Great Tang princess

Chapter 37 Master's Secret

Perhaps it was because he felt a little unpleasant in the court, so in order not to think about it, Li Yuechen focused all his attention on making a snowman.

Shangguan Wan'er was at the side helping her, and not long after, a chubby, naive snowman had already appeared outside the gate of Chengxiang Palace.

Li Yuechen patted the snowflakes on the gloves, took two steps back, crossed his hips, and looked proud.

Shangguan Wan'er clapped her hands with her big bright eyes open beside her: "Your Highness is amazing!"

The snowmen of this era are relatively ordinary, because they all try to find ways to lean towards people, so they are very thin.

And Li Yuechen's snowman is chubby, although it is not vivid, but it highlights a "stupid and cute" feeling, which is more popular with children.

Two eyes were made out of black charcoal, and a piece of red paper was rolled up to make a small pointed nose.

A bunch of tiny dead wood branches make a curved smiling face underneath, and the facial features look very cute.

With two wooden sticks inserted on both sides of the body, the future cute snowman appeared in this world for the first time.

Not only Shangguan Wan'er, but also Zheng Shi, Xiao He and Fulai all gathered around to watch.

The maids next to him were all discussing the cuteness of this snowman, which was different from the snowmen they had seen so far.

Li Yuechen turned his head and smiled: "Come on, come on, let's have a competition, just like this, make a snowman out. Two people, let's start!"

The servants next to him were waiting for this sentence. As soon as the princess spoke, they ran over and began to build snowmen.

Li Yuechen took two steps back and came to the steps.

Looking at the silver-clad Daming Palace, I wondered whether I should make a sled and pull it with two dogs.

Just as he was thinking, he saw Fulai still standing aside, and couldn't help being curious: "Why don't you go?"

Fulai smiled slightly: "It's better for the maidservant to accompany His Highness, in case something happens, it's better to bring tea and water, right?"

Li Yuechen smiled slightly, this guy would show his loyalty.Sure enough, those who can get ahead in this palace are all human beings.

So he waved his hand: "It's okay, I have been taken care of by Eunuch Fu since I was a child. I work hard on weekdays and occasionally have fun. I will not complain to my parents! I will call you again if I have something to do!"

Hearing what she said, Fulai's expression was obviously a little moved, and he asked cautiously: "Then...the servant is going?"

Li Yuechen smiled and waved his hands: "Go!"

Fulai saluted: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Then he turned around and went to build a snowman with them. While having a great time playing, he also devoted part of his attention to Li Yuechen in case something happened to her suddenly.

After all, play is for fun, trouble is for trouble, and one's job should not be forgotten.

After building a snowman all afternoon, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian came over to have a look at it in person near dusk.

Then he said that he should go to the gate of Yanying Hall tomorrow and piled up two, looking festive.

Of course, Li Yuechen said that there was no problem, saying that he would go after practicing the exercises tomorrow.

……

Early the next morning, Li Yuechen got up as usual to practice yoga with Shangguan Wan'er and her two older sisters.

After breakfast, I ran to the front yard to practice. The snow on the ground had already been cleaned up by the servants, so there was no need to worry about slipping.

However, halfway through the practice, Fulai suddenly came over and stood beside him with some hesitation.

The main reason is that Li Yuechen told her not to disturb her when she was practicing.

Fulai may be uncertain, with a hesitant expression on his face.

With a "huh", Li Yuechen punched straight, stopped, took a deep breath, and asked without looking back, "What's the matter?"

Fulai replied respectfully: "Return to Your Highness, someone is asking to see you!"

see me?

Li Yuechen was puzzled. With Fulai's attitude, it meant that the person who came was definitely not a member of the royal family, but an outsider...she seemed to have no acquaintance with her.

"who?"

"Li Daochang's son, Li Yan!" Fulai replied.

Hearing this name, Li Yuechen looked puzzled.

Although it is true that she is Li Chunfeng's apprentice, she has never met his son. Why did he come to find her?

"Where are the people?"

"Outside Zhaoqing Gate."

Li Yuechen was silent for two seconds and thought for a while, then waved his hand: "Then go and have a look."

All the way to the gate of Zhaoqing, I saw the middle-aged man in Taoist robe at a glance.

The man looked about 40 years old, but the beard on his face made him look mature.

He was also wearing a Taoist robe, and next to him was a wooden box that seemed to be almost knee-high.

Seeing Li Yuechen approaching with a puzzled expression, he immediately bowed and said, "Blessings are immeasurable, I have seen Your Highness the Princess!"

Li Yuechen raised his hand: "Li Taishi is free of courtesy, so I don't know what you want to do with me?"

Li Yan nodded slightly: "My father once said that if he leaves one day, he will hand over these classics to His Highness!"

In a word, Li Yuechen's pupils trembled twice.

what's the situation?He knew he was going to die?
While puzzled in my heart, I also asked aloud: "Books? Is it Taoism?"

Li Yan shook his head slightly: "My father liked to study arithmetic and astrology during his lifetime. These are all kinds of annotated classics."

Hearing his words, Li Yuechen knelt down and opened it to have a look.

There are a lot of people coming and going around here, opening it in this kind of place can also save some doubts.

Sure enough, this box is filled with various classics, such as "Five Cao Suan Jing", "Nine Chapters of Suan Shu", etc...

Li Yuechen nodded, stood up and waved to Fulai: "Take it back!"

Then he raised his hand to Li Yan and performed a Taoist etiquette: "Thank you Li Taishi."

"Don't dare!" Li Yan replied, "The next official will leave first."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left, without any intention of saying anything else.

Staring at his leaving back, Li Yuechen was silent for two seconds, then turned his head and brought Fulai back to Chengxiang Palace.

After this incident, Li Yuechen was not in the mood to continue practicing, so he sat in front of the table, opened the box, took out the topmost book of Five Cao Mathematical Classics and read it.

After Fulai saluted, he turned around and went out. Li Yuechen looked up, and beside him Mrs. Zheng was teaching Shangguan Wan'er to read, and the two of them were paying attention.

Xiao He was not in the hall either, and the maid in charge of wiping the floor didn't even pay attention to this side.

Only then did Li Yuechen flip through several pages quickly, and took out a letter that was sandwiched between the pages.

She had already discovered it when she was squatting on the ground looking through it just now, but at that time Fulai didn't see it from behind her.

And Li Yuechen didn't open it on the spot, and brought it back as if nothing happened.

Now that no one was paying attention to him, Li Yuechen scanned the surroundings before opening the envelope and looking at it.

The letter wasn't long, it didn't even fill a single sheet of paper.

Li Yuechen quickly finished reading the letter, and he was relieved after reading the whole article.

Originally, she thought that what she would see when she opened the letter would be: "Good boy! I know you are a time traveler!" Something like this.

It's no wonder she thought so, after all, the names of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng are still resounding after more than a thousand years.

However, this letter only said that Li Chunfeng knew that his time was approaching, and since he accepted her as his apprentice, he knew that she would really value these classics, so he entrusted these things to her...

Li Yuechen read the letter over and over for a long time, but did not find any hidden information.

It seems to be understood literally.

So, how on earth did he conclude that I definitely valued these things?Li Yuechen was lost in thought.

After an unknown amount of time, I suddenly heard Shangguan Wan'er's voice next to me: "Your Highness, Your Highness!"

"Huh?" Li Yuechen came back to his senses, "Is there something wrong?"

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head: "It's just that His Highness has been in a daze for a long time, and I have some doubts."

Li Yuechen shook his head with a smile, then rolled up the letter in his hand, raised his hand and shook it, the paper ball drew a parabola, and landed accurately in the charcoal brazier next to him.

Seeing the ball of paper burnt completely in the charcoal brazier, Li Yuechen shook his head lightly, deciding not to think about it.

She doesn't know whether people can know that their time is approaching, but she instinctively feels that Li Chunfeng should be hiding something.

But this secret, I'm afraid it can only be a secret forever.

Shangguan Wan'er lowered her head, looked at the classics left by Li Chunfeng beside her, and was a little curious: "Your Highness, what is arithmetic?"

"Anaithology..." Li Yuechen thought for a while, "It's the language of dialogue with nature and heaven!"

Li Yuechen is not a mathematician, but he still remembers what the elementary school math teacher said: Mathematics is the foundation of all sciences!

Of course, I still remember this sentence not because she likes mathematics so much, but because the mathematics teacher is so good-looking!

"Is it Taoism?" Shangguan Wan'er asked with her eyes wide open.

"No and no..." Li Yuechen stood up with a smile, "This is the technique to answer the truth of heaven and earth."

As for how to deal with these books, Li Yuechen hasn't figured it out yet.

Because she herself is not interested in mathematics, this kind of ancient mathematics in classical Chinese is even more unbearable.

but……

Li Yuechen suddenly thought that in the future, she might be able to organize an institution like an orphanage, in which mathematics would become a mainstream subject.

It's not that they don't want to promote it on a large scale, but in this era, the power of powerful families is still quite large.

It is impossible to promote a discipline without their consent.

The power of the clan is so huge that even the royal family cannot easily contend with it.

Li Zhi and Wu Zetian have been developing the imperial examinations and suppressing the powerful for so many years, but... with little success!
In the final analysis, the key reason is that reading is a very luxurious thing in this era, and ordinary people cannot afford to read books.

This is not a problem that can be solved by developing a printing industry. The most important thing is that ordinary people have to care about the harvest in the field every day, and they have no extra energy to study and read.

To put it bluntly, there is too little food and not enough to eat.If you are not careful, you will face the risk of starvation.

In this case, not to mention reducing costs, even if the books are free and given away for free, not many people have the time and energy to read.

Li Yuechen came to the entrance of the hall with leisurely steps, looked at the sun outside which was almost at noon, and muttered to himself.

"Master, you really left me with a big problem...there is a long way to go!"

At noon, after dinner, the two princesses Xuancheng and Yiyang also came over and asked Li Yuechen if there was anything to do in the afternoon.

"It's free to have fun today." Li Yuechen smiled and waved his hands, "Eunuch Fu, go and call some of my elder brothers, and go to Yanying Hall together to make snowmen for parents!"

"Here!" Fulai agreed, and turned to inform the princes.

After Li Yuechen opened a can in Chengxiang Hall and shared with the two sisters, he set off for Yanying Hall.

When we arrived, the four older brothers had already arrived.

"Yuechen, you asked me to come here, how can I be late?" Big brother Li Hong reprimanded pretending to be angry.

"I forgot the time for a while, and I came late. Brothers, don't blame them. Afterwards, Yuechen will give them a bottle of canned food to make amends!" Li Yuechen said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Li Xian tilted his head, "A bottle of canned food will send me away?"

Li Yuechen raised his head: "What does the second brother mean?"

"Two cans!" Li Xian replied.

Li Hong next to him had a dark face, turned his head and shouted in a low voice: "Bastard! Taking advantage of my little sister, how shameless?"

Li Xian looked aggrieved: "Why are you blaming me? It was Yuechen who was late..."

The third son, Li Xian, came out to smooth things over: "Brother, don't be angry, it's not a business today, it's just late, it doesn't get in the way."

"Yes!" Li Lun also nodded in agreement.

The three younger brothers have said so, what else can Li Hong say?

In fact, he doesn't care, but as an elder brother, he is like a father, and as an elder brother, he still needs to show some majesty.

However, he is not a majestic character, and in front of this younger sister, he is not majestic at all.

He could only sigh helplessly, and nodded her forehead: "Be careful next time!"

"Yes—" Li Yuechen pretended to be serious and saluted, "Okay, let's quickly make a snowman for my parents."

It was also the first time for the princes to participate in this kind of activity collectively. Curious and excited, they began to follow Li Yuechen to build a snowman.

This is not a difficult exercise in itself, and I got used to it after a while, and then I started to act according to the plan.

The servants next to them were responsible for transporting fresh white snow, and they piled it up there little by little.

When Li Zhi and Wu Zetian came out to look at it in the middle of the afternoon, they found that about [-] snowmen had been piled up on both sides of the Yanying Hall, like soldiers lined up, neatly arranged in two squares and standing on both sides. .

"Hey! It's quite a lot!" Li Zhi laughed, and the health ball in his hand was spinning a lot faster, "Come in and have some tea, don't be tired."

"Everyone is white and fat, and it looks really festive." Wu Zetian next to him also nodded with a smile.

The children saluted the couple respectfully, only Li Yuechen rushed up the steps with two trots, slipped in front of the two of them, and bumped his head into Wu Zetian's arms.

Li Yuechen's current height is just enough to hug her waist, so he hugged her and raised his head: "Amiang, do you like it?"

Wu Zetian lowered his head: "If Chen'er can be quieter like this snowman, I will like it even more."

Before Li Yuechen had time to explain, Li Zhi who was next to her had already hugged her: "It's okay, Chen'er is still young now, it's better to be lively!"

Seeing him pampering his daughter so much again, Wu Zetian heaved a sigh of relief, rolled his eyes and turned back.

Li Zhi smiled and waved to the other children: "Okay, come in and have some tea to warm up!"

After speaking, he hugged Li Yuechen and walked inside.

The brothers and sisters behind also followed into the Yanying Hall with smiles on their faces.

　Li Chunfeng in history passed away in this year. Regarding the cause of death, the historical record is "passing away", which means a sudden death without knowing the reason.

　　Because the author has always felt that Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng have a lot of fantasy, but this novel is not a fantasy background, so the plot is arranged like this, and everyone will be backlashed when it is the fate of the protagonist... But Rest assured, this book is not a fantasy background.
