Great Tang princess

Chapter 25
Li Zhi and his wife took Li Yuechen out of the Xuanzheng Hall through the back door, and ordered someone to make tea after returning to the Yanying Hall.

Li Zhi sat on a folding chair, leaning against the back of the chair, with both feet stretched forward to stretch his body.

I have been sitting on the dragon chair since four or five o'clock in the morning, and now I feel a little backache.

I was even thinking about changing the dragon chair and adding a backrest at the back.

Seeing the scripture scroll in Li Yuechen's hand, he reached out and grabbed it: "Is this the latest episode of Journey to the West?"

"Yes……"

Li Yuechen is still immersed in the lessons he has taught him, and he has not recovered.

In this era, is there any book that turns the pages of the later generations, and most of them are still mainly scrolls and scriptures.

Sutra folds are the kind of folds written by ministers, which can be opened page by page, and can also be stretched directly into a long strip.

The golden mirror that Li Yuechen watched when he was a child was also something like this.

"It's been written. I have been waiting for a long time." Li Zhi opened it and read it while talking.

Of course, I read it faster than I wrote it, and I finished it in a while, but the expression was obviously a bit wrong.

Li Yuechen probably knew the reason for this, mainly because she changed a lot of content quite bluntly.

After all, there are many eclectic and seductive scenes in the original book, and it would be too contrary for a child to write those things.

So many places can only be bluntly forcibly deleted and deleted. Zhu Bajie watched the spider spirit take a bath just in passing, and many of the later sexy scenes were replaced with words of dialogue.

Li Zhi instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell. He just felt that the quality had dropped a lot this time.

After reading it, Li Zhi handed the manuscript to Wu Zetian, and he started to play again with the health ball.

"Chen'er has made great contributions, you can tell me what kind of reward you want!" Li Zhi leaned on the back of the chair and played with the health ball, looking like a big boss.

The reward I want is that you don't doubt me!

Although I think so in my heart, I still have to put on a cute appearance on the surface: "I don't want rewards for the time being, I just want my parents to play with me."

Li Zhi nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, tomorrow Meiniang and I won't care about government affairs, and will just play with Chen'er!"

"Your Majesty is doting on her again!" Wu Zetian reminded.

"It's just one day, no problem!" Li Zhi waved his hand indifferently, now he likes this daughter so much, it doesn't matter if he takes a day off to play with her or something.

But he could say that, after all, Li Yuechen wanted to play the role of a sensible child, so he shook his head: "Grandpa, you don't need to be like this. My child needs to practice in the morning, so just play with me tomorrow afternoon!"

"Well, I can persevere! Yes, she is indeed my daughter!" Li Zhi patted her head.

Wu Zetian from behind raised her hand and patted her forehead twice, come on, now whatever my daughter says is good.

"Meiniang too, finish the memorial tomorrow morning, and play with Chen'er in the afternoon!" Li Zhi issued an order domineeringly.

"Okay, okay, I will obey!" Wu Zetian nodded helplessly.

……

After walking out of Yanying Hall, Li Yuechen also heaved a sigh of relief.It seems that the character set has been kept, as long as there is no doubt about me.

Then he waved his hand: "Eunuch Fu, go to the craftsman and ask them to make a few round slices and send them before noon tomorrow, either copper or iron!"

Eunuch Fu was a little puzzled: "I don't know what specific requirements does Your Highness have?"

"It's about the size of a copper coin, just make a hole in the middle!" Li Yuechen replied, "Bring a piece of linen and some chicken feathers when you come back."

What Li Yuechen has to do is very simple, that is, the shuttlecock.

Shuttlecocks already exist these days, but no one plays them in the palace, and they are more similar to sandbags than shuttlecocks.

Fulai took the order and left, and Li Yuechen returned to Chengxiang Palace.

It happened that Mrs. Zheng was teaching Shangguan Wan'er how to practice calligraphy, and Li Yuechen also calmed down and practiced alongside her.

Seeing the characters written by Shangguan Wan'er, Li Yuechen looked at his own: "Should I also learn this kind of calligraphy?"

Mrs. Zheng raised her head: "Your Highness, forgive me for speaking bluntly. It is better not to temporarily change the calligraphy."

"But it's easy to learn how to walk in Handan?" Li Yuechen asked.

Seeing her being so straightforward, Zheng nodded cautiously: "Exactly."

Li Yuechen nodded: "I just feel that this style seems to be incompatible with my Tang..."

"Most of the fonts have a sense of sleekness, but His Highness's fonts are sharp and sharp. There is indeed a significant difference." Zheng replied.

"Forget it, mom and dad have read it anyway, so there's no need to change it!" Li Yuechen shook his head to express his abandonment.

After all, it is very difficult to change a habit. Besides, it's not that Li Zhi and his wife have never seen it.

Now that the style is changed suddenly, it will easily make them think too much if it is not done well.

"I really like His Highness's style!" Shangguan Wan'er next to her said suddenly.

"Shut up! How dare you talk to His Highness like this..."

Li Yuechen smiled: "It's okay, Tongyan Wuji. But Wan'er, if I'm the only one around, you won't be like this in front of outsiders."

"Yes, maidservant remembers!" Shangguan Wan'er replied.

The Zheng family next to him blinked twice. It seems that His Highness likes his daughter very much.

Could it be that the dream a few years ago was meant to be reflected in this Highness?
……

At dusk, Eunuch Fu finally came back.

Li Yuechen saw that the light was starting to dim, so he just put down his pen, raised his head and said, "Why did you come back at this time?"

"His Royal Highness, the craftsman said that it will be completed today without tomorrow's noon, and the servants are waiting."

While answering, Eunuch Fu spread out his hands, revealing a handful of chicken feathers and five smashed copper pieces: "Does this meet His Highness's requirements?"

Li Yuechen took it over and took a look: "Well, it should work. Bring me a copper coin."

After receiving the copper coins handed over by Fulai, Li Yuechen wrapped it with a piece of linen, and then passed the cloth through the middle of several copper pieces.

Then wrap a bunch of chicken feathers with cloth and tie them tightly with thread.

Weighing it in his hand, it should feel similar, but for the specifics, we have to try it.

"Your Highness, what is this?" Shangguan Wan'er next to her looked curious.

Li Yuechen beckoned to her: "Come out with me, you'll know at a glance!"

As he spoke, he took off the large coat and threw it into Xiao He's hands, revealing the blouse inside.

"Your Highness, no, in case you catch a cold..."

"It will be hot soon!"

At the same time as the voice fell, Li Yuechen had already rushed into the courtyard outside.

After all, kicking shuttlecock in that kind of clothes with really long hem is purely asking for trouble, and getting dirty is a trivial matter, anyway, you don’t need to wash it yourself.

The point is that if one accidentally trips himself, it will be a big accident.

Shangguan Wan'er, who was curious, followed, and Eunuch Fu and Xiao He were also curious, so they simply watched from the side.

Li Yuechen didn't care about them. After weighing the shuttlecock, he lightly threw it in the air, and when it fell, he raised his foot and kicked it.

The shuttlecock flew up and fell again, Li Yuechen raised his leg again, and the shuttlecock flew up again, and the cycle repeated.

Fu Gonggong and the others next to him suddenly realized that this is how they play!

But it was more than that, as the shuttlecock was kicked into the air again, Li Yuechen turned slightly sideways, this time directly lifted his right leg from the outside, and kicked the falling shuttlecock again.

Then there is an alternation of inside and outside, with the left and right legs kicking back and forth alternately.

Shangguan Wan'er next to her thought it was funny, parted her small mouth to show a smile, jumped on the spot twice, and then applauded her.

Li Yuechen smiled at her: "Go on!"

At the same time as the voice fell, the shuttlecock flew across a parabola in the air and flew towards Shangguan Wan'er.

Seeing the flying shuttlecock, she subconsciously raised her leg to kick it.

I really kicked it, but I didn't grasp the direction well, the shuttlecock flew straight into the air, and then fell straight down.

"Slightly lighter." Li Yuechen instructed from the side.

Shangguan Wan'er didn't have time to speak, but seeing the shuttlecock was about to fall, she took a big step and raised her kick again.

This time the kick hit, and it flew towards Li Yuechen, but it was obviously higher.

Li Yuechen jumped up on the spot, raised his hand to block it, let it fall, and then kicked her again.

This time she didn't catch it, and the shuttlecock wiped her sleeves and fell to the ground.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, the servant girl is stupid..."

"No problem, go pick it up and continue!" Li Yuechen smiled and waved his hands, "It's not bad to be able to do this!"

When Mrs. Zheng came out of the hall after cleaning up the table and case, she saw the princess and her daughter kicking shuttlecocks back and forth in the yard.

My daughter was sweating profusely, the hair on her forehead was sticking to her skin, and the surface of her dress was covered with speck-like dust.

However, there was no trace of fatigue in her eyes, and there was a bright smile on her face that she had never seen before.

Behind the two children was the Huoshaoyun, which was dyed red by the setting sun, making their faces a touch of orange.

……

The next morning, Shangguan Wan'er, who had changed into a long skirt, had a somewhat unpleasant expression on her face.

Li Yuechen greeted her to come over to eat and asked, "Is this the expression when you practiced with me just now? Didn't you sleep well?"

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head: "Yesterday I stained my skirt and was scolded by Auntie..."

"So that's the case, but I didn't think it through..." Li Yuechen smiled, "It doesn't matter, eat first!"

As he spoke, he tore off half of a piece of mustache and gave it to her.

Li Yuechen is like this every morning. After practicing yoga, he eats two small bites, and then takes two bites of corn porridge before going to practice.

Shangguan Wan'er who was scolded had a pitiful expression, but she looked really cute.

The whole morning was the same as usual, each doing his own thing.

Not long after lunch, Li Zhi took Wu Zetian to Chengxiang Hall to fulfill yesterday's promise and play with his daughter.

And it wasn't just him who came, the four brothers were also called over.

Coupled with the two elder sisters who lived with me in the Chengxiang Palace, the family in the capital was completely gathered.

With the health ball in his hand, Li Zhi smiled and said, "How does Chen'er want to play?"

"Everyone, please lift up your clothes first!" Li Yuechen said with a smile.

Li Hong in the back asked while flicking up his clothes: "Could it be that Chen'er wants to play Cuju? But there are not enough people..."

"It's not Cuju! Just follow me!"

While talking, Li Yuechen brought them into the yard and asked them to stand in a big circle.

Then he took out the shuttlecock and began to introduce the rules.

This is the first time for Li Zhi and others to see this thing, so she can do whatever she wants.

After listening to the introduction, Li Yuechen started first, and after kicking twice, he kicked directly to Li Zhi.

His eyes were really bad, and he could only see a vague thing flying over.

But no matter what, when he was young, he was also a person who was skilled in bowing horses, and his reaction was not slow.

The kick was very accurate, but the direction was not well grasped and it was crooked.

Li Xian saw that he was coming towards him, took a step forward, and kicked Wu Zetian.

Although she became a queen, as the captain of the former palace women's polo team, her skills did not drop too much.

Seeing the shuttlecock coming, he followed Li Yuechen's example and kicked it back.

In this way, the family started a happy shuttlecock kicking activity.

Because I didn't get used to it, I always fell on the ground at the beginning, but after I got used to it, the number of landings became less and less.

During the period, Li Yuechen also showed various fancy kicking methods, such as pushing with his knees or chest, and then continuing to kick, or such movements as small and large.

Li Zhi was the one who had the most fun. Seeing the shuttlecock approaching, it was obviously taller.

So he wanted to imitate Li Yuechen's appearance just now, jump up and hit his forehead, to be handsome.

As a result, due to a misjudgment of the distance, the forehead was not touched, and the shuttlecock landed on the bun!
And the chicken feathers got entangled with the hair and hung on it for a while.

The eunuchs and court ladies next to them averted their eyes for a moment, some looked up at the sky, some looked down at the ground, and some turned their heads to look at Taiye Pool.

Only Li Yuechen laughed heartlessly: "Hahaha... Grandpa, don't move, let the elder brother help you take it down."

Wu Zetian next to him also covered his mouth and smiled lightly, as if he was very happy about Li Zhi's embarrassment.

Li Zhi didn't care, he took it off and shook his head: "Come again!"

……

After playing for about an hour, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian withdrew first, sat down on the chairs beside them, took a sip of the brewed tea, and watched the children play.

"Are you really old..." Li Zhi shook his head.

Wu Zetian smiled: "If it lasts for more than an hour, Your Majesty is still strong."

Li Zhi didn't speak, just shook his head with a smile.

Looking at the sweaty children playing, the expressions on their faces were very relieved.

Turning the health ball in his hand, Li Zhi suddenly said: "This scene is really an experience that I have never experienced since I was a child..."

Wu Zetian next to him was silent for a while: "Is it gone now? I am happy today, Your Majesty should not think about anything unhappy."

It's normal for Li Zhi to sigh like this, since childhood, the only one who really has a good relationship with him is Sizi.

The other brothers, the eldest brother Li Chengqian rebelled, and the fourth brother Li Tai often frightened him.

As for those bastard brothers, they don't even meet each other often, let alone play together.

"It wasn't until I had Chen'er that I really understood the meaning of 'full of children and grandchildren'..." Li Zhi took a sip from his teacup with a smile.

Wu Zetian laughed and said, "Doesn't this just mean that His Majesty is blessed? Seeing the full house of children and grandchildren, enjoying the happiness of the world..."

While Li Yuechen was kicking shuttlecock with his brothers and sisters, he was watching Li Zhi and Wu Zetian from the corner of his eye.

Judging from the satisfied and gratified expressions of the two of them, my operation today was really good!
