In the end, the Empress Wu loved her daughter, the proposal of the British King Li Xian was successfully adopted, and the birthday banquet of the Taiping princess Li Lingyue was both joyful and interesting, and the dance music and singing lyrics from the folk were refreshing, and the high-nosed and deep-eyed Hu people sang and danced, and it was even more by virtue of adding a little glory to the prosperity of the dynasty.

Li Lingyue is very satisfied with the arrangement of her mother and brother, from childhood to adulthood, her status in the royal family is the most special, because of the early death of Princess Andingsi, Empress Wu poured a special love into her. Empress Wu gave birth to a total of four sons and two daughters, the sudden death of the eldest son Li Hong is a lingering haze and hidden pain in the family, and the death of Princess Andingsi is a taboo in the palace.

After a full day of entertainment in Lin De Palace, Ling Yue, who was still in high spirits, dragged Wan'er to continue drinking in the pavilion around the Taiye Pool, although she was slightly drunk, she was not sleepy at all, on the contrary, she was surprisingly excited, compared to the past, there were many words.

Wan'er was worried that the princess would hurt her body by drinking too much, and she was even more worried about the emotional gap when the princess withdrew from the extreme joy, so she said softly: "Princess, you see that the wine in this agate cup is almost drunk, and there are few good-looking fruits left in the glass plate. ”

Ling Yue lay on the stone table and smiled, "It's still early, what are you resting for?" What's more, even looking at these cups and plates, they are extremely pleasing to the eye. Turning his head to look at Wan'er, he suddenly asked, "I'm not much older than you, when was your birthday?" ”

Wan'er was asked, thought about it and replied lightly: "The slave can't remember, and she never has a birthday." Reaching over and lifting Ling Yue up from the stone table, "It's too cold up here." ”

"I know you've suffered, but Wan'er, you're different from other palace maids after all, your mother and brother like you very much, and I-" After a short pause, he simply said honestly, "Actually, I didn't like you at first, you know, a princess, the only daughter of the queen, can't be as good as a little female official." You are very beautiful, and you are beautiful without knowing it, but I am different, I am very sure of myself, my beauty is inherently aggressive, I am afraid that many people secretly don't like it, but I don't care...... You are also very talented, and the poems you write make me ashamed, but many things you don't understand only I understand, you don't understand the way to survive in this deep palace, I am willing to teach you, but I am worried that the day you shine is the day I am eclipsed. I'm different from my brothers, if they like you, it's a big deal to take you back, it's a face-saving thing to have a woman like you by your side, but what about me, if I appreciate you and like you, I will be embarrassed, and I have to watch out for you. ”

Princess Taiping's words could not be described as insincere, but Wan'er's attitude was very calm, and she said with a smile and earnestness: "Princess, you are a little drunk, only when you are drunk will you say such foolish things." Wan'er is just a slave, thanks to the queen of heaven's mother, she has a way out. I am the slave of the queen of heaven, and I am also the slave of the princess. I don't pay any attention to what the princess will think of me as a person, this is not what I should think and ponder, but also beyond my duty, all I can think about is how to write every edict with all my heart, and I can understand what kind of thinking and game it is after seeing the annotations on the fold. I'm not afraid of princess jokes, I don't like piano and chess, I don't like calligraphy and painting, I don't have the heart to compete for favor and invite merit, and I don't want to go to the palace to serve a few highnesses...... I just want to have a simple but different life, neither humble nor arrogant, calm and calm. ”

Ling Yue grabbed the wine jug and wanted to pour wine into the cup, a pair of jewel-like eyes exuded a faint brilliance in the night, "That's why I said, Wan'er, you are different from others, I like to be with different people, so I won't be bored, let alone slack...... I am especially afraid of living a mediocre and ordinary life in this house. ”

"The slave will always be by the princess's side, not the icing on the cake, nor the charcoal in the snow, but just a confidant for the princess when she is lonely and helpless, and she will bear a meager sorrow for the princess when she is upset." As she spoke, Wan'er took out the wine jug from Ling Yue's hand, put a cloak on her side, and whispered slowly, "Of course, the slave maid hopes that the princess will always be happy and healthy, and she will never need a slave like me." ”
