Great Tang princess

Chapter 823 Young Appearance

Everyone walked and chatted on the street, and from time to time tasted the lanterns hanging on the railing.

Because of the affluent life nowadays, even ordinary ordinary people can take a lantern to the streets.

As for the lanterns hanging on the street, there are all kinds of strange things.

Thanks to the good economic situation, it can also drive the income of artisans who specialize in making lanterns.

If you have money, you will naturally consume, so people who set up stalls outside this year also made a small fortune.

"So, this is how money flows. Although the overall amount remains the same, the people can become rich..." Li Yuechen explained the principle to Shangguan Wan'er.

Although this is only the basic knowledge in finance, it is very advanced in this era.

But Shangguan Wan'er did not understand this aspect as well as Princess Xuancheng, and she could fully understand it after listening to Li Yuechen's explanation.

Princess Yiyang also listened with great interest, and then said: "This can already be regarded as a separate subject."

Of course, it is a specialized subject, but Li Yuechen himself doesn't understand finance, so he can only wait for the future generations to gradually perfect it.

There's only so much she can do.

A few people walking on the street is undoubtedly a very beautiful scenery, so many pedestrians can't help but look sideways.

It's just that after seeing it, he immediately lowered his head. After all, the clothes on several people can tell that they are definitely not ordinary people.

Of course, this is only for ordinary people. For some dandies, Shangyuan Festival is also a day to go to the streets to flirt with girls.

Speaking of it, it was also brought up by Li Yuechen.

During the Gaozong Dynasty, the association of the children of the rich and powerful started a wave of free love, so that now, in the families of the rich and powerful, except for the eldest son and eldest daughter, most of the children began to fall in love freely.

And free love means a change in the way you socialize.

That's why many dudes now like to strike up a conversation with pretty girls when they see them on the street.

Of course, the people they strike up a conversation with are basically powerful people. After all, the women who can take their entourage to the streets are at least from rich business families.

Today Li Yuechen wore women's clothing, which was completely different from his usual attire.

But even so, seeing her outstanding height, many people who have met her can still tell the difference.

However, when a few people were sitting at the tea stand by the roadside, ready to take a break, their conspicuous height was temporarily concealed.

Several people sat on the stools of the tea booth, and then Yiluoru went to make tea.

After all, their identities are different. In order to prevent poisoning, the tea they drank was brought from the princess mansion by themselves.

Now there is a thermos, and you can drink water whenever you want.

It's nothing more than occupying the stool of the tea stall owner, and it's over after a while to give two rewards.

So several people each held a cup of hot tea and chatted casually with each other.

At this moment, a few young men walked by: "You ladies, you seem to be in a good mood, but you want to..."

Seeing the man who spoke, everyone turned their heads curiously.

The guards around the princess quietly held the ax under the skirt with their hands behind their backs.

If it weren't for seeing the empty hands of these young people, I'm afraid they would have pulled them out immediately.

Being a bodyguard also requires eyesight. You can't show your weapons casually, otherwise it will be too eye-catching.

So when seeing the empty hands of the few young people who came over, they just raised their vigilance and didn't act immediately.

Everyone turned their heads and saw that a few young men came over, who knew that they were either rich or expensive just by looking at their clothes.

The oldest one was only in his early 20s, and the youngest one, with a circle of fine hair on his face, was estimated to be thirteen or fourteen years old at most.

Several people are all dressed in white, looking like the handsome young man in the future costume TV series.

Seeing someone coming to strike up a conversation, Li Yuechen felt a little curious, and asked with a smile: "Do you have something to say?"

The oldest guy immediately bowed slightly and said: "I just watched a few ladies play together, I'm thinking about whether we can watch the lanterns together... Speaking of which, why not watch the fireworks together tomorrow night..."

Li Yuechen asked curiously: "Don't you think there is a big age difference between you and me?"

"Young lady, I'm joking, maybe I'm a year or two older than me, it's far from being too different..." The other party replied.

Hearing this sentence, Li Yuechen and the others couldn't hold back, and laughed outright.

Such a smile made the other party's eyes widen, as if seeing flowers blooming all over the mountains and plains at that moment.

Among them, the youngest, Li Yuechen, was already 36. She never expected to be regarded as a girl in her early twenties. One could imagine how young she looked.

"Then what should I wait for?" Princess Xuancheng asked.

Both Princess Xuancheng and Princess Yiyang are over 50 years old, and even sister-in-law Pei Qingwan is approaching [-].

Although she also exercised with Li Yuechen, she was not as exaggerated after all, but her appearance was also about ten years younger than her actual age.

If you don't look at the face and only look at the figure, then someone will definitely believe that they are 30 years old.

Even in terms of body shape, they also have streamlined muscle lines. Compared with young people, the biggest difference is that they are older and their skin is not as shiny as young people.

"These...the three are indeed too different in age from me. But these two..."

Before the person on the other side finished speaking, a voice suddenly rang out from behind: "I still said where did you go... What are you doing here?"

The youngest kid next to him turned his head and smiled and said, "Brother Lu, Brother Wang just saw two young ladies and wanted to invite them to play together..."

After the visitor heard it, he didn't say anything, so he came over to say hello.

However, when he saw the woman in the cloak in the middle, he was slightly stunned, only to feel that the other party was extremely beautiful, and instantly attracted all the attention.

It's just this face...I always feel as if I've seen it somewhere...

Li Yuechen felt a little surprised that the person who came was actually Lu Zhenxing, Lu Yao's cousin, who was also Li Chongrun's future brother-in-law.

The person on the opposite side introduced: "Brother Lu, we will watch the fireworks together tomorrow, why not invite these two young ladies..."

"Bastard!"

After reacting, Lu Zhenxing directly raised his leg and kicked the opponent's ass, causing him to stagger a few steps before falling to the ground.

The young man who was kicked didn't know why he suddenly beat him, and was about to ask.

However, Lu Zhenxing saluted Li Yuechen respectfully: "This little brother has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, so he offended His Royal Highness, please spare his life!"

Hearing this sentence, the other boys were slightly taken aback.

Your Highness?Those who can be called like this, without exception, are definitely the immediate relatives of the emperor.

The faces of those who were still puzzled froze, and then they quickly saluted respectfully, and the same was true for the one who was kicked just now.

Several people said in unison: "I beg Your Royal Highness to forgive me!"

"All right, all right, let's all be free!" Li Yuechen waved his hand.

In the end, it was nothing more than flirting with pretty girls, and they didn't make any moves. As long as they were polite and didn't force them, it wasn't a big deal.

Seeing that the princess was very kind and not angry, everyone was relieved.

"Forget it this time, it doesn't matter if you wait until you see a good-looking woman to talk to, but remember not to force the other party, understand?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I'll understand!" Several people quickly agreed.

"That's good, go play by yourself." Li Yuechen waved his hand and let them leave.

It wasn't until they walked more than 50 meters that the group really felt relieved.

Then they all saluted Lu Zhenxing: "Thank you Brother Lu for saving your life!"

Lu Zhenxing said helplessly: "It's true that you actually found the eldest princess..."

"This... the eldest princess was born in Linde's reign, and she is nearly forty now. Who would have thought..."

"Hmph, don't you know about the rumor that the eldest princess has good looks?"

The person who was reprimanded had a complicated expression on his face: "I know, but... how could I have imagined that it would be so powerful, it really feels like I am about the same age."

Hearing the other party's answer, Lu Zhenxing didn't speak, but sighed helplessly.

Thinking of when I saw the eldest princess and my elder sister together before, it is really hard to believe that there is a difference of ten years between the two.

In fact, I don't blame them. If they were standing, facing the princess's towering height, they might not dare to talk to her.

……

But for Li Yuechen, today's matter was just a small episode, and he didn't take it to heart.

On the contrary, Shangguan Wan'er was very happy. After all, to be regarded as a girl in her 20s was to praise her for being young.

As a woman, encountering such a thing is of course very worthwhile.

So along the way, the smile on my face never stopped.

Seeing her happy, Li Yuechen went to the stall set up by the secret guards and bought her some snacks to eat.

There are many people on the main street of Dongdu, bustling.

Although today is the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, there are no fireworks to watch at night, but the prosperity of the city can be seen from the crowd on the street.

After wandering all the way to the edge of Luoshui, Li Yuechen looked up.

On the brightly lit walls of the imperial city, several figures could be seen hiding behind the lights.

Although it is not very clear in the case of backlight, but the figure can indeed be seen vaguely.

Just as he was about to raise his hand to say hello, an inner guard in military uniform had already arrived in front of him and raised his hand in salute: "Your Highness, the saint invites you to go up to the city wall to enjoy the lantern."

While the inner guard was speaking, he subconsciously looked at her face more.

The main reason is that Princess Taiping's image in the army has been relatively fixed over the years, and this is the first time he has seen a princess in women's clothing after serving in the army for so many years.

I have to say that after wearing women's clothes, I feel completely different from the usual feeling. Without that heroic spirit, I look like an extremely beautiful woman.

Of course, the premise is to ignore the stance...

After all, Li Yuechen has never received etiquette training since he was a child, so he can't take the small steps of a woman in the palace, even if he is wearing a skirt, he is still striding.

In court etiquette, when a woman stands, she should put her feet together, put her hands in front of her belly, and bow her head slightly.

However, Li Yuechen didn't do this kind of action. Even in women's clothes, he still held his chest up and his legs apart.

What's more, this improved women's dress has pockets, and the two hands are directly inserted in the pockets, which seems to be completely incompatible with the word etiquette.

Although it is said that women in the Tang Dynasty are men, but that is more reflected in their character.

And a woman who behaves like this on weekdays is actually relatively rare, especially in the court.

……

All the way to the city wall, I saw the emperor's family enjoying the lanterns here.

Tables and chairs were placed on the city wall, and Sun Jingbang placed a stove next to him to boil water and make tea.

And Li Xian was holding a health ball in his hand, standing on the edge of the city wall with the children, discussing where the lanterns would be more beautiful.

When Li Yuechen came up, he happened to hear Li Qiule talking.

"Grandpa, why don't you make some lanterns in the palace next year?"

"Oh? What style does Qiu Le want to make?"

"Well, it's in the shape of a grenade, it looks interesting!"

Hearing the little sister's speech, Li Chongrun raised his eyebrows helplessly: "Don't mess around!"

Li Qiule snorted, not wanting to talk to this boring elder brother, turned her head and ran towards Li Yuechen: "Auntie!"

"Hey!" Li Yuechen agreed, and then hugged her up.

Although he is already an 11-year-old child, to Li Yuechen, it seems weightless to hug him.

The other children also came to salute and say hello.

Compared with their parents, these children spend more time with Li Yuechen, so they will be closer to her.

Shangguan Wan'er and Pei Qingwan also saluted the emperor and empress.

"Okay, okay, we're all one family, so don't be polite." Li Xian waved his hand, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Yuechen's appearance for many years."

These words immediately aroused the children's curiosity, and Li Chongfu asked directly: "Huh? So my aunt also wears women's clothing?"

The other children all had the same curious expressions.

"That's right, when I was young, it was also the Shangyuan Festival, and I enjoyed the lanterns with the first emperor." Having said that, Li Xian raised his hand and gestured, "At that time, Yuechen had braids on both sides of his head, and his head And it has bunny ears on it."

"Rabbit ears?" Li Chongjun turned his head, "Auntie is really a fairy, isn't she? She can also grow rabbit ears."

"Hahaha, it didn't grow out, it was made of rabbit fur." ​​Li Xian explained to the child with a smile.

Li Yuechen was a little helpless: "Okay brother, there is no need to tell the children about such things."

Although it is nothing in itself, but speaking out in front of the children, I always feel that there is a feeling of black history being exposed.

Hearing this, Li Xian also smiled and showed a nostalgic look: "Why? Wouldn't it be good to let them know?"

"Also, with cameras in the future, future generations will not only be able to hear, but also see." Wei Lian'er added next to her.

This aroused the children's greater interest, and they couldn't help but start to imagine what it would be like when they had children and let them see what they are now...

After the children's attention was diverted, Li Xian also got down to business: "At the beginning you said that the Western Regions would be gradually merged into the Tang Dynasty, but now that the Western Regions have never provoked, how about setting up the Capital Protectorate in Tingzhou?"
