Tai Chi Palace.
Li Zhi smiled at Wu Zetian and said, "Chen Fengning just reported that the third brother came back at noon, and the second brother just came back, and the fourth brother is approaching Chang'an City. Di Renjie and the fourth brother are on the same boat.
My five chief stewards have gathered, but they all ran to the Grand Steward's Mansion instead of coming to my Taiji Palace. This is a bit unreasonable. What do you think, Queen?"
Wu Zetian put Taiping, who had just fallen asleep, into the bamboo stump, turned around and said to Li Zhi with a smile: "They didn't even need to report to the Grand Steward's Office, they went straight in. The Taiji Palace and the others can't come in, they have to wait in the Imperial City for your Majesty's summons."
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Haha, that's true. So it's my fault. Anyway, if the mountain doesn't come to me, I'll go to the mountain myself. Let's go to fight Wang Zheng's autumn wind for dinner tonight."
"It's just a dinner. Look what Your Majesty said." Wu Zetian chuckled.
Li Zhi said proudly: "The dinner made by Wang Zheng himself is different. Let's not talk about how it tastes, but the meaning is very different. How many people in the world can eat the food made by the chief steward and his disciples?"
"I'm still a little scared."

"Um."
The palaces are connected by dug canals and waterways, and there are also carriage roads, making transportation very convenient.
Wang Pingan thought for a moment and said, "Third Senior Brother is very tall, but he is very kind and is very good to Xiao Yuehua and me. Many people used to like him very much.
Li Dan looked around and nodded in agreement, "Well, the higher you sit, the farther you can see. I've never seen it from such a high position before. It's still fresh to see it now."
Although Taiji Palace and Daguanshi Mansion are both located in the north of Chang'an City, the distance between them is nearly ten miles. This shows how huge Chang'an City is.
Wang Pingan took the reins and the guards lifted Li Dan onto the horse's back. Xiao Yuehua hugged Li Dan and asked, "Do you feel different?"
Many eunuchs in the palace would tremble when they saw Second Senior Brother. I once saw with my own eyes that a young eunuch fainted on the spot because he broke a flower pot and was seen by Second Senior Brother. "
Li Xian also frowned along with Wang Pingan.
"Yeah?"
Outside the Taiji Palace, a guard was leading a horse around. Xiao Yuehua rode on the horse and said proudly, "Look, this is the horse my brother Zhen brought back for me from the Western Regions. It's much bigger than the BMWs in the palace."
Wang Ping'an was responsible for leading the horses, and the three of them walked in front together with Li Xian and his brother. Xiao Yuehua and Li Dan rode big horses in the middle, followed by a group of eunuchs and guards, and walked out of the palace.
Xiao Yuehua gestured to the carriage beside her and said to Li Dan with a smile: "Look, we are sitting on the horse's back, which is higher than my brother and senior brothers' carriages."
Li Xian also waited for Wang Ping'an's answer with curiosity.
Inside the carriage, Li Xian asked Wang Pingan, "What are the second and third brothers like?"
Wang Ping'an, Li Xian and Li Xian smiled and said nothing, while Li Dan said honestly, "But just now I saw Mr. Chen bring a lot of these big horses to the Forbidden Garden."
Li Dan looked a little shy, "I'm a little scared. This horse is really too big. I've never seen one before."
"Then you can come to me and I'll take you on a big horse ride."
“I see.”
Later, because he was well-educated and a good person, he was selected by the Yunting Bureau and sent to Yuzhou to study under a teacher. However, after a few years, some problems seemed to arise in the Yunting Bureau, so the second senior brother and the others were transferred back.
Li Dan nodded vigorously and said excitedly, "It's very satisfying to see from a higher perspective."
"Hurry, hurry."
Li Xian pondered for a moment and said, "I have heard something about Second Senior Brother. I heard that Second Senior Brother's parents died early, and his family property was taken over by his uncles. He was sent to the palace to be a eunuch when he was young.
Li Xian and Li Xian also wanted to go and see those world-famous senior brothers and sisters, so they nodded in agreement.
Li Dan was somewhat tempted but also a little scared. He looked back at Wang Ping'an and his two brothers.
Second Senior Brother was also very kind to Xiao Yuehua and me, but in my memory, I was a little afraid of him, as if many people were a little afraid of him. As for why, I can't remember. When he left Yuzhou, I was still very young. "
Wu Zetian nodded in agreement and said, "That's true. Even if the six clan leaders received Wang Zheng's invitation to the family dinner, they would probably be ecstatic."
Xiao Yuehua yelled twice, then said to Li Xian and the others, "Let's go back. There are a lot of delicious food in my yard. I ate a lot just now, and now I can go back and eat some more."
Li Xian smiled and said, "You can ride it if you want. This horse may look big, but it is actually very docile."
"Then take a look more often. You can also ride the horse more often in the future."
Although he did not stop studying, he was not with his teacher after all, so he was somewhat resentful. In addition, due to his childhood experience, he was rather cold and ruthless.
"He's so powerful, why haven't I met Second Brother?" Li Xian was surprised.
Li Xian nodded, "This is called being honest."
Xiao Yuehua said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of? The Queen has already said that horses are for people to ride. If they dare not obey, they will be killed and eaten. Look, I am riding well, right? Li Dan, do you want to ride? I can take you and let you sit in front of me. With me protecting you, you won't be afraid. Riding a big horse is very enjoyable. You can see farther."
I heard that the second senior brother is extremely talented and was highly regarded by the master back then. If he had continued to stay in Yuzhou, he could have succeeded the eldest senior brother and become the master's direct disciple, but he was transferred back.
Li Xian smiled and said, "Second Senior Brother rarely leaves the Ye Ting Bureau. I just happened to see him once. It was because of that time that I specifically asked someone about Second Senior Brother.
Hehe, but it took me a lot of effort to find out these things. Many people in the palace don’t even dare to mention anything about Second Brother.
If you don't believe me, just ask any old man who has been in the palace for more than five years. I guarantee they won't dare to say anything bad about Second Brother. If you tell them the name clearly, they might even show expressions of horror. "
Li Xian was silent, his expression becoming thoughtful.
Wang Pingan looked at Li Xian and said with a smile, "I think Second Senior Brother is pretty good. At least the people in Yuzhou have a good opinion of him. Even if Second Senior Brother is a little withdrawn, it's understandable."
