Chapter 108
Full of regret, Li Lingyue left the Xuanzheng Hall alone and returned to her Fengyang Pavilion.

Gong'er was dressed in onyx, when she saw the princess came back, she hurriedly ordered someone to prepare some melon and fruit snacks, and waited on her carefully.

The news of Li Lingyue's grandmother's death was known to everyone in Fengyang Pavilion. The princess wore onyx clothes, and the servants below spontaneously wore them too.

As soon as Li Lingyue sat down, Gong'er picked up a grape from the fruit plate as usual, peeled off the skin, and handed the pulp to her mouth. She shook her head, really not in the mood to eat.

"Princess, you can't be resurrected after death, so don't be sad!" Seeing Li Lingyue's sad face, the little girl comforted her.

"Hey, you don't understand!" Li Lingyue sighed and waved her hands: "Go down first, I want to be alone!"

Gong'er bit her lip, and said generously: "Princess! If you feel sad...Gong'er can accompany you to Ye Ting Palace, and Miss Wan'er is here..."

"Go down!" Li Lingyue interrupted Gong'er's words, her tone was three points cold.

"Oh...that servant will leave!" Gong'er looked at Li Lingyue worriedly, and then slowly exited the room.

As soon as Gong'er left, Li Lingyue lay powerlessly on the table, her mind full of thoughts and chaos.

According to the history she knew, A Niang did not go to Luoyang to observe filial piety after Yang's death, but continued to stay in Chang'an to control the government.

But in the current situation, A Niang has agreed to wear mourning, and the method of 'changing her surname to replace her filial piety' proposed by herself has not been adopted. Is it because history has shifted, or the history I understand is wrong.

"Who can tell me what went wrong!" Li Lingyue sighed helplessly while clutching her hair with both hands.

After saying that, a small round head came in from the door, Gong'er leaned against the door frame with half of her face, and asked with concern:
"Princess, what's the matter with you, is there something on your mind? What's wrong?"

Li Lingyue raised her forehead, looked at the overly caring Gong'er, and suddenly became angry, grabbed the grapes on the table and threw them at her.

"Get off! This princess doesn't want to see you again today!"

Gong'er shrunk her round face in fright, quickly entered the room to pick up the grapes on the ground, and while backing away, reminded:

"Princess calm down, Gong'er will leave now, but during lunch, Gong'er has to come over to pass the meal to the princess! Princess! Princess! Are you listening to the slaves?"

Li Lingyue had a look of lovelessness on her face, and with her chin in her hands, she said in a very pious tone:

"I was listening, can you leave now?"

"Oh! That Gong'er resigns!!"

"Wait!" Li Lingyue asked again worriedly: "Are you sure you won't show up again before lunch?"

Gong'er nodded wildly, "Don't worry! Princess! Gong'er knows that you have something on your mind, so she won't bother you anymore, and no one else is allowed to come in!"

"Hey! That's right! Go down!" Li Lingyue finally felt relieved.

After being sent away, she soon fell into deep thought again.

However, after a while, Gong'er's voice came again: "Princess! Princess!"

"Axi!" Li Lingyue, whose thoughts were disturbed, stood up angrily, walked to the door and grabbed Gong'er's skirt:

"You never finished, didn't you say you won't show up!!"

"Princess!" Gong'er said with an aggrieved face: "I don't mean to disturb you sincerely, it's because Eunuch Yang insisted on seeing you, and the servant couldn't stop me, so I rushed over to inform you!"

Eunuch Yang?Yang Yi?What is he here for?Is there something wrong with the queen mother?
Li Lingyue let go of Gong'er, and immediately ordered: "Quickly ask him to come in!"

"Yes! The slaves are going!"

Gong'er trotted out and led Yang Yi into the house after a while.

Li Lingyue went straight to the point: "Eunuch Yang, what can you do with me?"

"Princess, this old servant is ordered by my mother to pass on the word to the princess. At the next hour, I invite the princess to go to the Eastern Capital with my mother. There must be no mistakes!!"

Li Lingyue asked suspiciously: "Eunuch Yang, according to you, my aunt and I are going to Dongdu to mourn?"

Yang Yi bowed and corrected: "The empress is going to Dongdu to hold the funeral for Mrs. Rongguo, but the princess is staying in Dongdu to mourn for Mrs. Rongguo. The empress only needs to stay for three days, but the princess will stay for three years!"

Li Lingyue's heart 'thumped', her face was full of disbelief, she had only come back for a while, why the situation suddenly reversed, what happened while she was away!
Seeing that Li Lingyue was a little dazed, Yang Yi continued to exhort: "Your Majesty, please tell me that tomorrow morning, the princess must change into Taoist clothes!"

As he spoke, he waved to the little eunuchs holding trays behind them. They entered the room one by one and put the trays in their hands on the table. Li Lingyue looked around and saw all kinds of Taoist items in the tray, including Taoist robes. , dust, crowns, and some books.

What the hell?Is it because I am not allowed to become a monk?

Li Lingyue asked subconsciously: "Eunuch Yang, what does my mother mean by this? Could it be that you want me to become a monk?"

Yang Yi nodded, and replied truthfully: "The empress said, since the princess insists on mourning Mrs. Rongguo, it is not appropriate to use her identity as a princess, so she discussed with His Majesty to let the princess become a monk and give the Taoist name 'Taiping' to honor her Going to Dongdu as a 'Taiping Daoist' is not a violation of etiquette!"

That's it!

Li Lingyue suddenly remembered that in history, Empress Wu did let her become a monk in the name of "keeping filial piety for her mother", and ordered someone to build a Taoist temple in the palace, named "Taiping Temple", and she was canonized for this For 'Princess Taiping! 'This is the real origin of Princess Taiping.

It's just that the reason for the monkhood was more due to the expedient measures taken by Empress Wu in order to help her daughter avoid marriage with the Tubo prince, and the place where she practiced Taoism was in the palace, and she didn't go to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to mention it.

Li Lingyue Mu Ran realized that the trajectory of history was shifting quietly after all, but the general direction had not changed yet.

In other words, I, the traveler, may be changing history, or may be being changed by history.

After sending Eunuch Yang away, Li Lingyue immediately called Zhao Shi and asked her to pack her bags and make arrangements for leaving the palace.

He changed into the maid's clothes, took out a cloth bag from under the bed, and hurried to Yeting Palace.

She had to say goodbye to Shangguan Wan'er before she left Chang'an.

This time, she can't just walk away without even saying hello like last time, if Wan'er goes on a hunger strike again, she won't have time to cry.

What's more, it will take three years to leave, and in the near future, Zheng's mother and daughter will be allowed to leave the palace. After three years, they don't know if they will be able to see each other again.

So some things, if you don't say it now, I'm afraid you won't have a chance in the future.

Not long after, the prison gate guard stationed on the palace saw a white figure, like a butterfly flying across the sea, she hurried past on the imperial road of Daming Palace.

The beautiful shadows pass by, and the singing is melodious!
A sad "Friendship Forever" echoes in the sky of Datang:
Rather have old friends, you can forget each other!
It was never hidden in the center.

Rather have old friends, you can forget each other!
Never engraved in the past.

I tasted my son, I took pleasure in flying,
The hometown of picking chrysanthemums and Baiyun.

Carried and driven, slightly staggered,
Why not stick to the past.
