Great Tang princess

After New Year's Eve is the first day of the new year. Although the banquet for officials on New Year's Eve night was cancelled, the court meeting early the next morning still seemed a bit troublesome.

It was still dark in the morning, so Li Yuechen entered the palace in a carriage.

Arriving outside the gate of the Vientiane Shrine, a dark crowd has already gathered here.

Most of them are ministers wearing bright red court uniforms, and some are envoys from other countries.

At this moment, they are taking advantage of the New Year's period to chat together in groups of three or four.

Since signing a trade agreement with Dashi and the imperial court last year, even the people can see that the imperial court intends to support business...

Maybe we can't say support, but at least we don't suppress it anymore.

Now that the square wall has been demolished and the curfew has been lifted, the purpose is already obvious, which is to make business flourish.

Today, most of the ministers' homes are businessmen, so they naturally want to see if they can take advantage of this trend to discuss business with these foreign envoys.

So the atmosphere between the ministers and foreign envoys this year is very good. Even though these foreigners have serious accents, they are still trying to talk to each other.

Such an answer aroused cheers from the children, and at the same time, Li Yuechen couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Li Yuechen waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay to be late for a few days!"

When the sky began to turn pale, the inner guards also came over and started body searches, preparing to go to court.

Many ministers felt that he was still afraid of his mother on the dragon chair, and they looked at each other, wondering if they could take the opportunity to get in touch with the prince to comfort him.

……

"It's fourteen, not too young!"

Looking at these cheering children, it can be regarded as making up for part of my regrets back then.

Nowadays, some ministers entered the officialdom during the Gaozong Dynasty when they were young. After 30 years, many of them have become old people.

I thought I could have a good rest at home, but a group of children came to the princess mansion the next day.

……

Not only these ordinary people, many ministers also took advantage of this day to come to the street, wearing ordinary people's clothes and mingling among the crowd, admiring the fireworks in the sky.

Under the sky, there is the hustle and bustle of the city, and the lights of thousands of families that can almost illuminate a small piece of sky.

However, many ministers shook their heads in secret disappointment, feeling that the prince's appearance was not at all suitable for an emperor.

"Didn't my aunt say that she took us to Yizhou during the winter vacation?" Li Longji asked.

Many ministers couldn't help muttering to themselves at this moment: "The world has changed..."

But next year will definitely be better, so Li Yuechen got up early the next day and entered the palace.

In fact, most foreign envoys want to find her most. After all, she is a princess of a country, and word of mouth has already spread, so doing business with her is actually the safest.

The Shangyuan Festival has just passed, and it is more lively and interesting than last year. People can't help but recall it and forget it.

Countless people have smiles on their faces, thank God, the days are getting better and better in the past few years.

A loud "Shangchao" was sung, and the officials shouted, danced and worshiped, and shouted long live, announcing the beginning of the new year.

Then it exploded with a "bang", and a bright red flower bloomed in the air.

"Shouldn't school start after the Lantern Festival?" Li Xianhui said.

But for the changes in the past 30 years, I can't find any corresponding methods and omens from the ancestors' precepts.

Chatting and chatting, when the time came, a eunuch specially came up to inform that the fireworks were about to start.

Listening to the fellow who has been here proudly introducing how this year's fireworks are compared to last year...

Although many ministers had already guessed it, but now that the emperor personally ordered it, he felt relieved.

Some foreigners who came here for the first time looked surprised, staring at the sky and trembling.

All of this comes from one person - Princess Taiping!
She is omnipotent in heaven and earth, and she can be called the only true god in the world. The ancestors did not say how people should punish immortals.

The blatant flattery made everyone around couldn't help laughing, and Wei Lian'er also became beaming.

Nowadays, no matter whether it is in the imperial court or among the people, there are definitely not a few people who think that she is a fairy.

Against the dark background, there are countless stars, which seem to be randomly spread in the sky.

So the whole family sat down in their seats, and Wu Zetian announced that it was time to start.

"Hey, don't get me wrong!" Li Xian quickly explained, "Lian'er is not old in my heart at all!"

A series of explosions resounded through the sky, and countless fireworks bloomed, announcing the prosperity to the people in the city.

After Li Yuechen came over, everyone stopped talking and turned their heads to salute her respectfully, wishing a happy new year.

Back then, he was full of energy, with his hands behind his back, feeling that he couldn't find an opponent, and the future was bright all the way.

……

During the Chinese New Year, we should pay attention to auspiciousness. Even the people from Yushitai will not just spout casually, but will be full of auspicious words.

Li Xian replied that he was going to teach his son some girl-picking skills, but he thought that his wife was still watching from behind, so he immediately changed his mind and said, "Speaking of which, aren't there girls in the military academy? It's good to find someone in the army, at least In good health, like Yuechen, looking young..."

Now that these children have received a new type of education, they are not so interested in getting married.

When the red sun of the New Year jumped out of the horizon and brought the first ray of orange light, the tall Vientiane Shrine began to be gradually illuminated.

Turning his head around, Li Xian also secretly smiled at his son, expressing that he was not under any pressure.

The same is true for Li Chongrun. He has been busy with his studies recently. He will graduate next year, and he is thinking about how to make contributions on the battlefield like his aunt.

Wu Zetian sighed slightly. At this moment, she, a person in a high position, seemed to finally understand what a country is.

At the same time, the door opened, and Li Yuechen and the ministers took off their shoes and entered one after another.

Don't look at Li Yuechen often saying that he is not a god, but others don't think so.

Seeing that the child was not very interested, Li Xian didn't force him, but told him to remember to act in time if he liked it.

In the palace, the family also came to the city wall after eating, sat down and chatted with a cup of hot tea, waiting for the start of the fireworks show.

In a blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival came. Although the curfew had been lifted long ago, it was still the most anticipated day for people in Dongdu.

Sitting on the city wall, you can hear the voices of people on the street and feel the obvious breath of life.

Li Yuechen felt helpless, never thought that the ancients also liked to urge marriage and find a partner.

When I came to Jixian Temple, I proposed: "Aniang, before the Shangyuan Festival is completely over, how about going to Lelou to see the market performance tonight?"

Only the person involved, Li Xian, had a fake smile on his face.

So I decided to change the name!

After the first firework exploded, the streets below became much quieter, and the people were all looking forward to this moment.

Before, Li Yuechen proposed to his mother that the national marriage age for men and women should be above 14 years old, which has been written into the law.

If I could have such a teacher back then, I am afraid that my student days would be happier.

The same is true for children, and even dragged Li Chongrun and others over to watch, pointing and pointing while watching.

Wu Zetian sat in the middle of the crowd, holding a cup of hot tea, staring at the dark night sky in a daze.

Brothers Li Xian and Li Dan left their wives aside, lying on the city wall and watching the ghost hunting activities below.

"Uh... that's really what I planned, but it's not that there are too many things this year, so I haven't caught up..." Li Yuechen, who had forgotten the agreement, blushed a little, "Well, after the Lantern Festival, I will take you to Yizhou for two days .”

"Speaking of which, Run'er has almost reached the age of marriage. It's okay to take a concubine in advance. If there is someone on the street who likes it, I will give it to you for my father..."

Anyway, the school I opened has the final say, so why not start school a few days later.

From time to time, I still make comments, discussing that this year's ghost pretending skills are not as flexible as last year's, and that the widow who sells pho next to her has an extra man next to her, etc...

"Brother! How old is he!" Li Yuechen interrupted his brother, "Don't be so anxious!"

In addition to changing the year name, the other thing was that Li Xian was announced to be the crown prince at the court meeting.

Coupled with the fact that Princess Taiping is now in control, it is hard to say whether there will be a second Xuanwumen in the future.

Li Tang is orthodox, and he will come back sooner or later.

Li Chongrun also smiled, and then said: "Grandfather, the child is still young, don't worry."

Wei Lian'er is also helpless about this, as a husband, she is good everywhere, the only shortcoming is that she has no ambitions, like a child.

The faces of all the ministers were filled with happy smiles, at least this showed that my persistence over the years was not in vain, and it could be regarded as a strong move to myself.

Perhaps, this is the number of days, there is a definite number in the dark, perhaps the way of heaven has destined the royal family to be prosperous.

After a while, there was a sound of "咻~~~", and a bright flame shot up into the sky.

After all, if one decides to side with the prince now, it will be a meritorious service in the future.

Now he has Wei Lian'er completely under his control, and he doesn't mean to be in a hurry at all.

No matter what happened in the past, I always felt that I could find a solution from the teachings of my ancestors.

Now the position is much higher, but his hair is already full of gray hair, and his back has become a lot bent.

Then fireworks of various colors rushed into the sky, exploded under the dark night, and turned into colorful flowers competing for splendor.

In any case, the future emperor's surname is still Li, which is enough.

Although Wei Lian'er and the others are still a little afraid of the emperor, they also know that as long as they don't die, she will be fine, so they all behave quite normally.

There are still groups of three or four making an appointment to wait for the end of today's court meeting, and to take advantage of the Chinese New Year holiday to find a place to have a good chat or something.

Wu Zetian thought about it. Today is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and he will officially go to work tomorrow, so he nodded and agreed.

For example, Li Longji's biggest hobby is playing drums and playing music. Although he can't say he has no interest in women, he obviously has no plans to fall in love and get married.

Because the notice was posted early today, there are still fireworks to watch tonight.

So they plan to continue to wait and see, and don't plan to stand in line right now.

Li Yuechen asked with a smile: "Why don't you accompany Auntie back on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and come to my place?"

Then Wu Zetian, who was wearing a gorgeous crown, entered the palace with the support of Zhang Chengxin, and sat down slowly on the dragon chair.

But looking back, looking at the various changes in the past 30 years, it is really too fast to react.

Moreover, this new year name is different from before. In the past, the year name was two characters, but this year it has been doubled to four characters—Long live Tongtian!

The court meeting is more cumbersome, but they don't talk about political affairs, they are basically singing praises.

A minister even made an appointment with foreign envoys to invite them to visit Lelou...

The children are also here today, sitting next to their parents, and can't help but chat about the scene when they discovered the fireworks.

"Fourteen, according to the new law, you can already get married." Li Xian laughed.

Seeing the fireworks constantly blooming in the sky, many ministers sighed slightly, then picked up the wine glass or teacup in their hands, and took a sip.

The current Li Xian doesn't look like a prince at all, just like an ordinary dude.

After the Great Court Meeting, even if the court has officially ushered in a holiday, there is nothing to do for the time being.

No, one must be added to the future royal education, an emperor only uses one year name in his life!
Otherwise, if someone like my mother appears again, if the year name is as long as the posthumous name, then the meaning of its existence will be lost.

She responded with a smile all the way, and also wished them a happy new year.

However, Li Chongrun said that he was really not in a hurry.

Looking at that expression, he seemed to be a local, and seemed to have completely forgotten the fact that he was still a foreigner in this land.

Wei Lian'er's face darkened in the back: "Your Highness, is this concubine getting old?"

However, Wu Zetian was happier today, and recalled the development of the country in the past few years with the ministers, and felt very relieved.

Li Yuechen raised her eyebrows instantly. Originally, her mother hadn't changed her year name in the past few years and thought she had lost this hobby, but she didn't expect it to start again.

Thinking about it carefully, I am now 30 years old, and I have entered the next stage of my life, but I haven't felt much until now.

Shangguan Wan'er asked from the side: "Do you want to inform His Royal Highness to go with you?"

It's just that the princess was surrounded by a group of high-ranking ministers as soon as she came, and they had no chance to talk to each other.

Other than that, he can hardly find any faults, and he is good enough to himself, allowing himself everything, not at all like the men of this era.

"They've all seen it, so there's no need." Li Yuechen smiled, "Besides, the chances of brother being recognized are too high, it's better not to go."

Afterwards, Li Yuechen sent someone to inform Wu Luolan that tonight the emperor went to see the performance privately in Weifu, and asked her to make a good reception, but don't tell the artists to prevent pressure.

At the same time, let the royal chef in the palace go first with the ingredients. It will be troublesome to test the poison on the food the emperor wants to eat. It is better to let the royal chef directly cut off the problem from the root.

At the same time, the guards were also asked to prepare well. The emperor's micro-clothes left the palace, and the security work must be done properly.

Wu Zetian was also looking forward to this, and had to admit that many things were indeed more interesting among the people than in the palace.
