When Wan'er walked to the Xianju Hall in the rain, there was no light in the twilight sky, but the lights in the dormitory had already penetrated through the cracks in the doors and windows, and the wisps illuminated the Shangyang Palace in the early morning hazy, with a bit of fairyland.

The people in the small palace outside the door smiled when they saw Wan'er from a distance, and said softly when she approached: "Your Majesty said that if it rains when the decree comes, you can change your clothes in the side hall and go in again." He smiled and added, "I specially asked someone to get suitable clothes." ”

Wan'er saw Xu Changsheng bow down and withdraw from inside, lowered her eyes, changed her clothes without saying a word, and slowly entered, and saw that Empress Wu—and now His Majesty the God Emperor—was sitting on the edge of the bed in a cloak, but wearing not men's clothes, but a lilac skirt.

This majesty has been in high spirits and everything has gone well since he ascended the throne, but today I don't know why, but he is quite tired, and when he saw Wan'er coming in, he only raised his eyelids slightly, and did not say what the purpose of the early morning emergency call was, but said: "Accompany me for a walk." ”

Wan'er bowed lightly, and was about to get her clothes to change for her, but she didn't need to wave her hand, she actually wore the half-worn skirt, stepped out of the dormitory, followed the Xianju Palace, bypassed the courtyard, the corridor, and suddenly stopped when she was about to reach the Luoshui Corridor, squinting and looking out.

Wan'er knew what she was looking at—the palace people saw her coming to the corridor and hurriedly moved the long music chair out.

Wan'er remembered how happy she was when she received this chair that year, and for many days she would lie on the long music chair to see the ministers, and when she met people, she would ask, "How is this chair?" The ministers knew her intentions, and they all said that it was "wonderful" and "ingenious and unheard of", and even the chair was praised by people in the world, and she lay down in the long music chair with a smile, and listened tirelessly to the people praising her little daughter. There are rumors in the palace that her eldest daughter was abused and died by the abolition of the first emperor, but the princess Andingsi, who was buried with the princely ceremony, grew up in the abolished palace until she was six years old, Wan'er did not believe in her means, and she was powerless about it for six years - at first, although she was a talented person of the first emperor who was secretly accepted into the palace, she had no position and no point, but later she favored the sixth palace, and the queen was abolished, and the first emperor was about to make her the queen, so he did not hesitate to disobey the queen mother, not to mention that her eldest daughter lived so hard, but the eldest son grew up peacefully and without illness and disaster- Wan'er firmly believes that the death of the princess may have been due to the abuse after the abolition, and she, as her biological mother, is also to blame. Perhaps because of this, she regards this princess of Changle as a treasure in her palm and a treasure in her eyes.

However, it was she who locked up this little daughter to the point of almost madness. Wan'er remembered her lowered eyes when Ah Qing Bao said "Princess Changle has not slept for ten days", and her hands were shaking at that moment, but her hands were shaking, and her voice did not change when she said, "She didn't admit her mistake for a day, and she kept it like this".

These mother and daughter are both wonderful people.

Wan'er slowly followed her up to the corridor, and saw her put her hand on the back of the chair, her figure turned slightly, her eyes swept over Luoshui, and she was cast on the high palace wall.

Just like her, it seems to call for wind and rain, but in the end, she is just a stubborn mother - thinking about it like this, Wan'er actually felt that she was a little kinder than usual, and hurriedly restrained her mind, forgetting this dangerous thought, and sure enough, she turned her head, and looked at herself majestically as usual: "Over the years, you have given New Year's gifts to Princess Changle every year?"

Wan'er's head and hands were lowered just right: "The concubine also sent gifts to the kings, princesses and princesses of the clan in accordance with the season. ”

She smiled: "But you never gave gifts to Dan'er." ”

Wan'er said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty has clearly decreed that the imperial heir will not be allowed to marry foreign ministers. When she heard her say, "But you are not a foreign minister," her face did not change: "Although the concubine is an internal official, she follows His Majesty in and out of the foreign court and drafts the draft order, and she does not have the name of a foreign minister, but she has the reality of a foreign minister, so Your Majesty does not allow the imperial heir to make friends with the foreign minister, and the concubine does not dare to make friends with the imperial heir." ”

She didn't speak for a long time.

Wan'er knew she was looking at herself. After following her for so many years, Wan'er is no longer as trembling as she was at the beginning, and she can more or less guess her thoughts, but when she looks at her like this, she will still be terrified in her heart. She must have seen through her own careful thinking, knew what she meant by "foreign minister" deliberately emphasized, and knew why she said such a thing. Princess Anding and the kings of the Wu clan can offer a hundred, a thousand Xu Changsheng, but they can no longer find another Shangguan Wan'er.

Therefore, Sister Xu Changsheng could laugh unscrupulously in front of her and reveal her recent situation to others at will, but Shangguan Wan'er could only tremble and panic under her scrutiny.

Wan'er waited quietly, and didn't wait long before she heard her voice with a slight smile: "I can't complain that Taiping is close to you, you are not without similarities with her." ”

For the first time in years, she mentioned Princess Changle's name.

Wan'er thought for a moment and replied softly, "The concubine doesn't understand. ”

She smiled and glanced at Wan'er: "You understand, you and her and me, we all understand." After saying this, she seemed to be tired, so she sat down in the long music chair, her eyes closed, as if she was asleep, and as if she was not asleep, Wan'er habitually wanted to pinch her shoulders, but she opened her eyes to signal that Wan'er didn't have to, and when she looked at the other side, her eyes were blazing, not at all like her current age, and there was no sleepless appearance: "Zhou Xing played a secret music, saying that Princess Changle's domestic slaves were colluding with the people in the palace, intending to support the emperor's heir and plot against him." ”

Wan'er's heart jumped, and she was thinking about how to answer, but she said again: "Someone said: 'The princess is in the court, and the emperor's heir lives in the East Palace, and both of them are under His Majesty's nose, and they can't be framed, so they start with the slave maid and provoke His Majesty's suspicion - this move is not intended to be empirical, but to arouse His Majesty's suspicion, and to cause His Majesty to be unmerciful, which is really sinister. I asked him, 'Are you so sure that this is false?' and he said, 'Your Majesty is the mother of the princess and the heir, and it has been heard since ancient times that the son abolishes the father, but the son abolishes the mother.' I said, "I have never heard of a female emperor since ancient times." With a slight smile, he raised his eyelids to look at Wan'er: "What do you think?"

Wan'er lowered her eyes: "The concubine thinks that this person must not have been a mother." ”

She chuckled. 166 Reading Network
