Speaking of which, Li Chen is not dissatisfied with his father.

The of his father and Korean wife, mother and daughter, in Li Chen's eyes, did not seem painful. In the past, Ah Weng Taizong accepted his brother's wife, and then Li Longjina's own daughter-in-law as a concubine, probably because the Tang Dynasty royal family had nomadic blood, they didn't care much about these things, and Li Chen felt that she had nothing to care about.

But now some people are making a fuss about the past of Li Zhi and Mrs. Han.

Everyone in Daming Palace knows that when Princess Yongchang walks around the palace, she is very low-key and does not disturb others under normal circumstances. But Li Chen's low-key habit made her hear a few palace maids picking flowers in the garden of Daming Palace exchanging the latest gossip in a low voice.

"Everyone says that the crown prince is not the biological son of Her Royal Highness the Queen."

"The crown prince was born on the way to worship the first emperor Zhaoling with the saint, and at that time Her Royal Highness the queen was pregnant, if there is no article in it, how could he go to Zhaoling Zhaoling in winter?"

"Shhhh

"This matter has been spread all over the harem, maybe there has been a rumor to Her Royal Highness the Queen, if it is fake, there should have been a ban a long time ago."

Speaking of which, Li Chen walked in the garden with Yang Zhi Manna, although the movement was not big, but it was not so unnoticeable. But Li Chen saw these palace maids gathering together from a distance, and remembered that Zhang slowly told her about the rumors in the harem recently, so he raised his hand to stop Yang Zhimanlu's actions behind her, she quietly took a few steps forward, and heard what these palace maids were saying.

Li Chen listened expressionlessly, and at this time, a palace maid turned around and saw Li Chen standing not far from them, she was shocked, the flower in her hand fell to the ground, and she quickly knelt down, "Princess Yongchang!" ”

Seeing this, the rest of the people also quickly knelt on the ground.

Li Chen looked at them coldly: "Who gave you the courage to spread rumors so openly in the palace?" ”

The palace maid who was kneeling on the ground trembled and admitted her mistake vigorously. And one of the palace maids who was more courageous raised her head and looked at Li Chen, "Princess Yongchang, the master of the servant is a talented Shangguan. ”

When Li Chen heard this, he smiled, "Oh? Shangguan Wan'er, is it? Your master is Shangguan Wan'er, and then what? ”

The palace maid was speechless, Shangguan Cairen used to be a celebrity around Princess Yongchang, and now she is a celebrity around Her Royal Highness the Queen, she thought that if she reported Shangguan Wan'er's name, she might be able to escape, but who knew that Princess Yongchang would not eat this at all.

Li Chen smiled a little carelessly, his tone was not heavy but it was a little creepy, "Do you think that now Shangguan Cairen is a celebrity next to Her Royal Highness the Empress, you can lift her out and press me, right?" As she spoke, her little face turned flat, and she coldly ordered the manna beside her, "Send them all to the court, I want them to never dare to talk nonsense again." ”

Ganlu nodded in acceptance, and looked at the palace maids kneeling on the ground with some sympathy in her eyes. Their princess spoke implicitly, but she followed the princess all the year round and understood the princess's thoughts very well. The princess said that they would not dare to talk nonsense from now on, and after the female officials of the court bureau got the order, they turned around and poisoned these people.

It's hard to say anything, I have to talk about the prince Li Xian.

Among the princes, the relationship between their princess and the current crown prince is the best.

Li Chen left the nectar behind, and took Yang Zhi to Qingning Palace.

Li Chen knew very well in his heart that if no one let it go, there would be no such rumors in the harem.

In broad daylight, it was so blatant that it was clear that there was someone behind it.

No one is a fool, and the rumor that the prince is not born to the queen does not do Li Xian any good, under normal circumstances, to establish the prince of the country, the first choice is the son of the emperor and the queen, and the queen who did not give birth to a son back then took care of Li Zhong and made him the prince. Later, Wu Zetian became the queen, and Li Zhong was deposed and Li Hong was set up separately. Now to say that Li Xian was not born by Wu Zetian is nothing more than to say that he is not qualified to be the prince.

Mother has such a developed intelligence network in the harem, she should have known about these rumors a long time ago, but she has always ignored them.

Li Chen even felt that these rumors were let out by his mother.

Such rumors are not painful for the mother, if she was angry and angry, rumors like the harem should have disappeared a long time ago, where are so many bold little palace maids talking behind their backs?

Li Chen, who went to Qingning Palace, frowned and said angrily to his mother: "When I came, I heard someone talking nonsense, and I was very angry when I heard it, so I asked Ganlu to send them all to the court bureau. ”

Shangguan Wan'er, who was helping Wu Zetian beat his shoulders on the side, looked at Li Chen with some surprise when she heard this, and said, "What are they talking about, that they let the princess send them to the court?" ”

In Shangguan Wan'er's impression, Li Chen has a temper, and sometimes she will reward the people below for the first time, but she is generous to the people below among the nobles, and she has never heard that she will send people to the court bureau for the nonsense of others. Shangguan Wan'er came out of the court and knew how to hide filth and dirt inside.

When Li Chen heard Shangguan Wan'er's words, he smiled and said, "Speaking of which, there is also a palace maid who said that she is working under you." ”

Shangguan Wan'er was stunned.

Li Chen thought that she could play with the harem without having as many sections as her mother, so she adopted a method that seemed to be more rampage. She is not like Li Xian, Li Xian is the party to the rumors, after he became the prince, the relationship with his mother has become increasingly tense, and now that the rumors are out, he can neither come to ask his mother if I am your biological child, nor can he run to ask his father What kind of bad things did you have with Mrs. Han back then, how can anyone think that I am the son of Mrs. Korea?

Li Xian had known about these rumors for a long time, and he heard Shu Zhi say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been in the East Palace recently, and he was often in a bad mood and had a seizure of people at the bottom. Li Chen thought about it and felt that if she was the person concerned, she would probably be uneasy but unable to do anything.

But now Li Chen is not the party concerned, she is the mother's daughter, the prince's sister, as the saying goes, the palm of the hand is meat, and the back of the hand is also meat, don't let her feel distressed on both sides?

So Li Chen directly complained to her mother Wu Zetian, and she was indeed very unhappy about these rumors.

"Ah Niang, these palace maids are really too lawless, the second brother has always been respectful and filial to Ah Niang, and he is the prince, you have worked hard with several brothers over the years, which one will not be your heart? When those palace maids were picking flowers, they were actually saying that when A-Niang was pregnant with her second brother, why didn't she wait for childbirth in the harem to worship A-Weng. ”

When Wu Zetian heard this, he raised his hand, so that Shangguan Wan'er behind him didn't have to beat her shoulder.

Seeing this, Shangguan Wan'er stopped her movements and stood quietly aside.

Wu Zetian looked at Li Chen, "There is such a thing?" ”

Li Chen nodded, very righteous: "No, these palace maids are really bold and reckless, if they are not severely punished, will they see me and Sister Taiping in the future also accept us as our biological daughters?" Royal blood, how can they be allowed to slander at will? Saying that, she also sued Shangguan Wan'er, "There is a palace maid, when I want to punish her, she also moved Wan'er out." ”

Wu Zetian tilted his head and looked at Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly lowered her head and said softly, "Your Royal Highness, it should be just a few palace maids who have had a relationship with the maids in the maid's room. ”

Wu Zetian bowed slightly, looked at Li Chen, who was puffing up, pulled her over, and asked with a smile, "Are you very angry?" ”

Li Chen raised his eyes to look at his mother, looking very puzzled: "Shouldn't I be angry?" ”

Wu Zetian touched his little daughter's head with a smile, and said slowly: "Whether it is you or Taiping, it is all from your mother, and it will not change the facts just because others say two words." Yongchang, you should also grow up, gossip is not artificially forbidden, the more you ban, the more others think you have □□, otherwise what are you afraid of? ”

Li Chen disagreed with his mother's words, "I'm not afraid of gossip, if something is true, if someone really questions whether the second brother is from his mother, why don't he come to ask his mother or father in person, and chew the root of his tongue in private?" There are no rules, there is no circle, if there is no real evidence, guessing the prince's bloodline out of thin air is damned. I heard those palace maids talking in private, shouldn't they be punished? If it is not punished, maybe in the future, it will not only be said that the second brother was not born to his mother, but also that I am not my father's flesh and blood, so wouldn't Kunde, the concubine of A-Niang, be-! ”

When Wu Zetian heard this, his brows furrowed, and his voice sank, "Yongchang!" ”

Li Chen glanced at his mother aggrievedly, and lowered his head: "I didn't say anything wrong. ”

Wu Zetian glanced coldly at Shangguan Wan'er beside him, Shangguan Wan'er's expression was also indescribable, and she lowered her head with shame.

Wu Zetian stretched out his hand, pulled Li Chen over, and lowered his voice, "Yongchang, it's not that your mother wants to blame you, you are the princess of the Tang Dynasty, you should be measured in what you should do and say anything, the speaker has no intention of listening, and the person who listens intentionally is the right person to say, should you say the right words?" ”

Li Chen: "A-Niang also said that the speaker has no intention of listening, not to mention that the person who said it is still intentional, if it is believed to be true, I don't know how many incidents will occur." ”

Li Chen also knew in her heart that since this matter had been clearly put on the table by her, her mother would definitely deal with it. If her mother doesn't deal with it, is she waiting for her to stab this matter to her father Li Zhi and wait for her father to deal with it? Although his father's energy is not as good as before, if this matter really stabs him, no matter whether the rumors are true or not, his mother will also end up with a poor harem.

Sure enough, her mother glanced at her helplessly, and then instructed Shangguan Wan'er, "In the future, if anyone in the palace talks about the prince's origin, they will all be taken into the court, and if they don't repent, they will have their tongues pulled out to set an example!" ”
