Li Chen felt that the first year of Yonglong was the most unpeaceful year in the history of the Tang Dynasty.

First of all, Tubo invaded the border, and then there were continuous natural disasters in the Tang Dynasty, first the locust plague, then the drought and flood, the border was not peaceful, the people in the territory were hard, and the court was also surging, the second brother Li Xian was abolished as a concubine, and the original British king Li Xianli was the crown prince. Finally, when everything could be relieved, Li Zhi was seriously ill again.

Li Jingye followed Pei Xingjian on an expedition half a month before Li Yanxi's wedding to defeat Tibet.

Li Yanxi, who said goodbye to her brother, went to the princess's mansion and looked at the princess with teary eyes.

Li Chen sighed, "Ji Xi, you're going to get married anyway, can't you let your brother feel a little more at ease with you?" ”

Li Yanxi retorted: "Where did I not reassure my brother, I didn't shed a single tear in front of him!" ”

Li Chen glanced at her, not wanting to say anything more. People are sometimes very strange, in the past, Li Chen was happy to see Li Yanxi with such a heartless appearance, and felt that there was nothing wrong with her like that, but now when she sees her like this, she is a little irritable in her heart. Li Chen thought about it, and finally figured it out.

It's not that she doesn't like Li Yanxi anymore, but whether it's her or Li Jingye, they have all changed, but only Li Yanxi, who has been like a ceramic doll for ten years.

If someone keeps changing, for better or for worse, and someone stays where they are, then they will always drift away.

Li Chen feels that he and Lee Yeon-hee are like this now.

Li Chen thought of this, and sighed secretly in his heart, in life, there are □□ things that cannot fulfill people's wishes. Li Jingye, that guy, is going to crusade against Tubo, and I don't know if he has figured it out now. Li Chen thought about it and felt that it didn't matter whether Li Jingye figured it out now or not, he was still fighting for the Tang Dynasty, although he was loyal to the emperor, but in fact it was for tens of millions of people.

Li Chen remembered the promise she made to Li Jingye at the beginning, Li Yanxi was in Chang'an, but whatever she could, she would take care of it one by one.

But she was in no mood to appease the doll's sentimental mood because of parting with her brother, and asked directly: "You will get married in half a month, can you shake everything about the wedding?" ”

Li Yanxi didn't expect the princess's topic to span so much, and she jumped from her brother's expedition to her wedding at once, and shook her head a little unresponsively, and nodded again.

Li Chen frowned: "Is it good or not?" ”

Lee Yeon-hee: "Before my brother left, I entrusted my uncle, and my uncle said that he would treat me as his own daughter and organize the wedding for me. In fact, many things have been taken care of, and the second sister also specially called one of her older maids in the East Palace to me, saying that she wanted to teach me what to pay attention to in the future for □□. ”

The second sister that Li Yanxi said is the current crown princess Li Yanjun. The two cousins used to be happy enemies, and if they didn't meet, they would have a quarrel, and all this changed after Li Yanjun became the princess of England. Li Chen felt that Li Yanjun's change was due to her father Li Siwen. Now that the saint is seriously ill, the crown prince Li Xian is the supervisor of the country, and the prince's father-in-law Li Siwen has become one of the prince's important advisers.

Because Li Siwen has political talent, when his daughter was not married to the British king, Wu Zetian appreciated Li Siwen very much and deliberately wanted to promote him. Later, after Li Yanjun married into the British Prince's Mansion, Wu Zetian dispelled the idea of promoting him. But talent is always talent, and now that the son-in-law has become the crown prince, can the father-in-law not follow the light?

But Li Siwen himself is a very smart person, he is Li Ji's second son, although he can't be compared with his eldest son, but he is luckier than his brother, he has been in the British government, when Li Ji lingered and fell ill, it was his filial piety in front of the bed. His father was a veteran of two dynasties, and his height and weight relied on the wisdom of being an official. Li Ji did not have any gold and silver treasures left to him during his lifetime, but he taught him how to survive in the imperial court.

The crown prince Li Xian ascended the throne, Li Siwen did not get carried away because of this, he repeatedly taught his daughter to keep a low profile in the East Palace, and never collide with Her Royal Highness the Queen. When Li Yanjun married the King of England, he was a little reluctant in his heart, but he can be called the Queen of England, although the King of England is absurd, he is a person who knows how to cherish his wife, so Li Yanjun and the King of England get along harmoniously. Now that King Ying has become the crown prince and Li Yanjun has become the crown princess, every day when he goes to Qingning Palace in the morning and dusk, he doesn't know how many times he has grown compared to the Zhao family back then.

But Li Chen saw these things in his eyes and worried in his heart.

Mother will definitely find a name to run the third brother in the future, Li Siwen is cautious and thoughtful, but unfortunately so far he has only been from the fifth grade, and his power is limited. If he secretly plots for the third brother, and the third brother is more competitive, he can also fight with his mother, after all, no matter how the crown prince is not angry, he is also a legitimate successor, and his mother's sons have died suddenly and one has been deposed as a concubine, and now that it is Li Xian, she must have a reasonable reason to kick him down anyway, otherwise how can she block the mouth of everyone in the world.

Li Chen felt a little headache, Li Jingye has not expressed her position on the matter she mentioned in Buxian Garden, if he can't figure it out and joins his uncle Li Siwen's camp at that time...... Li Chen felt very disturbed just thinking about it, if that was the case, she would really be busy in vain.

Li Yanxi, who was sitting opposite Li Chen, looked at the princess frowning slightly, thinking that she was worried that Li Siwen would not do her best for her wedding, so she said with a smile: "Don't worry, princess, since my uncle has made a promise to my brother, he will definitely do what he says." ”

When Li Chen heard this, he glanced at her angrily, "Although your uncle has already separated from you, your face is also his face, even if he is not for you, for his own sake, he will handle your wedding well, what do I have to worry about." "In these families, it's like this, one is prosperous, and the other is lost.

Hearing this, Li Yanxi blinked, "In that case, why is the princess frowning?" ”

Li Chen glanced at Li Yanxi very sadly, crying and laughing, "Xixi, fortunately, it is Cheng Qizhi who you are going to marry." "If you marry a family next to you, it would be strange if Li Yanxi's personality is not eaten alive.

When Li Yanxi heard this, she bowed her head shyly.

Li Chen: "......"

Li Chen said a few more words to Li Yanxi, and then sent her back to the British Mansion.

It's really annoying...... Li Chen, who returned to the room, half-leaned on the couch, thinking about this inextricable relationship, and felt a headache.

At this time, Song Jing came back from the Yushitai, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Chen frowning slightly, and raised his eyebrows.

"Yongchang?"

Li Chen came back to his senses and looked at him. If one day Li Jingye is involved in Li Xian's side, she wants to protect him, can she keep it?

Li Chen looked at the moonlit and breezy Song Jing in front of him, and wanted to ask him about it, but in the end he held back. Today's Song Jing is not good, he is a person from Yushitai, these things should not involve him, and now Song Jing is friendly with a group of ministers in the court who have a good reputation, such as Di Renjie and Zhang Yue, these people are not the noble families in Chang'an City, and they can be described as a clear stream in the court. These ministers, whose family backgrounds have no roots in Chang'an and Luoyang, will be the objects of their mother's reliance in the future.

Li Chen also wanted to talk to Song Jing about the things he was worried about many times, but they didn't seem to have reached that point yet.

The body is already very close, but the heart is not close.

Many things are difficult to explain to Song Jing.

Song Jing looked at her and didn't speak for a long time, sat down beside her, and asked, "Why are you bothered?" ”

Li Chen leaned his head on his shoulder and said with a smile: "I'm thinking about General Li's sister's wedding, what kind of congratulatory gift should I give." ”

Song Jing raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling that Li Chen's answer was really perfunctory, Li Jingye's sister was going to get married, and she had already prepared a gift list to send to her, making it seem like her sister was going to get married, and now she actually said that she didn't know what kind of gift to give? But the colt was very intimate and did not demolish her, and there were some things she did not want to say, and he did not have to ask.

Because it was useless to ask, after Song Jing returned from his eastward trip to Luoyang, he paid more attention to Li Chen, and he found that there were too many twists and turns in the little princess's heart. Sometimes he casually asked her a few words, and she was more than happy to answer, never secretively, but most of the time, her answer was a little perfunctory.

Song Jing knew very well in her heart that she had something on her mind, but she never expected him to help.

She even counted on the British Gong Li Jingye, but she never counted on Song Jing.

Song Jing may be just her concubine and a courtier in her princess's mansion to Li Chen, and she doesn't need him to worry about many things in her heart, and she even thinks it's good that he doesn't come to make trouble.

Song Jing was helpless and unwilling in his heart, and even gritted his teeth at Li Chen sometimes.

But he just couldn't do anything about her.

He previously thought that Li Chen had a personal affair with Li Jingye, but after observing these days, he didn't. If a person puts another person in her heart, no matter how she hides it, there will always be a clue, but Li Chen doesn't. She has endless things to worry about every day, either to go to Princess Taiping's mansion to see Princess Taiping, or to go to Lingyin Temple to offer incense to pray for the saint, and when she has free time, she will ask how the wedding of Li Yanxi, the sister of the British duke, is doing now? As for where Li Jingye is now, whether he is going to fight Tibet or chasing the bandits on the border, she doesn't care at all.

Li Chen's attitude towards Li Jingye is far from the rumors that are being promoted in Chang'an City.

Song Jing thought that people who were slightly familiar with Li Chen would think that she had nothing to do with Li Jingye, but he found that he was wrong again. When he went with the Imperial History Zhongcheng to report to Her Royal Highness the Queen's impeachment and state governor, Her Royal Highness the Queen also specially left him behind and said a few words, which probably means that the princess and Li Jingye are childhood sweethearts, and the word love is sometimes difficult to restrain herself, the princess is the daughter of the heavenly family who is used to doing whatever she wants, and she also has the responsibility as a mother to let the princess usually let the princess more.

Song Jing listened to Her Royal Highness's teachings calmly, even though the doubts in her heart were one after another, she was stunned and behaved very calmly and appropriately in front of Her Royal Highness.

Li Chen obviously has no personal relationship with Li Jingye, why did she let her mother have such thoughts?

Song Jing stretched out his arm around the shoulders of the woman beside him, frowning slightly.

What is Li Chen's intention?
