As Wan'er expected, Taiping then said something like this——

"I don't know how Your Majesty was persuaded by my mother. Maybe he never thought of opposing her... In short, during this month, the decision of the court's major affairs still belongs to the mother; the mother acted vigorously and resolutely. All the ministers and workers dare not slack off in the slightest, and only want to serve the country. Even Mr. Pei... only mother is the leader."

Although Taiping spoke in a cryptic manner, Wan'er understood the meaning of her words.

That is to say, during this short month, the Empress Dowager Wu had brought the courtiers into obedience, and everyone had only the Empress Dowager in their eyes, not the emperor.Including Gu Ming Minister Pei Yan, they only listened to the Empress Dowager Wu.

"Your Majesty is extremely filial, suffering from the death of the late Emperor, the Empress Dowager shared the worries for the parents and children, and comforted the late Emperor's spirit in heaven." Wan'er said.

Taiping raised his brows, as if he didn't realize Wan'er's "official tone" for a while.

After a blink of an eye, Taiping's expression immediately returned to normal: "Mother is indeed sharing the worries of Father and His Majesty."

Seeing her expression of "I agree with you very much", Wan'er couldn't help laughing secretly.

In fact, why does Wan'er like to wear a mask to be a human being?Why does Wan'er want to be a "political animal"?

However, the reality is compelling.

In the vortex of this era, if Wan'er wants to settle down and become the kind of person she wants to be, she must learn and even be good at wearing a certain mask on certain occasions to live.

So, who does she really want to be?

Wan'er's fingers unconsciously touched the delicate glaze of the porridge bowl on the table.

So how delicate?

After all, it is a dead thing.

It's not as good as when you hug that person tightly, from body to soul... blazing.

There are also two clumps of blazing heat in Wan'er's eyes.

The previous story was almost done, Taiping continued a few more sentences, and then thought about getting into the topic.

She looked around half a circle around the room where the two were, and finally her eyes fell on Wan'er's face: "Shangguan intends to live here forever?"

Wan'er was alarmed: here comes the important point.

Her face remained unchanged, and she said gently: "Your Highness thinks, can I leave here?"

Taiping coughed uncomfortably when she asked her back.

In fact, they are all clear in their hearts——

Wasn't the reason why Wan'er was stuck here and couldn't leave because she disobeyed the Empress Dowager Wu?

Taiping has no way of knowing what kind of quarrel exists between her mother and Wan'er, but she has observed the situation in recent days, combined with the fact that her mother greeted Wan'er in person that day, even had a feud with her eldest grandson, and later went back to the Eastern Capital by herself, Taiping felt apprehensive.

Given the current situation and Shangguan's temperament, can Shangguan really agree to that matter?

"Shangguan doesn't want to leave here?" Taiping asked as if confronting Wan'er.

The little princess looks so competitive, although she is still immature, but Wan'er has already seen the resemblance of Empress Wu from between her eyebrows.

Wan'er lost her mind for a moment, then smiled leisurely: "Your Highness came with orders, right? You might as well speak up."

Then he said with a regretful face: "It's never up to me to stay or go. Your Highness knows."

This time it was Taiping who lost his mind——

Wan'er pointed at the vital point first, and then showed weakness in her aura...

Taiping could see clearly, but he still couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when Wan'er showed a regretful expression.

Taiping felt uncomfortable because of his mother's arbitrariness, and he couldn't help but think "why doesn't mother cherish a good girl like Shangguan?"

Thinking in this way, Taiping couldn't help feeling the urge to "I can't just sit back and watch Shangguan ignore him like this".

She was then horrified by these sudden thoughts.

Casting a resentful glance at Wan'er, Taiping curled his lips, thinking that a woman like Shangguan is really terrible.

In terms of mind, he is no less than his mother, but different from his mother's fierceness and sense of oppression, Shangguan's method is more like water dripping through stone, moistening things silently, and the opponent may have been tricked unconsciously.

Taiping sighed inwardly.

She claims to be smart, but "such a woman" still thinks that only a mother can control it, right?

Suppressing the unwillingness to lose in the IQ struggle, Taiping still remembers his mission on this trip.

"My mother is currently handling state affairs, with a lot of time to manage, and the people who serve her are busy every day. However, the manpower in the palace is limited, especially the palace people who are knowledgeable and able to help mother. It is rare in thousands of miles One. So—”

Taiping suddenly paused and looked up at Wan'er.

Wan'er also looked back at her.

Taiping was a little disappointed that he didn't see more expressions of anticipation on Wan'er's face.

She had no choice but to continue honestly: "That's why my mother issued an imperial edict to recruit noble women from officials and nobles to enter the palace as female officials to assist mother."

Although Taiping said it cryptically, Wan'er already understood.

Empress Dowager Wu was never short of competent people, such as Chai Yun and Zhao Ying, there were so many people working for her inside and outside the palace that Wan'er didn't know.

Moreover, in the huge Tang Palace, how many people can't be found?

Wasn't she calling for talents with great fanfare just to let herself enter the palace with a different identity?

Wan'er bit her lips with her white teeth, her lips lost all color from being bitten, and she didn't even feel it.

She already understood the intention of Empress Dowager Wu——

Is Empress Dowager Wu disliking her status as "the first emperor's concubine"?

Empress Dowager Wu probably wants to change her name and identity, right?

As long as she can enter the palace smoothly and accompany her by her side, can the Empress Dowager Wu have more plans?

Wan'er didn't know how others would react if this kind of thing happened to others.

If someone else faced this kind of thing, would they happily agree, and then enter the palace in a fancy dress?

After all, the person who gives orders in the palace is her lover, and also the person who can give her infinite glory and power.

But, Wan'er can't do it!

She smiled coldly.

Seeing that Liang Sensen's smile, Taiping's heart felt colder than that Liang Sensen's.

"Isn't there a long-standing rule in the palace that after the death of the late emperor, concubines without children entered the temple to practice?" Wan'er's voice was as cool as water.

Taiping was taken aback by her question and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

So, Shangguan meant that she was more willing to choose to practice in a temple than to change her identity and pretend to enter the palace?

Without warning, Taiping suddenly thought of the rumors about her father and mother...

So, is Shangguan trying to imitate?

"It is true that several concubines of my father voluntarily went to the temple to cultivate..." Taiping glanced carefully at Wan'er.

She specially emphasized the premise of "voluntary", because she was afraid that Wan'er would make some terrible decisions.

"Then the queen mother wants my concubine to shave off all these three thousand troubles?" Wan'er laughed, but her voice was utterly cold.

Taiping was shivering from the cold, squinting at Miao Wan'er's black hair.

If she dared to nod her head and caused Wan'er to lose even a strand of hair, would her mother question her?

Once again imagining Wan'er's bald head after losing her hair, Taiping quickly shook her head.

What kind of stunning beauty is not good-looking like that!

"Shangguan was joking. How can mother be willing?" Taiping said with a smile on his face.

Seeing that Wan'er's cold face didn't improve, Taiping persuaded patiently: "Mother really cares about you. I have never seen my mother care about the second person so much since I was a child. .Actually, the so-called 'following interests', wouldn't Shangguan be happy if he could get together with his mother in the palace for a long time?"

Wan'er still pursed her lips and remained silent.

Taiping wasn't sure if she listened to her heart, so he continued: "Nowadays, there are several officials surnamed Shangguan in the court. Mother has considered everything carefully, and will definitely choose an appropriate one..."

This is to let Wan'er pretend to be the daughter of an official surnamed Shangguan and enter the palace, so that she can get rid of her former title of "concubine of the first emperor".

When Taiping heard this idea for the first time, he also felt awkward.

But she thought she couldn't hold back her mother, so she could only bite the bullet and try to convince Wan'er for her mother.

"Is your surname Shangguan?" Wan'er chuckled suddenly.

"My surname is Shangguan, so I can randomly recognize someone with the surname Shangguan as my ancestor?" Wan'er's eyes fixed on Taiping.

Taiping's throat tightened under her stare.

Taiping knew that this matter was by no means that simple.

"The Shangguan family in Tianshui is not a famous family, but it has a name of thousands of years. The Shangguan family was the Zhu Kingdom in the Han Dynasty, and there was a prime minister in this dynasty... Your Highness thinks that such a family background is an ordinary family with the surname Shangguan. Is a petty official comparable?" Wan'er scoffed.

Taiping was dumbfounded.

Wan'er is not saying that her background is extraordinary, she is clearly pointing out that her mother is the one who killed Shangguanyi and Shangguan's family!

There is still a deep hatred between them across the sea of ​​blood!

Taiping secretly blamed himself for forgetting such an important thing.

The only thing to blame is that Wan'er got along so well with Empress Wu in the palace before, so harmoniously that almost everyone forgot that there was a bloody feud between them.

That's it, my mother still wants people to recognize others as ancestors...

Taiping feels that this matter cannot be justified.

Killing someone's relatives, causing their orphans and widows to be confiscated into the court, and finally getting ahead, but also forcing them to deny their ancestors and ignore the revenge of killing their relatives, no one can get through this matter!

Taiping was thinking about how to explain to his mother, how to calm down the matter, when he suddenly saw Wan'er get up abruptly.

Taiping had an ominous premonition.

"Sir—"

As soon as Taiping's voice fell, Wan'er just stood up, her movements were more decisive than her, she rushed to the side, grabbed the small gold scissors used for needlework, and cut off a strand of her hair in an instant.

Taiping saw the black hair slipping down with the "click" of the scissors, one head suddenly turned into two big ones.

Wan'er put aside the scissors, walked back, and spread out her palms to Taiping expressionlessly: "Your Highness, please pass this thing on to the Queen Mother. I just said that if the Queen Mother allows it, I would like to follow what the Queen Mother did in the past."

Taiping just wanted to faint immediately, so he didn't have to worry about the troublesome matter in front of him.

If my mother saw this strand of hair, if she heard what she said about Wan'er, wouldn't she strangle herself to death?
