"Knock, knock, knock......" The slow and continuous drum sounded, Shen Mengxi turned over irritably, five minutes passed, the drum still didn't stop, and she sat up irritably.

The room was pitch black, and Shen Mengxi was a little stunned when he smelled an unknown aroma at the end of his nose.

She felt that she had risen a little violently,—— and that older people should sober up a little and slowly get up sideways. Sitting up like this is not good for the lumbar spine and heart.

After snorting a few times, in addition to the aroma and the faint smell of Chinese medicine, she touched her back suspiciously, and reached out to touch the sheets, and a thought suddenly rose in her heart.

She still stretched out her hand to the left, full of expectation, and shouted softly: Shouqing!

Immediately, a young girl's whispered reply was heard: The maid is here.

Shen Mengxi was stunned.

A girl who was not tall quietly walked in, stood respectfully beside the bed, bowed through the gauze tent, and whispered, "Your Royal Highness Princess." “

Shen Mengxi didn't react, and the maid didn't move, bowing her head and waiting to listen to the order.

After a while, Shen Mengxi said dryly, "Let's go out first." ”

The maidservant answered and withdrew.

Shen Mengxi lay down again, tears streaming down the corners of his eyes.

- She's dead again!

Yesterday before going to bed, she reminded Wang Shouqing to take medicine and measured his blood pressure, but she seemed to have forgotten to say goodnight to him.

Shen Mengxi suddenly felt that his head was heavy and his whole body was sore, and he muttered: "There is really a third ......" and fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long later, the drums sounded again, accompanied by the bells.

Shen Mengxi woke up slowly, looked at the red tent roof, and sighed softly.

After moving his hands and feet, he closed his eyes and checked the Wuling space again.

Shouted softly: Come on!

******

With the first two experiences, Shen Mengxi accepted it quickly, and was quite satisfied with the new body, although he had just given birth to a child for a month, and he had not recuperated well recently, but after all, he was only twenty-three years old, and his status was prominent.

An old soul, what else to pick, what kind of bicycle do you want?

Shen Mengxi didn't have a severe headache this time, I don't know if it was because her soul was gradually getting stronger, or if this princess Taiping's brain was more developed.

Yes, it's Princess Taiping.

The Tang princess whose father is the emperor, her mother is the emperor, her two elder brothers are the emperor, and her nephew is also the emperor.

At this time, the princess was newly widowed.

Xue Shao is the second son of Princess Taiping's aunt, that is, her second cousin, the two have a very close relationship, seven years after marriage, and have four children.

The eldest cousin Xue Yi participated in the rebellion, and was given death by the saint after the defeat, which affected the Xue family, although Xue Shao did not participate, but the Empress Wu firmly believed that even if he did not participate, he must have known about it and did not report it, so he arrested Xue Shao and punished him with a hundred rods. At that time, it was Princess Taiping who gave birth to her little daughter, just after the full moon, when she learned that the horse was beaten, she hurriedly ran to the edict prison, but she was not allowed to enter, and ran to the palace to ask to see the martial queen, but the martial queen did not see, she asked to see her brother again, and the brother reluctantly let her go back, and no one could change her mother's decision.

She cried outside the palace and couldn't kneel for a long time, until she fainted and was sent back to the princess's mansion, but she still didn't let Empress Wu soften.

Soon after giving birth, Taiping couldn't stand the toss, returned to the princess's mansion, had a high fever, couldn't afford to be sick, who knew that four days later, there was news that Xue Shao starved to death in prison, Taiping mourned for a while, wailed, and fainted.

After Empress Wu learned about it, she sent the Tai Hospital for diagnosis and treatment, and after pouring the decoction, the fever subsided, but the princess did not wake up.

No one knew that this morning, Princess Taiping, who woke up again, had changed her soul.

The new body is relatively weak, and the whole body is sweating.

"I'm going to wash... I'm going to bathe. ”

The handmaid should be, go and prepare.

There is a bath bed in the bath barrel, that is, a small bench, Shen Mengxi sits on it, I don't know what fragrance is added to the water, it emits a strong aroma, and she is a little dizzy, the four maidservants wear flowers, busy before and after, a maid washes her hair behind her, and whispers: "Princess, you can't bathe for too long today, so as not to catch a cold again." ”

Shen Mengxi nodded in agreement, and she also felt weak.

When she got out of the bath and dressed, she didn't feel too embarrassed, she looked down at her lower abdomen, touched it again, gave birth to four children, only a few faint stretch marks, the maid quickly wiped the water droplets on her body, and served her to put on her underwear.

Shen Mengxi chuckled, startling the dressed maidservant and looking at her in panic.

The maid is tidying up her dress, reminding her that the "Princess Taiping" is a term to describe women with a flat body in later generations, Shanshan told her jokes back then, "exposing her family ugliness" and saying that her husband dislikes her is Ping X: driving through the shock absorbing belt has to bump a little, to you, just slip away, what does it feel like!

Hahaha, the two of them laughed insolently.

Shanshan, I can't remember how many years I haven't thought of her. A string of tears fell again.

- Is Princess Taiping a sentimental woman?

She had a feeling that she couldn't control her emotions and couldn't help but sigh.

The maid saw her laughing for a while and sighing for a while, and hurriedly comforted her softly, persuading her to take care of her body for the sake of Xiaolangjun and the little lady.

"Qingfeng, how many drums?" Shen Mengxi took the silk handkerchief, wiped a handful of tears, and asked in disguise.

"Back to Your Highness, it's already five realms." The handmaid bowed her head and replied.

The Princess's Mansion is located in Shangshanfang, south of the Luo River, which is the closest Lifang to the imperial city, and the drums from the imperial city can be clearly heard, and the bells of the nearby temples are also endless. At this time, the entire Luoyang Palace came alive.

After drinking flax porridge for breakfast, Shen Mengxi asked for a white water egg.

After eating, he was still sleepy and tired, and had to lie down on the Luohan bed to continue resting.

Until she heard from the maidservant that the saint had given her tonics, medicines, and treasures, she had to get up and change her clothes and go out to receive the reward.

The saint also increased her food seal from 350 to 1,200. Shen Mengxi knew that this was not his brother's decision, but the mother who controlled the government, and used it as compensation for killing the horse.

In the memory of Princess Li Lingyue of Taiping, her father and mother doted on her very much, her three half-brothers also loved her very much, and her other half-brothers and sisters were also very friendly. The biggest worry in her life is just because of the pregnancy belly markings.

Empress Wu likes Taiping, firstly because she is her only daughter, and secondly because she looks like herself. At the age of forty-two, she gave birth to Taiping, and since she was a child, she has responded to her needs, except for this time to kill the colt.

In Shen Mengxi's opinion, this martial queen is a woman with a strong desire to control, she asks her children to be obedient and can't get out of her control, she takes what she thinks is the best thing directly to her beloved daughter, and when she thinks that thing is not good, she will take it directly without asking her daughter's opinion.

Even if the thing was a living person.

Later generations said that Taiping's appearance and personality were like Empress Wu, but Shen Mengxi felt that Taiping was not like her mother, at least not before the horse died. She's just a much-loved delicate woman who hasn't experienced the dangers of the world.

As for the legend that Princess Taiping raised a face head, was debauched, and gave her face head to the Empress Wu, whether it is true or not, cannot be verified.

But Shen Mengxi knew one thing that he would never do this.
