The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 205 Unchanged

Hasn't it changed?

Hearing An Weiyang's words, Li Xinni looked stunned and couldn't help but look up at An Weiyang who was standing aside.

But I saw An Weiyang's face was beautiful. In 28 years, Hua was a beautiful woman in her prime. She was wearing a light pink palace dress. The golden steps on her bun were gently swaying. The hairpin was green, which contrasted with the golden steps. Shine.

Yes, the thin and stubborn little girl has changed. She has become a grown woman and even more beautiful.

Ten years passed by in a flash, but to me, it seemed like it was just a blink of an eye. But for others, it has been another long decade.

Looking at myself again, in the bronze mirror, my beautiful face seems to have not changed at all, and the years have left no trace.

She was silent for a moment, then looked at An Weiyang aside and asked softly: "Will anything big happen in Chang'an City in these ten years?"

"event……"

An Weiyang pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No big thing happened, and the Junzi Tower and the Women's Palace are the same as before, but there are more and more women and men in them!"

Naturally, Li Xinni was not surprised by this.

Nowadays, the world is stable, and although there are not many poor children, the Women's Palace and Junzi Tower have also adopted many children of military generals.

"Then where did the women and men who walked out of the Junzi Tower and the Women's Palace go?"

"Naturally, some men enter the army to work hard, some enter the court, or engage in business, while only a few women enter the palace as female officials, and more of them are looking for a good man to marry. Got it!"

Speaking of this, An Weiyang also showed a smile on her face and said: "And more women in the Women's Palace are married to men in the Junzi Tower..."

"Um……"

Li Xinni listened quietly. As she left Chang'an City, the Junzi Tower and the Women's Palace were operating normally, and there were schools in them, so they were both knowledgeable.

Even more so, at the feet of the Emperor, the institution established by Princess Yongan naturally received many special cares.

And these cares are what they deserve.

"Princess, can you send someone to the palace to tell His Majesty that the princess has returned?"

Just as Li Xinni was pondering, An Weiyang on the side said: "Since the princess left Chang'an City, your majesty, the emperor, and the empress dowager in the palace have all missed her very much..."

"No need!"

Li Xinni waved her hand, "I will enter the palace later, and the emperor will naturally know by then!"

"Yes!"

After An Weiyang left, Li Xinni returned to his room, and immediately, Bai Zhi appeared.

The crimson feathers were like flames, shimmering with divine light, and like burning flames. The tail feathers flickered, drawing a graceful arc in the air, and then landed on the bronze sacred tree candlestick nearby.

"I'm afraid I'm going to sleep for a while..."

"Asleep?"

Hearing this, Li Xinni looked stunned, and immediately looked at Bai Zhi with worry on her face, "Is it..."

"Not really."

Bai Zhi interrupted Li Xinni's worries and said: "It's just a normal sleep, it shouldn't last too long. I will tell you as soon as I wake up."

"it is good……"

Hearing this, Li Xinni smiled again. At the same time, she seemed to have thought of something and said: "I wish the divine bird all the best..."

"Ok!"

Bai Zhi immediately left Princess Yongan's Mansion, and when he appeared again, he was already on Mount Li outside the city.

Temple of Divine Birds.

Still standing tall on Mount Li.

The ancient architectural style silently tells her antiquity, and the majestic and majestic momentum reveals the supreme glory of the pre-Qin period.

Below, Han Dynasty-style palaces are dotted, and further below, a large palace is under construction.

When he came back, Bai Zhi knew that it was the palace built under the orders of Emperor Tang. Bai Zhi did not stop it.

After a casual glance, Bai Zhi entered the Divine Bird Palace. It was still the same silk nest, and Bai Zhi fell into a deep sleep.

……

……

royal palace.

The Imperial Palace of the Tang Dynasty was expanded and built on the basis of the Han Palace. The majestic palace not only contains the majesty and majesty of the Han Dynasty in the past, but also the prosperity and wealth of the Tang Dynasty today.

Cornered cornices, carved beams and painted pillars show the royal wealth everywhere.

The palace maids in beautiful palace clothes walked among the palace walls. The bright red palace walls reflected the graceful figures of the palace maids, like beautiful pictures.

There were also imperial guards in majestic armor, their majestic faces staring ahead, not allowing young people to intrude without permission.

Li Xinni sat on Princess Yong'an's chariot and slowly entered the palace gate.

When the soldier who was responsible for guarding the palace gate saw the sign of Princess Yong'an on the car, he suddenly looked stunned, and then his face showed the original look.

Princess Yongan...is she back? !

After all, Princess Yongan has been out of Chang'an City for ten years!

Traveling around the world, I don’t know where I’m going!

Naturally, no one rides on the car with the Yongan Princess Mansion logo, and no one is qualified to ride.

And today, the car with the logo of Princess Yongan's Mansion entered the palace gate, which means that Princess Yongan is back!

Moreover, the only one who can drive a car into the palace gate is Princess Yong'an!

Other royal nobles can only get off the car in front of the palace gate, dismount their horses and walk into the palace gate!

The guards on both sides of the palace road respectfully watched Li Xinni's car slowly enter. As the car entered, someone finally entered the palace first and informed His Majesty!

In the palace, Tang Emperor Li Shimin is now nearly forty years old. Perhaps because he is busy with state affairs, he also has some gray hair on his temples.

Seeing the waiter hurriedly entering from the outside, a trace of displeasure appeared on his face, but before he could speak, he heard the waiter respectfully and happily report: "Your Majesty, Princess Yong'an...Princess Yong'an is back! "

"what?!"

Hearing the words "Princess Yong'an", Emperor Li Shimin was so shocked that he laughed to death. Then he took a few steps to the waiter and asked seriously: "You mean Princess Yong'an is back?!"

"Your Majesty, it's absolutely true!"

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

Emperor Li Shimin looked joyful and walked around the palace. After a moment, he said again: "No, I have to go and see. My sister is finally back..."

He looked at the waiter on the side and asked, "Where is Princess Yong'an now?"

"Your Majesty, Princess Yong'an is in the palace, on the way here!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't stand still, he immediately raised his feet and walked outside.

The palace maids and waitresses at the back quickly followed and passed, and the guards outside the palace also followed behind Li Shimin.

After walking out of the palace and standing on Danbi, Li Shimin saw from a distance a carriage slowly approaching on the palace road in the distance.

Seeing this, Li Shimin walked away quickly.

"elder sister!"

Li Xinni stepped out of the carriage and looked at the Emperor Li Shimin who was coming in a hurry. He even saw Li Shimin's old face, and was speechless for a moment.

Naturally, Li Shimin also saw Li Xinni's unchanged face. Seeing this, even Li Shimin couldn't help but be startled, and was brought back to his senses for a moment.

I have already guessed in my heart that this should be because of the divine bird.

"Sister, where have you been for the past ten years?"

Li Shimin took his sister's hand and walked slowly towards the palace.

The people following him stopped knowingly, and no one followed him.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Xinni smiled, patted Li Shimin's hand holding her, and then said: "Of course he has traveled around the world and visited many places!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin showed interest and said, "Where exactly did you go?"

Li Xinni immediately told the general place where she went, including the school where she had stayed to teach swordsmanship. The two siblings chatted for a while, and then Li Shimin remembered and said: "The emperor and the queen also miss my sister very much. Now, they say "sister" almost every day, so I'd better go and see..."

Having said this, Li Shimin's expression was obviously gloomy, and it seemed a little difficult to speak.

Seeing this, Li Xinni's heart sank, and she didn't care to talk to Li Shimin. She got up and walked towards the palace garden where the Supreme Emperor was.

……

The Supreme Emperor Li Yuan abdicated the throne because of the divine bird's advice and lived deep in the palace to recuperate and recuperate.

Now, he is nearly eighty years old.

At this time, both the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan and the Queen looked old and had difficulty moving. They were already octogenarians.

Even daily life requires the care of palace maids.

Li Xinni came to the palace and saw two old people sitting in the palace garden from a distance. When she saw the old faces of the two old people, even she, who was strong, could not help but shed tears at this time.

"Father, mother..."

Li Xinni shouted softly.

The two old men sitting in the palace garden immediately looked over and saw Li Xinni standing in front of the palace gate.

"Xin Ni..."

"Xin Ni, you are finally back..."

Li Xinni hurriedly walked over, squatted in front of the two of them, and expressed her longing for them.

Although the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan looked at it, he was still awake. He looked at Li Xinni's young face and smiled: "Xinni, you still look like this..."

The same was true for the Empress Dowager on the side. Looking at Li Xinni's face, her eyes shed tears of longing.

Li Shimin stood quietly on the side and watched quietly.

……

The news of Princess Yong'an's return spread throughout Chang'an City in an instant. After all, Li Xinni did not deliberately conceal it, so the news spread quickly.

And those who had the honor to meet Princess Yong'an in the past were all around thirty years old at this time.

They thought of the graceful Princess Yong'an they had seen, and it stayed in their memories and could never be forgotten.

When they heard the news that Princess Yong'an had returned from traveling all over the world, they instantly became excited.

They gathered in a wine shop and discussed with each other about Princess Yongan.

"My brother went to the south to do business two years ago, but he heard the legend about Princess Yong'an!"

"Oh? What specific legend is it?"

"It's just a woman who looks very similar to Princess Yong'an. That woman once worked as a teacher in the city for a while, and then left!"

"Someone also saw a woman entering the mountains in the northwest!"

"Some people also heard about a girl named Li in the village..."

"..."

……

They told each other, and as more and more stories about a young girl traveled through time, they gradually connected her with Princess Yongan.

"So, that woman is most likely Princess Yong'an!"

"I never thought that Princess Yong'an would really travel all over the world!"

"..."

……

Li Xinni returned from the palace, feeling a little heavy.

When he came back, the emperor told his father and mother's physical condition, which was not optimistic.

According to doctors, the life span of father and mother...

Li Xinni shook her head, thinking of the divine bird.

But the bird had fallen into a deep sleep, and even if it wasn't, she hesitated to ask the bird for help.

"Birth, old age, illness and death are all human nature. Perhaps, this is the true reincarnation of heaven..."

And being immortal and immortal are sometimes even more painful.

She had seen her father and mother working so hard before. I am afraid that for them, every day is a kind of torture!

She thought about herself again, and that she might be like this one day.

"No, I still have some unfinished business!"

She thought about the imperial examination system, the Women's Palace, and the Gentleman's Tower...

Princess Yong'an's Residence.

Li Xinni got off the carriage and immediately saw some people watching from the far side of Princess Yong'an's mansion. Seeing this, Li Xinni just shook her head slightly and didn't take it to heart.

On the second day, before dawn, Li Xinni got up early. At the same time, she changed into the princess's uniform under the service of An Weiyang.

On the princess's crown, there is her unique symbol of Princess Yong'an.

Wearing a phoenix crown on the head and jade on the waist, the jade ring is engraved with the word Yong'an, the phoenix hairpin flashes, and the golden hairpin shines.

Her skin is as fair as the white snow in winter, her red lips are as rosy as spring peach stamens, her eyes are as bright as summer springs, and her body is as exquisite as autumn fruits.

Princess Yong'an is undoubtedly the most beautiful woman in the Tang Dynasty.

After finishing dressing, Li Xinni walked out of the mansion and got into a chariot with hairpins and tassels. The chariot was followed by maids and waiters, looking dignified and solemn.

The carriage rolled and the horses' hooves clattered, slowly heading towards the palace.

Today is the court meeting, and Li Xinni is dressed so grandly, naturally it is also for attending the court.

In the Tang Empire, women could also be officials. Naturally, women could also ascend to the court.

Outside the palace gate, no matter the dignitaries or royal nobles, they all dismounted their horses and walked. However, a car with the logo of Princess Yong'an came slowly, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

They quietly watched Princess Yong'an's car approaching. At the same time, some people quickly bowed and saluted, saying: "I have met Her Royal Highness Princess Yong'an!"

"I have met Her Royal Highness Princess Yong'an!"

"I have met Her Royal Highness Princess Yong'an..."

"..."

Seeing the salutes coming and going respectfully, Li Xinni, who was sitting in the carriage, said: "No courtesy!"

The voice is gentle and crisp, with some characteristics of a woman of her age.

Hearing this, although some people were confused, they didn't care.

I just thought that Princess Yongan's voice had not changed.

Li Xinni was dressed in a costume, so she naturally couldn't get out of the car and walk. She drove into the palace gate, then walked a long distance and came directly to a palace.

"Sister, come over quickly and have some breakfast..."

Li Xinni stepped out of the carriage, only to see that the carriage had stopped in front of the palace where Emperor Li Shimin lived daily.

Obviously, Li Shimin was also preparing to go to court, but before that, he naturally had to eat some food.
