This author has traveled through time and space in a book!

It would be good if we could live in peace.

But Wu Zhao was old, and the eldest princess she gave birth to when she was sixteen was now an old lady in her fifties.

As I get older, I become suspicious and think that everyone around me has ulterior motives.

Although the eldest daughter, who is thousands of miles away, is out of control, the family relationship becomes even more precious.

So that year, Wu Zetian issued three imperial edicts in a row, hoping to get Zhou Ran back to the capital. After the envoys returned empty-handed three times, Wu Zetian automatically assumed that her daughter was staying on the frontier to avoid her suspicion and the so-called orthodox ideas of the court officials.

If her daughter didn't come back, she would go on a secret visit. As an empress, Wu Zhao was so willful.

When the mother and daughter met, Zhou Ran had just returned from casting a spell in the farmland in the suburbs. The desert was so dry that her lovemaking technique was almost perfect.

In Wu Zhao's view, her daughter, sweating profusely, rushed back from the suburbs on a white horse just to see her, and immediately she blurted out an emotional "Ran'er"...

Well, Zhou Ran has never been called such a cheesy name in his life.

Wu Zhao came in person, and Zhou Ran couldn't refuse to see her. After all, she was the biological mother of the original body, so he just treated her with good wine and delicious food.

It's this title... Calling her Emperor Wu? Queen Mother? It seems a bit inappropriate.

"Mother!" Zhou Ran suddenly remembered that in his previous life, he had only spent a few hours with Wu Zhao, and she always called her this.

After all, she was a demon concubine, and it seemed strange to call her the queen or mother every few days, so the original body called her mother when he was a child.

"Hey hey hey! My Ran'er!" Wu Zhao didn't even call herself "Zhen". This was her first child with the late emperor, and the meaning was different after all.

A smart person like Wu Zhao would not easily change her mind once she made up her mind about something.

For example, she believed that her daughter was on her side, guarding the border so that she could govern better, and not returning to the capital for many years in order to prevent political turmoil. After all, her daughter had legal inheritance rights, and once she returned to the capital, it would inevitably cause unrest among those with ulterior motives.

Wu Zhao, who was in her fifties, had already grown white hair even though she took good care of herself.

Wu Zhao lived in Ningfu City for half a month, and would go to the vegetable garden in the backyard of the princess's mansion with Zhou Ran. Although she could not wield a hoe much, she did her job well.

He would help Zhou Ran take care of her white horse, which was the third generation of white horse since Zhou Ran arrived, and feed the horse carrots.

Wu Zetian tried to test Zhou Ran by pretending to be old and wanting to abdicate. Zhou Ran, however, said that Wu Zetian would live to be a hundred years old, while he himself had overworked in his youth and his life span had been shortened.

After Wu Zetian saw the many sword and knife scars on Zhou Ran's body, she never tried to test him again. However, she shed a lot of tears. After returning to Beijing, she ordered people to send him supplements and rewards many times.

"Is this why you have these scars?" The little voice wondered if its master had been planning this for so long.

"No, don't you think these scars are cool? This is the badge of a female general!" She herself has no scars from fighting in battles because she is afraid of death and pain.

When fighting, you must overcome fear. Between your own death and the enemy's death, you must choose the latter!

During the reign of Wu Zetian, Ningfu City had always been a special existence. When Wu Zetian abdicated and returned the imperial power to the Zhou family, and the successor was also Zhou Ran's nephew, Ningfu City was still special.

Zhou Ran had already escaped early. In this era, spiritual energy was abundant. When she had cultivated to the great perfection of the foundation-building stage, which was just after Wu Zhao's 70th birthday, she left a letter and fled.

She did not fake her death, but based on the injuries Wu Zetian had seen before, she knew that her daughter probably did not want others to see her dead, and that she ran away because she felt her life was coming to an end.

The Princess Temple of the Great Zhou Dynasty was still built, and Ningfu City stood for hundreds of years. Even after the Great Zhou Dynasty fell, Ningfu City was still intact.

……

"Yi Yi, can you lend me your painting supplies?" Zhou Ran woke up again for just a moment, and including being in a daze, it was no more than a minute.

She failed to pass the tribulation. Well, it was the Yuanying tribulation after she had cultivated to the great perfection in the Jindan stage. She was struck by the tribulation thunder and nothing was left.

There is great terror between life and death, and she wants to paint a few pictures.

"Okay!" Lu Yi thoughtfully spread out the drawing paper before handing it to Zhou Ran.

Then she became a little assistant. Zhou Ran could draw. Lu Yi knew that when they were chatting a few days ago, but this was the first time she saw Zhou Ran drawing.

Zhou Ran's paintings only depict deserts, sandstorms, and a white horse... There are no characters, but there is a sense of desolation.

The second painting is of a beautiful middle-aged woman, who is extremely imposing, not just because of the yellow robe she wears, but also because of her aura.

"Wow, sister, you are so awesome!" What is a top student? This is a top student!

Lu Yi felt that just knowing Zhou Ran was enough for her to brag about for the rest of her life.

"It's okay. I haven't held a paintbrush for so long that I'm a bit rusty." She originally wanted to paint the eldest princess riding a white horse, but for some reason, what appeared in her mind was the image of her swaying on the horse when she first traveled through time.

Hmm... no aura at all.

Wu Zhao, on the other hand, is very well drawn, about 50% similar! This is what Wu Zhao looked like when she was in her fifties visiting Ningfu City.

Zhou Ran's time travel this time has almost nothing to do with the main storyline, but several things related to the eldest princess did happen, such as the eldest princess's shrine.

Regardless of what kind of person Wu Zhao was in the novel, the Wu Zhao that Zhou Ran personally experienced was an outstanding emperor, and she was not the kind of person who would sacrifice her children's lives for power.

Zhou Hong was weak and sickly since birth. Wu Zhao had tried her best to prolong his life, but in the end she could only protect his child.

In the end, she returned power to Zhou.

Given the level of centralization Wu Zhao held at the time, it would have been easy for her to change the dynasty and replace the Zhou Dynasty with the Wu Dynasty.

Maybe Wu Zhao still attached great importance to family affection in her heart. Some of the things she did in the Zhou Dynasty were actually unfilial to the emperor and father, but it was Wu Zhao who made it up for her, and she became a model of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

She was struck by lightning so hard that she didn't want to practice anymore today. She packed up her drawings and took Lu Yi home for dinner.

Lu Jianguo was very relieved about Lu Yi's stay in the Zhou family.

He even wanted to pay for living expenses a few days ago, but was pushed back by Old Zhou. After that, Lu Jianguo moved two boxes of wine to Zhou's house, which Old Zhou did not refuse.

In fact, with Lu Jianguo's ability, he could arrange a job for Lu Yi as long as she graduated from university, except for those positions that required an exam.

So, after thinking it through, Lu Jianguo no longer forced it.

Zhou Ran ended his summer vacation early and returned to Beijing. He asked Lu Yi if she wanted to go to Beijing for fun, and she immediately agreed.

I couldn't wait to call Lu Jianguo, not to ask for instructions, but to inform him to pay more money.

Well, because she was following Zhou Ran, Lu Jianguo did not refuse. He transferred 20,000 yuan to Lu Yika on the same day, asking her not to take advantage of Zhou Ran all the time and to spend it wisely!
