Great Tang princess

Chapter 669

In ancient times, because of the slow pace of life, the festival was destined to last for a long time.

Entering December, especially after the winter solstice, the celebration of the New Year is about to start, and the year is not over until the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is over.

And the tribute envoys from various countries often came here in December, preparing to meet the emperor during the New Year.

In the princess mansion, Li Yuechen was lying on the rocking chair, staring at the yard outside in a daze.

Princess Xuancheng didn't go to work today, and chatted with Pei Qingwan while playing chess.

Seeing Li Yuechen lying on the rocking chair and pretending to be dead, both of them felt a little curious.

On weekdays, she can't be free for a moment, wishing she could move all the time except sleeping, how could she suddenly look like this today?
And it doesn't look like he's uncomfortable.

In the end, Princess Xuancheng couldn't help but asked, "Chen'er, are you feeling unwell? Or are you worried about something?"

Li Yuechen shook his head slightly, looked at the sky outside the window, and muttered to himself: "I'm just a little bit emotional, after this year, I'll be 30 years old..."

Li Xian turned his head and looked: "Yuechen is born different from ordinary people..."

Today's Wei Lian'er is very concerned about Li Xian's husband, and she is proud of the little tricks he learned from Li Yuechen.

Judging from the fine beads of sweat on the back of his neck, he should have been called suddenly, or he ran here by himself.

……

But then he took a deep breath and secretly told himself to forget it, after all, it was his own.

In this era, after the age of 40, you can call yourself an old man, which is equivalent to stepping into the ranks of the elderly.

"Oh..." Li Xian shook his head intentionally, "This matter... I'm afraid it's going to be a big trouble!"

"Aniang, in fact, there is no need to worry about this matter." Li Yuechen reminded.

So it hit it off, and immediately decided to do it!
……

"It was agreed before that my brother will be the crown prince, so that the succession of the throne will proceed smoothly..." Li Yuechen explained without caring about the unswallowed food in his mouth.

Li Xianhui and the other daughters are very fond of them. Boys like Li Chongrun... always want to give them a few punches.

After all, it is normal for different children to have different attitudes, and I am also like this at home on weekdays.

Wu Zetian shook his head: "It's been so many years, you're still like this, you haven't improved at all!"

If Wu is really going to be appointed as the crown prince, even if Princess Taiping doesn't want to rebel, her subordinates will push her to rebel.

Li Xian also thinks this method is good. It is really boring to stay at home every day to practice calligraphy, drink tea and watch beautiful women. Of course, it would be great if he can do something and chat with his mother.

Li Yuechen came up with an idea from the side: "How about, after the crown prince is announced, brother can come to accompany Auntie every day, and learn what a prince should look like by the way. It is better to have Auntie teach in person than bumping around."

But the ministers were not worried about this at all, after all Princess Taiping was still there silently.

Anyway, as long as he knew in his heart that his mother was doing what was good for him, it was enough. As for the lessons... Li Xian didn't care anymore.

……

In addition, it seems to outsiders that Li Xian and Li Dan are both imprisoned, so the ministers can't see what to do next.

Such gentle words made Li Xian slightly taken aback, and then he chuckled: "Yes, after all, the child will be 40 years old."

He spoke in such a hurry that even the scum of the mustache in his mouth sprayed all over the table.

Li Yuechen thought about it and understood what his mother meant.

Li Xian was also speechless towards this younger sister, since she was a child, she was so indifferent.

The next morning, Li Yuechen, who had nothing to do, planned to go into the palace to chat with his mother.

As the emperor, Wu Zetian was also a character like a wall-facer who could not be guessed by his subordinates. The kingship of his nephew over the years was actually diverting the attention of the ministers.

The look of concern in his eyes was undisguised, which made Li Xian very satisfied.

Speaking of this, Li Yuechen sat down and took another sip of tea, and continued: "An emperor, the one he wants to worship in the Taimiao is not his parents, but his aunt. Think about it, mother, is this possible?"

In the final analysis, this feeling is caused by the different rhythm of life in ancient times.

Looking at it like this, it has nothing to do with being sad at all.

The two exchanged a few words of courtesy, and then Di Renjie got up to leave.

Although the term "gongfa" is a bit exaggerated, Li Yuechen did not deny it.

As soon as these words came out, Li Yuechen became anxious: "No, A Niang, this is different from what I said before!"

Shangguan Wan'er, who was in charge of pouring tea, smiled: "It's all thanks to the exercises passed down by His Highness..."

Not to mention making this son a qualified emperor, at least he can't be too bad, so that he won't become an emperor in the future and let the people below casually fool around.

Li Xian who was interrupted had a resentful expression on his face: "Can't you save some face for Brother Wei?"

Among other things, Yiyang and Princess Xuancheng are both over 50 years old now, but they look less than 40 years old on the outside.

When Li Xian returned to the mansion, Wei Lian'er immediately greeted him, "What does the saint want from you?"

Zhang Chengxin promised, and quickly sent a little eunuch to invite someone.

Then, pretending to be deep, he walked two steps forward with his hands behind his back, and turned his back to Wei Lian'er: "It has nothing to do with these... This matter is probably a little troublesome for me."

Not to mention Li Yuechen, who is now 29 years old, but his appearance is at least ten years younger than his actual age.

"But A Niang, what should this crown prince look like?" Li Xian asked with raised eyebrows.

As soon as this proposal came out, Wu Zetian's eyes were brightened, and he felt that it was feasible.

"Duke Di is free!" Li Yuechen waved his hand and sat down beside him, "How is it? The food in the palace tastes good, right?"

Wu Zetian waved his hand: "Go and call him."

"Oh, Auntie asked the baby to come here just to teach her a lesson, right?" Li Xian smiled and pasted her to massage her shoulders, "What do you want to order, Auntie?"

As a result, many people in the court speculated that she seemed to have an idea to make Wu the crown prince.

But it doesn't matter, as long as you are talented, you can do practical things, and you can be useful. This is a good courtier.

Seeing her like this, Wu Zetian almost couldn't help laughing, but fortunately, he has been the emperor for so long, and his basic skills of expression control are quite good, so he didn't expose it.

However, as soon as he entered Jixian Temple, he saw that Di Renjie was also there, eating breakfast with his mother.

These words didn't seem to meet Wu Zetian's expectations, but she didn't answer anything, she just raised her head and stared into his eyes expressionlessly.

Li Yuechen shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, I don't want to touch men..."

It's just that she, who is usually very active, walked for a day, and her limbs felt like cramps when lying down, and she didn't have a detailed understanding of this age.

Both of them had no gray hair, and their wrinkles were so few that they were almost invisible, their bodies were even more light and straight.

In addition, she has been exercising since she was a child and knows the importance of health preservation, so although she will be 30 years old after the new year, she can't show it at all.

Shangguan Wan'er is one year older than Li Yuechen, and will be 31 after the new year.

However, Wu Zetian shook his head: "They have been under house arrest for too long, and they should be released. Just in time, while I still have energy for my mother, I always want to pave the way for him."

Wu Zetian frowned slightly: "Xian'er's ability is limited, you don't know, why don't you want to be emperor?"

"Okay, I'm going to prepare..."

After the words fell, Wu Zetian frowned: "Did you meet Di Huaiying before you came?"

If it is in the folk, women over 50 years old can almost be said to be buried soon.

"Prince?" Li Yuechen raised his eyebrows, "What's the point of discussing this? It's good to be a brother!"

In fact, since my mother became the emperor, the matter of the prince has not been settled for so many years.

But because of exercising with her since childhood, she looks much younger now, like a 20-year-old girl.

Li Yuechen asked while eating: "Aniang called Di Gong here today, but do you have something to order?"

Then he said with a sneer: "Aniang, the child has come here so easily for so many years, and now he is going to be the prince, isn't it..."

But in fact, what I think in my heart is that this method is useless even if I agree, three generations of blood relatives have been killed by you, mother, how can there be anyone else?

Coupled with the fact that some wrinkles inevitably appeared on the face, Li Xian and his younger sister stood together today, not quite like brother and sister, but a bit like father and daughter.

After all, none of the members of the Wu family are talented people. To put it bluntly, they just make up for each other in the world, not to mention Princess Taiping, they can't even beat any of her subordinates.

Li Yuechen, who had been lying down for a day without gaining anything, finally got up and planned to go to the yard to practice.

After so many years, Li Xian has become a piece of hob meat with his mother, and he has already gotten used to her lessons.

Although he doesn't hate it... To be precise, he has gotten used to it after so many years.

"Why do you want to save face in front of your family?" Li Yuechen patted him with a smile.

This is where the benefits of exercising come in, and the older you get, the more you show the difference between those who don't and those who don't.

Today's Di Renjie's position in front of the emperor is very unusual, he has almost completely become the role of a male girlfriend, and he talks to him about everything.

Wu Zetian nodded slightly, and then said: "However, this matter is not without a solution. Just like what you said back then, besides the three generations of blood relatives, wouldn't it be good to find someone surnamed Li to marry and have children?"

About two quarters of an hour later, Li Xian came to Jixian Hall.

"Hey, bro, don't make excuses for being lazy." Li Yuechen interrupted her, "The two elder sisters and Wan'er are very young now, so we still need to move more."

Li Yuechen sighed: "My child has already said about the other issues. The biggest problem is that I have no heirs. If I become the emperor, I must adopt one of my brother's heirs in the future. I will die in a hundred years. How will the successor pay homage?"

It is said that life enters another stage after the age of 30, so she is lying here today to feel this feeling.

Of course Wu Zetian knew that Di Renjie was loyal to Li Tang, not her.

Wu Zetian interrupted the fight between the two: "Okay, all in all, you will be the prince in the future, and you have to show the appearance of a prince!"

Wei Lian'er was taken aback, with doubts on her terrified expression: "Why bother? You have been alone in the mansion all these years without contacting anyone, so there will still be trouble?"

Wu Zetian also smiled helplessly: "I called you here today to let you know that I plan to meet at the junior high school and announce you as the crown prince..."

Li Xian, who had been afraid of his mother since he was a child, felt his scalp go numb from her stare, and immediately stopped talking.

"Eh? I didn't see it." Li Yuechen was stunned for a moment, and then realized, "He thinks so too?"

Seeing Li Yuechen approaching, Di Renjie quickly stood up and saluted.

Otherwise, if there is no consumption all day, I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep at night.

"What's the matter, Your Highness, tell me in detail, I will definitely do my best to help His Highness find a solution!" Wei Lian'er walked behind him, and comforted him by holding his shoulder.

After only being watched for more than ten seconds, Li Xian felt hairy all over his body, couldn't help shivering, and took two steps back slightly.

Even though his nutrition is good on weekdays, there are inevitably a few strands of silver in Li Xian's hair and beard.

Hearing these words, Wu Zetian subconsciously felt an unknown fire rising up.

However, at the next moment, waiting is indeed not a lesson, but a smile.

But Wu Zetian didn't speak, still staring at him.

"Indeed!" Di Renjie nodded with a smile, "The food in the palace is getting better and better, it's all thanks to His Highness..."

"Looking at Chen'er alone, I don't feel it. Only when I look at you now can I feel that time flies really fast. Xianer, you are getting old too." Wu Zetian said with a light smile.

Seeing her keep shaking her head, Wu Zetian shook her head: "Forget it, maybe this is fate."

Wu Zetian replied blankly: "Actually, my mother told Di Renjie that she wants to make you the crown prince!"

"Prince?" Li Xian was taken aback, "Can I not do it?"

"Aniang hasn't summoned me for a long time, and my child has been very sad recently." Li Xian sat down carelessly after entering.

But the two princesses Xuancheng and Yiyang can still run and jump, their hair and teeth show no sign of falling out, and they still have the appetite for big fish and meat.

But now most things are handled by the cabinet. The emperor's most daily work is to read reports. He is relatively free, but he has time to teach him.

"Hmm...Aniang intends to make me the crown prince." Li Xian replied with a nod.

"Indeed!" Wu Zetian nodded, "I plan to discuss the establishment of the crown prince."

In the past, the emperor had to deal with too many things every day, and he was not always free.

"what?"

"I have seen Her Royal Highness."

Li Xian was already fat, and fat people tend to look old.

Wei Lian'er subconsciously replied that she was going to find a way to help, but then she was taken aback suddenly, and she took two steps from the side and came to her husband, supported his chubby cheeks with both hands, and asked with wide eyes, "What did Your Highness just say?"

Seeing the surprise in her eyes, Li Xian smiled: "Say, Aunt intends to make me the crown prince!"

With a "snap", Wei Lian'er directly patted him on the shoulder: "Scared me to death! Isn't this a good thing..."

"What's the matter...you don't know how troublesome it is for the crown prince..." Li Xian hugged her waist with a smile and comforted her softly.
