Long live Emperor Wu!

Chapter 84 Discussion
"Your Majesty is not willing to depose the deposed prince. The prince is not easy to be. Once he falls, the end of the deposed prince will be considered good... Think about the one from the previous generation, all his children were killed. .”

Wu Rou listened to what they said and the more they talked, the more outrageous they became. She was afraid that she would be overheard by a passing palace official and cause trouble again.

So she turned around and walked back a few steps. She reached the road outside the woods, found a place where she could show her face, and shouted loudly:

"Are they the girls who just entered the palace?"

The girl in the yellow shirt saw Wu Rou first and immediately stood up from her seat, talking to several other people.

Seeing their expressions, Wu Rou seemed to be guessing her identity, then she lined up in a row and walked out calmly.

They are all girls from official families in Chang'an. Although they are certainly not from the noble clans that have given birth to concubines, they are still officials of the fifth rank or above. If they are willing to be decent, they will definitely not be able to find anything wrong.

Their eyes were obviously looking at Wu Rou's clothes, because Wu Rou often wore simple clothes and few headdresses. They seemed to be confused about her details, and their eyes wandered between respect and arrogance.

Finally, his eyes fell on the goldfish bag on her waist, and her hesitant expression calmed down.

Wu Rou watched them approach with a smile on her face. When they stopped in front of her, she smiled and said:

"I am Wu Cai, and I am here to take you to Anren Hall."

When the five girls heard this, they all raised their hands, saluted her, and said:
"I've met Wu Cairen."

Wu Rou nodded. She was now 20 years old. Looking at these young and immature girls, she was just like looking at herself when she first entered the palace. She felt quite emotional in her heart and said:

"Come with me. The sun is shining brightly outside. When we get to Anren Hall, there will be maids waiting on us and cold drinks to relieve the heat. It will be much more comfortable."

The five people agreed and followed her to Anren Hall.

Taiji Palace is very large. Even if Anren Palace is very close to the east gate of Yeting Palace, it is enough for people to walk for a while.

Wu Rou could feel that several young girls had been behind her, looking at her secretly with their eyes. Finally, some of them couldn't help but speak.

The woman in Su Qing's shirt took two steps forward, then half a step behind Wu Rou. She smiled at her tenderly and sweetly and said:

"Wucairen, you are so beautiful."

Wu Rou glanced at her and saw that her face was like a silver plate, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and she looked very wealthy, so she smiled and replied:

"Girls are beautiful."

The girl smiled shyly, shook her head slightly, and said:

"Wucairen is a person who was given the title "Mei" by His Majesty, which speaks volumes. Your Majesty has never praised another woman so highly."

Although she was praising her, she could still hear the sarcasm. Wu Rou glanced at her, but her eyes were bright, full of love and envy.

She also felt that she had something wrong with her, so she thought she was being sarcastic.

However, everyone knows that His Majesty likes talented women, so this "charming" title seems to be a kind of irony no matter how you look at it.

It's as if she is a person with good looks but an empty head.

...It is simply a lifelong shame.

"What's the girl's last name?" Wu Rou asked.

"My surname is Wang, and I am the second eldest daughter in the family, so I can be called the second mother," she said.

Wu Rou said with a smile:

"Miss Wang, don't think about praising me like this. Now think about how to say a few more words to His Highness the Crown Prince. It's only right to praise him."

"Will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come today?" Miss Wang was obviously very excited, her eyes gleaming.

The other girls following behind were obviously more active, making some exclamations and excitement.Wu Rou couldn't help but turned her head and took a look, and found that Miss Liu, who had previously said in the pavilion that she was not willing to marry the prince, was no less excited than the others.

Wu Rou smiled and said nothing, but her pace of leading the way became faster.

……

……

After Wu Rou picked up the girls, she went to personally invite Concubine Wei to the banquet. When the two came down from the second-floor attic, Concubine Wei asked her:
"I just met those girls, which one do you think is better?"

Wu Rou raised her eyes in surprise and said with a smile:

"Why do you ask me for this? You are not choosing a concubine for me. You should ask His Highness the Crown Prince."

Concubine Wei pulled her shawl and replied with a smile as she walked:

"You're so talkative, of course I didn't choose it for you... But when they are in front of me, they must be hiding it to see if it's true, so I have to listen to the opinions of the people below."

Wu Rou tilted her head slightly and replied seriously:

"When Ah Rou went to pick them up, she secretly observed a few times from a distance. The girl from the Liu family said she didn't want to marry the prince, and she didn't know if she meant it. The girl from the Wang family liked the prince's appearance very much, most of all. Positive. The others didn't see how it was.

Anyway, these girls are definitely good in terms of looks and talents.With Ah Rou's little ability, she could only see this little thing. "

Concubine Wei slightly raised the corners of her lips and smiled gracefully, and said appreciatively:
"I said it but didn't seem to say it. It has content but doesn't offend anyone... You may seem clumsy, but in fact you are very shrewd."

When Wu Rou heard this, her smile grew bigger and she flattered her:

"It's all taught well by the empress."

Who knew that Concubine Wei suddenly asked:
"How did you, a shrewd person like you, offend the prince and let him, a tolerant and peaceful person, drive you out of Wude Palace?"

Wu Rou's heart skipped a beat, she blinked her eyes in a panic and said:

"Arou... wasn't very clear either. I just said that I regretted not following His Majesty in the expedition, and he... gave me a holiday and never let me serve him again."

Wu Rou always felt that the prince's appearance at that time seemed to be jealous of her.Although she felt that she must have been overthinking and made the mistake out of whims.

But when she said this, she was still afraid that Concubine Wei would also hear the unusual meaning.

Who knew that Concubine Wei nodded and said:

"That's no wonder. Our prince is kind-hearted and considerate of others. If you say that, he will think that you are unwilling to serve him, so of course he will let you go."

When Wu Rou heard this, she felt slightly relieved, but at the same time she felt a little regretful and said:
"Oh...I see, that's not what I meant."

Concubine Wei sighed and said:

"I know, but how can a man understand the difficulties of being a woman? When you go to invite him later, explain a few words and go back to Wude Hall.

Everyone in the harem will make random guesses based on the situation. If you are suddenly kicked out, everyone will think that you have made a big mistake.

Things that don't exist in the first place will become more and more outrageous because of the blankness. There will be a lot of rumors and rumors based on the blankness, which is not conducive to the peace of the harem. "

When Wu Rou heard this, cold sweat broke out on her forehead.She didn't hear what others said about her, oh, but today she heard half of it, saying that she couldn't have children, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with the prince.

But there must be some rumors about Concubine Wei, so she would mention her like this.

"Yes." Wu Rou quickly agreed obediently.I thought anxiously in my heart:

I don't know what to discuss about the fact that she was kicked out by the prince...
