Finally, Shangguan Wan'er calmed down slowly, put her arms around Wu Meiniang's neck, rested her head on her front, and said softly: "Tian Hou, I'm hungry."

When Wu Meiniang heard that Shangguan Wan'er finally spoke, she was overjoyed and immediately ordered someone to prepare lunch.

Before the two of them came to the food table, Wu Meiniang still didn't see Princess Taiping, so she turned around and asked Liu Niang: "Has Taiping finished trying on clothes yet?"

Liu Niang said with a smile: "The princess thinks there are a few things that are inappropriate, and is discussing with Si Yi how to cut them."

Wu Meiniang shook her head with a smile: "What does she know, she's just giving directions. Send someone to call her over for dinner. It's worth being so busy that she doesn't even eat for any important matter."

Listening to Wu Meiniang and Liu Niang's infinite love for Princess Taiping, Shangguan Wan'er was choked up for a while.However, a servant girl, a princess, who clearly understands the gap between clouds and mud, has no right to be angry.Besides, she is not Wu Meiniang's biological daughter, so she is not worthy to be compared with Princess Taiping at all.

The two sat in front of the food table and waited for a short time before seeing Princess Taiping coming in from the outside with a smile.Wu Meiniang said a few more words to her, but Princess Taiping naturally didn't care at all, she just picked out her favorite food and ate it.From time to time, Wu Meiniang put some meat slices into Shangguan Wan'er's bowl and watched her eat them all.

"Taiping, go home by yourself today, Wan'er stay with me overnight." Wu Meiniang said after the three of them rinsed their mouths.

Princess Taiping pouted and said: "I knew that since my mother saw Wan'er, she regarded Wan'er as her own daughter, and when she saw me, she thought I was an eyesore."

Wu Meiniang raised her hand and tapped her forehead and said, "You are still dissatisfied. What did I say to you before, did I tell you to take care of Wan'er like a younger sister? Why is Wan'er thinner than before leaving the palace? Is it? It’s snowing so much today, you let Wan’er go out with you in such thin clothes, it froze her to death. Is this how you take care of Wan’er?”

Princess Taiping stuck out her tongue.Princess Taiping is the only princess in the Tang Dynasty, she is young, and only others can take care of her. How can she know how to take care of others?

The second half of the day is lazy and leisurely.Shangguan Wan'er took a book from Wu Meiniang's desk, and casually flipped through it while drinking ginseng tea.On the other hand, Wu Meiniang was busy. First, she called the imperial physician to take the pulse of Shangguan Wan'er. After confirming that she was in good health, she asked the imperial physician to prescribe a prescription for strengthening her body, and asked Si Yi to make a cloak for Shangguan Wan'er immediately.

Shangguan Wan'er felt more and more sour when she heard Wu Meiniang directing everyone around for her.She has grown up so much, and there is only one person who is willing to care about her, but she can't stay here, by this person's side.

As soon as Wu Meiniang turned her head, she saw Shangguan Wan'er staring at her in a daze, and couldn't help smiling.Wan'er is good at everything, but she talks too little, making it difficult for people to understand her thoughts.Unexpectedly, Shangguan Wan'er got up and came to Wu Meiniang's side, reaching out to cover Wu Meiniang's hand.Wu Meiniang looked at her in surprise.

Shangguan Wan'er lowered her head and bit her lips thinking for a while, then Fang said: "The queen, the princess is going to get married soon. The princess said that after she gets married, Wan'er will go to the Prince's Mansion to serve His Royal Highness, and also said that the emperor intends to make Wan'er the crown prince." It's..." Shangguan Wan'er paused for a moment before saying, "To be the prince's side concubine..." Feeling Wu Meiniang's hand move, Shangguan Wan'er suddenly wanted to cry.Even if she died in the end, this person must care about her a little bit.

"Tianhou, is there any way to make Wan'er not go to the Prince's Mansion? Wan'er just wants to stay with Tianhou, and doesn't want to go to other places." To Shangguan Wan'er, she bowed her head to others, and she was ashamed and angry after speaking. It's unbearable, but I feel that I finally said it, and even if there are any accidents in the future, I will have no regrets.Even if he couldn't stay here for the rest of his life, it was comforting for Tianhou to hear her wish.

Wu Meiniang felt powerless for a while.After so many years, she could only stand there and watch things develop in a direction she didn't want.She still can't control the whole situation.

After a long time, Wu Meiniang said: "Wan'er, don't be afraid. The people in the East Palace know that you are my side, and no one dares to touch you. Just be patient there, and I will definitely find a way to get you back."

Wu Meiniang's answer was not unexpected, Shangguan Wan'er finally gave up.She must go to the Prince's Mansion.

While the two were silent, Ming Qingyuan asked to see him outside the hall.

Since Li Zhi used Ming Qingyuan's prescription and his eyesight improved greatly, Wu Meiniang invited Ming Qingyuan into the palace and became the exclusive imperial doctor of the empress.After several months of treatment, Emperor Li Zhi's condition was relieved and his spirit became stronger.In order to reward Ming Qingyuan's contribution, Wu Meiniang appointed him as a third-rank advising doctor, and authorized him to attend the palace to treat Li Zhi's illness.

Li Zhi had been ill for a long time and couldn't see things. He rarely met with outsiders and just sat idle in the palace every day.Now that Ming Qingyuan has entered the palace, he diagnoses diseases and boils medicines for him every day. Li Zhi's curiosity is unavoidable, and when he has time, he discusses with him the ability to conquer ghosts and exorcise spirits and the art of Qihuang.Ming and Qingyuan also often took the opportunity of illness to speak to Li Zhi, or criticize figures, or comment on political affairs, but seldom visited Wu Meiniang who strongly recommended him to enter the palace.

Wu Meiniang agreed.Shangguan Wan'er felt familiar when she heard the name Ming Qingyuan, and when she saw the real person, she was more sure where she saw it, but she couldn't remember it.When he was talking about Li Zhi's illness with Wu Meiniang, Shangguan Wan'er remembered that it was the person who said that the sun and the moon were in the sky.Thinking of Ming Qingyuan's words that day, Shangguan Wan'er laughed, she really had no fate with Tianhou.

After a while, Liu Niang entered the palace and invited Wu Meiniang to have dinner.Wu Meiniang asked Liu Niang to take Shangguan Wan'er to wash her hands first.After the two went out, Wu Meiniang asked casually: "Qingyuan, what do you think of Wan'er's face?"

Ming Qingyuan could see Wu Meiniang's intimacy with Shangguan Wan'er, but he also knew that if he blindly flattered him, he would not be able to please her, so telling the truth is the long-term solution, so he replied: "Miss Shangguan has a noble life, She has the posture of a pine crane, but I think Miss Shangguan has a high nose bridge and no flesh, and her temperament is arrogance and contempt, which is difficult for others to tolerate."

Wu Meiniang smiled lightly, not taking it seriously: "In a few years, she will definitely return to my side. So what if she is not tolerated in the world, I will take care of her. With me here, who can do anything to get her?"

Ming Qingyuan nodded: "Your Majesty is the noble person destined by Miss Shangguan, to relieve her suffering of having no relatives." It's a pity that her temper is too strong, you must know that the strong are easily broken, and the strong will be humiliated.What's more, the brow bone is protruding, and the angle is raised on the upper wavelength. People with this kind of face may have a short lifespan once they fall in love.If you want to keep your life safe, you can only escape into Buddhism.It's just that Ming Qingyuan also knew that there was no need to say these words, misfortunes and fortunes are destined, how can it be reversed by foreknowledge, but it's just hurting one's mind in vain.

After dinner, Ming Qingyuan still had to rush to make medicine for Li Zhi, so he went on his own.Seeing that Shangguan Wan'er was still depressed, Wu Meiniang really had a headache, so she ordered someone to fetch a book from the side hall where Shangguan Wan'er lived, and read it with her.After a few cups of tea, Shangguan Wan'er was immersed in the book, her face gradually softened.Only then did Wu Meiniang get up to approve the memorial.

When Wu Meiniang finished approving the memorial for tomorrow morning, Tuan'er was changing tea for her, and Shangguan Wan'er was still reading a volume of books under the lamp.Is this kid going to take the Hanlin exam?A smile floated on Wu Meiniang's lips.

After sending the group to make a bed in the back hall, Wu Meiniang took a sip from the teacup, thought for a while and said, "Wan'er, you can sleep with me today. Your house will not be lit for a long time, and you will be able to live in it next summer."

Sleeping with Tianhou?Shangguan Wan'er blushed suddenly and became nervous for no reason.What would others say if they found out?

Wu Meiniang looked at Shangguan Wan'er and became shy. This child, did she think that there was only one bed in the Queen's bedroom of the Tang Dynasty that could not be collapsed? She explained with a smile: "There are two large and small ones in the back hall. The big one is for resting at night, and the small one is for resting at night. The Zhang is for me to take a nap in the afternoon occasionally, Wan'er can just rest on that small bed overnight."

A heart suddenly cooled down, it turned out that I was being passionate.Can't tell whether it's disappointment or anger, Shangguan Wan'er can't wait to throw the book over.Even in the early morning of the next day, when Wu Meiniang put on Shangguan Wan'er the Firefox cloak made by the Department of Clothing Bureau, Shangguan Wan'er didn't give her a good face, and she didn't care how precious the cloak was.

"Wan'er, the last time you went out of the palace, I thought there were too many servants in Taiping, so I didn't let anyone follow you. Seeing that you came back this time, you are thin. When you go outside, let this maid follow you. Tell her to do it, do you understand?" Wu Meiniang pointed to the maid who was waiting at the side.It was the palace maid Liu Niang assigned to Shangguan Wan'er's side hall, her name was Cheng Yiwei.

Shangguan Wan'er nodded.This time I really want to say goodbye to the Queen of Heaven.However, with so many maids and eunuchs standing beside her, she couldn't even get a hug from Tianhou.
