Li Zhi smiled, his tone was not happy or unhappy, and Xu Sheng said: "The queen has lived in the palace for a long time, and she doesn't know that her nephew is running amok outside, what is the crime?" ”

Wu Zetian's heart trembled slightly, his face remained silent, and he said: "Lord, they are all descendants of the Wu family, thanks to the grace of the Lord, posthumously named Mei Niang's father as the Duke of Zhou, and made the descendants of the Wu family inherit the title." Now the children of the martial arts family have no worries about food and clothing, and they don't think about being loyal to the Lord, but they are rampant outside with the emperor's grace. These are all Mei Niang's faults of being too relieved of them and neglecting to discipline. ”

When Li Zhi heard this, his face was very pleasant, "Since the queen thinks that they are negligent in discipline, what should I do?" ”

When Li Chen saw this kind of battle, he vaguely felt that something was wrong. In front of his children and Wu Zetian, his father has always been unimposing, and unless there are outsiders, he will call his mother's maiden name, Mei Niang.

Wu Zetian can be ruthless to anyone when necessary, Li Chen only heard his mother say that he would remove Wu Chenghe's current official position, and she was not strict with the people of her mother's family, and she should also be punished, and invited Li Zhi to go to Ganye Temple to recite scriptures and worship Buddha for three months.

Seeing this, Li Zhi was satisfied, and sighed and said: "Mei Niang, you and I have been married for many years, how can I not know your character." Since Wu Chengsi was recalled by you from Lingnan, how can I remove him from his title and official position because of his momentary mistake, and how can you be implicated by him? In this way, although Wu Chenghei is not strict with his brother, Wu Shuheng does not know the true identity of Yongchang, although he is overbearing, but it is an unintentional fault to be rude to the royal princess, so he punished Wu Shuheng for thinking about it behind closed doors at home for half a year, and Wu Chenghei was confiscated for three years. As for the queen, although one person does things and one person is responsible, the mistakes they made should not have affected you, but after you are a country, you are an example for thousands of women in the Tang Dynasty, and you are the elder of Wu Chenghei and Wu Shuheng, you can't escape the blame, and go to Ganye Temple to recite the scriptures and worship the Buddha for three months is too long, so change it to a month. ”

Wu Zetian lowered his head, "Thank you, Lord." ”

Li Chen and Taiping glanced at each other and did not say anything more. They were pampered and raised from a young age, but at the center of political power, they know better than anyone that even between father and mother there is an unspeakable struggle. Although his mother recalled Wu Chenghei from Lingnan, Wu Chenghe's official residence Sanpin had no real power, and he saw that his father was still very defensive of his relatives.

Taiping couldn't get used to Wu Shuheng's bullying appearance that day, but ...... She frowned slightly, a little annoyed that Shi Cai was so reckless in telling Wu Shuheng about offending Li Chen. Mother is going to Ganye Temple to recite scriptures and worship Buddha for a month, and this matter will definitely cause an uproar.

Li Zhi said a few more words to his two daughters in Qingning Palace, and then left Qingning Palace. As soon as his father left, Li Chen folded his hands on his mother's lap and pillowed his head, "Auntie......"

Wu Zetian lowered his head and looked at his youngest daughter, who had been living in Princess Taiping's mansion for nearly a month.

Li Chen raised his big black and white eyes, with twelve points of apology on his face, "Yongchang didn't mean it, and Sister Ah didn't mean it." ”

Her words had no beginning or end, but Wu Zetian understood.

To say that Wu Zetian is not angry in his heart is a lie. The truth of Ming Chongyan's death has not yet become clear, and several nephews of the Wu family have come out to drag their feet, it is really not enough to succeed and more than to lose, even if she has the heart to cultivate, they seem to be just a lump of mud that cannot be supported, Wu Zetian is angry in his heart.

Taiping also squatted down next to him, looking up at Wu Zetian, "Ah Niang, in the past, my grandmother was still here, and Taiping often went to the Zhou State Mansion, and my grandmother loved both Taiping and Ah Mei very much." It's just that...... Today's martial cousin is really too disagreeable, and letting his brother go like this will only damage his mother's reputation. Taiping is reckless, but he doesn't want to burden his mother and make his father blame. ”

When Wu Zetian heard this, he glanced at Taiping coldly, then looked down at his little daughter, reached out and patted her shoulder gently, "I don't blame you." ”

Li Chen got his mother's understanding, and he didn't forget to make an inch, "I shouldn't blame my sister, everything started because Yongchang went to the British mansion privately because of Yongchang's willfulness." “

Wu Zetian raised his eyes, glanced at Taiping, and said with a smile: "I don't blame Taiping." ”

When Taiping was seen by his mother, his heart trembled a little. She is not like Li Chen, Li Chen is a young daughter, so whether it is a father or a mother, it seems that she loves Ah Mei more than her, Taiping has been learning to deal with various things with her mother since she began to be sensible, her mother is by no means a soft-hearted person, she is worried that she will be reckless for a while, which will make her mother dissatisfied with her.

"Mother......" Taiping's voice trembled slightly.

Wu Zetian said: "You are just for Yongchang, your sisterhood is deep, and my mother will only feel relieved in her heart." It's just peaceful, act in the future, don't be so reckless. ”

Although she now has the intention to cultivate power, but Li Zhi seems to have discovered something, and now the restrictions on her are becoming more and more, in the past, every time she retreated to advance, she would be able to succeed, but this time Li Zhi actually pushed the boat down the river, she said to go to Ganye Temple to chant the scriptures and worship the Buddha, and he actually really let her go to the scriptures and worship the Buddha! Li Zhi's move couldn't help but make Wu Zetian feel frightened, and while she was frightened, she would be more or less angry with Taiping.

If you really think that Wu Chengsi and others are excessive, you can tell your mother in private, why do you have to sue in front of your father?

Even if Wu Zetian crawled through various struggles all the way, his heart was extremely strong, and at this time, he also had a bit of a bad feeling, and he would inevitably get angry. It's just that no matter what she feels in her heart, she has always been loving and tolerant in front of her two daughters.

Li Chen has always disliked the people of the martial family, and at this time, he can press the dissatisfaction in his heart, Taiping has always gotten along well with the cousins of the martial family, but he took the initiative to stand up for his sister...... Wu Zetian glanced at Taiping and smiled slightly: "It's just Taiping, you miss your sister and your father, but aren't you afraid of chilling your mother's heart?" ”

Taiping's eyelids jumped, and he quickly knelt down, "Mother." ”

Li Chen's heart trembled slightly, "Auntie! ”

Wu Zetian smiled very softly, and said with a smile: "Where did you two sisters go, your faces turned pale. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, mothers, always regardless of whether their children can understand her painstaking efforts, will think about their children wholeheartedly. ”

Taiping still knelt motionless.

Seeing this, Wu Zetian collected the smile on his face, and said lightly: "Taiping, what are you still doing on your knees, you can't get up yet." ”

Taiping stood up and looked at Li Chen, who had obvious worry in his eyes. Taiping smiled at her comfortingly, and then said, "Taiping is willing to accompany my mother to Ganye Temple." ”

Li Chen said, "I'll go too." ”

Wu Zetian was amused, "Don't make trouble, do you think that Ganye Temple is something you want to go to when you say you want to go?" ”

Li Chen and Taiping glanced at each other, and then did not say anything.

Wu Zetian was so shocked by Li Zhi's unexpected behavior today that she was in no mood to talk to her two daughters again, so in less than a stick of incense, she sent her two daughters away.

Because the palace gate was about to close, Taiping and Li Chen hurriedly said a few words, and they were about to leave the palace.

"Sister." Li Chen stretched out his hand and pulled Taiping's wide sleeves, his face was full of apologies, "It's all because of Yongchang that you were blamed by A-Niang." ”

Taiping raised his hand and pinched Li Chen's face, and said with a smile: "Whether it's father or mother, they all have a headache because of your surrender." Wu Shuheng's affairs should not be opened up by you, otherwise it will make my mother think that you are an excuse for not wanting to descend to the martial arts cousin. It's that I didn't figure it out for a while, and I chose the wrong time, and I don't blame you. ”

Li Chen lowered his eyes, feeling very uncomfortable. Her affairs should not be caused by the Taiping.

Taiping smiled: "Okay, don't frown." ”

"But I'm worried—"

"Don't worry, I'm already out and I'll be fine."

Li Chen shook his head slightly, "Sister, you don't understand." ”

Taiping snorted and laughed, "What's this, my mother also understands in my heart what the cousins of the martial arts family are doing outside, and if I don't fix them as soon as possible, they don't know what kind of trouble they will cause to my mother later." I was reckless and upset my mother, but it wasn't necessarily wrong. ”

Li Chen saw that Taiping said this, and a smile barely appeared on his face.

Taiping said: "Don't think about it, the palace gate is about to close, and I have to go." ”

Li Chen nodded silently and watched Taiping's guard of honor leave. Back in Fengyang Pavilion, the gray parrot that had not seen its owner for a long time ran out, and seeing Li Chen leaning against the windowsill and ignoring it, the gray parrot said a good word with a very good eye, "Wishing you prosperity." ”

Li Chen was not amused as he was in the past, and he didn't even look at it.

The gray parrot tilted its head, looked at its master for a long time, weighed it, and then came to Li Chen's hand, and its head was very condescending to her arm.

Li Chen reluctantly gave it a look, and brought a few nuts to it, "You're good, it's enough to eat and drink every day." ”

Birds and beasts don't understand human nature, and they are happy to pick up nuts with their heads down.

This month, Wu Zetian really went to Ganye Temple to recite the scriptures and worship the Buddha.

Since the crown prince Li Xian became the prince, there has not been a day when he has not been troubled, especially before Ming Chongyan, the thorn in his eye, is not dead, when he thinks of his mother and Ming Chongyan, he feels that there are thousands of cat paws scratching him, making him uneasy.

Finally, Ming Chongyan died, and his mother wanted to find out Chongyan's death thoroughly, which made a lot of noise.

As a thorn in the flesh of Ming Chongyan's eyes, as soon as Ming Chongyan died, it was obvious that the prince Li Xian would benefit the most. Li Xian also understands this truth, so after the murder of Ming Chongyan, he knows more than ever that he must be a man with his tail between his legs, and he does not argue too much with his mother in political affairs.

And now, my mother actually went to Ganye Temple.

Or a whole month!

Li Xian felt that he had gotten some information from it.

Mother and father have been two saints for more than ten years, and my father has never dismissed my mother alone for such a long time, not to mention that my father's body is not as strong as before.

That means that something must have happened between the father and the mother, and the father asked the mother to go to the Ganye Temple for a month. The time is not too long, but it is not a trivial matter to leave the palace for no reason after a country and go to Ganye Temple.

Perhaps the mother's position in the father's heart is not as stable as before.

Thinking about it like this, Li Xian felt that his whole person was in good spirits. I was in good spirits, so I was in the mood to go hunting.

The crown prince Li Xian ran to the suburbs to hunt with a team of light horses, accompanied by Li Jingye. Li Chen learned about this in Fengyang Pavilion and couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.

The mother only went to Ganye Temple on the front foot, and the second brother went hunting, was it too forgetful and taken lightly?
