Empress Reborn

In midsummer and July, the scorching sun burns the whole land like fire.In the Nanshan temple, the bells and pots are melodious, and the monks sing scriptures continuously.Li Lingyue stood under the tree and listened quietly for a while, when suddenly he saw a guard rushing over, knelt down and said, "Princess Qi, Zhai Family 1 launched a rebellion in Xijing, left and right General Habayashi, Xiao, Dou and others." Both Xianggong 2 have been punished for treason."

The hasty and cruel words broke the tranquility in her heart, Li Lingyue's lips hooked weakly, she looked up at the rich palace, and sighed softly: "Get me a horse, I'm going down the mountain. "

"Princess?" The guards and maidservants standing around seemed to be in disbelief, and knelt down to dissuade them, "Princess, think twice!"

Li Lingyue lowered her eyes and glanced at them, how could she not know that she would not come back after this trip, but since Li Yanu has achieved this, what is the use of her staying here?The power in the court has been lost, even if he is alive, he can only live cautiously like an ant.Instead of that, she might as well die bravely like a warrior!

"Go, bring the horses. If you want to leave, you should separate." Li Lingyue waved lightly, and Li Lingyue didn't look at those faces that were either pitiful or fearful. She turned around and went straight into an ancestral hall. .

There is only one memorial tablet in the ancestral hall - Shangguan Wan'er.Li Lingyue took the sandalwood from the novice and burned three sticks of incense in the furnace.When the novice retreated, the disguise on her body was also removed. Facing death, no one would not be afraid, but although she was afraid, she still felt more unwilling.

Caressing the cold tablet with light hands, Li Lingyue's cold and hard face gradually softened, she smiled bitterly at the tablet, "Wan'er, you always say that I am cruel, but I don't think that Saburo is more cruel than me. Don't let women subvert their male power again, he killed you in disregard of my warning, and now even my aunt who watched him grow up will not let go."

"Wan'er, I'm not reconciled. If I hadn't contributed money and effort to defeat Empress Wei, how could their father and son be where they are now? Now they have just secured the throne, and they turned their faces and refused to recognize anyone. Rebellion? How ridiculous? I am Li Lingyue If he really wants to turn against him, Li Yanu 4 can still have today?!" She cursed twice without concealment, then closed her eyes and sighed, "Forget it, this time it was indeed a mistake on my part, a woman's kindness. Pity my children, and your poetry collection. Wan'er, I will apologize to you after I go down."

She glanced at the tablet softly and nostalgicly, then sighed silently, and stepped out like a strong man.

In the second year of Xiantian, Princess Taiping Li Lingyue received a death edict in the mansion and hanged herself.According to the supervisor at the time, the princess did not show any fear until she died.

There was a slight stabbing pain in her head, Li Lingyue gently opened her eyes, and what she saw was a familiar scene.A sachet is hung on the top of the bed curtain belt, and the house is elegantly arranged, and there are two running-in Luo dolls on the dressing table not far away.

Li Lingyue frowned slightly, she stretched out her hand to caress her neck, the neck was smooth, without a trace of strangulation, besides, it was much more tender than before.This was really weird, she couldn't help getting out of bed quickly, and sat in front of the mirror to take a picture.

A pretty face appeared in the bronze mirror, the woman was her but not her.Li Lingyue caressed her cheek, she was dazed for a moment, she was still alive, and she was decades younger, could it be that...

"Princess, are you awake?"

The arrival of the maid broke her panic. Li Lingyue glanced sideways at the maid, but found that the maid was still familiar and immature.That was Linglong, one of her maids in the palace when she was young, and it seemed that she had been reborn in an unimaginable way.

The corner of her mouth was raised inadvertently, and Li Lingyue caressed a run-in Luo doll, and asked casually: "Linglong, what year is it now?"

Linglong's expression was blank for a moment, but she quickly replied respectfully: "Princess, it is the second year of Yifeng."

"Yeah." Li Lingyue lowered her head, looking at the doll, she couldn't help but soften her expression: Yifeng's second year, that's the year she met Wan'er.Although he is one year older than himself, he is such a thin and slender person.I wonder how she is doing now?

"Linglong, is there anything interesting going on in the Literature Museum recently?" Li Lingyue asked.

Linglong only felt that today's princess is very majestic. Although she didn't wear makeup, she was more dare not slack off than in the past. She hurriedly thought about it and replied: "It's nothing interesting, but there is a little palace lady who made a few songs. The poem was greatly praised by several gentlemen."

"Oh? Who is this person?" Li Lingyue asked with interest.

"Shangguan Wan'er."

Although she already knew the answer, Li Lingyue still felt very pleased when Linglong said it herself, and the smile on her lips became even heavier, "Shangguan Wan'er, that's a good name. Linglong, prepare the horse, I'm going to meet her for a while .”

"Princess," Linglong said worriedly, thinking of the princess who accidentally fell off the horse a few days ago, and Empress Wu's entrustment before she left, "Empress Wu entrusted..."

Youyou gave her a look, Linglong immediately fell silent, obediently said "yes" and backed out.Until she moved the horse outside the door, and watched the princess wearing a man's head and wearing men's clothing ride away, she was still stunned: It was only after one night, how could the princess change her appearance?That kind of demeanor is nothing more than that even today.

Walking to the Inner Literature Museum, Li Lingyue handed over the horse to the guards, and walked in alone.

There were nearly a hundred women in the hall, and even so, Li Lingyue recognized Shangguan Wan'er at a glance.The young girl's literati demeanor from the bottom of her bones stands above everyone else and is particularly conspicuous.Li Lingyue exchanged glances with the eunuch who was teaching, then shook the folding fan in her hand, and tiptoed over.

Holding the fragrant ink, Shangguan Wan'er is composing poems at this time, and Wan'er who is immersed in creation is the most lovely.Looking at this slender and beautiful back, Li Lingyue couldn't help but feel a feeling of lost and found again. She suppressed the surge in her heart and stood quietly aside.Seeing Shangguan Wan'er deliberating about writing, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.When the poem was finished, she lowered her body slightly and pretended to recite: "Your strength is like a pair of friends, and your heart is like a stinky orchid."

Shangguan Wan'er turned her head sideways when she heard the sound, and suddenly saw a handsome "son" dressed as a teenager, she couldn't help being a little frightened.

Seeing her cute appearance like a frightened deer, Li Lingyue felt teasing for a moment. She leaned over and glanced at the woman, and said with a smile, "Poetry is good poetry." Then she picked up the woman's chin with a folding fan, and said frivolously, "This is a good poem." He is also a beautiful person."

It was the first time that Wan'er, who had been in the deep palace for a long time, was treated like this. She glanced at this prodigal son, feeling a little unhappy in her heart, but facing that noble and beautiful smiling face, she felt angry for some reason. not come out.With a faint smile, she pushed away the folding fan on her chin, Shangguan Wan'er smiled subtly, and said, "Your honor is absurd."

Li Lingyue didn't expect her to have such an attitude, how could she keep being so frivolous when others were so polite.Grabbing her cheeks with a bit of embarrassment, Li Lingyue took back the folding fan, folded her hands and solemnly apologized to Wan'er, but then passed her hand over, "To express my apology, I wonder if Niangzi 3 would like to go somewhere with me? "

Shangguan Wan'er wanted to refuse, but when she saw that sincere smiling face, the words of refusal were suppressed in her mouth, and her hand was put on it in a mysterious way.She couldn't help being surprised, she just remembered what was said in Nu Ze Zhong that a man and a woman cannot kiss each other, and she panickedly wanted to withdraw her hand.He didn't expect that person to be one step ahead of her, holding her hand tightly, as if afraid of her disappearing.

What a strange man.Shangguan Wan'er smiled helplessly, and walked out of the dark inner literature hall under the envious and jealous eyes of everyone.

The sun was shining outside, just like the smile on the man's face.Shangguan Wan'er looked at this nobleman who hastily jumped on the steed and stretched out his hand to her again, she suddenly felt a little helpless, she had been in Yeting for a long time, as the lowest maid in the palace, she hadn't had the opportunity to learn equestrian skills.

Li Lingyue looked at the girl who was in the same place with a somewhat bewildered behavior, and after a little thought, she figured out the reason.She got off the horse skillfully, walked to Wan'er side, and said softly: "It's okay, I'll teach you. Come, I'll help you up."

Li Lingyue's thoughtfulness made Shangguan Wan'er feel a little flattered, she once again forgot the teaching in "Women's Rules", and let the other party support her up.After she sat down firmly, Li Lingyue also turned over and sat up.

Two jade arms suddenly came out from under her waist, and Shangguan Wan'er, who was not used to being so intimate with people, blushed suddenly.Li Lingyue admired the blush, and couldn't help but leaned forward. She leaned into Wan'er's ear and said, "Now, let's feel it first."

Clamping on the horse's belly, Li Lingyue suddenly rode the horse and galloped.The horse was bumping, and Shangguan Wan'er felt that she was getting closer and closer to the body behind her, and her cheeks became more flushed, but just between the sticking and snuggling, she gradually understood one thing.How can there be such a gentle gentleman as her predecessor, the person behind her is clearly a little lady in men's clothing.It's only because she lived in Yeting for a long time, she didn't see much of the world, so she thought that only men would wear men's clothing, so she was not regarded as a man and a woman who could not accept each other before.

Shangguan Wan'er smiled bitterly, but Li Lingyue behind her was still enjoying herself very much, while taking her around to play, while explaining the scenery to her and telling her the interesting things that happened here.

After a while, the two dismounted in a garden.The flowers in the garden are blooming everywhere, colorful.Shangguan Wan'er looked at the beautiful scene outside the courtyard, and the obsession to go out became deeper and deeper in her heart.She glanced at Li Lingyue's scarlet round-neck gown, and then at her own old dark brown clothes, the look in her eyes gradually became complicated.

Such a change could not escape Li Lingyue's eyes. She lowered herself and folded a peony. She smiled and helped Wan'er put the hairpin on it, "Humanistic peonies are the most rich and noble, and in my opinion they are the most called ladies. A lady has this talent, and she will be determined in the future." You can do a lot." She patted Wan'er's thin arms, and said with a light smile, "It's just that this body is too delicate, so you should eat more."

With such praise and frivolous words again, Shangguan Wan'er was confused by her, and the slight sense of loss gradually disappeared.She glanced at the man's bright smiling face, nodded, and smiled slightly.

That smile made Li Lingyue's heart drunk.She suddenly recalled that in her previous life, Wan'er smiled like this the last time she met her. Wan'er said: "Ah Yue, when this matter subsides, we will find a secluded place and don't bother with the affairs of the court anymore. Sanlang He is young and energetic, and he will surely set fire to us in the future."

At that time, she still promised with a smile, saying that Saburo was her favorite, and she would never do this.Unexpectedly, both of them died in his hands in the end.

How ridiculous!But since God let her start again, then she must live up to this life.Looking at that delicate face, Li Lingyue secretly swore in her heart: Wan'er, this time I will definitely protect you for the rest of my life!

Li Yanu, who will win the battle in this world, let's start over.
