Long live Emperor Wu!

Chapter 125: Don’t you hold grudges anymore?
Wu Rou looked at the way they looked at her and wanted to turn around and leave, so she greeted them with a smile:
"I have seen the two princesses, but I didn't know that the two princesses are also here. If it is inconvenient, I will go out right away."

Princess Gao Yang spoke first, sneered and said:

"Master Wu, this is the harem. The resting place set up in this side hall was originally prepared for you. We married princesses are from other people's families. If we want to leave, we must leave."

Wu Rou couldn't leave because she was so sinister, so she answered:

"As for the princess, the two princesses are deeply loved by His Majesty. There is no way that a little talent like me can match them. Otherwise, I'd better go back to save the child from crying and disturbing the two of you."

At this time Princess Chengyang spoke, she whispered:

"Just stay here. It's not easy to raise children. If you go out and cause trouble, it will delay your father's acceptance of the congratulations. You will inevitably be punished."

"Yes."

Wu Rou could only stay and let the wet nurse hold Xiao Fuzi while she fed the child some milk paste spoonful by spoonful.

She could feel the eyes of the two princesses on her, with scrutiny in the silence.

After a while, the two people forgot about her and started chatting by themselves again.

Princess Gaoyang said:

"...So a small country has its own advantages. Think about it, if it was our Tang Dynasty and the emperor had no sons but only one daughter, would it be possible for his daughter to inherit the throne? Impossible. The ministers alone would be in trouble."

Princess Chengyang said:

"I don't believe it. They must have made trouble, but they have never made trouble. Didn't the Silla envoy just say that some ministers rebelled and failed, but Queen Seondeok of Silla also died. She was just He passed the throne to his cousin and came to ask the Tang Dynasty to grant him the title of county king."

Princess Gao Yang was a little irritable and said:
"Hey... I mean, if in the Tang Dynasty, she wouldn't be able to be the queen for a day, I can't even think about it. How would the Tang Dynasty, a civil servant and a general like this, allow a woman to become the king? She wouldn't have started a rebellion long ago.

You said it would be great if we were born in a small country like Silla, then I would have the opportunity to be a queen. When the time comes, I would also have a harem and raise all kinds of beautiful men..."

"Shh...!" Princess Chengyang glanced at Wu Rou, tugged Princess Gaoyang's sleeve, and said in a loud voice, "If your words reach Father's ears again, be careful not to be punished again."

Princess Gao Yang snorted coldly and asked directly to Wu Rou:
"Wu Cairen, you won't tell my father, right?"

Wu Rou quickly turned her face and said with a smile:

"I didn't listen carefully to what the two princesses just said. I was just looking after the children. But don't worry, princesses. I'm not good at anything. I just have a strict mouth and don't like to pass on messages."

Princess Gaoyang rolled her eyes at her, wanting to laugh a little, and said to Princess Chengyang:
"Look, she would never dare. Even if she did, it would be okay...Father already knows who I am and has been angry for a long time."

Princess Chengyang smiled, sighed and said:
"Although Silla is a small country, it is not as big as ours, but it is definitely not easy to be a queen. If it is like you said, she can have a harem, how can she not have any heirs, and she has to pass the throne to the queen? Where’s my sister?”

Princess Gaoyang sneered and said sarcastically:

"That's not because she's not enlightened. She's already a queen, so she's still afraid of having a harem? Afraid that people will say she's not virtuous and virtuous enough? Is virtuous and virtuous a word for evaluating a monarch?
If one were to evaluate any emperor in history and say that he was infatuated, devoted, virtuous and virtuous, he must be a waste and should not be laughed to death by the world?hehe……"

Princess Chengyang lamented again and said:
"Okay, why do you think about what you don't have? Just accept your fate and be content. Think about Silla, Baekje and Goguryeo. The three kingdoms are standing at the same level. Today, this one will unite to fight that, and the other will jointly fight this.

Think about Baekje. A few years ago, Baekje sent envoys to pay tribute, saying that it was bullied by Goguryeo. Later, when his father went to the east and saw that the Tang Dynasty failed to pacify Goguryeo, it turned around and became Goguryeo's loyal dog, and went to fight Silla together. .In such a small country, even if you are the king, you must be on tenterhooks, always worried about the destruction of the country and the family. How can you be as comfortable as the princess of the Tang Dynasty?

Look outside, which small country does not seek protection from the Tang Dynasty?Would the princess of the Tang Dynasty worry about the destruction of her country and her family? "

Princess Gaoyang had nothing to say. She looked at Princess Chengyang with some resentment for a while, then pulled her shawl unhappily and said:
"As long as you are content and can think about it...don't you hold grudges about Du He?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Chengyang's eyes dimmed for a moment, and she looked at Wu Rou for a while, seeming to be hesitant about whether she should say anything. After a while, she still spoke honestly and said:
"It's a lie that I don't hold grudges at all. At that time, I felt that my father didn't miss me at all.

My eldest brother is alive, but my consort is dead. It's too partial.But now, Xue Lang and I have a very good relationship... Let's just take it as fate. "

Wu Rou remained silent, concentrating on feeding Xiao Fuzi, and then went out and stayed there until the end.

At this time, a palace maid came outside. The palace maid saluted the two princesses, and then said to Wu Rou:

"Talent, the imperial concubine has something to invite you to come over."

Wu Rou was stunned for a moment, feeling a little strange in her heart. She was not responsible for the banquet today. If the concubine had other matters, she wouldn't choose this time to talk about it, right?
But what's strange is that if the imperial concubine wants to find her, she must go.

So Wu Rou said to the nurse beside her and Cai Yi:

"You two watch your children, stay here honestly, don't go anywhere, be careful of bumping into any noble person."

When Wu Rou saw them responding, she turned around and went out.

When they got outside, they realized that the palace maid who had just delivered the message had gone somewhere.

With doubts in her mind, she passed by a group of busy palace maids, bypassed the seats of the concubines, reached the front position, found Concubine Wei, bowed and saluted:

"Mother, are you calling me?"

Concubine Wei was watching the performance at the banquet. She turned her head in confusion and asked confusedly:
"No, who told me this?"

As she spoke, she glanced at the female officer behind her and the palace maids and chambermaids standing in the distance. The female officer quickly responded:
"I guess he's not from us. Xu was the maid at some banquet, and she conveyed the wrong message."

Concubine Wei nodded and said to Wu Rou:
"Go back. If the person who is looking for you can't find you, he will ask again. With so many people, mistakes are inevitable... You should also be careful yourself. Don't ask someone you don't know clearly when passing a message. Just say whatever you want. What do you believe?"

Wu Rou said obediently, lowered her head slightly, then turned around and went back.

When they arrived at the resting room of the side hall, they saw that Princess Gaoyang and Princess Chengyang had left. Only Caiyi and the nurse stayed inside, and Xiao Fuzi was also missing. She was stunned for a moment and then asked:

"What about the child?"

When the wet nurse and Cai Yi saw her coming in, they also looked surprised and dumbfounded. Cai Yi said:
"Wang Jieyu came over just now and said that you asked her to pick up the child, so she took the little prince away..."

When Wu Rou heard this, her heart skipped a beat. Wang Jieyu was the one who lost her daughter in the same year that Princess Jinyang passed away.
