Long live Emperor Wu!

Queen Wang sneered:
"Does she have the means? She has the means. Let her fight with Concubine Xiao Shu. Once Concubine Xiao Shu loses her favor, she will be useless.

His Majesty likes her now, but it's just because he has never had it. How long will it last until they are really together?Just because she's so old?Just because of her unsupported family background?Or is it based on her resume as Taizong's concubine? "

Tu Sijiao felt uneasy. He lowered his head and his eyes darted around, but he didn't speak any more.

Anyway, Queen Wang's insistent tone didn't seem to allow her to refute.

Queen Wang finally came back from the window, turned to sit on the low couch, looked at Tu Sijiao and said:

"And the most important thing is that she has been with Emperor Taizong for so many years and is not unpopular, but she has never had children, which means she is infertile.

But Concubine Xiao Shu can give birth. Your Majesty doesn't want to see me now, nor does he want to see Li Zhong. If Concubine Xiao Shu gives birth to a son in the future, Li Zhong may be dethroned as the crown prince... She is too dangerous. "

Queen Wang seemed to be persuading herself, and also her female officer. She leaned forward slightly, faced Master Tu, lowered her voice, and said through gritted teeth:

"If it weren't for the fear that His Majesty would take advantage of my fault and depose the queen, I would have killed her long ago. When the Wu family enters the palace, I will have a chance to clear up the suspicion and do something... Do you understand?"

Tu Sijiao's eyes flickered, he took a step forward and asked:
"Then what do you plan to do?...Wu's status is special, and His Majesty may not agree to it.

He is the emperor. If he had thought about it, he would have done this trivial matter a long time ago. I am afraid he still has some scruples.

I'm afraid that your Majesty will be angry if your Majesty proposes this. "

When Queen Wang heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and said:

"Haha... He has many things that make me angry. What can I do to not make him angry? Maybe he will really thank me for this matter."

She turned to Tu Sijiao and said:
"You go to Ganye Temple and pass on my edict to renew Wu's hair. After three months, the shawl will be returned to the secular world. I will personally take her back and be my maid. Can't she be grateful to me?"

Tu Sijiao sighed in his heart and could only say "yes" and agreed.

……

……

Ganye Temple.

Wu Rou stared at her own shadow in the basin in a daze.

It had been a long time since she had looked in the mirror.Nuns have no hair, so they don’t need to comb their hair, nor do they need to apply makeup or powder, so they don’t need mirrors in their meditation rooms.

In her impression, she was still in the Tai Chi Palace, so every time she accidentally saw herself in the water, she would be surprised.

Who is that person? His once bright eyebrows have become so dull, and his resentful expression has become even more obvious, with dissatisfaction written all over his face.

In addition, under the green Buddhist hat, the blue scalp on the temples was exposed, which made it even more ugly.

She could barely be considered a beauty before, but now she probably wouldn't even be seen in a crowd.

She couldn't help but think with self-loathing:
She is already so old, and Emperor Li Shan is four years younger than her. He is in the prime of life, so why would he take risks because of an old woman like her?

But when she thought about it, she felt that she was too arrogant:
Appearance is not a scarce resource.If you compare appearance, there will always be someone younger and more beautiful than you.

She was once influenced by Emperor Taizong and Concubine Wei when she was the most youthful and beautiful, and she knew this very well.

I have never thought about gaining anything through appearance.

Why do you care about your appearance now that you are older?
...It's all his fault!It's all that man's fault!

Wu Rou raised her hand in disgust, picked up some water splashes, and splashed them on the calm water, washing her shadow cleanly.

She clearly knew in her heart that if he didn't agree at that time and said he needed time to think about it, it meant that he would not agree.Why are you still here holding on to useless hopes and wishful thinking!
forget it.

The Persian beauty who was squatting with her to wash clothes suddenly bumped her with her arm and said:

"What were you thinking about just now? About the young emperor?"

When Wu Rou heard this, she frowned slightly and rolled her eyes and said:
"I'm thinking, how can a person who hasn't learned Chinese in the palace for more than ten years learn Chinese in less than a year when he goes to the temple and recites Sanskrit sutras every day?"

The Persian beauty looked embarrassed for a moment, rubbed her clothes and said:
"...I, don't I have an interpreter, am I too lazy to learn?"

Wu Rou deliberately sneered and teased her:
"It can be seen that if you are lazy in the past, you will make up for it sooner or later. If you had studied hard in the palace, when you first came here, because you didn't understand Chinese, you were asked to go east and west, and you were beaten until you were crying like a wolf."

When the Persian beauty heard this, she said "Uh-huh" twice and muttered:
"I'm unhappy again... I'm unhappy again... It's terrible to talk."

Wu Rou, who had a cold face at first, was suddenly amused by her.

At this time, a nun came from outside the yard and said to Wu Rou:

"Martial Sister, there is someone from the palace who wants to see you by name. Now he has been led to your meditation room."

Wu Rou's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly became happy.Did he send someone to pick her up?

Wu Rou quickly wiped the water off her hands, got up and ran towards her residence.

……

……

She ran all the way, but before she got there, she saw a familiar figure standing at the door of her room.

But it's not Xu's chamberlain, but a palace maid.

She was a little surprised, slowed down her pace, and after checking carefully, she shouted:
"Caiyi?!"

Cai Yi, who was facing the door of the meditation room and looking anxiously in, heard a familiar voice and immediately looked over, his expression frightened for a moment.

Obviously she didn't recognize her now, but after reacting, Caiyi happily ran over to greet her:

"Martial Arts Man!!"

Wu Rou grabbed her hand excitedly and asked:
"You're here...why are you here?"

Caiyi quickly said:

"Come on, come on, Master Tu is waiting for you. Go quickly. He gently took her arm and guided her into the meditation room."

Tu Si Jiao?Isn't that the queen's person?Why the Queen's people?

Wu Rou couldn't help but think to herself: Could it be that the queen knew about the emperor's private meeting with her last time he came here, so he sent someone to kill her? !
She was immediately frightened, and the hairs on the back of her neck stood up. Then she saw Tusijiao slowly turned around and gave her a kind and kind smile.

It doesn't seem like he's here to kill someone.

"Master Tu...why are you here?" Wu Rou couldn't help but asked cautiously.

Master Tusi came forward and took a few steps and said:

"Don't be afraid, Wu Cai. I'm here to deliver good news. The Queen has given you an order to renew your salary and return to secular life. After three months, you will be taken into the palace and become her maid."

Wu Rou's eyes suddenly lit up and she asked:
"This is what His Majesty meant, right?"
