Chapter 423: Gao Yang Visits
7496
The East Palace, part of the Imperial Palace, is undoubtedly the most luxurious place in the world in this era, and in the eyes of the world, it is absolutely a mouth-watering thing to live in such a fairyland-like place, not to mention how pleasing the beautiful palace complex looks to the eye, not to mention how wonderful it is to set foot in the green grass and flowery scenery, just to say that the beautiful women who shuttle back and forth like clouds are enough to make people reverie, admittedly, all this is true, It's a pity that such a magnificent place is actually just a beautiful birdcage, and the guy locked up inside is called the prince. People who have never lived in the East Palace can never imagine the dullness and boredom of life in the East Palace, especially for people like Li Zhen who can't be idle, it is even more boring to the extreme.
The days are just passing day by day, seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, it has been more than a month since he entered the East Palace, and then, except for the beginning when he moved for a while, there is nothing for Li Zhen to worry about government affairs? The old man didn't give this permission, let alone handle official business, even Li Zhen didn't have the right to approve it, of course, he still could, but the old man didn't let Li Zhen express his opinions, so Li Zhen could only just watch it, and then he saw a group of brothers tossing and turning in ministry affairs, Li Zhen was even more depressed to get home, as for housework, since Pei Yan and other wives and concubines arrived in Beijing, naturally Chen Qianniang took over the internal affairs of the East Palace, and there was no need for Li Zhen to get in the way. Yes, there is nothing to do, Li Zhen originally wanted to take advantage of her free days to train her son, but unexpectedly, this job did not make it Li Zhen's turn to intervene in the old man who hurt Sun Xin and Concubine Yan De took turns to pick up Xiao Li Chun into the palace to play, every early in the morning, and did not return until dark, God knows how the stinky boy coaxed the second old man to be happy, this time it is good, Li Zhen, who is a father, is very rare to see his son, let alone what is not trained.
There is nothing to do with Li Zhen in the East Palace left and right, do you have the heart to go out of the palace and go around, Bisheng is still wearing a big hat of the crown prince on his head, and there are countless people staring at his words and deeds. If you don't make a lot of trouble and are not doing your job, you will have a lot of fun if you are idle or so on, so Li Zhen actually has one thing left to play chess.
At the beginning, Li Zhen was with his two major strategists, but after a few rounds, the two major strategists were unhappy to lose, all washed their hands of gold, and stopped playing with Li Zhen.
Li Zhen's chess skills have nothing to say, in his previous life, he played very smoothly, and there are really not many people who can make moves with Li Zhen in the Tang Dynasty, that is, several royal chess attendants can compete with Li Zhen, but compared with Fan Zhe, a Go master in the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhen's chess is a little bit not enough to see, although it can win in the overall situation, but it is inferior to Fan Zhe's boss in terms of combat power and delicate ending, and a game of chess is dark, after several fierce battles, Li Zhen, who is a little weaker in chess, finally lost three sons.
Fan Shizhao is clever, and the palace loses. When the last son was settled, Li Zhen only glanced at the chessboard and estimated that he had lost three sons, so he smiled at the chessboard and simply admitted defeat.
Fan Zhenai is Jiang Youren's clan, in his early thirties, immersed in chess since childhood, played a good hand of chess, Zhenguan 14 years, only 17 years old Fan Zhe was recommended to Chang'an City by the state assassin history, once put a chess ring, challenged the Beijing division of all walks of life, won more than 10 games in a row, the reputation was slightly raised, and then with the chess attendant at that time one of the masters Huang Minghuan in the upper garden for ten chess battles, with a 7-3 victory, won the imperial banner chess road one, then the name shocked the world, long-term chess call, Li Shimin every game Xing, mostly served by it, It can always make Li Shimin go home happy, this time was called by Li Zhen, the new prince, to accompany the game, originally just playing with the idea of coping, but a game of chess, but the heart was haggard, completely forgot the original plan to let the chess of careful thinking, at this time saw Li Zhen admit defeat, this was shocked to realize that he was too devoted, even His Royal Highness the prince dared to win, when he was scared out of a cold sweat, when he looked up to see Li Zhen smiling happily, not like a fake, the heart was a little calm, and hurriedly replied: His Royal Highness is wise, Weichen is just a fluke ahead, if it is again, Wechen will definitely lose.
Playing chess is a pastime, Li Zhen is just playing chess to pass the time, how can he care about winning or losing, at this time, seeing Fan Zhe winning chess but panicked, there is really something bad in his heart, so he smiled and waved his hand: Chess is also the way, it is one of the six arts of the gentleman, you must not fake, if you fake chess, it is better not to play, this palace can be summoned with Fan Shi, happy!
Seeing that Li Zhen's words seemed to be from the bottom of his heart, Fan Zhe's hanging heart finally fell to the ground, and he secretly sighed and stabilized his mind, and then he commented: His Royal Highness's chess spirit is very great, and Wechen has never seen it, but the subtleties are a little unfamiliar, otherwise, Wechen may be difficult to support to the middle game, and what Wechen said is really lucky, ashamed, ashamed!
Li Zhen had worked Go in his previous life, but since he came to Datang, he didn't study more, that is, he just played with his previous skills, he knew that his chess was not delicate enough, but he didn't care much, the left and right were just to kill time, how could he take it seriously, at this time, seeing Fan Zhe's words, he knew it in his heart, smiled, and was just about to open his mouth to be humble, but he saw Wang Binghe, the eunuch in charge of the East Palace, walking in cautiously from outside the hall, so he didn't say anything on the chess track, and nodded to Fan Zhe with a smile, And then looked at Wang Binghe with an inquiring look.
Your Royal Highness, Princess Gaoyang asked to see her outside the palace. After Wang Binghe glanced at Fan Zhe, he whispered.
Well? Why did this dead girl come here? Heh, the sun is coming out of the west? As soon as Li Zhen heard that Princess Gaoyang came to ask to see, she was stunned for a moment when Princess Gaoyang had a good relationship with Li Zhen since she was small, but before she got married, she did not go to Li Zhen's mansion to play the autumn breeze, and she entered and exited Li Zhen's palace as unimpeded as her own house, but since she married the second son of the right servant Xuan Ling, he has rarely climbed the door of Li Zhen's house again, this time Li Zhen has returned to Beijing for more than two months, and has not seen Princess Gaoyang show up. But Li Zhen has been in charge of the East Palace for more than a month, but this girl still hasn't come to congratulate her, and she is about to come out coldly, but Li Zhen can't help but be suspicious.
Everyone who came was a guest, not to mention a girl who grew up together since childhood, since she came, she always wanted to see her, Li Zhen had some doubts, but she didn't bring it to her face, smiled indifferently, got up, nodded to Fan Zhe and said: Fan Shizhao, there are still some things to take care of in this palace, let's go here today, change to the Japanese palace and ask Fan Shizhao for advice.
Don't dare, don't dare, Your Highness, please take care of yourself, and Weichen will retire. Seeing that Li Zhen was so polite, Fan Zhe was really moved in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down to answer, and retreated on his own.
Is Gao Yang coming alone? Li Zhen walked slowly in the direction of the palace gate, and asked without looking back with a casual look.
Yes, Princess Gaoyang came alone, and Fang Duwei did not accompany her. Wang Binghe was able to squeeze out Liu Dequan, the head of the old palace, and thus become the chief eunuch of the East Palace, naturally he was not an idle person, as soon as he heard Li Zhen's question, he immediately knew what he meant, and he hurriedly replied.
Well. Li Zhen replied noncommittally, and did not take the soft chariot that had been prepared, and walked towards the Yongchun Gate of the East Palace
Princess Gaoyang has never been a person who follows the rules, she is generous and righteous, she has always been popular in Beijing, she is one of the leaders among the celebrities in Beijing, and she can be regarded as an outlier among the more than 20 princesses of Taizong. And she herself has always been hiding in the carriage and not coming out, this is not quite like Princess Gaoyang's personality, you must know that in the past, this girl has never been so honest when she entered the palace, she has always handed over the sign to the palace, who dares to stop it a little, it must be a palm mouth waiting, today's lady is really making the East Palace guards who were transferred from the Yulin Army curious, I can't understand which tendon this girl has the wrong line, of course, no one has the courage to ask a clear, It's just a private guess.
What others think of Princess Gaoyang at this time is too lazy to pay attention, of course, she really doesn't have the heart to care about the idea of others at this time Princess Gaoyang has never been a woman who is willing to live under the people, and she is quite politically minded, although the relationship between her and Li Zhen is better than that of several other brothers, but she has never been optimistic that Li Zhen can enter the East Palace, therefore, after Hou Junji rebelled, Li Zhen raised the banner of seizing the heir, and Princess Gaoyang consciously alienated Li Zhen, The feelings between each other gradually faded, but she didn't expect that after Li Zhen left the outside of the plug, she could lay down a world with her bare hands, and finally was able to defeat the rest of the brothers and go straight to the top of the clouds in one fell swoop, which surprised Princess Gaoyang, but also regretted her own alienation of Li Zhen, but if you want to make up for the relationship between each other, it is not so simple, therefore, Princess Gaoyang can only wait for the opportunity, and now, since she has learned a secret, Princess Gaoyang plans to take the opportunity to go to the East Palace to walk around. But after a long time, she never saw a letter from the East Palace, which made Princess Gaoyang feel a little uneasy.
Princess, princess, here, here, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down. When Princess Gaoyang was thinking a lot, the curtain of the carriage was suddenly opened, and the close-fitting maid came in panting, shouting nervously.
Yes. Princess Gaoyang obviously didn't expect Li Zhen to greet her in person, so she panicked, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to straighten the whole neat clothes, and wiped her face, and then got out of the carriage with the help of the close-fitting maid, and saw the tall and burly Li Zhen looking at herself with a smile on her face, Princess Gaoyang's face immediately couldn't help but redden, and she gasped quickly, and then she stepped forward with a light step, and called sweetly: Starling.
Princess Gaoyang consciously alienated herself Li Zhen was not unclear, but she really didn't go to her heart, in Li Zhen's opinion, this is just an instinct of the royal children to avoid interests, it is not a big deal, of course, I don't mind at all, it is impossible, after all, Li Zhen is not a saint, it is not to hold grudges, but it is inevitable to be unhappy, but at this time, as soon as I saw Princess Gaoyang standing in front of me, Li Zhen's heart was soft, and the feelings between brothers and sisters in the past immediately surged, rushed those slight unhappiness to Java.
Dead girl, I finally remembered to come and see the starling, let's go in. How could Li Zhen not know the lively personality of Princess Gaoyang, and when she saw her pretending to be a lady, she was angry and funny for a while, and scolded with a smile.
Princess Gaoyang is familiar with Li Zhen's personality, and knows that if Li Zhen treats people politely, then she must not treat this person as her own, but if she laughs and scolds casually, it means that he does not treat the person who comes as an outsider.
Girl, they are all children's mothers, and they are so naughty, be careful to teach your boy, come, go with the starling. Li Zhen straightened her face and pretended to reprimand, but her eyes were full of smiles.
Not really. Princess Gaoyang pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice, seeing Li Zhen's eyes swept over, she hurriedly closed her mouth and wrinkled her nose cutely, which made Li Zhen laugh out loud
Princess Gaoyang of the East Palace is not here once, whether it is the era of Li Chengqian or the era of Li Zhi, Princess Gaoyang is a frequent visitor here, and she is very familiar with the scene and everything in the East Palace, but at this time, sitting in the hall of the Hall of Xiande, looking at the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar face of Li Zhen sitting opposite, Princess Gaoyang has a feeling of being in a dream, and she is full of emotion in her heart, and she sighed, and said quietly: Starling, you are now thinking that your wish has come true, and the little sister has not had time to congratulate you, you will not blame the little sister for being late.
Gao Yang's emotion Li Zhen was concerned, but Li Zhen didn't want to talk about this sad topic, smiled, changed the topic and said: Dead girl, I came to find the starling brother today, should I be here to fight the autumn wind again? Well, how much, say it.
Not really! When Princess Gaoyang heard this, she immediately jumped to her feet, and shouted unhappily: Starling has wronged people, my little sister has something to do today, hmph, let's talk nonsense, I'll tell Sister Yan to go.
Serious business? Hehe, this little girl who doesn't grow up is also down to business? Li Zhen was deliberately teasing Princess Gaoyang, at this time, when she saw that Gaoyang's youngest daughter exploded, she laughed out loud, and after laughing wildly, she saw that Princess Gaoyang's face was not good-looking, so she quickly stopped laughing, faked coughed a few times, and pretended to be serious: cough, cough, what is the seventeenth sister, although this chapter is played, the palace will listen to it.
Okay, starling bullies, I'll go to Sister Yan and say, hum, ignore you. Princess Gaoyang looked angry, jumped up, and was about to go out of the hall, but after walking for a while, she found that Li Zhen did not stop her, so she couldn't help but stop, turned her head to look, but found that Li Zhen was smiling evilly there, and when she landed, she was ashamed and angry, clenched her small fists, pounced on her, and beat Li Zhen without a head, and shouted unhappily: Stinky starling, necrotic, bullying people
Ah, Seventeenth Sister, be merciful to your subordinates Li Zhen pretended to be scared, and hurriedly begged for mercy, but she didn't stop Princess Gao Yang's fist, and let Gao Yang tickle herself with a pink fist.
If you don't fight, it hurts me to death, hum, stinky starling, I hate it! Li Zhen, who was beaten, was fine, but Gao Yang, who was beaten, had a sore hand, and beat Li Zhen angrily, then stopped, crossed his waist, and looked at Li Zhen angrily.
Okay, okay, okay, isn't it okay for the starling to apologize? Li Zhen arched her hands with a grin, and said with a calm look.
Hmph, no sincerity. Princess Gao Yang snorted unhappily and turned her head away.
The seventeenth sister is on top, and the starling brother apologized to you. Li Zhen laughed, got up, and made a fake gesture.
That's pretty much it. Princess Gaoyang glanced at Li Zhen, walked to the back of a few sons and sat down, picked up a fan on a few pieces and shook it, and said with a solemn face: Starling, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, are your polo teams ready?
What? Polo team? Li Zhen looked at Princess Gaoyang in confusion, stretched out her hand and scratched her head, stunned that she didn't understand that Princess Gaoyang's polo is the most fashionable sport in Beijing, Li Shimin once ordered the whole army to carry out this sport, there are many polo matches in Chang'an City every year, and there are many professional masters specializing in this sport, but Li Zhen rarely participates in these things, when he was a child, he was busy learning art and had no time to play, and when he became an adult, he was busy winning the heir, and he didn't have time to tinker, let alone play polo in person, but he didn't watch a few polo gamesAt most, I accompany the old man to the polo court to watch a few games during the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, and most of them are absent-minded, and they don't care about polo at all.
Princess Gaoyang naturally knew that Li Zhen didn't play polo, and when she saw Li Zhen looking dazed, she immediately frowned, and said with a worried face: Starling, you are still in the dark, but others are waiting to see your jokes.
Well? That doesn't sound right! Li Zhen frowned, and made a gesture of invitation: How can you say this?
Princess Gaoyang said with a worried face: Starling, according to the old practice, there are several competitions in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and all the palaces have to form teams to participate, in the past, you were a prince, and no one said anything about you if you didn't participate, but now that you are the prince, you must have a team to participate.
Damn, there is such a thing, ha, damn it, it must be those bastards who stir up the right and wrong! Li Zhen is a sober person, although Princess Gaoyang said very vaguely, but Li Zhen understood what was going on as soon as she heard it, and she felt a little headache for a while
