Great Tang princess

Chapter 52
In this era, most people living inland are landlubbers. Although there is a Luo River in Luoyang City, except for those who race dragon boats every year, basically few people can swim.

Li Zhi and Wu Zetian naturally couldn't swim, and they never thought about swimming.

So this time Li Yuechen decided to unlock new skills for the two of them, and went to the Shangyi Bureau the next day to let them make swimsuits.

As for the choice of fabrics, let the Shangyi Bureau take care of it.

After all, there is no way to do it. In this era, there are not so many compound fabrics in the future, and there is definitely no way to make the high-elastic swimsuits of the future.

The design drawing drawn by Li Yuechen is also very simple, the swimming trunks for Li Zhi are in the shape of big beach pants.

I and my mother Wu Zetian just make it like dead reservoir water.

In fact, she originally wanted to make it bikini-style, but considering the ethical issues of this era, she still didn't do that.

Although she comes from a fairly open era, it would be risqué to wear a bikini here.

……

It has to be said that the efficiency of the Shangyi Bureau is still good. It only took one day to make the design drawing drawn by Li Yuechen.

After getting the goods, Li Yuechen excitedly ran to the Hall of Renshou.

"Grandfather, mother, the swimsuit is ready, if you have nothing to do today, let's go swimming." Li Yuechen ran in and said directly.

Li Zhi, who was lying on the rocking chair, nodded: "Well, Mei Niang, is the memorial finished?"

"There are some more, and they will be finished soon." Wu Zetian promised, and continued to review the memorial.

Li Yuechen fought with Li Zhi and waited for a while.

After finishing, the group went to Anfu Hall, intending to go there directly after changing clothes.

When changing clothes, he threw the swimming trunks to Li Zhi, and Li Yuechen dragged his mother into the inner hall.

Li Zhi outside looked at the beach pants, and asked loudly, "Chen'er, where is the shirt?"

Li Yuechen poked his head out from behind: "My lord is a man, what's the use of a coat?"

Li Zhi thought about it, so he started to change his pants.

After a while, Wu Zetian's voice was heard in the inner hall: "Damn girl, can you wear these clothes?"

"Oh, anyway, I'm going to go into the water, and I won't be seen by outsiders. Is A Niang still afraid that Grandpa will see it?"

Li Yuechen was also full of helplessness.

You said that you didn't see you shy when you were facing up with your breasts half-exposed. It's okay to show your breasts, but you're awkward when you show your legs?
These days, the breasts of women in rich and noble families are lower than the other, and they are really not much worse than the low-cut suspenders in the future.

After dawdling for a long time, Wu Zetian reluctantly put on the swimsuit.

However, an order was also issued at the same time that only maids of honor could be present in the Kyushu Pond, and even eunuchs were not allowed to be present.

Even Zhang Chengxin, the general manager of the big house, was kicked out.

Originally, Li Zhi thought that she might be making a big deal out of a molehill, but when he saw Wu Zetian walking out wearing purple dead pool water, he was stunned for two seconds, and sighed in his heart that she was right.

After all, this kind of swimsuit can visually elongate the legs and make the whole body proportion look more attractive.

This also made Li Yuechen have to admire Wu Zetian's beauty. Now that he is in his fifties, his skin is still fair and firm, and he still looks smooth and rosy. He doesn't know how to do it.

And Li Zhi's figure is not bad. Although he doesn't have eight-pack abs, his stomach is not very obvious. He looks like those middle-aged rich people who are well maintained.

But there is one thing, perhaps because of his Xianbei blood, he is actually a little whiter than his mother Wu Zetian.

Seeing the swimsuits on his daughter and wife, Li Zhi smiled: "No wonder... Such clothes are really not suitable for outsiders to see."

Li Yuechen didn't care about these, he waved his hand and said: "Okay, there are all maids outside, let's go!"

All the way to Jiuzhou Lake, Wu Zetian is actually okay, after all, she is a palace lady all the way.

On the contrary, Li Zhi, although he was said to be a gentleman, walked all the way with his upper body naked, and felt a little blush when he felt the fiery eyes of the court ladies.

Thanks to the many beards on his face, he couldn't quite see it.

But the emperor was the emperor after all, so he quickly got used to it, and followed Li Yuechen forward with his head held high.

Soon came to Jiuzhou Pond. After all, it is running water, connected to Luoshui outside the imperial city, so it is quite clear and the water quality is also very good.

"Go straight down?" Li Zhi asked.

"No, Grandpa, it's best to warm up first."

"Warm up?" Li Zhi didn't know what it meant.

Therefore, after Li Yuechen instructed the two of them to do a set of radio gymnastics, they officially let them go into the water.

It is worth mentioning that for the convenience of entering the water, at Li Yuechen's request, Li Zhi's hair was also tied into a ponytail with a handsome face, making him look like an artist.

After entering the water, Li Yuechen began to teach them the simplest breaststroke.

In fact, I originally wanted to teach dogs to plan, but considering that the action is not elegant, I still taught breaststroke.

First of all, the most important thing is to get used to the fear of choking on water. In this regard, Li Yuechen is very experienced.

In fact, it is impossible for people to overcome fear!But you can get used to it!
It just so happened that Li Yuechen was someone who was used to working with fear. After all, she had done things like climbing cliffs nearly a thousand meters away with her bare hands, so she had a very good say in this aspect.

After telling them not to be afraid of choking on water, start teaching the movements.

Not to mention, both Li Zhi and Wu Zetian seemed to be talented in sports, and it took about half an hour to swim in the water in style.

Of course, it might look better without Li Yuechen, the white strip swimming around the two of them.

Being able to swim in the water in summer, both Li Zhi and his wife felt much cooler, and their originally irritable mood calmed down a lot.

The two stood in shallow water, with only the neck above exposed to the water, taking a break.

Li Zhijiang stroked the braids on the back of his head with his hand, shook his head and threw it behind him, and smiled slightly: "Playing in this pool of water for a while, it really cools down a lot."

"Yeah, I'm afraid it's almost the same as soaking in hot springs in winter." Wu Zetian laughed beside him.

While chatting, the two looked at Li Yuechen lying on the water, his hands still, only his two white and tender legs swaying slightly, allowing himself to float back and forth on the water.

"It's really unexpected that Chen'er's water skills are so good." Li Zhi smiled and shook his head, "It's weird, it's weird..."

Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows: "It is estimated that they have secretly entered the water to play, but I just don't know."

"It is indeed possible." Li Zhi nodded in agreement.

……

After swimming all afternoon, the three of them came out of the pool just before sunset, ready to go back to take a bath and change clothes.

Li Yuechen really felt refreshed, as expected, he still had to swim in summer.

After going back to take a shower and changing clothes, Li Yuechen lay on his rocking chair, drying his wet hair.

While drying, I thought about the feasibility of hair dryers in this era.

To say that the small hair dryer in the future is unlikely, but if it is a large hair dryer, it is still possible.

In theory, as long as you make a stove and blow it with a blower, you can blow out hot air.

The big deal is that people stay away from the air outlet, and don't have to worry about burning their hair or something.

Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to wash your hair in winter.

When it comes to washing, the first thing that comes to mind is soap, but how do you make that thing?

Li Yuechen remembered that he had learned it, but it took too long, so he couldn't remember it for a while.

After all, the time is too long, and many things are just a sporadic memory, and there is no way to fully recall them.

……

Throughout the summer, Li Yuechen spent a lot of time in the Jiuzhou Pool.

Not only Li Zhi and his wife, but also the two older sisters and Shangguan Wan'er were pulled over by her to swim together.

At first, the two older sisters were embarrassed to face Li Zhi wearing dead water, but they were able to let go after getting used to it.

The only bad thing is that the swimsuits of this era are not very durable, and they will not work after a few times.

But it doesn't matter, the royal family, there is still such a thing.

Li Yuechen has been swimming all summer, and many things have happened in the hall.

Hundreds of surnames were officially promoted and became the latest children's enlightenment books.

Before that, it was usually "Thousand Characters" or "Jijiu Pian", which is still a little esoteric for children.

As soon as these hundred surnames came out, even though those aristocratic families were unwilling to promote them, they had to admit that this thing was really useful for enlightening children.

Along with the popularization of surnames, the four characters of Princess Taiping have gradually become known to more people.

Although the health ball at the beginning is also popular in Chang'an and Dongdu, but that thing is just for fun, and I'm not interested in who invented it.

But the princess plow and punctuation marks later made Li Yuechen known to the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.

Today's hundreds of surnames let people all over the country who read this article know that this is the work of today's princess.

Li Yuechen knew that there must be many aristocratic families who hated him so much, but there was no way, who made his mother a princess?

The reaction from the aristocratic family has little to do with her. What Li Yuechen cares about now is harvesting fruit peels.

That's right, after a whole June, Li Yuechen started to harvest the fruit peels, and planned to use them for composting.

At the beginning of July, news came from Gao Kan in Anshicheng that things in Korea had basically stabilized.

But this time has been wrangling with Silla, asking them to hand over An Shun.

But Silla seems to be planning to use this matter to gain some benefits or something else, and has been holding back.

So Gao Kan asked to send troops to Silla.

However, Li Zhi refused on the grounds that the severe drought in recent years was not suitable for sending troops.

Li Yuechen, who was listening to the news, nodded. She also thought it was not suitable to send troops at this time.

At most, Silla dared to shout twice, but if they really wanted to fight, they didn't have the guts.

Li Yuechen's own idea is that if they bark, let them bark. We should cultivate our lives and recuperate first. If he dares to do something, it won't be too late to beat him.

Li Zhi seemed to have the same idea, so he did not allow Gao Kan's request to send troops, but let him stay there to appease the Korean survivors.

……

In mid-July, the palace received news that Fulai would be back soon, and it was estimated that he would be back in three days at most.

And he brought back hundreds of catties of canned lychees.

Li Zhi was very happy when he received the news, he could finally eat lychees!
Originally, Li Yuechen was thinking of finding someone to go outside the city to find a place to fertilize, but now that Fulai is back, it would be good to leave this matter to him.

Three days later, Fulai returned to the palace.

The first thing he did when he came back was definitely to meet the emperor, and Li Yuechen also went to the Hall of Renshou.

After Fulai came in, he immediately saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have seen a saint, Your Majesty, Your Highness!"

"Exemption!" Li Zhi raised his hand, the health care ball in his hand was flying fast, obviously in a good mood, "Fulai, how much can you bring back this time?"

"Back to the sage, the servants brought back a total of more than nine hundred and thirty catties, nearly a thousand jars."

Li Zhi nodded: "Not bad..."

Then he rewarded some things casually as hard work, and Fulai saluted and thanked him.

Li Yuechen jumped over the table and came to Fulai, and walked around him.

Fulai was a little puzzled: "Your Highness, what's wrong with the slave?"

"Well, it's quite dark." Li Yuechen nodded with a smile.

"Eh..." Fulai was slightly taken aback, and then boldly said, "Your Highness has also grown a lot taller."

Li Yuechen looked down at himself: "Is there any? Forget it, I just came back, take a good rest for two days, and then get ready to do things."

"Here!"

Li Zhi waved his hand: "Go down!"

After Fulai withdrew, Li Zhi couldn't wait to ask Zhang Chengxin to bring some canned food to taste with his wife and daughter.

After opening the wax-sealed porcelain jar, soaked in sugar water, lychees like crystals appeared in front of my eyes.

Li Zhi couldn't wait to scoop one out with a spoon and put it into his mouth. After enjoying it with his eyes closed, he swallowed it slowly.

Li Yuechen who was next to him raised his eyebrows, wondering if it's true?Isn't it just a lychee?
But then think about it, after all, it is not easy for the emperor to eat this thing once in this era, and it is understandable.

Wu Zetian was not much better than him, and he also felt the taste of lychees in his mouth with a look of enjoyment.

Li Yuechen was relatively more casual. First, she didn't like sweets very much, and second, she had eaten this stuff before, and she didn't have the novelty of them.

What she was thinking at this time was how much money could she make if she could sell this batch of canned food?
Or if it is possible in the future, is it worthwhile to form a canned caravan specializing in lychees?

After all, there are still many things Li Yuechen wants to do in the future, and it is foreseeable that a lot of money will be needed in the future.

So finding a way to make money is the top priority now, and more importantly, as long as Li Zhi can see his ability to make money, maybe he can reform the tax law.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the problem of floating households.

Of course, if you think about it, the reform of the tax law will definitely involve many problems, and it is not something that can be solved with a single sentence.

But it doesn't matter, these things can be done slowly, just take it slowly.

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen smiled, scooped out a lychee with a spoon, and threw it into his mouth!
