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

Chapter 24
Being caught by her daughter in public, Wu Zetian's ears turned red, and she casually threw the unfinished "Myrobalan" into Cui Daizhao's arms, and changed the subject:
"Explain to me first, what is this thing you embroidered, if you can't explain why, then see how I will deal with you!"

Li Lingyue grinned, trying to ease the atmosphere, walked up to Empress Wu in two steps, unfolded the brocade handkerchief she embroidered again, and said to her scientifically:

"Ma'am, I don't know, what I embroidered is a pair of penguins, hey! Look here!"

While talking, the mother and daughter put their heads together, and Li Lingyue pointed to the pattern on it and continued:

"The one with a red scarf around its neck is male, representing the elder brother of the prince! The one standing next to it with a pink bow on its head is female, representing the princess!"

Empress Wu held back her anger and asked, "What is a penguin?"

"It's QQ, no! Penguins are a kind of birds that live in Antarctica, a place of bitter cold and many glaciers."

"You have never been there, how do you know there is such a bird?"

"This, I heard it from an old uncle?"

"Which uncle?"

"Ma... Hey, Auntie, don't worry about these things. In short, as long as the male and female penguins are gathered together, it represents love!"

"Since birds in the land of glaciers, how can they be embroidered on Chinese clothes?"

"Doesn't this imply that the relationship between the prince's elder brother and his sister-in-law is pure and pure?"

"Stop talking about this!" Empress Wu couldn't stand listening anymore, grabbed the brocade handkerchief and threw it out again.

"Embroider mandarin ducks for me honestly, don't make them up!" Empress Wu ordered in an unquestionable tone.

"Sorry to tell me, don't you still embroider some flowers and plants?" Li Lingyue muttered in a low voice, who would have offended Empress Wu immediately, and immediately reprimanded:

"You still dare to talk back, don't you!"

Li Lingyue took a stride, snatched the "Hezi" from Cui Daizhao's arms, summoned up his courage to argue:
"Grandmother, what's wrong with me embroidering penguins, don't you also embroider for my sister-in-law... Huh? Why is the size of this Myrobalan so small? The golden peony on it..."

Li Lingyue suddenly found that the underwear in her hand was so familiar, it was exactly the same as what she was wearing!
Since she was a child, all of her underwear were embroidered with a golden peony flower pattern. Empress Wu only said that it was made by the Shang Palace Bureau, so she naturally didn't take it seriously.

She has matured a long time ago. For these underwear, as long as they are comfortable to wear, she doesn't care who made them.

Only now did I realize that from beginning to end, all her clothes were sewn stitch by stitch by Empress Wu herself, which made Li Lingyue both shocked and moved.

Although it is said that in ordinary families, mothers sew clothes for their children, it is their duty, but the problem is... that is Wu Zetian, the number one empress in ancient and modern times!

For a strong woman who is only obsessed with power to take time out to do needlework, and for ten years as a day, it must be a great favor to enjoy such treatment.

Li Lingyue's eyes were a little sore. She suddenly thought of her mother in that life, who kept telling her all day long that the reason she was born was purely an accident, and she would live in her own world forever, with a big gold chain and a small watch, two times a day. After a small barbecue, she still pulled her at every turn, and had to watch "You Who Came from the Star" together.

As the saying goes: no comparison, no harm!

At this moment, Li Lingyue, for some reason, felt like that bag of cold medicine in her heart, warm and caring, and the eyes of Empress Wu became much more pleasing to the eye.

When her daughter discovered her little secret, Empress Wu's ears turned red, she snatched the myrobalan and flicked it casually, pretending not to care.

"Go and embroider brocade handkerchiefs for me, when will it be embroidered, and when will it be out of the court!"

"Don't mind, Auntie! Listen to me first!" Li Lingyue took Empress Wu's arm and forcibly acted cute!

"Listen to what you say!" Empress Wu gave her a blank look, but let her daughter hold her arm.

"Listen to me, thank you, because of you, the four seasons have been warmed up... Bah, bah, bah! Why did I sing it!"

Li Lingyue slapped herself, stared at Empress Wu again, and said emotionally:
"Aniang, thank you for the clothes you made for your daughter. In this situation, I want to sing a poem for you!"

"Oh? You can also recite poems!" Empress Wu asked expectantly with a happy expression.

"Of course, my daughter has read poetry and books for many years, so she still has this ability!" Li Lingyue said, patting her chest.

"Then come and listen!"

Just as Li Lingyue was about to speak, she suddenly thought of something, rolled her sly eyes, and said to Empress Wu in a discussing tone:

"Aniang, in ancient times, Cao Zhi wrote a poem in seven steps. Today, I, Li Lingyue, can write a poem in just half a step. If it suits your wishes, I will be spared the work of embroidery, okay?"

Wu Zetian snorted softly and refused, "No way! Who knows if you are stealing other people's poems!"

"This is simple, then I will sing the scene of my mother making clothes for her daughter today!"

Empress Wu nodded, and sat back on the main seat, waiting to see how her beloved daughter could become a poem in half a step!

Li Lingyue cleared her throat, and under the watchful eyes of Empress Wu and Cui Daizhao, she pretended to meditate for a few seconds, then moved her footsteps lightly, and took that half step!

"The thread in the hands of a loving mother, the clothes on the daughter's body!"

"Sew and cut every year, fearing the cold and heat!"

"Whoever says that the heart of an inch of grass will be rewarded with three springs."

Under Li Lingyue's tampering, Meng Jiao's "Wandering Zi Yin" also recited the artistic conception of deep love between mother and daughter. Cui Daizhao beside him couldn't help clapping his hands and praised:
"The princess is so talented, the servants really admire her!"

Empress Wu, who was sitting upright, repeated the last two sentences.

Soon, the brows were stretched, the smile was blooming, and the poems written by the daughter were also very recognized!
"Are you sure you did this?" Empress Wu reconfirmed in a happy mood.

'I'm sorry, Lao Meng, it's really helpless to steal your masterpiece. Who said you haven't been born yet? No, according to this point, your grandfather hasn't even been born yet, so I can't blame you. hey-hey! '

Li Lingyue confessed from the bottom of her heart, and admitted cheekily:
"Of course, don't look at whose daughter I am!"

This sycophantic flattery hit Empress Wu's heart directly. The latter enjoyed it so much that he turned his head and told Cui Daizhao:
"Cui Shi, use your notes!"

"Yes, madam!"

Taking advantage of Empress Wu's ease of mind, Li Lingyue seized the time to fulfill her promise.

"Aniang, there is nothing else, my daughter will go back!"

After finishing speaking, he was about to get out of the way with small steps.

Unexpectedly, just after taking two steps, Empress Wu's voice came from behind:
"stop!"

'Assiba! ' Li Lingyue snorted, and could only turn around patiently and asked:

"Auntie, what else do you want!"

Empress Wu took a sip of the fragrant tea, put down the teacup slowly, and looked at her anxious daughter with an increasingly sly look on her face.

"The poem just now moved my mother very much. It's rare for my daughter to show filial piety. In the next few days, you will guard the Shang Palace Bureau for my mother. After the crown prince's gift of accepting the levy is ready, my mother will return it to you. free!"

"Bah! You old fox!"

Li Lingyue cursed in a low voice, but Empress Wu had sharp eyes and ears, she seemed to hear something, turned her face in an instant, frowned, and yelled loudly:

"Bastard, what are you talking about!"

Li Lingyue let out a foul breath, pointed at herself, then at Empress Wu, and said in a strange tone:
"I said... I!! Thank you!!"
