Empress Reborn

Time flies, spring, summer, autumn and winter pass by one by one, and in a blink of an eye, we arrive at Chunwei.

As night fell, Su Muning stood alone at the window, looked up at the bright moon and murmured: "Sister..."

"Ning'er." Shangguan Wan'er approached suddenly.After calling her softly, Su Muning hurriedly turned around to greet her, "Sir."

Shangguan Wan'er knew that she missed her sister, so she comforted her softly: "I received the battle report today, saying that Tubo Zanpu proposed peace, and the Zhai family has already sent someone to go. If the talk goes well, your sister will come back in a few days. .”

Su Muning thought about the distance between Tubo and Luoyang, and couldn't help worrying, "I don't know if my sister can make it."

Shangguan Wan'er smiled softly, "Before the expedition, the Zhai family accepted her to watch the palace examination. If she can't make it, the Zhai family will postpone it, so there is no need to worry."

Su Muning nodded slowly, and suddenly said timidly: "But will this be bad for others?"

This disciple of hers really thought of others.Shangguan Wan'er stroked the little disciple's head, "This is not your concern. The exam is coming soon, so you should concentrate on taking the exam."

"Yes." Su Muning responded obediently, thinking that she was about to take the exam with Jiang Wanrong, she couldn't help laughing.In the past half a year or so, she has been with Jiang Wanrong almost every day. Although they mostly discuss academics, the relationship between the two of them has become much closer than before.It was you who called me "Ning'er", and I called you "Sister Rong".But even though the relationship is so close, Su Muning still hasn't changed her competitive temperament, and her sister is going to triumph again, and the two sides are stacked, and she wants to win a prize to avenge her shame.

After making up her mind, Su Muning smiled brightly, "Don't worry, Mr. Ning'er will do her best."

■

Studying hard every day and fighting with enthusiasm does not mean absolute success, the world is so cruel and unpredictable.

"What? Ning'er didn't win the leader?" Li Lingyue couldn't help being surprised when she heard Shangguan Wan'er explaining the results of the exam. She couldn't help laughing, "It's that Jiang Wanrong who got the leader again?"

Shangguan Wan'er nodded, "Ning'er was ranked second, but unexpectedly she lost to her again this time."

Li Lingyue smiled emotionally and said, "This Jiang Wanrong is quite talented, and she overwhelmed your disciple twice. I'm a little curious about what she will look like in the imperial examination."

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at her, and before she could say anything, Li Lingyue changed her words consciously, holding her hand and coaxing her: "I just want to know whether Jiang Wanrong won the championship twice because of the examiner's favor, or if she really has great talent. As you know, the current examiners are all men, it is inevitable that some people will not understand you and me, and it is not a bad idea to know that Ning'er is your disciple who deliberately tripped you up."

Shangguan Wan'er smiled casually: "You don't need to say these things to coax me. I also met Jiang Huiyuan when she was studying with Ning'er. She is indeed very knowledgeable. Ning'er has always been in the palace, and her knowledge is far behind her."

Li Lingyue raised her eyebrows and said: "Since that's the case, then I will ask about the palace affairs during the palace examination."

Shangguan Wan'er was dumb, and said angrily: "You are not allowed to cheat for personal gain."

"As ordered." Li Lingyue laughed, seeing Shangguan Wan'er was about to get up from her arms, she hurriedly stopped her and said, "It's time, where are you going?"

"Go to teach Ning'er." After finishing speaking, he got up and left.

Li Lingyue smiled wryly, "Aren't you afraid of ruining Ning'er and Jiang Huiyuan's good deeds at this hour?"

■

When Shangguan Wan'er went there, she did see Jiang Wanrong, but she didn't spoil the good things of the two of them, and the two of them didn't make any intimate moves, they just chatted under the moon.

"Ning'er has something on her mind?" Jiang Wanrong asked softly.Su Muning shook her head, but with a sigh, she revealed her thoughts fully.

Jiang Wanrong has been in that kind of place for a long time, and it is no problem to observe the words and demeanor. She knows that Su Muning is still a child at heart, and with a smile on her face, she asks softly: "Is Ning'er concerned about the ranking?"

When Su Muning's thoughts were revealed, she suddenly became embarrassed, and hurriedly waved her hand to stop her: "Rong, Sister Rong, Ning'er never questioned, you have to convince Yuan Ning'er."

Seeing her cowardly look eager to defend herself with her head down, Jiang Wanrong smiled, stroked her head and said, "Silly girl."

"Huh?" Su Muning's face was flushed, she raised her head in confusion, and saw those smiling eyes, her heart trembled, "I, I..."

"Okay. I know you are dissatisfied with yourself." Jiang Wanrong smiled gently, she looked at Su Muning and said, "Ning'er, do you want to know why I take the imperial examination?"

Su Muning nodded in response, "Yes."

Jiang Wanrong smiled, "I didn't do it to glorify my family, if I could, I just wanted to be an ordinary woman, but my family died, if I didn't work hard, I could only be an official woman who pleases others. Do you know the pain of laughing every day? I can’t choose the doormen, they call me, I will go there, call me “know”, it’s just a prostitute who sings a few poems to cater to them. Fortunately, I have read a few times Nian Shu, better than others." Speaking of this, she couldn't help but her eyes were red, she shook her head, and forced a smile, "What are you talking about? You just pretend that I just drank a few more drinks and talked nonsense. .”

Su Muning pursed her lips, Jiang Wanrong's words had already touched her, and she was not the only one with ill-fated fate in this world? "Sister Rong." Su Muning called softly, her face full of sincerity, "I understand. In fact, I...I..."

Seeing that Su Muning wanted to mention the matter of the Su family, Shangguan Wan'er was worried that she would lose her voice and reveal Su Muzhen's identity, so she stopped her and said, "Ning'er."

Su Muning stopped her mouth at the right time, and greeted Jiang Wanrong together, "Sir." "Zander."

Jiang Wanrong glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, and found an excuse to leave.

Su Muning showed regret, Shangguan Wan'er looked at the blush on her face, and sighed softly, "Are you drinking too? It's windy outside, go inside."

With her head down, Su Muning walked in with her husband step by step.

Shangguan Wan'er saw that she was full of shame, and her face softened and said: "I didn't blame you for drinking, you can still do this when you grow up. It's just that people's hearts are unpredictable, and it's also my fault that your sister and I protect you too well .”

"Sir." Su Muning raised her head, and it was rare to refute the teacher she respected, "Ning'er knows that people's hearts are unpredictable, but Ning'er also knows that Sister Rong is not a bad person."

Shangguan Wan'er looked at the disciple standing upright in front of her, bent her lips and smiled softly, "Okay. I wanted to teach you a lesson, but seeing how you look today, I'd better wait another day."

A look of shame appeared on Su Muning's face, seeing that Shangguan Wan'er was about to leave, she quickly gathered her sleeves and said in a low voice: "Sir, Ning'er didn't drink too much, Ning'er is clear-headed. Don't be angry with your disciple, sir, Ning'er thought." Listen to your lecture."

The little red face said aggrieved words, Shangguan Wan'er knew that her little disciple still wanted to win the first prize in the imperial examination, so she smiled helplessly, she withdrew her disciple's hand, took her to the case, and said softly: "Let's start. "

■

Ten days later, Tubo finally couldn't bear the situation of repeated defeats and heavy losses of military property, and agreed to pay tribute to the Great Zhou every year and become a subsidiary of the Great Zhou.

Ashina Fuli happily said: "Before hitting their house, people admit defeat, it's really boring. But Mu Zhen, we can go back to see Ning'er."

"Well, Zhai's family has agreed that we take some people back first. It's just that Helong is the border between me and Tubo, so we must guard it. I still need some cronies to stay here." Su Muzhen replied, and she couldn't help coughing Twice.Ashina Fuli hastily embraced her shoulders and smoothed her back, "Why are you coughing again? Are you still recovering from typhoid fever?"

Su Muzhen smiled and waved her hands, "I'm fine, I'll be fine when I get back to Luoyang to rest."

Ashinafu Li clicked his lips, "Ning'er's palace test is coming soon, you have to hurry back to see her in class. No way!" He suddenly looked down, and said with a smile: "I will write a letter to Zhaijia , tell Zhaijia not to wait for us, and start the palace test first."

"Fu Li." Su Muzhen frowned, not out of fear, but with a hint of prayer, "Ning'er..."

"Needless to say." Ashina Fuli blocked her mouth with his index finger, and persuaded in a deep voice, "I know that you feel sorry for my sister and want to see her in the palace test. But have you ever thought that you might affect Ning'er. Ning'er hasn't won the leader these few times, she must have put all her strength into the palace test, your elder sister is like her god, if you are present, what if she gets nervous and makes a mistake? Hmm?"

Su Muzhen lowered her eyes and pursed her lips into a line, feeling a little guilty, "You are right. But I..."

"Okay, let's settle here quickly, and go back to celebrate Ning'er after the palace test is over." Ashina Fuli smiled like a flower.

Su Muzhen nodded, "Okay." She still had to say something, but was pushed down by Fu Li on the bed, "Stop talking, you should have a good rest first, I'll see who is suitable to stay."

"Fuli." Su Muzhen called her, Ashina Fuli turned her head, "Huh?"

Su Muzhen thought about it: "Let's take General Qiu back together."

"Qiu Shenji?" Ashina Fuli frowned, "He is very happy, and he is ruthless. It is his great fortune not to die on the battlefield. Take him back?" After a pause, he said: "That's fine, anyway. It’s useless here, and it’s possible to kill the people of Tubo for the sake of the battle. Take it back and let the Zhai family punish him for offending him!”

"Yes." Su Muzhen smiled bitterly.

■

Great Zhou Luoyang Palace.

"The battlefield is vigorous and resolute, how can you be so soft-hearted about this matter." Li Lingyue sighed, obsessed with the bulletin sent from the border area.Shangguan Wan'er fetched the letter, read it carefully, and asked, "You asked Mu Zhen to find something in the frontier to kill Qiu Shenji?"

Li Lingyue nodded, "If I knew she was so soft-hearted, I shouldn't have entrusted this matter to her back then, it's better to leave it to Fu Li."

"She once fought with Qiu Shenji, so it's inevitable that she couldn't bear it. It's just..." Shangguan Wan'er twisted the letter, and slightly curled the corners of her lips, "She didn't come to Ning'er's palace examination, so I don't know what Ning'er would think. It's been almost a month, and it's time for the Zhai family to prepare for the imperial examination."

"Listen to Madam." Li Lingyue took Shangguan Wan'er into her arms and said affectionately, "You decide the ranking this time."

"If I decide, I'm afraid they will say I'm playing for selfishness." Shangguan Wan'er laughed.

But Li Lingyue didn't care, "You decide, I'll announce. I'll listen to some ministers. That's right, has there been rumors about the separation of men and women these days, that women must be inferior to men?"

Shangguan Wan'er nodded, and Li Lingyue said again: "Since that's the case, I will let men and women take the same exam in this palace. Tell them to see how inferior our daughter's family is to them."

"House wise." Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly.Li Lingyue picked up her chin and looked at her carefully, looking at the blush on that face, she smiled and said: "My Wan'er is still so beautiful. How about giving me some rewards tonight?"

"Okay." Shangguan Wan'er responded softly, and in a short while, the room was full of spring.

■

Thinking that Su Muzhen wanted to wait for her sister to return after the palace examination, Li Lingyue deliberately delayed the palace examination for a few days.In the Luocheng hall, the scholars of today's science gathered together, and the men and women together filled the entire hall.

Li Lingyue posed questions one by one, while Shangguan Wan'er and other ministers were watching. Looking at everyone's replies, the ministers were shocked to realize that the male and female students in the hall were almost the same, especially Jiang Wanrong and Su Muning in the girls' school, who were even better than those male students. A little bit, can't help but feel ashamed, before they and others lamented how a woman can enter the court as an official.How short!

Several hours later, Li Lingyue glanced at the ministers present, and ordered everyone to list the three elements in their hearts.The minister wrote as he said, and Li Lingyue looked at the papers handed over by those people, and then at Shangguan Wan'er's paper. Then she glanced at Wan'er with a smile, and declared, "The one in my heart has come out. Today The leader of the list is Su Muning, and Jiang Wanrong is second. It's a pity for Jiang Huiyuan, Mrs. Su's answer to the last question is deeper than yours."

Su Muning and Jiang Wanrong kowtowed in gratitude.Li Lingyue announced the rankings of the rest of them, and the palace examination was over.

"Ning'er." Out of the examination room, Jiang Wanrong called Su Muning to her, and congratulated her, "Congratulations, you did well in the palace examination today."

Su Muning smiled slightly, her heart was filled with joy, and her whole body was filled with joy. She looked at Jiang Wanrong's face without any regrets, and happily hugged her hands together, "Sister Rong, thank you. If it weren't for you to teach me for many days , I will definitely not be so advanced."

Jiang Wanrong smiled slightly and said, "I'm just studying with you. Ning'er doesn't need to be overly modest, I'm at your age and I don't have your knowledge."

The compliment made Su Muning's face burn, she lowered her head slightly, and said shyly, "Sister Rong."

Seeing Su Muning's little daughter's heart, Jiang Wanrong also liked it very much, she patted the other's hand that was holding her, and said with a light smile: "Okay, Zhuangyuan Lang, Xander is still waiting for you to go back to celebrate, I will Excuse me, I will invite you to a banquet another day." Tapping the tip of Su Muning's nose, Jiang Wanrong left the place.

■

That night, Li Lingyue hosted a banquet, and together with Shangguan Wan'er and her daughter, they congratulated Su Muning on winning the title.During the banquet, Xiao Xuan'er praised Master Ning so much that she could only hear that Su Muning's cheeks were blushing.

Li Lingyue looked at the thin-skinned child, winked at Shangguan Wan'er, and said lightly: "Ning'er, count the time, your sister should return tomorrow. Originally, I wanted Wan'er to accompany you to greet her, but There are so many political affairs recently, I think it's better to let Mrs. Jiang, the second place in the new department, accompany you, what do you think?"

Sister Rong.Su Muning's heart trembled slightly, she lowered her head and said respectfully, "Ning'er will follow the house's order."

Li Lingyue curled her lips, Shangguan Wan'er gave her a scolding look, and shook her head helplessly.

■

Before dawn the next day, Su Muning got up early, thinking that the emperor ordered Jiang Wanrong to accompany her, she just sat up and lay down again: it's so early to let sister Rong sleep more.

Thinking of going out of the imperial city to meet her sister, Su Muning didn't feel sleepy even when she was lying on the bed. She stared straight at the beam, and after a while, she heard a soft call from outside the door, "Ning'er, are you awake?"

It was Jiang Wanrong.Su Muning sat up in a jerk, put on her clothes and got out of bed, opened the door and saw that Jiang Wanrong was fully dressed, she couldn't help but feel ashamed, "Sister Rong, it's not yet dawn, why don't you sleep more?"

Jiang Wanrong smiled softly: "You often tell me about General Su, I think you are worried about him. No problem, if you are sleepy, you can sleep more, I will wait here."

"Ah. No need." Su Muning waved her hands quickly, and while welcoming Jiang Wanrong into the room, she said with a smile, "Sister Rong, wait for me, I'll go change and freshen up."

Seeing Su Muning running away in a hurry, Jiang Wanrong's peach eyes showed a smile, "Slow down, be careful not to fall."

■

Luoyang Palace, the Palace of Longevity.

"In order to meet Mu Zhen, I took a rest, and even arranged for Ning'er to say that she is busy with government affairs." Shangguan Wan'er teased Li Lingyue while combing the comb down her black hair.Li Lingyue stroked her bun, looked in the mirror that she looked good, then stood up and pushed Shangguan Wan'er up, "Okay lady, now it's time for your husband to help you draw eyebrows."

Dragging her chin with one hand, Li Lingyue held a charcoal pencil and drew on Shangguan Wan'er's eyebrows, and the two breathed for air.After a while, Li Lingyue put the charcoal pencil down, and then took the rouge and splashed it on Wan'er's cheek, "Tell me later, what will Mu Zhen look like when she sees Ning'er following other women?"

Shangguan Wan'er looked at her from the mirror, "The king of a country is not serious."

The two of them were talking and laughing, when a maid outside reported that she had received an urgent letter from Su Muzhen, Shangguan Wan'er took the letter, opened it, her peaceful face instantly changed, her fingertips trembled slightly Then, she called out, "Ah Yue."

"Wan'er?" Li Lingyue hurriedly got up and walked over, embracing Wan'er's shoulder with one hand, and holding back Wan'er's trembling hand with the other, her gaze followed the letter paper, and she, who was usually calm, couldn't help panicking, "This... This is impossible! How could..."

Shangguan Wan'er closed her eyes, and Li Lingyue hugged her tightly, thinking about the words in the letter, her face filled with sadness.There were not a few lines written in the letter, but every word was smeared with blood: On the way back, there was an accident, Qiu Shenji rebelled, General Su Qin swore to fight against the enemy, and unfortunately died.

"Mu Zhen..." Li Lingyue called softly, her voice trembling, no longer as majestic as before, "It took some time for the letter to arrive, so it's time for them to come back. Wan'er, where's Ning'er?"

"Ning'er..." Shangguan Wan'er opened her eyes with pity, "She left the palace earlier."

■

The cold wind was bleak, but Su Muning only felt refreshed. Standing on the city wall, on the left was Sister Rong, who made her heart throb, and in front of her was the way she was eagerly looking forward to her sister's return.

"Sister, I'm finally going to see you." Su Muning was thinking silently, with a smile on her face.
