Empress Reborn

A few days later, good news came from the palace that the Crown Princess Wei Shi was pregnant.Empress Wu took this opportunity to recall Li Lingyue and his wife to the palace, and the family celebrated together.

Li Lingyue and Wu Youji met together, in front of Empress Wu, Li Lingyue was more intimate with Wu Youji than before, she yelled at each other, and the smile on her face grew a lot.

Seeing that the young couple got along well, Empress Wu gradually let go of her worries. She called her daughter over, held her daughter's hair in a bun and smiled and said, "My son looks good. It seems that the son-in-law has not treated you badly."

Wu You was startled, hurriedly bowed and said, not daring.Li Lingyue smiled inwardly, but she defended Wu Youji in her demeanor, leaning against her mother's arms, she pretended to be unprepared, and curled her lips at her mother, "Mother, don't bully the son-in-law. The son-in-law treats his daughter very well."

As soon as the words came out, Li Lingyue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Wan'er was teaching Su Muning at this time, otherwise if she heard it, the girl would think about something else.

Empress Wu seemed very satisfied with her daughter's reaction. She patted her hand fondly and said with a smile: "Okay, mother, let's not talk. Let's go, let's go see you, Aye."

Li Lingyue followed Empress Wu into the inner room, and under the golden curtain, she saw Li Zhi resting with his eyes closed.Empress Wu helped Li Zhi tuck the quilt, then turned around and led Li Lingyue out, "I was awake just now, but I'm afraid I'm tired now, so I just fell asleep. Let's not disturb him, let's talk to mother about the people who live outside the palace." Are you used to it?"

Li Lingyue nodded, not in a hurry to answer her mother's words, but asked instead: "Aye's body..."

The smile on Empress Wu's face was a bit bitter. She looked at her daughter and said, "It was better on the day you got married, but it has gotten worse recently. I have tried all the methods of the imperial physician in the palace. Alas, I want to find out from the people. Some folk remedies, but I am worried that it is mediocrity, which will harm him instead."

When Li Lingyue saw Empress Wu revealing her true feelings, she never thought that her mother, who had always been strong, would have such a soft heart. She embraced her mother, and softly persuaded her, "Aye is the Son of Heaven, she will be protected by heaven, and she will get better."

Empress Wu smiled, and there was a touch of sarcasm in her slightly drooping eyes, she didn't know if she was mocking Li Lingyue's words, or her own heart.

When Li Lingyue was talking with Empress Wu, Su Muzhen, who was eager to miss her sister, also ran to peep at her sister.

It was class time, and Su Muzhen didn't want to disturb her, so she stood quietly outside the door, quietly watching her sister studying through the window.I haven't seen her for a few days, and the little girl in her family seems to be much haggard. The black and blue under the eye sockets are dazzling. I think it is difficult to fall asleep without her company, and I stayed up for a few days.

Her eyes were covered with mist, and she sighed melancholy.Shangguan Wan'er in the room noticed her coming, looked at Su Muning, who was studying knowledge, and said softly, "Take a break."

Su Muning nodded, but she still waited until she had finished reading her article before raising her head and smiling at Shangguan Wan'er.Shangguan Wan'er glanced outside the door, and Su Mu fixed her eyes, and followed suit. With this look, her smiling face completely bloomed.

"Sister!" The corners of her mouth were raised high. Regardless of her husband sitting aside, she got up and ran out the door, throwing herself into Su Muzhen's arms. She suddenly felt a little wronged, and her delicate face wrinkled , She huddled in Su Muzhen's arms and couldn't help sobbing, "Sister."

Su Muzhen's heart ached so much, she bent over and hugged her sister tightly, the mist in her eyes became heavier.

Seeing the two sisters like this, Shangguan Wan'er was also a little moved. She waited until the two sisters got up before stepping out. Looking outside the door, she was suddenly a little disappointed when she didn't see that pretty figure.

Su Muzhen wiped away her sister's tears, got up and saluted Shangguan Wan'er.Shangguan Wan'er nodded, and couldn't help asking, "Where's the princess?"

Su Muzhen is Li Lingyue's confidant, she has been with Li Lingyue for a long time, so she naturally understands that the relationship between the princess and Wan'er is unusual.After considering her words, she replied respectfully: "The princess is at Tianhou's place, she must be here in a while."

"En." Shangguan Wan'er nodded.

However, she waited for a while, and then waited for two more, but Li Lingyue did not come. In the end, it was the palace maid who passed the sage's oral order to let her go to the banquet, and she saw Li Lingyue.At that time, Li Lingyue was sitting with Wu Youji, they looked at each other and toasted, smiling happily.

The thorn in her heart protruded, she suppressed her own thoughts, and greeted everyone.

Li Zhi was already awake at that time, and he was sitting on the high steps. When he saw Wan'er, he ordered her to take a seat, and said to his daughter, "Ah Yue, you and Wan'er have always been very close. Aye specially called her here today. Can you tell me?" Still happy?"

"Happy." Li Lingyue responded with a smile, she went up to greet her personally, pulled Wan'er to the table beside her and sat down, poured a glass of wine and handed it to Wan'er, she lowered her voice and said: "I'll go later Look at you, don't think about it."

Shangguan Wan'er didn't show her joy or anger on her face, she took a sip from the cup she handed her, "To the princess."

Li Lingyue smiled lightly, hid her hand under the table, and secretly patted Wan'er's hand.Then she returned to Wu Youji's side, Li Xian laughed softly when he saw his sister like this, "After Ah Yue got married, she couldn't leave her son-in-law for a moment."

Li Lingyue smiled and glared at her brother, she seemed not angry, but in fact she already had the urge to gag Li Xian's mouth.Saying this at this juncture, wouldn't it make that girl think wildly? !

Li Xian couldn't see that she was hiding her anger, and still looked at her with a smile.Seeing this, Li Zhi interrupted suddenly, "Ah Yue, Xian'er has an heir, when will you let Aye hug Mr. Xiao Lang?"

Li Lingyue felt more suffocated in her heart, but she still didn't show up, and looked at her father complainingly, she turned her face away shyly, "Aye..."

Li Zhi looked at her with a smile, and sighed with Empress Wu that her daughter was really grown up.Empress Wu responded from the side, with a happy look on her face.

Li Lingyue let them talk, and while the two were not paying attention, she quietly looked at Wan'er. The wine cup in front of Wan'er's table was full again, and there was a smile on her face, she couldn't tell whether it was joy or happiness. Melancholy, just drinking one cup after another.

Li Lingyue's heart twitched, she wished she could grab the cup and kiss her immediately, but she couldn't under the eyes of everyone.She watched Shangguan Wan'er's face getting redder and redder, seeing Wan'er couldn't hold back the teasing words present, complained of illness and left the table, but could only bear it, curled up the corners of her mouth, and listened to the voice of struggling in her heart.

Shangguan Wan'er went back to the courtyard, Su Muning saw her husband's complexion was not good, and hurriedly mixed her into the room with her sister.After Li Lingyue left, Shangguan Wan'er recruited her into his courtyard on the grounds that it was convenient for her to raise her.

"Sir?" Su Muning called out worriedly.

Seeing that Su Muzhen hadn't left yet, Shangguan Wan'er thought that she could still see Li Lingyue, so she waved her hand, forced a smile and said, "Go and chat with your sister. I'm fine, I just had a few more drinks, Just take a break."

Su Muning showed hesitation, Su Muzhen knew that Shangguan Wan'er must have suffered a heartbreak at the banquet and needed to calm down, so she saluted her and pulled her sister out.

Shangguan Wan'er did not lie on the bed to rest, but washed her cheeks with clean water, intending to wake herself up, Ah Yue was coming, she couldn't just fall asleep like this.

Opening the casement with mahogany, she sat by the bed and flipped through the book. It rained yesterday, and the evening wind was a bit cool. Shangguan Wan'er tightened her collar tightly, but a smile appeared on her face.After a while, her Ah Yue will come, and Ah Yue will definitely explain what happened today to her, so she doesn't need to think about it.

She was sure that Li Lingyue would definitely come, but she didn't expect that after waiting for so long, she only waited for the news that the maid called Su Muzhen out of the palace.She watched Su Muning reluctantly send Su Muzhen out, and her expectant heart gradually cooled down.She knew that her Ah Yue would not come tonight.

Someone must have stopped her.It's a shame that although she is now a popular person in front of Empress Wu, she is no different from a female envoy.The palms of her hands were tightly wrapped around the door frame, and she looked at the brightly lit palace in the distance, and the flames were reflected in her eyes.

power.With a sneer, she turned and closed the door.
