Li Zhi and Empress Wu are also troubled by Ming Chongyan's violent death, Li Zhi is worried that no one can relieve his head illness for him, and Empress Wu is a little unclear, Yu Gong, in recent years, Ming Chongyan has helped her a lot in political affairs under the pretense of magic in recent years; Yu Private, his elegance and bearing happen to be the type she admires the most, and even favorites, of course, this hazy and ambiguous feelings are hidden very deeply, and the Empress Wu has never revealed it in front of people, and Ming Chongyan will never think of it. He is such a mysterious son of the turbid world, as a politician, but he does the things of a ranger, and at the same time is greedy for Hongchen, and he accepts the power and wealth in his hands calmly.

The unknown with infinite possibilities came to an abrupt end at this moment because of Ming Chongyan's death, and the Empress Wu was stunned, and her heart was difficult to let go for a long time, in addition to regret and grief, anger, which seemed to be a more legitimate emotion, seemed to be more worthy of catharsis. In order to comfort his angry wife and to cherish the memory of the unfortunate deceased, Li Zhi specially posthumously presented Ming Chongyan as a servant and called Zhuang.

But Empress Wu didn't think that this matter could end here, she was a careerist, she treated others with herself, and thought that she had to find out the mastermind behind this "conspiracy", and all kinds of clues and gossip pointed to the East Palace, and the situation was very unfavorable to the crown prince Li Xian.

At this juncture, Empress Wu summoned Wan'er again. The location is in the relatively remote and deserted Qingsi Palace, the martial queen dresses casually, and the powder is also very light compared to weekdays, seemingly unintentional dress but deliberate, Wan'er saluted and waited silently for the coming storm.

It was this calm posture that made Empress Wu turn her rebuke into ridicule, "Wan'er, you are really my favorite assistant!" Such a big thing happened, but there was no insight at all, I must have spent the moon and I getting carried away! ”

Wan'er already had a countermeasure in her heart, and responded calmly: "Mr. Ming Xianyou returned, the slave was sad, although Mr. and Wan'er have no personal relationship, but Wan'er has always admired Mr.'s skills and personality, frankly speaking, Mr. Ming is not a decent gentleman, but his affection and elegance have long been beyond the vulgar, gentlemen, villains are just a classification of the mundane, Mr. is not limited at all." The slave maid was accompanied by the East Palace, although he disagreed with the prince and sometimes argued, but he was always the same in his judgment of Mr. Ming. Please forgive the slave and maid for privately appreciating the insolence and frivolity of others...... The crown prince also regretted Mr. Ming's untimely death, and His Royal Highness said to the slave maid more than once that Mr. Ming's face-to-face remarks certainly displeased him, but it also truly confirmed Mr. Ming's insistence on advocacy and disregard for the powerful, Mr. Ming's courage to say what he thought in his heart is a rare quality in itself, not to mention, maybe it is really as Mr. Ming said——"

Seeing that Wan'er had some scruples and paused, Empress Wu urged: "But it doesn't hurt to say it, I summoned you in this hall today, just to hope that you know everything and say everything." She may not fully believe Wan'er's words, but Wan'er's words do sound comforting. Someone admires and boasts about Ming Chongyan like this, and the Empress Wu is undoubtedly happy in her heart.

Wan'er got the approval, still made a very cautious appearance, and said slowly: "Your Highness said bluntly, maybe he is really not suitable to be the prince, the position of the East Palace should be a sage, he is not as good as the King of England, and there are also places that are not as good as the King of Xiang, the only advantage is that the brothers are older." ”

"When did he become so humble?" Empress Wu pondered for a while, as if talking to herself, her face tightened, and she clearly used a questioning tone, "Wan'er, whether you and the prince are happy with each other, or whether they are acting on the spot, I don't care, I just want you to understand that no emotion is long-lasting, don't say it for him, let alone hide it for him...... Your future is not easy to come by, and it can be ruined for any reason, but it must not be for a man, this is the word in my heart, and it is also the experience and conclusion I have come to over the years. ”

Wan'er was a little moved, she understood that although the Empress Wu had a sense of temptation, but there was no lack of sincerity, in the face of an elder's earnest words, she hesitated slightly, and finally lay down a heart unmoved, "I respect the queen, and I also admire His Royal Highness the Prince, in the eyes of the slave maid, you and the prince are unreachable people, the slave and maid are ashamed of themselves, and they can't afford to cling to each other, you have no two hearts for the mother, and the mother and the palace are the mother and son who are connected by blood, and the slave and the maid serve His Highness, and they are also serving the mother." What the slave maid saw and heard in the East Palace during this period of time was reasonable, and His Royal Highness was cold and warm, and he actually respected and attached to the mother. ”

"I criticize him so harshly, how can he be attached to me?" Empress Wu asked with a lukewarm smile.

"As a parent, you naturally have high expectations for your children, even if there are occasional harshness, it is only because of the depth of love and responsibility." Wan'er took over, "Your Highness naturally understands this truth. ”

Empress Wu stretched out her sleeves, revealing a piece of her wrist, as if she didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, and said lightly, "Walk in the garden with me." Wan'er said yes and stepped forward to support her.

"The prince's words and deeds are no longer a matter of his personal cultivation, but at the very least, they can be described as the foundation of the country." Empress Wu walked on the one hand, and on the other hand, she told without any feelings, "Wan'er, you have a great responsibility, take good care of it." Although you are a daughter, you should also have the heart to take the world as your own responsibility, which is not the privilege of those scholars. ”

Saying such an embarrassing thing as closely monitoring the crown prince Li Xian was so high-sounding, Wan'er felt a little disgusted in her heart, but she felt that from a literal understanding, Empress Wu's words were exciting, and her fighting spirit that was unwilling to be mediocre was once again successfully stimulated.

In the East Palace, Li Xian sat down on a stone bench in the shade of a tree, holding a scroll in his hand, but his mind flew far away. Since he had that night of warmth with Wan'er, the burden on his shoulders no longer seemed so heavy. As long as Wan'er stayed by his side, he felt that that steadfastness and fearlessness could continue to be maintained.

Wan'er was full of worries, and on the way back to the East Palace, her thoughts were complicated, and at this moment, when she saw Li Xian's stunned appearance from a distance, she unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth, deliberately teasing him. So, Wan'er stretched out her index finger and shouted at the guards soldiers on duty, walked behind Li Xian lightly, stretched out her hands, and blindfolded him.

Although Li Xian was distracted, he was not surprised, he knew that he could have such a move, except for Wan'er, there was no one else, but if it was exposed at once, I was afraid that Wan'er would feel bored. Thinking like this, he pretended to say, "Who? It's not a small amount of courage! Is that you? Ling Yue? Wan'er didn't laugh out loud, and she didn't say no.

Li Xian suppressed his joy and looked serious, "Dare to play with the prince, it's really getting more and more out of proportion, beware of my punishment of your crimes." ”

"That's the best, Your Highness Chrysostom, you must speak and count." Wan'er slowly let go of her hand and said coquettishly, "I'm really stupid, making such a meaningless joke, you must have known that it was me, and you still cooperated with this play." ”

Li Xian held her hand, stood up, stared at her and said, "I really didn't know it was you, thinking that such a naughty and willful woman in the palace, only my family is too peaceful." ”

Wan'er tilted her head and teased, "Are you so sure of being a woman?" Knowing that this was a stupid question, he continued, "It turns out that I am also a naughty and willful, but I must not be compared with the princess, please redeem Wan'er for her rude behavior." ”

Li Xian touched her face, only to feel that the palm of his hand was warm, and said with a smile: "Between you and me, do you still need such politeness?" I just didn't expect my Wan'er to come back at this point in time. He knew that Wan'er was summoned by Empress Wu, and he also told a small lie, in fact, he had been waiting for Wan'er.

"After all, I am the person next to the queen, and I must return to her." Wan'er told the truth.

Li Xian still smiled, "She is the queen and my mother, even if you are no longer in the East Palace, we can still see each other from time to time." ”

Wan'er nodded according to his meaning, he didn't ask what Wan'er talked to the Empress Wu, and Wan'er didn't say a word about what she said in front of the Empress Wu, the two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

Li Xian took Wan'er's hand, walked around along the stone path, and suddenly said, "Wan'er, celebrate the Yuan Festival with me this year, okay?" ”

"It's still early on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month." Wan'er replied.

Li Xian whispered, "It's just a matter of fingers, and you need to plan ahead." At the end, he added, "Besides, this is my favorite holiday." ”

Wan'er panicked for no reason, secretly reproached herself for thinking indiscriminately, and said with a slight movement of her lips: "I also love the fire tree silver flower the most." ”

Li Xian's eyes flashed with a glimmer, getting brighter and brighter, but his tone was a little unfamiliar, "I like the meaning of the Shangyuan Festival, and I also hope to share all kinds of joys in the world with my beloved." ”

This sounds like a hot love talk, but Wan'er didn't dare to be confused, she was very vigilant, "Wan'er is so lucky to be able to light a lamp with His Royal Highness to worship the Buddha." ”

"You have always been evasive and trivial, my future, our future, should not just wait and see, but to fight." The rebellious prince was excited, his blood gradually cooled, and he used a ruthless and resolute voice, "There are many theories about the origin of the Shangyuan Festival, but I have always been sure of only one, that is, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty in order to celebrate the rebellion of Kanping Zhulu. ”

Li Xian's reference has its own origin: when Gaozu of the Han Dynasty died, Liu Ying, the son of Empress Lu, ascended the throne as emperor. Helpless, Liu Ying was indecisive, cowardly and incompetent, and Empress Lu began to monopolize power, turning the Liu family into the world of the Lu family, and the Liu royal family was deeply indignant about this, but they were intimidated by the obscenity of Empress Lu and trapped by the limited strength, and the children of the clan could only break their teeth and swallow blood. Empress Lu died of illness, and his nephew Lu Lu was a wolf and took the opportunity to rebel. Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, contacted the old ministers of the court to raise troops to fight and put down the Lü rebellion. Liu Heng ascended the throne, that is, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, prayed to create a prosperous era and no more blood, so he set the fifteenth day of the first month of the first month to quell the "Zhulu Rebellion" as a festival, and ordered all households in the capital to put up lanterns and celebrate together.

And Wan'er said that the lamp worship Buddha originated from the Eastern Han Dynasty Ming Emperor, Ming Emperor believed in Buddhism, because the fifteenth day of the first month monks have the Buddha relics, light the lamp to worship the Buddha's etiquette, Emperor Ming made this night also in the palace to light the lamp to worship the Buddha, Li Shu people have followed suit, are hanging lamps at home, thus forming the Lantern Festival, that is, the Shangyuan Festival.

These are obviously two very different statements, implying fundamental differences and contradictions.

Wan'er didn't speak for a long time, Li Xian saw that she was silent, realized that Fang Cai's words were abrupt, and adjusted her demeanor and tone, "It's okay, I can't force people to make things difficult, let alone ask for everything to go well." ”

"You didn't get what I meant." Wan'er finally defended, she didn't seem to be in a hurry, on the contrary, she was so slow that people were anxious, "No matter what Your Highness thinks or does, I don't ask the reason for right or wrong, I will turn to you, even if I am harming you towards you, I will not correct it, why do I want to do this?" In fact, the reason is very simple, once you decide something, no matter who it is, you can't change it at all, so why should I hurt the feelings between each other...... I like this majestic palace, and as for the thatched huts, it depends on who they are with. ”

She glanced at Li Xian deeply, her face was cold and solemn, "This is what I promised you, I am willing to be that person, and the white head is not negative." ”

Li Xian was a little remorseful, he had questioned Wan'er a little heavier before, and he wanted to apologize, but after thinking about it, if the big thing is done, he will give her a lifetime of glory and accompany her to have a strong love for the moon, which is the best, but he has no chance of winning, it has really reached the point of exhaustion, can he really bear to let Wan'er fall into the countryside and become an exiled sinner? Or there will be worse results......

He was scared, but he didn't intend to back down, so he still said with a cold face: "I like you, but no matter how much I like it, there is a degree, maybe there is a deadline, I promise lightly, it is beyond my ability." We are both rational and emotional people, so we are both affectionate and ruthless, so don't blame me today, and don't blame me tomorrow. ”

The prince's painstaking grace is somewhat understood, as long as her heart is still bearable, she doesn't say anything, pretending to hook Li Xian's neck lightly, snorting, and saying the same heavy words, "Even so, as long as it is not the day when the song ends, I will always be a person who is amorous and hateful...... The queen thought that you killed Ming Chongyan and told me to keep an eye on your whereabouts, but she finally overestimated my ability and place in your heart, and she must be disappointed if she attaches so much importance to me...... But you will not be disappointed in me, I will slowly tell you the heart of the queen as a mother, the person concerned is fascinated, she loves you, and also cares for you, but you don't believe it, because you always only look at her with your eyes, and you refuse to ...... with your heart."

"Enough!" Li Xian interrupted her, and the hand on her shoulder unconsciously increased its strength, and said bitterly: "You don't have to tell me this, isn't it good that we are suspicious of each other?" Isn't it good that you retain your loyalty to the queen and your affection for me? Most likely, in the end, the person who can protect you will not be me, but her, my mother......"

His voice became lower and lower, almost to the point of being inaudible, but Wan'er heard it very clearly, she hugged him, and said in a nickname: "There is only one way, you submit to defeat now, so that she will not win." ”

It's really thunderous!

Li Xian was stunned for a moment, such a simple truth has not been able to understand it, he pondered for a long time, sighed, and held Wan'er's chin, "Wan'er, you let me think about it again." ”

Wan'er turned her face sideways, knelt down in his arms, only to feel tired in her heart, silently closed her eyes.

In fact, Wan'er has long seen that the biggest obstacle between the empress and Li Xian, the eminent mother and son, is nothing more than the word power, and she is not the only one who can see it, almost everyone can see it. Empress Wu hated Li Xian as the crown prince, repeatedly challenged her absolute authority, and as a son of man, she did not have enough respect and love for her; Li Xian, who is in the position of the prince, does not like his mother's shrewdness and indifference to his family, and is more and more tired of her tough and domineering style...... They competed against each other, step by step to the opposite side, and the bond called family affection between them became tighter and tighter, and neither of them was willing to take the initiative to take a step towards the other first, so it caused the current tense situation.

Finding the crux of the problem, Wan'er has the heart to use her subtle identity to ease the situation. Since then, when she met with Empress Wu again and again to report on the prince's recent situation, she would use clever language to hint at Li Xian's inner entanglement and anxiety, she said that the prince just looked lonely, but in fact he was very lonely, such a person is prone to unexpected behavior, just need attention, and care as much as he is rebellious.

In the face of Li Xian, in addition to being full of admiration, Wan'er also moved a little careful thinking, she secretly inquired about some of Li Xian's childhood experiences, especially the details of getting along with Empress Wu, pretending to talk about it inadvertently, she used a woman's unique perspective to euphemistically tell the things in her heart, for example, whenever Empress Wu saw spring bamboo shoots on the food table, she would let people withdraw, but the reason was unknown, Wan'er pretended to be surprised, but she knew in her heart that Li Xian must understand the reason, it was because he ate bamboo shoots when he was three years old and his arm was itchy...... She also asked Li Xian why the Empress Wu preferred red embroidered shirts, and the maids privately felt that the Empress Wu was extremely beautiful in plain colors, Li Xian was silent, recalling that when she was young, she saw her mother wearing a pale yellow skirt, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of a pomegranate tree in full bloom, and said casually: "If the queen mother wears a pomegranate-colored dress, it must look better than this pomegranate flower!" ”

The past that I thought had long since disappeared was so clear that it seemed like it was just yesterday, Li Xian sat quietly and thought about it for longer and longer, he no longer told Wan'er what he was thinking, he knew very well that Wan'er understood him.
