Great Tang princess

Chapter 599 Arrived Home

Hearing the child's answer, Wei Lian'er didn't continue to say anything, but curled her lips helplessly.

After all, what he said made sense. There were conflicts between juniors, and it was normal to fight with hands. If the parents got involved because of such a trivial matter, it would be a bit difficult to solve.

Anyway, neither side has suffered much now, so it's better to just let this matter go.

Although she still felt uncomfortable on her face, Wei Lian'er nodded: "Okay, then listen to what my son has to say, and you can settle this matter on your own."

While talking, he took his son and daughter to the mansion.

Li Xian followed beside him without saying a word, turned his head and glanced at his children who were chatting and laughing with his wife, with an inscrutable smile on his face.

To be honest, although he is not very smart, he was born in the royal family anyway, and he also sat on the dragon chair for a period of time, and he also understands the emperor's mind.

The children's lies sounded seamless, but it was not so easy to deceive him.

It's just that judging from the expressions and tone of their answers, it seems that this matter has already had a satisfactory solution, so he, as a father, doesn't need to break the casserole and ask the end.

In particular, Li Xian knew very well that when he was a child, he also had some secrets in his heart or some things he didn't want his parents to know, so he could understand the children's thoughts with empathy.

Coupled with the fact that the children are all receiving new education in the military, it is normal to have a little different thinking. Since it is not a big deal, there is no need to expose them.

This is not only the trust in the children, but also the trust in his own sister.

……

On the other side, in Xiang Wang's mansion, Li Dan also felt a little dazed after hearing his son's explanation.

Because they are also educated in the army, they often play football or sing and dance together on weekdays, so the tacit understanding between cousins ​​is not bad at all.

When Li Longfan came back today, he also encountered his father's question, and immediately replied that he had fought with Li Xianhui, which was left over from the fight.

These children are very clear that the education their parents receive is different from them, and they will not take the lives of the soldiers below seriously.

If this matter is exposed, it really cannot be solved by killing one or two people.

In order for these royal children to be future officers and to avoid distraction in the future, it is better not to tell their parents about this matter.

After listening to his son's explanation, Li Dan frowned and said: "Xianhui is a woman, how can you fight her, Faner?"

"Oh, grandpa, don't think she's a woman, she's so ruthless that she's got a nosebleed!" Li Longfan replied pretending to be helpless.

Li Longji on the side also chimed in: "Yes, Grandpa. I am waiting in the army and practice martial arts every day. Even a woman should not be underestimated."

The other children also joined in and talked about how the training in the army is like on weekdays.

Hearing the children say that, Li Dan raised his eyebrows, then waved his hands and said, "Forget it, since it's a conflict between you and the younger generation, then I don't care about it as a father."

"Yes!" The children agreed in unison, and at the same time they all blinked their eyes, which was regarded as a compliment to each other's cooperation.

There is also a kind of pride and joy in the hearts of the children after cheating their father.

Li Xian shook his head slightly, lamenting in his heart that the children had grown up.

……

In Jixian Hall, Li Yuechen supported his mother's desk with one hand, and looked down at his own photo on the desk.

"Oh, my mother also thinks this is a good shot, right?"

Wu Zetian tidied up his sleeves and sat down, picked up his teacup and said, "This thing is indeed miraculous, but I'm just a little worried for my mother. With this thing, will there be anyone willing to study painting skills in the future?"

"Don't worry, Madam, paintings and photos are not the same thing, and painters always have their own way out."

After all, in the future, not to mention cameras, AI painting has already appeared, but the profession of painter still exists, doesn't it?

It is pure nonsense to say that there is no influence between the two parties, but it does not seem so easy to say that one party will completely eliminate the other party.

Besides, there is no need to think about this issue in this era. The key now is how to let the country develop first.

While chatting, they walked to Shangguan Wan'er's desk and leaned over to look at the photos on her desk.

On her desk was a photo of herself in a cheongsam, which looked more like a woman than her usual heroic appearance.

Originally, I thought this photo should be placed on my mother's side, because since I was a child, my mother always wanted to be more feminine, and always disliked her being too manly.

On the contrary, Shangguan Wan'er seemed to like her usual appearance more, but she didn't expect this photo to be placed on the table instead.

Perhaps seeing the doubts in her heart, Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly: "It is precisely because this one is different from His Highness's usual, that's why I let this one go."

Hearing what she said, Li Yuechen nodded to express his understanding.

Maybe my mother is also like this, because I am not around, so I keep my usual photos by my side.

Strictly speaking, those who wear round-neck gowns are photos of life, while cheongsams are photos of art.

Shangguan Wan'er handed her a cup of tea with a smile on her face: "It seems that His Highness was surprised by this."

Li Yuechen smiled and did not deny it.

Then I chatted with my mother and two sisters about various things in Qingdao and various plans for next year, the biggest of which was of course the big project of going to sea to find potatoes and corn.

Princess Xuancheng was puzzled by this: "According to what Chen'er said, how will they find that...America when they go out into the vast sea?"

"This requires the use of a sextant. It is a new device I invented in Qingdao. First, the longitude and latitude of the earth are marked. Then with this device, you can determine your position through the horizon..."

Princess Yiyang didn't have too many doubts about these things, but praised: "It's amazing that there are such artifacts! What else can this latitude and longitude be used for?"

Li Yuechen thought for a while: "Actually, this knowledge can completely open up a new subject called geography...Speaking of it, the earth can be regarded as a big magnet. The difference in climate between the north and the south of our country is also related to this." ..."

Of course, let’s talk about it, but geography cannot be taught as a separate course in schools at present, because there is no suitable teaching material.

To be honest, in fact, "Shan Hai Jing" or "Shang Shu Yu Gong" including "Da Tang Western Regions" can be regarded as works of geography, but to integrate them into teaching materials, Li Yuechen does not have the energy at present, but he will have time in the future It's time to try it.

When Liu Zihe goes to sea next year, he can draw a chart and record the different climates and customs in various places. After returning, it will become the earliest world encyclopedia in the world.

Listening to her daughter's eloquent talk, Wu Zetian laughed and said nothing the whole time.

Since her daughter grew up, the expectations for her have completely disappeared, leaving only expectations, a kind of expectation to see how many surprises she can bring to the world.

They chatted until midnight, and when they saw their mother started yawning, Li Yuechen got up and saluted, announcing his farewell.

Anyway, my mother definitely doesn't want to accompany her at night, so I might as well go back to rest early and come back tomorrow morning.

"Aniang, the boy will go back first, remember to get up early tomorrow, and the boy will come over to take pictures for Aniang."

"Okay, I got it." Wu Zetian nodded, saying that he would wait for her to come over tomorrow and go back to rest early in the evening.

So Li Yuechen and others resigned, saluted and left Jixian Hall.

Walking in the palace at night, Li Yuechen opened his arms and took a deep breath: "Oh, I really feel comfortable at home!"

Although she is a character who likes to hang out and doesn't like to stay at home, she always feels relaxed and comfortable every time she comes back, maybe because she is too busy in the army, or maybe there are people waiting for her here.

Princess Xuancheng smiled and said: "Then why don't you go out at all, and keep it with you in the palace from now on?"

"No, I will always feel bored after staying at home for a long time." Li Yuechen shook his head.

"Chen'er has been restless since she was a child." Princess Yiyang said with a smile.

Shangguan Wan'er walked beside her, nodded her head in agreement, and said with a little regret: "It's a pity that I don't know martial arts, otherwise I could have followed His Highness to charge in the battlefield."

"Listen to me, it's boring to go to the battlefield, hacking everywhere..." Li Yuechen waved his hand, "Wan'er should just be a think tank at home."

Several people got into the carriage while chatting, left the palace, and went back to the princess mansion.

Sitting in the carriage, Li Yuechen couldn't help looking around, and found that the carriage here was actually equipped with hand-cranked glass.

After trying it myself, I found that it feels quite good, and it feels almost the same as the car windows for a certain period of time in the future.

The operation method is the same, and now the windows of the carriage are all wrapped with cowhide, and the airtightness is quite good. When driving on the street in winter, the outside wind will not blow in.

Seeing where she played with the window, Princess Xuancheng smiled: "Speaking of which, there are craftsmen at the engineering institute who said that it is possible to consider installing a glass window on the roof, but the water leakage test has not passed, so there is no implement..."

Li Yuechen nodded after hearing this. Sure enough, the creativity of human beings should not be underestimated. Although it is really not easy to make roof sunroofs in this era, with this idea and direction, people will naturally make efforts to try it.

The roofs of today's carriages are still flat. Once the skylights are opened, under the current conditions, it is easy to leak when it rains or snows.

But in the future, if someone can make a streamlined roof and solve the sealing problem, then the roof sunroof will no longer be a fantasy.

Back at the Princess Mansion, Xiao He and Fu Lai ran over to greet her as soon as they got off the carriage.

"Oh, Your Highness is back!" Fu Lai came over with a smile, reached out to support her arm and got off the carriage.

Li Yuechen let her jump out of the carriage with a smile, and turned his head to look. Fulai is now a lot fatter, and his hair has become a little gray, but with a smile on his face, he looks very rich and festive.

In fact, eunuchs who have been cleansed since childhood generally live longer, and their bodies are healthier than normal people. Although Fulai looks a little fatter now, his complexion is quite good.

"Well, I'm back."

He replied with a smile, and when he looked up, he saw Xiao He saluting, accompanied by a young court lady who looked less than 20 years old.

The little girl was quite ordinary-looking, and kept the same saluting posture as Xiao He. At first, she secretly raised her head curiously and looked at the legendary princess.

Although Li Yuechen found out, he didn't say much, he just raised his hand to excuse them.

The moment the maid raised her head, Li Yuechen nodded slightly. It seemed that this little maid was taught well by Xiao He, and it seemed that she was treated well during the time she was in the Princess Mansion.

There is a reason for this conclusion. In this era, dignitaries and ordinary people seem to be two species.

In this era, it can be said that more than 90% of people have hunchbacks, which is caused by ordinary people eating poorly and malnutrition.

Even eunuchs and maids of honor, a large part of them are hunchbacked, which is also a manifestation of calcium deficiency.

But the Princess Mansion is different. The food is rich and balanced. The servants here all go out with their heads up high, and they are very conspicuous in the crowd.

However, with the gradual increase in food production and national strength in the future, this phenomenon will definitely change.

Seeing the little girl's head raised and her chest upright, Li Yuechen took two steps forward and came in front of her.

She is about 1.6 meters tall, which is not short in this era, but she looks a little small in front of the tall Li Yuechen.

"Xiao He, is this the successor you have chosen?" Li Yuechen asked.

"Returning to Your Highness, that's right." Xiao He replied, "This girl's brains are quite bright, and she is also prudent in her work. She is qualified to be His Highness's personal maid."

Li Yuechen nodded: "Since you chose it yourself, then I won't say much."

With just such a sentence, Xiao He hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust."

"What's the name?" Li Yuechen looked at the little girl and asked.

"Returning to Your Highness, the maidservant has not been named, so please give me a name from Your Highness!"

Such an answer made the corners of Li Yuechen's mouth twitch. To be honest, she hates picking names the most. This kind of thing is really troublesome.

But it’s all here, and I can’t do without it. After thinking about it carefully, I replied: “Well, the winter solstice will be in a few days, so let’s call it Xiaodong.”

"My servant, thank Your Highness for giving me the name!"

Shangguan Wan'er was obviously quite familiar with her, and she smiled at the side: "Xiaodong's skill in making tea is really good, Your Highness might as well give it a try."

"Let's forget about today, we have to get up early tomorrow..."

Just as he was talking, he also greeted his sister-in-law Pei Qingwan who came out to greet her: "Sister-in-law, I'm back."

"What a coincidence, I've been talking about Your Highness for the past few days." Pei Qingwan smiled, "It's getting late today, Your Highness should take a rest earlier, let's talk tomorrow if we have something to say."

Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, there is no embarrassing atmosphere between Li Yuechen and his family. On the contrary, there seems to be a feeling that a little farewell is better than a newlywed.
