Li Chen had nothing to do in the palace, and her mother went to Ganye Temple to recite scriptures and worship the Buddha, so she ran to her father's Hall of Eternal Life.

Wu Zetian went to Ganye Temple, and Li Zhi naturally had more political affairs to deal with. In the past, when Wu Zetian was there, he would arrange the folds in different categories, which were important and which were in urgent need of approval, and they were all neatly placed on the desk. Now that Wu Zetian is gone, this task naturally falls on the eunuchs beside Li Zhi, but eunuchs are always eunuchs, where can the judgment ability be compared with Wu Zetian, who has been in politics for many years?

That's simply not enough to lift shoes for Wu Zetian.

When Li Chen arrived at the Hall of Eternal Life, his father was sitting at the desk, frowning, rubbing his temples with one hand.

Li Chen walked in quietly, stood behind his father, and rubbed his temples with both hands, "Aye, but you have a headache?" ”

Li Zhi knew people when he heard the voice, so he didn't open his eyes, his frowning brows stretched slightly, and he said, "It's Yongchang." ”

"Hmm."

Over the years, Li Zhi's headache has not been completely better, in the past, Ming Chongyan still didn't know what home remedies could relieve his headache a little, and now Ming Chongyan has already driven the crane back to the west, Wu Zetian went to Ganye Temple again, Li Zhi had a headache, and there was no way to recuperate. Li Chen has massaged his father for so many years, and he can be regarded as a good hand.

She stood behind her father, rubbed her hand on his temples lightly, and said to her father with a smile: "Aye, I used some incense a few days ago, I heard that it has a calming effect, Yongchang feels good when he uses it, and he can sleep well, why don't you give it a try?" ”

The daughter also missed her father when she left the palace, which made Li Zhi feel very warm in his heart. Although he also understood that his headache could not be relieved by incense, it did not prevent him from being happy in his heart.

"Okay, I'll have someone get it with you when I get it."

Li Chen smiled slightly and did not speak again.

Li Zhi felt that his headache was better, so he raised his hand and asked Li Chen not to press it, "Okay, you come and sit down, I have something to ask you." ”

Li Chen felt that no matter what his father was, there was a small detail that he had done a great job for ten years. That is, in front of his family, he never called himself me, he always called himself me, with a sense of intimacy that only his family has.

Li Zhi: "I heard that the eldest princess of Linchuan's aunt has an eighty birthday, and you also went over to play?" ”

"Hmm." Li Chen sat beside his father and answered with big eyes.

Li Zhi: "Is it fun?" ”

"Hmm." Li Chen still bent his eyes and continued to answer.

Li Zhi: "...... Don't you have anything fun to share with your father except for his voice? ”

When Li Chen heard this, she finally couldn't help but laugh, she approached her father and held her father's arm, "Of course, Yongchang has never seen a folk singing opera, I went to see it that day, it was very lively, and the surrounding residents were watching the big drama in Zhoufu, but it was lively." ”

Li Zhi turned his head sideways and glanced at his little daughter, "What else?" ”

Li Chen blinked, "What else?" ”

Li Zhi: "......"

Li Chen looked at his father's helpless expression, and softened his tone, "And my aunt asked me to meet your cousins, I have seen them all." ”

Li Zhi tilted his head and looked at her.

Li Chen met his father's gaze and was very aggrieved: "Is Aya so anxious to drive Yongchang out of the palace?" ”

Li Zhi sighed, "Yongchang, you can't stay in the palace forever. "According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, a woman should marry when she is over fifteen. Li Chen is a little princess who has attracted the attention of the world, and her words and deeds represent the royal family.

When you reach the age when you should surrender, you have to surrender no matter what.

As a father, even if he is reluctant to keep her by his side for two years, he can only think about it secretly.

"What do you like? Whether it's you or Taiping, my father wants you to be happy all the time. If you don't have a clue, then your father will directly make decisions for you. ”

Let her go until now, it is already the emperor's greatest favor for his youngest daughter, and if she wants to follow her temperament, it will not work.

Li Chen raised his eyes and looked at his father, "Do I really want to surrender this year?" ”

Li Zhi met his daughter's gaze, and his heart was already soft and about to turn into a puddle of water. Soft-hearted, Li Zhi's face was still silent, and he said lightly: "At the latest next year, spring will begin, and you can't bargain anymore." ”

Li Chen: "......"

Li Zhi looked at his daughter's appearance with red lips, and felt that the headache that had only been slightly relieved became heavier again, he stood up and said to his daughter, "Walk with my father." ”

Li Chen obediently followed his father's side, thinking about what to say about Song Jing.

Li Zhi said: "You don't like the relatives on your mother's side or your father's relatives, so do you like this?" ”

"Yongchang likes those who have the ability."

Li Zhi turned his head sideways and looked at Li Chen.

Li Zhi paused and looked at her, "What does it mean to have the ability?" ”

"Whether it is my father's relatives or my mother's relatives, it is only my father and mother that have gained a firm foothold in Chang'an City, and there is nothing unusual. In the imperial examination next month, I will choose a horse among the jinshi in the imperial examination. ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he blew his beard and glared at his eyes, "Nonsense!" ”

"Why are you messing around?"

"Do you know how old the oldest person is and how old is the youngest?" Some of the people who participated in the imperial examination were already old, although there were also young people, but they were rare. Since the implementation of the imperial examination, once a year, the youngest Jinshi is also approaching the year of establishment. Now that the daughter has not yet reached fifteen years, she is to be descended to a man who is nearing the age of her establishment...... When Li Zhi thought about it, he felt that the treasure he had carefully pampered and raised had been ruined.

He absolutely could not agree!

Li Chen: "I didn't know before, but this year there will definitely be Jinshi who is the same age as me!" ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he glanced at his daughter gloomily.

Li Chen looked at her father without blinking, she was not a person who didn't have long eyes, she also knew why her father said she was messing around, but she was still gambling, betting on how much her father could spoil his daughter.

Li Chen bit his lip and said to his father, "When I went to celebrate my birthday with Mrs. Zhou, I met Ji Tong's cousin's friend. He's going to take the imperial examination this year, and I think he'll be able to do it. ”

Li Zhi: "Oh? So what is his origin? ”

Li Chen did not hide it, "His name is Song Jing, and I heard that his ancestor has been an official since the time of the Wei State, but although he was born as an official eunuch, his influence is not great. If it is placed in a small place, it is considered a famous family, and if it is placed in a place like Chang'an, which is full of nobles, it can probably only be regarded as a cold family. ”

Li Zhi turned his head slowly, his face expressionless, "Song Jing? There were so many people who went to congratulate Mrs. Zhou on her birthday that day, why did you only notice him? ”

Li Chen lowered his head and replied shyly: "He is the best-looking." ”

Li Zhi: "......"

Li Zhi looked at his daughter in front of him, lowered his head, and the smile on his face was a little girlish and shy. When had he ever seen his daughter look like this? Thinking about it, Song Jing should be a talent, probably no worse than Xue Shao.

The emperor sighed in his heart, but he was not soft-hearted.

He grimaced, "I don't agree." ”

Li Chen raised his eyes and looked stunned, "Didn't you say that as long as Yongchang likes it, Aya and A-Niang will find it for me?" ”

Li Zhi: "People can't look good, although he is good-looking, how do you know what he is like?" Besides, what kind of origin are you, what kind of origin is he? The princess's surrender is a major event of the country, and you can't mess around. ”

Even the two princesses born by Concubine Xiao Shu that day were driven to live in the court by Wu Zetian, and many years later, the crown prince Li Hong interceded to let them surrender, and the horses that Wu Zetian chose for them were all nobles in the court, and after the wedding, the two horses were promoted to assassins.

But what about Song Jing that Li Chen has a crush on?

Nothing, even if he wants his daughter to be beautiful and beautiful, and let her concubine become a knight, he must have a name. But Song Jing has no ancestral shadow and no fame, even if he is a scholar and a first, he can't make Song Jing an official, and he can't do it too obviously.

Li Chen frowned: "If it's useless to look good, why do you put your appearance in the first place?" And he's a very nice person! ”

Li Zhi looked at Li Chen, feeling quite uncomfortable.

Isn't it said that no one is as good as his father, and no one is good enough?

How did it change in a blink of an eye?

Li Chen said: "Aya still remembers when Yongchang was nine years old when he went to Buxian Garden in the spring, but encountered heavy rain? ”

Li Zhi: "Of course I remember, it rained a lot in Chang'an that spring, and the imperial city was flooded inside and outside, and your mother and I were worried that you were in Buxian Garden, so we sent the Praetorian Guards to Buxian Garden overnight to take you back to the palace. ”

Li Chen raised his head, looked at his father, and said, "Aye, the crops were planted in the spring of that year, and many people's crops were flooded. At that time, Song Jing was in Meizhuang next to Buxian Garden, there was a small river in Meizhuang, the river was rising, all the crops in Meizhuang were flooded, his uncle was not there, and the steward of the village asked if he dug a hole in the river section to release water downstream? Song Jing said that the downstream is also the crops of the people, how can they harm others to protect themselves? ”

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Chen.

Li Chen met his father's gaze and said with a smile: "Later, I heard that that year, all the tenant rents of all the people in Meizhuang were exempted. ”

At a young age, he already has such a heart. Perhaps, it is really a rare talent.

However, if you want to Shang his daughter, it still can't work.

Li Chen: "Aya said, use Yongchang to seriously think about what kind of horse you want, I have already thought about it." I want Song Jing like this. ”

Li Zhi's face sank, "Song Jing can't do it, think again!" ”
