"Yan'er" The eldest princess of Pingyang stretched out her hand to caress Li Yan's delicate cheeks, showing her gloom in front of such a young and beautiful woman. Before I knew it, she was nearly half a hundred years old.

Liu Jing straightened her waist without letting people notice, she was the noble eldest princess of the Han Dynasty, even if the years gradually left her, she was still noble and noble, and people did not dare to look at her.

I don't know why, Liu Jing suddenly remembered her aunt, Princess Tao. When she was a girl, she leaned on her mother's side and watched her aunt dance with long sleeves and dance with ease, and she admired her very much. But after such a capable aunt sent her daughter to the queen's phoenix throne, she gradually became paranoid and short-sighted. In the end, Gillian was abolished.

After Che'er became the emperor, she also learned from her aunt to choose beautiful women for her younger brother, and finally supported the Wei family, which should be enough to be proud. It's just that now, is she also like her aunt back then, falling into some kind of paranoia and finally unable to extricate herself?

Liu Jing's heart vaguely flashed these obscure thoughts, but she asked lightly on her face: "Yan'er, do you know my intention to bring you back to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion back then?" ”

Li Yan didn't speak, but her starry eyes became brighter, and even a hint of red flashed on her face, which was extremely moving.

She asked herself, she was a smart woman in ice and snow, although the eldest princess of Pingyang never told her what she meant, but Li Yan was very clear about her appearance. And who doesn't know the girls in the world that now in Weiyang Palace, the queen who sits dignified in the Jiaofang Palace, and the queen of the world walks out of this Pingyang Hou Mansion. And her original identity was just a singer of the Pingyang Hou Mansion.

There is no joy in giving birth to a boy, and there is no anger in giving birth to a girl. Wei Zifu dominates the world.

Although Wei Zifu has fallen out of favor over the years. But from the singer to the queen. Such a miraculous experience itself is a legend in the minds of countless women.

"Yan'er." Liu Jing smiled and said, "I know that you are the smartest and smartest, and you can see through a little." Today, this princess may wish to pick out the words with you, and this princess hopes to send you to His Majesty's side, with your appearance and qualifications. When you can get the favor of Your Majesty. ”

Li Yan took a breath and said softly, "Thank you, eldest princess, for your love and support," If you also have such thoughts, you must know that in the future, your opponent will not be the queen of the ground guard in the Jiaofang Palace, nor the new beauty in the Weiyang Palace, but. Liu Jing said coldly, word by word: "Apocalypse Chen." ”

"Empress Chen?" Li Yan looked up. I can't help but be a little surprised. Although the Son of Heaven's exclusive favor for Empress Chen is not a secret among the nobles of Chang'an. The common people don't necessarily know much. In their minds. After the abolition, it is just yesterday's yellow flower.

"Not bad. Empress Chen's ability to firmly occupy His Majesty's favor at the age of forty is really not to be underestimated. Yan'er, if you want to have a place in Your Majesty's heart, you must defeat her. ”

"So" Li Yan lowered her eyes slightly, and my look of pity was heartbreaking. She asked softly, "The eldest princess has known Empress Chen since she was a child, what kind of person is Empress Chen?" ”

Liu Jing couldn't help but have an approving look on her face, "Yan'er is indeed smart." She thought for a while and said, "If it is Gillian before returning to the palace, she is just a beautiful woman, with a noisy arrogance and willful temper. She frowned slightly, "It's just that I gradually can't understand this Gillian after returning to the palace." She's still so pretty, and she hasn't aged at all. No, she seems to be more beautiful than before, and the calm Gillian has a light and azure temperament, as if everything does not linger in her heart, including ......, "including her brother of the Supreme Emperor."

Li Yan gradually raised her eyebrows, with the short words of the eldest princess of Pingyang, she couldn't piece together the appearance of Empress Chen. And if she can't know herself, she will lose half of this battle.

"Okay," Liu Jing smiled, "Yan'er go down first." Remember, you can't afford to lose your posture and posture training. The other princesses will have the land ready for you. ”

"Yes." Li Yan bowed her head tamely and said, "Then Yan'er will go down first." By the way," she seemed to remember something, and suddenly raised her head, and said with a smile: "In three days, it will be Yan'er's brother's birthday, and Yan'er wants to go home and ask the princess for permission." ”

"Nope." Liu Jing remembered what Chen Ajiao seemed to know a lot about Li Yan in Shanglin Garden, worried that if Li Yan left the house, she would be taken away by the Chen family, and said immediately. After a while, he saw Li Yan's surprised expression, and hurriedly slowed down his tone and said, "Yan'er's face is stunning, it's better not to go out easily." I can let your brother and brother come in and visit you that day. ”

It was Li Yannian's birthday, but he wanted him to come to the Hou Mansion to celebrate with him, which was really unreasonable. Li Yan pondered lightly in her heart, but as long as the family is reunited, it is the same wherever it is. So he smiled and said, "Thank you, eldest princess." ”

Three days later, a carriage took the Li brothers into the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. Li Yan saw her brother under the corridor, and the younger brother rejoiced in her heart, and called, "Brother." He welcomed them into his boudoir.

Li Yannian also smiled and said, "I haven't seen Yan'er for a few months, and she has grown taller and more beautiful than before." ”

Li Yan couldn't help but say with a little burn on her face: "Why do your brothers and sisters say these things. ”

"Really," Li Guangli took her hand and said innocently, "My second sister is the most beautiful woman in the world." ”

Li Yan was overjoyed, but when she caught a glimpse of a strange look on her brother's face, she asked, "What's wrong with my brother?" ”

"It's nothing," Li Yannian slowly lowered his eyes and said, "A few days ago, I saw a woman who was comparable to my sister. "Oh?" Li Yan smiled and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"It's the former Empress Chen."

Li Yan felt her heart sink slowly, and asked lightly, "Brother, have you seen her with your own eyes?" ”

"Hmm." Li Yannian is not a stupid person, and he has guessed a point or two about the intention of the eldest princess of Pingyang to take in her sister. At this time, I felt a little unbearable, but after thinking about it, it is better to tell my sister the truth now than to catch my sister off guard. "A few days ago, His Majesty set up a banquet in Shanglin Yuan and Bailiang Terrace, and my brother was edicted to play the piano and serve the banquet on the side. Empress Chen was by His Majesty's side. ”

"That'...... My brother thinks it's Queen Chen who is beautiful. Or is the younger sister pretty? ”

Li Yannian thought for a while and said, "Each wins." My sister is young and gorgeous. Chen Niangniang is quiet and distant. ”

Li Yan asked casually, "Your Majesty...... Do you love Queen Chen very much? "yes. Since the second year of Motokari. Empress Chen has been a pet for nearly three years. By the way, Empress Chen still asked about her sister. ”

Li Yan was stunned: "How could she know about me?" ”

"Brother doesn't know" After many days, Li Yannian was still puzzled. "When Empress Chen heard my name, she asked me if I had a sister."

"Brother answered truthfully?" Correct. Li Yannian said: "Now Your Majesty and Chen Niangniang know that I have a sister who lives in the mansion of the eldest princess of Pingyang." ”

What does this mean? Li Yan quickly calculated in her heart. She had intended to lie dormant in the shadows, and then appear in front of His Majesty in the most beautiful posture at the most opportune time, so that His Majesty would never forget. But man is not as good as heaven, and the man who is about to die, and the woman who is about to be hostile both know of her existence in advance. This is extremely bad for her. Not only Empress Chen is on guard, but His Majesty is ....... With her years of studying men to understand a man. Especially a majestic man was delighted by the beautiful woman who suddenly appeared in front of him. It's very easy. But. If you let him know that someone has a deliberate design. Just waiting for him to embark on such a path, I am afraid that it will be extremely unhappy in my heart.

"Okay, okay," Guangli Shangxiao was not interested in what they said, and only pouted: "Today is the eldest brother's birthday, but the second sister is pestering the eldest brother to talk about other people's affairs. ”

Li Yanwan smiled and said, "It's Yan'er's fault." Brother Yan'er toasts you. ”

However, whether it was the eldest princess of Pingyang or Li Yan, they had guessed in their hearts for a long time, and they had not seen Chen Ajiao's actions for a long time, and even the Tangyi Houfu and the chief of the Great Si Nong, who were related to her honor and disgrace, did not move. Gradually, spring has arrived in the fifth year of Motokaku.

This day is also the annual festival of worship. Every household in Chang'an City wants to go to the Weishui River to ward off disasters. It's just that even if Li Yan has a special status in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, she is just a maid and cannot go to the land with her master. The eldest princess of Pingyang pointed to an elderly and reliable grandmother to accompany her to the Weishui River to accompany her family.

Li Yan sat in the carriage and opened the curtain slightly, looking at the countless flying kites on the banks of the Weishui River. Since the first year of Yuanjia, Princess Yuening has flown kites after purification, and kite flying has become a custom in the three places of March. In the distance, there are countless kites flying between the blue sky and white clouds, which are delicate and lovely, which makes people happy to watch.

The gray-clothed young man on the long street led the horse to the corner, greedy for the scenery by the Weishui River, and bumped into an old man on the street without paying attention, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry." ”； The old man didn't dare to accept the salute, turned sideways and avoided it, and looked terrified: "Second Young Master Chen, how dare you work for you?" It's the small people who are not careful. ”

Li Yan looked at the grandmother beside her, and said in her ear: "This is Chen Xi, the second young master who is waiting for the concubine of Tangyi." Although he is a concubine, he is talented and more valued, but he is a little stupid and likes to mix with inferior people. She frowned, obviously unimpressed.

Li Yan nodded, took out a silk handkerchief from her arms, and gently threw it out of the window. The silk handkerchief fluttered in the wind and finally landed in front of Chen Xi.

"Miss Li," Mama sank her voice, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles." Li Yan smiled and said, "If you want to know Chen Niangniang's habits, is there a better way than to ask her children and nephews?" You must know that after the first year of Yuanzhen, Chen Niangniang lived in Tangyi Houfu for more than a year. ”

Mama looked at Li Yan in a daze, with deep thought in her eyes. "Mama has always underestimated you," she said lightly, "maybe you can really make a fortune by your majesty's side." ”

Chen Xi picked up the silk handkerchief, only to feel that the tentacles were soft and still had a faint fragrance of beauty. The corner of the silk handkerchief is embroidered with fine stitches and a bamboo is arrogant and upright.

"Girl," he said, "your handkerchief has fallen." ”

The carriage and horse stopped slowly, Mama lifted the curtain and leaned out, only glanced at it, and said, "Thank you, son." ”

"This son" came from the woman's elegant voice in the car, a soft wattle stretched out, took the silk handkerchief from the mother's hand, and said leisurely, "Thank you." ”

Chen Xi was stunned and saw a pair of beautiful eyes in the falling car curtain. Sitting in the car is also veiled, but it can show the beauty and dignity. But what he remembered was that pair of eyes were clear, like the most beautiful moonlight.
