Empress Reborn

"Whoa whoa—"

The cries of the baby falling to the ground came from the side courtyard of the other hall. Emperor Li Dan took the carefully wrapped baby from the hand of Mrs. Wen, with a smile on his face, he carefully opened the apron and looked at the puffy crying face , the slightly curved eyebrows and eyes suddenly became sad, "Go and report to the Queen Mother, Concubine De has given birth to a son, I respectfully ask the Queen Mother to give her a name."

The palace servants went away under orders, and came back with the Queen Mother's order after a while, and named him Longji.

"Longji." Li Dan pondered carefully, he carried the child into the house, and softly asked Concubine De for a baby name.

Concubine Dou De looked at the ignorant baby in the swaddle, and a mother's unique loving smile appeared on her weak face, "How about calling me a crow slave at home?"

The crow is inconspicuous, but alert and intelligent. She hopes that this child can live safely in this difficult and chaotic world, right?Li Dan lowered his eyes, looked at his wife tenderly and lovingly, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will call him a crow slave according to you."

Li Longji, who had fought against Li Lingyue in his previous life, was thus born. However, it had been more than three months since Li Lingyue saw him.

It was Li Longji's full moon banquet, and the emperor Li Dan, who was almost under house arrest by the queen mother, was able to walk out of the side hall and went to the banquet with his family members in the harem.

The Empress Dowager hugged the little emperor's grandson who was just full moon and was gently teasing her. Seeing Li Lingyue throwing off her son-in-law and whispering to Shangguan Wan'er, she twitched her brows and called her out, "Ah Yue, come and see your nephew. So this is your starling's fourth child."

Li Lingyue was stunned, her mother clearly meant something, but didn't she know everything about herself and Wan'er?Why do you still say that?Following her mother's expression, she took the little baby in her arms and looked at it carefully: it is still such a small ball, who would have thought that he would be so cruel when he grows up?There was still a smile on her face, but her soft heart gradually hardened.

She rubbed her soft face with her fingers, but when she touched her neck, she suddenly withdrew. Although she had thought of going to Li Longji's death, the white-faced figure in front of her was clearly a blank sheet of paper, so why should she be with a baby? Gas?He was about to kill him, and he had to wait for him to show signs of harming himself.

The corners of Li Lingyue's lips were slightly curved, and the smile on Li Lingyue's face was frosty, but it passed by again. She hugged the baby and looked for Concubine Dou De, praised her for a few words about the cuteness of the baby, and then went to the mother By his side, obviously to serve his mother, but secretly just to avoid that annoying Wu Youji, so that he can get closer to Shangguan Wan'er.

But what did the mother mean by those words?Li Lingyue thought about this matter for a long time, and it took several months for her to know the answer.

That day, she learned from Su Muzhen that Dong|Turks had repeatedly violated the borders of the Tang Dynasty, and she heard Wan'er mention in the palace that the queen mother disturbed everyone's prejudice against Feng Xiaobao, and wanted him to lead troops to conquer Dong|Turks, and use meritorious service to block it. Long talk.Li Lingyue thought that Feng Xiaobao was an idiot, and it was thanks to his fate that he was able to win the victory back then. When he went to the place, he did not see the Turkic soldiers, so he led the army to "triumph" under the banner that the Turkic soldiers were deterred by him and would not dare to commit another crime.If she uses this to march together and come back with meritorious service, with a little more work like this, she can start a mansion openly and recruit talents.

Therefore, she went to the Empress Dowager Wu to explain the reason, using the excuse that she could perform divination and calculations, and if she went together, she would surely return with a big victory.She originally thought that Empress Dowager Wu is now pampering that thief and bald slave, and she would be tempted to hear her say this, but unexpectedly, after she said it, Empress Wu remained silent.However, seeing Empress Dowager Wu looking at her calmly, she said something irrelevant to her words in a deep voice, "Ah Yue, your starling already has a third husband."

Li Lingyue was slightly stunned. Her mother must have meant something by saying this at this time. She roughly guessed her mother's intentions, but she still pretended to be puzzled, and said with a smile: "Yes, the starling is blessed, and he will definitely return in the future." There will be Shiro, Goro."

Empress Dowager Wu stared at her, the calmness in her eyes was shocking, "What about you?"

Li Lingyue met her mother's gaze, and the surprise in her eyes couldn't be concealed, "Mother?" You clearly know that I have Wan'er!She choked back on the latter sentence.

But Empress Dowager Wu still understood, she looked at her daughter indifferently, and what she said was neither salty nor bland, but pierced Li Lingyue's heart, "Do you think an emperor without an heir can stand firmly?"

Li Lingyue looked at her mother, and the corners of her raised lips were tinged with bitterness. She had never wanted to think about Empress Dowager Wu's words. She knew that the road ahead would be difficult for her to become emperor.She is not as good as her mother, although she has a different surname, but when she married into the Li family, she was recognized as the Li family, and she was originally from the Li family, but she was no longer the Li family because she married out.She is also inferior to her mother who is the mother-in-law of several princes. Apart from being in power for many years, she will return to the Li family sooner or later because of her age, and the princes of her Li family are still there. Even if the prince died, there would still be the grandson, let alone think of her.Therefore, at this juncture of changes in the court, she must rely on her mother and start a government as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late in the future.As for the heirs—

Li Lingyue's eyes drooped down. Originally, she thought that for Wan'er, it would be good to find a nephew from the Li family to inherit after she became in power, but now that she thinks about it, the most talented nephews of the Li family are Dalang and Sanlang, the starlings. His own Saburo is really a delusion, but Dalang has been by mynah's side for a long time, and he may have ambiguity when he is by his side.What's more, a few days ago when she and Wan'er went out to play in the palace, she had seen various behaviors of women outside the palace inferior to men many times.In her previous life, she only thought of those people as bad people and could not enjoy the same treatment as herself, but now she has heard Wan'er's words that women are not as lucky as men, and she feels uncomfortable.

Adoption can only adopt the husband, but if she has a daughter herself, can she pass the throne to her, so that she can completely reverse the perverse notion that men are superior to women and are inferior to women that have been handed down for many years?

"Mother!" Shocked by her sudden thought, Li Lingyue called her mother in a voice.

Empress Dowager Wu looked at her daughter with pity in her eyes, and she said, "Ah Yue, there are always trade-offs in everything, let alone such a great achievement. Go back and think about it."

Li Lingyue answered "Yes" and walked out in a daze.This time, her thoughts were wandering, and she rushed out of the palace without even daring to step into the side hall.

■

In the middle of the night, the candlelight in the Princess Mansion was still on. Li Lingyue sat by the desk, thinking about her mother's words, and felt a little chill in her heart.In her previous life, she also had heirs, and although some of them disappointed her, there were some who were well-behaved and pleasing to her.But now that she has Wan'er, how can she bear her down again?But if it is adopted, she feels that the children of her elder brothers are not caring and there are hidden dangers.Is it really the only way to live by yourself?

Li Lingyue looked at the gloomy moonlight and sighed faintly.
