It was already dark when Wan'er retired from the Empress Wu - Empress Wu seemed to be very kind today, kept her words for a long time, and asked about her mother's daily life, saying that she would summon her mother to come to the palace to meet her another day-Wan'er paid attention to her heart, her words and deeds became more and more respectful, and she stepped out of the door of the inner hall, and met Gao Yanfu who had entered the palace, so she saluted uprightly: "Gao Weng." ”

Gao Yanfu was already calm, and when he saw her, he slowed down his steps, and laughed in a low voice: "Today, Wei Tuan'er came, and he was in a hurry, saying that he had something important to report, and when he went inside, he replied alone, but somehow provoked the anger of the Queen Mother, and ordered her to enter the palace in the future through the word - before she went, the Queen Mother didn't say anything, but after she came out, she ordered to give vegetables to Mrs. Zheng, and asked when you left." ”

Wan'er's heart sank, and she whispered the word "thank you", watching Gao Yanfu slowly leave after entering, and sat alone in the house for a long time, recalling her mother's instructions, compared to the shame of the day, she was a little more worried.

She doesn't regard Wei Tuan'er as a big problem. This person started from a slave maid, had no foundation, and was promoted through secret informing, unpopular, and the queen of martial arts used her to gain power, and when she was not needed, she was slightly estranged, and someone went to fall into the well. The people used by the martial arts queen are generally like this, if you advance, you will be fortunate to advance like a smooth step, and if you retreat, you will retreat like a cliff. What she was worried about was Gao Yanfu's kindness to her.

Gao Yanfu is not very strict, he is in front of the palace, seeing each other, and he also has a bit of peer affection, and he usually shows goodwill, so naturally it is not worth her to wake up like this. Today, however, is far from the ordinary.

Empress Wu treats the people around her, when she is generous, she is very generous, she never hesitates to pay for her materials, and she often makes ordinary jokes with the people of the small palace, and she does not often fiddle with some of the main mother's shelves, but if someone violates her taboo, her punishment is harsh, and it is far more than the ordinary master. Revealing the words of the royal front is her taboo. Gao Yanfu has been in front of the martial arts for more than 20 years, and he will not fail to understand such a truth, but he took the risk of committing a taboo, and he must have other plans. Thinking about it carefully, the only benefit that Gao Yanfu could get from doing these things was probably to make Wan'er deal with Wei Tuan'er- Everyone around Empress Wu seems to be in peace, but in fact they have their own plans, He Lou's is capable and progressive, brave in doing things, and does not abide by the rules, but he is quite a bit of a baht, and everything is prosperous, Gao Yanfu and Wan'er may not take it to heart, but she is not the slightest bit of a fight; Li is still young, and he is not the most favored, but he is extremely greedy for money; although Ah Qing is bent on thinking about Empress Wu, in addition to being loyal to his duties, his every move is like a wooden man, but he is extremely protective of his shortcomings; Gao Yanfu is cunning and cunning, refusing to come forward in everything, and no one is willing to offend; even Cui Mingde, who is newly valued, is also scheming in every word and deed, and it is by no means easy to match- It's still a big family. These people are only the tip of the iceberg of the Empress Wu's close attendants, not to mention those ministers in the court who are witty, calm, literate, or eloquent.

Shangguan Wan'er is just a small member of the Empress Dowager's entourage, some talents, some duties, some family backgrounds, some close, and her face is also medium to thick among these people.

Today's Wei Tuan'er may not be his official Wan'er.

Wan'er closed her eyes a little annoyed, and her clothes fell on the couch, quietly thinking about future countermeasures, but the more anxious she was, the more she couldn't think of any useful solutions, not only that, but after turning over and over on the couch a few times, her thoughts drifted to the side - the fair-skinned * who was no longer young but still very attractive, the looming leg line under the robe, the casual words of love and love between wanting to live and die on the couch, and the upright face that was both resolute and charming.

Wan'er felt that if she was a man, things would probably be simpler, she could be a face openly, a high-spirited fortunate minister, with the natural attraction between men and women to please the queen mother, or like that Feng Xiaobao, she gave birth to a god-given giant weapon - these are all advantages that others can't take away, exclusive to one person, not like her, who has something and nothing like her. She wants to make herself have something unique, enough to attract the attention of the Empress Wu for a long time, and maintain her status by the Empress Wu's side, instead of being like Wei Tuan'er, using it when it is easy to use, and it is not a pity to discard it casually.

At least, she wants to make Empress Wu feel pity.

Mother said that Wan'er was not surprised when Princess Luling sent someone to give gifts, with her current status, she should be worthy of the time and season of all the princes and ministers, not to mention that this princess has always been the best at being a person, always and everywhere, and is extremely thoughtful.

But Wan'er didn't expect this gift to be so heavy—an original copy of the test paper written by her father when he was in school, and a facsimile of a graphic left by chance when her grandfather accompanied the attendants.

The mother didn't know what this gift was in advance, but when Wan'er opened the wooden box, took out the test paper that had been rolled up, and saw the familiar handwriting, she suddenly covered her mouth and nose and cried bitterly.

Wan'er stared at the grandfather in the facsimile for a long time, the prime minister of the first emperor dynasty looked particularly handsome and elegant in the painting, the youngest among the prime ministers, but the most dazzling, the emperor in the prime of life on the imperial chariot was generous and generous, and the queen of martial arts who was still in the infancy of the Luling King was full of the gentleness and kindness of being a mother, no one knew, in just a few months, the most high-spirited prime minister on the painting died and died, and after more than ten years, even the king of Luling was deposed and exiled, his wife was helpless, and the rest of the people in the painting died or flowed, almost none of them had a good end.

Only the Empress Wu, from then to the present, is in power alone and standing.

Will such a person really like someone for a long time? Or is it the only way to let yourself be... Useful?

The palace is such a strange place, everything is like a secret, no one talks about it openly in the face, but what secrets, and it seems that they can't be kept, no matter what good things are bad, they come out in the morning, and they can flow all over the harem in the afternoon, and in the evening, even the rough envoys of Yongxiang can know what is happening in the Zhenguan Palace today, and they are very honest when they drink and gamble.

The Queen Mother did not allow Wei Tuan'er to go straight to the palace gate to say something, which was one of these secrets that could not be kept. In the afternoon, this incident came out, and in the evening, Wei Huan had heard the people on the door talking, and then asked Qiqi to inquire quietly, and the next day he knew that it was indeed true - it was really a godsend.

Wei Huan silently put away the scroll in his hand, which was a painting that Wusheng had been slowly copying for a long time. Taiping took charge of the middle palace, and even the secret pavilion that collected the imperial appearance had to give her face, and let her take the painting back to "admire" for a day and night.

Taiping didn't ask Wei Huan why she did this, although she grinded around Wei Huan for a long time, and the three words "want to know" were written on her whole face, but Wei Huan didn't say it, but she was really not reluctant.

In the final analysis, this little lady is still generous and upright, lighter than believers.

When Wei Huan thought of this, he felt sad and sweet, but whether it was sad or sweet, what should be done was always done.

Wei Huan: What needs to be done is always to be done.

Taiping: My daughter-in-law is right, let's do it!

Wei Huan: ...... 166 Reading Network
