117 117: The Farewell of the Old Man (3)

(Cat flutter Chinese) Li Jingye saw from a distance that Li Chen was neither beside his parents nor with those little nobles, so he came to inquire. Li Jingye had already heard Li Dan and others mention that the sage asked him to enter the palace to accompany the two sons to shoot and ride, which was suggested to the sage by Li Chen after returning to the palace from the British Mansion. For Princess Yongchang at that time, letting Li Jingye enter the palace may be just a joke, but for him, it is very important.

And in the past two years, Li Chen and Li Yanxi have also had a very harmonious relationship, and from time to time Li Yanxi is asked to enter the palace to accompany her. Li Jingye's mother died two years ago, although Li Yanxi is the younger sister of the British prince Li Jingye, but her parents are dead, and her elderly grandmother is more partial to the second uncle Li Siwen, although they are all granddaughters, but grandmother attaches much more importance to Li Yanjun. A person like Li Yanxi who lost his mother at a young age, even if he has a good background, is easy to be looked down upon, but thanks to Princess Yongchang's blue eyes for her, her sister will not be looked down upon by others in a group of small nobles now.

Li Jingye still remembers that when his grandmother was 80 years old, his sister was in the back garden with everyone, and those little girls talked and laughed one by one, but they snubbed Li Yanxi. It is a world of difference between her and now that she can let a group of well-born little nobles listen to her tell those interesting things.

Li Jingye knew very well in his heart that if there was no Li Chen, neither he nor his sister Li Yanxi would be today. Regardless of whether the other party was intentional or unintentional, Li Jingye remembered these favors, so he usually paid special attention to Li Chen secretly.

Li Chen didn't answer Li Jingye's question, but said: "I just heard from Ji Xi that after the Lingyin Temple in the west, there is a peony growing on the cliff, and there are already more than a dozen buds, which has attracted many people to watch. ”

Li Jingye nodded, "Yes, the cliff is very smooth, people can't come to it, peonies grow on it, they all say that it is the manifestation of the Buddha, I took her to see it on the day of Xiu Mu." ”

Li Chen was very envious, "I want to see it too." "But the princess's guard of honor is too ostentatious.

Li Jingye looked at her somewhat lost face, was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "That day, Ji Xi went wearing my brother's new clothes. ”

Li Chen was stunned for a moment, and reacted instantly, she said, Well, Li Jingye always runs around with his sister, how did he go. Because although there are relatively few restrictions on women in this era, if a girl wants to go out, as long as she has a little identity, she has to hug her to show her identity when she goes out, and she also has to wear a curtain, which is very inconvenient. But if you wear men's clothes, it's different, now at Lee Yeon-hee's age, he is a cute and beautiful little boy in men's clothes.

So, after the family banquet, Li Chen pestered her mother, saying that she wanted to go to Lingyin Temple in the west of Chang'an.

Wu Zetian looked at his daughter and said strangely: "It's not enough for you to go to Buxian Garden, you still want to go to Lingyin Temple?" Could it be that the Lingyin Temple is better than your Buxian Garden? ”

Li Chen coquettishly told his mother: "I heard that on the cliff behind Lingyin Temple, there is a peony that blooms, and the white peony is as big as a bowl, and it is very beautiful to hang on the cliff, and they all say that it is the manifestation of the Buddha." My father has had a headache since last year, and I want to go to Lingyin Temple to pray for my father's blessing and pray to the Buddha for my mother's health. ”

Wu Zetian looked at Li Chen with a smile, it was true to pray for his father to offer incense, and it was true that he wanted the Buddha to bless his mother, but he also had the intention of taking the opportunity to go out to play.

Li Chen walked around behind his mother, wrapped his hands around her neck, and continued to be coquettish, "Auntie, okay?" ”

Although Wu Zetian is not as eager to spoil his two daughters as Li Zhi, most of the time he almost responds to the two daughters, at this time the young daughter was lying on her back, and her voice was delicate, so she relented, "I'll let people arrange it tomorrow." ”

But Li Chen said: "I want to leave the palace quietly." ”

The smile on Wu Zetian's face condensed slightly, and he looked back at Li Chen.

Li Chen blinked his big eyes and met his mother's gaze, "The princess's guard of honor is too ostentatious, going to worship the Buddha is sincere, too many people follow, it will disturb the purity of the Buddha." "My mother is a believer in Buddhism, and Li Chen feels that as long as she is pious enough, her mother will not object.

And Li Chen has always believed that fathers and mothers have different requirements for their brothers than for their daughters, and they have always been very indulgent to her and Sister Taiping. Three months ago, the Tibetan envoy came to ask for marriage, hoping to make peace with the princess of the Tang Dynasty.

Princess Yiyang and Princess Xuancheng have already declined, and even if they haven't declined, they are too old to be close. Tubo came to ask for marriage, apparently hoping to marry one of his daughters to Tubo today. After combining his father and mother, he immediately rejected the request passed by the Tibetan envoy, on the grounds that Princess Yongchang was still young and unsuitable, and Princess Taiping in the early years in order to fulfill her filial piety for her mother, she became a monk and became a Taoist aunt to cultivate the blessings of her deceased grandmother, and it was impossible to go to harmony. In order to strive for realism, my father ordered someone to build a Taiping Temple in the palace for Sister Taiping to live in, so that when she went to Buxian Garden in the past few months, Sister Taiping couldn't go together.

In any case, Li Chen felt that his father and mother were a pair of cattle people, and in the eyes of cattle people, many others seemed to be deviant things, but in their eyes, it was all trivial.

Li Chen's estimate was good, Wu Zetian really agreed, and her father Tang Gaozong frowned when he heard that she was going to leave the palace in private clothes, and then assigned her two secret guards, who were twin brothers and sisters, the elder brother was called Shu Ye, and the younger sister was called Shu Zhi.

Li Chen got two secret guards and looked at his father very unexpectedly.

With a smile on his face, Li Zhi reached out and rubbed the top of her head, and said softly: "This was originally intended to be allocated to you in the future, but now although it is a little early, you often go out of the palace and don't like too many people around you to follow, and the two of them dial it to you just right." ”

Li Chen had heard of the secret guards, and his father's secret guards were all personally selected and trained by him, and his mother probably didn't know how many people he had in his hands, but now his father assigned two secret guards to her...... Li Chen looked at his father, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Li Chen blinked and asked the most critical question: "Will they only listen to me in the future?" ”

Father smiled and put his index finger to his lips and made a silent gesture, "Not only from you, but also from mine." ”

Father and mother have their own secrets, they do have feelings, but they also have calculations. Presumably, the father had prepared a secret guard for each of his children, but they didn't know it. Li Chen thought, this is fine. She was worried that there would be no one to use in the future, and now that her father had allocated her two secret guards, maybe they would come in handy in the future.

Li Chen left the palace the next day, naturally she didn't leave the palace alone, she went out of the palace with her fourth brother Li Dan. Li Xian is about to accept a concubine, which means that he will soon become an adult, Li Zhi asked him to officially go to the court to listen to the government, so Li Xian can only go to the court meeting every day very hard.

Although Li Chen is a princess, her father and brother are not ashamed of their kung fu, she can't shoot arrows, but when it comes to kung fu on horseback, it is not bad. She and Li Dan brought a few guards, and went to Lingyin Temple in private clothes, accompanied by Li Jingye.

Lingyin Temple is built on the top of Lingyin Mountain, there are nearly 2,000 steps from the mountain gate to the main hall, Li Jingye turned over and dismounted, and Li Dan and Li Chen said: "Lingyin Temple is on the top of the mountain, why don't I hire a sedan chair?" ”

Li Chen smiled and said no, it's just nearly two thousand levels, since she said that she came to pray for blessings, she naturally wanted to climb up by herself, so she showed her sincerity. Although she still has the intention of playing, her heart of worshipping the Buddha is also very sincere!

Li Chen has never lacked activity, and climbed to the top of the mountain in one breath, and Shangguan Wan'er, who was also dressed in men's clothes, was still panting underneath, Li Chen couldn't help laughing, and showed off to her fourth brother, "I said a long time ago that I can climb up in one breath." ”

Li Dan smiled and was about to talk to her, when he suddenly saw someone not far in front of him, and couldn't help frowning slightly. He turned his head sideways and asked Li Jingye beside him, "Why are there still people?" ”

Li Chen was stunned, followed Li Dan's gaze, and saw a young man, about eleven or twelve years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, wearing plain clothes, but the fabric was very elegant, and he was followed by a scholar who was slightly older than him.

When the young man saw Li Chen looking over, he smiled slightly and bowed.

Li Chen: "......" these days, what are these teenagers going to make trouble when they are more beautiful than the other?

The young man wore a moon-white regular dress, with a jade pendant on his waist, ink-colored sword eyebrows, his eyes seemed to have starlight, his facial features were delicate and flawless, and when he was not smiling, he had a bit of a cold aura on his body, and when he smiled, he was like a spring breeze, his demeanor was elegant, and his bearing was extraordinary. He reminded Li Chen of the surprise when he first saw Li Jingye in the British Mansion, but compared to Li Jingye, the young man in front of him had clear eyes, and at a glance he knew that he was a person who grew up smoothly.

Li Jingye glanced at the young man in front of him, and explained softly to Li Dan: "When I sent someone to deliver the letter yesterday, it was already late, and the abbot didn't have time to reply. Shicai has already told me that this Xiao Langjun has been living in the small courtyard on the mountain for a few days, and I didn't say anything about you and -" Li Jingye was silent, swallowed the word princess back, and then said: "I didn't say your identity, and this Xiao Langjun is already preparing to go down the mountain." ”

Although the princess and the prince came in private clothes, they also had to clear the idle people.

When Li Dan heard this, he looked at the young man again, and saw that although he was slightly younger than himself, he behaved calmly, so he couldn't help but feel good and wanted to come forward to make friends. However, before he took a step, he looked sideways at Li Chen, who was blinking at his side with big eyes, and hesitated again.

It's okay for him to go and make friends, but if Ah Mei also joins in the fun, won't he have to let his father peel off a layer of skin after he goes back? Just as he hesitated, the young man had already bowed to the few of them again, and then left the other way with his entourage.

Li Dan said with some regret: "This person is good-looking and behaves freely, but unfortunately I can't know him." ”

Shangguan Wan'er only climbed up at this time and stood beside Li Chen, she didn't see the young man who was suitable, as soon as she heard Li Dan's words, her eyes looked at Li Dan with some curiosity.

Li Jingye smiled and said, "If there is a fate, there will always be another chance to get acquainted." ”

Li Chen asked the abbot beside him directly and simply, "Who is that person?" ”

The abbot didn't know Li Chen's identity, but Li Jingye knew that Li Chen and Li Jingye came, and Li Jingye was respectful to her, thinking that he was born noble, so he said: "That little Langjun's surname is Song, and I heard that peonies have grown on the cliff behind Lingyin Temple, so I came to enjoy the flowers." ”

Li Chen was about to ask, when suddenly a small novice ran over in a hurry.

"Abbot! Abbot! ”

The abbot frowned slightly, and scolded lightly, "What's the matter?" ”

Xiao Shami said a little breathlessly: "Anyang County mainly went to Lingyin Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, saying that please avoid idle people!" ”
