Chapter 218 Wan'er's counterattack!
The wine is the green ant wine brewed by Yue Feng. Princess Taiping and Yue Feng exchanged glasses and feasted, but they were drunk.
When she woke up, she had already returned to the princess's mansion. She was lying motionless on the bed, lying quietly. It was very quiet outside, and two maids could be heard vaguely whispering.
"Huayue, Your Highness is probably about to wake up. Why don't you go and call Butler Yao?"
"Shh, Butler Yao will come later! Your Highness has been in a bad mood recently, and the Queen is very concerned about it. Butler Yao has to enter the palace every day. Remember, you must keep your mouth shut. If the princess finds out about this, we will be done..."
Princess Taiping frowned slightly. If such a thing happened a day ago, she would have to fry the pot on the spot. In her eyes, how could she tolerate sand?
But today Princess Taiping has been reborn and completely transformed. A conversation with Yue Feng made her understand many things, and she seemed to have grown up overnight.
Yes, Princess Taiping found that since she was a child, she had never escaped the control of her mother's control. As long as it was the people and affairs of the princess's mansion, there would be no secrets on the mother's side. Yao Jun was loyal to Princess Taiping, but he was even more loyal to Wu Zetian.
As for the so-called Cuju masters invited by Taiping in the princess's mansion, these people can help Taiping win any battle, but when facing the inner guard Cuju army, they can only fail because their real master is not Taiping, but Wu Zetian.
Taiping always thought she could fight, but now she realized how innocent she thought before. She finally understood why there were obviously many people around her since Xue Shao's death, but she felt extremely lonely, because none of these people stood with her. She was surrounded by stars everywhere she went, but she was alone wherever she went.
Taiping was filled with thoughts, and Yue Feng's shadow appeared in his mind. At this moment, she felt that Yue Feng's existence was so precious. At least she knew very well in her heart that Yue Feng and she were already together...
A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but her heart gradually became cold. She had never thought before that she would pursue power, cultivate her confidants, and try to control everything like her mother.
But now she finally understood that a weak woman could never be free. Only by holding power and holding authority in her hands can she be qualified to get everything she wanted. Didn’t the queen come step by step?
Taiping had already made up his mind that she would completely change herself. From then on, she would no longer be a lamb at slaughter. She would make herself stronger...
After Wu Zetian approved the memorial in Guanfeng Hall, she was a little depressed. Xu Chihuang waited on the side and gently covered her with a brocade quilt.
"Hmm?" Wu Zetian was slightly shocked, suddenly opened his eyes, and Xu Chihuang said, "Goddess, you are too tired, you fell asleep just now!"
Wu Zetian raised her eyebrows and said, "Where is Wan'er? Why is she not here?"
Xu Chihuang said: "Goddess, Wan'er was tired just now. I guess she went down to rest! Let me serve you..."
"Oh..." Wu Zetian nodded softly. Just then, a person came in outside. Seeing that the man was wearing female official costumes, his face was beautiful and quiet. Who would he be if he were not Shangguan Wan'er?
Shangguan Wan'er slowly walked in and lowered her voice: "Queen Tian, Princess Taiping has entered the palace. I heard that you have been tired for several days and specially sent you black chicken soup, saying that it was cooked by yourself!"
Wu Zetian exclaimed in surprise, then overjoyed, and said, "Oh, this girl! What's going on today? Is it the sun coming out from the west? Hurry, hurry, let this girl come in for me!"
Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly asked the palace maids around her to go out to pass the message. After a while, Princess Taiping walked in with a basket of food. She saluted Wu Zetian and said:
"My mother, my daughter is unfilial. I have caused trouble for you these days! My daughter has been thinking about her mistakes at home these days, and gradually I understand your hard work. I feel extremely ashamed!
I heard Wan'er say that her mother is very busy today and has a lot of things to do, so I worry that your body can't bear it, so I can't help but cook a little soup for you to try.
Black chicken soup is still the skill of Yue Silang. In addition to the amazing Cuju, this guy's cooking skills are also amazing. It's really amazing. Mother, can you try this soup, but is it still suitable for your old appetite?"
Princess Taiping had not met Wu Zetian for two days, so she changed her body completely. Wu Zetian was both surprised and happy. She felt really sorry for Taiping. On the one hand, Taiping was raised by her and she had been close to her since childhood. More importantly, Tianping's temperament is quite similar to her. When Wu Zetian saw Taiping, she sometimes couldn't help but think of herself when she was young. Over time, her heart became increasingly inseparable from this girl.
Recently, she had a conflict with Taiping because of the prince-consort. She was tough and strong on the surface, but she was really worried about it. Now that she saw that Princess Taiping had figured out everything and thought it through thoroughly, how could she be unhappy?
Immediately said: "My mother likes things from Taiping no matter what! Hurry up, let's prepare a set of dishes and chopsticks, and we can share them!"
Wu Zetian was so happy that he wanted to share the soup given by Princess Taiping with others. He immediately said: "Wan'er, thank you for the past two days. Without you giving me the kind guidance, I would never understand the hard work of my mother no matter what!"
Wan'er frowned slightly and said, "Your Highness the Princess is so polite. Wan'er is the female official next to the Queen. Seeing the Queen worry about His Highness every day, Wan'er feels not feeling like she is! Your Highness the Princess is still very understanding, and the key is that she is extremely filial. Otherwise, she is really a stubborn person. No matter how much Wan'er says, it will be useless!"
Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment, laughed and said, "It turns out that everything is Wan'er's achievements. Oh! Wan'er is really my caring girl. I have blamed you for the past few days. I think you are lazy than before! It turns out that you are actually going to take care of Taiping for me. Hurry, hurry up, you have one too. Let's taste Taiping's craftsmanship together!"
I immediately shared a jar of chicken soup and ate it, but there were only Wu Zetian, Shangguan Wan'er and Taiping. Xu Chihuang stood aside, like a maid and slave, and had been completely ignored by Wu Zetian.
Xu Chihuang's face was extremely gloomy. She thought that Shangguan Wan'er had not done anything with Wu Zetian for so long, so Wu Zetian must have been alienated from him. Unexpectedly, Shangguan Wan'er had just returned and quickly reversed the unfavorable situation.
Wan'er has the merit of enlightening peace, what can Xu Chihuang compare with her? Wei Tuaner in the distance saw this scene and looked very disappointed. She and Xu Chihuang had a secret understanding, thinking of overturning Wan'er, and then the two of them replaced them. Unexpectedly, they caught Wan'er off guard now.
"Captain Xu, a group of girls from the inner guard were chattering outside, making the ministers of the Secretariat dizzy. Don't you go and take care of them?" Shangguan Wan'er said inadvertently.
Xu Chihuang hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Empress, I have surrendered!"
Xu Chihuang left and almost drank the chicken soup. Taiping spoke with Wu Zetian for a while, then stood up and said, "My mother, today you have a lot of things to do and have a lot of things, so my daughter won't disturb you! Take care of yourself and don't overwork and damage your body, as that would be too unworthy!"
Wu Zetian waved his hand and said, "Go, go! I will give you another yard, just by the Luoshui River, not far from Yue Silang's yard. Don't you like to go to that kid to eat and drink? I'm fulfilling your wishes now!"
Princess Taiping pretended to be overjoyed, and immediately knelt down to thank her. After receiving the reward, she left happily!
As soon as she left, the smile on Wu Zetian's face gradually faded away and she said, "Wan'er, I understand this girl Taiping. She has a stubborn mind. How did you convince her?"
Shangguan Wan'er said: "Queen, we have all ignored some things, that is, there has been a misunderstanding between the Queen and the princess and her son. Because of the misunderstanding, the princess really got angry and had a strong temperament. Isn't this a quarrel?
The Queen of Heaven doesn’t know that your original intention is to choose a suitable child among the children of the Wu family to compensate His Highness the Princess as his son-in-law. However, someone passed a message to His Highness the Princess, saying that the Queen of Heaven, you want to give Secretary Wu to the Princess as his son-in-law.
Queen, think about Xue Shao, whom His Highness cares most about in his heart, although this person is a rebel, after all, the two are husband and wife. Shangshu Wu personally captured Xue Shao, the other hand. It is said that Xue Shao and Shangshu Wu had a good time when they were young, and they were a pair of mortal enemies.
Your Highness the Princess can't accept this princess no matter what. If this rumor is spread, Your Highness can only do it on purpose, and it needs to insult her! Then, there is a quarrel..."
Shangguan Wan'er paused and said, "For the sake of Secretary Wu, Your Highness even fabricated various rumors to spread in the capital. Even Wan'er was involved in the rumors. If His Highness had not spoken to Wan'er on his own initiative yesterday, Wan'er would still be in the dark!"
Wu Zetian's face gradually became gloomy. She looked at Shangguan Wan'er with a squinted look and said, "The person who spreads rumors is punishable. Such people are traitors, how can I keep them?
Wan'er, do you know who this person is? Tell me, I will punish you severely!"
Shangguan Wan'er said: "Queen Tian, Wan'er has been in Cuju recently and has not served you. She has no idea about many things. His princess is tight-lipped, so Wan'er really doesn't know the cause and effect of the matter. Therefore, Wan'er really dares to talk nonsense, and she doesn't know at all. Please take it seriously..."
