It is difficult for Li Chen to imagine what the scene of the prince's brother Li Hong and his mother calling out is like.

Her crown prince's brother, Li Hong, is a gentle and kind-hearted person, who treats his parents deferfully and politely, loves his brothers and sisters very much, and treats ministers with good manners. Li Chen felt that in the entire Taiji Palace, there was really no second person who could talk better than her prince brother.

However, now the well-talkative prince brother is unhappy with his mother, why?

Li Chen said that there was no mother in this matter, and it was a long story.

In February, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian went to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and left the crown prince Li Hong in Chang'an to supervise the country. Li Hong's health has not been very good, and soon after Li Zhi and Wu Zetian left Chang'an, Li Hong's condition worsened again, and he had to recuperate in the East Palace. Li Hong, who was recuperating, couldn't worry about state affairs, and was bored, so he had to go out for a hang and see how Taiping Amei was doing, but did he miss his parents and Yongchang who were far away in the Eastern Capital? Let's see if the second brother, the third brother, and the fourth brother have studied hard? And so on, after these things were cared for, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't know how, and he went to the court.

It doesn't matter if you arrive at the court, what is related is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw Princess Yiyang and Princess Xuancheng in the court.

Who are Princess Yiyang and Princess Xuancheng?

Princess Yiyang and Princess Xuancheng were the two daughters born to Li Zhi and Concubine Xiao Shu, Wu Zetian and Concubine Xiao Shufei fought that year, and finally Concubine Xiao Shutian was overthrown by Wu Zetian. The mother is guilty, so the daughter can only rush to the court to work as a coolie. But Princess Yiyang and Princess Xuancheng were different from the female dependents of ordinary criminal families after all, and no one dared to use them, so they had to be locked in a small room.

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard that the two stupid-looking women were his half-sisters, he was shocked, and after being surprised, he felt pity. He has been Confucian since he was a child, and he is benevolent by nature, although he has also heard about his mother and Concubine Xiao Shu in the past, but Concubine Xiao is dead after all. Princess Yiyang and Princess Xuancheng were locked up in the court, and no one had ever cared about them over the years, Li Hong felt that if he hadn't inadvertently entered the court that day and saw these two princesses, he wouldn't have remembered that he had two sisters.

Women in the Tang Dynasty generally got married around fifteen. At this time, Princess Yiyang and Princess Xuancheng were already past the age of marriage.

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince learned of this, he was both sad and sympathetic, so he sent a letter to his parents and asked them to find a suitable family for the two sisters and marry them.

Li Chen felt that his mother should be very angry when she saw the prince's elder brother's superiority, but his father was very happy, so his mother had to put on an unfathomable calm look.

's father is an amorous person, and probably over the years, he will secretly think of Concubine Xiao Shu in his heart. Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu could have been spared death, but it was only because he was soft-hearted at an inappropriate time that he led to the tragic death of Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu. Thinking of the guilt in the heart of the queen, thinking of Xiao Shufei is even more guilty, he and Xiao Shufei not only have two daughters, but also a son Li Sujie, when he doted on Xiao Shufei, Li Sujie was named King Yong, and later changed the title to King Xun, but later Xiao Shufei died, and King Xun became the king of Panyang, cut most of the closed households, and was not allowed to be hired for life.

The prince's elder brother's superiority reminded his father of Concubine Xiao Shu and their children. Li Sujie probably won't see each other in his life, and his two daughters are now locked up in the court, looking at the sympathy revealed in the prince's words, the two daughters are not doing well.

Li Chen feels that the loveliest thing about his father's life is that he is easy to be soft-hearted, and the most terrible thing is that he is easy to be soft-hearted.

When Li Zhi was practicing calligraphy with Li Chen, he looked at Wu Zetian, who was also practicing calligraphy next to him, and said: "The prince is benevolent, and I am very relieved to think of his two sisters who are locked up in the court. Mei Niang, look at this matter, what should you do? ”

Li Chen blinked, stopped the pen in his hand, and looked at his mother.

When she practiced calligraphy, she liked to be accompanied by her parents. My mother loves calligraphy, and no one dares to call her the first. Although my father was not as obsessed with calligraphy as my mother, my father's calligraphy was also very good, and his writing was majestic. The key is that the practice of calligraphy is boring, the father who loves music will also show his hand, a piano in his hand, the music is fluttering, if the mother has leisure and leisure, she will dance with the music, of course, this kind of opportunity is rare, so far, Li Chen has only seen his mother's dancing once. The only thought at that time was, no wonder my mother has always been infatuated with my father, my father is the king of a country, but he is also a literary and artistic youth, no, now he should be middle-aged in literature and art. In state affairs, his mother can share his worries and solve problems, and in terms of hobbies, his mother can also vote for him.

At this time, Wu Zetian, who heard Li Zhi's culture, was stunned, and the ink on the brush dripped on the white paper. The flawless paper was stained with black spots, and she frowned slightly, then raised her head.

She glanced at Li Chen, her daughter was blinking at her, she looked as usual, and said to her daughter: "Yongchang, don't be distracted when practicing calligraphy." ”

When Li Chen heard this, he hurriedly lowered his head to write, but his ears were propped up.

Wu Zetian's tone was as usual, and he said softly to Li Zhi: "In this matter, it is also the negligence of the concubine. Although the two princesses are now past the age of marriage, they are the princesses of the heavenly family, no matter which one they descend from, it is their blessing, and the concubine will choose a suitable husband for them. ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he bowed slightly.

Li Chen couldn't help but peek at his parents again, but he happened to be caught by his mother, so Li Chen had to look up and smile at her flatteringly.

Wu Zetian was not made to laugh by her, nor was he angry.

Seeing this, Li Zhi smiled and touched Li Chen's head, and took down the pen in her hand, "If you don't want to practice calligraphy, you can't practice." Now at this time, your brothers are riding in the horse field, let's go and have a look. As he spoke, he looked at Wu Zetian with a bit of inquiry in his tone, "Mei Niang?" ”

Wu Zetian nodded with a smile, "It's all up to the Lord." ”

When Li Zhi arrived at the riding ground with his wife and daughter, Li Xian and Li Dan were there, accompanied by some guards, Xue Shao and Li Jingye.

Li Jingye is now a fourteen-year-old boy, wearing a riding suit and carrying a quiver behind him. Li Xian and Li Dan were playing on the field and didn't know that their parents were coming, Xue Shao and Li Jingye saw the saint and His Royal Highness coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow down.

Li Zhi waved his hand and said softly, "No need to be polite. ”

Li Chen's gaze fell on the two teenagers in front of him, both of them were wearing riding clothes, Xue Shao was only ten years old this year, although he was quite tall, but his body was still the body of a teenager. At this time, Li Jingye was already fourteen, and although he was a little thin, he was already an adult. The British Duke Li Ji died in December last year, and Li Jingye has now inherited the title of Duke of England, and he entered the palace after taking off his clothes.

I don't know what's going on, but recently there has been an accident at the home of the people I am familiar with, and it seems that they have made an appointment to get together. For example, Xue Shao, and Li Jingye. One of the two teenagers has not been removed from the service, and the other has only been removed for two months, so at this time, both of them have a bitter face and a deep hatred. However, being beautiful is capricious, even if he has a bitter and hateful face, he is still a beautiful boy. But Li Chen felt that Li Jingye was slightly better at this time, although Li Jingye did not have the usual warm smile on his face, but his expression was steady and his demeanor had the calmness of a child of the family, and he did not lose the bearing of a meritorious nobleman.

Li Chen thinks too, since he is the heir of the British Duke Li Ji, his bearing is naturally not much worse.

These two teenagers, one is the son of Princess Chengyang, and the other is the heir of Li Ji, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian are usually concerned, so they examined their homework. At the end, Wu Zetian remembered that Li Chen had said that Li Jingye had a sister-in-law, so he smiled and said to the young man: "I heard Yongchang say that there is a little sister in the British Mansion who is beautiful and cute, when will I let her take her into the palace to play with Yongchang." ”

Li Jingye was stunned, his eyes looked at Li Chen, and Li Chen bent his big eyes to meet his gaze.

The corners of the young man's mouth lifted slightly, and then he replied respectfully, "Thank you, Your Highness the Queen." ”

At this time, Li Xian and Li Dan had already come down from the field to meet their parents.

When Li Xian saw Li Chen, he ran over and rubbed her hair with a smile, "Sister, do you want the third brother to ride a horse with you?" ”

Li Chen frowned and slapped Li Xian's hand, "Don't be accompanied by the third brother." ”

"If you don't let me accompany you, who do you want to accompany?" Li Xian's eyes widened, and he said to Li Chen: "Father didn't change into a riding costume, your fourth brother just lost to me!" ”

When the emperor next to him heard this, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, he had just finished examining Xue Shao and Li Jingye's homework, and he could see that the two teenagers had worked much harder than his third son, and his heart was quite unpleasant. At this time, when I heard Li Xian say that he had won Li Dan on horseback just now, he had a whim to take the test for the riding and archery of a few teenagers in the school.

Who knows that it's better than it's better, and you can see the gap when you compare.

Four teenagers, archery is Li Jingye's first, Li Xian rode a horse and narrowly won the first. And the two younger Li Dan and Xue Shao, it is normal for them to be a little weaker in this regard.

Li Zhi looked at Li Jingye, who was turning over and dismounting, and sighed and said, "It is worthy of being after Li Ji." ”

Wen Taowu is a rare outstanding among the young generation of the noble family in Chang'an. The former British Gong Li Ji taught well, and now Li Jingye is young, but he is enough to set up a household.

Li Chen looked up at his father and said with a smile: "But his archery is definitely not as good as the second brother, and his homework is definitely not as good as the prince's brother." ”

Wu Zetian glanced at Li Chen with a smile, and asked, "What do you know, you little ghost elf?" ”

"How don't you know?" Li Chen's eyes widened, and he snapped his fingers and said, "The second brother is good at archery, the teachers in the palace have said it, and the second brother is a good hand at piercing Yang in a hundred steps." The prince's brother is erudite and benevolent, and the ministers in the East Palace praise the prince's brother, I went to the East Palace to play a few days ago, and I heard someone say that the prince's brother is a role model for the noble children in Chang'an City! ”

When Wu Zetian heard this, he inevitably remembered Princess Yiyang and Princess Xuancheng who could show the prince's benevolence, but he felt that now that the prince has grown up and has an opinion, he knows more and more how to block his mother's heart.
