[Wu Zetian colleagues] Wu Lingchun

Time flies, and the years are like weaving.

In the blink of an eye, six years passed quickly between the fingers.

In six years, the wind direction in the palace has quietly changed; in six years, a little girl has grown into a young girl.

Looking at the blurry and familiar face reflected in the bronze mirror, Wan'er couldn't help feeling like a narcissist, "I'm really getting more and more beautiful".

If it is said that she was praised as "classical beauty" in her previous life, then in this life she has become Shangguan Wan'er, and this "classical" charm is even stronger.

People say that "there is a poem and book spirit in the belly", and the six years of study in the palace school are not in vain.The voracious study made her more and more like a scholar of this era.

This kind of bookishness penetrated into her bones, making her gestures naturally have a different kind of demeanor.

Since six years ago, Wan'er had been lucky enough to survive, and Wan'er cherished this chance of being alive very much.

She wants to live a good life, and she wants to be appreciated by Wu Zetian one day like the Shangguan Waner she is familiar with in history.

If this is a dynasty in a parallel time and space, if everything may be different from the history she knows, then, through her efforts, can she become the one who changes history?

Can history be changed?

Wan'er felt that rather than changing history, she was creating history in a parallel time and space.

"Aniang, I'm going to study in the palace." Before leaving the door, Wan'er said goodbye to Mrs. Zheng.

Because of Empress Wu's "grace" six years ago, Wan'er was able to be freed from the busy work of the people in the Yeting Palace. The Zheng family still had to work, and with Xu Jieyu's care, no one dared to make things difficult for her.

In the past six years, the life of the mother and daughter has been peaceful.

However, the lingering fear in Zheng's heart still lingers.

She pulled Wan'er over and straightened Wan'er's clothes: "Be careful, don't say too many things that are inappropriate."

This is a necessary procedure almost every time before going to the palace school, and Wan'er has already gotten used to it.

Like every time she left, she comforted Zheng Shi with a smile: "Don't worry, Madam!"

Zheng Shi didn't let her go to school with a smile this time, but frowned slightly.

"Is there something on your mind?" Wan'er asked considerately.

Zheng Shi then lowered her voice and said: "Recently there are a lot of things in the palace, you have to be more careful when dealing with people in the palace school."

"What happened?" Wan'er asked without answering.

Apart from hearing that His Majesty is ill again, there seems to be nothing else going on in the palace recently!

Mrs. Zheng carefully looked out the window, seeing no one was passing by, she lowered her voice and said, "I heard that the crown prince offended the queen..."

Wan'er was stunned when she heard the words: Prince Li Hong, will he be killed by his mother just like the history of the era she traveled to?

Although Qing knew that woman could do such a thing, when she was really in the situation, Wan'er still felt chilly——

Zheng loves her to the bottom of her heart, and Wan'er can't imagine how she must feel as a mother who kills her own flesh and blood.

Seeing Wan'er's expression, Zheng thought Wan'er was frightened.

Her child, she has raised it for 14 years, she understands.Especially after going through the incident of surviving in front of Empress Wu, coupled with Wan'er's usual words and deeds, Zheng thought her daughter was extremely daring.

She was in a trance for a moment, and suddenly thought that this child was only 14 years old.

At such a young age, I forced myself to study hard every day, spent six years reading a lot of books, and was repeatedly praised by the masters in the palace school. What kind of perseverance is this supposed to be?

This shouldn't be something such a small girl should bear!

If... If the Shangguan family is not defeated, Wan'er should live a life of prosperity and wealth without worrying about food and clothing...

When Zheng thought of this, her heart ached.

She felt that, as a mother, she could not let her child down.

Feeling out of control for a moment, Mrs. Zheng hugged Wan'er in her arms: "My son, don't be afraid, don't be afraid... Mother is here!"

Wan'er was suddenly hugged, and she was really stunned.

Only then did she realize that Zheng thought she was afraid when she heard about the prince?

Wan'er couldn't laugh or cry——

After going through the unimaginable thing of crossing, and surviving under the palm of the unfathomable Empress Wu, what is there for her to be afraid of?

What Wan'er is afraid of now is not being able to live as well as she planned, and not being able to be filial to the Zheng family and die peacefully, right?

"Aniang, don't worry, I'm fine." Wan'er patted Zheng Shi's back lightly, as if Zheng Shi was the one who should be comforted.

Zheng sighed silently, thinking that this child is too sensible, so sensible that he is not like a child, but like a little adult.

Such a stable and smart child won't suffer outside, right?

Zheng thought.

But no matter how much she recognizes her daughter's qualifications, as a mother, when her daughter is not in front of her eyes, her heart can't help but worry about her.

"Aniang, let's listen to other people's talk about palace matters, and just keep them in our hearts and never talk too much. This is the way for us to save our lives." Wan'er said.

Mrs. Zheng nodded: "My son, you are right."

After finishing speaking, she lowered her voice and said, "I just heard what they said, and now the palace may have spread it privately. The prince interceded for the two daughters of the old Concubine Shu, and begged His Majesty to choose a good son-in-law for them to marry. , so the queen was angered. The queen reprimanded the prince, and the prince was frightened out of his wits."

Wan'er listened, frowning slightly.

It seems that although it is a parallel time and space, the trend of history is roughly traceable.

In this time and space, Concubine Xiao Shu's two daughters were also imprisoned in Yeting, and they were not allowed to marry when they reached the age, let alone be free. Prince Li Hong was kind and gentle, and he must have offended Zeng when he interceded for his two half-sisters. Empress Wu who is against Concubine Xiao Shu.

But, is Empress Wu just because she can't see how Concubine Xiao Shu's daughter is doing well?

I'm afraid this is just an excuse for Empress Wu, right?

As Wan'er, she couldn't remember how many times Emperor Gaozong fell ill over the years.

In the history she is familiar with, Emperor Gaozong was tortured by wind disease, so that he was dizzy and unable to deal with the government affairs, so Empress Wu had the opportunity to get in touch with the government affairs.

In the time and space she is in at the moment, although she has no way of knowing whether Empress Wu has the opportunity to get in touch with the government, depending on Emperor Gaozong's lingering sickness, with the shrewd and capable Empress Wu she met back then, she may never Will you let go of such an opportunity?

Therefore, Empress Wu reprimanded Prince Li Hong, not so much because she was annoyed that the prince pleaded for Concubine Xiao Shu's daughters, but because Empress Wu saw that Gaozong's body was getting worse day by day, and she was very worried about the prince who had a good reputation in daily life. Once she ascends the throne in the future, she will have nothing to do.

Come to think of it, this short-lived prince will not have a good death in this time and space, will he?

Thinking of this, Wan'er sighed.

In the future, I don't know how many people will die...

"Snapped--"

A crisp sound brought Wan'er back to her senses.

She raised her head suddenly and met the solemn face of the old man without a beard.

The ruler in the old man's hand just hit her desk.

"Master Guo..." Wan'er knew she had lost her mind, and bowed her head in shame.

Master Guo looked at her with a stern face: "Not paying attention! You should be punished!"

"Yes. The student knows his mistake." Wan'er said obediently.

Seeing that she was being taught, Master Guo's expression softened a little.

But under the watchful eyes of everyone, the rules in the palace school cannot be broken.

"Guo An, take her to be punished." Master Guo said expressionlessly.

As a top student in palace school, Wan'er was punished for the first time.

Seeing her being taken out by the inner eunuch, her classmates couldn't help stretching their necks to watch.

They were frightened by Master Guo's "snapping" sound of the ruler, and they all retracted their heads in fright. Although their minds were still looking at Wan'er, they dared not take their eyes off the book.

Palace school gate.

"Miss Wan'er, put it away." Guo An handed a small bundle to Wan'er.

Wan'er took it in surprise, and looked at Guo An again: "Master Xiao Guo, what is this?"

Guo An was only a few years older than her, and every time she heard her call "Master Xiao Guo", his eyes narrowed into two slits with a smile.

"Father asked me to give it to you," Guo An blinked at Wan'er, "it should be a Buddhist scripture."

He is Master Guo's adopted son, and because of his cleverness and winks, he works as an errand in the palace school.

But why did Master Guo give her a Buddhist scripture?

Isn't she going to punish her for being absent-minded in class?

"Father asked you to take this Buddhist scripture to Jing'an Palace and deliver it to a nobleman. It's considered punishment." Guo An said with a smile.

Jing'an Palace?

Isn't that the other temple of Gaozu?

The noble person in Jing'an Palace, isn't he just...

A name flashed through Wan'er's mind, and she was immediately stunned.

Wan'er calmly asked Guo An the way to Jing'an Palace, thanked Guo An again, and set off.

Along the way, Wan'er kept thinking about the weirdness of this matter——

Is it true that every student who is punished in the palace school will be punished to trek to Jing'an Palace with Buddhist scriptures?

Impossible.

So, Master Guo intentionally gave her a reason to let her go?

Why did Master Guo let her go?

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a trek.

This Tang Palace is too big.

Wan'er didn't go to Jing'an Palace again, and walked all the way quickly. After half an hour, she finally saw the outline of Jing'an Palace.

She stood in front of Jing'an Palace and looked at it.

Where does this Jing'an Palace have the grandeur that a "palace" should have?

There is no one in the vicinity, only the "rustling" sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves, and the "chirping" sound of the occasional flying birds.

Wan'er walked along a natural path towards the palace gate, smelling the elegant scent of green grass, she felt refreshed.

Here, it is really a good place for self-cultivation.

Is such a quiet and peaceful environment really a place where such a character is imprisoned?

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't have the slightest depressing atmosphere!

It is said that it is a paradise, maybe some people will believe it.

Wan'er's footsteps stopped because she suddenly saw a figure at the gate of the palace.

She hurriedly walked a few steps, and saw clearly that it was an old woman with gray hair, wearing a coarse kudzu dress, squatting in front of a flowerbed at the gate of the palace planting flowers.

Wan'er scanned the surroundings, but she didn't find anyone other than the old woman.

So, who is this old woman?

Is it the servant who served the nobleman, or the nobleman himself?

Because what she saw before her eyes was too different from what she thought in her heart, Wan'er couldn't be sure.

Wan'er then stepped forward and bowed to the old woman, "Hello, mother-in-law!"

The old woman didn't seem to hear it at all, and didn't even raise her head.

Wan'er was startled, and thought to herself, could it be that she is deaf?

Wan'er raised her voice again, and bowed to the old woman again: "Hi, mother-in-law! Excuse me..."

Before she finished speaking, the old woman stood up unexpectedly, as if she didn't see such a living person like Wan'er, she turned around and walked towards the palace gate.

Wan'er: "..."

Seeing the palace door opened and closed again from the inside, Wan'er stood there dumbfounded.

This is her, she got rejected?
