The Moon Over Tang Dynasty Chapter 110

Chapter 110: Re-entering the palace and suspicion arises

Jade-colored gauze shirt, six-piece long blue skirt, and apricot-colored silk, all of which are simple and elegant. That is to say, the gold and jade hairpin with precious flowers on the bun gives off a slightly luxurious atmosphere.

Ani looked at Liuli, who was dressed almost the same as when she went out on weekdays. After hesitating for a long time, she finally couldn't help but said, "Is the lady dressed too plainly?"

The taciturn Yan suddenly said, "This lady is in perfect condition."

Liuli couldn't help but glance at Ayan, then turned around and smiled at Ani, "Zhaoyi is used to seeing me like this. It's not good to dress up like a butterfly as soon as we get married."

Picking up the posts on the desk, I couldn't help but shake my head. Could it be that after Pei Xingjian took his wedding leave, everyone made an appointment to start socializing? It's not surprising that Wu Zetian would summon her, it's not surprising that Pei Anshi's two daughters-in-law would come as guests, and it's even less surprising that Lu Jinniang would pass the post to the palace, but where did Yang Sixiniang sing? This schedule of days can hardly be arranged...

Xiaotan walked in with light steps, "The car is ready!" Seeing Ani follow Liuli out, she couldn't help but sigh with envy - she had never seen what the palace was like!

Ayan also sighed softly.

The carriage entered Taiji Palace from Yanxi Gate via Yong'an Gate. A chamberlain from Xianchi Palace had already been waiting at the door. When he saw Liuli, he came up to him with a smile and led the two of them to sit in the palace's light car inside the door. The Zhengmen put on the eaves that they had been waiting for. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Xianchi Hall, Aling led someone to greet him. He smiled and came up to hold Liuli's hand, "Congratulations, Mrs. Kudi!"

Liuli lowered her head and knelt slightly, "I've seen this prisoner before."

 You two looked at me and I looked at you, and couldn't help but smile at each other.

Everything in the Xianchi Palace seemed to be the same as it was half a year ago. Once again, he stepped on the red brocade lichen and walked to the west dormitory. As soon as Liuli entered, a familiar laughter rang out, "Who is this beauty? What a surprise. Excellent figure and appearance!”

I saw Wu Shunniang sitting on the crescent stool in front of the couch wearing a red Luo shirt, smiling brightly in spring, while Wu Zetian was sitting on the couch wearing a lake blue shirt, with a smile on her slightly pale face. , Liuli quickly walked up and bowed to the two of them, then looked up at Wu Shunniang and smiled, "This lady looks familiar, but she is much younger and more beautiful than the lady I know. Could it be that Mrs. Wu has other girls?" "

Wu Shunniang was startled, and with a "ha" sound, she came up to twist her mouth.

Wu Zetian, who was sitting on the couch, couldn't help but laugh, "That's all, you have a heavy hand. This new bride has been married for less than ten days, and you have broken her. What should I do?"

Liuli hid behind Wu Zetian and saluted with a smile, "Thank you Zhaoyi for saving your life!" Looking up, he saw that Wu Zetian was obviously much thinner than before, but her eyes were still bright and lively.

While Wu Zetian smiled, he looked Liuli up and down, and saw that her face was bright and beautiful, but her expression was no different from before she got married, and the hairpin on her head was a gift from her, and the smile in her eyes couldn't help but become warmer. Some, "Sure enough, Pei Shouyue has made a lot of money, so why is it so much easier?"

Mrs. Wu also nodded repeatedly, "Exactly! This kind of character is worthy of being a prince's wife."

Liuli's heart moved, knowing that some gossip had spread to the palace, she couldn't help but smiled bitterly, "Madam, please spare Liuli, Liuli won't dare to talk back anymore."

Wu Shunniang smiled and said, "You also know that your reputation is now far and wide?" Seeing Liuli blushing slightly, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, these words are nothing. In what year will this city of Chang'an not If there are one or two fox fairies, as time goes by and more people know you, it will naturally become a joke. "

Liuli sighed and thought, it's hard to say. For example, you two, the reputation of Hu Meizi is probably more famous than before.

Wu Shunniang smiled and pulled Liuli to sit next to her, and asked with great interest what happened before and after the wedding. Liuli picked up interesting stories and told them again. When she got to the point, her female relatives prepared their belongings and rushed out, only to be beaten. It was the wrong person. Madam Wu laughed so hard that she almost stopped breathing. Wu Zetian smiled while stroking her chest and calling someone, "Go and give Madam some luck," and all the maids in the room couldn't help but laugh.

In the midst of the excitement, I heard a laugh coming from outside the palace door and asked, "What kind of joke is this?"

Liuli was startled and stood up quickly, saluting respectfully to Gaozong who strode into the door. When Gaozong saw her, he couldn't help but be startled, "This is not..."

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "This is Pei Shou's bride!"

Gaozong nodded. Of course he remembered the woman in front of him, it didn't matter whether she was beautiful or not, but the faint uncomfortable feeling was so impressive that it was impossible to forget. His tone couldn't help but soften, " Get back on your feet." He turned around and asked Wu Zetian, "I heard a room full of laughter from a distance, what's so good about it?"

Wu Zetian smiled and told Pei Xing's plan to earn a best man again.

When Gaozong heard this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, "This Pei Shouyue, this move is too sinister!" He just smiled and suddenly covered his forehead with a "Oh!", and his expression became a little... Twisted.

Wu Zetian's expression changed and he stood up quickly, "Your Majesty, sit down quickly and take a moment." Then he ordered the palace servants, "Quickly send the imperial doctor to come in."

Gaozong sat down and covered his eyes. It took him a long time to exhale and frowned, "When the weather gets hot, the wind gets even stronger. I don't know what happened this year!"

After a while, footsteps were heard outside. The Huang Imperial Physician whom Liuli had seen before quickly entered the palace. Liuli was slightly surprised. Seeing this speed, there was actually an Imperial Physician on duty at Xianchi Hall again. ? I saw Dr. Huang half-kneeling down to take Gaozong's pulse. After checking with both hands, he whispered, "I'm afraid the weather is bad. Your Majesty needs to take two more doses of medicine and take a look."

Emperor Gaozong's headache was relieved, and he said impatiently, "You go down and prescribe a prescription first." After thinking about it, he asked, "How long will it take for Jiang Xiaozhang to come back?" Huang Yuyi lowered his head and replied, "I'm afraid it will be after six months. ”

Gaozong sighed, waved his hand to let him go down, and said to Wu Zetian, "It is said that Shang Yao Bureau has the most famous doctors in the world. I think there are only one or two who are really capable. I took Jiang Xiaozhang's medicine last year and it still worked. , but what these people prescribe is nothing. You were so injured last year, didn't you recover in two or three months? Now it's been four or five months, and you're still so thin. I thought about it, and decided to give it a try! It's better for him to come back soon, otherwise when will you get better?"

Wu Zetian said hurriedly, "It will be May in two days. The decree will not be issued much faster, but it will be a bit unreasonable."

Gaozong sighed and held Wu Zetian's hand with pity. The rest of the room looked at each other, bowed quietly and left, and Liuli followed Mrs. Wu out.

Mrs. Wu was silent all the way. When she got to her room, she cheered up and smiled with Liuli, "I was just halfway through talking. Is there anything strange going on later? How did they tease you that day?"

Liuli smiled and said, "Fortunately, because he won the bet, his colleagues can't do anything anymore, and the other women can only say something."

Mrs. Wu had a look of envy on her face, "You are really lucky. When I was a bride, I was often teased by those gangsters..." As she spoke, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Liuli hurriedly asked, "Why did I hear just now that Chiang's doctor won't be back for more than a month? What's going on?"

Mrs. Wu came to her senses and sighed, "It was Mei Niang's kindness. I heard that Chiang's family was not rich, and her father's coffin had never returned home, so she rewarded him with a lot of money and silk in February. Let him fulfill his wish. However, Chiang's hometown is far away, and it takes half a year to go back and forth. After he left, not only did Mei Niang's health not improve, but the emperor's headache this year was much heavier than usual, and he was often unable to do anything. Mei Niang no longer has the energy to take care of the affairs of the Six Shang Bureau, alas."

Liuli listened blankly, feeling that something was wrong, and couldn't help but ask, "Then who is in charge of these affairs in the harem now?"

Mrs. Wu snorted, "The imperial concubine used to take care of it, but now she slowly returned to the Li Zheng Palace." She sneered and lowered her voice, "But so what, the Holy Emperor has never set foot there again. , I heard that that person also didn't want to eat and drink every day, and Mrs. Wei Guo came in every day, so anxious that she rushed to seek medical treatment. Even so, that person still refused to let go of her authority. Concubine Xiao Shu became more and more concerned with it. She's getting closer..."

 That's right, if you don't give up your power even when you are sick, this is what a harem woman is! Liuli frowned, recalling the details of her meeting with Wu Zetian just now: She had indeed lost a lot of weight, and she seemed a little pale, but her eyes didn't look like she was too weak to care. She spent so much time in the Wannian Palace. How could the power of the harem, which had only been controlled by these means, be so easily handed back to the queen now?

Just when Liuli was about to ask a few more questions, Mrs. Yang walked in from the door. She smiled when she saw Liuli and said, "I just took a walk outside and heard that you have arrived when I came back. I haven't seen you for a few days. You really have a different demeanor." !”

Liuli hurriedly smiled and came forward to meet Li, and exchanged greetings for a long time. Mrs. Yang also asked some questions, and Wu Shunniang told the joke again, and everyone laughed. Liuli also mentioned that she visited the Hedong Duke's Mansion a few days after her wedding. Mrs. Yang asked her questions in detail and said with a smile, "The eldest princess of Linhai is the best at taking care of herself. I heard that bathing in goat's milk every day will make her jade." Apply the ointment to your body. If you are almost fifty, your skin will probably be whiter and tenderer than Shun Niang's."

Liuli sighed, "It's not goat milk, it's human milk."

Mrs. Yang and Wu Shunniang couldn't help but have expressions of surprise on their faces. Liuli continued, "The eldest princess only uses the finest Dragon's Day Incense when using incense. When eating sheep, she only eats the tenderest four ounces. The water is all from Suzhou." The stone water in Huqiu and the other furnishings in the central hall of Hedong Gongfu are not very recognizable. The hangings seem to be purple silk, and the lichen is not bad at all. "

Wu Shunniang couldn't help but shook her head, "Prime Minister Pei used to be the most wealthy. It turns out that the Hedong Duke's Palace is still so grand today."

Mrs. Yang was thoughtful, and the sarcastic smile on her face disappeared. Liuli saw it and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

While chatting and laughing, it was noon and Wu Shunniang took Liuli to have lunch together. Liuli saw that they were a little sleepy in the afternoon, so she stood up and left. Wu Shunniang wanted to keep her, so Mrs. Yang smiled and said, "You are the aunt and you are the same as me." People who don't care about things?" Wu Shunniang had no choice but to give up.

Seeing Liuli retreating respectfully, Mrs. Yang asked, "What were you talking about when I came in just now? I saw she seemed to have a sad face."

Wu Shunniang thought about it for a long time before saying, "It was just that the queen took charge of the affairs of the harem."

Mrs. Yang nodded and smiled, "She knows the importance of things and doesn't become frivolous because she is a fifth-grade lady!"

Wu Shunniang couldn't help but glance at her mother, "My mother likes to think too much. We still don't know who Liuli is? Doesn't it mean that she is not her after we get married?"

Mrs. Yang snorted, and Ani's report came to mind again, but she was too lazy to say more to her daughter - doesn't she know that people's hearts are fickle? And this Kudi Liuli has that kind of fate! Li Chunfeng's eyes were really poisonous. Thinking about Pei Shouyue and Su Dingfang, it was because she had turned over. Even Mei Niang's plans in the past two years had gone extremely smoothly... If I had known this, I really shouldn't have let her get married like that. That Pei Shouyu should stay with his family and Mei Niang no matter what!

Liuli had arrived at Wu Zetian's bedroom at this time and saluted her to say goodbye. Wu Zetian leaned on the couch lazily, thought for a while and said with a smile, "I can't keep you, but there are some things that I promised you, even if you give me People have taken the lead, so I can't just forget about it. Besides, your contribution in Wannian Palace should be known to others, so that it will be difficult for you and Pei to keep their promises. "

Liuli raised her head in surprise, not quite sure what she meant. Wu Zetian glanced at her with a smile, "You will understand tomorrow."

I was surfing the Internet at a relative's house in my hometown and found that my pink ticket was still ranked 16th.
