Great Tang princess

Chapter 68 Family Game
After returning to Anfu Hall, Li Yuechen couldn't wait to tell Xiao He to quickly remove the pile of ornaments on his head.

Then he combed his hair while changing his clothes, and tied it into a ponytail with a hair rope after combing.

After changing his clothes, Li Yuechen shook the ponytail on the back of his head violently, sat cross-legged in front of the table and breathed a sigh of relief: "Hair buns really don't suit me."

Just about to make a cup of tea, two older sisters came in: "Chen'er, I have nothing to do today, how about we go to Tao Guang Garden?"

Taoguang Garden is the royal garden and zoo in Dongdu, just to the north of the imperial city.

When Li Yuechen first came here, he went to see it once.To be honest, beautiful is indeed beautiful, but it is also meaningless.

But since the two sisters want to go, it's better to go and have a look.

Then he waved to Shangguan Wan'er next to him: "Do you want Wan'er to come together?"

"En!" Shangguan Wan'er nodded abruptly.

So the four of them set off together with some accompanying palace ladies and eunuchs.

Anfu Hall is not far from Taoguang Garden. A group of people entered directly from the west gate, walked through the corridor, and came into sight of the luxurious garden that could hardly be seen as far as the eye could see.

The first thing you see is the wide canal that runs through things. Even in this cold winter, you can occasionally see colors swimming in it under the thin ice.

Although it is a garden, it is also a pavilion of ten feet and a hall of hundreds of feet.It looks messy, but it is located in various places in the garden according to certain rules.

These artificial buildings continue the aesthetic style of the Tang Dynasty, simple but magnificent!
The architecture of the Tang Dynasty is basically like this. The style emphasizes a simple symmetry, but the color matching is extremely visually impactful.

The whole body is mainly red, and the others are all embellishments.

The seemingly complicated corridors are located in the garden like a maze, and at the same time connect all the halls and pavilions.

The high-ceilinged space highlights the unique majesty and etiquette of the royal family. Walking in it is like entering an open dragon's mouth.

But the most surprising thing is that the artificial buildings with gorgeous colors and colors are placed in this garden, but they don't feel abrupt, but very harmonious.

There are various colorful paintings on every beam in the corridor, the contents are basically different shapes of landscapes, birds and animals, etc...

Even in the cold winter, most of the plants are bare, but it doesn't seem to affect the overall perception at all, but it highlights the harmony among the halls, pavilions and pavilions.

If summer comes here, the trees and flowers bloom, but the pavilions and palaces will become faintly visible.

The whole Tao Guangyuan is like a dynamic picture scroll, no matter what season you come, you can always see different beautiful scenery.

Walking in this picture scroll, Li Yuechen, who is a future man, also has to sigh in his heart at this moment, it seems that the heaviness of history has also become light at this moment.

I have run around the world, seen, and even conquered countless beautiful scenery.

But this kind of ancient style is dotted with extremely luxurious classical royal beauty, but it is also the first time I have seen it since I can remember.

This kind of scenery can be described in one sentence: low-key luxury with connotation!
Alas, if only I had a mobile phone now... Li Yuechen looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and sighed in his heart.

Suddenly, Princess Xuancheng pointed to the front and said: "Look, Chen'er, there are rabbits!"

Li Yuechen raised his head, and sure enough, he saw a gray hare digging a hole in the ground, as if looking for food.

It was the first time Shangguan Wan'er saw a rabbit, she couldn't help but said, "Your Highness, how about..."

"Yeah!" Li Yuechen nodded, "I'll see if I can catch it, Xiao He, and ask someone to go to the grill!"

"Huh?" Shangguan Wan'er turned her head suddenly, her eyes were even a little frightened, "Your Highness wants to eat it?"

Li Yuechen froze for a moment: "Didn't you just say..."

Shangguan Wan'er had a look of grievance in her eyes: "I just want to hug and touch it..."

"Forehead……"

Li Yuechen felt a little embarrassed, and the two sisters next to her also felt a little embarrassed.

Patting his head helplessly, Li Yuechen reminded himself that he should think more from a female perspective when dealing with these small animals in the future.

At least most real girls should not be like themselves, the first thing they think of when they see any animal is to eat it...

After all, she is already a woman now, not to mention everything, at least she should be like a woman in some aspects.

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen nodded and continued to watch the rabbit with them.

In this day and age, most rabbits are gray or black, and white rabbits are rare.

It is rare to see that if you can catch a white rabbit and present it to the emperor, you can receive a reward.

Because in the eyes of the ancients, the white rabbit is a kind of auspiciousness.

There are also many other animals in Taoguang Garden, such as monkeys or cranes.

But in fact, what Li Yuechen wanted was to see if he could try to grow some bamboo here after the food problem was resolved.

If it succeeds, maybe I can go to Sichuan and Shu to catch two rolls and come over to play.

……

Maybe it was because they were worried that Li Yuechen would eat it, so they didn't catch the rabbit in the end, they just looked at it from a distance, and then wandered around again.

At night, I went back to sleep obediently. In this era, compared with the New Year, everyone is still looking forward to the Lantern Festival.

At night, Li Yuechen was lying on the bed thinking about the difference between Shangyuan Festival in Dongdu and Chang'an.

The second day of the Lunar New Year was the day to visit his mother's family, but now that Mrs. Rong Guo had passed away, Li Yuechen decided to spend a day with his mother.

After asking the opinions of the two sisters, they thought about it and decided to go with them.

All the way to Renshou Hall, just arrived at the door, I saw several brothers also came.

Led by the elder brother Li Hong, the princes also saluted the two sisters together.

While he was lowering his head, Li Yuechen took advantage of the situation and jumped lightly, directly onto his back: "Brother, happy new year!"

"Ouch! Yuechen's strength has grown a lot." Li Hong staggered under the pressure and almost fell down.

Thanks to Li Xian next to him with quick eyesight and quick hands, he took a step forward to help him, so he didn't fall down.

Li Yuechen also suddenly thought that he might have used too much force just now, so he quickly let go of her, jumped down and asked, "Brother, how are you doing?"

"No problem..." Li Hong waved his hand, "But Yuechen has really grown up, not to mention her strength, she has also gained a lot of weight."

"hey-hey……"

Li Yuechen smiled lightly, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that Li Hong didn't feel his inhuman power.

After entering the Hall of Renshou, first salute the emperor and empress together.

Seeing that Wu Zetian was still sitting in front of the table, Li Yuechen came to her side: "Don't worry about these things today, Auntie. I will come to accompany Auntie today."

"Come to accompany Meiniang, does that mean you don't intend to accompany me?" Li Zhi turned his head and asked with a smile.

Li Yuechen stuck out his tongue: "Well, I won't be with Grandpa today, I will only be with Grandma alone!"

"Ugh……"

Hearing his daughter's words, Li Zhi pretended to be disappointed and sighed, as if he was very sad.

The children couldn't help holding back their laughter, and Wu Zetian also covered her mouth and smiled lightly a few times, but immediately returned to her usual majestic appearance.

Li Yuechen grabbed her arm and shook it: "Aniang, don't deal with these things today, let's rest."

Wu Zetian looked at it, and there were not many memorials on the table, so he nodded: "Okay, let's rest then."

Although she said she would not accompany Li Zhi, it seemed that my mother didn't want to go out in winter, so the family sat around the table drinking tea and chatting.

Li Yuechen leaned in Wu Zetian's arms almost the whole time, and his usual majesty seemed to have disappeared today, and he did not drive her away.

It's not interesting for the family to chat, Li Yuechen suggested: "Today's Chinese New Year, why don't I wait and play poker together?"

In this era, poker games are more popular than Go and other games. When I heard that I wanted to play, I became interested all of a sudden.

But Li Hong frowned: "But there are nine people waiting for me, so you can only play mahjong with four people?"

Li Yuechen grinned: "Then make a new one now."

"Oh?" Li Zhi seemed quite interested, "Let's hear it."

"Grandpa, wait a moment, I'll get a pen and paper!"

With that said, Li Yuechen got up to get a pen and paper, and then wrote two words on the paper: "Chasing the murderer!"

Then Li Yuechen began to explain: "The rules are as follows, we are divided into Qianniuwei, killers and ordinary people..."

That's right, what Li Yuechen wants to do is the simplest killing game. The rules of this game are simple and easy to understand, but playing it requires a strong on-the-spot adaptability.

This kind of IQ game was very popular in the Tang Dynasty. After understanding the rules, Li Zhi nodded with anticipation: "Then let's try it!"

After the emperor spoke, Li Yuechen naturally stopped talking nonsense, and tore off a few pieces of paper to write down his different identities.

Because I want to be the host, I wrote two Qianniuwei, two killers, and four ordinary people.

Afterwards, they folded and shuffled the paper with their identities written on them, and asked them to pick it up by themselves.

After checking their identities, everyone put their identity papers in their sleeves to prevent others from seeing them.

"Close your eyes at night!" Li Yuechen announced.

I don't worry about them cheating. The ancients took this very seriously, let alone playing with the emperor. If the emperor himself didn't cheat, they wouldn't dare.

"The killer opens his eyes!"

In this round, third brother Li Xian and sister Yiyang Princess were the killers. Li Yuechen asked them to point out the person to be killed with their hands, while clapping their hands to interfere with other people's hearing.

Then it was announced that Qian Niuwei opened his eyes, it was his mother Wu Zetian and his fourth brother Li Lun.

After announcing that dawn opened his eyes, Li Yuechen said to his eldest brother Li Hong with regret, "Brother, you were killed, please express your opinion."

After thinking for a while, Li Hong shook his head and said, "There is no clue, nothing to say."

Li Yuechen smiled, and then asked them to speak one by one according to the rules, but unfortunately there was no clue for the first sentence, so they could only vote out one at random.

The one who voted was the second brother Li Xian. When he unfolded his identity card, the expressions of all parties were different.

The game continued, but it was a pity that the third brother Li Xian's acting skills were obviously not good, and he was directly voted out when he expressed his opinion in the second round.

After another two rounds, Princess Yiyang was discovered by her mother Wu Zetian, and she was thrown out directly.

The first round is over!

Perhaps feeling the fun of this game, Li Zhi laughed: "Not bad! Come again!"

After the experiment of the first round, everyone also fully understood how to play, so they sank into it again.

At the beginning, the children didn't dare to go too far with Li Zhi and his wife, and they didn't dare to vote for them.

But after playing with it later, it doesn't matter so much, and starts voting directly.

Li Zhi and the other two didn't care. After being voted out, they would show their identities and laugh because of the other party's misjudgment.

Once you devote yourself to one thing, time will pass quickly.

By the time everyone came back to their senses, it was dusk and it was almost time for dinner.

"Let's have dinner here today." Li Zhi waved his hand and asked Zhang Chengxin to prepare.

Wu Zetian also nodded in agreement, and smiled as she watched the children fighting together in front of her.

In fact, it was Li Yuechen who was the main one. The sons didn't dare to play around in front of Wu Zetian.

However, Li Yuechen couldn't help but kept teasing her, and looked carefully at her mother, who didn't seem to have any objection, so she also started to fight.

The Hall of Renshou is still very big, and in a short while it developed from fighting to fighting on horseback!

Li Hong carried Li Yuechen on his back, Li Xian carried Li Lun, the youngest among his brothers, and everyone else cheered on.

It was rare for Wu Zetian not to lose his temper, but just watched with interest while holding a teacup.

Li Zhi even raised his hand while holding the health ball and shouted: "Play well, if one side wins, I will reward you!"

Li Yuechen knew that with his own strength, he could easily tear Li Lun off.

But today the main purpose is to play, not to win or lose, so I plan to release water.

So he immediately slapped his elder brother Li Hong on the shoulder: "Brother, hit him!"

"Okay, okay..." Li Hong also smiled dotingly, and directly ran towards Li Xian with her on his back.

Not to be outdone, Li Xian also bumped towards this side.

At the same time, Li Yuechen reached out his hand to grab Li Lun's clothes and pulled them down, as if he was trying very hard.

Not to be outdone, Li Lun also grabbed her wrist and pulled her forward.

While the two were tugging at each other, Li Yuechen did not forget to remind: "Brother, hit him! Hit him!"

It's a pity that Li Hong's health is not very good, and his stamina gradually failed to keep up with Li Xian's constant shoulder bumps.

"Haha... Eldest brother's strength is insufficient, Shiro hastened to pull Yuechen down!" Li Xian laughed and was about to retreat.

After he finished speaking, he retreated, but Li Lun hadn't reacted yet, because he was tugged with Li Yuechen, and slipped off him directly.

Li Yuechen let go of his hand and let him fall on the floor with a muffled sound.

"Huh?" Li Xian couldn't believe it, "Why did Shiro fall by himself?"

"Hahaha..." Li Yuechen laughed loudly, "Second brother, according to the art of war, when the enemy is about to win, it is also the time when they are most relaxed. You made a mistake!"

Li Xian scratched his hair pretending to be annoyed: "Okay, second brother admit defeat! Yuechen is amazing!"

"Hmph!" Li Yuechen put his hands on his hips with a look on his face.

Wu Zetian behind the table slightly turned his head: "It makes sense."

"Be able to apply what you have learned, and don't read dead books..." Li Zhi nodded, and continued to mutter: "Okay...okay..."

Looking at the children fighting together, Li Zhi had a bright smile on his face.

As a wife, Wu Zetian pondered. How long has it been since he smiled so happily and relaxed?
