Great Tang princess

Chapter 55 The Mid-Autumn Festival
Now Li Zhi really thinks so, and at the same time, he is happy and proud of having such a daughter.

Wu Zetian next to him looked at him with a smile on his face, obviously knowing what he was thinking.

Although he always looks stern towards his daughter on weekdays, but at this moment, he is also proud of his daughter in his heart.

After all, she is her own daughter, no matter how strict she is on the surface, it is for her own good.But in his heart, he is still very fond of him.

Not long after, they saw Li Yuechen bouncing back, and Fulai behind him beckoned someone to come back with a few wooden barrels on a pole.

"Huh? Two adults are here."

Li Yuechen trotted over and greeted the two of them.

"Chen'er, tell me, this poem..."

Li Zhi was about to ask a question, but was suddenly interrupted by Li Yuechen.

"Grandpa has something to talk about later, let the child get this fertilizer into the ground first, otherwise the smell will dissipate, and I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well tonight."

As he said that, he hurriedly called people to sprinkle the fertilizer in the barrel into the garden, and then took a hoe and started digging the soil to bury the fertilizer.

"you……"

Seeing that she dared to let the emperor wait, Wu Zetian opened his mouth to teach her a lesson, but was stopped by Li Zhi.

Li Yuechen also took a small shovel and began to dig the soil, and told the people who brought back the fertilizer to bury it in the ground.

After the barrel was opened, the smell of biochemical weapons permeated instantly, and the people around frowned subconsciously.

Zhang Chengxin came over and said: "The sage should wait outside with the empress first, this thing is pungent..."

"No problem!" Li Zhi waved his hand, "My daughter has already done it herself, so why not just watch here?"

Wu Zetian smiled and stood by her side to watch with her.

Xiao He reacted very quickly, and immediately ran over: "Your Highness, why don't you help me..."

"Back off! You don't understand what I'm doing for you, just watch!" Li Yuechen waved his hand, and continued to dig the soil with a small shovel to bury the fertilizer.

It's only the end of July now, and the weather is still quite hot. After a while, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Li Yuechen's forehead.

Li Zhi next to him was standing at the entrance of the hall, with a health ball in his hand, enduring the unpleasant smell and watching his daughter work.

Fortunately, the land is not too big, only more than [-] square meters, and it didn't take too long to get it done.

After everything was done, Li Yuechen's hands were inevitably covered with a layer of dirt.

After throwing down the small shovel, he raised his hand to wipe the fine layer of sweat on his forehead, revealing a little face that was slightly flushed after exercising.

Then he jumped over the fence of Linbo Pavilion and jumped in front of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, stretched out two small black hands in the shape of claws, and roared: "Wow——"

"Are you still? Go wash your hands!" Wu Zetian yelled with his eyes wide open, and at the same time raised his hand as if to hit him.

"Go here, go here!" Li Yuechen grinned and ran to the backyard to wash his hands.

Li Zhi couldn't help grinning beside him, and raised his hand to stroke his beard.

Fulai gave some rewards to those who helped fertilize and left, and came to report today's itinerary to Li Zhi and Wu Zetian.

After a while, Li Yuechen trotted back after washing his hands.

Then Li Zhi squatted down, picked up the piece of paper in his hand and asked, "Chen'er, when did you write this poem?"

Seeing the paper in his hand, Li Yuechen froze for a moment.

Fuck, forgot to get this done!

However, he immediately explained: "This is what my child felt when he left the palace last time and saw farmers working in the fields."

Li Zhi was not too entangled in this aspect, anyway, Li Yuechen would run out of the palace every now and then, which was nothing new.

Li Zhi raised his hand and touched his daughter's head, his expression seemed to be a little sighing: "Chen'er has the world in his heart, and it is my and Meiniang's blessing to have you!"

"That's because there are two adults who will have a child!" Li Yuechen smiled and opened his arms to give him a hug, "This is also a blessing for a child!"

Li Zhi patted his daughter's back slightly with his hands in relief.

Then Li Yuechen came to Wu Zetian again, opened his arms and said, "Mother, squat down and give me a hug!"

"How old are you still hugging?"

Having said that, Wu Zetian still squatted down and gave her a hug with a feeling of integrity.

Li Yuechen leaned against her face: "No matter how old you are, the baby will always be A Niang's daughter!"

As he spoke, he kissed her hard on the face, with a particularly loud voice.

It made Wu Zetian blush a little, and he stretched out his finger and tapped her head hard.

After fighting for a while, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian went back, and before leaving, they took the poem with them.

Li Yuechen felt a little helpless, with Li Zhi's current character, I'm afraid he will show off to the ministers in the court next time, right?

After thinking about it, Li Yuechen decided not to attend the next court meeting by himself, in order to prevent the society from dying.

……

Time passed day by day, and a batch of fruit peels would be delivered to the store in Nanshi almost every two days.

Li Yuechen handed over to the servants to deal with, and threw the good ones into the soil and buried them. If there were any shriveled ones, they would be completely dried in the sun, then ground into powder and sprinkled into the soil.

Regarding this piece of land, although Li Yuechen did not dare to guarantee it, he still had some certainty and confidence.

Li Yuechen sincerely hoped that the grain output could increase, even if it was just a little bit, at least in this way, the people's ability to resist natural disasters would be stronger.

In a blink of an eye, as the weather turns cooler, it has come to the Mid-Autumn Festival in August.

The Mid-Autumn Festival in this era is not much different from that after more than a thousand years. Moon cakes are also eaten, but they are not called moon cakes at the moment, they are called moon balls.

And there are very few types of stuffing, basically jujube paste.

But the only difference is that the mooncakes in this era are pretty good-looking, and they feel like Shanxi steamed buns in various shapes.

Most of the mooncakes in this era are made in the shape of various flowers for auspiciousness.

In addition, there is sacrifice. Because of the worship of gods, the ancients would sacrifice in many festivals.

Because Li Yuechen is a female family member, she does not participate in such activities on weekdays, and she just happens to be free.

But this year Li Zhi said he wanted her to participate.

Li Yuechen asked if he could not participate?

In the end, Li Zhi's meaning was very clear: I am not asking for your opinion, but to inform you.

Feeling helpless, Li Yuechen could only endure the discomfort and agree.

After practicing in the morning, and reading and practicing calligraphy in the afternoon, Xiao He took Li Yuechen back to get dressed at about three o'clock.

After all, not only Li Zhi and his wife participated in the sacrificial dinner, but also a bunch of ministers, and the princess still had to show her style.

It is worth mentioning that Li Zhi took the song "Compassion for the Farmers" to the court to show off to the ministers.

Of course, the ministers also praised the princess for being sensible. Having such a princess is a blessing to the Tang Dynasty, etc...

When Fulai came back excitedly to report, Li Yuechen looked as expected, expressing no interest in the result.

It was as if a pot of cold water had been poured on the head that was still thinking about making His Highness happy.

……

Seeing dusk, the mid-autumn festival sacrifice to the Moon God was about to begin. Li Yuechen followed Fulai and Xiaohe to Xihua Gate.

Originally, she planned to ride her own tricycle, but was stopped by Fulai and Xiaohe.

If it is in Chang'an, this kind of sacrificial ceremony is usually held in Yuanqiu, yes, it is the thing in the Normal University more than a thousand years later.

But now in Dongdu, there is a mysterious altar and dojo for sacrifices in the imperial palace, so there is no need to go too far.

The four elder brothers also arrived almost at the same time as Li Yuechen, and Li Hong had a gratified smile on his face: "At last, it's not the same hairy hair today."

Li Yuechen raised his eyebrows: "Then I would like to ask a few brothers, is the younger sister good-looking on weekdays or today?"

"Of course it looks better today!" Li Hong nodded and commented, "This is the etiquette for women!"

Li Xian shook his head disapprovingly: "I think it looks better on weekdays! Today...it lacks the usual sense of freedom and ease."

"Yeah, today's Yuechen doesn't look like the familiar Yuechen." Li Xian replied.

"have a look!"

Li Yuechen turned his head and looked at his eldest brother Li Hong: "Brother! Look, listen! This is the real evaluation!"

"It's nonsense!" Li Hong showed the majesty of a big brother, "You are really unreasonable!"

Having said that, he turned his head and looked at Li Lun, the youngest of the four brothers: "Shiro, what do you think?"

Li Lun raised his head and glanced at him: "I think that all the women I see on weekdays are like this, but Yuechen has a different feeling, so I also think that she looks better on weekdays!"

Li Yuechen gave a thumbs up: "The three elder brothers have discerning eyes! By the end of the year, Yuechen will send more canned food to elder brothers!"

"you!"

Li Hong was deflated, and pointed at the brothers and couldn't help but want to curse.

Li Yuechen smiled: "Brother, don't be angry. People have different feelings about beauty. Brother should also accept some other ideas."

"You..."

Li Hong shook his head helplessly: "Okay, obediently wait here for grandpa to come over."

After a while, the ministers also came over one after another. Seeing that several princes and princesses were there, they came to salute one after another.

Li Hong and the others also returned the salute, exchanged a few polite words, and said a word of Mid-Autumn Festival Ankang.

Many ministers focused their attention on Princess Li Yuechen. After all, some time ago, Li Zhi showed off the pity paper in the court hall, and he didn't want to pay attention.

Now this poem has gradually spread to the whole Tang Dynasty and is known to more scholars in the world.

However, the spreading effect should not be too great. Li Yuechen has also deduced some things over the years.

Although the current Tang Dynasty is said to like poetry, it may be because Li Bai, Du Fu and others have not yet appeared, and they have not yet reached the point of fanaticism.

The poetry of this period is still within the category of "hobbies".From the emperor to the common people, as long as they are literate, they usually write poetry as a hobby.

Only the master Liu Rengui came to Li Yuechen with a smile on his face: "The writing of compassion for farmers is good!"

"Thank you, Master, for your compliment." Li Yuechen replied, "I wish Master a healthy Mid-Autumn Festival!"

"Your Highness is well!" Liu Rengui saluted with a smile.

While chatting, Li Zhi, who was wearing a crown, and Wu Zetian, who was dressed up in fine clothes, came over surrounded by a group of servants.

Li Yuechen and other children saluted together with the officials.

Li Zhi raised his hand with a smile, said "Excuse me", and then walked in the front, leading all the officials to the Xuantan.

It happened that the sun had completely set, and the bright full moon hung in the dark blue sky, surrounded by stars, and occasionally flickered, like a beautiful live wallpaper.

Li Yuechen and his elder brothers stood in front of the group of officials, looking helplessly at Li Zhi and Wu Zetian reciting parallel prose on the altar that they might not even understand.

I feel in my heart that it is not easy to be an emperor, at least this kind of surface can really be put into it.

It seems that there is a reason for the emperor's second grade...

After reading the parallel prose, the moon has become brighter and brighter, and Li Zhi ordered a banquet.

It is worth mentioning that the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is not held in the hall, but in the square outside the hall.

The ministers sat on both sides, and there were actors from Jiaofang performing songs and dances in the middle.

I don't know if Li Zhi has fallen in love with this kind of high tables and chairs recently, and all the banquets have been replaced with this one.

It has not been a day or two since this thing came out, and the ministers all know what it is.

Some people have even asked the carpenter at home to copy a batch.

Seeing Li Zhi sit down, his children and ministers also sat down one after another.

The musicians sitting around began to play their instruments, and the actors in the center of the square began to dance to the music...

Not to mention, perhaps it was because the musicians were sitting in a circle that the sound was very three-dimensional, as if listening to a concert.

The emperor and his ministers ate and drank while enjoying the singing and dancing. After a while, the poems flourished and they began to write poems again.

And he also drank while writing poems, which felt a bit like talking about heroes while cooking wine.

Li Yuechen boredly took a cup of sanle sips and sips. She didn't understand poetry at all, and couldn't appreciate it.

Participating in this kind of banquet has almost no other feeling except boredom.

That is, the silver-white full moon in the sky can attract most of her attention.

After a while, Li Zhi and his officials started dancing again after drinking too much, which is almost a must for large-scale events in this era.

Li Zhi, who had changed his crown clothes, started dancing with the officials in the center to the music.

Then he beckoned to Li Hong and the others, telling them to go over and dance together.

After all, Wu Zetian is the queen, so she doesn't have to go, she can only dance for the emperor to watch.

Perhaps it was because most of the people were already drunk, their movements were deformed so much that the whole square looked like a group of demons dancing wildly.

Li Yuechen shook his head with a regretful face, thinking that if he had a mobile phone in his hand now, he would record all of this and post it on Moments.

Just write the accompanying text: Welcome to Ziwei Palace Disco!
People outside or in the future must never have imagined that there is already a tradition of open-air disco dancing in this era!
After a while, Li Xian ran over, raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his head and said, "Yuechen, why don't you come and dance together?"

Li Yuechen shook his head: "Let's leave these matters to a few elder brothers, and I will accompany my mother."

After speaking, he stood up and went to Wu Zetian's side. Li Xian nodded to show that he was right, and turned back to dance with them.
