"Seventh brother, seventh brother, where are you going to take me?" In a side hall of Penglai Palace, the little princess Taiping, who was only five years old, took Li Xian's hand and asked in a milky voice.

"Hehe, brother is not going anywhere, don't you want to hear stories? I'll tell you a story today, okay? Li Xian looked at Princess Taiping with a smile, squatted down and said.

"Ahaha, the seventh brother treats me best." Princess Taiping hugged Li Xian's neck and kissed Li Xian happily, but then pouted and said, "But forget it, the stories you tell are all those fierce women, loyal ministers or something, it sounds so boring." ”

But Li Xian laughed and said: "It turns out that my little sister doesn't want to listen to those historical allusions, in this case, can I tell you a good story for my brother?" ”

"Oh? What a good story? Let's listen to it, it's good, the princess has a reward, and if it's not good, the seventh brother will accompany the little sister out of the city to swim in the lake. Although Princess Taiping is young, because she is favored by her parents and followed by a group of wealthy slaves, she has already formed a habit of commanding between her words and deeds, and now she also said a reward to Li Xian.

Li Xian said with a smile: "I don't know how the princess wants to reward the little one?" ”

"Hehe, if your story is good, this princess will give the eighth brother the ice flower hibiscus bracelet given by her mother, I wonder if this deal is a good deal?" Princess Taiping, grinning, took out the style of a generation of princesses, and said to Li Xian, with a little smug in her eyes.

Li Xianyan was taken aback when he heard this, you know, the imperial court at that time stipulated that only jade jewelry can be used above three grades, and this ice flower hibiscus bracelet is a treasure in the jade, it is made of a wonderful ice flower hibiscus jade known as Lantian jade, it is rumored that this jade rough stone is produced in the hot spring export, has the miraculous effect of whitening skin care, the Empress Wu is now more than forty, and the skin is delicate, if more than twenty years old, this bracelet can be said to be indispensable, so it is regarded as a treasure by the Empress Wu.

In addition, this bracelet is worn on the left to nourish the heart, and the right is to nourish the lungs, the prince has always had lung disease, and has spent a lot of money to get this thing many times but can not get it.

However, although this thing is valuable, it is not in Li Xian's eyes, after all, he is now a rich party, as for the gold and jade jewelry, there are more than a cow's hair, and the jade jewelry in his hand is more precious than the ice flower hibiscus bracelet, Li Xian listened to what Princess Taiping said, and the reason why he was startled was mainly because this ice flower hibiscus bracelet was a treasure that the Empress Wu regarded as a treasure, and now it was given to Princess Taiping, which means that it is extraordinary, if he really dares to ask for this thing, I am afraid that it will immediately bring disaster to himself, After all, whether it is the Empress Wu or the crown prince, they are all characters that they are not willing to provoke at present.

Therefore, Li Xiandang shook his head with a smile and said: "You girl is so bold, this Ice Flower Hibiscus Bracelet is a mother's thing, and now that it is given to you, how can you give it to others at will?" What's more, telling stories to my brother and sister is just a deep love between you and my brother and sister, how can I ask for your treasures? That's it, I'm just telling a story, if it's good, you can clap your hands and admire, if you don't listen, your brother will still accompany you out of the city and the lake, how about it? ”

Unexpectedly, Princess Taiping didn't comply, her eyes rolled, and then she said, "This is not fair!" In this way, if the elder brother speaks well, the little sister will sing a song to you, but the little sister has never even sung it in front of her father and mother. ”

"Oh, that's very good." After Li Xian reached an agreement with the other party, he glanced at Princess Taiping, and said with a smile: "I see that my little sister has snow-white skin, and she is my princess of the Tang Dynasty, how about telling you a story of "Snow White"?" ”

"Hmph, the seventh brother is really not a good person, he actually made fun of the little sister, and people ignored you." After Princess Taiping finished speaking, she glanced at Li Xian, turned around and was about to leave.

But seeing Li Xian holding his sister's hand, he said with a smile: "Don't be angry first, this story is not to make fun of you, but from a distant country, the story of that princess is also very moving, I guarantee that you will like it when you hear it, if you don't like it, you will be a horse to ride for your brother." ”

"Hmph, that's what you said." Princess Taiping sat down slowly, and then closed her eyes and listened to Li Xian's story, but in her heart she had already imagined the scene of riding Li Xian as a horse.

"It is said that once upon a time there was a king of a distant land, and he had a beautiful queen, and they gave birth to a daughter, and this daughter was covered with snow-white skin, so she was called Snow White......"

"How can this old witch treat Snow White like this? She is so beautiful and kind...... "Princess Taiping didn't pay much attention to it at first, but then she was slowly attracted by Li Xian's story, and was full of infinite sympathy for Snow White, and scolded the witch queen more than once.

"Seventh brother, do you say that there are really dwarfs in this world?"

"This ......"

"Seventh brother and seventh brother, you said that I should have such a magic mirror, then I will know who is the most beautiful woman in the world, hehe, at that time, Xiaomei must have ordered someone to arrest the most beautiful woman and make her a wife to Seventh Brother."

"Huh? This ......"

"Seventh brother, can you really go to heaven on a broomstick? Can you get one for me? ”

"Uh, hehe......"

"Seventh brother, when Snow White marries the prince, is it called harmony?"

"This..."

After the story was told, Princess Taiping's series of questions made Li Xian cry and laugh, but there was no way to explain to her, until in the end, Li Xian had no choice but to say: "This is called a fairy tale, mainly for children to listen to, it is similar to the myths we hear, they are all imagined by people, but the myths are told to adults." ”

"Hmph, I don't care, you must tell me another fairy tale, if you don't, I will pester my grandmother and ask her to tell me one like this fairy tale." Xiao Taiping pulled Li Xian's sleeve, sprinkled with coquettishness, and said with a small mouth.

"Huh?" Li Xian was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat when he heard this, his cheap grandmother Yang is not an ordinary person, and the degree of shrewdness is no less than that of his daughter Martial Queen, if Xiao Taiping pesters her to tell some fairy tales Gu Shi His so-called fairy tales, I am afraid that the Yang family will definitely be able to interrogate Li Xian from Xiao Taiping about Li Xian's fairy tales, so I am afraid that the secret of Li Xian's crossing will be exposed!

"I'm really shooting myself in the foot." Li Xian secretly smiled bitterly, and had to promise to talk about one more, but Li Xian's eyes rolled, and then said to Xiao Taiping: "Little sister, I will say one more thing, but you have to promise me one condition, otherwise you will kill me and I won't talk about it, hum, I saw these fairy tales from an overseas strange book, even my grandmother must not be able to tell them." ”

"Huh? So that's the case, then, the seventh brother, you say, no matter what the conditions, the little sister will agree. Princess Taiping was anxious to hear the story, and seeing that there was no other branch to tell such a story, she had to compromise.

I saw Li Xian laugh and said: "You can tell fairy tales for your brother, but you have to remember that only the two of us know about telling fairy tales for your brother, you can't tell other people, and you can't tell these stories to others, this is the secret of the two of us." ”

"Alright then, I promise you." Xiao Taiping originally thought that it was what kind of condition, but now that the condition is so simple, he naturally agreed happily.

Li Xian saw that Xiao Taiping agreed, so he high-fived her and swore an oath, and then said: "I told the story of a princess, and today I will tell the story of an ordinary little girl, the name of this story is "Cinderella": It is said that a long time ago, in a distant country, there was a merchant's wife who was seriously ill, and before she died, she called her daughter to the bedside ......"

"Why is it a stepmother again? Hmph, those stepmothers don't have a good thing, they all bully kind and beautiful children, alas, this Cinderella is really admirable, a person who has done so much work without complaint, if I were that Cinderella, I'm afraid I would have found a way to escape. ”

This time, Xiao Taiping didn't ask those strange questions, but sent some emotion like an adult, although those feelings didn't look like a five or six-year-old child, but Li Xian was very happy to hear it, because he finally found an excuse.

So Li Xian first echoed two sentences along with Xiao Taiping, and then said: "Actually, little sister, you don't know, there are many little girls in this world, who have the same experience as Cinderella, they are bullied, and they have lived a life of lack of clothing and food since they were young, they have to work hard, and they are too tired to raise their heads at a young age, but they don't have the same good luck as Cinderella, because Cinderella still has someone to help her find the prince, and these little girls can only live that kind of hard life for the rest of their lives." ”

"Huh? Is this true? Didn't they all say that my Datang was peaceful? How can anyone still live a miserable life? And those little girls? Xiao Taiping's eyes widened, and he asked Li Xian with a look of disbelief.

"Hehe, don't you believe it, that brother told you that in our palace, there are some girls who live a miserable life like Cinderella, but they are also as kind-hearted as Cinderella, and they do a lot of work hard......"

"Really? Seventh brother, take me to see it. When Xiao Taiping heard this, he couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly shook Li Xian's arm and begged Li Xian to take her to have a look.

"Okay, yes, but little sister, you have to promise, no matter who asks about today's events in the future, it can't be said to be a brother's idea, you don't know, those little girls are all children of sinners, the place where they live is called the court, we can't go casually, the mother knows it, she will be spanked."

"Huh?" When Xiao Taiping heard Li Xian mention Empress Wu, a trace of fear flashed on his little face, because Empress Wu did fight a few times because she was disobedient, but in the end, the idea of wanting to see "Cinderella" took over, and finally nodded and said: "I promise my brother that I will never tell this matter." ”

"Well, when Mother asked, you said you had accidentally run there." Li Xian nodded, and then began to carefully teach Xiao Taiping how to lie to Empress Wu...... (To be continued.) )
