Although Wan'er and Wu Sansi take what they need, they are not without emotional foundation, like many couples, there are intimacy, there are disputes, the contradictions between them are always there, and it is difficult to reconcile the focus of Lichu, but Wan'er's attitude is no longer as tough as before, on the contrary, it has softened a lot, Wu Sansi thought that her mind was loose, and her heart was full of joy, but she didn't know that Wan'er had a different plan, she didn't support Wu Sansi, but she looked far-reaching, Li Tang was orthodox, If the children of the Wu clan become the prince, not only will they not be able to serve the public, but they will also have endless troubles, and they may even bring disaster to themselves. Wan'er's prevention of all this is also a preservation of Wu Sansi in a sense.

"I can satisfy your ambitions, but I will find a way to preserve you." This is a solemn promise Wan'er made to him after a quarrel.

Wu Sansi didn't care at the time, but scoffed: "You protect me? Hehe, maybe between us is who will protect whom? ”

Wan'er was not angry, tidied up her hair bun, and said softly: "After all, we have an extraordinary fate between us, and what I can do is from my heart, all for the good of the overall situation." ”

"Your so-called overall situation is dedicated to the surname Li? I really can't figure it out, there is an old folk saying, you can't sleep two people in one bed, none of us is more innocent than the other, what are you sticking to? If I get ahead and become a master, will it still be bad for you? Wu Sansi became more and more angry the more he talked.

"Think twice, you are already a master, the more you want, the greater your expectations, and the easier it is to be disappointed."

"I really don't want to listen to your preaching, why do you want to do this when you are not a pure-hearted person—" He wanted to accuse her of being sanctimonious, but thought about it seemed too much, so he choked on the words and looked at her fixedly.

Wan'er raised the corners of her mouth and brought a smile: "I know that you know me best, since you know each other so well, why hurt each other?" If you have wine today and get drunk today, you just think too much and always lose your interest! He got up and hooked his neck, his eyes shining brighter than the sunlight outside the window.

"Less of this!" Wu Sansi didn't buy it, but his hands were very honest, and he hugged her, and after a while, he whispered in her ear, "Wan'er, you are my nemesis!" ”

Having said that, Wu Sansi also understood that it was not Wan'er who was restraining him, and the person who really hindered him from realizing his lofty ambitions was his aunt Wu Cao.

There are always people who find ways to test this forbidden area, and the Empress is annoyed by it.

After the incident with the black face, the empress gave Wan'er more trust, and would ask her for advice from time to time, even if it was private.

Wan'er always knew that the empress was vacillating in the establishment of the prince, and she had not really made up her mind, and she still needed a proper opportunity.

After receiving a summons on this day, Wan'er hurriedly went to see the empress, and happened to meet Zhang Changzong, who had withdrawn from the palace, and the two took a face-to-face meeting, but they didn't say anything, and they didn't even make eye contact.

Zhang Changzong felt guilty, although he intended to explain, but he was instructed by the fifth brother Zhang Yizhi early, and he repeatedly warned that if he didn't want to cause unwarranted disasters for Shangguan Wan'er, the best way was to stay away, even if they didn't know each other. Zhang Changzong didn't want to trouble her anymore, let alone get into trouble, and gradually got used to being a ruthless person. Zhang Yizhi's indoctrination also played an expected role at this time, Zhang Changzong began to feel anxious and pressure, and suddenly had a longing for the future and the future, which coincided with the long-term cause that Zhang Yiyi wanted, and the two brothers began to reach an agreement, except for the indestructible position, the rest were empty, useless, and not worth pursuing.

Seeing the empress, Wan'er sighed in her heart that the empress had obviously been haggard and old in the past year, and it was imperative to determine the candidate for the position of the prince.

"The slave has seen Your Majesty, and you dare to ask Your Majesty, but the dragon is sick?" Seeing that Wu Cao had been pressing the corners of his forehead with his hands, his eyebrows were twisted together, Wan'er showed concern.

The empress sighed and frowned: "Every once in a while, someone will be on the fold, either to recommend this or to sponsor that, all of them are forcing me to make a decision, and they are all secretly pregnant with ghosts!" This is only on the surface, and behind the scenes, I don't know how far to gang up and promise each other! ”

Wan'er understood as soon as she heard it, stepped forward to straighten out the messy folds, and comforted her in a warm voice: "It's all a simple heart, and it's also for my great Zhou Dynasty for thousands of generations and longevity, why do you bother Your Majesty." ”

The empress sighed again, and couldn't help but be heavy: "But Wan'er, tell me, which dynasty has really lasted for thousands of years?" If you can't do it in the past, Da Zhou will definitely be able to do it? ”

Wan'er couldn't say it directly, but she skillfully resolved: "Future generations have their own well-being, we just need to do a good job in the present, it is enough." What's more, no matter what, Your Majesty, your great achievements will go down in history, and future generations will be proud of you! ”

Wu Cao finally got a little relief, and his facial expression stretched slightly, "Honestly, who do you think is the most suitable?" ”

asked implicitly, but Wan'er answered clearly: "The slave maid thinks that His Royal Highness King Wei is very good." ”

This was something the Empress had not expected, and she wondered and asked, "How could it be him?" Wan'er, what do you think? ”

Wan'er smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, King Wei is the leader of the clan and your closest relative, whether in terms of prestige or qualifications, it is difficult for anyone to compare with him." ”

The Empress paused: "Maybe it used to be like this. The words are full of uncertainty.

"Your Majesty is still unhappy because of the fact that King Wei sent a fake maiden into the palace back then?" Wan'er's smile has not diminished, but it has become more and more feminine.

This was a thing that the empress had long forgotten, but when she suddenly recalled it, she felt that she had been fooled, and she used a tone of hatred that iron could not be made of steel: "For the sake of a little selfish gain, he deceived the world like this, so how can I entrust me with a heavy responsibility?" Cheng Hei is not trustworthy, he and Haruzakura teamed up to plot against me, and I have done my best to them! ”

Wan'er asked again at the right time: "Isn't there still King Liang?" He is a manufacturable material and the hope of His Majesty. ”

The empress smiled bitterly: "Think twice and don't have your own ideas, his city is deeper than the heir." ”

"But all people have thoughts, why should Your Majesty ask for all the blame?" Wan'er's words were blunt.

The empress is not easily provoked, she has narrow-mindedness, but more magnanimity, but at this time she is a little impatient with the topic itself, waving her hand, "Speaking of this, I have a headache, and let me slow down a little longer, I am not about to lose my breath." ”

Wan'er immediately knelt down and confessed: "The slave and maid lost their words, Your Majesty lives with the sky!" ”

"Okay, it has nothing to do with you, and it is rumored that you came here to ask if there are outstanding talents in this year's imperial examination?" Raising her hand, she motioned for Wan'er to get up and reply.

Wan'er picked up her skirt and got up, she did have a group of young talents in her heart for selection, but the empress personally asked, and she could only pick the most brilliant one.

Speaking of available people, Wan'er's chatterbox opened, and the empress listened to it with relish, until she was a little sleepy before she ordered Wan'er to retreat.

Wan'er still has unfinished official business, so she hurried to the political hall after retiring, wanting to take advantage of the fact that several elders were asking for advice. Walking around the corner of the corridor, a slender figure flashed, he appeared a little suddenly, but I don't know if it was intentional.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the King of Linzi."

Li Longji snorted coldly: "The Neishe people are still in such a hurry, is it really so attractive to work for the martial family?" ”

is still the child who dares to think and speak, Wan'er hasn't looked at him carefully for a long time, and at this time she suddenly realized that Xiao Apu seemed to have grown into a teenager, with a beautiful pear vortex under the corners of her lips.

She also realized that Li Longji had never called her anything, but now he called her "Neisheren" like others, which made people feel very disappointed.

Sure enough, Li Longji, who had a grudge in his heart, didn't wait for her to answer and said: "I don't know if the Neishe people lack shame, or if they are scholars who lie down and taste their courage, the palace people praise how delicate the plum blossom makeup of the Neishe people is, but in my opinion, it is really a desire to cover up and be very eye-catching." ”

Wan'er has always been tolerant of him, and she actually smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Linzi has taught him that slaves and maids should not be so ostentatious, let alone incorruptible and shameless. Seeing the corners of his lips twitching, his delicate and clean face had both vigorous vitality and newborn pride, and he rejoiced in his heart: "I wonder how His Highness has been doing recently?" Reading is also smooth, listening to people, His Royal Highness's equestrian skills have improved a lot, and it is important to pay attention to safety. How is the emperor's heir? The things of the elixir cannot be fully trusted, and I ask Your Highness to explain it properly-"

"Do you really care about us that much?" Li Longji cut off her words in a stiff voice, and questioned even more indifferently: "In the final analysis, the matter of your punishment is to blame, not everyone can be contaminated, and the Neishe people must be carried away!" You are delicate and comfortable in the crowd, I can't control this, and I don't care about it, but if you are bent on helping those greedy people of the martial family who are not righteous, and do things that damage the prestige of my Li family, I will not agree to it first...... I know that you don't take me seriously, I don't pose any threat to you, yes, I admit that I can't fight against you today, but since ancient times, evil has not prevailed, and you will not always take the lead. ”

Is he writing a war book? Wan'er was still smiling, but she didn't know that this indifferent smile had become an undisguised contempt in Li Longji's eyes.

"Your Highness is serious, since Your Highness knows about my punishment, then you must know what is written on my forehead. I'm just your royal slave, and all I do is minutiae, and your torso can't be shaken, and not even every leaf that falls will fall on my head. I am deeply grateful that Your Highness has such an idea, which proves that you look up to me, but I am also ashamed of myself, I really don't have the ability. Wan'er said this, but felt that her meaning was still unfinished, and then said: "Your Highness, I have no intention of being an enemy of the Li family, on the contrary, I have a very close personal relationship with the emperor and the princess, and I have a deep relationship with the Li family, you don't need to fight with me, I can't represent the evil side, and the so-called justice may not be invulnerable." ”

Li Longji's face couldn't see the waves, and he lost his words: "Clever words!" "Turn around and walk away as usual.

Wan'er only felt that he was willful, and secretly thought that it was you who took the initiative to provoke, and it was you who made the assertions. I can't help but listen or argue, but I don't know how much he listened and how much he believed.

Thinking about it like this, I couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and at this time, someone put his hand on her shoulder, and the cynical voice came straight into her ears: "What? This young and handsome little prince is also eye-catching? ”
