Great Tang princess

Chapter 330 Mother's Plan

Hearing this sentence, Li Yuechen was really surprised from the bottom of his heart.

I really didn't expect that the tacit understanding between the couple could reach such a level. I used to think that my father was very different from the boring image in later TV dramas. It can be said that there is nothing about my mother. knew.

But today I discovered that it's not just my father who is powerful, this mother is as powerful as recorded in history, and she even knows about this!
She couldn't help asking subconsciously: "Since A Niang knows, why..."

"Perhaps outsiders think that I have listened to politics behind the curtain all these years because I have the desire for power and ambition. But only my man understands that I do it to share more things for him. We have gone through decades of ups and downs side by side, experienced Too much."

Speaking of this, her expression was a little nostalgic, as if her anger towards her son had just dissipated, and she even put on a smile: "I have been responsible for all the inconveniences in the court during the years he has been emperor. From now on, only It's just changing from helping the husband to helping the daughter."

Li Yuechen understood what she meant. I don't know the reason in the past history, but at least at this moment, this mother is planning to be her daughter's white gloves, become her daughter's knife, and become a villain for her big plan!
"Aniang doesn't have to be like this..." Li Yuechen gently stroked the back of her hand, "If you do this, you will be scolded for thousands of years!"

"Hehe..." Wu Zetian grinned nonchalantly, "Do you think that even if I stop now and enjoy being an empress dowager, my reputation in the history books will be good in the future? What's more, if I care about reputation, then it's not me gone."

Her voice was not loud, but her tone was very crisp.

"Auntie..."

"Okay, go and call that Nizi back. We need to discuss the specific matters." Wu Zetian waved his hand.

Li Yuechen persuaded: "Let's talk about it in a few days. Anyway, there are still a few days before the next court meeting. In these few days, Auntie should take a good rest and calm down."

"Chen'er, this matter is mainly up to you. No matter what, you have to protect this country for your grandpa!" Wu Zetian said with a serious face.

"The child is naturally obligatory, but Auntie..."

"You don't have to think about that!" Wu Zetian waved his hand, "You have to act well with Wei Niang, and at the same time it can be regarded as a wake-up call for future generations. If the emperor doesn't do well, it will bring great harm to the country!"

"Speaking of which, Chen'er once said that even if you are born like an ant, you should have great ambitions! Even if your life is as thin as paper, you should have an unyielding heart! I have been fighting hard all my life as a mother. Now for you, I also Willing to keep fighting!" At this point, she raised her hand and touched her daughter's cheek, showing a loving smile.

Li Yuechen opened his eyes slightly. In his memory, from childhood to adulthood, his mother always looked serious. Even if she smiled, she seldom let go of it.

This loving expression, at least in my memory, seemed to be the first time I had seen it.

The mother and daughter chatted for a long time, and it was not until late at night that Li Yuechen walked out of the Hall of Renshou.

She walked slowly, with a complicated expression on her face.

She felt a little grateful for her mother's plan, but more guilty.

Fortunately, I don't have to be the executioner, but I am ashamed that such a thing should be borne by my mother.

She walked a few tens of meters with a somewhat scattered pace, and then turned to look at the Renshou Hall, which was still brightly lit.

Li Yuechen bowed respectfully to the Hall of Renshou, and said to himself extremely firmly: "No matter what, as long as the country is safe and the people are safe, my daughter will definitely do her best to leave her mother with the name of a great emperor in history!"

……

The next day, Li Yuechen practiced in Anfu Hall in the morning, and walked slowly to Renshou Hall to eat with his mother until it was almost lunch time.

Before they arrived, they saw Li Xian kneeling outside the palace gate from a distance, and Sun Jingbang beside him was also kneeling with him.

The eunuchs and maids who were facing the front all kept away, for fear of coming within the range where the emperor was kneeling.

Li Yuechen came from behind: "Huh? Why are you sitting here, brother?"

"Yuechen, you're here." Li Xian grabbed his younger sister's hand as if seeing a savior, and shook it slightly, "Hurry up and help my brother to persuade A Niang, I'll come here early this morning to say hello, Auntie can't see me."

"No, why is brother sitting here?" Li Yuechen was still curious.

Li Xian looked a little embarrassed: "This..."

(two hours ago)
Not long after the sun came out, Li Xian came to the Hall of Renshou.

After going back and telling Wei Lian'er about what happened yesterday, she originally thought that she could get some comfort, but she still received a slap in the face.

Wei Lian'er had a look of hating iron but not steel: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how can you abdicate lightly? The throne can be resigned as soon as it is said?"

Thinking of his wife howling like a tigress last night, Li Xian felt helpless and panicked, and didn't even let him go to bed last night.

So when I got up early in the morning, I thought about coming here to apologize to my mother, to solve this problem, and to make my wife feel more at ease when I go back.

Arriving at the gate of Renshou Hall, Zhang Chengxin hurriedly saluted: "I have seen a saint!"

"Hurry up and report!" Li Xian waved his hands a little irritably, and waited outside the door.

Zhang Chengxin went in to report, and came out after a while. He looked at Li Xian carefully, organized his words, and reported softly: "Sage, the queen said, I don't want to meet the saint at this time..."

In fact, this language was beautified by him. If Wu Zetian's original words were spoken out, I'm afraid he would be chopped off on the spot!

When Li Xian came here, he thought about many possibilities. His mother might yell at him, or he might call him just by grabbing something...

But it never occurred to me that I couldn't even see each other face to face.

Such a result made Li Xian feel a little uncomfortable. To be honest, even if he was beaten and scolded by his mother, it would be a little uncomfortable at most, just aching.

But he didn't even see each other, which made him very sad, and even a little worried that his mother would be in bad health if she got angry.

So he took two steps back and knelt down on the ground.

Zhang Chengxin was startled, and quickly ran to the side: "Why is this saint?"

"Go and tell Aniang, if you don't see me, I will sit here and not leave!" Li Xian ordered.

"Here!"

Zhang Chengxin, who was taken aback, hurriedly entered the hall to report, and came out again within a few seconds after entering, with a somewhat complicated expression: "The Queen of Heaven said... If the saint wants to sit, he can sit!"

After speaking, he quickly stepped back, not daring to say a word.

(time back to present)
"Oh..." Li Yuechen nodded, and patted Third Brother on the shoulder, "It's a shame that Brother can come up with such a way to threaten Mother..."

"No, I didn't..." Li Xian wanted to explain something.

Li Yuechen shook off his hand: "Okay, I'll persuade you, brother, get up first, or your legs will be crippled!"

"Yeah, go to Yuechen!" Li Xian nodded.

……

Walking into Renshou Hall with some helplessness, I saw my mother just put down the brush.

Before he could speak, Wu Zetian took the lead to pick up the teacup, and asked seemingly casually, "Is Nizi still sitting outside?"

Although the tone is harsh, there is still a hint of concern in it.

"Ah, the leg is almost useless." Li Yuechen replied with a light smile.

"What? Why didn't you pull him up?" Wu Zetian turned his head and asked.

Li Yuechen pretended to be serious: "Of course he needs to realize his mistake! Otherwise..."

Seeing her daughter's expression, Wu Zetian was taken aback for a moment, and then raised her hand to hit her: "Well, you damn girl! How dare you play a joke on being a mother!"

"Hahaha..." Li Yuechen dodged with a smile, and then grabbed her hand, "Okay, mother, he has been kneeling outside for two hours, it's almost done. If it doesn't work, tell him to come in and beat him up! If you feel tired, my child will help you!"

As she spoke, she raised her hands and clenched her fists violently, and there was a "crackling" sound between her white and slender fingers.

"Go!" Wu Zetian stretched out his hand to push her, but did not push, "If you slap her, he still lives?"

"That depends on where you hit!" Li Yuechen replied with a serious face, "If the head is hit, the skull will probably be broken..."

Wu Zetian put down the teacup: "Okay, don't be kidding! Go and bring that Nizi in!"

"Yes!"

After agreeing, Li Yuechen immediately got up and went outside, ran to stop in front of Li Xian: "Brother, go and see Aunt with me!"

Li Xian moved his body twice, with a bitter expression on his face, he stretched out his hand and said, "Yuechen help me, I can't stand up anymore!"

Sun Jingbang, who was kneeling next to him, immediately said: "Your Majesty, this servant is here..."

However, before he could stand up, he felt his legs go numb and fell directly to the ground.

Li Yuechen shook his head, directly grabbed Li Xian by the back collar, lifted him up and walked in: "Hurry up, don't make my mother wait..."

"My leg..." After being lifted in mid-air, the pressure on the calf suddenly eased, and a large amount of blood poured down, causing a sudden tingling sensation.

Li Yuechen shook his head while carrying him into the hall. At the same time, he couldn't help but think, thanks to the people of this era, if after 1000 years, people who can hold on to this posture for 10 minutes are rare .

Of course, it must be mentioned that kneeling is good for the body, and the most intuitive thing is that kneeling does not cause hemorrhoids!
The real kneeling is not to put all the weight of the whole body on the calves, but to push the muscles of the thighs up with the same force, so that the upper body can keep the chest up and the head up, without hunchback.

At the same time, the buttocks will not be completely pressed against the heels, but only a little bit of force.

Seeing her daughter carrying her son in, Wu Zetian drooped her eyelids: "Chen'er, that's too much! How can you carry it in your hand?"

"He can't stand up anymore, that's all he can do!"

While talking, Li Yuechen put the third brother down, let him lie sideways on the mat, and then squatted beside him to gently massage his calf.

"oops!"

Li Xian suddenly yelled: "Yuechen, take it easy, it hurts!"

"Don't worry, if you really use force, your bones will break!" Li Yuechen smiled, and then continued to massage him.

There is a process to massage. It was uncomfortable at first, but after getting used to it, it will be very comfortable. After a while, Li Xian even hummed.

"Okay!" Li Yuechen raised his hand, and slapped his calf with a "slap", "Hurry up and admit your mistake!"

Hearing his sister's reminder, Li Xian remembered what he was doing here today, and quickly got up to salute Wu Zetian: "Mother, I know I was wrong, and I will definitely not be like this in the future."

Wu Zetian sighed: "Since you don't want to be the emperor, then let's play a play for your mother."

"Okay, okay, as long as Mommy doesn't get angry, anything is fine!" Li Xian nodded.

"You don't have to go to court in the future." Wu Zetian put down the teacup, "You can play if you want, but I have to say, I put you under house arrest!"

Li Xian was taken aback: "Why?"

"Don't ask too many questions, just be obedient!" Wu Zetian said with a serious face.

"Be obedient! My child must be obedient!" Li Xian quickly nodded in agreement.

"Remember! Even if the empress asks, she must say so. If it is exposed one day, my mother will kill her!" After speaking, Wu Zetian's eyes have become a little gloomy.

Hearing the cold tone, Li Xian was also taken aback. He could tell that his mother was not joking.

If Lian'er found out about this, she would really die!
Li Yuechen also advised from the side: "Brother, the next thing is very important, you must not reveal it! You have to make outsiders think that you and A Niang have turned against each other!"

Li Xian didn't know why his mother and sister were so serious all of a sudden, but she knew that her mother was not joking, so she nodded her head in agreement.

"During the time you were under my house arrest, you can play whatever you want, but in your spare time, you should study hard to govern the country!" Wu Zetian exhorted, "I am nearly [-] years old now, and one day I will die , when the time comes, the Great Tang will still need you to resist!"

Hearing this sentence, Li Xian thought about it carefully, and asked cautiously: "Then why don't you... play when someone is watching, and study when no one is around?"

"A child can be taught!" Wu Zetian finally nodded in satisfaction.

Li Yuechen who was next to him suddenly said: "It's impossible to hide it from everyone, but it doesn't matter even if the queen knows, she will think that you are hiding your strength and bide your time!"

"Hide your strength and bide your time?" Wu Zetian murmured and repeated a few words, "That's a good statement."

When it came to this point, no matter how stupid Li Xian was, he knew what his mother was going to do, but he didn't refute.

He didn't want to be the emperor in the first place, and it would be great if he could take a good rest for a few years in the name of being under house arrest. Now he gets annoyed when he sees the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

"Don't worry, Ma'am, the child will definitely cooperate!" Li Xian looked serious, "I will trouble Ma'am for the follow-up matters!"

……

The family chatted for a long time in Renshou Hall, and at night they called the fourth son, Li Dan, to chat together.

It was not until after Zishi that the three brothers and sisters walked out of the Hall of Renshou.

The shining Milky Way streaked across the sky, and with the cooperation of the moonlight, it sprinkled a layer of bright silver light on the entire Ziwei Palace.Although the environment is dim, the visibility is not too low.

With a relaxed smile on his face, Li Xian patted the fourth brother on the shoulder: "From now on, being a brother will be as happy as Dandan!"

"Don't call me that!" Li Dan drooped his eyelids, "I never thought that my brother would disappoint my mother so much..."

"Huh? Do you want to beg A Niang to let you be the emperor for my brother?" Li Xian asked with squinted eyes.

Li Dan hastily saluted respectfully: "Brother, please let me go!"

Seeing this picture of brothers and sisters respecting each other, Li Yuechen smiled like a rose blooming under the moonlight... cool and beautiful.
