Great Tang princess

Chapter 351 The warmth of home
The mother and daughter chatted in the Hall of Renshou for an indeterminate amount of time, until Li Yuechen couldn't help yawning, and suddenly remembered the question of time.

So he immediately turned his head and asked Zhang Chengxin: "Eunuch Zhang, when is it?"

"Return to Your Highness, it's just passed."

Li Yuechen nodded, and said to Wu Zetian: "Aniang, it's getting late, you should rest early. Even if there is nothing to do tomorrow, you can't stay like this."

"Hmm..." Wu Zetian nodded, "It's getting late today, Chen'er doesn't have to go back, just stay in the palace."

"it is good!"

After agreeing, Li Yuechen stood up, and suddenly seemed to think of something: "Speaking of it... Would it be boring if you don't have anyone to accompany you at night? Otherwise, how about the baby sleeping with you?"

Thinking about it carefully, my father has been away for more than a year. When I am in my mother's grade, I am alone every night. I think it should be a bit lonely.

Li Yuechen also wanted to take advantage of his return and try to spend as much time with his mother as possible.

If it wasn't for her mother's plan, she wouldn't even have planned to build the princess mansion so early.

"Chen'er has a heart, that's good!" Wu Zetian smiled, nodded and agreed.

"The child is here to comb A Niang's hair." Li Yuechen agreed, and immediately took her hand and walked to the back inner hall.

In ancient times, especially women with high status, hairstyles were very troublesome. Before going to bed at night, they had to take off a lot of jewelry and comb their hair well before going to bed.

There are many candles in Renshou Hall, even at night, the visibility is very obvious.Although it is not as bright as an incandescent lamp, at least it can see the surrounding things clearly.

Wu Zetian was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, and Li Yuechen was standing behind her, helping her take off the complicated jewelry little by little, and then holding a comb, carefully combing her hair.

Looking at her daughter's appearance in the bronze mirror, Wu Zetian suddenly grinned: "In a blink of an eye, Chen'er has grown so big. Thinking back, it seems like a blink of an eye."

"Really?" Li Yuechen didn't stop clapping his hands, then smiled, "I don't feel it, my child."

"When you grow up in the future, you will understand." Wu Zetian smiled, "Now is the time when you are in full bloom, so you don't have to think about it."

Li Yuechen shook his head lightly: "If it's possible, I hope that the child will never grow up. Grandpa is gone, and Grandma's gray hair is getting more and more. It's really inhuman..."

"If people can live forever, what's the point of having children?" Wu Zetian had a bright smile on his face, "Watching children grow up is a kind of inheritance in itself."

"What A Niang said is true." Li Yuechen nodded with a smile, and then helped her apply a little traditional Chinese medicine hair conditioner of this era on her hair, "Okay, A Niang, go to sleep. There is nothing to do tomorrow, so you can sleep for a while."

When he came to the spacious bed, Wu Zetian waved his hand: "Chen'er, go sleep on your side, I'm getting old, I have to get up at night."

"okay!"

With a promise, Li Yuechen untied the hair tie, and his jet-black hair immediately fell down, and then turned over and rolled directly to the inside of the bed.

After arranging the soft pillows, he lay down on his side, propped his head with one hand, and said with a smile: "Now I still vaguely remember sleeping with A Niang when I was a child."

"You can fool people, you were just born not long ago, about the size of a mouse, how could you remember?" Wu Zetian rolled her eyes and lay down beside her.

"Cough... Mom, rats are too much!" Li Yuechen smiled helplessly, "Why do you have to be similar to a raccoon slave?"

Wu Zetian directly closed his eyes: "Okay, go to sleep! Besides, it's Yin's time."

"it is good!"

"... How old is Chen'er? Why are you still hugging your mother?"

"Oh, my child usually sleeps with a bear in his arms. If his arms are empty, he won't be able to fall asleep..."

"..."

In the end, neither mother nor daughter spoke anymore, but Wu Zetian still stretched out his hand, held his daughter in his arms, and patted her on the back lightly twice.

As a mother, she naturally understands her daughter's thoughts, and she just takes this opportunity to show her closeness.

Thinking of my daughter being sensible and cute since she was a child, but I had hardly put her to sleep, so I put my arms around her and gently patted her on the back to comfort her twice.

Li Yuechen, who was hugged by his mother, couldn't help but smiled, but he didn't open his eyes, and fell asleep peacefully after sniffling.

……

Although I slept very late yesterday, both mother and daughter opened their eyes before dawn.

Under the action of the biological clock, even if there is some lack of sleep, I still wake up early.

After sitting up and stretching, all the bones in his body made a "cracking" sound, which startled the two maids serving beside him.

"Chen'er's body sounds really strong!" Wu Zetian said calmly.

"Hey, baby, come and help Auntie comb her hair!" Li Yuechen jumped off the bed, took the concubine from the hand of the maid, and started to do it.

Wu Zetian smiled: "Speaking of which, my mother hasn't tied Chen'er's hair yet, why don't you tie Chen'er's hair first."

"This won't work, you're overstepping!" Li Yuechen shook his head.

"You didn't care about etiquette since you were a child, so you're still talking about this now?" Wu Zetian smiled, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, sit down quickly. Chen'er's hairstyle is simple, and it doesn't take a cup of tea to get it done. Then you Then tidy up for my mother."

Hearing what his mother said, Li Yuechen no longer refused, and sat down with a smile: "Okay, then I will trouble Mommy."

The interaction between the two did not avoid these court ladies around them. They have all been strictly investigated and have basically been cultivated to be the mother's confidantes, and they hardly have contact with outsiders, so there is nothing to worry about.

Li Yuechen sat on a small stool, facing the bronze mirror obediently, with his hands on his knees, looking like an obedient baby.

Wu Zetian was standing behind her holding a wooden comb that was slightly shining with golden light, combing her messy hair one by one.

Her movements are very gentle, and Li Yuechen's hair is relatively smooth, so she can brush it to the end almost every time.

"It's my daughter after all. Looking at it this way, she looks exactly like me." Wu Zetian chuckled while combing.

"That is, it fell from A Niang after all." Li Yuechen looked at her through the mirror with a smile and said with a smile.

With his hair down, Li Yuechen couldn't see his usual heroic spirit at all. The hairstyle parted in the middle covered his straight eyebrows a bit, making him look like a lady from a big family.

But if he tilted his head slightly so that the hair covered half of his face, he would become full of coquettishness in an instant, especially those bright black eyes, which seemed to be emitting electricity through the hair.

After tying her into a high ponytail with a headband, Wu Zetian patted her on the shoulder lightly: "This looks like a pretty boy."

"The child is in his early twenties, how young is he?"

Li Yuechen smiled, stood up and took her mother's hand to make her sit down, and then began to comb her hair.

Then he helped her put on the complicated jewelry one by one, and at the same time complained in her heart, wouldn't her neck be uncomfortable with so many things on her head...

It's been almost half an hour since I finished my hairstyle, and breakfast just happened to be served, and the mother and daughter chatted while eating.

"Your conspiracy is not bad, but I don't know how they will counter it?" Wu Zetian asked.

"That's their own business." Li Yuechen took a sip of the porridge in front of him, "Anyway, there will definitely be people in the clan who support it. As for the court...it's useless if they want to object, and it's not because of this. rebel."

"What if?"

"Then let's fight, my son will fight it himself!" Li Yuechen had an indifferent expression on his face, "But my son thinks that they will wait until the clan is stabilized..."

Wu Zetian nodded: "That's true, then let's take a look first, anyway, the initiative is now mine."

……

After staying with his mother for another day, it was not until dusk that Li Yuechen got up to leave and rode back to Zhengpingfang.

Li Yuechen turned over and jumped off the horse, looked up at the majestic gate of the Princess Mansion, and said to himself with a sigh of relief: "Finally back!"

As soon as he entered the gate, he saw Shangguan Wan'er trotting over.

When she came to the front, she suddenly stopped, raised her head and said with a smile: "His Highness is finally back! Wan'er misses His Highness!"

"Well, I stayed with Auntie in the palace when I came back yesterday, so I just came back today." Li Yuechen smiled, "It's just a pity, I originally said that I would try to come back as soon as possible... But the anniversary of Grandpa's death did not catch up, and the New Year's Eve I didn't catch up..."

"Your Highness is on the battlefield, there are many accidents, so don't feel guilty about it." Shangguan Wan'er quickly comforted her, and then took her hand, "Tomorrow is the Shangyuan Festival, and Wan'er will accompany His Highness to stroll around the East Capital How about a stroll?"

Li Yuechen raised his head and thought about it, then nodded lightly: "Alright, let's go out for a stroll in micro-clothes then."

"Well, His Highness should relax a bit when he is out fighting." Shangguan Wan'er nodded, "I know His Highness will come back tonight, and Wan'er made ginseng chicken soup. Your Highness should drink some."

"Wan'er is interested, let's go!" Li Yuechen agreed with a smile, and walked towards the mansion with her hand in hand.

……

The next day Li Yuechen entered the palace early to greet his mother, and at the same time stayed with his mother for a day with his brothers and sisters.

After lunch and dinner, he got up and said goodbye: "Mother, Brother, I'm going out to play tonight."

"Oh, when grandpa was here, the whole family went out together." Li Xian looked a little disappointed, "It seems that there will be no such opportunities in the future..."

"Brother, as members of the royal family, we still have to put national affairs first!" Li Yuechen stretched out his hand with a smile, and rubbed his chubby face with both hands, "From the outside, brother is The state of being under house arrest is really not suitable for going out to play in the palace, so it's better to sneak up on the city wall to have a look."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." Li Xian couldn't say anything as his face was squeezed by his sister, and his lips kept moving up and down.

Li Lun on the side supported his cheek with one hand and laughed: "Then I will stay here with Auntie. Anyway, it is normal to accompany Auntie in the palace today."

There is no problem with what you said. In this era when filial piety is above all else, even if the relationship between mother and child is not harmonious, there is no shortage of places that should be greeted and saluted.

Today is the Shangyuan Festival, even if King Yu stays in the palace for a whole day, it is normal.

After Li Yuechen said hello to his brother and mother, he took the lead to leave with his two sisters and walked out of the palace.

It was dusk now, and the orange-red glow filled the earth, even making Ziwei Palace a little bright.

Although the sky has not yet completely darkened, there are already a lot of people on the street at this time, basically every street and every alley is full of pedestrians coming and going.

Especially on the main street opposite the palace, it can almost be described as shoulder to shoulder.

Seeing her coming out, Shangguan Wan'er, who was already waiting at the gate of the palace, trotted over: "Your Highness, are you ready?"

"Um……"

Li Yuechen nodded, already prepared for today, reached out to take the hairpin from Fulai, and slowly coiled up his ponytail whip.

Nowadays, Princess Taiping is the most easily guessed person. Apart from her, there is almost no other woman who dares to tie a ponytail on the street.

Although she wasn't worried about safety, she didn't want to attract attention wherever she went, so she decided to change her appearance.

After coiling the braid, he fixed it with a hairpin, then turned his head and said, "Sisters, I'll wait together..."

"No, today we agreed to go back and play chess with Qingwan!" Princess Yiyang directly interrupted her invitation.

"Speaking of which, sister-in-law..."

Princess Xuancheng smiled: "It's not that you don't know Qingwan's temperament, she is very quiet, and she won't go out at this time. Yuechen will take Wan'er to play, I will go back first."

"What? Elder sister also wants to play chess?"

"I went back to check the accounts. The account books sent by the household department are almost full, and I have to finish it before tomorrow." Princess Xuancheng replied.

Li Yuechen frowned: "Sister, why don't you work harder?"

"It's too little, it's boring to calculate, why not save more at one time and calculate at the same time, can they be compared with each other?" Princess Xuancheng smiled.

To put it nicely, this is obviously procrastination, right?
However, Li Yuechen didn't bother to expose her, so he just nodded: "Okay, Wan'er and I will go shopping."

As he spoke, he waved to the bodyguards in casual clothes next to him: "Send the two sisters back!"

Although she said she was not worried about the princess's safety, in order to prevent someone with no eyesight from disturbing His Highness, Fu Lai doubled the number of bodyguards around her involuntarily on today's occasion.

The bodyguards agreed, and immediately assigned ten people to protect the two princesses back to the princess mansion, while the rest scattered and hid in the crowd.

Nowadays, after these royal bodyguards have been trained, once they choose to hide, they can hardly see any military aura on their bodies.

Coupled with the fact that it was popular for men to wear short hair in the Tang Dynasty, it is difficult to see their relatively short hair.

It can be said that, except that their beards are shorter than most people, they are almost the same as ordinary people in casual clothes.

Of course, the premise is that they don't know that there is an ax hidden in a certain part of their body...

Li Yuechen stretched out his hand to hold Shangguan Wan'er's hand: "There are many people, follow closely."

"Well, don't worry, Your Highness!" Shangguan Wan'er nodded, and exerted a little force on her hand.
