As for what happened in the alley that night, everyone in Luoyang City who had a little status had heard about it.

Princess Taiping's identity is so noble, how could she not have heard of it?

Wu Zetian said with a smile: "Look at me, I forgot to introduce it, this is the first time you two have met." ”

Then Wu Zetian pointed to Dugu Lantai and said to Princess Taiping: "This is the son of the Qilin of the Dugu family's generation, the Dugu family and the 'Hongnong Yang family' where his mother is located are generations of in-laws, and his mother and my mother are half-sisters, so I and he are sisters and brothers, you should call him uncle." ”

Princess Taiping's mouth opened slightly, looking at Dugu Lantai, who was only about sixteen years old in front of her, her temperament was very arrogant, so that she called a young man so many years younger than herself, uncle, even if he was very handsome, she couldn't call it.

Therefore, I saw Princess Taiping pouting and saying, "I don't call! ”

Wu Zetian's face changed, and he said a little angrily: "Presumptuous! How can my Wu Meiniang's daughter not be big or small, this is a matter of seniority, whether it is our martial family or the Li family, are both big families, have you forgotten all the rules of the family? Also, we are a royal family, and I don't need to say more about the way of respect and inferiority!"

Princess Taiping knew that if she didn't call her today, it would be useless for the queen mother to spoil her, because this was the family rule of the big family, and there was no room for sloppiness.

No, she had to stand up reluctantly, her eyes were red, she bent down and bowed to Dugu Lantai, gritting her teeth: "Taiping has seen uncle!"

Then he turned his head and "hummed", as if he was very aggrieved.

Wu Zetian also shook his head helplessly, and said to Dugu Lantai: "This girl has been spoiled by me, and her stubborn temper is even more horizontal than I was back then." ”

Dugu Lantai said: "Sister doesn't have to be so embarrassed about the princess, I am much younger than her, and I can be commensurate with her." ”

Wu Zetian said: "That's not good, rules are rules, how can juniors not be polite when they see their elders?" Also, I am an equal generation with you, if you are commensurate with the Taiping juniors, wouldn't the relationship between us be chaotic, so don't care about age, you are an elder in front of them." By the way, since she is an elder, how can you call her 'princess' just now? In front of others, she may be Her Royal Highness the princess, but in front of her own parents, she is peaceful!"

Wu Zetian's words were undoubted, and Dugu Lantai had no choice but to agree.

Wu Zetian turned his head to look at Princess Taiping, who was still angry, and said softly: "Okay, okay, sit down and eat, it's just a title, and you will slowly get used to it when you get used to it in the future." ”

Princess Taiping immediately walked down the steps, and then she was not angry, smiled, and sat down to eat again.

talked and laughed with Wu Zetian, as if nothing had happened just now.

Dugu Lantai shook his head after seeing it, and said in his heart: "No wonder they say that women are the most fickle, it seems that it is true." ”

The three of them had a good time.

The main thing is the bowl of white fungus lotus seed porridge, which is called a fragrant, and Dugu Lantai drank three small bowls in a row.

Princess Taiping, who looked at the other side, covered her mouth and smiled.

Dugu Lantai said a little embarrassed: "Hehe, this white fungus lotus seed porridge does taste good, and I drank two more bowls before I knew it. ”

Wu Zetian kept talking, and said: "Well, this porridge is very delicious, which shows that the new imperial chef is very attentive and has good cooking skills. ”

After hearing this, Dugu Lantai quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, Lantai is already full, so sister, don't bother the imperial dining room." ”

Then, the two palace maids came up and took away all the things on the table, and served each of them a cup of tea.

Princess Taiping had been looking at Dugu Lantai curiously, and at this time, she couldn't help but ask, "What happened in the alley in the north of the city a few days ago was done by my uncle, right?"

Dugu Lantai was stunned, he didn't expect Princess Taiping to ask about it. But he didn't hesitate for too long, and said, "Exactly, I didn't expect Taiping to hear about it too." ”

Princess Taiping secretly said "sure enough", and then said excitedly: "Uncle is really a blockbuster, don't say it's me now, the entire Luoyang City has been spread, saying how powerful Uncle is, your name is now in the upper echelons, everyone knows, no one knows!"

After hearing this, Wu Zetian suddenly became interested, and looked at the two of them: "Oh! What is the matter? It is related to Lantai, so I don't want to come quickly." ”

Dugu Lantai told Wu Zetian everything that happened in the alley that day.

In addition, Princess Taiping next to her added oil and vinegar to say it.

Wu Zetian couldn't help but applaud when he heard the highlights.

After listening to the narration of the two of them, Wu Zetian frowned, patted the table, and said: "I can't imagine that in this Luoyang City, under my nose, there is such a heinous gentleman! Instruct the ruffians and hooligans to forcibly collect protection money, and also bully people and rob people's daughters! It is indeed damned, Lantai is good at killing! However, your punishment of General Dingyuan seems to be too light, if it were me, his whole family would definitely be beheaded!"

Dugu Lantai was suppressed by Wu Zetian's domineering, and Wu Zetian has been in the top position for a long time, and that unique temperament and momentum make her even taller and more majestic.

Princess Taiping seems to have long been accustomed to her mother's domineering, and her expression is very calm.

Wu Zetian frowned and said, "Why does this matter still involve Yu Kuan and Sansi?"

One is the pastor of Jingzhao Mansion, a second-class member of the imperial court, and the other is her nephew, and he holds important positions, the two of them have a very high status in the imperial court, how can they not be valued by Wu Zetian.

Dugu Lantai did not mention Yu Kuan and Wu Sansi before, but Princess Taiping said a lot.

Seeing Wu Zetian asking, Dugu Lantai had no choice but to say perfunctorily: "Oh, this matter has nothing to do with Yu Kuan and Wu Sansi.

Lord Yu Kuan is the biggest official in the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, and Jingzhao Mansion is in charge of all major and important cases in the capital, so when he heard the news, Lord Yu came over.

As for Lord Wu Sansi, he was purely passing by there, and when he heard that there was a murder in the alley, he came over curiously to take a look. ”

Since Dugu Lantai promised the two, he would not push them out again. Otherwise, according to Wu Zetian's temperament, even if Yu Wu and the others are fine, they must find out something alive.

Wu Zetian didn't doubt it anymore after hearing this, but said: "I still know these two people well, Yu Kuan has some talent in handling cases, and he has a good reputation in the officialdom, as for thinking twice, he is simple-minded, and he is very cautious and careful in everything, with me here, I don't dare to do something unwise." ”

Dugu Lantai nodded yes, but he knew very well in his heart that Wu Sansi was not a good bird.

Wu Zetian changed the topic and said: "But the eldest sister Wu you said must be different, otherwise you wouldn't be like this." ”

Dugu Lantai said: "Well, Sister Wu is not only beautiful, but also has good eyes, and the most important thing is that she makes a good wonton, which is simply delicious in the world, after you have eaten her family, you will never want to go to other people's wonton shops." Lantai has been eating wontons there since she was a child, and she has become familiar with her back and forth, and recognizes her as her righteous sister, so why isn't Lantai angry when her sister is bullied?"

Wu Zetian nodded and said: "Well, this is reasonable, as soon as you say this, I am suddenly a little interested in this Sister Wu, I will go to meet her if I have time in the future, and her wontons are praised by you There are no things in the sky and on the earth, I will send someone to buy some back tonight, I must taste it." ”

And Princess Taiping next to her was already hungry.
