Empress Reborn

Under the willows by the courtyard, Li Xian stood with his back to the two of them. He was in a remote location, but Li Lingyue's sharp eyes glanced at them.She saw another man in Li Xian's arms. The man's upper body was naked and snuggled up in Li Xian's arms. He let the other party lightly brush his chest with a willow stick, and whispered softly while biting his white teeth.

Li Lingyue frowned, looked back at Shangguan Wan'er, who was indifferent to the world, and saw Wan'er's blushing face, she quickly reached out to cover her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Such filthy matters, don't be dirty!" Wan'er's eyes."

She quickly took Wan'er to the door, and when she approached the door, she still didn't forget to cast a sideways glance at the careless sixth brother: "Sixth brother, sixth brother, you are in vain of your literary and military skills, but you never expected that you would fall in this place." On the eunuch?Shaking her head and sighing silently, Li Lingyue stepped into the door.

Li Xian and Li Dan, who had already been seated in the room, greeted their sister when they saw her coming.Li Dan has always been elegant and reticent, so he just nodded and smiled, "How are you?" Li Xian saw a delicate and beautiful girl behind Li Lingyue. Come over, "Ah Yue is here, you haven't come these few days, but you have made my brothers worry to death. By the way, who is the little lady behind you?"

Li Lingyue greeted the two elder brothers, held Wan'er's hand and said, "She is Shangguan Wan'er, and she will study with us in the future."

Hearing the words Shangguan Wan'er, the two brothers of the Li family were shocked, but it was only fleeting. Li Dan still smiled and nodded at Wan'er, while Li Xian looked at Wan'er. Hanhan smiled, "Hey, Wan'er, sit next to me."

This slightly infatuated appearance reminded Li Lingyue of her previous life. She quickly took Wan'er by her side and led her to sit next to her seat. I'm fine here."

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but smiled wryly, she didn't know when she was allergic to pollen, but she didn't expose it, and took the seat meekly.

After a while, Li Xian and Li Yiyan, who was teaching, also entered the room. When they saw Wan'er, the two couldn't help being startled, but they didn't say anything, and took their seats one after another.

It was the first time I met Li Yiyan, and Li Yiyan seemed to be very concerned about this talented girl from the Shangguan family. In this class, she asked her several questions one after another, from shallow to deep, and Wan'er answered them one by one. It even surprised the people present.

After leaving the hall, Li Xian stayed here to discuss state affairs with Li Yiyan. Li Dan wanted to go back to graffiti, so he told Li Lingyue a few words, and then left.And Li Xian, who fell in love with Wan'er at first sight, approached courteously, "Wan'er, where are you going next, I'll see you off."

Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly. She wanted to say no, but Li Lingyue at the side beat her to the punch, "Brother Seven, all the sisters-in-law are waiting for you at home. Why don't you go back first?"

"Ah Yue!" Li Xian snorted dissatisfiedly as if he had been poked at a sore spot. He wanted to persuade Wan'er to go with him again, but he didn't expect his sister to take Wan'er's hand and get into the carriage.Well, it's better to be a woman.Li Xian shook his head and left helplessly.

■

Inside the carriage, Li Lingyue thought that Shangguan Wan'er was about to serve her mother. She recalled all the past, but she couldn't help but feel worried.Putting her hand on Wan'er's catkin, Li Lingyue instructed: "Wan'er, Auntie is sometimes impatient, so you must remember not to confront her. Things like last time will not happen every time. If you encounter any troubles in the future, or if you have any puzzles, you can ask me. Although I am not as good as you in literary talent, I am not bad in other aspects. By the way, in a few days, I will teach you how to ride a horse , so we can play polo together in the future.”

Shangguan Wan'er nodded her head lightly, but the look in her eyes was somewhat complicated. She didn't understand why this royal princess who had only met her for a few days was so kind to her?She should have no shortage of playmates, so what is she looking for in herself?What an incredible princess.

■

Still so considerate and personally supported, Shangguan Wan'er followed Li Lingyue to the palace where Empress Wu was.In the hall, Empress Wu was reviewing the memorial. When Li Lingyue and the two entered, she seemed to be seeing some bad news, so she threw the memorial on the table with her backhand.

The servants and servants in the hall were all trembling with fright, even the two who had just entered the hall couldn't help being startled.Li Lingyue saw that the face of Shangguan Wan'er next to her was a little pale. She thought that her words on the road had frightened her, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty. On the back of Empress Wu, she said softly: "Don't be angry, mother. Why don't you bother me, why don't you tell my daughter. Maybe my daughter can help."

Seeing her daughter being so well-behaved and close to her, Empress Wu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Ah Yue is here, it would be great if you were a gentleman."

Li Lingyue's heart sank slightly. In this patriarchal world, men are indeed better at handling things, but so what?She lowered her eyebrows and smiled softly, "Aniang is just a daughter, and I look at you no worse than those gentlemen. A daughter is a child, so how can you lose to a gentleman?"

These words were useful to Empress Wu, and a smile could not help appearing on that calm face, "My son is indeed not inferior to your husband."

Li Lingyue smiled, "Wan'er is not inferior to gentlemen. In class today, Mr. Li kept praising Wan'er. Even my older brothers were so amazed by Wan'er that they couldn't talk to themselves."

"Oh?" Empress Wu put her eyes on Wan'er, and Wan'er quickly lowered her eyes to salute. Empress Wu waved her hand, calling Wan'er to come over. After Wan'er approached, she stared at the humble figure again for a long time. Only then ordered her to grind.

Li Lingyue knew that her mother was about to start teaching Wan'er, and according to the past, she should avoid it at this time.But in her previous life, she owed that woman too much, and in this life she finally met her.How could she be willing to leave, she wanted to be bored all the time, so she stayed there today on the grounds of serving her mother.

There, besides being able to see Wan'er and learn the things she knew well in her previous life, she also heard a piece of news - recently, Tubo frequently invaded the frontier fortresses, and the Tang army was unable to defend against the enemy.Li Lingyue remembered that shortly after this incident, Tubo came to ask for marriage and asked to marry her by name.This meant that she was about to leave the palace.

■

Just as Li Lingyue expected, within a few months, Tubo sent a special envoy to propose marriage in order to ease the war situation.As the only daughter of Tang Gaozong and Empress Wu, Li Lingyue was deeply loved by the two, so naturally she would not be sent away, but this time the battle was serious, and it was not easy for the two to directly oppose it.Empress Wu had no choice but to recruit these children and discuss together.

"Aniang, please don't marry Taiping there. Tubo is too far away, I think it must be a group of barbarians." He jumped out to object.

Li Dan and Li Lingyue were similar in age, so he was reluctant to part with him, so he said, "Luyao, Tubo, if Ayue really married, it will be difficult for us to see her again in the future. I don't know if there is any way to keep Ayue behind." .”

As the crown prince, Li Xian is even more unwilling to marry Taiping far away, "Of course I can't marry Taiping, those barbarians really think that I, Tang, are afraid of him?!"

Empress Wu's complexion darkened when she heard this, and she asked Li Xian, "What do you think the prince wants?"

Li Xian poked his neck and replied: "Naturally send troops to take all those barbarians under account!"

"Send troops? Didn't the prince forget that the generals you recommended before were all defeated." Empress Wu chuckled undisguisedly, her contemptuous expression piercing into Li Xian's heart like a thorn.Li Xian frowned tightly, wanting to refute, but dared not.

Li Lingyue knew that the conflict between her mother and Sixth Brother had already deepened so far, and in a few days, Sixth Brother would not be able to sit still as the crown prince.Seeing her mother mocking the sixth brother again, she finally couldn't bear to let the embarrassment continue, and said softly: "Aniang, my daughter is reluctant to leave you and your brothers, you must keep her ah."

Seeing her daughter's weak expression, Empress Wu's heart softened for a moment. She hurriedly asked her to sit beside her, hugged her and caressed her gently.Li Lingyue looked at the envious expressions on the faces of several elder brothers, and couldn't help but feel bitterness in her heart. She glanced back at the woman who was waiting behind Empress Wu, and said with a wry smile: "Wan'er, I want Go away, and your life will be easier in the future."

Shangguan Wan'er lowered her head, her expression slightly melancholy.This sad little appearance made Li Lingyue want to take her into her arms and take care of her. Unfortunately, she still had to finish the play. She remembered that Shangguan Wan'er was the one who helped her solve this problem in her previous life. This time, she still wanted to give credit to her Give it to Wan'er.

Empress Wu hugged Li Lingyue and comforted her softly. The hall was quiet, and the princes seemed to be thinking about countermeasures. At this moment, Shangguan Wan'er said, "Tianhou, Wan'er has an idea, I wonder if I should say it?"

"Wan'er, tell me."

After Empress Wu agreed, Shangguan Wan'er expressed her thoughts, "Wan'er remembers that the princess once became a monk."

As if a single word awakened the dreamer, everyone in the hall showed smiles. Empress Wu praised Wan'er again and again, and then said: "Good, good! Wan'er is really smart. Ah Yue has become a monk, is this female Taoist priest really smart?" It's a good way to send out a marriage."

"Wonderful! Wonderful! She really deserves to be Wan'er." Li Xian also clapped his hands in praise.

Li Lingyue gave Shangguan Wan'er a grateful smile, and Shangguan Wan'er nodded in return.Empress Wu said again: "Just in this way, Ah Yue will be moved out of the palace."

"Aniang, I would like to find a Taoist temple for Taiping." Li Xian answered.

Empress Wu glanced at him, "The crown prince is busy with everything, so leave this to Xian'er. Dan'er, you can help too."

Li Xian was a little flattered, he hurriedly received an order from Li Dan to thank him.

Empress Wu put her eyes on her daughter again, seeing her cuddling and joyful appearance, she felt her heart soften, "Are you satisfied with this?"

Li Lingyue shook her head, "Aniang, if my daughter is alone outside and still in that Taoist temple, wouldn't she be suffocated to death?"

"You say it's a Taoist temple, how can mother really be willing to let you become a monk?" Empress Wu looked at her daughter dotingly and said, "It's just for Tubo to watch, and when the time comes, your maidservants will not be missing any of the playing utensils. "

Li Lingyue nodded thoughtfully, then she suddenly turned her eyes on Wan'er, and begged Empress Wu: "Then, Aunt, where is my companion?"

"What? You still want to take Wan'er away from your mother?" Although the words were slightly reprimanded, there was no trace of anger on Empress Wu's face.Seeing her daughter acting like a baby to herself, and thinking that her daughter is still young, it is boring to be alone outside. If Wan'er is to accompany her, the two of them will be better. What's more, if something happens, Wan'er is so smart and can help her daughter A point or two.She finally complied with her daughter's wish, "Okay, Auntie will lend Wan'er to you for a few days, but you are not allowed to bully her."

"Don't worry, Auntie, it's thanks to Wan'er that my daughter can stay here. Wan'er is my daughter's great benefactor, and it's too late for my daughter to thank her, so why would she bully her?" Li Lingyue laughed.She was tired of her mother, but then she raised her head again, looked at the woman with a look of joy, and smiled slightly.
