Great Tang princess

Chapter 142
If it was someone else, Li Zhi might not dare to say such a thing.

But Li Yuechen was different, the couple knew very well that this girl knew how to measure, so naturally they could let her do whatever she wanted.

On the other side, Li Yuechen, who had returned to Anfu Palace, sat alone on the fence of Linbo Pavilion, thinking about the next question.

The branch of this newspaper is definitely not just for publishing articles.

Now that it has developed to this point, the next step must be to become a huge intelligence network covering the whole country.

In the future, it may even lead to the early emergence of secret service organizations like Jinyiwei.

Li Yuechen has no objection to this. Only when the country knows what happened can it find a solution faster and more accurately.

But institutions like Dongxichang should not appear. I vaguely remember seeing it on the Internet before. It seems that the power of eunuchs in the late Ming Dynasty expanded greatly.

And there is also a celebrity, Wei Zhongxian, who is known as nine thousand years old.

Li Yuechen secretly reminded himself in his heart that similar things should not happen in Tang Dynasty at that time.

Although she does not discriminate against eunuchs, it is also true that most eunuchs are mentally abnormal.

Whether it's Fulai or Zhang Chengxin who is next to Dad, it must have gone through countless rounds of intrigue to be able to climb to this position.

Of course, this is not necessarily their problem, but also has something to do with the environment in the palace.

But this cannot be changed now, so in this regard, restrictions should be given priority.

……

After entering April, the weather has become a lot warmer, but it is not yet hot.

The good news is that through the continuous efforts of Wang Gangdan and Jiang Zuojian, the family's roller skates have been made.

After receiving the good news, Li Yuechen decided to teach them roller skating before the weather got hot.

She felt from the bottom of her heart that a family should stay together often, even if they quarreled, it didn't matter, so as to help cultivate their relationship.

Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about those guys who grew up together in the orphanage back then. Although every time they met they said they wanted each other to die immediately, but as long as there was something to do, they would definitely be there as soon as possible.

Jumping up and down to the Hall of Renshou, today Li Zhi did not burn incense and play the piano, but lay on the rocking chair and chatted with his wife.

"Chen'er is here, just to have tea together." Li Zhi waved and smiled.

"Grandfather, the family's roller skates are finished, how about picking a day to play together?" Li Yuechen asked sitting beside him.

Li Zhi nodded: "Well, it just so happens that there is nothing to do today. It's better to hit the sun than choose another day. Let's do it in the afternoon over there!"

"Okay!" Li Yuechen agreed, then turned his head and shouted: "Director Zhang, send someone to inform my brothers that they will come to the palace to play in the afternoon... No! Tell them to come to Renshou Hall for dinner now! Brother, take sister-in-law!"

"Here, servant girl is going!" Zhang Chengxin agreed.

Although the second son, Li Xian, has children, he doesn't have an official concubine yet, so he doesn't need to bring him here.

Now the only one who has a wedding ceremony is the eldest one. Since the media is marrying, it is also a family.

It was still cooking at noon. It has to be said that after several years of training, the imperial chefs in the palace have already developed quite good skills, and they have developed many new dishes on the basis of Li Yuechen's teaching.

The children were used to the whole family eating at a big table, except for the Crown Princess Pei Qingwan who had a reserved look on her face.

Before she came here today, she really never imagined that the emperor and his family could sit at the same table for dinner.

The family ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed, just like the feeling of the folks.

Even Li Xian dared to lean on the back of the chair in front of his parents, and asked Li Yuechen how to play with that roller skate with a relaxed face.

Looking at this family who seemed to have no rules as if they were among the people, Pei Qingwan felt that her previous impression of the royal family seemed to have been completely broken.

……

After eating, everyone planned to rest for a while, so they cooked a pot of tea and started playing chasing the murderer.

Pei Qingwan doesn't know how to play, so she can only watch and study from the sidelines. At the same time, she starts to play the role of host under Li Yuechen's guidance.

After agreeing with a confused face, Pei Qingwan began to watch them play.

After several consecutive rounds, she probably knew how to play this thing, but what surprised her was that these juniors really didn't treat the emperor and empress as outsiders, they voted for it, without hesitation at all!
After playing a few games, the meal was almost finished, the family got up and went to the square behind the Zhenguan Hall, and began to put on roller skates.

Because she hadn't had time to do Pei Qingwan's, and she was relatively quiet and didn't like sports, so she just sat by and watched.

Seeing that Li Zhi and the others were sitting directly on the steps to change their shoes, she thought about it and sat down too.

However, his hands have always been very elegantly placed in front of his lower abdomen, with an elegant look.

After the family changed into shoes, Li Yuechen began to teach them how to play, while Li Zhi, who had already learned how to play, was his wife who supported her to prevent her from falling.

Most of Li Yuechen's attention was also there. After all, my mother is not young now, if she really fell, she might lose half her life.

Pei Qingwan had never seen roller skates before, but she could roughly guess how to play them by looking at them, but she just wondered why she didn't fall down.

As Li Yuechen started teaching next to him, Li Hong and the others also leaned forward, waving their hands, and slowly began to slide.

But the posture looked extremely awkward, far less silky than Li Yuechen's movements.

"Okay, that's all the essentials of forward skating, let's practice for a while."

At the same time that Li Yuechen's voice fell, the whole person had already slid to the mother's side, and after turning half a circle on the spot, he lifted his heel and stopped firmly.

Then he taught her how to skate with Li Zhi.

This kind of thing, after all, as long as you are not afraid, you can learn it quickly.

Wu Zetian also knew that her daughter would definitely protect her, so she put down her mind and started skating.

Li Yuechen followed beside her. At first, she was about to fall down several times, but she quickly went over to hold her up.

The more courageous Wu Zetian completely let go of the skating, and after a while she fully learned it, and took her daughter's hand to start skating around the field.

Although it was the first time for the two elder sisters to put on roller skates, they had seen her teach Shangguan Wan'er before, so they had some theoretical knowledge.

The athletic ability of the brothers is not bad, and they mastered it quickly.

Only Li Hongxue was a little slower, but now he can stand firm and guarantee that he will not fall at any time.

……

Two hours later, the whole family had already learned how to slip up and down, and held hands in the square to play pulling the train.

Pei Qingwan, who was sitting next to him, would pass Prince Li Hong a towel to wipe off his sweat or pour a glass of water from time to time.

At the same time, I couldn't help being surprised.

When we first got married, my father repeatedly told me to be careful when marrying into the royal family, there are many rules in the palace, etc...

But now Pei Qingwan felt that among all the nobles, the palace should be the most unruly.

Even before she got married, she didn't dare to play and laugh with her parents or other brothers and sisters at home.

Look at the present, the whole family is laughing loudly, holding hands and forming a long line of roller skating in the square.

Moreover, they played and fought with each other from time to time, Li Yuechen and fourth brother Li Lun even dared to bully the emperor together!

Looking at Zhang Chengxin's usual appearance next to him, it is obvious that this is not the first time.

Pei Qingwan felt that her three views had been severely impacted. No one could believe that behind the majesty of the royal family, the whole family could get along so harmoniously.

……

After playing wildly for a whole afternoon, the whole family felt a sense of exhaustion when the sun was approaching dusk.

So they all sat in a row on the steps, holding tea cups in their hands and watching the sunset slowly tasting.

Sitting next to his mother, Li Yuechen patted her sore calves gently: "Auntie, how are you doing? Haven't you been active like this for a long time?"

"Yeah, I'm not getting used to it." Wu Zetian smiled and nodded.

Li Lun next to him saw it and came to Li Zhi's side: "My boy, help grandpa beat his legs!"

"Okay." Li Zhi stretched his legs, "Look at how my son's leg-beating technique compares to Chen'er's."

Seeing this scene, Li Xian and Li Xian wanted to stand up, but Li Zhi raised his hand to stop him: "Okay, Erlang and Sanlang just sit down, there's no need for them all to gather around, it's too hot to squeeze together."

Wu Zetian also turned her head and smiled at the two older sisters who were about to stand up: "You two too, just sit and rest obediently."

In the evening, after the family had dinner together again, today's activities were considered to be over, and the children got up and left one after another.

……

Li Hong, who walked out of Xihua Gate, looked up at the starry sky above his head, then suddenly turned his head and said, "Ahem... Can Qing Wan walk with me?"

"Of course I have no objection, it's just your body..." Pei Qingwan was a little worried.

"It's okay." Li Hong smiled lightly, and walked towards the East Palace side by side with her.

Lu Sheng ordered the carriage to follow behind, while he himself was a few steps behind and followed steadily beside him.

Looking up at the starry sky, Li Hong suddenly asked: "I saw your surprised expression today, what's the matter?"

Pei Qingwan smiled a little embarrassedly: "Concubine...I didn't expect the atmosphere in the palace to be so...relaxed."

Li Hongli smiled: "Actually, before Chen'er was born, the atmosphere in the palace was no different from what you knew before. It has become like this in recent years."

Maybe it was also because they wanted to talk, as the two walked, Li Hong slowly told her many things after Li Yuechen was born.

The more Pei Qingwan listened, the more frightened she became, and at the end her eyes widened unbelievably: "It feels like this Your Highness..."

"Both parents doubt that Yuechen is the reincarnation of a god. In fact, I think so too... cough cough!"

"After hearing what the crown prince said, I feel the same way." Pei Qingwan replied.

After returning to the East Palace, the two of them finished washing and lay down on the bed ready to sleep.

Li Hong suddenly grabbed her by the shoulder, made her look at him with a serious face, and said in a low voice: "Qingwan, I want you to promise me one thing."

"You said."

"If one day I die..."

"Why did you say that?" Pei Qingwan opened her eyes wide and sat up abruptly, "Could it be..."

Li Hong took her hand: "Okay, don't be so surprised, listen to me!"

"How can you say that casually? What happened?" Pei Qingwan asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"Okay, listen to me first." Li Hong smiled relaxedly, and pulled her down, "If my illness can be cured, nothing will happen. But if it doesn't, it probably happened in recent years If one day I die, no matter what happens in the palace, don't participate!"

Pei Qingwan burst into tears: "How...how could..."

Li Hong smiled calmly: "About my illness, you don't want to ask nonsense, and don't leak it! If I live forever, just forget what I said tonight. But if one day...by then, Please remember, no matter what happens in the palace, you must not participate in it!"

Pei Qingwan didn't speak, two lines of tears flowed down her eyes, she just looked at him like that.

Seeing such eyes, Li Hong felt distressed, and gently hugged her in his arms: "I didn't want to get married at first, but my parents' orders are hard to disobey, and it's just a pain for you... In case I'm not around in a day, you can marry me." I'm going to be a widow."

"Could it be...there is no way..." Pei Qingwan asked unwillingly.

"Okay, don't talk about it. As long as I'm still alive, you've never heard of this!" Li Hong gently touched her cheek.

……

During this time, the heads of each branch lived in the dormitory of Jixianfang.He listened to Li Yuechen's speeches and received relevant training every now and then.

To be honest, it is not easy to find a few literate people among the retired government soldiers, and Li Yuechen did his best.

"Today, you should go."

Li Yuechen stood at the edge of the well in the middle of the yard, trying to keep his height as close as possible to theirs.

"What should be said, I have already said it. I hope that after you go back, you can continue to shine for Datang! Whether it is this palace, or the emperor and empress, you will never forget your contribution to Datang!"

Li Yuechen is doing the final mobilization for them before they leave, and the money is in place. They can hire reporters to collect information immediately after they pass by. After a few months at most, the branches of the lobby in various states and counties across the country will be set up.

As for how much they can do, it depends on their own abilities.

If they did well, of course Li Yuechen wouldn't mind giving them a promotion, better treatment or something like that.

After they go back, their ostensible job is to collect gossip news, and at the same time ensure that the newspapers issued by Datang Capital can be accurately delivered to the place.

But at the same time, there is another secret job, which is to monitor the big and small things in these major states and counties, and report any troubles immediately.

Although they currently do not have the right to investigate on the surface, at least they can be considered as the eyes of the royal family in various states and counties.

Compared with the previous situation, now not only there are reports from officials, but the emperor also has his own eyes. Under mutual supervision and checks and balances, the local affairs will become clearer and clearer.

Both of them are also afraid that they will be blamed by the emperor for not reporting clearly enough, which can be regarded as a kind of imperial technique.
