Li Chen and Taiping went to ask their mother to say goodbye, and they were listening to their mother and Li Chun beside them talk about being candidates for Princess Yiyang and Princess Xuancheng.

Li Chen was curious, so he couldn't help but ask: "Auntie, who are the horses you want to pick for your two sisters?" ”

Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows, "Yongchang wants to know?" ”

Li Chen nodded, bending his big eyes, "The palace hasn't been lively for a long time, A-Niang set the two sisters' horses earlier, then they are going to fall." Yongchang has never seen the princess descend. ”

Taiping came over, "Of course, the two of them can't compare to Aunt Chengyang if they want to fall." ”

Li Chen looked at Taiping.

"If it weren't for the prince's brother seeing them in the court, he would have softened for a while, maybe he would have to spend a long time in the court. Now it's good to choose a colt for them, do you still expect pomp? "Taiping doesn't have a good impression of Princess Yiyang and Princess Xuancheng, especially Princess Xuancheng, she has an indescribable dislike in her heart when she sees it.

Li Chen thought about it, and this is also the truth.

In the harem, the mother's low background has already determined the child's birth status. Princess Yiyang and Princess Xuancheng can be released from the court, which is already very good.

The concubines selected by Wu Zetian for Princess Yiyang and Princess Xuancheng are all Li Zhi's personal guards, and they are from official eunuchs, although they cannot be compared with the former princesses of Chengyang and Xincheng princesses in terms of hardware conditions, but in terms of family background, it is already reasonable. What's more, Wu Zetian also told Li Zhi that when the two princesses and the concubine were married, the two concubines would be promoted to assassination.

Li Chen looked at his mother who was talking to Liu Chun, her mother was sitting on the floor, her long skirt was winding down the edge, she was already in her forties, but she looked like she was only in her early thirties, her words and deeds were elegant and dignified, revealing the unique charm of a mature woman, but the faintly heroic eyebrows always inadvertently made people see the fierce color.

Li Chen thought that the prince's brother Shangshu mentioned the marriage of the two princesses really made his mother unhappy, but his mother could always put aside the psychological unhappiness and deal with the problems she faced properly. Now that the mother has already thought about the candidate for the concubine, and also thought about the promotion of the concubine after their wedding, so far, there is nothing to tell the truth about Princess Yiyang and Princess Xuancheng.

Taiping sat down beside Li Chen, supported his face with his hands, and said, "Next year, when the crown prince and brother want to accept the crown princess, it will be really lively!" ”

Li Chen nodded and asked his mother, "A-Niang, what kind of person is the sister of the Pei family?" ”

Wu Zetian walked over and sat down opposite the two daughters, "He is a very suitable person for your prince and brother." ”

Li Chen blinked, how can it be considered a good match? If it was the same Yang family who was stirred up by Helan Minzhi before, not only was he beautiful but also from a famous family, it would be a good match in the true sense. As for the Pei family, she is neither the daughter of the fifth surname, nor has she heard of any big family. Li Chen thought, probably the match that his mother said is that after the Pei family becomes the crown princess, there is no need to worry about the princess's maiden family will increase the power of the prince's brother in the court, right?

His father's health deteriorated, and the prince's brother participated in more and more political affairs, he has always been benevolent and filial, treated the ministers of the court and the central government with courtesy, and loved the people very much. I heard that a few days ago, the prince's brother asked his father again, hoping that the wasteland in Shayuan in Tongzhou could be distributed to the poor for cultivation.

The prince's brother said that it was barren anyway, and the wasteland was distributed to the poor people for cultivation, and the court had both taxes and food for the poor, killing two birds with one stone.

The father felt that what the prince and brother said was very true, so he agreed.

In the past two years, the crown prince and elder brother have become more and more mature, and his influence in the DPRK and the people has become greater and greater.

There are too many twists and turns in many things, and Li Chen feels a headache when she thinks about it, so she simply doesn't want to, and there is nothing wrong with An An being her little princess. So, determined to be the little princess of Yongchang, who is determined to be indisputable with the world, has been making tea in the princess courtyard in recent days, in addition to going to see her mother and father, she doesn't like to wander around the palace very much, usually she also likes to take a boat with Taiping in the three lakes of Taiji Palace to see the scenery, and she hasn't gone out much these days.

‘

Taiping saw that Ah Mei suddenly became Ah Zhai, and he followed her for the first two days, but he couldn't help it on the third day.

"Sister, let's go, let's go horseback riding." Taiping changed into a riding costume and went to find Li Chen.

Li Chen was reading a book introducing all kinds of famous pianos in his hand, and he didn't raise his head, "I don't want to go." ”

Seeing this, Taiping divided five by two, stepped forward to remove the scroll in her hand, and said, "What's so beautiful about this?" You've been stuffy in the yard every day for the past few days, worried that you're going to get sick. ”

Li Chen lowered his head and calmly retorted: "No." ”

Taiping frowned, stepped forward to look at her, and looked Li Chen up and down, not understanding what was wrong with this sister.

Li Chen pursed her lips, and as soon as she looked up and saw Taiping's gaze falling on her face, she refused to speak.

Taiping: "......"

Taiping had no choice but to take Shangguan Wan'er for surgery, "What's wrong with the little princess these days?" How do you serve? ”

Shangguan Wan'er lowered her head and listened to the training, "The servant knows his mistakes." ”

Taiping frowned, his voice was slightly sorrowful, "Know your mistake and know your mistake, where are you wrong?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er: "It's the servant who doesn't serve well." ”

Taiping's brows furrowed even tighter, and he was about to have a seizure, but he heard Li Chen say: "Okay, okay, in fact, I don't want to go out, and it has nothing to do with her!" ”

Taiping was stunned, I didn't hear much about Li Chen just now, so I didn't notice her abnormality, now that I talk a lot, why do I feel that her words seem to be a little leaky?

Li Chen saw Taiping's suspicious look, and he was originally very reluctant to let people know about it, but it was really not a way to be locked up in the princess's courtyard like this every day, so he was simply annoyed and angry, "I just lost my front tooth and don't want to go out!" ”

Taiping was silent for a while, wanting to laugh, but seeing Li Chen's eyes staring at him and looking very embarrassed, he had to hold back his smile.

She couldn't help but smile and comforted Li Chen, "I have also changed my teeth, it's okay, it will grow soon." You can't be so bored here every day, let's go horseback riding together, and if you don't want others to see you, I'll let them all bow their heads, and whoever dares to disobey, I'll let my mother punish them with a cane." ”

Li Chen looked at Taiping's appearance of both smiling and comforting her, and her heart was still depressed.

Taiping: "You've been in the princess's courtyard for the past few days, do you know that our cousin is back." ”

"What cousin?" Li Chen was instantly diverted.

"I heard that the name is Wu Chenghei, not only him, but many others have also been picked up from Lingnan." Taiping smiled and helped Li Chen tidy up her bun, and then motioned to Shangguan Wan'er and Liu Xin to get a riding costume to change into Li Chen.

Li Chen was slightly stunned, Wu Chengsi is back?

Also, after her mother got her father's approval, she exiled He Lanmin the next day, and on the third day, she heard that Helan Min's death was on the way to exile. Helan Minzhi can't use it, so his mother naturally has to use someone else, and his grandfather's title of Duke Zhou Guo must also be inherited.

Just thinking about it, Liu Xin and Shangguan Wan'er had already come up to fiddle with her and wanted to change her clothes. Li Chen came back to his senses and was about to get angry, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Tianping sitting on the side, looking at her with a smile, and he couldn't get angry.

Anyway, Sister Taiping also cared about her so she wanted to take her out to ride a horse to breathe, besides, who knows when this front tooth will grow out, and it is not a way to keep it in the princess's courtyard like this.

When Li Chen and Taiping went to the riding ground of Taiji Palace, several of their brothers were there, Li Jingye and Xue Shao. Li Chen's heart was awkward again, and then she found that she was thinking too much, the two teenagers didn't seem to see her lose her front teeth, and there was nothing unusual in their eyes when they looked at her, but her second and third brothers were very hateful, and actually came to make fun of her, and later saw that she was going to be angry, and ran over to coax her angrily.

Li Chen didn't want to pay attention to them, snorted lightly, pointed to the shiny horse in front of him and said to Li Xian, "I want to ride this one." ”

Li Xian smiled: "You have a vision, this is a good horse that has just been tamed, one in a million, but it has a short temper, why don't you choose the side?" ”

Li Chen wanted to say no willfully, I was going to ride this one, but her willfulness could not make her put her life at risk, so she had to look around and look for a mount. After looking around, Li Chen found that Sister Taiping, who originally had to drag her to ride a horse, had already left her behind and ran to the other side to talk to Xue Shao's little cousin.

Why are you afraid that she will be suffocated in the princess courtyard, is she afraid that Xue Shao's little cousin will be suffocated?

Li Chen was muttering in his heart, and saw Xue Shao's little cousin, who had always been bitter and hateful, showing a smile towards Taiping.

Li Chen was stunned for a moment, and a complicated feeling suddenly rose in his heart that he didn't know whether to be happy or sad. She felt that she was sitting in a galloping carriage, with a cliff in front of her, but there were pursuers following behind, and at last she had to resign herself to running forward knowing that there was a cliff in front of her.

She felt like she was on a path that perhaps no one would understand at the end.

She felt she should do something, but she didn't dare. No matter how her eldest sister died, there are different opinions in later generations, and every theory may be true, but it is true that her mother is obsessed with power and does not care about it for the sake of power.

Li Chen lowered his eyes, and was thinking about it, when suddenly a shadow came down.

She looked up and saw that it was Li Jingye, a young man who was almost the same size as Li Xian, looking at her with a smile in his eyes.

Li Chen blinked.

Li Jingye led a white horse behind him to Li Chen, the horse had no impurities on its coat, and it was slightly shorter than an adult horse.

Li Jingye: "Its name is Bai Xue, it's not even two years old, does the princess like it?" ”
