Shangguan Wan'er smiled sweetly, her bright eyes rolled, "Thank you Your Highness, from the first time I saw Your Highness, I knew that I was different from them."

"They?" I wondered who this was referring to.

"A small court order is more powerful than His Highness." She was completely free from the restraint of the past, and she was joking with me like an old friend for many years.

I curled my lips, I was originally a grassroots person, but I got into a car accident and became a prince.Where did that official accent come from?

The atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and just as my hanging heart fell, I heard "The Queen of Heaven is here" pierced the tranquility of the night.

I looked at Wan'er, and saw that she frowned slightly, with a complicated expression on her face.

"Go back to the study first." I said hastily.

She shook her head and stepped forward to open the door of the bedroom.

"My maidservant sees Empress Tianhou." She opened the door, and Empress Wu just walked to the door.

The woman in front wore her hair in a simple bun, without any accessories on her head, and she presumably just woke up.I swallowed, and clenched my fists tightly, my palms were already slightly sweaty.The maids holding the lamps in front retreated to the back, "Linyue, can you really see it?" Her tone was full of joy.

"Aniang, I saw it." I still didn't know how to salute, so I simply bowed my waist and bent like a bow.

I raised my head to look at Empress Wu, and my hands trembled uncontrollably. Seeing the real Wu Zetian alive with my own eyes was such an exciting and frightening thing.

With a wide forehead and thick eyebrows, she is not angry and majestic. The flowers and birds embroidered with gold thread on a flower cage skirt are lifelike. The skirt that drags the floor is half a meter long.

She treated me very gently, she put her long and slender hands on my arms casually, walked to the front of the couch and sat down, and led me to sit beside her, smiling like water, "My mother's heart finally fell. "

"Let Aniang forget about it." I forced out a smile.

Her hand caressed my hair, the tenderness and love in her eyes made me indulge for a moment, and the wide sleeves draped over my body along her arms, the fragrance was overwhelming. "Linyue, Auntie is ashamed of you." Her voice was so low that I could only hear it.

"It's nothing." This has nothing to do with me now, I'm just a passerby.Struggling out of her loving kindness, I suddenly thought of Wan'er, and my heart rose again. From time to time, my eyes glanced at the direction where Wan'er was standing. Finally, there was a gap, and I gave her a wink, telling her to go out quietly. He had a ghost in his heart, so he was naturally afraid that Empress Wu would notice her.

Not wanting to look at me winking, she smiled instead, winked at me mischievously, stood there with her head upright, looking straight at me and Empress Wu, full of fearlessness.

Empress Wu squinted at me, like catching a child doing something bad, raised her eyebrows kindly to show her sensitivity, and followed my gaze towards the door.

Chapter 8 Chapter 7

"Why don't you hurry up and serve tea to the Empress Dowager?" I put on airs and said to Shangguan Wan'er.My sister can only help you here.

"Are you thirsty in Linyue?" Empress Wu asked me back.

"A little bit." I nodded seriously, turned to look at Shangguan Wan'er, still standing there motionless.

"Go and pour a cup of tea for Your Highness." Empress Wu looked at me with a smile, and the maid behind her was going immediately.

"No need, no need, just let Wan'er go." I hurriedly reached out to stop the maid, and by the way gave Shangguan Wan'er a hard look, which made me so angry.

"Wan'er?" After many years of contact, I gradually discovered that Empress Wu just habitually picks out something from your words to ask you back, and often people who can't help cheating with a guilty conscience can't help explaining.

When I was about to say that she was my court lady, Shangguan Wan'er bowed her head and said, "Slave servant, Shangguan Wan'er." The word Shangguan came out of her mouth repeatedly.

Empress Wu carefully looked at Shangguan Wan'er, and said after a while, "How long have you been with His Highness?"

"After His Highness returned to the palace, servants were selected from Ye Ting to read books for His Highness." Shangguan Wan'er reminded her little by little.

"Yeting? How old are you this year?" Empress Wu's tone became serious.

"Reporting to Empress Tian, ​​this servant girl is 14 years old." Shangguan Wan'er's thin body faced the lofty Empress Tian, ​​a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

"The same year as Linyue." Empress Wu smiled slightly, with deep eyes, as if recalling. "You come forward."

The corner of Shangguan Wan'er's mouth curled up into a smile, she came to me, lowered her head and smiled at me.

"Raise your head." Empress Wu stared at it, and sighed softly, "The old tree that was cut down, and the branches growing from the roots, can still faintly see the character of the old tree."

I secretly felt bad, this silly girl let Empress Wu know who she was, and couldn't keep Empress Wu from a whim, thinking about cutting grass and roots. "Aniang also thinks that Wan'er has an outstanding temperament?" I interjected with an apologetic smile.

"Yes, Auntie is thinking about accepting a side concubine for Linyue." Empress Wu looked at me, admiring my stiff expression playfully.

"Fifth brother has reached the age of marriage." The moment I saw Princess Taiping, my original blunt expression was taken over by surprise. It's such a familiar face. It's exactly like the junior high school version of me. "Fifth Brother's eyes are healed?"

"Mirror, give me the mirror." I didn't care much, and said to the absent-minded Shangguan Wan'er.

The dim bronze mirror reflected my face like an old photo. If it weren’t for His Royal Highness Jin Wang who has been listening for so many days, I almost thought I was dressed as Lin Daiyu, who looked so weak that I was ashamed of my 24 years This is exactly me in junior high school, just a different version.

"What's wrong with fifth brother?" Seeing my strange behavior, Taiping pouted.

"It's okay, I haven't seen myself for a long time, recognize my face." I smiled, and the people in the mirror also laughed, Li Linyue, you have lived for ten years in vain.

"Are you going to give Wan'er to Fifth Brother?" Princess Taiping looked at Empress Wu seriously, and I understood what she was planning. There is no reason to go back to the monastery after getting married.

"Wan'er willing?" I thought Empress Wu was just talking, but I never thought that she would really ask for Wan'er.

I actually saw hesitation in Shangguan Wan'er's eyes, "Wan'er is of low status and is not worthy of His Highness." She lowered her head after speaking to the majestic Empress Wu.

The look on Empress Wu's face was a lot more relaxed. It's still my job to observe words and demeanor. I made a false alarm. Empress Wu's intention was just to give me a marriage. From Shangguan Wan'er's expression, I can tell whether she knows that I am a daughter.What about Wan'er? What does her performance mean? Is she really interested in me?

Taiping was in a hurry, "Why don't you deserve it? You have served Fifth Brother for a long time, and you only owe a title."

"The maidservant is the granddaughter of the guilty minister Shangguanyi, and she is also wearing a sinful body, so she dare not cling to His Highness." She clearly said that she came from a humble background, but she could clearly hear the pride and pride in her tone.I suddenly became curious, who is this Shangguanyi? When I met my eyes, I saw her face was flushed.

This did not escape Empress Wu's eyes at all, so I quickly looked back.Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, even if they are all foxes, she has a thousand years of Taoism, and I am still at the stage of stealing chickens.

"Then Wan'er is willing to stay with Ben Gong?" Empress Wu glanced at me, then asked Shangguan Wan'er.

The faces of Shangguan Wan'er and I were both full of shock. Taiping obviously hadn't calmed down yet, and stopped on what Wan'er said was Shangguanyi's granddaughter.

Before Wan'er answered, she also took a look at me, and then said determinedly, "I am willing."

This was something I didn't expect, "I don't want Wan'er to go." I whispered, without any confidence.Let her go, maybe send her to die, she is my first friend here.

"Wan'er also wants to spend some time with His Highness." Shangguan Wan'er's tone softened suddenly.

"Then let's talk about it in a while, your grandfather is very talented, and I want to test your talents." Empress Wu glanced at me and Shangguan Wan'er, and continued; "It's not too early, I will go back first, Taiping , don't bother your fifth brother for too long."
