Empress Reborn

"Princess Wan'an, the Queen of Heaven ordered me to take you back."

Li Lingyue glanced at the luxurious horse behind the visitor, frowned and ordered: "Take this Zhu Litong's car back, and change to a plain one to carry your luggage, and I will ride back on horseback."

The guards were taken aback, they didn't expect Princess Taiping, who usually pays attention to ostentation, to change her temper, but seeing the princess's uneasy expression, they agreed one after another.

Li Lingyue waved her hand, signaling to the others to set things up first, she turned around, and said to Su Muzhen, "Go and pack your luggage, we are going to see Ning'er's wife."

It was the first time for Su Muzhen to see the princess smiling like this, the corners of her lips were slightly curved, and there was anticipation hidden in the joy.She nodded in obedience, the deep fear of the high court in her heart was dispelled by her sister's joy of getting a good teacher, and she went to look for her sister with a faint smile.

After several people packed up, Li Lingyue led them back to the palace.When she reached the gate of Wangxian, Li Lingyue couldn't help raising her neck and looking inside. She remembered that at this time in her last life, it was Wan'er who led her mother to pick her up.Counting the days, it has been nearly a year since the last farewell, Li Lingyue was a little overjoyed at the thought of seeing that lovely woman soon.Disregarding the image of the royal princess, she shouted out when she saw the back of the woman with the double-ringed bun, "Wan'er!"

The woman turned around when she heard the sound, bowed her knees to Li Lingyue and said, "Your servant has seen the princess."

The pupils are slender and the tails of the eyes are slightly turned up. Just lowering the head and smiling, there is a hint of charm.How can a woman who is so charming from the bottom of her heart be her beloved Wan'er?Li Lingyue hummed lightly, she knew the woman in front of her, and this woman was Wei Tuan'er, the celebrity in front of her mother.Although she was just an ordinary palace maid, she was young and beautiful, unwilling to be a slave, and wanted to be her sister-in-law. After being rejected by the starling Li Dan, she held a grudge and used dirty tricks to kill her two sisters. sister-in-law.

Li Lingyue didn't like such a vicious and incompetent woman, so she was very indifferent to her, no matter how courteous she was, she would just treat her lightly.Wei Tuan'er was jealous, and relying on Empress Wu's favor, he was so inflated that he didn't even look down on the princess. In front of everyone, he dared to sneer at Li Lingyue: "Princess don't want to look for sister Wan, sister Wan! A few days ago, I was made a talented person by the sage, and I am afraid that I am serving the second sage at this time, so I have no time to pick you up."

Li Lingyue's eyes narrowed. Of course she knew that Wan'er had been her concubine, but it was her mother's expedient measure to keep Wan'er in the palace. At this time, her father was old and sick. , have no intention at all*.What's more, even if he wanted to, her mother would not agree.Therefore, she doesn't care about Wan'er's talent status at all, but she cares about Wei Tuan'er's ridicule, which is not only for her, but also for her Wan'er.

The corners of her lips curled slightly, and Li Lingyue smiled enchantingly, "Wan'er has been named a talented person, and Tuan'er, you have also been named a talented person?"

Seeing that Li Lingyue's attitude was getting better, Wei Tuan'er was actually a little satisfied, and replied without thinking: "Your maidservant is not as lucky as Sister Wan."

Li Lingyue could hear the jealousy in her words, and smiled softly, "In this way, you are still a female envoy. I remember that talented people are at the fifth rank, and the highest rank of female envoys is only at the sixth rank. There are rules in the palace, and the rank is low." Don't talk nonsense about your superiors. Could it be that the rules have changed after I've been away for only a year?"

"No. Princess..." Wei Tuan'er is not too stupid, it's just that she has been domineering by relying on Empress Wu's favor these years, seeing that Li Lingyue doesn't support her like other royal relatives, she can't help but panic, she Just about to open his mouth to defend, but was stopped by Li Lingyue's words.

"Since it hasn't changed, it's easy to handle. Wei Tuan'er, you are a slave, but you are chewing the tongue of your talented master, what should you do?" His voice cooled down, and Li Lingyue stared at Wei Tuan'er with a serious expression.

Wei Tuan'er only felt that the man's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. Just looking at each other made her hold back the grievance in her heart, and she fell to the ground in panic, "Princess, princess, forgive me. I know my mistake."

"Know it's wrong?" Li Lingyue lowered her eyes and glanced at her.

Wei Tuan'er nodded, looked at Li Lingyue with her best soft look and said, "Yes, I know I was wrong."

"En." Li Lingyue raised the corners of her lips, and she glanced at the guards beside her, "If that's the case, let's punish according to the rules." After she finished speaking, she led everyone away.

Going back to Fengyang Pavilion to arrange two rooms for the Su family sisters, Li Lingyue sent the two of them back to rest, while she herself called the maid Linglong to inquire about the affairs of the palace this year.

"What happened during my absence?" Leaning on the couch, Li Lingyue's eyes were slightly closed, and she asked while being served by the maidservant.

Linglong was the one who stayed in the palace on purpose. Before she left, she also told him to pay more attention to various matters in the palace. At this time, when the master asked, she explained some trivial things in the palace in detail, and then chose A few key points said: "The Second Sage lived in Dongdu for a few months before, and the slaves don't know about Dongdu. Everything here in Chang'an is fine, but there are rumors in the palace..."

"say what?"

Linglong raised her head and glanced at the princess cautiously, "It is said that His Royal Highness...is not from the Queen of Heaven, but your mother is your aunt Mrs. Zheng Guo."

She thought that the princess would be angry after hearing this, so she purposely rested her leg-thumping hand and waited to apologize, but Her Royal Highness didn't even open her eyes, and just murmured, "What else?"

Linglong was startled, then she started to serve again, and continued: "Shangguan seems to be very favored by the Empress Dowager, not long after returning from you, she was granted the position of talent."

Hearing the name of the woman she was thinking about, Li Lingyue slowly opened her eyes, she looked down at Linglong, her eyes were softer than usual, "Is she doing well in the palace?"

Linglong was taken aback again, it was the first time she saw the princess's expression, she looked like those girls who talked about their lovers, but her princess was talking about a maid who had just been named a talented person.She calmed down, Linglong waved her wild thoughts, and replied respectfully: "I have chatted with Shangguan Cairen a few times, and Shangguan Cairen looks good, but his face will show a trace of sadness from time to time. I think she should be I don’t have to worry about food and clothing, but I feel a little depressed.”

"Wan'er..." Li Lingyue sighed softly, and when she noticed Linglong's eyes were a bit suspicious, she changed the subject and asked, "Have you met Wan'er?"

"Yes." Linglong nodded, "Shangguan talents will come to Fengyang Pavilion when they have free time, and this servant and servant are honored to have a few words with her."

The corners of Li Lingyue's lips curled up, she thought: Wan'er will come to her attic when she has free time, to prove that after parting, she still misses her a little bit.This made her very gratified, if Wan'er fell in love with her now, it would be earlier than in her previous life.

"You go down, I'll take a rest, wake me up when it's time, and I have to go to Auntie's banquet." Waving his hand and retreating the servants, Li Lingyue closed his eyes, with a smile still spreading from the corner of his mouth.Don't worry, Wan'er, Ah Yue is back.

At Maoshi, Li Lingyue deliberately dressed up, combed her hair in a bun, put on a suet white jade cloud head hairpin, and wore a begonia red long skirt, and gracefully went to the palace of Empress Wu.

"My daughter has met the Second Saint, and the Second Saint Wan'an." After bowing her head, Li Lingyue looked around the room, and gradually the smile on her mouth froze. The room was full of gauze and long skirts, but no one was her superior. Waner.

Li Lingyue felt a little surprised, the joy in her heart dissipated, replaced by depression and vigilance.Wan'er was not present at her comeback banquet, what's going on?
