Chapter 6 Budding to be released
Wu Mei grabbed her and shook her head as she let the tears of broken threads fall into the swaddling clothes that wrapped the dead baby. It took a long time for her to restrain her grief and choked up: "Don't look for it, we have no evidence." β
Tang Ying squeezed her hand tightly, thinking about it, she could only comfort: "Don't cry, I believe that good and evil will be rewarded in the end." There will be gods to punish her! β
Wu Mei trembled slightly after hearing this, stared at Tang Ying with complicated eyes for a while, and nodded lightly.
Facts have proved that only Tang Ying's persuasion Wu Mei can listen. Finally, she let go of the dead baby she had been holding for a day and a night, and handed it over to the corresponding officials in the harem to handle the funeral.
It happened on the day she left the palace, although Wu Mei repeatedly said that it was not the reason for her failure to guard, but she was still a little angry. However, she gritted her teeth and did not ask Wu Mei for more detailed details. If nothing else, I am afraid that I will deduce the conclusion that Wu Mei killed her own daughter, thus subverting the trust between them.
She's not a kid after all. Know that there are some things that can't dig too deep. This is true both in modern times and in ancient times.
Under the gloomy clouds of the harem, Chang'an ushered in the fifth year of Yonghui (654 AD).
Since Wu Mei lost her daughter, the emperor has even more pity for her. As a suspect in the murder of the princess, Queen Wang was unable to convict her, but she was given a cold reception by the emperor. It is difficult to see the emperor in the entire Lizheng Hall like a cold palace.
In March of this year, an edict was handed down, and Wu Mei was officially canonized as the second grade Zhaoyi. The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, led by the eldest grandson Wuji, had a lot of complaints about this matter, but the emperor showed an unprecedented tough side in order to calm Wu Mei's mood, and this group of old ministers acquiesced in order not to add more resentment to the queen's faction.
At this point, Wu Mei has a clear identity. She didn't show the joy she deserved, I don't know if it was because the origin of her identity always reminded her of her daughter's tragic death, or if the title "Zhaoyi" could no longer satisfy her desires. Li Zhi saw that she was depressed all day, and on March 14, he gave 13 official titles to martial arts heroes. Among them is Wu Mei's father, Wu Shi Tong. You must know that he was born as a businessman, and he has always been looked down upon by famous families such as the Wang family, which makes Wu Mei inferior to their daughter in terms of appearance.
This series of flattery and the courtesy of daily visits made Wu Mei gradually happy. Not long after, she became pregnant again. Li Zhi was naturally overjoyed, and he was even more caring, and even Concubine Xiao Shu went there less.
Sometimes, Tang Ying watched the emperor holding Huang Zihong with one hand and stroking Wu Mei's belly with the other, and always felt like time had gone back to two years ago. Can you really go back? Wu Mei's gentle and vain expression said it all.
Tang Ying could see that the two of them had been going on for a long time, and the ordinary happiness of her children and grandchildren, which she had once had in stages, was ranked behind the struggle for the rights of the harem. In Wu Mei's eyes, not being a queen is a dead end. Tang Ying knew that she was going to extremes, but she couldn't accuse her of being wrong. In the affairs of the harem, everyone has an unshirkable responsibility. She became like this, what is her own expectation?
Wu Mei used her superhuman energy and experience in the deep palace to secretly extend her olive branch to the courtiers, and slowly gathered into her own shili.
In June of this year, the queen's uncle, the cautious Lord Liu, finally noticed that something was wrong. After admonishing the queen and queen not to be an enemy of Wu Mei again, she asked to be dismissed from the official position and reappointed to the official position of the secretary of the ministry, which was far away from the palace. This time, the queen officially withdrew from the battle of the harem and became an ornament with only an empty title. There is an undercurrent surging under the court, and many newly promoted officials, who are neither high nor low, have begun to consider the issue of standing in line.
In the middle of summer, the warm sunshine and the warm breeze with the fragrance of flowers fill Chang'an, giving the people a sense of national peace and security. Tang Ying ushered in her eleventh year old in this era, completing the transformation from a girl to a girl at an astonishing speed.
Her height has grown to Wu Mei's shoulders, and although her figure is slender, her chest and buttocks have been significantly raised, all of which exude the youthful temptation of a girl. What has changed even more is her appearance, her eyebrows are curved and thick, her eyes are large and clear, the bridge of her nose is high, the tip of her nose is rounded, her lips are plump and moist, her face is white and red, and the deep dimples are more obvious when she smiles...... Everything, described as budding to be released, is the most appropriate.
To say that it is a natural formation is a bit one-sided. Tang Ying used the beauty experience he knew in the 21st century, drinking milk, exercising, making facial masks, cultivating, and taking pills, all of which made the most of the resources in the palace. Under her leadership, Wu Mei's skin is also well maintained, and seeing that she has such a practical ability in addition to subduing demons and eliminating demons, she relies on her even more.
Tang Ying knew that she was growing up, but she really realized that she had changed significantly, but it was in Li Zhi's eyes when she looked at her.
I don't know when Li Zhi and her will always miss playing shuttlecock because of distraction. As everyone knows, in the eyes of this emperor, she is full of fresh and healthy temptation. What's more, she can be regarded as he grew up with his own eyes, and his favorite dimples.
One day, the emperor left with his front foot, and Wu Mei summoned Tang Ying to his side.
She first looked at Tang Ying for a while, and then said straight to the point: "Ying, you have been so beautiful, no wonder the emperor is interested in you." Tang Ying, who was twenty-eight years old in his heart, had already seen that something was wrong, but he could still be confused for a while just because he was just over eleven years old. Now that Wu Mei can see it, the situation is serious.
Now that Wu Mei is pregnant, what if she lets herself be a stand-in in order to please the emperor? But if you refuse, does it mean that you have to break with Wu Mei? Not to mention that she has already really liked Wu Mei, starting from reality, she has no more places to go.
Wu Mei saw that Tang Ying didn't speak, but laughed "poof", "On weekdays, I see that you are quite decisive in handling things, why do you twist when it comes to emotional matters?" You and I are also in weal and woe, what else can't we say? β
Tang Ying pursed her lips and finally decided to tell the truth, "I...... I'm afraid you'll let me sleep. β
Wu Mei raised her eyebrows after hearing this, "You are really smart." But you don't seem to be happy. β
"Well, I don't like him."
Wu Mei exclaimed, "Can ...... He is the emperor. She rolled her eyes and added, "You don't have to worry about me, really." The love of kings is not destined to be enjoyed alone, and I would be more pleased to share it with others than with others. β
Tang Ying hurriedly waved his hand, "I'...... I don't want royal love. Wu Mei's mouth opened wider, "Ei, don't you know what this means?" β
Tang Ying wanted to explain to her what "monogamy" was, but she was afraid of arousing suspicion, so she could only shake her head again and again. Wu Mei smiled and touched her head, "Okay, maybe you still don't understand." Well, I'll go talk to Bixia. β
Tang Ying asked, "Did he tell you to tell me?" β
Wu Mei squeezed her eyes at her, "I can see it when I see it." Alas, a few years ago, he looked at me like that. Ei, you're so naΓ―ve, Bixia wants to get you, and you still need to ask for my opinion? As he spoke, his expression was a little gloomy.
Tang Ying shook her arm, "Don't be embarrassed. Since he didn't say it, you don't know first. I'll personally find the emperor to solve this matter. β
