After reading Sha Zha's loyalty, Empress Wu was quite relieved, her plump face was covered with a smile, and she couldn't see the slightest fold, and she didn't look like an old man in his fifties.
As the saying goes, "people are in good spirits when they are happy", Empress Wu interpreted this old saying well, radiant and energetic, and even infected all the people in the Wucheng Palace, whether it was Shangguan Wan'er, or the palace attendants and female guards who were waiting on the side, all of them were full of smiling faces and happy together.
Relative to them, the Empress Wu is high in the sky, and her words and deeds, laughter and scolding dominate their emotions.
In fact, in addition to a Shangguan Wan'er, the people in the Wucheng Palace, the girls who were the plum blossom guards of the martial guards, and the day when they got through the clouds to see the sunrise, they were rewarded by the Empress Wu to get out of the palace to marry and have children, and live that ordinary life.
As the most humble group of people in the palace, they can't even be called "people", they can only suffer day and night in the nine-fold deep palace, and when they are old and frail and unbearable, they will be driven out of the palace to fend for themselves They are kept in cages, but they are not birds, and they are not entitled to make their masters smile with their beautiful feathers and melodious singing voices, and thus reward them with some delicacies.
They are just local chickens kept in cages, envying the birds flying freely in the sky every day, and when they finally get out of their cages one day, their lives have come to an end.
And it is not easy to wait until you are old and decrepit to walk out of the Nine Layers Deep Palace and take a look at the world outside the palace.
In decades of cage life, you have to be always vigilant and careful to avoid being dumped and framed by other "local chickens", and you have to find ways to satisfy your master.
It's not easy for anyone to live, Gong'e has Gong'e's troubles, the inner servant has the sadness of the inner servant, and Shangguan Wan'er, who seems to be extremely beautiful, also has her dissatisfaction Empress Wu put down Shazha's loyalty and concert, and then picked up the seal on Wu Sansi's concert, and took out the copy of the concerto and looked at it.
Wu Sansi wrote in the recital that after receiving the will of the Queen of Heaven, he immediately convened the final generals to discuss it, and the Black Tooth Changzhi sent a light horse to attack a thousand miles and applauded loudly, and took the initiative to ask for help.
It's just that there was a small accident at this time, that is, Master Huaiyi, the abbot of the White Horse Temple, was also moved, and he actually wanted to grab this task, or he struggled to talk badly, and even pressed with the authority of the boss, so that Master Huaiyi reluctantly gave up.
Empress Wu couldn't help frowning, and said secretly in her heart: "This reckless monk who doesn't know the importance of it, it's a war, it's a real fight with the Turks, you think it's a hunting in the Shendu?"
The reason why Monk Xue is so nonsense and treats military affairs like child's play is nothing more than relying on her favor.
Xue Huaiyi was originally a rough man who was a street performer, accustomed to being free and easy, and never liked restraint.
Although she has been favored and trusted over the years, she has been able to enjoy glory and wealth, but in the end, she was born in the rivers and lakes, and she was bored in the White Horse Temple, and she always wanted to go out to breathe.
This time, Wu Sansi sent troops to Yunzhou, and the Empress Wu asked Xue Huaiyi to accompany him, firstly, to let him scatter, and secondly, to give him a chance to earn credit, so as to give him a knighthood on this ground, compensate him, and not in vain his hard work over the years.
The number of times Empress Wu recruited Xue Huaiyi into the palace to sleep in the palace over the years has become less and less, and the last time seems to be a long time ago, and Empress Wu has no impression at all.
It's not because she's getting older, so she's diluted the joy of the bed, in the final analysis, it's her heart that has changed, and her taste has changed.
Although Monk Xue is strong and strong, he is also talented in that aspect, his capital is quite thick, and his combat effectiveness is amazing, he is good at fighting a protracted war, coupled with diligent practice of marksmanship, supplemented by various carving insect skills, he will serve the Empress Wu so much that he can't wait to die immediately, and he will be together with the enemy, and he will never be separated.
However, the Empress Wu is no longer the Empress Wu of the past, her status has changed, her authority is getting heavier, and she is about to take the last step, open up a new dynasty, and be the first female emperor in the ages.
The so-called shift of time, the nature of people has always been like this, and now the status of the Empress Wu has changed, and her vision has also changed.
If in the past, Empress Wu saw Chang'an and Shendu, then now, what she sees in her eyes is the entire Tang Dynasty and even the whole world.
People's horizons have changed, and the taste has also changed, in the past, there was a lot of millet buns, and there was a Hu cake for the New Year, but now it is rich and expensive, even if it is a meal of meat, there are also greasy times, and it is always good to think about changing the side dishes.
Xue Huaiyi has a big problem, that is, vulgarity, although he can have a hearty battle with him, he always lacks warmth and tenderness.
Therefore, Empress Wu is also indifferent to Xue Huaiyi today, and it is no longer like seeing each other every three autumns.
And she fell in love with a doctor from the Taiyi Bureau, who was nearly forty years old and had a long figure, although he was not as brave as Monk Xue in that regard, but he had more elegance.
Of course, this imperial doctor will not be the last, her goal is to read all the strange men in the world, and with her status today, it seems that it is not difficult to do.
Empress Wu closed Wu Sansi's recital, her heart was a little restless, and a flush appeared on her face unconsciously, and she couldn't wait to immediately summon the imperial doctor to the palace and give her a good "examination and treatment".
However, instead of getting up, she shook her head slightly, forcibly soothing her restless heart.
She wants to be the first female emperor in the ages, so she can leave the government and do the daytime prostitution.
Shangguan Wan'er picked out the three pieces of the music, and the Empress Wu read them all and gave them a review.
Although the rest of the chapters were all inconsequential trivialities, there was no need for Empress Wu to look at them, but Shangguan Wan'er still chose the main points to make it clear to Empress Wu.
Empress Wu closed her eyes slightly, listening to Shangguan Wan'er's dictation, sometimes bowing her head, sometimes frowning, but she didn't say a word from beginning to end, it seemed that Shangguan Wan'er's disposition was quite in line with her thoughts.
After Shangguan Wan'er finished speaking, Empress Wu opened her phoenix eyes, nodded and chuckled: "Wan'er is becoming more and more sophisticated, these pieces are handled very well, so let's do it, you haven't been out of the palace for many days, and tomorrow I will grant you a day off and go home to meet your mother."
This person, when he is old, he doesn't care about food, clothing, etc., he thinks that his children are dangling in front of him all day long, and he is happy when he looks at them.
Taiping, this girl is still staying in Longmen, this child, why don't you understand the hard work of being a mother?"
Wan'er was quite surprised, she didn't expect that Empress Wu would take the initiative to grant leave and let her go home to serve her mother. couldn't help but have a sour nose, and sincerely thanked Empress Wu for his great kindness, but he automatically ignored Empress Wu's later words.
The matter between this mother and daughter is not something that outsiders can mix:
