1 Chapter 1
Autumn, September, Daming Palace.
There was a thin quilt spread out on the bed, a small pile of clothes was placed at the foot of the bed, a screen was placed on the right side of the room, and a soft couch was placed by the window on the left, and two half-old books were placed on the collapse.
A few rays of light came through the window, illuminating the room.
On the couch sat a girl about five or six years old, the girl was wearing a full-breasted skirt, a light green placket and a red long skirt, her hair was tied into a bun at will, and the edge of the bun was only decorated with a flower hairpin, plus the child's unique baby fat and the five-year-old child's five short figures, it was as cute as a small glutinous rice ball.
The girl was holding the book and reading, but her face was not happy, but her brows were slightly wrinkled.
"Alas, whose princess still has to worry about her life all day long." Li Changan was upset when he read the book, and couldn't help but mumble and complain.
But there is no way, who made her a princess born at the wrong time.
Originally, she happened to follow the graduate tutor who had just hugged her thigh to participate in the neighborhood friendship in the tutor's community, but it rained heavily while eating, and then after a flash of lightning...... She came to Chang'an.
Not Chang'an in the twenty-first century, but Chang'an in the seventh century.
Good news, dressed as a princess of the Tang Dynasty who was born in the prosperous era of Kaiyuan.
The bad news is that the little princess who is not favored until she is five years old and has never even seen her own father is in her twenties just in time for the Anshi Rebellion.
Li Changan doesn't know much about the Xuanzong Dynasty, but he also knows some. For example, before An Lushan reached Chang'an, Tang Xuanzong ran away with Yang Guifei, and the famous Ma Weipo Incident occurred on the way.
However, the worst of this catastrophe was not Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei.
It was Chang'an, which was abandoned by the emperor.
An Lushan led his generals to plunder Chang'an and slaughtered countless kings, grandsons and people. Li Changan didn't know whether the twenty-ninth daughter of Tang Xuanzong was dead or alive in the original historical trajectory, and she didn't have much in-depth understanding of the history of this time.
But she remembered a poem.
"I don't want to ask my name, but I beg to be a slave."
The author is Du Fu, written during his capture in Chang'an, and the name of the poem is "Mourning for the King and Sun".
Lucky enough to be a slave to save his life, but bad luck was dismantled by five horses.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't end well.
"Chang'an, it's time!" A female voice outside the door sounded out of breath.
Li Changan stuffed the book under his pillow, put on his shoes, and straightened his clothes in front of the bronze mirror before hurriedly going out.
Outside the door was a thin woman waving at her.
"Why did my mother come out, the autumn wind is cold, and it's not good to blow your body." Li Changan walked up to the woman, helped her back to the house.
The woman glared at her, "Can your mother and I be blown sick by a gust of wind?" ”
The voice is crisp, but it inevitably reveals a lack of breath.
The woman looked up, but under her chestnut hair showed a pair of brown eyes that were slightly lighter than black.
He has a high nose bridge, chestnut hair, light-colored pupils, and skin that is too fair compared to the Tang people.
Cao Ye Naji, a bearded girl, her mother.
Before Li Changan could speak again, the woman suddenly coughed violently with her cheeks flushed and clutched her chest, Li Changan's face crossed a trace of sorrow, and then she looked up with a smile on her face.
She pretended to be relaxed and said: "My mother forgot to drink medicine again, and she always avoided medical treatment like this, which is not good." ”
As he spoke, he helped Cao Ye Naji into the main room.
"There is still half an hour before the hour arrives, I will decoct the medicine for A-Niang first and then go to Concubine Hui." Li Changan took out a packet of medicine from the cabinet with his feet, lit the tandoor, and scooped a spoonful of water and medicine into the medicine pot.
Cao Ye Naji leaned on the couch, watching his little daughter busy with sorrow.
"It's not in a hurry to drink medicine for your mother, you don't have to make an appointment with Concubine Wu Hui too late."
"Concubine Hui won't take me out of the palace in person, I guess it's just to find a female official to take me out of the palace to play." Li Changan sat on the crescent stool and watched the medicine.
The boiling medicine should have been placed in the dining room, but in order to chat with Cao Ye Naji while boiling the medicine, Li Changan specially asked for a small medicine stove to put in the main room, which can not only boil the medicine but also keep warm.
Anyway, no one will come to this small courtyard, and these things are placed by her.
"It's better to go early than late." Cao Ye Naji sighed and didn't say anything more, she knew that Li Changan knew it in her heart.
"Is the dagger ready?" Nahime Sono moved on to other topics.
Li Changan patted the side of his boot and grinned: "Here." ”
Cao Ye Naji nodded with satisfaction: "Although Chang'an is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it is not without danger, I almost ...... when I went out with my brother to play without telling my grandfather."
But he was only halfway through the sentence and then stopped talking.
She only played in Chang'an for a few days, and then danced to the Tang Dynasty, and was left in the Daming Palace by the emperor, and never saw the sky outside the Daming Palace again. She was originally a Hu girl, she had never been to Chang'an before the age of eighteen, and she was trapped in this magnificent Daming Palace after the age of eighteen, and she probably didn't know as much about Chang'an as an ordinary palace person, and there was nothing to tell her daughter.
The medicine had already been boiled, Li Changan poured the medicinal soup in the medicine pot into a bowl and brought it to the table and said: "I'm leaving, my mother remember to take the medicinal soup while it's hot." ”
Cao Ye Naji nodded, and after seeing that Li Changan's skirt corner had not entered, he got up and picked up the medicine bowl, and raised his hand to pour it into the slag bucket.
The door was pushed open again, and Li Changan probed in and stared at Cao Ye Naji.
To be precise, he stared at the bowl of medicinal soup in Cao Ye's hand that was almost dumped into the trash.
"Huh?" Li Changan squinted, but there was a threat in his nasal voice.
Cao Ye Naji raised his eyebrows: "It's really bold, the cub who grew up eating my milk still cares about your mother?" ”
In his hand, he took the medicine bowl to his mouth very honestly and drank it all.
Li Changan turned around and left, and did not forget to close the door before leaving.
Cao Ye Naji retched a few times after Li Changan left, but failed to vomit the medicinal soup as he wished, so he could only retreat, open the small window, and lean against the window to blow the cold wind, which caused a few coughs after a while.
She was already very weak, and the longing for her homeland and the worries of the deep palace for the past few years had crushed her spirit and body, but Cao Ye Nahime felt that she was not weak enough......
She had to get sicker.
Li Changan soon came to Concubine Wu Hui's bedroom, different from the remote courtyard where she and Cao Ye Naji lived, the Sanqing Hall where Concubine Wu Hui lived was magnificent, with more than a dozen large and small halls, and the furnishings were all precious things that could be seen at a glance, among which the palace eunuchs shuttled through it, but no one looked up at her curiously, just doing their duties in an orderly manner.
Inhaling slightly, there is a sandalwood fragrance into the nose, and I don't know how much sandalwood is burned to smoke the fragrance of this huge palace.
There is already a beautiful female official waiting for her here.
"Bright Moon!" When Li Changan saw his acquaintance, he immediately smiled and squinted his eyes to greet him.
Mingyue is the female official next to Concubine Wu Hui, her grade is not high, but she is friendly, Li Changan comes to play on weekdays, and she receives most of them.
Mingyue bowed her head slightly, and then spoke: "The lady has something to do today, and I asked the slave to tell the princess that she doesn't need to see the lady today." ”
Although Li Changan is just a princess who Tang Xuanzong himself doesn't remember having such a daughter, Mingyue still respects Li Changan.
The two of them took a carriage to build a Fumen and went straight to Pingkangfang.
Among the fang markets in Chang'an, Pingkangfang is the most prosperous, and the powerful people play in Pingkangfang on weekdays.
Li Changan leaned on the side of the carriage window and lifted the curtain to look at the scenery on the street.
The worst carts on this street are also ox carts, ox carts, horse-drawn carts, chariots, and all kinds of seven-spice carts made of precious wood and decorated with precious gold and silver.
"Chang'an Avenue is even narrow and sloping, and the green cow and white horse are seven incense cars." Li Changan looked at the BMW cars coming and going on the street, and couldn't help but whisper.
The carriage happened to pass by with a sedan chair, and there was a beautiful woman holding a pipa sitting on the car, as if she heard Li Changan reciting a poem, raised her head slightly, looked at it with her eyes, and smiled at Li Changan with her lips while holding the pipa, and gently plucked the pipa with her bare hands, and her lips opened lightly:
"The jade chariot crosses the main place, and the golden whip flows to the Hou family......"
But it was sung, which attracted passers-by to stop and listen.
This is a poem by Lu Zhaolin, the fourth jie of the early Tang Dynasty, Lu Zhaolin wanted to stay in Chang'an as an official and failed to keep it, but his poems stayed in Chang'an.
Li Changan listened to the music and became smaller and smaller, until the sedan chair that Le Ji was sitting on disappeared from her sight, and the sound of the music disappeared completely.
"Mingyue, I want to go to the study." Li Changan turned his head and said to Mingyue in the carriage.
Therefore, this Zhai is in Xuanyangfang, not in Pingkangfang, Pingkangfang is too lively, but less elegant, although Xuanyangfang is not so prosperous, but it is much quieter.
"It would be nice to buy a shop here." Li Changan looked at the elegant environment around him.
Mingyue said with a smile: "If Twenty-Nine Niang wants to buy a shop, it is best to Pingkangfang." ”
"The shop in Pingkang Square is too expensive." Li Changan sighed.
"It's a little expensive, but it's nothing to people like us." Mingyue still knows a little about the thoughts of her master, Concubine Wu Hui, and she is also happy to sell Li Changan, "The noble man mentioned to me by chance before, Twenty-nine Niang has grown up, and she should also buy some properties." ”
Li Changan simply blinked: "I'm only five years old, will I grow up?" ”
Mingyue looked at the soft and glutinous snow-white dumplings in front of her and smiled dumbly.
In ordinary people's homes, little girls have to wait until they get married to buy some properties, but the heavenly family is different, which princess of the Tang Dynasty is not born with glory and wealth?
Concubine Wu Hui's Xianyi princess is even more favored by the sage, and the sage changed the princess's household to 1,000 households despite the minister's dissuasion for this daughter, not to mention the other treasures and shops that are rewarded.
The only exception is the poor little princess in front of me who is not favored by the emperor.
Mingyue had a hint of pity in her eyes.
But when this little princess follows her master, it will be different......
"Five years old is not an adult." Mingyue didn't say what she thought, but just bypassed the topic lightly, wrote down the matter in her heart, and planned to wait until she returned to the palace to report it to Concubine Wu Hui.
Just one shop can buy people's hearts, and this is a bargain.
