Chapter 172: Recognize Godmother

"You...... What did you just say? Didn't the mourning family hear it wrong?" Just as all the civil and military officials in the hall were stunned when they stayed there and looked at the princess who bowed her head, Wu Zetian, who was sitting in the first place, also opened his mouth slightly, and asked her this dumbfounded.

Obviously, she can ask such a question, which is enough to prove that at this moment, she is also very surprised and speechless! Princess Qianjin would beg herself to be her godmother so much, how can you make Wu Zetian not surprised, she really suspected that her ears had heard it wrong.

As the emperor, Li Dan also sat there and asked, "Grandmother, did you just say that you want to recognize my queen mother as a godmother? Aren't you drunk?"

"Hmm, Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" As soon as Li Dan's words fell, Wu Zetian, who was sitting next to him, suddenly turned his head and glared at him again, and said this.

"Mother, I'm just a little surprised. Wu Zetian was so frightened, Li Dan naturally didn't dare to say more, so he had to reply to her with a dull head, and then lowered his head knowingly.

Wu Zetian is now very powerful, he is just a puppet emperor raised by Wu Zetian, how can he dare to offend Wu Zetian? Knowing that Wu Zetian may be very proud now, Li Dan naturally does not dare to stand on the side of his aunt and grandmother and go against Wu Zetian.

Princess Qianjin stood in the hall, just lowered her head in humiliation, gritted her teeth, and replied sonorously again: "Queen Mother, you heard it right, this is what Yan Ran begged for, I hope the Queen Mother can be gracious, if Yan Ran recognizes the Queen Mother as a godmother in the future, then Yan Ran is the goddaughter of the Queen Mother, Yan Ran can be filial to the Queen Mother, think about the Queen Mother is now for the country and the people, every day is full of opportunities, Yan Ran also only wants to be filial piety for the Queen Mother." ”

"Do you want to be filial to the mourning family?" haha......" Wu Zetian repeated the words of the princess, and in the end, she even raised her head and laughed, and she was overjoyed on the spot.

The dignified biological youngest daughter of Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was able to beg herself to be her godmother so lowly, Wu Zetian is really happy in her heart now, there is no one in Li Tang's backroom who does not reject her, but now, Li Yanran, the dearest daughter of Li Tang's backroom, actually begged her like this, how can this not make Wu Zetian excited?

In the hall like this, Wu Zetian's proud laughter echoed, and the civil and military officials sitting in the hall frowned when they heard it, and they hated Wu Zetian's laughter very much in their hearts, at this moment, they even began to feel sorry for the princess, if it weren't for Wu Zetian's constant hard work, the princess would not beg her so lowly, this is the lowly princess of the daughter, and it is also Wu Zetian's viciousness.

But everyone hates in their hearts, and who dares to say more? Everyone hides this hatred in their hearts, and everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak.

After Wu Zetian raised her head and was happy for a while, she immediately stopped smiling, looked down at the princess Qianjin standing in the hall, and said to the princess: "Okay, even if you are so sincere to beg the mourning family, the mourning family can't help but give you this face, you kneel down for the mourning family now, kowtow to the mourning family three times, and then call the mourning family a godmother, you will be the goddaughter of the mourning family in the future, and when you finish the big gift, the mourning family will give you the title again." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother. The princess gritted her teeth, almost crying.

"Then let's start!" Wu Zetian pressed forward step by step.

Princess Qianjin stood there, her legs were like two chopsticks at this time, and countless voices in her heart kept yelling at her, she couldn't kneel, she couldn't kneel her, you were her aunt, you were the daughter of Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, you couldn't kneel down to this woman named Wu Zetian in front of you, she wasn't even Li Tang's ancestor, she was just a woman with a foreign surname, just a slut.

But although the princess of Qianjin shouted countless times that she couldn't kneel Wu Zetian in her heart, but in the end her legs were still weak, thinking of Li Yao standing behind her, Princess Qianjin couldn't help it, at a certain moment, under the gaze of hundreds of civil and military officials in the palace, Princess Qianjin didn't think about it, and knelt down as soon as her knees were weak.

At this moment, before she could kowtow to Wu Zetian, behind the fifth row of seats on the right side of the hall, a middle-aged man in a yellow robe and about forty years old slammed his face on the table in front of him, and he stood up angrily, glaring at the princess who was kneeling in the hall and shouted: "Don't kneel, what kind of body is it?"

"King Langya, what do you mean?" Wu Zetian was still very proud, but when the man stood up and yelled like this, her face immediately turned cold, and she turned her gaze to the middle-aged man, and asked viciously.

Li Yao, who was standing behind Princess Qianjin, hurriedly turned his head to look over.

Li Yao knew that Li Chong was the son of Li Zhen, the eighth son of Li Shimin, that is, three years later, in 688 AD, the only man who dared to openly stand up against Wu Zetian's power, Xue Shao's brother Xue Yi, who rebelled with him three years later, and was finally extinguished by Wu Zetian and died, so Li Yao still had a very good impression of the Langya King in front of him.

At least under the oppression of Wu Zetian's power, everyone went away and didn't dare to stand up, only he, for the sake of Li Tang's country, he did not hesitate to rebel and overthrow Wu Zetian, in a sense, he can be regarded as a great man, Li Yao can't help but admire him.

Li Chong ignored Li Yao's eyes when he looked at him, and after scolding the princess of Qianjin, he immediately stood up, walked to the side of the princess of Qianjin in the palace, stretched out his hand and dragged one of Princess Qianjin's arms, and shouted to her: "Auntie, although I, Li Chong, usually don't have much contact with you, but you are the daughter of the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, my aunt, and the aunt of the Queen Mother, how can you say that you kneel?"

"King Langya, don't worry about me, go back and sit down!" Princess Qianjin almost begged Li Chong in a pleading tone.

She was afraid that Li Chong would collide with him here and annoy Wu Zetian who was sitting at the head of the hall, she was determined to recognize Wu Zetian as her godmother for Li Yao this time, so as to protect herself, so that she could meet Li Yao in the future and live a comfortable life.

But Li Chong seemed to be taken aback, and in the face of the kind words and persuasion of the princess, Li Chong ignored it, but raised his head to look at Wu Zetian who was seated at the head of the hall, glared at her and asked: "Queen Mother, my Li Chong's father is Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Gaozong is still my younger brother, so let me ask you, this king is qualified to ask you now, what virtue do you have, how can you dare to accept your aunt to recognize you as a godmother?"

"Li Chong, you are so bold, you dare to speak to me like this?" Wu Zetian was furious.

Li Chong was so angry with Wu Zetian, but he was not disdainful at all, he thought that he was the eighth son of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, Gaozong Li Zhi was still the ninth son of Emperor Taizong, and he was still Li Zhi's own brother, so where would he not be qualified to teach Wu Zetian, a woman of Li Zhi?

Don't say that she is the queen mother, even if she is a fairy in the sky, Li Chong feels that he is now a scholar and it is impossible to bear it, he has to stand up and speak, Wu Zetian's approach is not right, the princess is weak, she has been secretly trying to get rid of her, and even in the end, when the princess was aggrieved and wanted to recognize her as her godmother, she was still sitting there so difficult, and she had to kowtow three times, or in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, how could you let Li Chong endure it?

Just now, Li Chong thought in his heart, if Wu Zetian could treat the princess of Qianjin a little politely, say a few nice words, respond on the spot, and give him a title, then he didn't plan to stand up and say this, but the problem is that Wu Zetian is too much, he really can't help it.

Looking up at Wu Zetian with disdain, Li Chong shouted: "You either get up today, come down to greet you in person, help your aunt up, and treat her well, or this king will stand in the palace today, and when you can figure out the reason why this king said this, it will not be too late for this king to go down." ”

"Li Chong, you ......" Wu Zetian was speechless on the spot by Li Chong's words.

On her pretty face, there was already a blood red of anger, and the qi in her heart was like a surging wave, hitting Wu Zetian's heart wave after wave, making her in a state close to going berserk, and no one dared to say such a thing to her Wu Meiniang for a long time.

As early as when he was young, this Li Chong has always looked down on himself, thinking that he is relying on his face and body to confuse Li Zhi, and then he has come to this point, he has been working against himself, Wu Zetian has long hated him, but she dare not fight against Li Chong.

Li Chong's current power is not small, he is also the eighth son of Emperor Taizong of the Li Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, and he can be said to be a hundred echoes in the court, where does Wu Zetian dare to openly confront him? At least now she does not have the strength, to compete with Li Chong, to deal with a weak woman like the princess Qianjin, she is okay, but against Li Chong such a powerful King Langya, Wu Zetian will be a lot embarrassed.

Lou Shide, who was sitting on the side, saw that the atmosphere in the hall was stiff, so he quickly stood up and played a round, and said to Wu Zetian with a fist: "Queen Mother, what King Langya said is also reasonable, and the old man also thinks that you should personally come down to help Her Royal Highness the princess up, and treat her politely, and then give her the title, not like now." ”

"Old Lou, do you say the same thing?" Wu Zetian said in a gloomy tone, and asked Lou Shide viciously.

"Queen Mother, if you believe the old man, then please get up!" Lou Shide raised his head and stared at Wu Zetian, and quietly replied to her.
