After being dressed as Wu Zetian's daughter, she was favored by the group

In the early morning, everything is silent. One meter of golden sunlight passes through the copper bells under the eaves and falls on the blue bricks of the Taoist temple.

A dazzling halo fell on Li Lingyue's face, and she subconsciously stretched out her hand to block the dazzling beam of light.

When she woke up from her dream, she lowered her head and looked at Gong'er in her arms.

The little girl smacked her lips, her big face with a smug smile arched into Li Lingyue's arms, her head pressed against her belly, breathing in the heat.

Li Lingyue's ears felt hot, she pinched Gong'er's cheek with her bare hands, and said with a smile:

"Hey, Pig Girl, Peppa Pig, wake up, get up!!"

Gong'er twisted her body, slowly climbed up from Li Lingyue's arms, rubbed her sleepy and fluffy eyes, and asked innocently: "Princess! It's dawn?!"

Li Lingyue gave her a slap in the face: "Get up quickly, if people see you later, you will be punished again!"

"Oh!" Gong'er responded, suddenly remembering something, his face changed, and he quickly fell to the ground to apologize:

"Princess! This slave fell asleep in your arms last night and committed the crime of transgression. Please punish me, Princess!!"

Li Lingyue, who was rubbing her thighs, had slightly red cheeks and rolled her eyes angrily:
"You stinky girl, are you deliberately trying to make fun of me? Have you ever seen any princess kneel down and give in like me? Okay, get up now!"

Gong'er raised her chin and looked at Li Lingyue firmly: "In my heart, the princess will always be a princess, a unique princess!"

'unique?Am I still the only one who respects me? 'Li Lingyue smiled self-deprecatingly and looked at the closed Taiqing Palace involuntarily...

The master and servant returned to their residence, and Gong'er went to fetch water himself. The two simply washed up and prepared to leave the room, but they saw Lingyun standing outside the house. Gong'er's face was filled with joy, and he quickly stepped forward and asked:
"Sister Lingyun, don't we have to kneel anymore?!"

Lingyun smiled awkwardly, saluted the two of them, and then corrected Gong'er: "I am a monk, so please don't call me 'sister'. Just call me by my name!" As he said that, he looked at Li Lingyue, a little embarrassed. He said apologetically:

"The disciple has been ordered by the master, and I only want to tell the princess that from today on, the princess can no longer kneel outside the palace in plain clothes. If the princess sincerely enters my Taoism, please put on the coat and go to the ground to read the scriptures!"

A simple sentence not only answered Gong'er's question, but also put forward new requirements.

Li Lingyue thought for a while and asked casually: "Senior Brother Lingyun, can we wear common people's clothes?"

Lingyun was stunned for a moment and immediately replied: "No!"

Li Lingyue smiled slightly, and without asking any more questions, she cupped her hands towards Lingyun and said, "Senior brother, please tell me back to my master, and I will do as you please!"

After sending Lingyun away, Li Lingyue went back to the house and put on her princess dress. Gong'er, who was helping to tidy up her clothes, kept asking questions:

"Princess, they are so strange. Yesterday they asked us to take off our clothes for viewing. Why are we allowed to wear clothes today?"

"Also, we only have palace clothes in our bags. Why did the princess mention the clothes of the common people? Didn't the slaves prepare any?"

"And! And! Why don't they allow us to wear ordinary people's clothes?"

Facing this upright girl, Li Lingyue was both amused and annoyed. She didn't bother to explain to her. As soon as she put on her clothes, she walked straight out of the house.

"Princess! Wait slave!"

Gong'er hurriedly put on her palace maid's clothes and followed quickly.

Li Lingyue walked a few steps, stopped again, turned to look at Gong'er, hesitated for a moment, and said seriously:
"Girl, you have been with me for a long time. There are some people, some things, and some words that you have to use your own brain to think about. You have an innocent personality, are honest and cute, and this princess really likes you, but..."

Speaking of this, Li Lingyue paused for a moment. Finally, she couldn't bear to ripen this girl prematurely. She waved her hand irritably: "Forget it, forget it. Just pretend that I didn't say it. You can figure it out yourself!"

"Ah!" Gong'er looked at Li Lingyue with a cute expression on her face: "Princess! What did you realize?!"

Li Lingyue felt two black lines on her forehead and said angrily: "I understand how your IQ is on the line as soon as you see Sister Wan'er!"

After saying that, Li Lingyue left without looking back. Gong'er froze on the spot and muttered: "What's wrong with the princess? What does wearing clothes have to do with Sister Wan'er?"

The master and servant came outside the main hall one after another. Just like yesterday, Li Lingyue knelt on the ground respectfully, took out the book "Dongxuan Lingbao Three Cave Fengdao Kejie Camp Beginning" that he had memorized by heart, and continued to read.

Gong'er knelt beside her. Although she was holding a book in her hand, her eyes were particularly distracted. It was obvious that Li Lingyue's words had stimulated her to some extent, so that she did not focus on the book.Different from yesterday, today the door of Taiping Temple is open, and pilgrims can enter the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings!In this way, all the pilgrims who come in will pass by Li Lingyue!

Li Lingyue and Gong'er, who were kneeling on the ground, soon became the most eye-catching sight in the Taoist temple. It was difficult not to notice them.

Every pilgrim passing by would look at the two of them for a moment. Their curious eyes seemed to be watching two monkeys from Mount Emei.

Gong'er's round face turned red with shame. She spread out the book with both hands and buried her cheek in it. Then she looked sideways at Li Lingyue. She saw that Li Lingyue was holding the book in one hand and her body was upright. The expression on her face was calm and composed, completely ignoring the eyes of outsiders.

Gong'er turned her head in shame, then plucked up the courage, followed Li Lingyue's example, raised her forehead again, and knelt on the ground openly.

Strangely enough, Taipingguan, which is not a large-scale temple, is crowded with pilgrims and crowded with people today.

Unlike ordinary people, the dignitaries in Luoyang City received news early in the morning that the princess was practicing Taoism in Taiping Temple, so they ordered their slaves to drive to the Taoist Temple just to see the princess's face.

Ordinary people may not be able to discern Li Lingyue's identity, but these dignitaries have seen the world.

When they entered the temple and saw the clothes on Gong'er, they immediately recognized that she was a maid in the palace. Then they looked at Li Lingyue, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and they naturally guessed that she must be a princess.

The majestic princess of the country actually knelt respectfully in the Taoist temple and recited scriptures. This shocked them greatly and at the same time created a deep awe for Tiandao Sect. Tiandao Sect could also use this to demonstrate its absolute power and status. .

It's a truth that ordinary people can understand, how could Li Lingyue not know it!
But the current situation does not allow her to act arbitrarily. As long as Empress Wu does not fall, one day she will be able to get back her lost dignity twice as much. Therefore, she will endure humiliation and make unconditional compromises.

Fortunately, the majesty of her princess was still there. These dignitaries knew clearly that the person kneeling on the ground was a princess, so they did not dare to come forward to disturb her. They lined up in a long line and passed by Li Lingyue one by one, then stopped and bowed to Li Lingyue. , and then leave in turn.

"Princess! I have figured this out!" Gong'er's pretty face darkened as she looked at Li Lingyue and whispered.

Hearing this, Li Lingyue looked sideways at Gong'er and asked with some hope: "Oh? Really? Then you should tell me what you want to understand!"

Gong'er took a deep breath and said sadly: "My slaves have all figured it out. They asked us to show off in palace clothes, deliberately letting outsiders know the identity of the princess, and by letting the princess kneel here, they deliberately humiliated us in front of the world. Princess, it won’t take long before everyone will know that the princess who is so high and mighty... also kneels down to them... sometimes!"

The more Gong'er talked, the more sad she became. Her tears were like broken beads. She wiped her eyes and begged: "Princess, how about... let's get out of here!!"

Li Lingyue curved her mouth, pinched Gong'er's cheek, and said sincerely: "You girl, you finally have some brains, but unfortunately your vision is still too short-sighted, eh!"

Li Lingyue sighed, picked up the book again, and was about to continue reading, when Gong'er stood up from the ground, gritted her silver teeth and said:

"How could my slave let the princess be so humiliated? Gong'er will risk her life to seek justice for the princess!"

After saying that, she was about to go to Yu Zhenzi for a theory. Li Lingyue looked at Gong Er, feeling very moved in her heart, but with a frosty look on her face, she scolded sternly:

"Don't go, just kneel down!"

"Princess!!"

"Your Majesty!"

Li Lingyue's unquestionable tone made Gong'er's face sparkle with tears. She stamped her feet fiercely and had to kneel down again.

After a long time, Li Lingyue saw that the little girl was still sobbing, and her heart softened. She put down the book and stretched out her sleeve to wipe her tears.

It was okay if he didn't wipe it, but when he wiped it, there were more tears. Li Lingyue felt that she had met an ancestor, and she quickly comforted her with kind words:
"Silly girl, stop crying. Think about it, the purpose of our coming here is to honor our mother, not to practice this bullshit Taoism. Since we are here for a purpose, we have to pay a price, right? To say the least, we humans We’ve all come and we’ve endured our sins. If we leave now, wouldn’t all the cowardice I suffered before have been in vain?”

"But...but...now...!" Gong'er sobbed and wanted to continue to express her grievances. Li Lingyue shook her head and smiled:

"I know what you want to say, but you have to learn to look at the problem from another angle. What are you? You are just a little palace maid, and I am just a princess without power. The sum of our faces is , can you bring down the Heavenly Dao Sect? Can you make them obediently hand over their holy seals and bow their heads to apologize? Can you force the royal family to break with Taoism? Can you make everyone in the world stand on your side? If not? Then what about your impulse and indignation today? , in the eyes of others, it’s just an ordinary man’s courage to fight for face!”

"But princess, can we only endure the humiliation of others like this?" Gong'er asked unwillingly.

Li Lingyue stretched out her finger and scratched the bridge of her nose, and continued to enlighten:
"Remember! It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. People can bully you now just because you are not strong enough, not powerful enough, and not bad enough. So you deserve to be bullied, deserve to pretend to be a grandson, deserve to be a bastard, but once you are strong enough back……"

Speaking of this, Li Lingyue glanced at the Taiqing Palace again and said bitterly: "Just wait and see, I will have a thousand ways to kill that evil woman!" (End of Chapter)
