In the inner courtyard to the east, Li Xuan lifted the heavy curtain and walked in, and the heating came to his face.

Li Xuan stopped slightly, and then, Princess Taiping's delicate voice sounded in the inner room: "It's better to be here than Uncle Wang, Brother Wang, the imperial grandson won't even let Taiping get close...... Aunt Wang, my cousin looks so tender. ”

In the strange frolicking sound, Li Xuan, who was in a cyan Confucian robe, walked into the inner room with a warm face.

Several pairs of eyes in the room looked back at the same time.

The three cardamom young and pretty girls, their heads together, originally looked at Li Zhiming in the cradle with a curious expression, but now they all raised their heads and subconsciously looked at Li Xuan.

The leader is wearing a bright yellow skirt, with a golden butterfly hairpin, and an innocent face, it is Princess Taiping.

Next to him, wearing a cyan skirt, a little thin and slightly nervous, it was Li Xuan's cousin Zhao Huan.

The one in the middle, with a baby fat face, is Li Xuan's wife and sister, Liu Qiongyu.

"Your Highness!" Li Xuan gently bowed her hand to Princess Taiping, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Prime Minister have left, when will the princess return to the palace?" ”

Li Xuan's third son was born on the same day, and he was immediately a guest house.

Such happy events are rare in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Not to mention, Li Xuan is also the king of the clan, the governor of the border state, and the emperor's minister.

Even Li Xian and Li Dan visited at the same time.

And they also brought characters that gave Li Xuan a headache.

Princess Taiping.

When Li Xian was about to return to the palace just now, he was already going to take Princess Taiping with him, but Princess Taiping insisted on staying coquettishly.

Li Xian was helpless, and in the end he could only ask Li Xuan to let Princess Taiping stay longer.

After that, let Li Xuan personally send Princess Taiping back.

For his sister, who has strange habits and is quite favored by her parents, Li Xian really can't bear it.

……

Hearing Li Xuan's inquiry, Princess Taiping looked at Li Xuan, and suddenly said with a quirky smile: "Uncle Wang, Taiping wants to stay with you a little longer, is it okay?" ”

Li Xuan was slightly stunned, Princess Taiping's words were not just waiting for a while.

"Your Highness can stay as long as you want, the entire Kaihuafang is a child of the clan, so you don't need to worry about safety, but after all, you need to report to Your Majesty." Li Xuan's words were very gentle and cautious.

Princess Taiping's eyes suddenly showed infinite surprise, she didn't expect Li Xuan to agree to her request.

Zhao Huan on the side was puzzled, and Liu Qiongyu clapped her hands heartlessly.

The three of them immediately giggled.

Only Liu Jinyu glanced at Li Xuan angrily, as if she had seen through the hidden meaning of his words at a glance.

However, Princess Taiping finally said with some uncertainty: "Is it really possible, can Taiping really stay here with Uncle Wang for a while?" ”

Li Xuan smiled, then turned around and said in a low voice: "Write the book and fold it, this king will sign it and send it to the palace...... By the way, how long will the princess stay in the palace? ”

Princess Taiping was stunned for a moment, and then said a little pitifully: "Okay later, Uncle Wang, Taiping doesn't want to go back so early?" ”

"Write it clearly, just say that the princess is going to spend the night in King Peng's mansion tonight." Li Xuan turned his head directly, and Li Bi, who came out of the shadows, had already retreated quickly.

"Uncle Wang, Taiping didn't say he wanted to spend the night." Princess Taiping hurriedly waved her hand, very deliberately, but there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"It's okay, the minister's fold is handed over, it depends on whether His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven allow it." After a slight pause, seeing Princess Taiping's reaction and her expression changed slightly, Li Xuan said: "Maybe Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven understand Your Highness's boredom, and let Your Highness stay for a while." ”

Li Xuan straightened up and said seriously: "Those who ask for the top will get it, and those who ask for it will get the bottom...... His Royal Highness said that he would stay overnight, but the Queen of Heaven would not allow it, and perhaps His Highness would be allowed to stay until dark. ”

Princess Taiping's eyes showed infinite surprise.

It was the first time she had heard this statement, and she nodded abruptly.

Li Xuan arched his hand and said: "Regardless of whether His Highness stays or not, the minister will let people set aside the room first, if His Highness rests in the palace tonight, Huan'er and Qiongyu are afraid that they will also stay with His Highness." ”

"So, thank you Uncle Wang." Princess Taiping saluted Li Xuan seriously.

Li Xuan smiled and bowed slightly, and then slowly retreated.

Princess Taiping turned to look at Zhao Huan and Liu Qiongyu, and immediately hugged the two.

Three girls of the same age, like flowers and jade, hugged each other and frolicked, looking very eye-catching.

……

Walking out of the courtyard, Li Xuan made a little arrangement, and then went to the study with a thoughtful face.

In the study, Li Bi is writing a pen.

Seeing Li Xuan coming in, Li Bi hurriedly got up: "Lord Wang, do you still want to write?" ”

"Go on, it's hard for the princess to come out and relax, Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven should allow it, at most send more people." Li Xuan waved his hand, not caring.

Because he sensed in advance that there were many guests arriving in the past few days, the palace had already advanced and carefully packed up.

I'm not afraid that anyone will be discovered.

"Yes!" Li Bi bowed his head and continued to write.

As for Li Xuan's calculations deep down, Li Bi doesn't care.

Li Xuan walked to the table and sat down, then leaned back slightly, put her hands on the table, and looked calmly ahead.

Many things can be seen in small ways.

Today, Princess Taiping suddenly wants to stay in Peng Wangfu for a while, in addition to being usually bored, I am afraid there are other reasons.

The current Princess Taiping is fourteen years old and a fair lady.

Because of the love of the emperor and the Empress Wu, up to now, she has not yet decided to marry, but it shouldn't be long before she thinks about it.

In the blink of an eye, Princess Taiping will be sixteen.

At the age of sixteen, although it will not be married, at least the marriage is also prepared.

What's more, she is the only princess in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Countless clans up and down the Manchu Dynasty are all staring at each other.

Everyone wants to pick the most precious jewel in the crown of the empire.

So it's definitely not too late, especially when compared to the emperor's physical condition.

Although Li Zhi's body looks fine now, to be honest, Li Xuan knows in his heart that the emperor is approaching the limit of his life step by step.

It may be later than it was originally in history, but not too long.

Therefore, before he died, Li Zhi may want to see what he wants to see most is that his daughter Princess Taiping marries a wishful husband.

……

Li Xuan knocked lightly on the table, he could think that after Li Xian gave birth to a child, even if the emperor was just a few words that he couldn't remember, it would be amplified and spread in the palace, and finally reached the ears of Princess Taiping.

A fourteen-year-old girl suddenly had to face these problems, and she naturally couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

In the deep palace, there are not many teachers around Princess Taiping.

With questions, the only ones who could ask, apart from the emperor and the queen of heaven, were actually only two people.

One is the crown princess Wei, and the other is the princess Dou.

Princess Xiang Dou is a docile woman who doesn't like to talk much, and she can't get along with the chattering Princess Taiping.

Crown Princess Merriam-Webster is a person who seems to be lively and is also willing to win over people, but when it comes to scoring.

Now that the crown prince is newly established, she probably doesn't have much heart to win over Princess Taiping.

Just looking at Princess Taiping's boredom here in Li Xuan, you can see one or two.

The thoughts of the daughter's family, especially when it comes to marriage, are even more chaotic.

Didn't you see that Princess Taiping left Zhao Huan and Liu Qiongyu all behind today?

The taste of using the two of them as a shield is simply not too strong.

This is obviously something, I want to ask Liu Jinyu, but I haven't opened my mouth for a while.

Li Xuan has a good relationship with Li Xian, Li Xian, and Li Dan, and it is not bad to ask Liu Jinyu.

Princess Taiping is still very clever.

She is also the only one among their siblings who has not really suffered in the future.

Even if it weren't for the early death of her husband, she wouldn't have been married to a son of the martial arts.

……

Li Xuan looked at the window flute shining in front of him, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Princess Taiping is a character whose true value has been overlooked.

Her role is wide-ranging.

It can even be said that she was a figure who could really stand up to the girder during the post-martial arts period, after Li Xian and Li Dan were deposed.

In the original history, the people of the time thought that Empress Wu was the emperor, and it was already an outlier, how could they think of letting Princess Taiping, the daughter of Empress Wu, be the empress.

On the contrary, Li Xuan's vision is much broader.

The empress is not a big deal, as long as the empress's son follows the surname Li, he can accept Princess Taiping as the heir to the throne, even temporarily......

But the Empress Wu ......

Li Xuan shook his head slightly, all this is still far away.

Now is not the time to talk about these things at all, the current Princess Taiping is still very young.

Now she is more immersed in the love of her youngest daughter.

It's not so easy to nurture her ambitions.

The key is to be careful of the eyes of Empress Wu and the emperor, they will definitely not want Princess Taiping to become Li Xuan's pawn on the stage of court politics.

However, it is never too late to calculate.

Li Xian...... Thinking of Li Xian, Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

Even if he, Xue Yuanchao and others tried their best to enlighten Li Xian, Li Xian lacked the ambition to kill and make a decision after all.

Without this ambition, it would be difficult for Li Xian to hold on at a critical moment.

Li Dan grew up too late again,

So Li Xuan needs to have another choice, Princess Taiping.

But how to lay it out, he needs to think about it from now on.

At this time, Li Zhi, Empress Wu, and even anyone in the court could not have imagined that Li Xuan would put his mind on Princess Taiping at this time.

Even at this time, they couldn't imagine what role Princess Taiping could play.

Don't rush, take your time.

……

"Bang bang bang!" Princess Taiping peeked in from behind the door of the study, with a small face the size of a palm, and asked with a smile: "Uncle Wang, can Taiping come in?" ”

Li Xuan put down the "Historical Records" in his hand, and he looked at Quwo Daiyi, the real reason for the decline of the Jin royal family before the three families were divided.

Li Xuan put the history book aside, stood up, and arched his hand with a smile: "Your Highness, please." ”

"Uncle Wang!" Princess Taiping entered the door, and several beautiful maids stood at the door, and the door was wide open.

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, gave up his position, and arched his hand: "Your Highness, please take a seat." ”

"Just now there was news from the palace that the queen mother has allowed Taiping to stay at Uncle Wang's house." Princess Taiping said, from the side of the table, around to the back of the table, with a curious look at the books on the table, "Historical Records", Qu Wo Daiyi.

Princess Taiping didn't pay much attention to it, just glanced at it and passed by.

She didn't just let the table sit down, but walked out again after going around the circle.

sat down on the low couch on the left side, and even sat there with his knees crossed, before he looked up at Li Xuan and asked, "Uncle Wang, can Taiping ask you a few questions?" ”

"His Royal Highness asked, and the minister naturally answered everything, but there are some questions about his daughter's family, and it is more appropriate for His Highness to ask Sanniang." Li Xuan's expression was cautious, and at this time, not to mention the entire mansion, but also around the entire study, there were countless people listening.

Every word Li Xuan said would be passed back to the palace.

Once he said the wrong thing, or revealed something that he shouldn't have, it would immediately reach the ears of the emperor.

When the time comes, the emperor thunders, and Li Xuan will immediately suffer a heavy blow.

"Taiping has already asked Aunt Wang, and now I want to ask Uncle Wang." Princess Taiping raised her head, looked at Li Xuan, and asked with some pity: "Uncle Wang, can't your daughter's family be with her parents forever?" ”

Li Xuan's eyes were stunned for a moment, and then his face turned cold: "Did someone say anything nonsense around His Highness?" ”
