Great Tang princess

Chapter 414 Sister's Request

On weekdays, when Li Yuechen walks on the street, there is a high probability that he will be recognized.

A bright red round-neck gown with a simple and neat high ponytail is the exclusive attire for Princess Taiping. If there is a strong man with an ax hanging on his body next to him, then it is most likely to be confirmed.

Although it is said that Princess Taiping's attire sparked a trend of imitation, to this day, no woman dares to wear a high ponytail on the street.

This kind of attire is often ignored when you are relaxing at home, and you definitely dare not go out like this.

However, today is different. Li Yuechen is wearing a light blue skirt, an animal skin cloak, and a flower plaster on his forehead. He looks like an ordinary woman.

Walking with Shangguan Wan'er and the others, apart from the fact that her walking posture is somewhat different from that of ordinary women, unless you have seen her in person, it is impossible to tell that she is Princess Taiping.

It was just dusk at this time, and the sky hadn't completely darkened yet, but candles were already lit in many lanterns.

The number of pedestrians on the street has gradually increased. Apart from ordinary people, there are also many believers of different sects who take advantage of this opportunity to take to the streets to preach.

In addition, there are many people who are holding sacrificial activities. The people running in the front are wearing grimace masks on their faces. While showing their teeth and claws to the people around them, they are running along the street with strange steps on their feet. .

The people next to them were not afraid when they saw the scary mask, they just waved their hands and made gestures to drive them away.

And there was a person behind him, who kept flicking the whip in his hand, making bursts of "popping" explosions in the air, driving the masked person forward.

Li Yuechen looked at the unique sacrificial methods of this era, and found it very interesting. At the same time, he couldn't help but think again, if this custom can continue for thousands of years, it might be a very interesting thing.

As the sky gradually darkened, the originally bright sky also turned dark blue, like the bottom of the sea.

The dots of stars became dimmer than usual in the lights of the city.

Seeing the "evil ghost" being driven away gradually, Li Yuechen and others who had stopped to watch for a while also continued to walk forward.

Every time you pass by the entrance of a square market, you can basically hear the sound of hawking inside.

If it's some small toys and the like, maybe a few people will buy a few to play with, but if it's food, for safety's sake, forget it.

After all, the group of them was very conspicuous walking on the street, and almost no one dared to approach them.

After all, just from the appearance, they are not ordinary people, even if they are not relatives of the emperor, at least they are rich and powerful.

The sisters, together with Guan Wan'er, are a beautiful sight when walking on the street.

If it were a thousand years later, these few beauties would surely attract a lot of attention if they were walking on the street.

However, in this era, few people dare to stare at them all the time. The pressure of class is so obvious.

……

As the night gradually deepened, the lights of the streets and squares became more and more obvious.

It's just that candlelight is limited after all, and there is no way to illuminate the entire street like neon lights and street lights.

In addition, the streets in this era are generally relatively wide, so the few people walking in the middle are basically hidden in the shadows, and basically only an outline can be seen ten meters away.

While chatting and walking, Li Yuechen suddenly felt that his hand was being grabbed.

Turning her head to look at Shangguan Wan'er next to her, she responded with a sweet smile and did not speak.

Li Yuechen smiled, turned his wrist a little, and interlocked his fingers with hers.

I don't know if it's because Shangguan Wan'er's hands are cold because she didn't wear gloves.

"Wan'er, I suddenly remembered something!"

"What's the matter?" Shangguan Wan'er turned her head curiously and asked.

"It is said that people with cold hands have been heartbroken by others in their previous lives!"

"is it?"

Shangguan Wan'er was a little puzzled, she usually read a lot of books, but she had never heard of such a legend.

But she shook her head: "The past life has nothing to do with my present life, but...His Highness's hand is very hot, very warm!"

"Oh, that may mean that I will break other people's hearts in my life!" Li Yuechen laughed.

"Your Highness won't!" Shangguan Wan'er immediately denied, her tone was very firm.

Li Yuechen turned his head: "How can I be sure?"

"Intuition!" Shangguan Wan'er smiled confidently, "Your Highness will not make anyone around you sad!"

It has to be said that Shangguan Wan'er is also an overly intelligent person. After so many years of getting along, she has basically seen through Li Yuechen.

She just smiled at this and did not continue the topic.

"Chen'er, what are you talking about? Whispering?" Princess Xuancheng approached with a smile and asked.

"I'm talking about whether I will make others sad." Li Yuechen laughed.

Princess Xuancheng hugged her shoulders all of a sudden, and rubbed her face twice with her own cheek: "Chen'er won't do it!"

"If Chen'er can make people sad, then there will be no reliable person in this world!" Princess Yiyang said.

The words of the two sisters made the elder sister-in-law Pei Qingwan nod repeatedly in agreement.

"Don't worry, I won't make you sad!" Li Yuechen grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

……

As soon as the Shangyuan Festival is over, the country has entered a busy new year.

In the afternoon of the next day, Li Yuechen ran to Prince Yu's Mansion and found fourth brother Li Dan.

Today's Li Yuechen changed back to his usual attire, so he should wear less women's attire in the future.

In the room, Li Dan closed his eyes lightly, and the guqin lying on the table made a rhythm of ups and downs under the nimble movement of his slender fingers, resounding in the space.

Surrounded by the sound of the piano, the rhythm gradually became more intense from the beginning of the gentle, one after another.

Finally, after a burst of high pitched soaring into the sky, it gradually calmed down.

Finally, in a burst of softness as if memories had just climbed to the peak, the song ended.

Li Dan got up slowly, picked up the teacup, and took a sip: "Yuechen is here, is there something important?"

"Not really, it's just a small thing."

Li Yuechen, who had just finished listening to a concert, also lightly sipped his tea, and replied relaxedly.

Hearing that it was just a trivial matter, Li Dan nodded: "But it's okay, Brother Wei will definitely help you solve it."

Since childhood, this younger sister has always been omnipotent and can solve all things.

Since I asked for it today, it must be something that only I can do.

Li Dan, who loved his sister since childhood, decided to solve it for her as soon as possible.

"Well, my brother also knows that I will go to Qingzhou in a while, and I will go for two or three years. But now the Ministry of War cannot be empty, so..."

Before Li Yuechen finished speaking, Li Dan got up suddenly: "Oh, Yuechen, you don't know something. Recently, my brother has been feeling unwell... It's not that I don't want to help you, it's really powerless..."

Originally, he thought that his sister had some difficulties, but he didn't expect to let him act as Minister of the Ministry of War.

Just kidding, I don't even want the emperor to let me be an official?
Li Dan, who originally thought that he must help his sister solve the difficulties, immediately felt unwell, as if he had some serious illness.

Li Yuechen didn't seem to have expected that the old brother would be so realistic, and the atmosphere of being brothers and sisters was reversed in an instant!

"Besides brother, I really can't think of anyone else who can take my place." Li Yuechen begged with a pitiful look.

"No, no, there is nothing that Yuechen can't solve since he was a child. I believe that this matter will definitely be resolved!"

Once he stood up while talking, pushed his sister's shoulders and walked out: "Speaking of which, I still have something to do with my brother, so I won't stay..."

Before I finished speaking, I found that I couldn't push it suddenly.

Li Yuechen stood at the door with a blank expression, she was still one step away from going out, but she seemed to have taken root under her feet, no matter how hard Li Dan pushed her shoulders, she just remained motionless.

At this time, Li Dan felt that there was no one person in front of him, but a wall, which could not be shaken by manpower.

"Brother, don't you really plan to help me?" Li Yuechen asked angrily.

To be honest, when a brother sees his sister like this, he would have agreed to it long ago under normal circumstances.

But Li Dan was different. After all, his elder brother Li Xian was forced to become the prince and emperor because of this.
So now Li Dan is not fooled by his younger sister at all, he shook his head and insisted: "No, I don't want to be Minister of the Ministry of War!"

"It's just acting for a while..."

"Not for a day!" Li Dan insisted on shaking his head.

Seeing that brother is so stubborn, Li Yuechen had no choice but to use his trump card: "If I can't persuade brother, then I have to tell mother..."

"Yuechen, it's too much!" Li Dan opened his eyes wide, "Aniang is already old, don't you need to tell me about such things?"

"That can't be helped, brother wouldn't help me!" Li Yuechen played a rogue.

"This……"

For a while, Li Dan didn't know what method to use to fight back. This is a typical example of my sister relying on herself.

After thinking about it, he also knew that he couldn't hold back his sister, so he had no choice but to be emotional and rational: "Yuechen, it's not because of my brother that I don't help. Think about it, my brother has never fought in battle, and he hasn't read many military books." Ben, how can you become Minister of the Ministry of War?"

"Brother, don't worry, I asked him to act as an agent because he is a prince and can hold people down. As for the specific matters, I will arrange someone to handle them!" Li Yuechen replied with a smile.

Li Dan thought for a while: "Brother?"

Of course he wasn't asking about Li Xian, but about Li Xian, the second child who was currently in the barracks.

"That's right!" Li Yuechen replied with a nod, "Brother has a special status and is not suitable for direct responsibility, so Dandan, you need to support this matter on the facade!"

Seeing that she moved out her second elder brother, Li Dan couldn't continue to say anything. After sighing helplessly, he could only agree.

"But let's talk about it first, I really can't handle the military affairs, and I still need to let my brother make up many decisions at that time!" Li Dan reminded.

Li Yuechen nodded: "Don't worry, the Minister of the Ministry of War can't deal with ordinary trivial matters, brother, you just need to keep up the facade!"

"Maybe my brother really owed you a karma in the previous life..." Li Dan shook his head helplessly and sat down.

……

After finishing the matter on the fourth brother's side, Li Yuechen ran to the barracks the next day and explained the matter to the second brother.

In the office, Li Xian also looked helpless: "Now that I am a common man, why do I feel busier than when I was the prince?"

"It's hard work for those who are capable!" Li Yuechen said with a smile, "Doesn't this just mean that brother has outstanding ability?"

"Stop it!"

Li Xian grew up watching this younger sister flattering his parents since he was a child, and he didn't like her at all: "Brother Wei is only the brigade commander of the joint logistics brigade now, why bother with that general?"

"Brother, just help me once, okay?" Li Yuechen looked serious.

Seeing her serious expression, Li Xian was silent for two seconds, and finally nodded: "Okay... I will help you once!"

"Thank you, brother!" Li Yuechen nodded, "Don't worry, I will bring you some seaside specialties for brother when I come back!"

"Go, go..." Li Xian waved his hand, "You can come back earlier, thank God for my brother."

Li Yuechen thought for a while: "I will try my best!"

Although the two elder brothers looked very disgusted, they finally helped, and Li Yuechen was very grateful to them.

It's just that I can't help but think that the practice of princes since ancient times should be to fight for power and profit.

But now this style of fishing and playing bad, could it be because of his own influence?
But even so, it's still better than blood relatives.

……

After the two elder brothers were settled, other people's affairs were arranged next.

Wang Wuqiong followed her with the selected female soldiers, and they will start training there then.

At the same time, because the children of the royal family are going to go there, the military academy has to be moved there, so that the children can take classes there.

In this way, Lun Qinling and Wang Xiaojie will follow suit.

Originally, Li Yuechen planned to bring Princess Xuancheng with her, but now that she is serving as the servant of the household department, she decided to give up.

It seems that I can only take Lu Zhaolin there. As for the mathematics course, I'd better teach it by myself at that time.

Things have been arranged one by one, and all departments are basically ready, ready to go at any time.

After the first month passed, the hall had been very quiet. Li Yuechen planned to wait a little longer. If everything was fine, he would wait until March before setting off.

According to the calculation of the distance, it will take two months to go to Qingdao from here, and it is about right to start in March.

Li Yuechen also planned to take advantage of this time to see how the news of the queen's ascension to the throne would affect neighboring countries.

If someone thinks that they can make troubles while the internal imperial power is changing, then Li Yuechen doesn't mind leaving later, and clean up the foreign enemies who dare to provoke.

After waiting for a month, until the end of February, there was no news about the war.

It seems that at least for now, foreign enemies are naturally in awe of this side.

That being the case, Li Yuechen didn't have anything to worry about. He immediately notified him and prepared to set off on the fifth day of March.

After receiving the news, everyone immediately took action.

Li Xian and Li Dan also took over the job assigned to them by their sister with helpless faces, ready to take office at any time.

It stands to reason that the ministers should be notified of this kind of thing, but Wu Zetian didn't explain it in the court. It was obvious that he planned to cut it first and then play it.

Li Yuechen wasn't in the mood to think about these things. Recently, he spent most of his time playing with Shangguan Wan'er every day.

　I wanted to mop the floor last night, but the plastic shell on the back of the mop fell off, and the iron sheet underneath was very sharp, and I cut my finger if I didn't hold it firmly.

　　The injury is not serious, but it happened to be on the finger, so I'm sorry, it may only be updated once a day during this period.

　　I hope you can continue to support this book, and I promise to reply and update as soon as the injury recovers!

　　Thank you for your trust and support all the time!
