With all his strength, Li Lingyue snatched the sharp sword away, stood upright, stared at the Taoist nun with her eyes, and her heart was filled with murderous intent.

The Taoist nun still looked calm and breezy, with an imperceptible arc drawn at the corner of her mouth, as if she was expecting Li Lingyue to get mad.

"What? Is the princess trying to die for her?"

Li Lingyue was short of breath, and another self in her heart repeatedly reminded her: Li Lingyue, don't be impulsive, she is deliberately provoking you, you must hold back.

With a sound of "ding", Li Lingyue threw the sharp sword in her hand to the ground. In the eyes of everyone, she knelt straight down, knocked her head on the ground, and respectfully saluted the Taoist nun.

"Princess Li Lingyue of the Tang Dynasty, pay homage to the Holy Seal and the Celestial Master!"

After all, Li Lingyue gave in. This kowtow of her head also foreshadowed that her dignity as a princess would officially be trampled under her feet from today onwards.

"Princess!!" Zhao Shi and Gong'er burst into tears, both knelt behind Li Lingyue and cried bitterly on the ground.

Standing behind Taoist nun, Shi Qingfeng's cheeks twitched slightly.

He would never have imagined that this woman, who kept provoking him and was beaten all over by him, would bow down and lower her high forehead for a slave.

Although the other party repeatedly pretended to be pitiful and shouted for mercy in his hands, how could that kind of begging be the same.

"Uncle!" Shi Qingfeng bowed to Taoist nun again.

The nun waved her hand to stop Shi Qingfeng's words, took a step forward, and pinched Li Lingyue's chin with her bare hands, their gazes intertwined.

"As expected of being the daughter of the Wu family, she has a bit of your mother's forbearance!"

A smile burst out on Li Lingyue's icy face: "Thank Heavenly Master for your praise, my aunt said so too!"

Seeing that Li Lingyue didn't do what she did, Taoist nun Sui Yue's quiet face finally showed a trace of coldness, she snorted, slapped Li Lingyue's cheek heavily, turned around and said to Shi Qingfeng:

"Let's go! It's really boring here!"

The two of them went forward and back, and after a few jumps, they disappeared.

After the two left, Zhao Shi and Gong'er hurriedly helped Li Lingyue up. Zhao Shi was moved and guilty because the princess knelt down and saved his life: "Princess! Are you okay? Do you want to rest first?"

Li Lingyue waved her hand and interrupted Zhao Shi's words. The smile on her face was still there, but her voice became low:
"Back to the palace!"

……

On the way back, the carriage, which was still laughing and joking, was completely silent at this time.

Gong'er tried to tell Li Lingyue two jokes, but she lost her voice while talking.

Zhao Shi played the round fan as usual, she understood the princess's humiliation, the princess didn't speak, and she didn't say anything to comfort her.

Li Lingyue leaned on the carriage, with her head resting on the window eaves, staring blankly at the scenery outside the window.

She thought of many people and things, especially Yang Xiuxiu, the crown princess who passed away.

At the beginning, Yang Xiuxiu, like her, also thought that she was a royal family and aristocrats, but in the end, she was not even an ant in the face of absolute power.

As a princess, she won the favor of the emperor and empress. She thought that she could walk sideways in the whole Tang Dynasty, but in fact, she was still just an ant in the eyes of others.

At the beginning, Yang Xiuxiu was under the aura of the crown princess, but in the end she stepped under her feet.

And she wore the halo of a princess, but in the end, she was also stepped on by others.

It can be said that the world is impermanent, and the way of heaven is reincarnation.

Tiandaomen, an organization above the imperial power, woke her up completely and taught her a good lesson.

'Good enough to be good enough to be evil!Evil is as good as evil! '

This is a sentence that Yang Kuo gave her before he died when she was in Fuzhou.

Literally understood, this sentence is full of contradictions and logical confusion, and was once regarded as absurd by Li Lingyue.

To this day, when she saw the Taoist nun's methods, she looked at this sentence carefully, and seemed to find a deep meaning.

Power, means, ambition, and humanity, these words repeatedly appeared in her mind, just as Yang Kuo said:

'When you are threatened, the best way is to kill them all. '

……

"Princess! Princess!"

Li Lingyue, who was deep in thought, was gently shaken awake by Gong'er.

She looked out the window, the car had already arrived at the city of Chang'an!
"What's wrong? Gong'er!"

"Princess! Eunuch Yang is here to pick us up, please get out of the car and change your clothes?"

change clothes?Li Lingyue subconsciously looked at the Taoist robe on her body. For some reason, a sense of 'disgust' arose spontaneously, and she nodded immediately.

Gong'er lifted the curtain of the carriage, Zhao Shi helped Li Lingyue out of the carriage.

The moment she stepped out of the carriage, she saw Wei Wei's spectacular scene.

Under Gwanghwamun Gate not far away, silk banners are fluttering, red carpets are spread on the floor, and tens of thousands of imperial guards are lined up neatly on both sides. There are Qianniu Guards with golden helmets and gold armors, and Jinwu Guards with silver armors and silver helmets. , as well as the Habayashi Army riding tall horses, and the guards of the Hongtao Xuanjia Prison.

All of a sudden, the Sixth Army of the North Yam and the Sixteen Guards of the South Yam almost all sent troops over. These imperial guards were mighty and majestic. One, welcome the princess back to the palace.

Behind these forbidden soldiers, there are still all the civil and military officials of the imperial court. They are dressed in court uniforms, and they are clustered around the emperor's imperial guard!
On top of Yu Huan, Li Zhi and Empress Wu sat side by side, looking at her with a smile on their faces.

With such a huge momentum, Li Lingyue's little heart couldn't help beating wildly.

After she got off the carriage, a dozen young eunuchs erected high curtains around her on the spot.

Another dozen court ladies held trays in their hands, and each tray contained special clothes and jewelry for the princess. They entered the curtain one by one, and formed a large circle with their backs against the curtain.

Li Lingyue was served by a few court ladies. She was stripped naked first, then entered a bathtub covered with petals to wash her body, and then put on dresses one by one from the inside to the outside, and then tied her hair in a bun. Nobile hairpins, step-shaking, earrings, jade belts, moth eyebrows, blush, rouge...

After a set of procedures, Li Lingyue was tormented enough. During the period, Empress Wu thoughtfully arranged for the imperial doctor to wait outside, and Li Zhi ordered someone to bring iced wine to quench her thirst and cool off.

In order to hold a welcoming ceremony for their daughter, the couple waited for her under the sun for more than half an hour.

After everything was ready, the two court ladies removed the peacock feather palm fans that covered them. Li Lingyue wore a red floor-length dress and a gilt hair crown. With the support of Gong'er, she walked calmly on the red carpet. Around her, several court ladies carrying flower baskets kept throwing flower petals into the sky.

Flowers foreshadowing, every step of the way a lotus grows!
The drums of Gwanghwamun were beating, and tens of thousands of forbidden soldiers and hundreds of civil and military officials all shouted in unison:

"Welcome to the thousand-year-old princess!"

The huge sound continued for a long time, Li Lingyue kept smiling, and walked towards Li Zhi and Empress Wu step by step.

Although an hour ago, she prostrated herself at the feet of others, betraying her dignity.

But for this moment, at least this moment!
She is still the princess of Tang Dynasty, the most favored princess in this empire.

Unknowingly, her body trembled a little, a seed was planted in her restless heart, and an imperceptible germ grew out of the seed.

Perhaps one day in the future, this germ will break through the ground and become a towering tree.
