sons, the prince's brother is studious and benevolent, the second brother Li Xian has been smart since childhood, and the fourth brother Li Dan is particularly talented in music and rhythm, and he writes well. Only the third brother Li Xian, since he was a flying eagle lackey, everything is bad, when Li Chen was three years old, the third brother was obsessed with cockfighting, at that time the second brother also liked to play around, the third brother held a few chickens to find the second brother, saying that he wanted to fight cocks.

Cockfighting is □□, but at that time, the second brother recruited Wang Bo to be a waiter in the house, and the third brother said that since Wang Bo is so good at writing, wouldn't it be wonderful for you and me to write essays? So, Wang Bo wrote a brilliant essay to help the fun, but when his father heard this, he was furious, saying that Wang Bo, as a staff member of King Pei, saw that the two kings did not admonish the cockfight, but wrote to help the fun, so he immediately dismissed Wang Bo from his official position and drove him out of King Pei's mansion. The two princes had fun and harmed the pond fish, Li Chen felt that it couldn't be said that it was just the fault of the third brother, but she had heard about Wang Bo, the fourth master of the early Tang Dynasty, and had long wanted to see the style, who knew that the shadow was not seen, and the people were driven away, and she was really resentful in her heart.

Li Chen was in a trance, and suddenly a burst of laughter pulled her thoughts back. She turned her head and looked at the laughing place, her parents and the prince's brother and others didn't know what they were talking about, which made the crown princess Pei's face slightly red, and Fang's and second brother Li Xian looked at each other and smiled, and then looked at the laughing mother.

This scene fell in Li Chen's eyes, and he felt warm and rare in his heart for a while, and he was faintly lost and sad for a while.

Turning her head to look at Taiping, who was held by the stars not far away, she sat in the midst of everyone, the sun spilled in through the window lattice, and she smiled in the soft sunlight.

The girl's laughter was like a silver bell, crisp and pleasant, and Xue Shao, a young man not far from her, couldn't help but look back at her, and then his eyebrows were slightly hooked like the corners of the young man's mouth that could be painted, and he outlined a most charming arc

Li Chen thought: I don't know how long such a stable life can last?

Just as she was thinking about it, a voice suddenly sounded in her ears, "Why doesn't the princess go over to play?" ”

Li Chen turned around, and now Li Jingye, who was already an adult, was behind her, with long hair and a long robe, he was long and jade, and his demeanor was graceful. It's no wonder that more and more little nobles are willing to play with Li Yanxi nowadays, Li Jingye is indeed a rare beautiful man.

Li Chen felt that anyway, in these years, the men around her didn't seem to be ugly. From his father to several brothers, to Xue Shao and Li Jingye, all of them are good enough to stand in the painting.
