8.008: Mrs. Wei (4)
Three days later, Li Zhi took the Manchu Dynasty civil and military and harem concubines, and traveled east to Mount Tai, and walked for two months to the foot of Mount Tai.
This is the first time Li Chen has stepped out of the palace gate, although he can't run around with her on the road, but he can see it, so along the way, Li Chen is like a bird out of the cage, and her laughter can be heard everywhere.
Li Zhi loves her daughter, especially her youngest daughter.
The little princess was bored in the car and wanted to go out to breathe, Li Zhi was in front of a team of tens of thousands of people, and also took his daughter to ride his favorite horse and walked slowly in front.
Li Chen poked his head out and looked back, there were tens of thousands of people, there were not only civil and military officials, concubines and concubines accompanying the harem, but also envoys and high-ranking officials from various vassal countries, horses, cattle and alpacas, and all kinds of colored flags, which had stretched for hundreds of miles.
At this point, Li Chen felt the great national prestige of the Tang Dynasty for the first time.
In the past, I had only heard of the grandeur of the Zen ceremony, but now I have seen it with my own eyes, and my heart is shocked.
Li Chen sat back, looked up at her father, smiled and bent a pair of big eyes, and sincerely gave a high hat to Li Zhi: "I think my father is so good." ”
When Li Zhi heard this, he reached out and pinched her little face, and there was pride and pride in his smiling eyebrows.
Li Chen looked at the surrounding scenery in a good mood, and was still holding a kumquat in her hand, which was stuffed to her by Sister Taiping in the car just now. Taiping also wanted to come out to ride a horse, but the third brother Li Xian brought a lot of crickets and was playing with her in the car.
Li Chen peeled off the orange peel and broke a petal of orange and stuffed it into Li Zhi's mouth.
"Aye, is it sweet?"
Li Zhi held the orange in his mouth, the orange was not sweet, and it was very sour, from the tip of his tongue to the stomach, he wanted to tremble, but he smiled: "Well, it's very sweet." ”
Li Chen was afraid of sourness, and when she heard Li Zhi say sweet, she also ate a petal, and the sour taste made her eyes and nose wrinkle together.
Seeing this, Li Zhi laughed loudly.
The emperor's laughter reached the queen's car, and the corners of Wu Zetian's mouth, who was slightly closed and closed, lowered slightly.
Now it's like this, it's good, and she's very satisfied.
Li Zhi trusted her, and after the abolition of the turmoil passed, she and Li Zhi were in the court, and Li Zhi also did what he said, and without her company, he would no longer meet with ministers above the fifth rank alone.
Prince Hong has now also begun to participate in political affairs, and the appearance of several other princes in the Chongxian Pavilion also made her very satisfied.
The two daughters are innocent and lively, in comparison, although Yongchang is quieter, it is difficult to hide her intelligence, and she is even more favored by her father.
If you really say that you are not satisfied, then the only thing that makes Wu Zetian dissatisfied now is the wife of Wei in the palace, Helan.
Thinking of the day she went to Lanting Courtyard, the lady of Wei Guo didn't know how thick the sky was, and the corners of Wu Zetian's mouth hooked up a sneer.
Ignorant children dare to show their teeth and claws in front of her.
At this time, Mrs. Wei Guo, who was in the Taiji Palace in Chang'an, was supporting the plum blossoms on the plum tree of the palace maid, holding a few branches in her arms, and suddenly somehow the plum blossoms were sprinkled on the ground. She was stunned for a moment, and wanted to pick up the plum blossoms, but her fingertips touched the petals, and suddenly a penetrating chill passed from her fingertips to the depths of her heart, making her shiver.
Feng Zen is a national festival and a major event.
So in the days when Wu Zetian and Li Zhi didn't have much time to take care of their children, when they were sealed Zen, there were assassins everywhere, and Li Chen heard her second brother Li Xian say that their two uncles were also here.
"Do we still have two uncles?" Li Chen blinked and looked at Li Xian.
Li Xian nodded, "Of course, we have two uncles, but those two uncles are both local assassins, so you have never seen them." It just so happened that now that they were in Zen, they came from the place, and then they would follow us back to Chang'an. ”
Taiping, who was fighting with Li Xian with a wooden sword, turned around and said, "But A-Niang doesn't like them, and my grandmother doesn't like them either." ”
Before the words fell, Li Xian's shoulder had already been hit.
"Oh, third brother!" Taiping turned around in annoyance.
Li Xian smiled, "Taiping, the third brother is teaching you to learn the sword, if you don't concentrate, you will naturally be punished." ”
Li Chen: "......"
Turning her head to continue to look at her second brother, "What kind of people are the two uncles?" ”
Li Xian pinched the tip of her nose, "Want to know?" ”
Li Chen nodded.
Seeing Li Chen's curious look, Li Xian laughed, "Don't sue you!" ”
Li Chen was teased by someone, so he was furious, and he raised his little meat claws and wanted to hit someone, but he was caught by Li Xian in mid-air, and then he couldn't help but say that he would take her away, "Sister, don't be angry." Didn't you say you wanted to taste the tea last time? In the temple, there must be tea, and the second brother will take you to taste it. ”
Li Chen gave up.
Li Xian is only two years younger than the crown prince Li Hong, he is eleven years old at this time, Li Hong has a gentle and kind personality, and he is only willing to accept the good side of everything, but Li Xian is different, he has a cheerful personality and is more active, he grew up in the court since he was a child, and he naturally understands many things more deeply than others.
The two uncles he mentioned were just Wu Zetian's two cousins, Wu Huailiang and Wu Huaiyun.
His mother had a hard time with his grandmother before entering the palace, when his grandfather died of illness, his grandmother and mother had no one to rely on, and he had suffered a lot in the martial family. At a family banquet, Yang saw the children of the Wu family, remembered the days when he and his daughter were treated in the Wu family, and said proudly at the moment that your glory and wealth today are all due to our mother and daughter, how do you feel now, do you regret treating us wrongly?
Who knew that the children of the martial arts family did not know how to lift, and they actually said that the reason why they have today's glory and wealth is because they are meritorious heroes, not given by the queen.
The Yang clan was furious when he heard this, and entered the palace and counted them down with Wu Zetian one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
Wu Zetian originally didn't have a good impression of these brothers in her mother's family, and when she heard Yang's complaint, she was also furious, and turned around and told Li Zhi that she wanted to demote these people from her mother's family to a place. Throughout the ages, the phenomenon of chaotic politics among relatives has emerged one after another, and Wu Zetian's request not only allowed her to clean up the group of brothers who didn't know what to do in her mother's family, but also won a good name for herself, which is also killing two birds with one stone.
Li Xian felt that he knew this kind of thing, his sister was the princess of the Tang Dynasty, innocent and cute, and he was afraid that others would love her on the tip of his heart in the future, so why should he tell her about these struggles.
Li Xian took Li Chen to the temple at the foot of Mount Tai, and the host thought that the prince and the princess were coming, but the prince smiled like a spring breeze and said to the host: "My sister and I came to ask the master for a cup of tea." ”
The master thought he had misheard, and looked at his brother and sister standing in front of him.
Li Xian patiently repeated: "Master, can Ah Mei and I ask you for a cup of tea?" ”
The master suddenly came back to his senses, "Yes, yes, of course." ”
After finishing speaking, he quickly asked the monk to bring two cups of tea.
Li Xian took the tea, leaned to the tip of his nose and sniffed it slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he squatted down and looked at Li Chen at eye level, "Sister, do you really want to taste it?" ”
Li Chen looked at the master, and then at her second brother, to be honest, these days, tea is not so easy to find, at least there is no tea in Chang'an. Now it is rare to ask for a cup of tea in the temple at the foot of Mount Tai, so naturally I want to taste it.
So Li Chen nodded, "Yes!" ”
Li Xian brought the cup to her lips and smelled a strange smell before she could drink it, but before she could think about why it smelled so strange, she took a sip, and then "poof".
All the tea in Li Chen's mouth squirted out, spraying Li Xian's face.
Li Xian: "......"
Li Chen didn't care about her second brother's colorful face, stuck out her tongue, and the expression on her face was about to cry: "It's so unpleasant!" She finally knew why the expressions of the master and the monk were so strange just now, and she swore that she had never drunk such a bad tea in her past life and in her life! There are all kinds of strange smells, it is really sweet and sour, and all the flavors are mixed in it, which simply poisons her taste buds.
The monk serving the tea and the master: "......"
Li Xian resigned himself to wiping the tea off his face, in addition to thanking the master and the monk for the tea, he also had to apologize to others that Ah Mei was not used to drinking this kind of tea, and it was rude, and then he hugged Ah Mei who was crying and fled in the desert.
Li Chen, who was held by Li Xian, was very angry: "I have never drunk such a bad tea!" ”
Li Xian's face was expressionless: "There is no tea in Chang'an, of course you haven't drunk it!" ”
Li Chen was a little stupid, "Second brother, you don't understand at all, tea is a good thing." ”
Li Xian didn't know where she heard the nonsense that tea was a good thing, so he simply ignored her.
Li Chen was immersed in the tea here that was so unpalatable, and she didn't care about Li Xian, after a long time, she suddenly clenched her little fist and said solemnly: "I have decided!" ”
Li Xian was inexplicable, "What did you decide?" ”
"I want to plant tea trees after I go back to Chang'an!" As he spoke, Li Chen let go of the hand holding him and ran forward quickly, "Father will definitely agree, I'll go to him now!" ”
When Li Xian heard this, he chased after him with a smile, "Sister, don't make trouble." ”
