Princess Taiping glanced at Shangguan Wan'er in a white dress, thinking that when she and her cousin Wu Qing had visited various places in Luoyang, it was like yesterday, but she didn't want to be a mother, and Shangguan Wan'er was still in the palace, she also knew that Wu Qing and Shangguan Wan'er had never broken off their old relationship, so she still had that sisterhood with Shangguan Wan'er.

After all, if there was no queen mother involved, maybe Wu Qing would marry Shangguan Wan'er. So he said: "Sister, don't be polite, you and I are like sisters, isn't this an outside?" Then he grabbed Shangguan Wan'er's hand.

Shangguan Wan'er naturally understood the meaning of this, and of course she would not be stupid to talk to Princess Taiping about sisterhood, she has been in the palace for many years, and I have never seen any deception. This Princess Taiping has grown up in the palace since she was a child, and she has been trained by the Empress Dowager Wu herself, how can she be a little worse. Even Empress Dowager Wu often praised Princess Taiping, "Taiping is the most Xiao me." ”

"Princess, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, slaves and maids don't dare." Shangguan Wan'er said.

Princess Taiping sighed and said, "Does Sister Wan'er resent Taiping for robbing her cousin?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly said: "The slave maid doesn't dare to have such delusions, and I hope the princess will not say it again." ”

Princess Taiping smiled: "Okay, okay, don't think I don't know about you and my cousin." It's been a long time since I've fought you in vain, so let's go to the field! ”

Shangguan Wan'er smiled: "Yes, I happened to have nothing to do today, so I can go to the field to have fun." "I don't want to do it in my heart, because Wu Qing is going to Zhenguan Palace, and she will be able to see it, but if she refuses, Princess Taiping will definitely stay in the palace for a while, and she will definitely meet Wu Qing. So she could only say yes.

Princess Taiping smiled: "Then let's go change clothes!" ”

Shangguan Wan'er owed, so she went to the dormitory with Princess Taiping, and it didn't take long. The two of them were dressed in Hu clothes, and their hair was also tied in a bun, one of them was pure like a white lotus, and the other was as beautiful as a red peony.

Princess Taiping said: "In the past, we were all fighting for nothing, today it is better to have a bow, I will find some maidservants to add me." Have a bow with the palace maid over there, you see how it goes. ”

Shangguan Wan'er frowned, but still agreed. "The princess's maidservants often bow, and the slaves and maids are at most in vain, so you have to let us."

Taiping smiled and said, "Keju is also for activities. I suffocated to death after staying in the house all day. We're just playing, not scoring. ”

So the two teams of people, the two teams of women began to bow, for a while, the sound of the field bursting, causing the hundred cavalry soldiers on the Xuanwu Gate to widen their eyes and look at each other.

After Wu Qing received the secret decree of the Queen Mother, he rushed from Qingxin Academy to Zhenguan Palace. I didn't see Shangguan Wan'er, but I saw a palace maid with a graceful body and white skin like ivory. Her eyebrows and eyes are also extremely standard, she lowered her head and walked in front, Wu Qing could guess from the full buttocks that this palace maid was definitely a good person who could give birth to her, but it was a pity that she became a palace maid.

Waiting to enter the Zhenguan Palace, Wu Qing bowed down to meet the Empress Dowager Wu, who was looking at a book, to be exact, a thread-bound book. Thread-bound books are books that have only recently appeared, and they were naturally invented by Wu Qing. In order to spread science, Wu Qing opened a printing bureau, first printed Wu Qing's previous novels, especially "Journey to the West", and dedicated the book to the Empress Dowager Wu.

So what Empress Dowager Wu is holding in her hand is this "Journey to the West".

Empress Dowager Wu put down the book, looked at Wu Qing, and said, "Qing'er sit down and talk." ”

"Empress Dowager Xie." Then he knelt on the futon.

Empress Dowager Wu said: "Your book is good. ”

Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know if what the Empress Dowager Wu said was that the novel was good, or if the book was good, so he arched his hand and said: "This book is dedicated to the Queen Mother, just for entertainment, if it can make the Queen Mother happy, Your Majesty will be relieved." ”

Empress Dowager Wu said: "What you said in this book, but Master Xuanzang went to Tianzhu to learn scriptures, I didn't expect to be written by you like this, but it made the palace look at it with relish and couldn't put it down." Still, Hongu liked the quality of the book's paper and the way it was bound. This palace heard that you cooperated with Pei Kuanshu, the craftsman's supervisor, to invent the technique of movable type printing, but this book was printed with the technique of movable type printing? ”

Wu Qing hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, this book was printed for the movable type printing, and it is the first one." ”

"Well, the first one, it's really worth collecting." Empress Dowager Wu was thoughtful.

Then he said: "This spring, the imperial examination has been postponed to March, and it is also your proposal to increase the palace examination, do you have a better idea?" ”

Wu Qing bowed and said: "The imperial examination is the foundation of the country, and it is to select the children of the poor family for the use of the imperial court. His Majesty believes that the selection of scholars in the imperial examination is the best talent in the world, and the important ministers in the court can invigilate the examination, which can increase the weight of the imperial examination, and join the palace examination, which can allow Your Majesty to be able to personally make the question, then the Jinshi in the world is the protégé of the Son of Heaven, and increase the sense of honor of these Han scholars. ”

For a long time, Empress Dowager Wu didn't reply, her mind was shocked by the "Your Majesty", as if something had caught her. She has been fighting for power, she used means to do the queen and Xiao Shufei in the palace, and became the queen of the world, and then he used means to make the eldest grandson Wuji commit suicide, so that Chu Suiliang was demoted from Beijing, and later participated in court politics, assisted Gaozong, and almost all military and political affairs have her shadow. Even in order to compete with the prince, she also set up a North Gate Bachelor. But she also never wanted to be called by the word "majesty".

She looked at Wu Qing and saw that Wu Qing had a calm face, could it be that those three words were just a slip of the tongue? But Empress Dowager Wu's heart has set off a thousand waves, and it can't be calmed down for a long time.

"What you said, write it down as much as you can, and send it over, and the palace will let the government hall discuss it."

Wu Qing bowed and said, "Weichen understands. ”

At this time, Princess Taiping walked into the Zhenguan Hall with Shangguan Wan'er in her arms, and when she saw Wu Qing there, she couldn't help but be stunned, playfully threw a wink, and then said coquettishly to the Empress Dowager Wu: "A-Niang, you have lost weight recently!" ”

Wu Qing scolded secretly in his heart, this goblin, seeing that Shangguan Wan'er was also dressed in a beard, and then looked at the sweat on her forehead that stuck to a strand of hair, and there was a trace of dust on her already innocent face. It seems that Wan'er's heart is not happy.

Wu Qing retired in a timely manner, Empress Dowager Wu glanced at it, and said to Shangguan Wan'er: "Wan'er, Tuan'er, you should also retreat." ”

The second daughter bowed and retreated, Wu Qing was in front, and she couldn't help but think that this palace maid's name was Tuan'er, and she looked like she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but she was born like a porcelain doll.

After leaving the palace gate, Wu Qing slowed down slightly, and when the second daughter passed by, Wu Qing asked, "Shangguan Cairen, who is this nobleman?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "It's the palace maid of the newly promoted Shangshi Bureau, in charge of the Queen Mother's daily life, called Wei Tuan'er." Does the general have any other orders? ”

Wu Qing shook his head and said: "Wu just thinks that the girl in Tuan'er has a good face, and he can't help but want to say hello and disturb the two." ”

Immediately, Wu Qing took his leave and left. (To be continued......)
