Great Tang princess

Chapter 12 Family Games
Whether Li Zhi and Wu Zetian would like to play this health ball, Li Yuechen was not sure.

But considering that in this era, there are relatively few entertainment methods, if there is something that can be held in the hand, most people will not refuse it.

What's more, Li Zhi, who doesn't even look at the memorials every day in order to rest, panics every day, and has something to play with in his hand, so he probably won't refuse.

The next day, Li Yuechen went to Liu Rengui's house in the morning, asked him to check whether his routines were standard, and at the same time gave him the last pair of health balls.

Time passed day by day, and it was the end of December in a blink of an eye, and there were still about ten days until the New Year's Eve.

But now Li Yuechen doesn't have much concept of time anymore. After all, the Chinese New Year in this era is completely different from that of later generations, and she is not interested either.

In addition to practicing martial arts every day, I just read and practice calligraphy, copying "Thousand Characters" or "Jijiu Pian", recalling the few Tang and Song poems that I can still remember in my previous life. The sisters played and played for a while...the days were quite fulfilling.

Regarding the two health balls, as expected, when I went to greet Li Zhi and his wife every day during this time, I could always see them playing with them.

It seems that this gift is still very popular.

It was the day when Liu Shenwei came to give Li Zhi a daily check-up. After getting a few needles on the head in the Hall of Yanying, he said that everything was normal recently, and he was about to leave.

"Your Majesty, if there is no other matter, I will take my leave first..."

"Wait a minute, Liu Qing!" Li Zhi stopped him, raised his left hand and asked, "Are you familiar with this thing?"

Liu Shenwei was a little puzzled. As soon as he came in today, he saw that the couple were holding a pair of shiny iron balls and spinning them gently.

At first, he thought it was the latest fashion of the royal family, why did he ask him if he was familiar with it now.

While feeling puzzled in his heart, he shook his head slightly: "I'm not familiar with it."

Li Zhi waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and then explained: "This thing was made by Chen'er. She said that she asked Qing for advice, and massaging her hands can relieve fatigue..."

Listening to Li Zhi's explanation, Liu Shenwei stroked his beard: "That's true, a few days ago, His Highness came to the Imperial Medical Office..."

As he spoke, he probably explained to Li Zhi what happened that day.

Li Zhi nodded: "Chen'er means that because I can't be with me all the time, I use this thing instead of massage palms. I thought it was a joke, but these days, I often play with it, and I feel good physically and mentally." Why don't Liu Qing put on a pair when he goes back and try it out for himself. If it really works, Chen'er is also doing a great job!"

"Here!"

Liu Shenwei agreed and turned around to leave.

After walking out of Yanying Hall, I felt that this matter was very interesting. How old is the princess?How can a random gadget have the effect of massage?
At present, it is hard for him to believe it, but since the emperor has given orders, let's try it.

Jiang Zuojian was not far from Taichang Temple, and immediately after returning home, he ran to Jiang Zuojian to find an acquaintance who said he wanted to hit a pair of iron balls.

As soon as the other party heard it, it was simple. Two days ago, Her Royal Highness came to play three pairs. It doesn't matter if there are more than one pair.

That night, Li Zhi couldn't help calling Li Yuechen over.

After saluting without any rules, Li Yuechen climbed onto Wu Zetian's lap to play with her.

I met many ministers during the day, and approved several hours of memorials at night. Wu Zetian was also a little tired, so he hugged her and started fighting.

Li Zhi next to him looked at the mother and daughter who were fighting together, and stroked his beard: "Chen'er, this thing is really good. Your mother and I have been playing with it every day recently. You have meritorious service. What reward do you want?"

"Your Majesty..." Wu Zetian consciously wanted to refuse, she always felt that being so pampered was not a big deal.

Li Zhi waved his hand indifferently: "No problem! Chen'er, what do you want? You can speak up!"

I didn't expect that Li Zhi would suddenly be in a good mood and give the reward, but now, Li Yuechen really doesn't want anything.

Li Yuechen, who was lying on Wu Zetian's lap, blinked his big eyes: "Any reward?"

Li Zhi made a majestic expression: "Any reward!"

Li Yuechen propped his chin with both hands, and grinned like a flower: "That kid wants to put on a bearskin coat and have a snowball fight with the two adults."

"..." Li Zhi and Wu Zetian looked at each other.

"I know the cub's clothes, but why is this snowball fight?" Li Zhi asked.

Li Yuechen looked helpless, he didn't even know about snowball fights, how miserable was your childhood?

However, it was explained later.

After he understood it, Li Zhi kept his word and waved his hand: "Zhang Chengxin! Order Yisi to sew two more clothes for the bear cub according to the size of me and the queen. It must be completed before noon tomorrow!"

"Here!"

Li Yuechen on the side couldn't help but nodded secretly after hearing this, the emperor is the emperor, in a word, the people below have to work all night, it's really not easy.

But no matter what, as long as there is an opportunity to get close to each other and gain a sense of presence, Li Yuechen will definitely not let it go.

At least before my old lady Wu Zetian came to power, no one would doubt that a woman could be an emperor, so even if she was favored again, she didn't have to worry about becoming a tool for ministers to fight with the emperor.

For now, all you have to do is hang on, and no one will notice you.

As for after the old lady takes over...then it will be decided at that time depending on the situation.

The next morning, Li Yuechen got up to practice yoga, warmed up, and then practiced martial arts routines.

At noon, Li Zhi asked to have dinner in Yanying Hall.

What makes Li Yuechen a little uncomfortable is that this era seems to be not only a large banquet, but even meals are shared at home. Everyone sits at a low coffee table and eats their own food.

That is to say, she is still young, so she can sit next to Wu Zetian and eat together.

Although this method is indeed very hygienic, it always feels that there is no such family atmosphere.

But it's okay, I will find an opportunity to mention it to Li Zhi in the future, so that I can gain a sense of presence again.

After eating and resting for a while, Li Zhi kept his word and changed into two large bear jumpsuits with Wu Zetian.

The key is that this material... no matter how you look at it, it looks like it is made of real bear skin!
Not to mention, Li Zhi is about 1.8 meters tall, and he really has a tall and mighty aura when he wears it.

The old lady Wu Zetian is about [-] in height, and she is quite suitable for Li Zhi in all aspects.

After changing their clothes, the two big and one small three bears came to the open space behind Linde Hall, ready to have a snowball fight.

To be honest, this kind of clothing may consider the issue of social death in later generations, but if the emperor and empress did it in person, it would be another matter.

At least whether it was Zhang Chengxin beside him or the eunuchs and maids around, they all looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and their faces were blushing.

Li Yuechen is a child, it doesn't matter how crazy she is.But the emperor and empress went crazy together, which is the only one since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

"I am in a team with A Niang, and Grandpa will face us alone." Li Yuechen announced.

"Oh? Why is that?" Li Zhi asked with a smile.

Li Yuechen smiled cutely and said: "I heard from my mother that my grandfather was also proficient in riding and shooting when I was young, so this distribution is only fair."

Li Yuechen didn't know this matter until he came to this world. People in Tang Dynasty were martial arts, so no matter princes, nobles or literati, I dare not say that they are proficient in horseback riding and archery, but at least they must know how to do it.

Comrade Taizong Li Er led the army to fight for many years. Under his influence, the princes and princesses like Li Zhi were basically good at riding and shooting.

Even Li Yuechen's older brothers, although not experts, have been trained in horseback riding and archery.

Li Zhi had no objection to this assignment, and waved his hand to call the eunuchs and maids next to him to come over and pinch snowballs.

These two clothes can be regarded as the essence of Li Yuechen, and the cartoon eyes are also drawn with oval wood pieces.

And there is a short tail like a fur ball behind the buttocks, which looks even more cute.

A group of eunuchs and maids worked together, and in a short while they made a lot of snowballs.

Then Li Zhi gave an order, and the two sides stood on both sides and started throwing snowballs.

Li Yuechen and Wu Zetian cooperated with each other and kept throwing snowballs at Li Zhi from both sides to attack.

On the opposite side, although Li Zhi's overall physical fitness has declined a lot due to his age, he is still a tall and strong man after all, and his strength is much stronger than that of a child or a middle-aged woman.

Soon, Li Yuechen and Wu Zetian's bodies were already covered with snowflakes, and they were hit many times. Thanks to the loose snowballs, they didn't hurt when they hit their bodies, so they wouldn't be injured.

Li Zhi didn't get hit many times, most of them escaped by moving flexibly.

Li Yuechen saw that this was not going to work. Now that the two sides were on both sides of the position, she was a little uncertain.

So he directly picked up a few snowballs and rushed over from the side to outflank Li Zhi with no sense of martial ethics.

After a few snowballs fell, Li Zhi laughed and ran over: "Well, there is such a tactic!"

Then he yelled "Wow" and threw the snowball over.

Li Yuechen turned around and ran, smiling and throwing a snowball to him from time to time.

And Li Zhi ran very slowly on purpose, as if he couldn't catch up with her, and kept throwing snowballs behind her.

In order not to hurt her daughter, most of them were deliberately thrown on the sides and did not hit her.

"Haha, mother, come and save me!" Li Yuechen called his mother for help while running.

The playful Wu Zetian kept throwing snowballs from the side, and Li Zhi's body was also covered with white snow scum.

The three of them were very happy playing in the palace, and the maids and eunuchs next to them looked at the scene in surprise.

Even husband and wife and daughter dared to throw snowballs at the emperor, this is really an incredible event for the first time.

Zhang Chengxin and Eunuch Fu, who were watching the match as referees, looked at the three black shadows running around on the middle battlefield with smiles on their faces, cheering and cheering from time to time.

"Grandpa, such a rare event is truly unheard of!" Eunuch Fu said in a low voice.

Zhang Chengxin's expression was inscrutable: "Hmph, from this we can see that the princess has a strong family, and when the princess grows up in the future, your good life will begin!"

"Thank you grandpa for promoting!" Eunuch Fu smiled flatteringly.

"It's just a pity, if it's a man..." At this point, Zhang Chengxin subconsciously looked around, but didn't continue.

However, Eunuch Fu, who was next to him, nodded in agreement, thinking in his heart that if it was a man, the crown prince might change hands in the future.

……

After nearly an hour of snowball fights, Li Zhi was finally a little tired. He sat on the ground panting for breath, raised his right hand wrapped like a bear's paw, and waved it: "Forget it...don't fight... ..."

Li Yuechen who was next to him ran over with a big snowball in his arms, threw it directly into his arms, and threw himself on his back: "Hahaha, grandpa lost!"

Li Zhi raised his hand and held her in his arms: "If you lose, you lose, it's Chen'er who wins!"

Wu Zetian trotted over from the side: "Your Majesty, get up quickly and sit on the snow to be careful not to catch a cold..."

"No problem, no problem..."

Even though he said so, Li Zhi still put down Li Yuechen, supported his wife's hand and stood up.

Because of the long-term exercise, the blood surged up, and his face was flushed. After taking off the hat, he could see the fog that was visible to the naked eye coming out of his body: "It's been a long time since I relaxed so happily... Is Chen'er happy?"

"Happy!" Li Yuechen nodded, "Grandpa must be tired, go back and drink some hot tea to rest."

"Okay! Listen to Chen'er!"

Li Zhi also seemed a little tired, so he took her little hand and walked back.

Wu Zetian who was behind stopped Zhang Chengxin, and ordered in a low voice: "Order, today's matter must not be spread outside the public! If you let Yushitai know, it will inevitably spoil your majesty's mood!"

"Here!"

Zhang Chengxin agreed, and immediately asked Eunuch Fu to call all the eunuchs and maids present.

"Listen up, today's affairs are all rotten in your stomach! If you let us know who is talking behind your back, don't blame us for not being sympathetic!"

He also knew that the old guys at Yushitai had started bouncing around again after Changsun Wuji died.

Today's incident, in the eyes of my own people, is nothing more than playing with my children.

But in the eyes of the old guys at Yushitai, the emperor didn't handle government affairs properly, but instead went to have a snowball fight.The emperor must be sprayed with blood.

In order to prevent Li Zhi from getting sick from anger, the confidentiality work must be done well.

……

Li Yuechen was really happy today. It could be seen that Li Zhi hadn't been so relaxed for a long time. Even his wife Wu Zetian felt much better after returning, and the speed of approving memorials was much faster than usual.

Li Yuechen felt that he should be fine in the future, so he took the couple to play together, increasing their relationship and allowing them to exercise at the same time.

If you can live a few more years because of this, it might be considered a merit.

I don't know if it was because of Li Zhi's better mood, when he went to court the next day, he approved the policy of exempting soldiers from punishment that Prince Li Hong asked to play some time ago.

The law of the Tang Dynasty stipulated that if a soldier flees or fails to arrive within the time limit, he will be executed, and his wife will not be an official.Some time ago, the prince said in a memorial: There are many reasons why the soldiers did not arrive, such as illness, injury, being looted, etc... The team and family members were implicated because of this, it is really sad.

So I played, please spare the fugitive soldier's wife from the crime of sitting together.

In the last few days of the end of the first year of Zongzhang, Li Zhi agreed to the prince's request to play!
