At this time, in the bedroom of Empress Wu in the back, Empress Wu and the emperor are both there, the two of them are talking, the husband and wife have rarely talked together recently, either Empress Wu is too busy, or the emperor is playing, the two of them rarely have free time, plus Empress Wu is pregnant, and the emperor does not spend the night here, so it is even more rare to have a good chat together.

When Empress Wu and the emperor were together, they rarely talked about court affairs, and even if they did, they were talking about very simple government affairs, that is, the kind of government affairs that made it easy for the emperor to make judgments.

In this way, the emperor can solve it casually, and Empress Wu pretended to worship it very much, such a difficult government affairs, the emperor, you solved it in an instant, Your Majesty is really amazing, greatly praise the emperor, and make the emperor happy.

In this way, not only the emperor's vanity has been satisfied, but also will give the emperor an illusion, in fact, the government is a very simple thing, so it is not a big deal to hand it over to Empress Wu, these little things, there is no need to let him work hard, the queen likes to do it, let her do it, it doesn't matter!

The same is true today, Empress Wu casually took out two government affairs, deeply embarrassed, I don't know how to deal with it, humbly ask the emperor for advice, the emperor waved his hand to deal with it, Empress Wu praised His Majesty Shengming!

After that, the two of them talked about the child who was about to be born, Queen Wu had reached the time of giving birth, but there was no movement in her stomach, but she couldn't move at will, at this time she wanted to think of a name for the child, as well as a title.

Empress Wu touched her big belly and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, do you say you want a daughter or a son?" ”

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Many sons and grandchildren, this is a blessing, but this time, I want a daughter, a lovely little daughter, I will love her well!" ”

"Daughter, the concubine also wants a daughter!" Empress Wu said, she couldn't help but think of the daughter who had died before.

Empress Wu had given birth to a daughter before, she was not a queen at that time, the queen in the palace was surnamed Wang, known as Queen Wang, Queen Wu gave birth to a daughter not long after, this daughter was killed by Queen Wang, it is said that Queen Wang came to see the little princess at that time, and then killed the little princess by hand.

Empress Wu was overwhelmed with grief and indignation and complained to the emperor, who was furious and punished Empress Wang, and then Empress Wu resorted to means to make the emperor depose Empress Wang and make her queen herself.

This is all in the past, whether the newborn little princess was killed by Queen Wang at that time cannot be verified, it can only be said who is the winner, but as far as Queen Wu is concerned, she does want a daughter.

After the emperor saw that Empress Wu said that he missed his daughter, he was suddenly silent, he knew that he was thinking of the little princess before, he sighed, and said: "Mei Niang, don't think about the past, let's go over the past, if we really give birth to a daughter this time, then we will protect her well, so that her wife can grow up peacefully!" ”

Empress Wu hummed, nodded vigorously, and said, "You must let her wife grow up peacefully, Your Majesty, then give her a title, called Taiping, do you think it?" ”

"Princess Taiping!" The emperor nodded again and again: "Okay, this title is good, I will make her the princess of Taiping, as long as she can grow up peacefully, then whatever she wants, I will give her!" ”

Empress Wu touched her stomach and said: "Xiao Taiping is estimated to be born in these few days, fortunately, born at this time, the concubine still has time to rest, so as not to delay the time to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen!" ”

Going to Mount Tai to seal Zen is the first major event of Queen Wu in recent times, even if she gives birth to a child, she can't delay this big event, she would rather be born on the road, and can't delay the "auspicious time" of Feng Zen.

The emperor is indispensable, anyway, he has long been accustomed to having the final say in everything by Empress Wu, he suddenly remembered something and asked: "The one who is in charge of road repair, Helan or something, has his case been solved?" ”

"Helan Anwen, why did Your Majesty think of him?" Empress Wu was very surprised, the emperor has never cared about this kind of thing, unless someone has mentioned Helan Anwen to him, let the emperor remember, the emperor will never remember.

The emperor said: "It was Mrs. Wei who asked, after all, it is her relative, so I am concerned!" ”

Empress Wu's face sank slightly, Mrs. Wei's name is Helan Minyue, she is Helan Minzhi's sister, the emperor is very fond of her, but this Helan Minyue is too young, she has no sense of proportion, she is pampered and arrogant, and she is quite disrespectful to Empress Wu, which is looking for death.

Empress Wu has been very busy recently, and she is not in the mood to clean her up, so she plans to wait a little longer, and when the Fengzen event is over, she will send Helan Minyue to the West Heaven, of course, she will also send a few more people who she usually does not like to go to the West Heaven together, such as the relatives of the Wu family who dared to treat her badly before.

After calming down her mood, Empress Wu said: "The case is being solved, and the result will be out soon, so leave this little matter to the concubines, Your Majesty doesn't have to pay attention to it!" ”

The emperor nodded yes, he didn't want to care about such a trivial matter, if it wasn't for Helan Minyue to ask, he wouldn't care if Helan An died or not, who cares who cares, anyway, he doesn't care.

Standing up, the emperor said: "I went to Mrs. Wei, she said that she had a new kind of rouge, the color is extremely beautiful, I will go and take a look." He patted Empress Wu's hand, and he left.

Empress Wu's face can be wrung out of the water now, it is terrifyingly gloomy, she secretly hates in her heart, Helan Minyue, that little slut, even wants to compete for favor, let her be rampant for a while, it is easy to repair her, but she is not in a hurry.

At this time, a little eunuch came in to report, saying that the prince Li Hong asked to see, and there was also Li Rizhi of Chang'an County, and in addition, the chief manager of Tong Da also asked to see, this little eunuch looked strange, but Queen Wu had something in her heart and did not notice.

Li Hong and Li Rizhi came in together, Tong Guinu also followed with his head down, Empress Wu smiled and said: "Hong'er, you came a little late, if you arrive early, you can see your father and emperor, don't you usually read at this hour, how can you have time to see your mother!" ”

Li Hong said with a smile: "I'm tired of studying, and I have something to do today, so Erchen came to visit the queen mother early, and it was about the silt of the Weishui River." ”

He was about to repeat what Li Rizhi had said, but at this time, Empress Wu saw Tong Guinu's embarrassment!

Empress Wu was taken aback, Tong Guinu was beaten? This is worth it, Tong Guinu is her confidant, even if it is a prince or something, he will not have such courage, it depends on the master to beat the dog, whoever dares to beat Tong Guinu will not give Queen Wu face!

Empress Wu asked loudly, "Tong Guinu, what's the matter with the injury on your face?" ”

Tong Guinu knelt down with a plop, bent his waist, and cried on the ground, the footprints on his back waist were also displayed in front of Empress Wu in a timely manner!

Tong Guinu didn't say a word, just cried, he knew Queen Wu's temper very well, at this time, he only needed to show grievances, and the rest of the words were naturally said by others, such as the lovely and honest His Royal Highness the Prince.

Sure enough, Li Hong said: "Queen Mother, Tong Guinu was beaten by Helan Minzhi, then Helan Minzhi committed murder in the Xuanzheng Palace, it is really lawless, the Queen Mother should no longer shield him, he must be severely punished!" ”

Li Hong didn't see Tong Guinu being beaten, why he didn't know, but he was annoyed by He Lan Minzhi, so he naturally spoke to Tong Guinu!

When Empress Wu heard Helan Minzhi's name, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned, why did Helan Minzhi come here again, and dare to beat Tong Gui slave in the Xuanzheng Palace, did this kid take the wrong medicine!

If the emperor didn't mention Mrs. Wei just now, then Empress Wu wouldn't be angry, but now when she heard these four words of Helan Minzhi, she felt tired in her heart, the Mrs. Wei who disgusted her was Helan Minzhi's sister!

Empress Wu sat up straight, she was angry in her heart, and she felt that her stomach hurt a little, uncomfortable, could it be that she was going to give birth?

She said, "What the hell is going on, tell me clearly!" ”

Li Hong looked at Li Rizhi, Li Rizhi immediately said: "Back to Niangniang's words, the minister and Peng County Order raised a donation, wanted to use it to dredge the Weishui River and clean up the silt, but was carried away by Zhou Guogong, we had to chase after it, I don't want Zhou Guogong to come to the Xuanzheng Palace, and the ministers can only chase there, seeing that Tong Jian is stopping Helan Minzhi, Helan Minzhi actually started to beat, and the ministers stopped him, but he even beat the ministers, chasing the ministers, fortunately, His Royal Highness the Prince arrived, Otherwise, I am afraid that I will be beaten by him like Mr. Tong! ”

He said this about the situation at that time, but it sounded extremely unfavorable to Helan Minzhi.

Empress Wu felt that her stomach hurt even more, she leaned back, held back the pain, and said, "Call Helan Minzhi in!" ”
