The two of them traveled through the Tang Dynasty to open a supermarket, and the little Sizi was sup

Chapter 105 Li Li questions life expectancy!

"What about grandpa? He won't be the same as mom, right?" Li Lizhi clenched her fists nervously.

"Your Majesty, not really. Your Majesty seems to be over fifty."

Li Lizhi felt a little relieved. In the Tang Dynasty, people over fifty were considered to be old.

Not everyone can be like Li Yuan.

"Young Master, where are we, Sizi?" Li Lizhi then asked her sisters.

"The information we found is very limited. I don't know the specific condition of your illness. All I know is that you, Changle, died of a disease caused by Qi in the 17th year of the Zhenguan era."

"Ah? The twenty-three of the seventeenth year of Zhenguan!"

Li Lizhi's fingertips suddenly tightened and her face turned pale. The number of the seventeenth year of Zhenguan was like a poisoned knife, stirring up thousands of waves in her eyes.

"The seventeenth year of Zhenguan" she repeated unconsciously, her voice as light as a moth floating in a candle flame.

Li Lizhi knew that what Xiao Ran said was true and Xiao Ran would not say anything nonsense.

Knowing my life span, I feel complicated and uncomfortable.

"Changle, don't think too much. That was before. Respiratory disease is indeed difficult to cure. It's different now!" Xiao Ran hurriedly comforted Li Lizhi.

Li Lizhi's expression softened a bit. "Young Master, you're absolutely right. My life is short, perhaps because I'm unlucky. I can't blame anyone for this; it's all my fate."

Li Lizhi took a deep breath, worry still hidden in her eyes. She looked at Xiao Ran and asked, "Young Master, what about Sizi? She has had a connection with Buddhism since she was young. She has a kind heart and an intoxicating spiritual energy. She should have lived a happy life. She wouldn't be like my mother and me, being teased by fate so early on, right?"

His words were full of love and worry for his sister, and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if trying to grasp the last glimmer of hope from Xiao Ran's answer.

Now Xiao Ran didn't know what to say.

Empress Zhangsun was at least the mother of the country and had seven children. Li Lizhi was at least married and had grown up. The little princess really made Xiao Ran uncomfortable.
"Sizi indeed lived a happy life."

"I was born into a noble family and was loved by my parents, brothers, and sisters since I was young. I grew up in the spotlight and love of everyone."

"What is rare and precious is that Sizi did not become arrogant because of these favors. The historical records say that Sizi was good at Feibai style calligraphy, and when compared with your Majesty, they are indistinguishable."

"The history books also say that Sizi has the shadow of Wende. Her Royal Highness the Queen's posthumous title is Wende." Xiao Ran added.

Saying that she resembles Empress Changsun is a very high compliment.

"This little girl!" Hearing the little princess say this, Li Lizhi was happy from the bottom of her heart.

"Wen De. This posthumous title." Li Lizhi felt very complicated and couldn't imagine how sad her grandfather must be.

From this posthumous title, one can feel Li Shimin's love for him.

The posthumous title system had a unique trajectory before the Tang Dynasty.

Empress Xu Pingjun of Emperor Xuan of Han Dynasty was the first to set the precedent of giving empresses independent posthumous titles. By the time of Empress Dou, Taimu of Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, the ancient custom of "single posthumous title as the main one and secondary posthumous titles as the auxiliary one" was still followed.

When Li Yuan ascended the throne, he posthumously named his first wife "Empress Mu". After her death, he added the character "Tai" to her posthumous title according to the rules, making her "Tai Mu".

This combination of "original posthumous title + subsequent posthumous title" is exactly like the trajectory of women's dependence in the patriarchal ritual system.

However, in the tenth year of Zhenguan, Empress Zhangsun died of illness in Lizheng Hall, breaking the posthumous title tradition that had lasted for more than 800 years.

On the day after Empress Changsun passed away, Li Shimin personally wrote an edict in which he clearly wrote the two words "Wen De" as her posthumous title.

This form of multiple posthumous titles was a special case in the Tang Dynasty. Before that, only Liu Gan, who died bravely for his country during the Wude period, was specially granted the double posthumous title of "Zhong Zhuang" by Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan. The rest of the civil and military officials followed the old system of single posthumous title.

The Tang people regarded "Wen" as the most honorable and beautiful posthumous title, saying that "there is no beauty higher than this."

Li Shimin matched "culture" with "virtue", not just a simple addition, but placed his wife in a lofty position beyond the norms of etiquette and law.

The Tang Hui Yao states: "Wen De means that one's virtue is in harmony with heaven and earth, and his way helps all living beings."

This unconventional posthumous title arrangement is just as what Empress Changsun wrote in "Rules for Women": "To serve the ancestral temple and to continue the future generations." "Wen De" is not only the best summary of Empress Changsun's life, but also carries the emperor's remembrance of his virtuous empress.

Empress Changsun is indeed worthy of this posthumous title.

Xiao Ran didn't quite understand these things and didn't understand the significance of the posthumous title "Wen De" in the Tang Dynasty.

But Li Lizhi knew. As for the fact that the little princess died at the age of twelve, Xiao Ran did not say anything.

Li Lizhi would definitely feel bad if she knew this.

This time it should be different, so there is no need to say more.

Xiao Ruoying treated a few people to milk tea.

The two little princesses each held a cup of mango sago, looking very happy.

There are also those of Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi.

"Sister Piaoniang~ Where is the little sac~" the little princess asked.

"Yes, let's send it to my sister and the others!" Xiao Ruoying pulled the little princess.

"Hmmmm~"

Xiao Ruoying took the little princess to where Xiao Ran lived.

"Knock, knock, knock," Xiao Ruoying knocked on the door, "Brother, Changle, I'm coming in!"

After saying that, Xiao Ruoying took the little princess into the living room.

Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi on the sofa also stopped talking.

"Little Nangjun~Sister~It's time to have some milk tea~" the little princess shouted.

"Changle, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Ruoying noticed that Li Lizhi's eyes were red.

Li Lizhi shook her head. "It's okay. I'm fine."

The little princess ran to Li Lizhi and looked at her straight in the eye. "Why are your eyes so red?"

"I accidentally put something in my eyes just now." Li Lizhi made a perfunctory excuse.

“It’s very uncomfortable whether I tie it or not~”

"It's okay now." Li Lizhi gently rubbed the little princess's head.

Li Lizhi thought to herself that in ten years, her younger sister had grown up.

In fact, according to normal historical development, the little princess walked ahead of Li Lizhi.

"Have a drink, sister. It's sweet and delicious." The little princess handed her milk tea to Li Lizhi.

"Okay!" Li Lizhi drank a little.

Don't reject the little princess's kindness, at least you have to express it.

After Li Lizhi finished drinking, the little princess passed it to Xiao Ran, "Little Junni, drink too~"

Now Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi were both a little embarrassed.

After all, this is a straw!
It was okay for the little princess and Li Lizhi to drink, but it was a bit unreasonable for Xiao Ran to drink.

"Sizi, we have drunk this before, how can we give it to the young master?" Li Lizhi said with a smile.

The little princess didn't quite understand and didn't understand why it wasn't allowed.

The little princess thought that her things could be tasted by her mother, grandfather, brothers and sisters.

In the little princess's heart, Xiao Ran is the same as her family.

"It's fine for Sizi to drink it, but the young master doesn't like to drink." Xiao Ruoying also said hurriedly.

"Really~" The little princess set her eyes on Xiao Ran's cup.

How could the little princess ever get enough of milk tea?
Can’t drink enough!
I can’t drink enough!
"You little girl." Li Lizhi knew what her sister was thinking.
