Empress Reborn

Empress Wu was a little worried that her daughter chose a man she didn't value very much as her son-in-law. After the banquet was over, she paced around the courtyard thinking.Among the several children, she loves Li Lingyue the most. She thinks that Li Lingyue is the most like her. She doesn't like red clothes and prefers armed forces.She thought that Li Lingyue would like the heroic young gentleman, but instead of thinking about it, she chose a timid little boy.She suddenly remembered that when she was Li Shimin's talent, she also purposely got close to the young and ignorant prince, hoping that after Emperor Taizong's death, the unfavored self could escape the sad fate of spending the rest of her life in Ganye Temple.Could it be that--

She suddenly saw a green horse standing beside the lake with the lonely moon hanging upside down, and there were two women cuddling up immediately. She saw that the figure should be Li Lingyue who had just retired from the table due to illness, and Shangguan Wan'er who was supposed to be resting in the courtyard.She just chose a son-in-law, and now she is going to bet with Wan'er, this girl is really not awake yet!Empress Wu frowned. She didn't care whether her daughter obeyed women's morals, but she cared whether her daughter obeyed her.She can't let go of her power, and she is destined to lose Li Zhi in this life. Li Zhi's body is already dying, and what he wants to see most now is the scene of his daughter getting married in a red dress. This request is not too demanding. She has to help herself Fulang completes the prayer.

"Taiping——" Empress Wu called her daughter's title, her voice was not loud, but it was unusually abrupt in this quiet night.After Li Lingyue heard this, she immediately turned her head. Empress Wu was separated from her by a small garden. She couldn't see Empress Wu's expression clearly, but with this title, she also knew that Empress Wu was displeased. Was she dissatisfied with her being alone with Wan'er late at night? ?Worried that she will ruin the marriage that she is ashamed of the man she most wants to see?

Li Lingyue smiled to herself, and looked sideways at Shangguan Wan'er, but she saw a hint of panic on her face, her slender hands gently held jade-like fingers, Li Lingyue pressed her face, and softly comforted her: "Wan'er Son, don't be afraid, everything will be fine." After saying that, she dismounted first.

Shangguan Wan'er nodded lightly, and jumped down with Li Lingyue's support.The two walked towards Empress Wu together, Li Lingyue held Shangguan Wan'er's hand, and Shangguan Wan'er held Li Lingyue's heart.

"Auntie."

"The queen."

Near Empress Wu, the two stopped, reluctantly let go of their hands, and lowered their bodies to salute.

Empress Wu looked at these two well-behaved little girls who were full of ghosts, wondering in her heart, suddenly, she smiled softly and said: "It's windy at night, why did you two go to the lake, be careful if you catch the wind and cold again."

There was something in the words, and Li Lingyue heard the meaning, which was to remind her that the trick of pretending to be sick was no longer effective.She took the opportunity to glance at Empress Wu. Empress Wu didn't look angry, but she couldn't see joy either.Li Lingyue lowered her eyes, and replied respectfully before Shangguan Wan'er: "My daughter saw the quiet scenery over there, so she took Wan'er to have some private conversations. Don't worry, my daughter has been learning to ride and shoot these days, and her body is relatively weak. It was much tougher before."

When Empress Wu saw that she was interested, she didn't feel too embarrassed, she just nodded and said: "Your body is fine, so mother can feel at ease."

Li Lingyue was obedient and smiled flatteringly, "My daughter knows that mother cares about her. It's windy at night, so you should go back earlier, so my daughter and Wan'er will leave first."

The marriage has not been clearly explained to Wan'er, Li Lingyue does not want to give up this opportunity.If I go today, maybe Li Zhi will start to give her a funeral ceremony tomorrow.If Wan'er didn't know the reason and thought she had changed her mind, how heartbroken it would be!

Empress Wu didn't know her worries, she only thought that she wanted to be alone with Wan'er again, and she had the idea of ​​warning her, so naturally she wouldn't let her wish this time.

"Wan'er is on the same journey with mother, so I won't send you off." Empress Wu looked at her daughter with concern and said, "You are wearing thin clothes, go back earlier."

Li Lingyue was unwilling, and her hands hidden in her sleeves were tightly packed. She hesitated for a while, but finally decided to put the overall situation first and not to disobey Empress Wu for the time being.

"Yes, my daughter will leave." Li Lingyue bowed her head respectfully, got on her horse and walked towards the bedroom.The horse's hooves slammed on the stone pavement, and after walking a few steps, she suddenly slowed down and turned her head secretly.That beautiful figure had long been covered by many attendants, she looked back at the crowd, and quietly hid thousands of words in her eyes.

■

Knowing that his beloved daughter has chosen a good son-in-law, Li Zhi is very happy, even though the son-in-law's surname is Wu and has no achievements, he agrees.The next day, he ordered Si Tiantai to choose a good day to give his youngest daughter a wedding ceremony.

There were many women in the harem, and the news that Princess Taiping was about to marry soon spread throughout the palace.Some people with status in the palace would flatter and congratulate Li Lingyue when they had time to see Li Lingyue.Li Lingyue nodded lightly, she didn't show joy or sorrow on her face, but her heart was in a mess.The news got out before she was going to tell Wan'er. That girl always likes to think too much, and she doesn't talk about her troubles. Will she hide somewhere and secretly feel sad now?

She wanted to take a closer look in person, but hearing that Shangguan Wan'er had been handling political affairs by Empress Wu's side all along, and the timing was not right, she couldn't help but feel a little dark.Could it be that A Niang didn't want Wan'er to see her, and wanted a gap between them?

If so, then she would not allow A Niang to fulfill her wish!Li Lingyue's eyes dimmed, and she thought about it, if Wan'er taught Su Muning in the future, she would go to find Wan'er openly because of Ning'er's incompetence in homework.

Fortunately, when Su Muning was in class, Shangguan Wan'er came, and the scene of tit-for-tat between mother and daughter was temporarily suppressed.Li Lingyue had been waiting in the study room, when she saw Wan'er coming, she hurriedly greeted her, and gave Su Muzhen a look.Su Muzhen was sensible, she led her younger sister and backed out.

Li Lingyue held Wan'er's catkin and looked up and down. Wan'er's eyes were still bright, without a trace of redness and swelling. She had obviously never cried. Seeing that she cared about her so much, she laughed and teased, "What's the matter? I'll give it to you." Ning'er was teaching, but you threw her out, could it be that you also have a difficult problem and asked to teach me?"

The corners of her lips were slightly raised, with traces of a smile on her face. She looked exactly the same as usual. Others probably wouldn't be able to sense Shangguan Wan'er's thoughts, but Li Lingyue had known her for two lifetimes. She knew very well that Wan'er's thoughts were hidden very well. Shen, even though she was laughing at this moment, I was afraid that I wished for her to explain things clearly.

Li Lingyue nodded, with a slight smile on his face, and replied sincerely: "Yes, Ah Yue has something to teach Mr. Shangguan."

"Tell me." The smile on Shangguan Wan'er's face remained unchanged.

"There was a young daughter of a big family who fell in love with a lady who was as talented as a man. The youngest daughter wanted to be with the lady and be a couple for the rest of her life. However, the youngest daughter's father hoped that her daughter would get married. The youngest daughter's mother At first she let go, but seeing her husband getting sicker and sicker, she changed her mind. She put pressure on her younger daughter to get married. The mother asked her, and the younger daughter's pleadings were fruitless, so she had no choice but to agree. But fortunately The mother gave her daughter a promise to let her choose a husband by herself. The daughter got this opportunity, so she chose a man with a good personality, and planned to let him out in the future. The younger daughter felt that she had offended the lady husband, so I'm sorry, she I don't know what to do." Li Lingyue frowned, her eyes pleaded, and asked, "Wan'er, what do you think the little girl should do?"

Shangguan Wan'er was stunned for a moment, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly held Li Lingyue's hand, and said softly: "It is not good to disobey the orders of parents, not to mention that the youngest daughter represents more than just me. Explain the matter clearly, and the lady will understand clearly. Yes. It is not a trivial matter for a young lady in a big family to get married. The youngest daughter should consider all aspects of face and get married with peace of mind. As for the female husband..."

Seeing Li Lingyue listening intently, Shangguan Wan'er suddenly stopped talking, and said with a coquettish smile: "You only ask my little daughter what to do, I have already told you. Hurry up and call Ning'er, I will give her Lecture, yesterday's topic was difficult, I think she should have a lot of questions to ask me."

Li Lingyue responded, although she was reluctant, she still withdrew.She knew Shangguan Wan'er's temperament, if she didn't speak up, there must be a reason for not speaking up, and she would be blamed.The moment she stepped out of the study, she even regretted that decision. She wanted to keep Wan'er by her side, even if she was just an ordinary envoy.But after thinking about it, she quickly realized that she couldn't do this.

If Wan'er is just an envoy of the princess' mansion, she will definitely not be on the throne of God. As a princess, she does not have the right to choose a daughter-in-law, and her Wan'er will only be an underground couple with her that will never be seen well.She is a princess with a noble status and no one dares to say anything, but Wan'er is different as a female envoy, she must not be like this.If Wan'er stays in the palace, even though Empress Wu will be suspicious and alienated now, she will definitely become Empress Wu's confidant in the long run.In this way, she has more hope of becoming the emperor, and it is more likely to change the people's minds and let Wan'er marry herself in a fair manner.

Still have to endure.Wan'er, wait for me.Sighing silently, Li Lingyue stepped out of the threshold and left with a heart full of regret.
