The Inner Literature Museum is not a very beautiful building, and the collection of books in the museum is not rich, but because of the unique favor of the Empress Wu, all kinds of furnishings are readily available, and it is extraordinarily spacious and bright. Originally, there was a eunuch in the court who acted as a doctor of palace education, specializing in teaching palace maids calligraphy, arithmetic, singing and dancing, etc., but Wan'er never had a strong interest, and when she knew the existence of the Inner Literature Museum, the yearning in her heart increased day by day.

On that day, Su'e was very arrogant, brought Wan'er to Old Master Gu, and said a little tricky: "Old Master Gu, this is Wan'er." There seems to be a lot of mention of Wan'er in the words.

Old Master Gu was flipping through a scroll that was already very old, raised his eyes, and used a tone that seemed to be blamed: "The books that I often 'borrow' from you in this school are for this little girl, right?" The old man has admired the name for a long time. ”

Wan'er covered her mouth and tried not to laugh out loud: "Wan'er doesn't dare to be." ”

Su'e took it for granted: "What 'stealing' is obviously borrowing, but I want to add one more word like that." The old bachelor is more serious. ”

Old Master Gu put the scroll away, his hands looked a little thin, and he said to Wan'er: "Wan'er, you should have come to this academy a long time ago, this is the most suitable place for you in the court." Tell me, what have you done in the past few years? ”

Wan'er was unconvinced: "Old bachelor, how do you know that my time is wasted?" Although the sky is boxy and has only one corner, I have always looked at people and things with my heart, because the illusion is often blurred as far as the eye can see. ”

"Is that so?" The old man, who was full of wisdom and had experienced many vicissitudes, looked at the girl in front of him, who was only in her early tens, not as if he was questioning, but rather as if he was confirming.

"For example, I am in the court and have never been to the Western Regions, but I have already seen all kinds of strange things with the "Legend of the Western Regions", blown through the desert wind, and drank the wine brewed by Pu Tao......" Wan'er put her hands behind her back and said in a good manner.

Old Master Gu shook his head with a smile, and deliberately glared at Su E: "No wonder I couldn't find my "Chronicles of the Western Regions" for a while, but I didn't expect Su E to even dare to start my beloved book, there are really no rules at all." ”

Su E deliberately turned a blind eye, and Chong Wan'er made a grimace, with a hint of naughtiness in her respect: "Old bachelor, we two unruly girls have given you a bow today, although I have been in the academy for a long time, but this form has never been expressed, and it is not too late to make up for it today." ”

The two girls learned from the man in front of Old Master Gu and made a big salute.

Old Master Gu couldn't afford it, and waved his hand again and again: "This can be a pain in me, you two-" For a while, he didn't make a proper description, and simply sighed meaningfully, "It's up to you, don't go to study soon!" The ruler in my hand is far less merciful than my own! ”

In the Inner Literature Museum, Wan'er spent a long but fulfilling time, and the cold life did not make her depressed and vulgar, but gave her infinite inspiration and reverie. She grew up day by day, but she had no time to take care of the beauty of her face and the slenderness of her figure, and she always had an unsolved mystery in her heart, and she wanted to find out from the old bachelor Gu more than once, but the old bachelor either pretended to be behind her ears, or yawned all the time, and never answered her questions head-on.

"I wonder if Taizong liked Empress Wu? At that time, she was obviously a talented person in Taizong. This bold question was asked by Wan'er again and again, and this time she asked it so bluntly and undisguisedly that the old bachelor froze on the spot and did not move at all.

After a while, he raised his eyebrows, which were no longer pitch black, and said indifferently: "The women in the palace are all broken-mouthed, and they know that trouble comes from their mouths, but they often dig their own graves, but Wan'er, you must not be for more talk." Then he added, "It's dangerous." ”

Wan'er's expression was extremely serious: "I'm not curious, I just want to know how she did it, there must be something extraordinary in this." ”

"For a woman, there is no more powerful weapon than beauty and brain, both of which are often unfortunate. The hardest stone in the world is not split with a knife and axe, but pierced by drops of water. After saying this, the old bachelor turned into the library, leaving Wan'er standing still.

It was night, and Wan'er carefully recalled what Old Master Gu had said, and seemed to understand it.
