Chapter 3: Teenage Beginnings
Five years later
Tai Chi Palace Xun Feng Palace
Two figures frolicked and ran in the courtyard.
"Brother Hong, come and chase me!"
"Big brother! You slow down! I can't catch up! ”
Li Lingmo heard Li Hong behind him, panting and calling him, looking back at this younger brother with a smile, how much hope he had in his heart that the history of killing his twin brother at the banquet of his mother Wu Ze in the future would not be staged.
"Hong'er! Mo'er! ”
Li Lingmo and Li Hong stopped, turned to look at the corridor of the palace gate, Wu Zetian and Li Zhi stood there looking at them with doting on their faces.
"Father! Queen mother! ”
He and Li Hong performed the royal etiquette to the two, and Li Hong ran to Wu Zetian's side, but Li Lingmo didn't move, just stood there quietly
"The most ruthless emperor's family? Is this statement true or false? ”
In the past five years since he was reincarnated, although he was born in the Li Tang royal family or the son of Gaozong Li Zhi and China's only empress Wu Zetian, he was erased from birth because of his appearance, and was hidden outside the palace to raise him, but he was not abandoned by Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, there are always a few days every month every year, the two took Li Zhi out of the palace in disguise and came to the place where he lived to spend so many ordinary but happy days with him, even Wu Zetian was pregnant with a little sister, aunt Princess Gaoyang and uncle Wu Wangke rebelled, Wu Zetian held up his pregnant belly and never stopped, and the two of them took Li Hong to see him.
Even last year, the little sister died, the queen Wang, the concubine Xiao was abolished one after another, the uncle eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Han Yuan, Lai Jiyin blocked his mother's seal, and his father wanted to revitalize the imperial power and fight against the power of the old ministers led by his uncle and others, so he used the abolition of Wang Liwu to demote the four to the governors of other provinces, and the things in these history books are no different from what he learned, but the death of the little sister was not explained by the mother Wu Zetian after the queen visited the little sister, and no one strangled her, covered up with a quilt and other historical materials in her previous life.
But after the abolition of the Wang family because of ignorance and never gave birth to a loving little sister for fear of catching a cold, the doors and windows were closed and the quilt covered the face, but he didn't know that the little sister had just been born with a constant temperature of carbon fire in the room, which caused the carbon dioxide produced by the carbon fire to be too concentrated, and because the quilt covered the face, the oxygen was thin and suffocated, at first he didn't believe that after being secretly taken back to the palace, he used the secret method in the reincarnation to secretly investigate to verify whether it was like that, he looked at it countless times and showed that it was the queen Wang's ignorance that was now the queen Wang's ignorance was true.
He was also glad that he had not stopped cultivating the reincarnation duel in the past five years, and the five years had only successfully built the foundation to reach the first stage of the reincarnation duel, but there was still a long way to go before Dacheng.
Wu Zetian and Li Zhi showed a trace of loss on their faces when they saw this, and they had a trace of apology and sadness for him in their hearts.
I don't know when Wu Zetian had a trace of tears in the corners of her eyes, she felt that she had not fulfilled her mother's responsibilities, since he was born, he was privately sent out of the palace because of his appearance, until last year when the Wang family and the Xiao family were abolished, and after various accidents, he was successfully sealed, and he was taken back to the palace.
"Pheasant slave, did you say we were wrong to pick him up?"
Wu Zetian felt a little sour in his heart, and put his mouth to Li Zhi's ear and whispered in a sad tone, Li Zhi patted her hand and did not reply.
"Queen Mother, why are you crying?"
Li Hong's immature voice broke the silence.
"It's not windy, it's blind."
Wu Zetian wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, squatted down to wipe the sweat off Li Hong's forehead, smiled and did not speak.
Li Lingmo also pulled his thoughts back from his memories because of Li Hong's words, and slowly walked towards Li Zhiwu Zetian, he knew that he had just made his parents in front of him a little overwhelmed, and he had grown up and lived a happy life outside the palace since he was a child
He stood beside Wu Zetian, quiet and did not make any sound, Wu Zetian and Li Zhi looked puzzled when they saw this.
"Hey! This kid really doesn't know how to place him in the future, and I don't know if he can adapt to the deceit in this royal family. ”
Li Zhi gently patted Wu Zetian's shoulder and did not speak.
"Daddy, I'll go back to the room first"
"Okay."
He said hello to Wu Zetian and Li Zhi in the tone of an ordinary person, then pushed open the door of the hall and walked in.
The door of the hall slowly closed, leaving only Wu Zetian and the three of them standing there.
"Father, mother, what's wrong with the eldest brother?"
"It's nothing, your eldest brother is tired, let's go too!"
I saw that after Li Hong followed Wu Zetian and Li Zhi from here, the Xunfeng Hall returned to silence, leaving only heavy guards.
Somewhere in the temple, there is a dark room
"Hey!"
Li Lingmo sighed softly, the conversation between Wu Zetian and others just now came into his ears, and the loss and loneliness in Wu Zetian's words deeply pierced his heart.
In fact, he didn't know how to get along with his current mother, Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in history in the previous life, after so many years of getting along, he found that all the historical materials were different from the Wu clan he knew now.
"I really don't know, is it because the historical records I have learned are too one-sided, or is everything in front of me an illusion?"
He began to wonder if what he had learned could be fully applied to him now, although there was no difference in major events, but the character image was different from those he had learned in his previous life, his current father was not as weak and incompetent as described in the historical materials, and his mother Wu did not remember the historical materials with a lot of scheming, iron and ruthless.
"Forget it! I don't want to, I wonder if my actions just now hurt my mother? We'll find out when they come tomorrow! ”
"Huh?"
He suddenly remembered that he had just said two words that did not fit this era, my mother.
"Hey! I thought that the myth of that TV series was just a fictional story made up by the screenwriter and director, but I would have thought that I had personally experienced a real crossing, although it was different from the plot of the myth, but I experienced the same thing, I don't know if I can finally return to that era like Yi Xiaochuan, but the ending may be different. ”
"Okay, after all, this is not a TV series myth, and I am not Yi Xiaochuan, no one can know what will happen later."
He walked to a table by the window and sat down in front, on the table there was a pen holder hanging on the top of the brush of different sizes, wolf hair as the core, jade as the rod, under the pen holder placed a piece of excellent inkstone, the inkstone also put on a piece of imperial ink, in the middle of the table a picture scroll is displayed here, on the painting is the Xuanwu Gate in the northwest direction of the Xunfeng Palace.
He carefully rolled up the finished scroll and placed it on a bookshelf beside the table, opened a jade and gold-encrusted makeup in the upper left corner of the table, and took out a gilt bronze mirror and placed it in the center of the table.
He looked at himself in the mirror, the face that had caused many innocent palace maids and attendants to disappear from this world when he was born.
He took off the jade hairpin and crown on his head and put them into the makeup, and the original bun was scattered when he took off the crown and hairpin.
He looked at the bronze mirror, his bewitching and handsome face and the long gray hair of gold dust that was already inconsistent with this era were even more bewitching in this yellowed mirror.
He also knew what kind of people this kind of hair would have in this era, and it was precisely because of this why Li Zhi and Wu Zetian sent him out of the palace to secretly raise him in the previous five years.
He put the bronze mirror back in his place, and put it back in place.
"Hey, being born in the emperor's family but having the hair color and eye color that the emperor's family shouldn't have, it's okay, but how long can this peaceful life live?"
I don't know when the jade flute in his spiritual consciousness appeared in his hand, emitting a pink-white light that was imperceptible to the naked eye.
He walked out of the dark room to a hall in the northwest direction of the Xunfeng Palace, pushed the window open a little, and watched the Xuanwu Gate play the jade flute, a sound that ordinary people could not detect with the naked eye spread, and his body was also pink and white.
Outside the gate of the Kaoru Temple
"Your Highness has started playing Xiao Le again!"
"Hey! I don't know if our Royal Highness is unfortunate or lucky, it is said that when the mother was in labor, only our Royal Highness was born auspicious before her death, it should be a good thing, but I don't know why our Royal Highness was born with the hair color that those inferior people have. ”
"Ahem, you be careful that these words can't be said nonsense, if Your Majesty and Niangniang listen to it, I'm afraid, you will be like the group of people back then."
One of the guards gestured to the other, and the two ended the conversation, leaving only the sound of the flute to spread around.
The next day
Li Lingmo was alone, untied with an ink-colored hairband to tie his hair into a ponytail, and stood at the door of the Xunfeng Hall wearing an ink-colored half-arm, waiting for something, only to see Wu Zetian and Li Zhi appear in ordinary clothes on the aisle not far away after a while, as if they were still talking about something.
It didn't take long for them to come to the Xunfeng Hall and saw Li Lingmo wearing an ink-colored thin shirt, an ink-colored hairband tied his hair into a ponytail, and the gold-dusted white ponytail swayed gently in the breeze.
"Mo'er, ready?" Li Zhi said with a smile.
"Hmmm! What about my brother? Isn't he together? Li Lingmo asked.
"He's waiting in the carriage!" Wu Zetian said softly.
"Alright, let's go!" Li Zhi said very blandly.
Li Zhiwu Zetian took Li Lingmo out of the Xunfeng Hall and walked towards the Xuanwu Gate.
Because of Li Lingmo's relationship, Li Zhi also specially instructed the eunuchs who managed the various physical objects in the harem next to him after the early court, and asked him to inform the maids of each palace and hall that the eunuchs were strictly forbidden to enter and leave the Ganlu Gate half an hour before they traveled and half an hour after returning to the palace.
On the way to the Xuanwu Gate, Li Lingmo didn't see anyone, so he thought about why? After all, it was because of his hair, and his father, Li Zhi, ordered that no one should be allowed to go out of the Manna Gate when arranging this trip.

"Hey! Everything is a problem with this hair, if only there was some way to be normal black in front of people, not the white hair color of this gold dust. ”
He said secretly in his heart, and walked to the inner gate square of Xuanwu Gate, he looked at Xuanwu Gate as the computer restoration map of the previous life, the waves were magnificent, and the soldiers who were guarding here stood at the gate of the camp on both sides solemnly.
Not far from the main gate of Xuanwu Gate, he saw the carriage that secretly took him back to the palace not long ago, and after Li Zhi and Wu Zetian signaled to the soldiers in the camps left and right, they took Li Lingmo to the carriage.
They stood next to the carriage, only to see a soldier move the stool on the side, and the three of them entered the carriage, only to see Li Hong sitting in it bored.
"Big brother!"
"Hong'er! Let your brother do a good job when you get to the horse farm."
He saw Li Lingmo walking in and was about to do something, only to see Wu Zetian and Li Zhi coming in and speaking; He didn't act again, just sat quietly beside Li Lingmo.
After walking for some time, they came to a heavily guarded pasture, and they got out of the wagon and went to the stables.
Li Hong opened his mouth and said, "Hong'er! Mo'er! Do you know what you're doing today? ”
"Horseback riding!" Li Hong said happily.
"Brother, do you know how to ride? Don't get too excited, we're all too small, unless we're foals, we can't control those big horses, we can only sit in our father's arms and feel it. ”
Li Lingmo said rationally, but he didn't expect that Li Zhi had already prepared the foal for the two of them.
"Ahem!"
Li Zhi coughed lightly twice and said, "Hong'er! You're right, it's horseback riding, but what Mo'er said makes a lot of sense, you are too young to be very dangerous on a big horse, and if you are not careful, you will fall off the horse, so today is just me riding a horse with your mother, and you will rest here! ”
"Ahh
The two were a little lost after hearing Li Zhi's words, the corners of Wu Zetian's mouth rose slightly, and he didn't speak, just watched quietly, she gently pushed Li Zhi with her hand and asked him to finish the next words, Li Zhi saw their expressions, smiled secretly at Wu Zetian, and then spoke.
"Ahem, you actually have a chance to touch the horse today, but it's not the big pony but the unweaned foal."
"Wow! Where's the foal? ”
Li Lingmo and Li Hong asked at the same time, they originally heard that they couldn't ride a horse, but when they heard their father say that they could have their own horses, the original loss was gone.
Li Zhi didn't say much when he saw the two little guys like this, and clapped his hands twice, only to see the two of them leading two sweaty horses to Li Lingmo and Li Hong.
"Wow! The ponies are so much taller than us! It should all be four feet five! I'm only three feet tall, and my brother is only three feet tall, and I'm only three feet tall. ”
Li Hong ran to the two foals and looked at them, and said excitedly.
"These two foals are produced by the combination of mules and horses and horses that were supplied to your grandfather in the early days of the Dawan Kingdom, and recently gave birth to foals, so I chose two foals for you, one skull-colored and one Qi-colored, and then you choose one for yourself to domesticate and wean, but remember to cultivate feelings with horses for a long time."
"Father, I want these foals!"
After Li Zhi finished speaking, Li Lingmo walked directly to the horse with a coat similar to blue, and gently stroked it with his hand and said to Li Zhi.
"Then this one is mine!"
Li Hong happily ran to the other foal, gently stroking it with his hand, Wu Zetian and Li Zhi quietly watched their actions and did not make a sound.
"Then they belong to you, it's up to you what you want to go, do you want to ride them?"
"Yes!"
Li Zhi motioned to the groom holding the foal, and after seeing Li Zhi's signal, they handed over the reins of the foal in their hands to Li Lingmo and Li Hong, and gave some precautions before leaving.
"Mo'er, Hong'er, you just lead them in the horse farm to cultivate feelings, and we will go to the outside ranch to ride and shoot and wait for us to come back."
After explaining, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian went to the stable to lead their horses out, pulled the reins, stepped on the stirrups and jumped up and sat on the saddle.
"Driving"
I saw Li Zhiwu Zetian riding a horse and leaving the stable and running towards the pasture grassland.
"From now on, you will be called Qingying! Let's go! Let's go outside for a run."
"Hiss~" Qingying responded to Li Lingmo with a cheerful hiss.
He grabbed the reins and stepped on the stirrup with his left foot, and sat down on the saddle that had been prepared.
"Dada~"
I saw Qingying carrying Li Lingmo and slowly leaving the stable, thinking about the direction in which Li Zhi and the others left.
Li Hong saw that Li Lingmo was also riding his own foal and slowly left in the direction of his parents, he carefully did it on the horseback, held the reins with both hands, and said tremblingly to the ears of the colt under him: "Chasing the shadow, let's go!"
chased after Li Lingmo, who had not gone far, and shouted loudly: "Big brother! Wait for me! ”
