In the morning, the back hall of the palace of the prime minister in Luoyang, the capital

The princess pulled Aixue to the back and said busily, "The emperor summoned you, I think it's for that matter, have you figured out what to say?"

Ai Xue was taken aback, and said in her heart, "Beauty, didn't she promise to tell the emperor? Your Majesty, why does she still want to see me? Isn't it ......?"

The princess wondered, "Love snow?"

Aixue came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "Huh? Mother."

The princess hurriedly said, "What's wrong with you? The emperor saw you this time, nine times out of ten, for that matter, I asked you if you have thought about how to tell the emperor?"

Aixue hesitated: "I ......."

The princess hurriedly said, "Have you thought about it, in front of the emperor, you can't talk nonsense."

Ai Xue hesitated slightly, and hurriedly said, "Mother, don't worry, I've thought about it."

The princess was surprised, "Really? You've got it all figured out?"

Ai Xue hurriedly said, "Well, I've thought it all through."

The princess looked at Aixue and nodded, "Well, it's good if you think about it, remember, you must be measured, you know?"

Aixue said, "Yes, I know."

The princess said, "That's good." Seeing Yuhu coming out, he hurriedly said, "Yulan, you quickly take the princess of the county to change clothes, don't let Gonggong Zhang wait for a long time."

Jade Fox hurriedly said, "It's the princess." As he spoke, he bowed and said, "Princess of the County."

Aixue was helpless for a while, and hurriedly said, "Then I'll go change my clothes." Take the jade fox and go inside.

The princess couldn't help but worry when she watched Ai Xue go away, and hurriedly turned around and went back to the hall......

In the morning, at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Luoyang, the capital

The princess watched Aixue's sedan chair go to the palace, and she couldn't help but worry for a while......

The jade fox followed the palanquin, and saw the princess worried in the corner of her eyes, as if she was thoughtful......

In the sedan chair, Aixue clenched her hands, frowned, and was worried for a while......

In the morning, the Imperial Garden of Luoyang Imperial Palace in Beijing

Ai Xue worriedly followed the father-in-law on the path, looked up, but saw the water pavilion in the distance, and saw Wu Zetian sitting at the stone table chatting with a woman in red from a distance, it seemed to be very pleasant, and after a closer look, the woman was a beauty, and she was surprised.

Seeing Aixue stop, Gonggong Zhang hurriedly reminded, "Let's go, the emperor is waiting there."

Ai Xue hurriedly said, "Oh." followed Gonggong Zhang over, but his heart sank even more.

After a while, Gonggong Zhang walked up to Wu Zetian with Aixue, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the princess of the county has brought it."

Ai Xue hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Granddaughter-in-law Ai Xue has seen the imperial grandmother."

Wu Zetian looked at Ai Xue, nodded and said, "Ai Xue is here, come, sit down." He pointed across from him.

Ai Xue hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you, Emperor." As he spoke, he stood up and sat down lightly to the side.

Wu Zetian glanced at Aixue, hesitated and turned to the beauty, "I heard that you were originally studying art from a master in Penglai Immortal Island, is it true?" 、

The beauty nodded and said, "Yes, the emperor, when I was very young, I learned art from my master and her old man."

Wu Zetian said: "Well, then Penglai should be on the eastern sea, right? Compared to this place in the capital, is that place better?"

The beauty said: "Penglai is indeed on the sea, in the past, you had to take a sea boat, compared with the capital, but it has its own scenery, which is not better."

Wu Zetian was curious: "Really? It must be a good place, alas, but unfortunately I haven't been there, and I've never seen what the sea is like." Seeing that Aixue lowered her head and grabbed the corner of her clothes, she looked very embarrassed, and said, "By the way, I heard Longji say that you met again, when you returned to Panlong Town, or at night, you saved his life from a female ghost, right?"

The beauty glanced at Aixue and hurriedly said, "Yes, the emperor, but it was all a coincidence."

Ai Xue's heart tightened, Wu Zetian smiled slightly, nodded and said, "In this way, you are still LONGi's life-saving benefactor, this is not simple...... I also heard Longji say that when Aixue was critically ill, it was you who went to Wuzhuang with him to ask for ginseng fruit regardless of previous suspicions, so that you saved Aixue?"

The beauty was embarrassed for a while, and she didn't know how to answer, Ai Xue's heart tightened and she bit her lip.

Wu Zetian thought for a while, stood up and walked to the handrail, looked at the lake and said: "I remember that there is a folk legend that says that in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hongnong Huayin, there was a man named Yang Bao, when he was nine years old, he saw a yellow finch bitten by a very vicious big owl, and was surrounded by a bunch of ants, it was very dangerous, he had compassion, saved the injured yellow finch, placed the yellow finch in the box to protect it, and fed the yellow finch with yellow flowers, until the yellow finch was healed from the injury and let it go...... After the incident, one night, Yang Bao dreamed that the yellow bird turned into a boy in yellow and came back to repay the favor, the boy said, I am the messenger of the Queen Mother of the West, Jun Ren loves to save the life, and he really feels that he has become a beneficiary, and he gave Yang Bao four white rings, and instructed that the gentleman Sun is white, and he will be on the throne for three things, and when it is so circumferential, the boy in yellow will disappear after saying these words...... Since then, Yang Bao's son Yang Zhen, grandson Yang Bing, great-grandson Yang Ci, and great-grandson Yang Biao have all been as the boy in yellow said, the fourth Taiwei, the virtue and industry successively, all of them are officials to the third duke, and they are very innocent in terms of moral integrity, and they have become legendary stories at that time......" said and sat back at the table.

Seeing that the beauty and Aixue were silent, she picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said indifferently, "Aixue, do you understand what I mean?"

Ai Xue felt a pain in her heart, and a tear couldn't help but burst out of her eyes and drip down......

The scene was silent for a while, and after a while, Ai Xue raised her head and said gloomily, "The imperial grandmother has good intentions, and Ai Xue naturally understands."

Wu Zetian nodded and said: "Well, it's good that you understand, since the three emperors and five emperors, men in this world have three wives and four concubines, which is very common, not to mention the emperor's generals, the emperor's relatives and relatives, you are good sisters, and Emperor You'e is ......

Aixue was sad in her heart, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty ......."

Wu Zetian and the beauty were shocked, and Wu Zetian wondered, "Do you have any questions?"

Ai Xue said excitedly: "There are many ways to repay the favor, do you have to make a promise to Longji him?"

Wu Zetian and the beauty were shocked, Wu Zetian was embarrassed for a while, and Ai Xue continued: "If it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines, then since ancient times, it is also common sense for men to be emperors, so let me ask, why are you a daughter, grandmother?"

Everyone was shocked, Wu Zetian was stunned, angry, and suddenly stood up and shouted, "You are bold."

Everyone was shocked, and the beauties and the palace eunuchs hurriedly knelt down and said, "The emperor is angry."

Ai Xue stood up calmly, knelt to the side and said, "Granddaughter-in-law knows, Imperial Grandmother, you are the Ninety-Five, what you say is correct, no one dares to contradict you, but if you insist on marrying Longji, please forgive your daughter-in-law for being difficult to obey."

Wu Zetian said angrily: "Okay, you Bai Aixue...... It is true that I am the Ninety-Five, do you dare to disobey my orders? You have to know the consequences."

Ai Xue said sadly, "The consequences? Of course the granddaughter-in-law knows, but even if you want to give death to Aixue, Aixue will never agree to Longji to marry someone else."

Wu Zetian said angrily, "You...... You keep talking, one Longji at a time, do you know that I can give you death, and naturally I can let Longji take a leave of absence from you."

Ai Xue was taken aback, looked at Wu Zetian in surprise, and said hurriedly: "No, Longji won't leave me, he won't."

Wu Zetian sneered, "No? You know he won't? That's how you know him? But I can tell you, what if I force hundreds of lives in the Prime Minister's Palace? Do you think he'll still choose you?"

Ai Xue was startled and collapsed to the ground, Wu Zetian sighed and said, "As a woman, sometimes you can't take yourself too seriously, it's so big that you cover your eyes, otherwise, in front of you, it will be a dead end at any time."

Ai Xue was startled and muttered, "Dead end, dead end......

Wu Zetian said indifferently: "I'm not afraid to tell you, even if you don't agree today, you have to agree in the future, this is already a sure thing, you want Longji not to marry anyone else for the rest of your life, I don't think you want to be the princess of this county."

Aixue was in pain for a while, shook her head and said, "No, no, no, I will never allow him to marry someone else."

Wu Zetian laughed angrily and said, "Okay, very good, since you are so stubborn, then I have nothing to say, today,

Even if you have thousands of disagrees in your heart, you have to agree, and I have given this marriage."

Aixue was desperate for a while, and hurriedly said, "Why, we are fine, why did you come to break us up, what did we do wrong?" You're going to do that?"

Wu Zetian said coldly, "What did you do wrong? Do you know the Three Principles and Five Constants? You don't know what you're doing wrong? I will give you two choices today, one is to accept my marriage, from now on, you and the beauty will be the left and right wives, regardless of size, to assist Longji, and the other is that I will let Longji leave you, and then marry the beauty, you can choose for yourself."

Ai Xue was taken aback, and Wu Zetian asked, "How is it? Which one do you choose? I advise you to open up some."

Aixue was in pain for a while, and said sadly: "If the emperor must choose his granddaughter-in-law, then I would rather choose the third one."

Wu Zetian was puzzled: "Article 3? I have said that there are only two paths before you."

Ai Xue hurriedly said: "No, there is a third one, Ai Xue begs the emperor to give her granddaughter-in-law a death, so that you can do what you want."

Everyone was shocked, and Wu Zetian was surprised: "You want to die for you?"

Ai Xue nodded and said, "Yes, instead of watching Longji marry someone else's pain, it is better to stop it and not be sad again."

The beauty hurriedly said: "Love Snow ......"

Wu Zetian stopped and said, "Okay, very good, since you would rather die than listen to me, then I will fulfill you, come to someone."

On one side, a eunuch hurriedly bowed down and said, "The slave is here."

Wu Zetian said coldly: "The princess of the county disobeyed my order, gave her the death penalty, and brought Bai Aya."

The eunuch was startled and hesitated, "Your Majesty, ......

Wu Zetian said sharply, "Don't go quickly."

The eunuch was startled, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Obey." Hurriedly bowed and withdrew.

The beauty watched the eunuch go out, and said hurriedly, "Aixue, why are you like this, you have something to say, why do you want to die......

Aixue was in pain for a while, and said sadly: "I know, I know that you love Longji very much, it's my fault, I shouldn't snatch Longji away from you, it's all my fault."

The beauty hurriedly said, "Aixue, don't say that, it's me who is not good, I shouldn't still love Longi, I shouldn't."

Ai Xue hurriedly said: "No, beauty, you listen to me, you are not wrong, I don't blame you, Longji belongs to you originally, in fact, I have also tried to persuade myself to accept you, but, I have tried, I really ...... in my heart I really can't do it, I really can't watch Longji marry someone else, if it is, I think I'll be really crazy, I really can't do it......" said in pain.

The beauty was in pain for a while, and said urgently, "Love Snow ......"

Aixue said bitterly: "Beauty......" The two hugged each other and cried.

Wu Zetian looked unbearable for a while, and turned his face away.

At this time, the eunuch hurriedly walked over with a white silk in his hand, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the white silk has been brought."

The beauty was startled and said urgently, "Love snow...... Don't, Your Majesty."

Wu Zetian stopped and said, "Since she chose this path by herself, you don't need to intercede for her."

Aixue looked at the snow-white white silk, and said sadly, "Beauty, this path is my own choice, you don't have to intercede for me...... I can finally return LONGi to you, you promise me that you must take good care of LONGi, and you must not let him have any problems, you promise me."

The beauty was in pain for a while, and said sadly, "Love Snow ......"

Ai Xue begged, "Beauty, I beg you, promise me...... Promise me, I beg you."

The beauty was in pain for a while, and said bitterly, "Well, I promise you......

Aixue nodded and said, "Well, then I can leave in peace." As he spoke, he took the white silk and put it under a beam with a brocade stool.

The beauty hurriedly said, "Love snow, don't." As he spoke, he was about to run over, but he was pulled by Wu Zetian and the palace maids, and said hurriedly, "Love snow, don't love snow......

Aixue was sad for a while, slowly stood on the brocade bench, took the white silk and threw it, and the white silk crossed an arc and hung on the beam.

Ai Xue pulled and hit

It's a dead knot......

The beauty was shocked and said hurriedly, "Love snow...... Come down quickly, don't love the snow."

Aixue turned around and wept, "Say sorry to Sister Xiu with me, I can't repay her for raising her." As he spoke, he stretched his neck to the white silk and said silently, "Longji...... Farewell......" kicked his feet, the brocade stool was kicked to the ground, rolled out, and the white silk tightened, and hung on the white silk......
