Great Tang princess

Chapter 192 The Emperor's Training Method

Li Yuechen waved his hand, without hiding the disappointment in his eyes, shook his head and came to the window to let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing his sister's reaction, Li Xian stood up and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he sat back on the chair without saying anything.

His movements had obviously lost his usual elegance, and he slumped on the chair like a puddle of mud.

After a quarrel, Li Yuechen closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose, forced himself to calm down, and asked calmly, "Where did you hear about this rumor?"

"Alas..." Li Xian sighed, waved his hands, and said in a dead voice, "The exact source is impossible to verify, but her attitude towards me over the years is indeed true..."

Wu Zetian's attitude towards him was indeed not very good, but then again, his attitude towards Li Xian was not that strong either!

If you really want to say that, the third brother is not her own?Li Yuechen couldn't understand his logic.

"This is the case, plus she has always regarded the words of respect as the truth. He once said to A Niang, 'The prince is unbearable, the king of England looks like Taizong, and the king's appearance is the most expensive...' Therefore, A Niang's attitude towards me It's even more..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yuechen who was standing in front of the window suddenly turned around and asked, "Brother, are you admonishing doctor Mingjing?"

Li Xian showed no expression and nodded silently.

Li Yuechen thought about it carefully, and this guy has a little impression. He doesn't talk much in court on weekdays, and he is a very low-key person.

I vaguely remember that he was also a Taoist priest, always doing fortune-telling and other things for his parents.

And it seems that his parents still like him very much.

Presumably, he should be someone who understands psychology and knows what to say to make the emperor and empress happy.

Li Yuechen's biggest impression of this guy is that he is handsome. This guy has a face suitable for growing a beard. He really looks like a mature and personable uncle.

But thinking of this, Li Yuechen looked helpless again: "Looks like Taizong? He seems to be in his early 30s, right? He was probably only three or four years old when the first emperor died. He has seen a ghost Taizong! Such a silly talk!" Do you believe me too?"

In this age without photos, it is impossible for some people to know their appearance throughout their lives.

Li Yuechen had seen Taizong's portrait before, but at a glance, he knew that it was over-PS, the kind that his own mother might not even recognize.

Because the style of painting is the one that focuses on freehand brushwork. As for whether it is realistic or not... unless you compare it with a real person, there is no answer.

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it...the key is that A Niang believes." Li Xian replied.

What a ghost she believed, how could she not know what Taizong looked like?Do you still use a Taoist priest?
Li Yuechen was a little helpless: "Brother must have misunderstood, this matter..."

"It doesn't matter, no matter what, I have to investigate clearly for my brother!" Li Xian shook his head, "Otherwise, there will be no peace for the rest of his life."

"Then what does this have to do with that male favorite?" Li Yuechen asked back, "Could it be that without that male favorite, you will have no peace in your life?"

"I said I'm tired!" Li Xian raised his head and said, "Only he can comfort me..."

Fuck it, this coward is hopeless!Li Yuechen felt a little headache.

Now this guy has completely refused to listen to persuasion, even if he said that it would be useless to break the sky.

If it wasn't for his brother, he would have punched him a long time ago!

"Forget it, Yuechen doesn't want to say any more, brother, let's do it for himself." Li Yuechen waved his hand in disappointment.

"Can Yuechen tell Grandma?" Li Xian asked cautiously, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Li Yuechen shook his head: "I won't say it. But it's still that sentence, and it will be discovered sooner or later."

"As long as Yuechen doesn't say anything, it's fine, just don't say anything!" Li Xian smiled happily, "I knew Yuechen was still towards me!"

Seeing his reaction, Li Yuechen shook his head slightly, but did not continue to say anything.

For the time being, let's pretend he doesn't know about this matter, and think of other ways after he goes back to see if he can change his mind.

Now that he has reached the tip of his horn, he can't be persuaded to come back.

It can only be to let him suffer a little bit first, and then solve it by himself after discovering the problem.

It's okay if Dad didn't find out at that time, but if he found out...the consequences would be serious.

But Li Yuechen can't help it, he can't sue his father and abolish him.

Compared with the two elder brothers behind, the second elder brother is still the most suitable person to be a prince.As for the third and fourth brothers, they were raised as idle princes since they were young, not as emperors.

……

This matter ended here for the time being, and then the brothers and sisters talked about other things at home as if nothing had happened.

Li Yuechen also brought greetings from his parents and two older brothers, as well as several carts of gifts. Both of them looked happy.

In the evening, the two brothers and sisters ate together in the hall. Perhaps because of the change in habits, Crown Princess Fang Furong also ate together at the same table.

Li Yuechen was a little curious, whether she knew about that male favorite.

But if you think about it carefully, don't worry about it, although you know that you are inclined towards her in your heart.

The reason is very simple, even an outsider like himself has discovered it, and it is unlikely that the people who sleep next to him every day will not know.

After all, this is not an occasional time, that guy has been here for a long time.

……

After dinner, Li Yuechen returned to Chengxiang Hall to rest.

After entering the hall, Fulai was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Li Yuechen.

"What happened today..."

"Your Highness, today the servants are only responsible for guarding outside the door, and don't know anything about the inside of the palace!" Fulai said seriously.

Seeing his respectful face, Li Yuechen was silent for two seconds, and asked slowly: "Can I trust you? Once my parents find out about this, brother will not be happy."

"Doing things for the Queen of Heaven, of course you can get more, but it is also more dangerous. But His Highness has been kind to me and other servants since he was a child, and following His Highness, the rest of his life will be safer!"

Li Yuechen nodded: "Okay, I believe you once! I hope my choice tonight is right."

"Your Highness, don't worry!" Fulai replied respectfully.

……

Li Yuechen didn't stay in Chang'an for too long, and set off for the Eastern Capital after three days.

The second elder brother sent her to the gate of the Daming Palace, the brother and sister were relatively silent.

After a long silence, Li Yuechen spoke first: "Second brother, don't worry, Yuechen will not reveal this matter, but... I hope that second brother can take care of himself."

"Okay, thanks for brother!" Li Xian nodded.

Then he planned to salute to express his thanks, but was hugged by Li Yuechen with open arms.

"I hope that the day you find out the truth, you will have the face to see your parents!" Li Yuechen patted him on the back, then turned around, got on his horse and left without looking back.

Seeing the back of his sister leaving, Li Xian stood at the gate of Daming Palace, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

In the end, he didn't say anything, but watched his sister's back gradually move away until she disappeared from sight.

Li Xian suddenly turned his head and asked Fang Qing'an next to him: "Do you think Yuechen will betray me?"

"The slave feels that Her Royal Highness has always been affectionate and righteous, so she definitely won't!"

"Yes, definitely not!" Li Xian nodded.

……

On the way back to Dongdu, Li Yuechen returned to his usual lazy but cute appearance.

Go to bed at midnight every night, get up in the morning to practice yoga, and start on your way after breakfast.

When I came back, the carriage was already empty, and the speed was faster than before, and I returned to Dongdu in ten days.

It happened to be mid-afternoon after returning to the palace, and the first thing Li Yuechen did after dismounting was to pay his respects to his parents.

After entering the Hall of Renshou, Li Zhi raised his head and grinned: "Yo, Chen'er is back."

Li Yuechen trotted over to give him a hug: "Well, I'm back, does Grandpa miss me?"

"I think, every day!" Li Zhi smiled and patted her on the back.

Then he ran to give his mother a hug: "Mum, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much!"

"Well, take a good rest when you get back." Wu Zetian nodded and raised his hand to stroke her head.

Li Yuechen agreed with a smile, but immediately got up to make tea for his parents.

While making tea, he said that he had a good time with his second brother when he went back this time, and that he is also fine, so don't worry about it...

However, when Li Yuechen was talking and proud of his acting skills, he found that the couple did not respond.

Looking up with some doubts, I found that the couple were smiling and looking at this side without saying a word.

Seeing this somewhat weird smiling face, Li Yuechen was taken aback for a moment: "Is there something wrong with the child?"

Li Zhi held the health ball, raised his other hand and stroked his beard: "Chen'er, you have been very close to your brothers and sisters since you were a child. If you want to meet this time, Erlang didn't just talk about these common things, right?"

Hearing this sentence, Li Yuechen was slightly taken aback, and immediately reacted a lot, they must know something.

Could it be that Fulai sold himself?
It's also impossible, since I came to Renshou Hall as soon as I came back, Fulai probably doesn't have time.

And it doesn't look like it, if Fulai really sold himself, the father would definitely be furious when he found out about the second brother raising a male pet, and he would definitely not be smiling like he is now.

According to Li Yuechen's own understanding of his father, he should know something now, but it's definitely not about the second brother raising a male favorite!
Thinking of this, Li Yuechen also planned to try it out first.

So he deliberately put on a stiff smile and said, "What do you mean, grandpa? The child doesn't understand!"

"Oh?" The mother behind the desk put down her brush and asked, "You really don't understand?"

Li Yuechen shook his head frantically: "I don't understand!"

Seeing her like this, Li Zhi suddenly turned his head with a smile and said, "Look? I said she will definitely put on a show."

"The concubine lost." Wu Zetian also grinned, then turned to look at Li Yuechen: "My daughter has grown up, so she dares to lie to my mother."

"I..." Li Yuechen looked embarrassed, as if he didn't know what to say.

On the contrary, Li Zhi saw his daughter's embarrassed face, waved his hands and said, "Okay, Chen'er doesn't have to hide it. You have always been smart, do you think that the rumors and gossips in the court can hide it from me?"

Well, it seems that the father and mother already know about this matter, and the matter of the male favorite should be hidden for a while.

After thinking it over, Li Yuechen showed an embarrassed smile: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Grandpa..."

Li Zhi ignored the flattery, but raised his chin: "Tell me, what did Erlang say?"

Now that they all knew, Li Yuechen had nothing to hide, and directly revealed all the doubts of the second child.

Of course, he didn't copy his original words, otherwise, my mother might not want to get mad on the spot.

So Li Yuechen's narration was quite tactful.

"So... the second brother is also having a headache because of this rumor." Li Yuechen explained.

After listening to their daughter's explanation, the couple looked at each other with a look of "it really is".

"What do you think of Chen'er?" Li Zhi asked suddenly.

Li Yuechen thought for a while: "My child doesn't understand. Since the parents know about this, why didn't they investigate? Or...why didn't you explain it to brother?"

Li Zhi didn't answer his daughter's question right away, but picked up the tea cake and took a sip.

Then he stroked his beard and said, "Erlang is a smart man, which is a good thing, but in fact he also has the shortcomings of a smart man!"

"Shortcomings?" Li Yuechen didn't quite understand.

Wu Zetian next to him had a slightly helpless expression: "Smart people generally don't believe other people's explanations, they will always catch all kinds of clues presumptuously. Compared with what they heard from other people, they believe in the truth that they have pieced together through investigation. !"

Hearing his mother's words, Li Yuechen was silent for two seconds, thought for a while and said, "That's why my mother didn't tell my second brother on purpose?"

The couple did not speak, apparently acquiescing to this.

"How can this be done?" Li Yuechen asked suddenly, "Although the words are reasonable, but this matter was wrong from the very beginning, so naturally we should tell him!"

"Chen'er, he is the prince!" Li Zhi said seriously.

With such a short sentence, Li Yuechen already understood what they meant.

Because he is a prince, he must learn to make his own judgment.

The prince is the future emperor, and the emperor is a widow, so he can't rely on others for many things, and can only rely on himself to make judgments!
Knowing what the old man meant, Li Yuechen opened his mouth to refute, but found that he didn't seem to have anything to say.

The emperor is destined not to think like ordinary people, and the emperor's training method is also destined to be different from ordinary people.

But even after figuring this out, Li Yuechen still felt something wrong, and couldn't help but raised his head and asked, "Then, are you going to let such rumors spread?"

"The matter has come to this, if we want to find out its source, we will have to go to war!" Li Zhi explained, "At that time, the royal family's face will be damaged."

Wu Zetian next to him also reminded: "Besides, there is no need to search for this matter. Doesn't Chen'er know where the source is?"

Hearing his mother's suggestion, Li Yuechen lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "The one who planned to kidnap the child...is the same group?"

Li Zhi's eyes revealed a look of appreciation: "Now that the newspaper has gradually spread to the whole country, they have no other means to counter it, and they can only use this method, and they are split from the royal family."

"But what if the second brother..."

"If the 'what if' happens, it means that he is not suitable to be the prince!" Li Zhi said firmly.
