Empress Reborn

In Princess Chang'an's mansion, two guns clashed, clanging, and the guns were fast and fierce, but their strength was different. Li Lingyue was no match for Su Muzhen's natural power, and after dozens of rounds, she was finally defeated.

Putting the gun back, Li Lingyue waved her hand, took the silk handkerchief handed over by the maid, and lightly tested the sweat. There was no resentment of defeat on her face, but a sense of relief, "Mu Zhen's The marksmanship is really getting better and better, it's a shame for you to keep this kind of skill only by my side to take care of the mansion."

Su Muzhen nodded and bowed, and replied respectfully, "Princess praises me, I don't feel wronged."

Li Lingyue threw the silk handkerchief to the maidservant, turned to Su Muzhen and said, "Come with me." After saying that, she waved away the attendants, and walked with Su Muzhen.

Such things happened from time to time before, Su Muzhen only thought that the princess wanted her to talk with her, but unexpectedly, after a while, she heard the princess asking: "Mu Zhen, do you want to join the army?"

Naturally, she wanted to join the army. Her family of generals also shed the blood of soldiers, and wanted to make contributions on the battlefield, but she still had a younger sister, and her Ning'er was still so young.For Ning'er, she hesitated, "Princess..."

Li Lingyue turned around and looked at her with gentle eyes. She knew Su Muzhen's concerns, so she prescribed the right medicine, "Muzhen is worried about Ning'er? Ning'er has Wan'er in the palace to look after her. She was bullied by others. Don't worry, I won't let you go for too long, within three years, I will definitely let you come back. In these three years, I will guarantee Ning'er's safety."

In another year, Pei Xingjian will be leaving.Pei Xingjian had been taught by Su Muzhen's grandfather Su Dingfang, and she believed that Su Muzhen could go to the military camp with just a few operations.There are many people coveting the throne, she is not the most favorable contender, Su Muzhen is a good piece of jade, she wants to use these few years to polish her, so that it will be more useful in the future.

Su Muzhen didn't reply immediately, she looked at Li Lingyue's expression, the princess's phoenix eyes were gentle and firm, so should she believe it?Joining the army is her life's dream, but Ning'er is the most precious treasure in her life. In order to protect Ning'er, she can abandon her dream, but under the current situation, she hesitates.She knew that although the princess had always treated their sisters well, she was not a pure and kind person. She did not want unfaithful people, and she would not want loyal but useless people in the future.

"Princess..." A trembling voice came out of Su Muzhen's mouth. Su Muzhen had made a decision. She knew that if she shouldn't, she might only be a follower by the princess' side in the future. With such a humble identity, how could she do it in the future? Finding Ning'er a good husband's family, how can Ning'er live a comfortable life like a lady?With her forehead lowered slightly, she bowed and replied: "Thank you, princess, I am willing to join the army!"

Li Lingyue looked at her appreciatively, with satisfaction and guilt in her eyes.Thinking of a few days ago when she sent someone to inquire about Pei Xingjian's behavior, the guilt in her eyes was even heavier. Although Mr. Pei was brave and a good general, he was also like some stubborn old men who believed that only a man could enter the military camp.From Li Lingyue's point of view, Su Muzhen naturally did not lose to her husband, but if she wanted Pei Xingjian to accept him, she had to do something else.

Her gaze fell on Su Muzhen's face, Li Lingyue's eyes were stained with pity and sorrow, she lightly parted her vermilion lips, her voice trembling rarely, "Muzhen, your menstruation..."

Su Muzhen's melancholy heart fell to the bottom for a moment, her eyes widened, and although she didn't answer, Li Lingyue already understood, she understood, she knew what she meant, but she didn't know how she would choose.

Quietly waiting for Su Muzhen's reply, Li Lingyue didn't say a word of urging, nor did she show any dissatisfaction on her face.She knew that this choice was difficult for her daughter's family, if Su Muzhen didn't accept it, she wouldn't be upset because of it, at most-at most she wouldn't be reused like she is now, but she would still be left to take care of the mansion and do things. little things.And while she was waiting quietly, Su Muzhen finally got the answer after going through many twists and turns in her heart.

"Princess." The surprise had already faded away with time, Su Muzhen's face was peaceful, she smiled with the corners of her mouth pulled, not much, but it hurt her heart, she said: "Princess, I am willing. Please give the slave the good medicine to get rid of menstruation."

"Mu Zhen..." Li Lingyue was moved by this, raised her hand and patted her shoulder lightly, the sun reflected on her face, and there was a little bit of starlight in those unobtrusive phoenix eyes, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect your sister's glory for the rest of her life."

"Thank you, Princess!" Su Muzhen bowed down, lowered her head and gently held the corner of her mouth.Glory?She won't have any offspring in this life, so what's the use of these false names?Forget it, as long as my younger sister can get the protection of the princess, her life will be peaceful.

The night was as cool as water, and the cold wind blew in strands from the window, which made Li Lingyue shiver, but she didn't care, she was still wearing a thin shirt, toasting and drinking alone in the early autumn night.

This morning, she watched Su Muzhen leave the mansion, but in order to avoid suspicion, she did not take Su Muzhen out in person, and even feared that Empress Wu would be suspicious, she did not dare to take Su Muzhen to say goodbye to her sister.She really looks more and more like herself in her previous life.

Looking up and pouring a glass of wine, Li Lingyue's eyes dimmed, and she suddenly saw Wan'er, the demure and graceful Wan'er, she smiled with the corners of her mouth, and stretched her hand forward, she wanted to hold Wan'er My son's hand, but I didn't think it was empty.

"Wan'er..." Her hands drooped down, and she murmured the name softly, but her heart ached again, it was really a long, long time since she had seen Wan'er.After the family banquet that day, she wanted to see Wan'er, but was stopped by Empress Wu, who dragged her to say some thoughtful words. After the words were finished, it was the day of night confinement. Empress Wu and Wan'er lived in the same house, and she was afraid that Empress Wu would be suspicious. Dare to rush over, so I lost my promise.

"Alas..." With a long sigh, she picked up the jug and added another glass to herself.

"Wan'er, I miss you so much." Gongchou stuck to her lips, she raised her head to pour the wine glass, but saw a figure walking over in front of her eyes.Blinking her eyelids, she saw the man's face clearly from the haze, it was actually that soft bun Wu Youji.

"What are you doing here? Get out." She retreated softly, but she couldn't see Wan'er. She was in a bad mood and drank too much to the point where she didn't want to hide it now.

Wu Youji was stabbed by the disgust in her eyes, he smiled sarcastically, put his outer shirt on Li Lingyue, got up and closed the window, "It's windy at night, be careful of the cold."

Li Lingyue smiled, and when she saw him, she remembered Shangguan Wan'er who was lost that night, she threw away the coat mercilessly, and said to Wu Youji, "Get out!"

The meaning of this bang became more obvious, Wu Youji was frustrated, he lowered his body and picked up his coat, he turned and walked outside the door, took two steps, suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked her, "What are you talking about?" Just now you were calling Wan'er, you said you missed her, but she is just a woman..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Li Lingyue's complexion darkened, and his phoenix eyes glowed with a cold light that would make anyone look cold. He pursed his lips, not knowing why the princess still refused after being married for a quarter. Is Shangguan Wan'er, who is also a woman, so nice to consummate the house with him?On their wedding night, she would rather talk about her daughter's private affairs with Shangguan Wan'er than go to the wedding with him.

Full of sorrow, he left the princess's boudoir, feeling depressed and hadn't gotten better for a few days. In order to crowd out the sorrow, he listened to the advice of his servants and invited several gentlemen to go to Pingkangfang together.

Pingkang Square is full of romantic venues, Wu Youji and others found a famous courtyard and entered, and invited a well-known person to serve as a banquet and arrange a drinking order.Because of his poor literary talent, Wu Youji made many mistakes and was given many glasses of wine.After drinking too much wine, his face began to turn red. Seeing the gentlemen who brought him play with their arms around the little lady in the courtyard, he wriggled his lips, hoping that it would be great if the princess was willing to do like him.

The aristocratic sons hugged the woman cheerfully, seeing Wu Youji clean and self-conscious, not getting close to the women in the workshop, they joked together, "The son-in-law is really Liu Xiahui alive, so many young ladies are present, so I am not tempted."

"Hey, the concubine's wife is a princess, with golden branches and jade leaves, so why would he like these vulgar fans?"

The women were worried when they heard this, but the smiles on their faces did not diminish in the slightest.Hearing this, Wu You smiled wryly, his sorrow was hidden deep, and he was dizzy from drinking at this time, he actually took this opportunity to complain to everyone, "Don't make fun of me, the princess is golden branches and jade leaves, I can't afford it too .”

There are a few libertines in Langjun's house. Hearing what he said, he answered, "You and the princess are both in the bridal chamber, and you still can't afford it? Brother Wu is really humble."

Wu Youji's eyes darkened when he heard this, he drank a glass of wine and sighed, "You don't know my sorrow, the princess is really something I can't afford."

Hearing this, the prodigal son rolled his eyes, and suddenly teased, "Could it be that the princess didn't have sex with you?"

Wu Youji felt a dull pain in his heart, and nodded his head with a "hmm".

His reply stunned the people present, and they kept asking questions.Wu You was no match for him, and he wanted to tell others about it, so he told them all the things he knew.

The distress in his heart dissipated little by little as he talked, and he felt much more comfortable in his heart, so he drank a few more glasses until he passed out.The servants quickly helped him back to the mansion, but just after entering the mansion, they met Li Lingyue.

The smell of alcohol wafted down Wu Youji's clothes, Li Lingyue frowned, and spat in a low voice, "What a bitch." Glancing at the anxious servants, she waved them away.

The next day, Wu You woke up from the drunkenness and felt his head was heavy, but he couldn't remember complaining to those people yesterday.It's just that he doesn't remember, someone remembers.The few people who were drinking and having fun together that day would talk about it when they enjoyed themselves in Pingkangfang.There are many talented young men in Pingkangfang, after people added fuel and jealousy, it was rumored that the princess loved Shangguan Wan'er but was indifferent to the son-in-law.
