Chapter 16: Relatives

Li Chaoge’s voice lags behind, and the palace is quiet. Li Chaoge didn’t care, lowered his head and raised the lid, slowly blowing away the heat.

In the thick mist, a figure jumped from the beam of the room and fell silent, except for the fine dust gently falling. Bai Qianhe jumped to the ground, and as soon as he stood firm, he said: “Make one point in advance, I just came here, and I will not be there when you change clothes.”

“I know.” Li Chaoge took a sip of tea calmly and said softly, “Otherwise, you won’t live now.”

Bai Qianhe was speechless for a while, but knew that Li Chaoge did not exaggerate. If he dared to change his mind, he didn’t need to do it. As soon as he got up, he was killed by Li Chaoge.

Seeing that there was no misunderstanding between the two, Bai Qianhe could talk peacefully, so he found a place to sit down and picked an orange and peeled it off: “You know?”

“Of course I know.” Li Chaoge gave him a faint look. “If I don’t know, why come to Dongdu?”

Bai Qianhe peeled off his yellow skin and dropped a petal into his mouth. It was a bit unexpected, but when I think about it, it makes sense.

When he asked Li Chaoge’s name earlier, Li Chaoge refused to tell him, because she wanted to come because she was a princess. She has an explanation for her dining etiquette incompatible with the clothes she wears, her extraordinary understanding of the court’s institutions, and the strange behavior when she sees the emperor and empress.

Bai Qianhe ate the oranges three times, patted his hands, and asked, “You really are?”

“Obviously.” Li Chaoge put down the tea cup and bowed his head to adjust his sleeves. Even though she had worn it many times in her previous life, she still felt that the undergarment was extremely inconvenient when she put it on again. While struggling with the overly wide cuffs, she said flatly: “If I hadn’t, with the shrewd character of the Queen, would allow me to occupy her daughter’s position?”

Too. Bai Qianhe finished his food and asked questions, and there was no more reason to stay. Bai Qianhe stood up, clasped his fist and said: “I have seen many heroes, and I have seen countless Xiaoxiao Xiaoxiao. My sister is wise and brave, and can be regarded as a young talent. It is Bai Qian who can meet my younger sister. Fortunately for the crane, however, the people of the rivers and lakes do not deal with the government. Since the sister is a member of the court, then we will not pass it. If we are destined to see you later, as long as the sister is still willing to interact with us, the brother will personally compensate the younger sister and the future husband. Wedding wine.”

After Bai Qianhe finished speaking, he was about to leave. Li Chaoge didn’t stop him. When he went out, he suddenly asked: “You run errands to steal things for others, but for money. What if I can give you more?”

Bai Qianhe didn’t look back, and smiled lightly: “The rivers and lakes and the Chaotang well do not offend the river. Thanks to the princess, I am a little thief, and I dare not enter the princess’s eyes.”

Li Chaoge nodded, and asked at random: “What is Jianghu, and what is Chaotang?”

This sentence stopped Bai Qianhe. He stayed for a while and said, “The rivers and lakes are rivers and lakes, and the court is naturally the government.”

“The warriors of the rivers and lakes fight righteousness, and the government also redress for the people; the rivers and lakes fight and kill, on the court, the war of killing without seeing blood is everywhere. When a warrior of the rivers and lakes, the salvation is one person, one thing, and the people. Only there is. Chaotang can save the world.”

Bai Qianhe laughed as he was told, he turned around, looked at Li Chaoge, raised his eyebrows and asked: “I didn’t know how disrespectful the girl was a princess. Now you got what you wanted, your parents have recognized it, and the princess has become a princess. With your force, In the future, no one can hurt you no matter the court or the back house. You have got everything, why do you want to keep me? What do you want to do?”

In this regard, Li Chaoge just smiled slightly. She slowly raised her eyes, her eyebrows were picturesque, and the corners of her eyes were flying upwards, with a flamboyant energy, but the light in the eyes was bright and dazzling, and it was endless: “Who said, I want to return to the back house NS?”

She tried her best to be a princess, but she didn’t want to be prosperous and wealthy? Bai Qianhe was about to say something when the sound of walking suddenly came from outside. Bai Qianhe shuddered, and immediately left with a light effort. Li Chaoge glanced at his position coldly, and said mercilessly: “Come back and take your orange peel away.”

Bai Qianhe ran far, then returned, put away the orange peels and continued running.

Not long after Bai Qianhe left, there was a deep knock on the door. Several court ladies stood outside and asked in a low voice: “Princess, are you inside?”

Li Chaoge drank the tea unhurriedly and said, “I’m here. Come in.”

The maids opened the door, bowed their heads and saluted Li Chaoge: “Princess, please go there.”

Li Chaoge knew that she had finished changing her clothes here, and the queen would definitely come to pass her on soon. Li Chaoge was not surprised. She put down the tea cup and stood up and said, “If you work, let’s go.”

Li Chaoge went out to see the Queen of Heaven. In the front hall, the Queen of Heaven was reading a book and heard the report from the palace, the Queen closed the book, raised her head and smiled: “Chaoge, you are here.”

When Tian Hou saw Li Chaoge’s face earlier, she knew that she would be extremely beautiful in a change of clothes, but even if she had been prepared, the scene before her had greatly impacted her. The young woman in front of her was young and graceful, with picturesque eyebrows, black hair and snowy skin, and the moles of tears under her eyes were looming. Willow leaf eyebrows and moles with tears, this look should be extremely bitter and weak on other women, but Li Chaoge’s eyes are hooked, her pupils are extremely dark, her temperament is cold and strong, and she instantly appears bright and dazzling, beautiful and aggressive, even Moles of tears have become murderous.

Admiration appeared in the eyes of the Queen of Heaven. She sighed in her heart again, she was old.

The Li family is of Hu descent, but the Wu family is a pure Han from the Bingzhou clan. The sisters of the Wu family all have oval faces, willow eyebrows, and cherry lips. They are gentle and affectionate, charming and charming. It is precisely because of this that the queen can become a queen from Zhaoyi and have two sons and two daughters with the emperor.

She was able to get to where she is today, naturally because of her clever mind and excellent political ability. However, she was favored at first because of her looks.

Among the few children of the Queen of Heaven, Prince Li Shan and Zhao Wang Lihuai have all followed the Li family. Even their body and temperament are the same as their fathers. They suffer from constant serious illnesses and are particularly prone to fatigue. The youngest daughter, Li Changle, has a physique like a queen, born energetic, lively and healthy, but looks like an aunt, and has not inherited the characteristics of the martial arts side at all. Only Li Chaoge is the most like a queen in all aspects.

The more I look at the diva, the more I like it. Ten years apart, now that the eldest daughter returns safely, the queen can’t wait to double the maternal love she has missed in these years. She motioned Li Chaoge to sit next to her, shook Li Chaoge’s hand, and asked softly, “I was in a hurry just now. I didn’t have time to ask about your experience over the years. In the past few years, where have you lived, have you suffered, have you been bullied?”

Li Chaoge is not good at dealing with relationships. When the queen asked questions, she answered seriously: “I can’t remember what happened when I was a child. I heard Old Man Zhou said that he picked me up at the age of six. We lived in Pingshan before the age of twelve. In some cases, he took me to Heilin Village, Shili Dashan Mountain. It is inevitable that martial arts practice will have to endure hardship, but life in the mountains is inconvenient and perilous. It is right to endure hardship. If you refuse to endure hardship, you will die. Being bullied…This is not true.”

Li Chaoge was telling the truth. Old Man Zhou has been adhering to a principle since he was young. Being bullied means that he is useless. He fights back when he is strong, crying and crying for his parents to come forward. When Li Chaoge was very young, she was ridiculed as having no father and no mother. Later, she became more powerful, and she beat anyone who dared to provoke her into a pig head. When she was a child, she avenged herself one by one, and she didn’t count as being bullied.

When the Queen heard these words, her heart was sour and emotional. What life did Li Changle and the prince brother live since they were young, and what life did Li Chaoge live by? Compared to Luoyang Gongqing’s sons, Li Chaoge lives in a completely different world.

The Queen remembered that Li Changle could not write when he was eight years old. He was beaten by the master and cried for three days and three nights. The emperor, prince, king Zhao, and the family of Wu, Pei, and Changsun gave gifts in turn, doing everything possible to make Li Changle happy. Okay. It was easy for Li Changle to laugh again. As for Li Chaoge, he can say frankly, “It is right to endure hardship, and he will die if he refuses to endure hardship.”

The Queen sighed in her heart, and she asked again: “I heard that you saved the saint today. Why are you so strong that you can hold the demon bear’s attack with your bare hands?”

“It’s not a terrible monster.” Li Chaoge said in a very indifferent tone, “The small village where we live is surrounded by the Black Forest, with ten miles of mountains behind it. Every family depends on hunting for their livelihoods, and even five-year-olds can kill. Wolf. Jiannan is heavily foggy, and there are many spirits in the mountains. I have followed Old Man Zhou into the mountains since I was a child, and I have seen many dangerous monsters. The black bear spirit is just powerful and nothing.”

Tianhou sighed again. However, she believed Li Chaoge’s words. They chose to go to Jiannan during the change of Shuo Fang, because they valued that they depended on natural dangers, the Taoism was prosperous, and there were many hermits. Listening to Li Chaoge’s words, she was adopted by an expert and grew up in an isolated mountain village with extraordinary martial arts. The people in the village may not be aware of it, but if you put it outside, I am afraid that everyone is a master.

Killing wolves at the age of five is definitely not something ordinary children can achieve.

The Queen tentatively asked: “I don’t know where the knights and villages who adopted you are? They took you in and protected you from growing up, so they should give you a reward.”

Li Chaoge shook his head and said, “Old Man Zhou disappeared when I was fourteen. The village is surrounded by mountains and forests. The Black Forest is a barren land. For many years, few people have been able to come out alive. Outsiders can’t get in, but there are ancestors in the village. You must not leave your homeland unless you are punished by God. Therefore, I am afraid that the reward will not be sent to them.”

The Queen asked casually, hearing Li Chaoge’s words, she knew that such a stranger was the most difficult to win, so she gave up the idea of soliciting. However, the Queen noticed some details: “Not only do you know martial arts, but you also kill demons?”

Li Chaoge nodded slightly and said honestly: “It’s not a good idea, I can barely kill it.”

Tian Hou had listened to her attendant recounting what happened to Hou Shan, and according to her description, she did not feel that Li Chaoge was “reluctant.” Some thoughts vaguely came up in the Queen’s heart, but it’s too early. The Queen smiled softly and said to Li Chaoge: “It’s a good thing to have a skill. Although I feel sorry for you, but when I see you can protect yourself, I can rest assured that I can do whatever I want. I feel relieved where I go. The woman is inherently weak, leaving her backyard and her husband, she is nothing. But you are different. No matter who you marry in the future, A-niang will not have to worry about bullying you.”

Perhaps, instead, we have to worry about being bullied by Li Chaoge.

Li Chaoge did not answer, but his expression was very agreeable. She knew that the queen was different, and among the women in the world, Li Chaoge only admired the queen. There are some things that Li Chaoge is only willing to say to the queen, and only the queen can understand Li Chaoge’s thoughts.

Stripped of his motherhood, Li Chaoge really admires this woman. Li Chaoge later proclaimed emperor by force, while the Queen of Heaven proclaimed emperor, and every step of the way forward was based on his own mind and political ability.

One hundred years, one Mingjun, one thousand years, one Wu clan. Li Chaoge didn’t know, if her mother hadn’t proclaimed himself emperor, if her mother had not taken that step and showed her the heights that a woman could achieve and the scenery she created, she would not be born into the court and become an emperor on her own. Thoughts. Perhaps her whole life is just like a husband and wife, a husband and a child, and it is no different from Li Changle and Pei Chuyue.

The Queen looked at Li Chaoge, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt the surprise this daughter had given her. After it was lost that year, Tian Hou thought that the relationship between her mother and daughter had been broken. Who knows, she will be able to see each other again ten years later.

The queen tidyed up her arms and asked with a smile: “I remember you liked yellow when you were a kid. You want yellow clothes, and you only eat yellow fruits. Why didn’t you wear the yellow suit today?”

Li Chaoge twisted her eyebrows. She liked yellow when she was a child? Can’t remember at all. Li Chaoge said truthfully: “I don’t remember. If my mother likes it, I will change it now?”

“No.” Tianhou said, “I just mention casually, where can you go to change your clothes? Alas, I only regret not knowing your whereabouts over the years and not being able to grow up with you. I don’t even know your current preferences. NS.”

Li Chaoge didn’t know how to answer the conversation. She hesitated for a while, and tentatively said: “After I lost my memory, many of my memories before the age of six were blurred. daughter.”

“Yes.” The queen quickly looked away and said, “You are sixteen years old. How can you have the same preferences as when you were six? It doesn’t matter. We will get along for a long time in the future, so just remember it slowly.”

Li Chaoge was moved. She felt more guilty when she thought of what she had done in her previous life. As she was about to speak, the palace heard a report from outside: “His Royal Highness is here. King Zhao and Princess Guangning are here.”
