[Wu Zetian colleagues] Wu Lingchun

If you heard Xue Jieyu say that Wan'er's astonishment was feigned when today's son was her disciple, then when she heard Xue Jieyu say that Xu Hui was her second disciple, Wan'er would Really shocked.

Xu Hui, is that Xu Hui?

Taizong's concubine was known for her virtue and talent; after Taizong's death, she became sick with admiration and refused to take medicine. The Xu Hui of Taizong's Zhaoling.

Is it her?

The Xu Hui in Wan'er's memory is like this.

When Wan'er first learned about the concubine Xu Xian's deeds in her last life, she actually didn't like her very much.

Looking at the historical records, this woman is clearly a foolish person who was persecuted by feudal ethics and honored by it.

Even if persuading Emperor Taizong to be diligent and thrifty is a good virtue, even if many people believe that her death in love is the so-called infatuation, Wan'er thinks this woman is too stupid.

The most precious thing in a person is life. For a harem of three thousand beauties, a man who will never come here for the rest of his life. Luckily, he took his most precious life. Fortunately, she is also well-educated and knowledgeable.

However, maybe it was because she had read too much, and read the books that men in the ethical society brainwashed women had ruined her mind, and she made such a move.

Maybe, she was also moved by herself at that time!

How could such a person be Xue Jieyu's disciple, who also studied Buddhism with Xue Jieyu?

Wan'er felt it was incredible.

Based on what she knew about Xue Jieyu in the past two days, Xue Jieyu was not the kind of person whose brains had been washed out by patriarchal ethics.

On the contrary, Xue Jieyu is actually an old man with great personality.

This kind of personality is different from Empress Wu's domineering look, which is another kind of detached feeling.

Will such an extraordinary Xue Jieyu cultivate a pedantic disciple?

Unless, in this parallel time and space, Xu Hui and the Xu Hui that Wan'er knows are two people with completely different personalities, otherwise, Wan'er can't believe that Xu Hui is Xue Jieyu's disciple.

Well, Xu Hui is still her senior sister.

In the history that Wan'er is familiar with, she doesn't remember any intersection between Xu Hui and Xue Jieyu.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in Wan'er's mind——

As Xue Jieyu said, Xu Hui is her senior sister.Today, she is still her senior brother!

After realizing this, Wan'er rounded her mouth in astonishment.

She seemed to understand why Xue Jieyu had no fear in the face of the "obscene power" exerted on her by Empress Wu.

No matter how domineering Empress Wu is, she is still the empress of the Tang Dynasty; no matter how sick the emperor is, he is still in power now.

As for herself, as the "Emperor's Junior Sister", even if Empress Wu hated herself to the bone, she would not dare to do anything to herself.

However, did Xue Jieyu accept herself as a disciple just to save her own life?

Wan'er doesn't think so.

She confidently believed that she must have something that Xue Jieyu would like.

Otherwise, Empress Wu killed and wanted to kill a lot of people, how come Xue Jieyu doesn't see them covering them?

Wan'er has traveled to this time and space, and it has been 14 years now, and for the first time, she has the feeling of her "fate".

Maybe this is the blessing from "Shangguan Wan'er"?

Regardless of whether she, Shangguan Wan'er, has the same fate as "that Shangguan Wan'er", in short, it is what she can foresee now: as long as the emperor is still alive, as long as Xue Jieyu can still protect her, she and her mother can live well.

And in this unknown period of time, she wanted to do everything possible to make herself stronger, strong enough to keep herself and her mother safe.

Wan'er has a good senior brother and a good master to protect her, so she is at ease.

Xue Jieyu accepted a good apprentice and was satisfied.

Empress Wu was not in such a good mood as they were. She was so angry that Xue Jieyu's behavior of accepting disciples made her nose crooked.

Thinking about how she had tried to persuade Xue Jieyu to accept Wan'er, a highly qualified apprentice, Empress Wu felt that she must have been out of her mind at that time!

Does this count as shooting yourself in the foot?

So she kept a cold face, looked at Wan'er, and snorted twice.

Little girl, I'm out of tune. I teach you very well!

Do you think that if you are in this way, I can do nothing for you?

This Palace of the Tang Dynasty is still in charge of this palace!

"The Venerable Master has taken in a good disciple!" Empress Wu said coldly.

When Wan'er heard her say the word "good", she squeezed it out between her teeth, as if she had been bitten between her teeth, biting and crushing at will, and her back felt chilly. chill.

Wan'er already had a premonition that "Empress Wu will never let it go".

Xue Jieyu looked at Empress Wu with a half-smile, as if seeing Empress Wu made her very happy: "Thank you, Empress Empress!"

When Empress Wu heard her say thank you, the roots of her teeth itched even more, she laughed dryly twice, and really felt that she was a fool before.

However, I am annoyed, empress Wu, who should have the dignity of a queen, would not send her away, so she raised her jaw and said: "This kind of thing is worthy of congratulations. After I return, I will present a congratulatory gift to my majesty together with your majesty." people."

Xue Jieyu smiled slightly: "Thanks to Your Majesty's favor, old age is not bad for food and clothing. If you are willing, please Your Majesty and Empress Empress, give a generous gift to this newly added little junior sister!"

"Naturally, I want to give a generous gift!" Empress Wu smiled so much that it couldn't be called a smile.

Wan'er shrank her neck, wishing that Empress Wu would not give any "rich gifts".

Xue Jieyu didn't want Empress Wu to scare her good apprentice again, so she asked Empress Wu to move quickly.

Empress Wu knew she was driving her away.

It's getting late, it's time to go back.

But just going back like this, Empress Wu was really not reconciled.

Empress Wu snorted and sneered: "What the Master said is that this palace should go back to serve His Majesty with medicine."

The devil would believe you would do such a gentle and considerate thing.

The corners of Xue Jieyu's mouth twitched, too lazy to expose her.

Empress Wu glanced at Wan'er who was still kneeling on the ground, squinted her eyes, and said leisurely: "The Master has a good disciple, should he be disciplined strictly? I heard that there is a saying in the folk saying, 'The elder grandson, the younger son, the old man Wife's life. Genzi'. The Master has no grandchildren, isn't this girl the Master's youngest son?"

Rao Xue Jieyu was self-cultivated, so she couldn't help rolling her big eyes.

What about "fate and roots", is this something that nobles in the deep palace should say?

But this girl was always outspoken and bold, so Xue Jieyu didn't bother to argue with her.

"Love is one thing, teaching is another." Xue Jieyu said sternly, implying that she would never lose control of Wan'er because of love.

"Oh—is that so?" Empress Wu smiled.

When Wan'er heard her deliberately elongated voice, she had a bad premonition in her heart.

What kind of schemes is this woman planning?

Wan'er's heart trembled, she felt that the calculation must have something to do with herself.

"What? Empress Dowager has something to say?" Xue Jieyu squinted at Empress Wu.

Empress Wu chuckled, pretending to unintentionally straighten the cuffs, and finally flicked her fingertips on the cuffs, as if flicking away a few grains of dust there.

Wan'er's back stiffened, and she felt that she was the one who got bounced off...

Empress Wu said slowly: "What I want to say is that the Venerable Master indulged his disciples, without my orders, trespassing here and interrupting my prayers. How can I punish this mistake?"

Wan'er knew that if she was willing to give up easily, then she would not be Empress Wu herself.

Therefore, she cannot die, and a punishment must be inevitable.

In view of her humble status, and at this moment she had Xue Jieyu, a teacher, advocating for her, Wan'er lowered her eyebrows and remained silent.

Xue Jieyu really spoke up for her: "Zhao Ying was called away by the old man. If it is said that Wan'er disturbed the empress, then the culprit is the old man. If the empress wants to punish, let the old man be punished!"

Wan'er raised her head in amazement.

How could she let Xue Jieyu suffer on her behalf?

Empress Wu cast a sideways glance at Wan'er, thinking that this little girl has some conscience.

Then he smiled at Xue Jieyu and said, "The Venerable Master said this in order to let His Majesty and this Palace bear the crime of committing crimes against the superiors and young Ling!"

Bullying the master, but bullying the elders with a young age?

Xue Jieyu snorted coldly, noncommittal, thinking that you did not do enough to commit the above crimes?

Empress Wu laughed and said, "I think that the Master has just accepted his apprentice, so he is partial to the youngest son!"

Xue Jieyu's eyes were sharp, and she was about to argue with her again, anyway, she was not allowed to hurt Wan'er.

Wan'er rushed to pay homage: "It was Wan'er who behaved rudely and offended the Queen of Heaven, it has nothing to do with Mr.! If the Queen of Heaven wants to punish, please punish Wan'er!"

She can't let Xue Jieyu suffer for her, this is one of them.

Second, Wan'er has already noticed that there is a delicate balance between Empress Wu and Xue Jieyu, and she does not know the reason for it. Because of the relationship between the emperor and Xue Jieyu, and because of this delicate balance, although Empress Wu He frequently bickered with Xue Jieyu, but he didn't seriously embarrass Xue Jieyu.Wan'er hopes to maintain this balance, and she absolutely refuses to be the one who breaks the balance.

In that case, it would not be a good thing for her or Xue Jieyu.

Seeing Wan'er being so sensible, Xue Jieyu frowned.

She stared at Wan'er's face thoughtfully, as if recalling many past memories from Wan'er's face.

Empress Wu smiled deeply: "You little girl, how dare you act? If you do this, I will help you!"

As she said that, Empress Wu pointed to the incense table in front of her: "After kneeling for two hours, I will consider whether to forgive you or not!"

It turned out that it was just kneeling.

Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief, she walked to the incense table, lifted her skirt, and knelt down on the futon.

Empress Wu immediately said: "Did I allow you to kneel on the futon? Kneel on it!"

The corner of Wan'er's mouth twitched, she had no choice but to leave the futon, and obediently knelt down on the ground.

Empress Wu was still unconvinced, and cast a sidelong glance at Wan'er, before turning to Xue Jieyu who pursed her lips and said, "I'm leaving, Master stay here."

Xue Jieyu also gave her a sideways glance: I didn't intend to send you off at all, okay?

Empress Wu didn't take it seriously, and walked forward with her head held high.

Zhao Ying hurriedly followed suit.

After walking a few steps, Empress Wu abruptly stopped, turned around and said, "On the eighth day of next month, I still want to bother the Venerable Master."

After finishing speaking, she gave Xue Jieyu a look of "you understand", and left with her head held high.

Wan'er knelt on the ground and heard clearly: The eighth day of next month?Isn't that her birthday?

But she didn't see that after Empress Wu left, Xue Jieyu's gaze never left the woman on the scroll hanging above the incense table.
