Confidante Saisuke

Datang Yifeng two years.Chang'an Daming Palace.

"The Empress Dowager, Shangguan Wan'er came out on top in the Ye Ting Bureau exam." Dr. Gong Jiao of the Ye Ting Bureau knelt down on the floor of the main hall and played.The rank of the Doctor of Gongjiao in Ye Ting Bureau is Cong Ninth Rank, and he rarely has the opportunity to witness the holy face of the Queen of Heaven.Now that she directly reported to the rumored Queen of Heaven, who frequently took people's lives, she felt very nervous, for fear that something might go wrong.

Wu Meiniang, who was kneeling in front of the imperial case reviewing the memorial, raised her head thoughtfully, looked at Dr. Ye Ting who was kneeling in front of her, and repeated the name: "Shangguan Waner, Shangguan Waner. Shangguan?" The last name of Shangguan , she is not unfamiliar at all.

14 years ago, Shangguanyi drafted an edict to abolish the Empress, which almost pulled her down from the position of queen.Although relying on his skillful management of the intelligence network in the harem, coupled with his grasp of the emperor's gentle and hesitant character, he finally settled the matter.However, no one expected the shadow left on her by the turmoil after the abolishment.It was from this incident that she discovered that even though she was as honorable as a queen, she was still insecure, and she was still constrained by others everywhere.She cannot use the queen's position as a place to settle down.She has to move on.She can't stop.

Wu Meiniang picked up the ink brush and dipped it in the ink, and asked leisurely, "Then who is Shangguan Wan'er? Why did she enter the palace?"

The doctor of Gongjiao suddenly felt that Mount Tai was pressing on his shoulders, and answered bravely: "Shangguanyi conspired with King Liang and Wang Fusheng to rebel. According to the law, the males of the Shangguan family will be punished, and the female relatives will be assigned to the court. Shangguan Wan'er is the son of Shangguanyi." The daughter of Shangguan Tingzhi, followed her mother Zheng Shisanniang into the palace."

really.Wu Meiniang smiled slightly, and asked again: "Is Shangguan Wan'er here?"

Dr. Gong Jiao's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he replied in fear: "Shangguan Wan'er is waiting outside the hall."

Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "You go down. Ask Shangguan Wan'er to come in."

Dr. Gong Jiao saluted hurriedly, got up and retreated.

Wu Meiniang got up and left the case, walked to the window, and stood with her hands behind her back.

But after a while, a girl in rough clothes came in, saw Wu Meiniang, knelt down, and said in a flat voice, "Slave servant Shangguan Wan'er, kowtow to the Queen of Heaven. The Queen of Heaven is Shengan."

Wu Meiniang saw that Shangguan Wan'er's voice was not disturbed at all, and thought to herself, maybe it's because of Shangguan Yi's arrogant and unyielding blood flowing in her body, or because she owed her mother Zheng's teaching from a wealthy family.

While thinking like this, she paced into Shangguan Wan'er.Coarse clothes, no makeup, small body, pale and thin.Especially a pair of eyes, no grass grows, no one lives.Not eating the fireworks of the world, it is extraordinary and refined to others, but it is lifeless to this child.But at the age of 14, he seemed to be depressed.However, it seems that Ye Ting cannot be blamed for this.There are also other children who grew up in Yeting, who have all kinds of emotions and desires.

Thousands of clouds and smoke flashed through her mind, Wu Meiniang's expression remained unchanged, and she asked slowly, "Are you Shangguanyi's granddaughter?"

Shangguan Wan'er cast another glance at Wu Meiniang, still expressionless: "Yes."

Wu Meiniang said again: "Then do you know how your grandfather and your father died?"

Shangguan Wan'er still had a calm tone: "It's all because of the loss of love to the Queen of Heaven."

Wu Meiniang suddenly felt that she couldn't figure out Shangguan Wan'er, so she asked straightforwardly: "Since you know that the Shangguan family was all convicted because of me, and because of me, you have been reduced from a Miss Xiangfu to a slave in the court, you must hate me to the bone?"

Shangguan Wan'er tilted her head slightly, as if she was thinking, and replied after a while: "This servant has been in Yeting since I can remember, and I have never seen my grandfather and father, so I can't say I have any hatred."

Wu Meiniang pursed her lips, approached Shangguan Wan'er, and held her chin up.There was no wave in Shangguan Wan'er's eyes.However, Wu Meiniang didn't believe it.A 14-year-old girl, accompanied by her mother, would never be so calm.She wanted to see what Shangguan Wan'er looked like.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the silk flowers presented by Shang Gong in the palace, and came up with an idea.Going to the corner, picked up a flower, came to Shangguan Wan'er, and said, "Shangguan Wan'er, Dr. Gongjiao said that your poems are good. Now you can write a poem about silk flowers."

Shangguan Wan'er loves poetry the most. Looking at the silk flowers in Wu Meiniang's hand, she thought about it and said: "The dense leaves are cut and spit out, and the new flowers are picked up one after another. Although it is not wrong to climb the strips, picking the pistils is not enough. .The origin of the spring solstice came out, and the autumn has not yet been willing to scatter. Let me ask the peach generals and plums, what is the desire for chaos."

When Wu Meiniang heard this, she couldn't help laughing.This poem is fresh and meaningful, and it is definitely not written by someone with a heart like an ancient well.There must be something else in this child's mind.After thinking about it, he ordered again: "Go to the case to get a pen, pick anyone's memorial at random, and write the poem you just wrote on the back of it."

Put pen to paper and finish it in a moment.Shangguan Wan'er presented the poem.Wu Meiniang took the memorial and looked at it carefully.The brushwork is steep and strong, with strong bone strength.The so-called writing is like a person, this is not the writing of a person who has nothing to look at, but it is not the writing of a person who recites such tactful and soft poems.After all, what is her true nature?

Looking at the frail Shangguan Wan'er in front of her, after pondering for a while, Wu Meiniang said, "Shangguan Wan'er, go back to Ye Ting to clean up and come here tomorrow to find Ah Liu. She will arrange for you."

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't understand what Wu Meiniang meant and looked at her in confusion.

Finally seeing a ignorant expression in Shangguan Wan'er's eyes, Wu Meiniang couldn't help laughing, and said, "You will live in the side hall next to me from now on."

Shangguan Wan'er was surprised, and asked: "Is this servant coming to serve the Empress?"

Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "I don't need you to serve me. You'd better go to the Inner Literature Museum to read your book."

Shangguan Wan'er was just suspicious, thought for a while, and said: "My servant thanked the Queen of Heaven. However, I still have one thing to ask for the Queen's mercy."

Wu Meiniang suspected that the cold-hearted girl she saw at the beginning was an illusion, and asked with interest: "Oh, what's the matter?"

Shangguan Wan'er said solemnly: "This slave girl grew up in Yeting, she has a bad temper and doesn't understand palace etiquette. If she breaks the palace rules in the future, please punish Wan'er alone, not mother."

Wu Meiniang nodded: "This is your filial piety, I will naturally fulfill you, it's up to you."

When Wu Meiniang heard her talk at first, she thought she wanted to forgive her, but she pleaded for her mother.It stands to reason that she is a filial daughter who protects her mother like this, but she looks indifferent when she mentions her mother.The secret and inexplicable part made Wu Meiniang feel more mysterious, and she wanted to find out, to see what was hidden under her ruthless face.

Shangguan Wan'er thanked her and withdrew.Wu Meiniang turned around and walked towards Yu'an.It took her too long to summon Shangguan Wan'er today.No way, I have to spend more time reviewing memorials at night.

On this side, Shangguan Wan'er followed Dr. Gongjiao back to Yeting.

The palace people in Ye Ting all knew that Shangguan Wan'er was summoned by the Queen of Heaven today.Seeing Shangguan Wan'er now, everyone stood in the distance and whispered.Shangguan Wan'er sneered in her heart, and walked past them indifferently.

After parting from the doctor, Shangguan Wan'er returned to her hut and began to organize her clothes.In fact, there is nothing to tidy up, but it is just a change of clothes for the two bodies.A thin burden is already her entire net worth.

Do I count as a breeze with two sleeves and a bright moon on one shoulder?Shangguan Wan'er thought to herself mockingly.

Cheng is back.A haggard woman.The Zheng family was born in a famous heirloom family of poetry and etiquette, and should have enjoyed wealth and honor for life.The struggle between the emperor and empress turned her life upside down.The ladies of every family became the slaves of the court.The pain and humiliation involved are only understood by herself.In Ye Ting, which tramples on the dignity of others and squeezes joy out of their pain, Zheng is aging rapidly.

Seeing a package next to Shangguan Wan'er, Mrs. Zheng asked, "Did the Empress assign you to go somewhere else?"

Shangguan Wan'er nodded: "The Queen of Heaven asked me to live in her side hall."

Mrs. Zheng was stunned for a while, and said with a sneer: "It seems that your Shangguan family is destined to be the ghost under her sword." His tone changed, and Mrs. Zheng's voice was full of resentment: "But, what crime did I commit in my previous life? Do you want to be implicated by your family again and again? Because your grandfather is ignorant of current affairs, I have become a servant who is beaten and scolded at will. Now because of you, I can't even save my life."

Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said: "Mother, don't worry. I have already told the Queen of Heaven that if I make mistakes in the future, the Queen of Heaven will punish me alone. Everything has nothing to do with my mother. The Queen of Heaven has already agreed."

Mrs. Zheng didn't expect Shangguan Wan'er to say such a thing, she was speechless for a moment, thought for a while and said: "Wan'er, I was in a hurry just now. A person like Tianhou will kill someone if he is not careful, you go to her It really worries me there. You have such a curt temper again."

Shangguan Wan'er just laughed and didn't speak.

The room fell silent.
