When it is the lunar month of the year again, whether it is the people or the palace, there is a strong New Year's atmosphere.

Wu Zetian will hold a family banquet in the palace every time he is about to celebrate the New Year, so as to facilitate the contact with the feelings of the concubine.

Li Chen lay on the kang and held his chin to look at Wu Zetian who was sorting out his appearance in front of the mirror platform. There is a family banquet in the palace tonight, and her father's brothers and sisters will come, and Wu Zetian, who is Li Zhixian's internal assistant, attaches great importance to every family banquet.

"Auntie, sister, aunt has arrived with a few cousins." Taiping, who was combing his bun, ran in with a plum blossom in his hand, with an excited face.

Wu Zetian put down the comb in his hand and looked at Taiping.

Taiping is already six years old, and when he reaches the age of changing his teeth, he grins and reveals two tooth holes, and Taiping, who loves beauty, also knows that grinning is more ruin to his beautiful image, so he quickly closed his mouth again and smiled.

Seeing this, Wu Zetian couldn't help laughing.

Taiping leaned forward and handed the plum blossom in his hand to Wu Zetian, "A-Niang, this is what I picked for you." ”

Wu Zetian took the plum blossom, asked the palace maid to bring scissors to trim it, and inserted the plum blossom in the bun in front of the mirror.

Although she is over forty years old, the woman in front of her has delicate eyebrows, a pair of bright eyes, and a beautiful black and beautiful green silk coiled high, fixed with a golden hairpin, and the end of the hairpin is a phoenix with wings ready to fly. The bright moon in her ears exudes a shining brilliance, taking advantage of her brightness and beauty, she is bright and moving, dazzling. A plum blossom pinned in the hair, adding a bit of arrogance out of thin air. Seemingly contradictory, but surprisingly harmonious.

Li Chen couldn't help but admire: "It's good-looking." ”

My father has always been infatuated with my mother, and it is not for nothing.

Wu Zetian couldn't help but smile, stood up, hugged Li Chen off the kang, and led Li Chen to the Taiji Hall with Taiping in one hand and Li Chen in the other, "Let's go, we can't let my aunt wait for a long time." ”

The aunt that Taiping said was Li Zhi's sister Princess Chengyang.

Princess Chengyang was born by the eldest grandson queen, and she was very loved by Taizong back then. In her early years, Princess Chengyang descended to Du Cao, the second son of the then prime minister Du Ruhui, and later Du Cao was executed for participating in the rebellion of the then crown prince Li Chengqian, and Princess Chengyang was taken back to the palace. Taizong felt sorry for his daughter's unhappy marriage, and took great pains to choose the current Zuo Fengchengwei general Xue Qian for her. Fortunately, the two lived up to Taizong's expectations, and their relationship was harmonious after marriage, and Princess Chengyang gave birth to three sons for Xue Zong, the youngest son, Xue Shao, who was only two years older than Taiping.

Probably of the same age, Xue Shao played with Taiping, Li Dan and Li Xian, and every time there was a family banquet, a bunch of children mixed together, which was simply a group of demons dancing.

The children got together and had a lot of fun, the wives of the Li Tang royal family were all doing homework, and Wu Zetian had prepared a lot of gadgets for rewarding, and there was no shortage of children.

Li Chen sat on the collapse and absentmindedly bit the dried fruit strips, looking at his mother.

Her father advocated frugality, so her mother's skirt was changed from an unknown number of pleated skirts to the current seven-pleated skirt, but she was very generous to these people. Princess Chengyang, who was talking to Wu Zetian, turned around, and just saw Li Chen sitting quietly on the kang looking at them, she couldn't help but smile slightly, and walked over.

"Yongchang."

Li Chen raised his head and showed a flattering smile: "Auntie." ”

Princess Chengyang smiled and asked gently, "Why don't you go and play with your brothers and sisters." ”

Li Chen has a good impression of this aunt, because she is her father's half-sister, and her father often says that Princess Chengyang's temperament is a bit like her grandmother, so Ah Weng also loved her aunt before her death.

Li Chen blinked his big eyes and pouted: "Brother and sister, they run fast." "Don't go to join in the fun, otherwise she will be tired to death after a fuss.

Princess Chengyang laughed, and simply sat next to her to tease her, "Then aunt took you to play with them?" ”

Li Chen shook his head.

The group of guys who are dancing around the demons, all of them are princes and nobles, either the prince or the prince of the county, all of them are very noble, usually whether they are at home or outside, the people who serve are afraid that they are missing a hair, how can they let them play with children of the same age. Now that they have entered the palace, their age and identity are not much different, the big boys, such as Li Hong and Li Xian, these ten-year-old teenagers, just get together and shake their heads and don't know what national affairs they are talking about, and the little boys, such as Li Xian, Li Dan, Xue Shao, they get together to play with wooden swords, and the little girls, such as Taiping, get together to compete with songs and dances, and they have long gone crazy.

Li Chen is also willing to play with children occasionally, after all, she is also a four-year-old child now, and she can't help but play.

But in a bunch of little maniacs...... Li Chen thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better to forget it.

Princess Chengyang stretched out her hand to help her take the shredded paper from her bun and said, "Auntie, I heard from your mother that your father helped you set up a manor in the southeast of Chang'an, and is going to hire someone to plant tea trees for you after the beginning of spring next year, are you happy?" ”

Li Chen's chick pecked the rice and nodded, "Happy!" ”

When Wu Zetian was in Mount Tai, he said that he would find someone to help her plant tea trees after Chang'an, and it was true.

Princess Chengyang still wanted to talk to her, at this time, Wu Zetian over there was beckoning to her with a smile in the pile of women, Princess Chengyang took a piece of osmanthus cake from the food box and handed it to Li Chen, "Yongchang is good, my aunt will come to play with you later." ”

Li Chen tilted his head and nibbled on the osmanthus cake, and nodded obediently, "Okay." ”

"Sister Yongchang, what are you eating?" A voice came from behind him.

Li Chen turned around and accidentally lost his mind. The little Zhengtai in front of him, with long eyelashes, good-looking Danfeng eyes, his eyes are particularly dark and bright, his thin lips are red, and his temperament is cold when he doesn't smile...... The thin lips are slightly raised, probably like a flower slowly unfolding in the morning sun. Although the facial features have not yet grown, Li Chen seems to have seen that the corner of Xiao Zhengtai's eyes when he grows up is slightly raised, and he can pick out the scene of infinite grace and disaster, disaster to the country and the people.

This little Zhengtai is the youngest son of Princess Chengyang, Xue Shao.

After Li Chen silently recited two empty is □□ empty, he replied expressionlessly: "Osmanthus cake." ”

"Give me a taste?" Xue Shaoxiao came over.

Li Chen glanced at him, then ignored him.

Xue Shao: "......"

He is a young child in the family, and he is also very pampered at home, and when he meets his uncle and aunt in the palace, he can receive a bunch of rewards every time, and he has never been ignored so thoroughly.

Xue Shao, who was left out in the cold, was a little displeased, leaned over again, broke a little osmanthus cake from Li Chen's hand, tasted it, and frowned like a little adult, "It's so greasy, it's really unpalatable." ”

Li Chen refused to admit that he was a Yan Kong, so he glared at him unhappily, "But I didn't ask you to eat." ”

Xue Shao was speechless, and his little face was blue and white for a while.

The little boys' minds are sometimes simple and awkward, Xue Shao was still having fun with Li Dan just now, and when he saw that his mother was really talking to Li Chen, who was like a dough, he was immediately attracted to his attention. The pink and tender little cousin of Yongchang, with big watery eyes rolling around, her fleshy little face looks very pinched, and she laughs to reveal two small pear vortices, which are so beautiful.

Everyone knows that after Princess Chengyang descended to Xue Qiang, she gave birth to three sons in a row, a typical yang prosperity and yin decline. Several Xiaolangjun all want a sister, and every time they enter the palace, they see Li Xian and Li Dan showing off their Taiping sister and Yongchang sister, and their eyes are so red with jealousy.

Taiping is now a lively and active little girl, and when she saw Xue Shao's little cousin, she couldn't help but praise her cousin for being really beautiful, whether it was the prince's brother or the second brother, the third brother and the fourth brother, no one could compare to the little cousin. But now Xiao Taiping has not yet reached the time when the girl Huaichun is easy to be confused by men, so after sighing that Xue Shao's cousin is getting more and more beautiful, he went to play with the little nobles of the same age.

Xue Shao, who was snubbed by Xiao Taiping, had no choice but to play with Li Dan, but halfway through the game, he inadvertently saw Li Chen's cute and well-behaved appearance when he was talking to Princess Chengyang, and his heart was instantly cute.

Such a tender and tender Yongchang sister, he also wants to have one.

So, Xue Shao immediately left the fourth prince Li Dan and ran to play with Li Chen. However, Xue Shao, who usually didn't need to and didn't please the little girl, touched a nail in front of Li Chen without paying attention.

At this time, Princess Chengyang came over and saw Xue Shao staring at Li Chen with a cross-eyed look, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Shao'er, what are you doing?"

Xue Shao blinked, then cleaned up his cross-eyed eyes, and smiled at Princess Chengyang: "Mother, I'm playing with Sister Yongchang." ”

Li Chen: "......"

Princess Chengyang smiled and helped him wipe the sweat beads off his face, and gently advised, "The saint is coming soon, don't be rude." ”

Xue Shao nodded.

Only then did Li Chen realize that the original scene of the demons dancing had disappeared, and the little nobles of each family had gone back to their parents, and Taiping and several of her brothers were also around Wu Zetian.

Xue Shao followed Li Chen's gaze, then looked at Li Chen again, and reached over to hold Li Chen's hand. Two hands, one big and one small, overlapped together, Xue Shao blinked his beautiful eyes, is this his sister's hand?

Warm and soft, it feels fun to pinch the palm of her fleshy hand, and her hand is really small...... Xue Shao lowered his head, looking at the little meat claw he held in his hand, and felt that this little meat claw made him feel fluttering.

Xue Shao said to Li Chen with a stern face: "Sister Yongchang, I'll take you over to find the queen's aunt." ”

Li Chen looked at his hand that was being held, and he didn't understand what the little boy's brain circuit was, wasn't he still angry just now?

Just as he was speechless, he heard the palace people report that the saint had arrived.

The emperor walked in, and everyone in the hall knelt down to greet him, Li Zhi smiled and said: "Get up, say it's a family banquet, where are there so many etiquette?" ”

The last time Princess Chengyang saw Li Zhi was before the death of Lady Wei Guo. When Li Chen was sick, Princess Chengyang was also seriously ill, and she recuperated in the princess's mansion for several months, and now that she is in good health, she can enter the palace to participate in Wu Zetian's family banquet.

When Princess Chengyang was sick, although she didn't enter the palace, she didn't hear much about things in the palace.

A few months ago, Mrs. Wei was poisoned and died, and the so-called poisoned Wu brothers were dealt with quickly, severely, and strictly.

Princess Chengyang is an understanding person, in her opinion, Wu Zetian has managed the harem in an orderly manner, and has treated the Li Tang royal family with great courtesy, and so far there has never been any troubles caused by relatives interfering in politics, and she is definitely worthy of the position of the queen of the world. If Mrs. Wei is dead, she is dead, and Li Zhi also chose to continue to trust and condone Wu Zetian.

Princess Chengyang didn't care about the cause of Lady Wei's death, she only cared about her brother. His brother is an amorous man and a man who is easily sentimental.

Princess Chengyang looked at her emperor brother, and said with some distress in her tone: "Brother has lost a little bit compared to the last Qing Dynasty, and while worrying about state affairs, you should take care of your health." ”

Li Zhi smiled and said, "If you can take care of yourself and let me worry less, I'll be fine." As he spoke, he looked at Li Chen, who was standing on the side and tilted his head to look at him, bent down to pick her up, and said to Princess Chengyang: "This little thing is very naughty now. ”

Li Chen looked at his father and was displeased: "I'm not naughty." ”

Seeing this, Princess Chengyang couldn't help laughing and said, "Xiao Yongchang is very well-behaved, and Shicai is still playing with Shao'er." As he spoke, he patted Xue Shao's shoulder.

Xue Shao saluted Li Zhi in a manner, and his demeanor was natural and generous, "Uncle is healthy." ”

Li Zhi has always loved his sister very much, loves the house and Wu, and also loves her sons very much. Now that he saw Xue Shao, he casually took out a good bloodstone from his arms and rewarded him.

"I haven't seen you for a few months, but Shao'er has grown taller again. This is your uncle's reward, and it is the most suitable for carving a square seal. ”

Xue Shao respectfully took the red stone, and showed a lovely smile to Li Zhi, his bright eyes bent into the shape of a crescent moon, as if he liked it from the bottom of his heart, "Thank you, uncle." ”

Li Chen saw that he was smiling so cutely, and couldn't help but glance at the stone, the color was bright, and the bright red color became the shape of auspicious clouds, which was indeed very beautiful.

Princess Chengyang glanced at Mi'er fondly, and then said to Li Zhi: "Brother has rewarded them enough. "The things that the palace has given them are almost full of the treasury.

Li Zhi only smiled, and hugged Li Chen to Wu Zetian's side and sat down.
