Empress Reborn

"Aniang." When Li Lingyue passed by, there were only Empress Wu and Ming Chongyan in the hall.She nodded to Ming Chongyan again and said: "Minggong."

Ming Chongyan returned the salute, "Princess.

"Taiping, sit down." Li Lingyue sat down in response, and then listened to Empress Wu said: "You also went to climb the mountain today, what did you count?"

Li Lingyue guessed that Empress Wu should have discussed this issue with Ming Chongyan, and she asked her this question, and she wanted to test her. What, but there is a saying that secrets should not be leaked, Minggong should have a deep understanding of this, right?" After speaking, she put her eyes on Ming Chongyan again, and smiled playfully with her eyes bent.

Although her smile is cute, in Ming Chongyan's eyes, she feels a faint threat. He is a sensible person, and he naturally knows what Li Lingyue means. He stroked his beard and smiled, then nodded and said: "Yes, the secrets are unpredictable. It should not be disclosed at will.”

Li Lingyue nodded lightly, then looked at Empress Wu and said: "But for A Niang, and for Aye and Datang, there are some things my daughter can't say, but she must do." Suddenly stood up and bowed to Empress Wu, Li Lingyue begged : "My daughter wants to ask A Niang for permission."

"What's the matter?" Empress Wu lowered her eyes, and a falcon-like look lightly swept over Li Lingyue's face.

Li Lingyue's body was trembling, but she still had a calm and composed look on her face, "My daughter wants to build a charity workshop in Dongdu, and I want to borrow Shangguan Wan'er beside you on the Shangyuan Festival."

Empress Wu frowned, "What do you want Wan'er to do?"

"My daughter is useful." Li Lingyue smiled, then lowered her head, "I also ask for your permission, Aunt."

Empress Wu's eyes lingered on Li Lingyue's body, she did not answer, but turned her head to glance at Ming Chongyan.Ming Chongyan stroked his beard and smiled, still looking like a fairy. Empress Wu frowned slightly, and sighed silently, "Forget it, mother will follow you once. Next month I will be with you Aye will go back to Dongdu together, so you should follow."

"Thank you, Aunt." Li Lingyue responded with a smile, but she still didn't raise her head.

Empress Wu's brows were tight again, and her expression showed an indescribable strangeness, "On the Lantern Festival... I will send a team of Jinwu Guards to protect you. You are all women, so be careful when you travel outside."

Since it's you, not you, Li Lingyue also knows that Empress Wu has agreed, she doesn't care about others watching her, she just said happily: "Yes, thank you for your concern, Auntie, my daughter should remember it."

Wu Hou showed tiredness and waved at her. Li Lingyue knew what her mother wanted to talk to Ming Chongyan about, so she saluted her mother, glanced at Ming Chongyan slightly inadvertently, and then backed out .

Seeing that her daughter had left, Empress Wu asked Ming Chongyan, "Chongyan, you said a few days ago that peace would be beneficial to the great cause, but what did she say to you?"

Ming Chongyan was slightly stunned, and secretly sighed that the mother and daughter were not easy-going lamps, thinking about his still young son, thought for a few times, and shook his head, "When the princess is looking for a courtier, she is just exchanging ideas. According to what I saw, the princess does have some supernatural powers."

Empress Wu gave a soft "hmm" without saying yes or no, but her eyes became more and more distant, "But... I only hope that she will be a carefree princess." The voice was faint, like a whisper.However, Li Lingyue never heard of it, all she thought about was how to take Wan'er to watch the lantern and watch the moon, and get rid of those annoying eyeliners.

The Shangyuan Festival is a rare day in a year when there is no night ban. Early that morning, Li Lingyue went to look for Shangguan Wan'er.

"Wan'er." Wearing a white lapel-collared knee-length jacket and a purple red gown on the outside, Li Lingyue was still wearing a set of men's clothing. Her stature was considered tall among women. She was handsome and elegant, and the servant girls beside Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but blush.

Shangguan Wan'er smiled subtly, and said, "That's right, it's more convenient to wear men's clothes when traveling. Princess, wait for me for a while, and I'll go change."

"Hey." Li Lingyue quickly reached out to stop her, "Wan'er wants to change into men's clothing?"

Shangguan Wan'er nodded.Li Lingyue said again: "That's absolutely unnecessary."

Seeing Wan'er was puzzled, Li Lingyue leaned over to her ear and said softly, "Wan'er, think about it, you and I are going to travel together, if both of us are wearing men's clothes, in the eyes of outsiders What kind of system is that?"

Shangguan Wan'er was dumbfounded, there are too many women in men's clothes in this world, and there must be quite a few of them traveling together, Li Lingyue obviously didn't want her to change.She looked at Li Lingyue, smiled wryly and shook her head.

But Li Lingyue pretended to be serious and said: "In my opinion, Wan'er's body is very good." When she saw that the maid was about to put the veil on Wan'er, she stopped her again, "Let's save the veil. I prepared a car for Wan'er, and there is a curtain on the car."

After finishing speaking, she pulled Wan'er out, and the two got into the car together with the help of the maid.

In the car, Shangguan Wan'er asked her, "Princess, don't you ride a horse?"

Li Lingyue shook her head, "No, we'll take the car today. Build up some energy, and then we can visit the night market and enjoy the lanterns in the evening."

"That's how it is." Shangguan Wan'er nodded.Li Lingyue chuckled, actually it wasn't just like that, besides Shangguan Wan'er, the Su family sisters who wanted to come out to meet the world, and a few servants, she also had a team of Jinwu guards that was given to her by Wu Hou on this trip.With so much eyeliner, if she was riding a horse, she would naturally be unable to do anything. It would be better to choose a carriage and cover it with the curtain. As long as there is not much movement, no one will know what the two of them are doing in the room.

However, Li Lingyue would never say this to Shangguan Wan'er. She leaned lazily on Wan'er as before, and said with a faint smile, "Wan'er, it's been a long time since I left the palace. This time, I'm going to take Wan'er Let’s have a good time. Let’s go to Kaimingfang to see the bamboo forest first. The bamboo forest there is lush and lush. You may be able to recite a poem when you see it. I will write it down on paper and remember more in the future. , so I saved a collection of poems for you."

Li Lingyue was resting on her shoulder, and the fragrance she exhaled penetrated into the tip of her nose, which made Shangguan Wan'er throbbing. She couldn't help but tilt her head, put her side face against Li Lingyue's head, and said: "good."

The corners of Li Lingyue's lips curled slightly, she didn't make any more intimate moves, she just closed her eyes lazily.

After a while, several people arrived at Kaimingfang. Li Lingyue helped Shangguan Wan'er out of the car, and with the support of everyone, they entered the bamboo forest in a mighty manner.

The bamboo forest is quiet, and even though the ground has been covered with frost, it still maintains its emerald green appearance, standing upright against the wind.Shangguan Wan'er looked at it, and indeed she had some inspiration, and she immediately wrote a poem.After hearing this, Li Lingyue clapped her palms to say hello, and immediately ordered someone to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, put down her book in the gazebo, and then took it back to the carriage.

"Wan'er is really talented. You haven't seen Ning'er's admiration, but the look on your face is almost shining. It seems that her sister is a little lonely." Li Lingyue put away the papers and sat down in Shangguan Wan'er. Joking around.

Shangguan Wan'er thought to herself: Your eyes were about to light up at that time.She lowered her eyes and smiled, but didn't make a sound.

Li Lingyue looked at her, and said something about the next arrangement, "It's almost noon, we'll go to Dongshi Xunjia Tavern for lunch first, and then we'll hang out there, and then——by the way, Wan'er, how about you?" Haven’t heard of storytelling, have you? In the past few days, the temple is probably holding a lecture, we can go and have a look. Wan’er, what do you think?”

According to Shangguan Wan'er, it doesn't matter where she goes, the important thing is that Li Lingyue can stay by her side.Pursing her lips and smiling lightly, Shangguan Wan'er said, "Okay."
