Empress Reborn

"Thank you, lady." Li Lingyue thanked her warmly, but her manner was still full of guard, after all, there were few people in the mountains, and she didn't know if this girl was reckless or not.

"It's easy to do." The girl nodded slightly, put away her bow and walked towards the wild boar. The arrow just pierced the boar's hind feet, but it didn't kill it, it just made it unable to move forward.Shangguan Wan'er watched quietly, thinking that the girl was really kind-hearted, and she couldn't bear to take the animal's life, but she didn't think that the next moment, she saw the girl draw a big knife from her waist, and stabbed at the wild boar viciously.

The situation was so fast that Shangguan Wan'er, who had never seen blood before, was startled, "Ah!"

Li Lingyue quickly pulled Shangguan Wan'er into her arms and covered her eyes.Seeing this, the young girl seemed to be holding on to something in her heart, she stopped her hand suddenly, and asked softly: "Is she Lingmei?"

This question was asked by Li Lingyue, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but feel ashamed, she was obviously older than Li Lingyue, but she did some ridiculous things, so that others thought she was Li Lingyue's younger sister.

Li Lingyue was a little dazed when she heard that, she shook her head with a smile, she let go of the hand covering Wan'er, and replied, "This is Zhuojing."

Shangguan Wan'er cast a reproachful glance at her, but the girl also laughed softly, "Miss, don't make fun of me, although I'm not very educated, I also know that men's clothes are not only worn by gentlemen."

Shangguan Wan'er was even more ashamed of herself after hearing this, but Li Lingyue felt that this woman had some background, and asked with great interest: "Oh? The lady has good eyesight, so I don't know what to call her?"

"It's just a country woman, not enough for the nobles to worry about." The girl glanced at Li Lingyue's injured ankle, and said with concern, "There are few people living here, if the nobles don't dislike it, why not come to my humble house, there are some herbs in my house, just for the nobles to apply rule."

Li Lingyue glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, and saw that the other party hadn't said anything, so she responded, "That's it, I will trouble the lady. Oh, by the way, this is my sister. She has always been kind-hearted and never sees blood."

Shangguan Wan'er lowered her head and smiled, and said in her heart: I never thought that she would still care about my face at this time.My heart was filled with gratitude again.

After hearing this, the girl hesitated a little, and smiled awkwardly at the two of them, "I'm really sorry, for the sake of food these few days, I still have to stain the eyes of the two of you." As soon as the words fell, she bowed down Body, with both hands dragging, the mountain boar was resisted to the shoulder.

Such brute force surprised Li Lingyue and the others.

"It's really a woman who doesn't give way to a man." Shangguan Wan'er smiled and praised.

There was also a smile in Li Lingyue's eyes, she could bend a bow and had brute strength, this woman was indeed a malleable talent.She nodded and agreed, "Yes."

The two followed the woman all the way to the south, but after a while they came to a thatched hut.

"This is the poor house." The woman threw the wild boar on the ground, straightened her clothes, and then opened the door and walked in, "Ning'er, there are guests at home, come and greet them."

Li Lingyue and the two followed the woman into the house, but found that the interior was more crude than the exterior, there was only a pile of thatch on the left and a pile of thatch on the right.In addition, there was a child in the house with his back facing them. They couldn't see the girl's face clearly, but they could see that her clothes were full of patches.Originally, the child was lying on the thatch, holding a branch to practice calligraphy on the soil, when she heard the woman calling her, she quickly put down the branch, stood up, and saluted the two respectfully, "Hello, two sisters. "

She is a polite little girl.Li Lingyue felt that these two people were not from the countryside, so she stroked the little girl's head, and the little girl led Li Lingyue to sit down on the thatch pile, paying attention to etiquette along the way, and never touched the two of them. .

Li Lingyue sat down with Shangguan Wan'er's support, feeling in her heart: I was extremely particular about traveling in my previous life, but now I feel nothing when sitting on the haystack.Sure enough, people live forever, and they care less about external affairs.She smiled lightly, and said to the little girl, "What a delicate and lovely lady. What should my sister call you?"

"Sister, my surname is Su, and my name is..." The little girl is still young and not vigilant, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the woman came over with herbs, "Isn't Ning'er practicing calligraphy? Go back and continue practicing. " Then he said to Li Lingyue and the two of them: "My lord, let me help you apply the medicine."

"Thank you." Li Lingyue nodded lightly, but she became curious about the word Su in her heart. She remembered that in her previous life, when chatting with the diners, she heard them sigh with emotion, saying that Su Dingfang's heirs in the old general Su's family were so miserable, and his son died in the battle. But two of the three granddaughters were thrown into the wilderness.At that time, those people also said that the two granddaughters were not of good family background, they were not from the main family, and the biological mother was just a prostitute in Pingkangfang.The disaster this time may have been tabooed by the mistress.

The surname is Su, could it be that these two are the two concubines of General Su's family?Just as she was thinking, she saw Shangguan Wan'er squatting beside her, and she couldn't help wondering: "Wan'er, what is this for?"

"Apply the medicine for you." Shangguan Wan'er raised her head and smiled, and that smile swept into Li Lingyue's heart like a spring breeze.When Li Lingyue was young, she was injured because of playfulness, but it was the first time she was cared for by Shangguan Wan'er so tenderly.The first time she experienced it, she couldn't help feeling shy, "Then... I'll trouble my sister."

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head, sat on the ground with her knees bent, carefully removed Li Lingyue's boots and socks, and dragged her ankles onto her knees.Most of the thin ankle was injured right now, and the blood was dripping out.Shangguan Wan'er felt distressed again when she saw it. She picked up the herbal medicine that the woman had pounded, and applied it on according to the instructions. Seeing Li Lingyue clenching her silver teeth in pain, she worried again: "What's wrong? It's my hands." Is it heavy? Or let this lady help you. "

"No, no need." After hearing this, Li Lingyue quickly stopped her, "It's my lack of perseverance, and you did it well."

Shangguan Wan'er frowned and smiled bitterly, and the woman watching from the side couldn't help but chuckled, "You two sisters have such a good relationship."

"En." Shangguan Wan'er lowered her head, thinking: It would be great if it can be like this in the future.Li Lingyue looked at her gentle and shy appearance, raised her head and teased the woman, "Yes, just like you and that girl."

The woman looked back at the child lying on the haystack practicing calligraphy, her expression was pitiful but full of melancholy, "It's a pity..." but she hesitated to speak.

Li Lingyue asked her, "What's the pity?"

The woman smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing, I'm afraid the nobleman's servant will arrive soon, I'll wait at the door, and I'll chop up the boar by the way, and roast some meat for you to eat." Sighed softly , the woman went out.

Li Lingyue nodded her head in thanks, and looked back at the children who were concentrating on practicing calligraphy. She suddenly felt that she had gained a lot by accident this time.Looking down at the woman who carefully applied the medicine in front of her, Li Lingyue felt that she was the most gentle woman in the world, "It's really a misfortune and a blessing."

"Ah Yue is an open-minded person." Shangguan Wan'er just finished applying the herb, put her hands on Li Lingyue's jade feet, hesitating whether to let it go or keep it.

Seeing that she was so helpless, Li Lingyue dragged her left leg onto the haystack, then pulled Shangguan Wan'er into her arms, and laughed, "That's right, I'm a female Taoist priest."

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help being dumbfounded, she struggled to stand up, "Ah Yue, you are full of injuries, I'd better sit beside you."

Li Lingyue hastily stretched out her hand to stop her, and said, "Wan'er don't leave, I'm a little cold, let me Yiyi."

Shangguan Wan'er was helpless again. Although she was grateful for Li Lingyue's thoughtfulness to her, but letting her kiss me and others in front of a little girl was a bit embarrassing, so she reminded: "Ah Yue, there are still people in the house. The little boy is here."

Li Lingyue also felt that doing this in front of a child was somewhat indecent, so she stopped being frivolous, but turned her head and asked the little girl, "Little girl, are you practicing calligraphy?"

The girl responded, "Yes."

Shangguan Wan'er has always loved talents, seeing that this child is still practicing seriously even though he is holding a branch, she can't help feeling sorry for her.She glanced at Li Lingyue, and seeing that the other party had no objection, she stood up and walked over.When walking to the girl's side, she unexpectedly discovered that although the child was young, he had beautiful handwriting, which was really adorable.Xicai's thoughts started to move, she squatted down | body and asked the little girl, "What books have you read?"

The girl raised her head, and took out a volume of "The Collection of Ancient Sages" that was almost torn from under the haystacks. She held the scroll in her arms and cared very much, "Except for this "Collection of Ancient Sages", all my books at home At that time, I also read "Miscellaneous Copy" and "Fu Zi Advice to the World."

"Collection of Ancient Sages", "Miscellaneous Copy" and "Fuzi Persuading the World Ci" are all books that Shangguan Wan'er read when she was a child. It is common for men who go to school, but it is rare for women.Shangguan Wan'er asked again: "Have you finished reading "Thousand Characters" and "Jijiu Pian"?"

The girl nodded, and replied childishly, "Well, I've finished reading."

When Shangguan Wan'er saw the girl, it was like seeing herself in the past, she couldn't help feeling sorry for each other, she stroked the child's hair bun, and asked softly: "Do you usually practice calligraphy like this?"

"En. Usually my sister will teach me with my hand. My sister is very good. She knows a lot of poems and has read "The Analects of Confucius". When mentioning her sister, the girl's eyes are full of admiration.

Shangguan Wan'er heard this, but felt even more sorry for what happened to the two sisters. She turned her head and looked at Li Lingyue, who nodded slightly to her, "If Wan'er likes it, then bring her back to the temple and teach her personally."

It was such a domineering speech again, but Shangguan Wan'er laughed when she heard it, "It also depends on whether people are willing or not."

The two were chatting with the child in the house, but there was a sound of iron tools outside the house, and then the door was knocked open, and a group of guards escorted the woman in, "See Princess, is Your Highness safe?"
