After Li Chen left Qingning Palace, Shangguan Wan'er fell to her knees.

"Her Royal Highness the Queen, it's Wan'er who is not doing her job well."

Wu Zetian lowered his eyes, looked at Shangguan Wan'er who was kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "These rumors have reached the ears of the prince, and Yongchang will naturally know about it, so I don't blame you." ”

The rumors about Li Xian's life experience were indeed released by her, which was nothing more than to let Li Xian understand that he could be the prince because she was the queen, and if one day, his mother was not the queen, his position as the crown prince would be unjustifiable, and sooner or later it would be abolished.

As the crown prince, there is nothing wrong with Li Xian. The only bad thing is that he is too smart and capable.

In the past, Li Hong was also smart and capable, but his body was very weak, and he often got sick and needed to recuperate in the East Palace, and that's it, Wu Zetian already felt that Li Hong's threat was too great. What's more, today's Li Xian is physically strong, Wen Taowu is strategic, and has won unanimous praise from the government and the opposition.

How long has he been a prince now?

Less than two years.

His reputation now is no worse than that of Li Hong back then.

Wu Zetian also read the "Book of the Later Han" in which Li Xian summoned civil officials to make annotations, and admitted in his heart that he was indeed a very good person. If he was a little Langjun from an ordinary noble family, she would also promote him eagerly, but unfortunately he was not, he was the prince.

Even mother and son, they are destined to compete for imperial power.

If she wants to get supreme power, she has long had the consciousness of killing gods when she meets gods and killing Buddhas when she meets Buddhas.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Wu Zetian who was sad and happy in front of her, with a hesitant look on her face, "Her Royal Highness the Empress? ”

Wu Zetian tilted his head and looked at her.

"The princess is like this now, is she going to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Wu Zetian glanced at Shangguan Wan'er with some amusement, "Whether it is Yongchang or Taiping, she has always been very favored by her father and brother, and now it is human nature to be angry when she hears rumors, if she doesn't help her brother, it will be unreasonable." ”

Shangguan Wan'er: "If the princess is like this-"

Wu Zetian smiled and raised his hand, stopping Shangguan Wan'er's next words, and his voice was slightly cold: "Wan'er, I appreciate your talent very much, but there are many things that you don't understand. In the harem, you only need to know one thing, and that is what I say. Princess, that's my business, and as long as I don't say anything, you shouldn't speculate. ”

When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, she lowered her head and said yes.

Wu Zetian glanced at her lightly and said, "Ming Chongyan hasn't entered the palace for a while. ”

Shangguan Wan'er immediately understood, "Wan'er immediately asked someone to send a message to Doctor Ming." ”

Wu Zetian smiled, noncommittal.

Li Chen left Qingning Palace and happened to meet Si Qi, the palace maid beside Taiping.

"Princess Yongchang, my princess said that she wanted to go to the East Palace to see His Royal Highness the Prince's Xiao Langjun, and asked if you wanted to be together."

Li Chen bent his big eyes, "Okay, what about Sister?" ”

"The princess is waiting for you in Fengyang Pavilion now."

When Li Chen heard this, he quickened his pace and went back to Fengyang Pavilion.

Li Xian and Fang's have been married for several years, but Fang's has never had children, Li Xian had a son when he was still a prince, and this son is still the first grandson of his father and mother, Li Guangshun, but his biological mother's status is not high, so he doesn't attach much importance to it. After becoming the crown prince, Li Xian was crowned a Liangdi Zhang, and Zhang Liangdi also gave birth to a son Li Shouli for Li Xian, and now Li Shouli is being raised by the Fang family.

When Li Chen and Taiping went to the East Palace, Li Xian's children were playing in the West Pool Courtyard of the East Palace, the crown princess Fang Shi and Zhang Liangdi were sitting on the side, and beside them, there were two female officials with big bellies.

Li Chen was a little embarrassed, thinking that in the past, the eldest brother Li Hong only had the crown princess Pei, and the two husbands sang with the women, Qin Se and Ming, which made people envious when they looked at it. Now the second brother Li Xian is the opposite, when he became the prince, he made the Zhang family Liangdi, and now there are two female officials who are pregnant. Li Chen thought of Zhao Daosheng who was sent away by Shu Ye, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, the second brother is really a vegetarian.

But this kind of thing is nothing to make a fuss about, Li Chen still remembers that when he was a child, he squatted in a corner with Taiping Peek-a-boo, and heard a story about Li Chengqian and his favorite homosexual, but unfortunately in the end, it was Ah Weng Taizong who beat the mandarin duck and clicked the male pet, which was simply the Tang Dynasty court version of sadomasochism.

When the two children saw Li Chen and Taiping, they ran over and called their aunt with a smile.

Li Chen has been afraid of bear children since she was a child, and she wants to run away as soon as the bear children are naughty, so when she saw the two little nephews, she frowned and flashed to the side.

Li Guangshun is okay, his biological mother is not from a high background, although he has his father's support, but he is not a descendant in the end, and he is not raised in the princess's room like Li Shouli, and when he sees the two princesses and aunts, he will still behave properly, although the rules are only half an hour. And Li Shouli is different, after Li Shouli was born, he was adopted by Fang's, he was used to Fang's every day, and Li Chen felt that he didn't know if he owed this little guy a lot of money in his previous life, anyway, Li Shouli liked to run after her when he saw her, Li Chen, who didn't like bear children very much, was like a mouse seeing a cat every time he saw Li Shouli, and he was uncomfortable.

Li Shouli tugged at Li Chen's skirt, "Auntie, aunt, you hug me." ”

Li Chen looked at the little guy with his head up, it was really quite flattering, but ...... She quickly remembered the last time she had barely hugged the little one, and he had slapped her shoulder.

Li Chen kept a straight face and refused without hesitation: "No, you go to Aunt Taiping." ”

When Li Shouli heard this, he looked at his Aunt Yongchang very aggrievedly, with tears in his eyes.

Li Chen was indifferent and stared at him.

Soon, however, the confrontation between the aunt and nephew was broken by a chuckle.

When Li Chen heard the laughter, he looked at the laughter very unhappily, and he was stunned for a moment.

Speaking of which, Li Chen hadn't seen Li Jingye for more than a year, and when Li Jingye came back from the crusade against Silla, he was almost all the way up. But then a lot of things happened, the prince's brother died suddenly, his father was seriously ill, and then the new prince was canonized, and he went to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer, originally the harem had no direct relationship with the outer court, Li Chen at most occasionally met Li Yanxi, and then knew some news about Li Jingye from Li Yanxi's mouth. But I really haven't seen Li Jingye for a long time, I haven't seen him for more than a year, and the boy who used to be a teenager is now an adult.

No wonder Pei Yan has never given up and wants to recruit Li Jingye as his son-in-law.

It is said that the female college has changed eighteen times, and the male college has also changed eighteen times, which is more and more exciting. Li Chen thought that if Li Jingye was still like this five years later, maybe he would have the heart to take him as a male pet.

Handsome men are loved by everyone, but they don't do anything at home, and it's pleasing to the eye just to look at.

Li Jingye met Li Chen's gaze and bowed his hand to her without humility or arrogance, "I've seen a princess." ”

And beside Li Jingye is the current Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Xian.

can let Li Xian bring him into the East Palace to see his wife and children, it can be seen that Li Jingye has a good relationship with Li Xian in private. Li Chen remembered that on the lake in Buxian Garden, the prince Li Hong was talking about the law that is dead after all, and it can't be generalized, but Li Chen didn't praise it At the same time, Li Jingye young man faced the breeze and said to Li Chen-

"What the princess said is very true, but the law is nothing more than a clear understanding, and sometimes blindly paying attention to policy laws is not necessarily good."

At that time, the young man, like the prince's brother, was full of unrealistic ideals for the future.

Five years later, the former boy was already a pillar of the imperial court, and his followers were changed from Li Hong to Li Xian, no matter who it was, it was destined that his path would be very difficult in the future.

Fang and the others were slightly stunned when they saw Li Jingye, but when Taiping saw Li Jingye, they inevitably remembered Xue Shao's letter to her about this person, in Taiping's opinion, although Li Jingye looked good-looking, he was actually a big-tailed wolf in his bones.

Li Xian looked at Fang Shi and said, "Guangshun is now at the age when he should learn to shoot and ride, I will bring General Li to let him see this child." ”

Fang smiled and saluted Li Xian, and then exchanged a few words of greeting with Li Jingye, and then took Zhang Liangdi and the two pregnant women down.

Li Chen and Taiping have been no strangers to Li Jingye since childhood, especially Li Chen, when Li Jingye was still a guard in the palace, every time she went to Buxian Garden, Li Jingye was accompanied by her, not to mention that his sister and Li Chen were still best friends.

Therefore, although the crown princess and others retired, Li Chen and Taiping were gossiping with Li Jingye.

Li Chen and Li Jingye have nothing to say, she admires Li Jingye and thinks that Li Jingye is a talent, so she came up with the idea of letting him follow the path of the former British Gong Li Ji, become a generation of famous generals, and stabilize the country. So she managed to recommend Li Jingye to Li Zhi, she did, and Li Jingye also stood on the side of the Li Tang royal family as she wished, Li Chen felt very pleased. Except for relief, there is no other feeling.

On the contrary, Taiping was much more curious.

She first asked Li Jingye what the situation on the frontier was when he attacked Silla and how the people on the border were, and then slowly pulled Li Jingye to the age of starting a family now, why he had not yet started a family.

Li Jingye pondered for a moment, and then said: "I grew up in Chang'an City since I was a child, and I thought that the prosperity, joys, sorrows, and joys of the world were all in this corner. Later, I traveled with Liu Zuoxiang all over the Tang Dynasty, only to know that the world is hard, although I don't expect to be able to make contributions to the Tang Dynasty like my grandfather, but I can do my part to be worthy of my grandfather. ”

Li Xian heard what he said, and he was a little angry, "Can't you be loyal to Datang if you marry a wife and have children?" ”

Li Chen nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Yes, yes, what the second brother said is very true." After finishing speaking, her big watery eyes looked at Li Jingye, "Do you have something unspeakable?" ”

Li Jingye: "...... No. ”
