Empress Reborn

The sun was scorching hot, and the scorched forehead was covered with hot sweat.On the city wall of Luoyang, the eastern capital, Shangguan Wan'er looks into the distance, her eager heart is hotter than that of Lie Yang.She has been waiting for more than three years. In the past three years, the court has been in turmoil. The Li family has lost some relatives, and the Wu family has gained some power. She became a playful little girl who could recite a thousand-character text.

She looked down at the little girl beside her, and asked with a smile: "Xuan'er, do you miss your mother?"

The memories of her infancy have already turned into bubbles, and Xiao Xuan'er does not have a mother in her mind. She only remembers that it was Shangguan's mother who raised her. From her point of view, Shangguan's mother is her mother. In recent days, I have been busy with affairs, so I didn't spend time with her.Smiling and nodding, she hugged Shangguan Wan'er's hand and called out childishly, "Mother."

Shangguan Wan'er was dumbfounded.Seeing this scene, the Holy God Emperor, who was guarded by the officials, couldn't help laughing and said, "Wan'er, this girl treats you better than Ah Yue."

yes.I don't know if Ah Yue will eat it when she comes back?Shangguan Wan'er lowered her eyes and smiled lightly.At this time, Lang Jun, who was wearing a white robe beside the Holy God Emperor, said: "Zhaijia, look, Zhou Jun has returned triumphantly!"

The emperor, who was over sixty years old, stared hard with her already blurred eyes. Her eyes were complicated and unpredictable. Apart from concern and worry, there seemed to be something else hidden in her eyes.

Shangguan Wan'er also looked into the distance with her, and her beating heart became more and more restless. Her A Yue finally came back. I don't know if she has lived well in the past three years. The frontier is cold and dew heavy. I don't know if she is thin or not. hurt.The eagerness made her sweat on the hand holding Xuan'er, Xiao Xuan'er looked up at her with wide eyes, then at the city wall that was higher than her, curled her lips helplessly.

Missing's figure got closer and closer, and Shangguan Wan'er finally engraved that person in her eyes. Before Baijun, she rode a horse and walked slowly, dressed in military uniform, with a heroic posture. Her Ah Yue seemed to be darker, and her body was also thinner.There was worry in her burning eyes, Shangguan Wan'er frowned at the figure, but gradually smiled: However, she finally returned safely, and she looked even more beautiful.

"Chenwu Lingyue sees the saint!" Stopping in front of the city gate, Li Lingyue dismounted and led the army to meet the holy emperor.From just now she saw the gentle figure on the high wall, "Wan'er, Wan'er." Silently thinking of that person's name in her heart, she wished she could grow her wings and fly up the city wall, and embrace this little lady in her arms for a close kiss. some.

The Emperor of the Holy Spirit raised his hand, seeing his daughter's pale face, her heart was also slightly touched, "Princess Taiping has made great contributions to protecting the country, bestowed on the general of Hussars, sealed the princess of Zhenguo, and granted a license to open the mansion!"

As soon as the words fell, the faces of the ministers were all surprised. Some people wanted to refute, but because of the joyous cheers of the people under the wall, they held back and planned to write a letter to the emperor after returning home.

Princess Taiping of Zhenguo?It was a few days earlier than in the previous life.The corners of Li Lingyue's lips curved slightly, she bowed to the emperor on the high wall, and shouted long live, "Thank you saint!"

"The sage is wise!" The soldiers following Li Lingyue and the onlookers cheered one after another, creating a joyous scene.Shangguan Wan'er was relieved to see it, but the brothers from the Wu family not far away from her had a dark face, and moved the corners of their mouths with a fake smile.

The Holy God Emperor noticed it, but remained calm, only looking at his well-behaved little granddaughter, and Shangguan Wan'er said softly: "Xuan'er hasn't seen Auntie for a long time, right? It's time to get together. Wan'er, since she left If you don't leave, you can take her there."

This is to imply that Shangguan Wan'er does not need to serve her today, just go and accompany Li Lingyue.Shangguan Wan'er naturally couldn't ask for it, she nodded in response, "Yes."

When the Holy God Emperor withdrew all the civil and military officials, Li Lingyue signaled his subordinates to go home to rest first, threw the horse and ran up the high platform.

"Wan'er!" She called excitedly, and was about to rush over to take Wan'er into her arms and fly around, but she caught sight of a small figure nestling beside Wan'er, looking at her curiously.

"This is Xuan'er? She's grown up so much." Li Lingyue lowered her body and was about to touch her daughter's little cheek, but the little girl didn't want to show her face, she shrank behind Shangguan Wan'er as soon as she saw her, " Mother."

"Hey, Xuan'er, this is your mother." Shangguan Wan'er's eyes were full of warmth, and her Ah Yue was finally close at hand. She stroked Xuan'er's hand and pushed the little girl in front of Li Lingyue. The voice induced, "Come, call Aunt."

"A~Mother~" Xiao Xuan'er imitated Shangguan Wan'er's words and cowardly called, seeing that Li Lingyue was about to touch her again, she moved her little feet and hid behind Shangguan Wan'er.

Seeing her daughter picking up Wan'er's skirt and avoiding herself as if avoiding a villain, Li Lingyue pulled the corners of her lips anxiously.

Shangguan Wan'er caught her expression, frowned slightly, and glanced at Xiao Xuan'er. Xiao Xuan'er shrank her neck, pouted her mouth and walked out aggrieved, "Mother."

Li Lingyue stretched out her hand and patted her on the head. Seeing how she wanted to hide but did not dare to hide, she was heartbroken, "Okay little girl, Auntie won't force you anymore, you can go find your Shangguan mother."

Xiao Xuan'er sprinted behind Wan'er like a fox who knew there were chickens over there, her small body hid behind the hem of the vermilion skirt, but her big round eyes couldn't stop looking around.Li Lingyue burst into a smile, she looked at Shangguan Wan'er and said: "Wan'er, could it be that my face is rough due to the wind and sun, and this child forgets me?"

"How old was she when you left, how could she remember?" Shangguan Wan'er covered her lips and smiled lightly, she looked at Li Lingyue's eyebrows and said, "It is indeed a bit darker, I am afraid that Xuan'er has never seen such a dark person before, she is a little afraid .”

Li Lingyue touched her face in astonishment, "I haven't paid attention to it for three years, is it already this scary?" She looked at Shangguan Wan'er anxiously, and said shyly, "My lady, are you tired of me too?"

Shangguan Wan'er gave her a scolding look, "Xuan'er is still here." Seeing Li Lingyue looking at her expectantly, she couldn't help but shook her head quietly: In my opinion, you are more beautiful than before, and I am also more beautiful. Thank you.She smiled, gentle and playful, "You are tired after traveling all the way, go home and have a rest. It's just time to wash off the black dust on your face."

"Okay." Li Lingyue held Shangguan Wan'er's hand, and there was blaze hidden in her soft eyes, "Let's go together."

■

The mist curled up, and the figures of the two people were blurred by the mist. In the hot bath, there were bursts of cheers from time to time.

"It's still comfortable at home, with hot water, fine wine, and—" Li Lingyue raised her head, and lightly hooked Shangguan Wan'er's chin, "Beauty."

"It's not serious." Shangguan Wan'er glanced at her, and suddenly saw a red mark in the mist. She didn't show her face, but said warmly to Li Lingyue, "Turn around, and I'll wipe your back for you."

Li Lingyue turned around with a smile, leaned her arms on the stone steps, and lay lazily.She caressed her slender back with her slender hands, and the water droplets rubbed gently on her fingertips. From a short distance away, Shangguan Wan'er could see clearly that Ah Yue's back was no longer smooth, and red marks were written all over her.

How painful should it be? !Shangguan Wan'er touched silently, her lowered eyes were filled with pity: For three years, Ah Yue often sent her letters, but it was believed that she never mentioned that she had been injured.

"Ah Yue." Warm tears dripped down Li Lingyue's back down her cheeks and fell into the water of the bathing pool. Shangguan Wan'er closed her eyes, "You have suffered for these three years."

"Wow!" The choked voice made Li Lingyue's heart tremble, and she hurriedly turned around and pulled Wan'er into her arms, "But did you see the injury on my back? Don't think too much about it. Wan'er, it's all over. I It doesn't hurt at all now."

Shangguan Wan'er opened her eyes, and the appearance of Lihua with rain was even more pitiful. Li Lingyue hugged her tightly and was about to make her laugh, but she saw Wan'er break free from her embrace and looked at her carefully, " Apart from the one on the back, where else have you been injured?"

Li Lingyue shrank, hid in the dense water, bent her lips and smiled, "No more."

Shangguan Wan'er looked at her, with a smile on her poetic face.Li Lingyue thought: For the past three years, Wan'er may not have had an easy time in the palace.She curled the corners of her lips, raised her eyebrows halfway, and smiled coquettishly and playfully, "It's been a long time since I saw you, don't you miss my body?"

"No one is serious." Shangguan Wan'er resigned helplessly, but suddenly heard the sound of water moving slightly, the person in front of her stood up, the fog was still there, and her naked body appeared and disappeared from time to time.She wanted to take this opportunity to look for the scars on the other person's body, but before she could fix her eyes clearly, the person leaned over.

With lips and teeth close together, she heard the man's faint murmur, "Wan'er, I really miss you for a long time."
