Li Zhi bought the manor for Li Chen, named Buxian Garden, with a radius of 300 miles.

Li Zhi found a group of people who were proficient in tea planting from the south to specialize in planting tea trees, and also assigned a boss Nongsi Cheng to manage the Buxian Garden for Li Chen.

The Sinong Temple assigned by Li Zhi to Li Chen is surnamed Lu Mingguan, who is nearly forty years old.

Li Chen was not very good at math in the past, and after hearing that the radius of three hundred miles was heard, all kinds of numbers were counted over and over in her heart, and in the end, she was a little dumbfounded, she actually owned an industry of tens of thousands of acres!

Lu Guan led Princess Chengyang and others to stop in a house, the gate was very magnificent, and the plaque hanging on it said the word Buxian Garden.

As soon as Li Chen saw it, he knew that those three words were from his mother Wu Zetian.

Father named, mother inscription, Li Chen suddenly gave birth to a kind of irrepressible pride in her heart, when the east of Mount Tai, she realized that the Tang Dynasty was in charge of her parents, and now the garden of envy made her feel that as an imperial princess, there are too many things she can have, and the garden in front of her is only a small part of what her parents gave her.

Entering the gate of the garden, you will see a large road paved with bluestone slabs, planted with all kinds of flowers and plants on both sides of the road, and in front of one of the large courtyards, there are two tall ginkgo trees standing on the left and right of the gate like guards.

Lu Guan followed Li Chen's gaze and said with a smile: "These two ginkgo biloba are said to be three hundred years old so far. ”

Li Chen listened, and a happy look appeared on his face, "Really? "I've heard that things that live for a long time, whether they are plants or animals, are very spiritual.

Lu Guan nodded respectfully, and then walked inside with Princess Chengyang and her party, the courtyard was very large, and there were several houses in the depths of the courtyard, between the houses, the paths were connected, and there were trickling streams around. Li Zhi chose the residence for Li Chen on the east side of the courtyard, in front of the house is a large pond, the pond is built with a rockery, the rockery flowers and plants are in full bloom, the plank road lingers, the blue water ripples below, and behind the house is a forest of wisteria flowers.

Li Chen looked around, spring had arrived, the flowers and plants on the rockery were purple and red, the trees were spitting tender buds, and the wisteria trees behind the house had bloomed, with an elegant layout. Mother said that her father set the layout of her residence himself, and Li Chen realized that his father was also a very talented person.

Behind the compound, there is the back mountain, and there is a stream on the back mountain, and the stream between the houses in the compound is surrounded, which is led down from the back mountain.

Taiping and Li Chen walked together, and said to Li Chen with a smile while watching: "Sister, there will be a place to spend time in the future." In the winter, you can go to Lishan to soak in the hot springs, and in the winter, you can come to the manor, there are mountains and waters, you can go fishing, swimming, and in the summer, you can go boating on the pond. ”

Just listening to it, Li Chen felt that such a day was too happy, and he didn't know how many times more leisurely it was to be locked up in the palace.

Li Chen lived in the house chosen by her father for her, Taiping didn't want to toss, and lived directly with Li Chen, Princess Chengyang chose the house in the south to live, Xue Shao and they also wanted to settle down there after they came back from hunting, Princess Chengyang lived there, just enough to sit in town, so as not to let a few teenagers have a rare release, and they played wantonly day and night.

Sure enough, in the evening, Li Xian, Li Dan and others came to the manor under the escort of a team of cavalry guards.

Li Xian was already a teenager who was about to change his voice, and shouted in a rough voice, "Taiping, Yongchang, look what we caught!" ”

Taiping and Li Chen ran out of the yard, only to see Li Xian carrying two little rabbits in his hands.

Taiping summoned Li Chen and Shangguan Wan'er to come over, and when the young girl saw this fluffy and innocent little animal, her heart suddenly burst into joy, even if Shangguan Wan'er had always been serious, she also smiled. She lowered her head and touched the little rabbit in her hand, but probably the little rabbit was frightened by Li Xian and them, and trembled in her hands.

Li Chen looked at Shangguan Wan'er and Taiping, obviously she was not interested in the little rabbit, so she looked at Li Jingye and Xue Shao who came on horseback.

Li Jingye held a wooden stick in his hand, and a gray bird was tied to his feet, so he had to stay on the stick.

Li Jingye saw that Li Chen's gaze fell on the bird, he was stunned, looked at the bird in his hand, and then looked at Li Chen. I saw that the little princess, who was about the same age as his sister, looked at the gray little bird without blinking, as if she liked it very much.

Li Jingye wanted to bring the gray parrot back to the British Mansion to Li Yanxi, but when he saw Li Chen's appearance, he hesitated, and then handed over the wooden stick in his hand.

Li Chen blinked and looked at him with big eyes.

With a little confusion in his clear eyes, his appearance was very cute, and the young man unconsciously showed a warm smile on his face, and said softly: "This is a gray parrot, I found it when I was hunting, it is still young, and it will learn to speak after taking care of it." ”

A grey parrot that learns to speak?

Li Chen took the wooden stick, stared at the gray parrot on the wooden stick, stared at her for a long time, and the gray parrot turned her head and stopped looking at her, looking very arrogant.

Li Chen: "......"

Xue Shao, who dismounted, looked at the gray parrot in Li Chen's hand, and joked with a smile, "I didn't expect Sister Yongchang to like this kind of gray bird." ”

Li Chen's chin raised slightly, and he snorted lightly, "I just like it, can't I?" ”

Taiping saw the movement here and came over, but she felt that the gray parrot was really not good-looking, so she pursed her lips and brought the little rabbit in her hand to Xue Shao as if she were offering a treasure, "Cousin, look! ”

Xue Shao smiled and reached out and touched the head of the little rabbit, the little rabbit was scared to death, and the pair of ears that were erected high collapsed.

Xue Shao said: "I arrested me. ”

Taiping raised his eyes, with a bit of surprise in his eyes, "Really? ”

Xue Shao nodded.

"I thought it was the third brother who caught it."

Xue Shao pointed behind him and said, "Where is the third cousin's prey?" ”

Taiping looked over and saw a guard holding a few dying pheasants in his hand, and she was silent.

Li Chen smiled and said, "It's better to let my aunt send someone to build a fire in the open space in the courtyard, and we will make a small roasting □□." ”

Li Chen said that he wanted to make a small roast chicken, Taiping was dirty and didn't want to get it, but Li Xian was very interested, he usually loved to play, and now he was a little roast chicken, in his opinion, it was just one more thing to play.

Li Jingye probably usually trained with the British Duke in the field, and by the time the slave brought the cleaned pheasants, he had already taken several arrows to string the dehaired and washed pheasants, and then set them on the fire.

Princess Chengyang sat at the stone table in the courtyard, with all kinds of fruit snacks on the table, and behind her stood two palace maids on call.

Taiping didn't want to go over to join in the fun, so he sat next to Princess Chengyang and teased the little rabbit that Xue Shao caught.

And the little Li Chen was beside the fire, the firelight reflected her little face red, she bent her big eyes, her face was a satisfied and happy smile, from time to time with her two brothers to play, suddenly I don't know what to step on, the center of gravity is unstable, the British son who should be concentrating on roasting chicken seems to have eyes behind him, and he has a free hand to stabilize her small body. She was slightly stunned, and then showed a sweet smile to the other party without hesitation.

Seeing this, Princess Chengyang couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly. His gaze was drawn back and fell on Taiping, who was sending Shangguan Wan'er to fetch her some kudzu leaves to feed the rabbits.

Taiping said to Princess Chengyang while playing with the little rabbit: "The rabbit that the third cousin caught back is very interesting. ”

Princess Chengyang was stunned, her eyes fell on her son, he and Li Jingye sat side by side in front of the fire, and the two of them turned over the pheasants on the fire from time to time. In the firelight, he pursed his lips and looked very serious, as if the roast chicken was some kind of homework.

"Does Taiping like the third cousin?" Princess Chengyang asked.

Taiping nodded of course, "I like it, my cousin is very beautiful." ”

Princess Chengyang was about to say something, when suddenly there was a noise outside the door, she was stunned and stood up.

Li Chen and the others, who were originally playing, also quieted down and looked at the gate where the sound came.

At this time, the leader of the cavalry guards came and said to Princess Chengyang: "Eldest princess, it is the Praetorian Guard sent by the palace. ”

Princess Chengyang was stunned, after the sunset in Chang'an City, there was a curfew, and at this time there were Praetorian Guards in the palace, what happened in the palace? She groaned slightly, and commanded, "Open the door." ”

The leader of the cavalry opened the door, and saw two teams of Janissaries outside the door, each holding a torch in his hand, and the dark night was illuminated by them as bright as day. And beside the Praetorian Guard, there was also a palace maid in men's clothes, who was Liu Chun beside Wu Zetian.

The door opened, and except for the commander of the Praetorian Guard and Liu Chun, no one outside the door entered.

After the commander and Liu Chun saluted Princess Chengyang, they said to Princess Chengyang: "Eldest princess, I have offended. ”

Princess Chengyang looked at him coldly, "What is the crime?" ”

The commander of the Praetorian Guard did not reply, but only said loudly: "My subordinates have been ordered by the saint to come to pick up the eldest princess into the palace. ”

Princess Chengyang was stunned, she only left the palace on her front foot, and the Praetorian Guards came to invite her into the palace on her back foot...... She frowned slightly and looked at Liu Chun.

Liu Chun didn't squint, and said to her in a calm tone: "Eldest princess, don't worry, the maid was ordered by Her Royal Highness the Empress to take care of several princes and princesses. ”

The Praetorian Guard took two steps back to the side and made a gesture, "Eldest Princess, please!" ”

"Mother!" Xue Shao shouted loudly.

Princess Chengyang looked over, and Xue Shao was standing by the fire, looking at her with a pale face. She showed a reassuring smile at Xue Shao, "You just stay here to play with your cousins, and your mother will come to pick you up after seeing your uncle." After speaking, she walked out of the courtyard with a calm face.

With a "boom", the gate of the courtyard closed again, Li Chen turned his head and looked at Liu Chun, who was dressed in men's clothes, "Liu Chun, what happened in the palace?" "Unless it is a major event, the Praetorian Guard will not act lightly during the curfew time.

Liu Chun squatted down, took out a handkerchief to wipe the ashes off Liu Chen's face, and said in a gentle and respectful tone, "Little princess, I don't know." ”
