Lishan, Huaqing Palace, Nine Dragon Palace.

Empress Wu sat behind the imperial case, and her thoughts did not belong.

The play scene of Dingfeng Yuan yesterday is vivid, which makes her reminisce again and again, and it is unforgettable.

"Quan Ce has already set off, right?" Empress Wu asked coldly.

Xu Hui was in the Shendu, Shangguan Wan'er was not there, and the palace maid who was waiting beside her knelt down tremblingly, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Quan will leave early in the morning."

Seeing her frightened appearance, Empress Wu was very bored, got up and walked around, and was greeted by a sudden cold wind, which made her hair and robes flutter.

"Before you know it, it's winter again"

Walking forward, climbing down the steps, the giant stone carvings in the square are still there, the image of Xihe, from rough and bold, has become a rich god like jade, and the clothes are also much more complete, at least the clothes and pants are complete, and it is pleasing to the eye.

"I don't know, will Taiping give birth to a little Langjun or a little lady?"

Empress Wu muttered to herself, paced to the solemn sun god of Baoxiang, and wrinkled her nose, "If you are so rigid and boring, you are a supreme god, and you will live with heaven and earth, what does it mean?" ”

Blowing the cold wind, circling the Nine Dragons Hall for a long time, looking at the spectacular six dragons returning to the sun in the past, today in the eyes, indescribably cramped, the little family is angry.

He frowned and couldn't help but smile.

Yesterday I saw the glazed building of Dingfeng Yuan, six sides and six floors, in addition to the frame load-bearing, with civil engineering and masonry, all of them are made of glazed inlay, with the building as the center, the pavilions and platforms are scattered, stretching for dozens of miles, mixed with well-tended meadows, deep forests and gardens, planting rare and exotic grasses all over, it is said that birds and beasts will be put in the deep forest.

The magnificence of the spirit far exceeds that of the Royal Hunting Forbidden Garden.

In addition, there is also the Lingding Ocean between Bashui and Gongchuan, and it is also necessary to build houses and manors according to the topography, build flying bridges, and connect the dotted islands into a piece.

The water and clouds reflect each other, the snow is in the sky, the flowers and plants are swaggering, the cranes are soaring, and the glass is shining, almost a fairyland.

The construction cost of these two places is amazing, and the treasury of Princess Yiyang's mansion is generally spilled out, but fortunately, the bottom of the family is thick, so it can withstand the toss.

Thinking of this, Empress Wu's eyes flashed a little confused, yesterday she wanted to reward the property to Princess Yiyang's mansion to help Quan Ce subsidize the subsidy, but unexpectedly Quan Ce refused, his reason was to build a house for his daughter, and it should be his father's money, but she always felt that Quan Ce was a little insincere.

"Come on, send an order to the general to be a prisoner, dismantle these six dragons, and replace them with a big one, which will be more powerful"

The Empress Wu was inexplicably angry, so she vented on the return of the six dragons to the sun, Xihe and the sun god were fine, and the six dragons crawled around in a mess, making a panic.

A palace maid had already gone to the order, and the mood of the Empress Wu had already deteriorated, so she no longer returned to the Nine Dragons Palace, and walked aimlessly along the tortuous white marble corridor.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Whew......"

With a rapid gasping sound, Shangguan Wan'er trotted over, her sideburns chaotic.

"Wan'er, you are becoming more and more unruly" Empress Wu raised her eyebrows and scolded coldly.

Shangguan Wan'er forcibly calmed her breath and bowed down on her knees, "Your Majesty forgives her sins, Wan'er is out of order"

"Say, what's the alarm?" Empress Wu waved the sleeves of her robe.

Holding three copies of the note, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Taisun, General Wu Chongcheng of the Left Guard, and His Royal Highness the Prime Minister of Anguo have a note on the submission"

Empress Wu frowned, wondering how these three people could be related, "These three people ...... What do you mean? ”

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Grand Sun and His Royal Highness the Prime Minister, all ask Your Majesty for marriage...... All I asked for was King Ding's niece, Wu Luoheng's wife...... Wu Chongcheng, the general of the Left Guard, is the brother of Luoheng Niangzi, and Shang Song Shu agrees with the request of His Royal Highness Taisun"

Shangguan Wan'er spoke intermittently, as if she was waiting for Empress Wu to ask, but Empress Wu just listened with a smile, and she had no intention of asking, so she had to say it one by one.

Empress Wu was silent, her eyes looked directly at Shangguan Wan'er, the winter wind was tight, and the clothes of the two of them were hunting.

"Wu Luoheng? Troubled water, no wonder Quan Ce didn't see her" Empress Wu said abruptly, but the topic was thousands of miles away.

Quan Ce unusually didn't see Wu Luoheng, and hastily banished her back to Luoyang, the divine capital, which has always been a heart problem of the Empress Wu, and now it suddenly became clear, in her mind, it should be the princess of Qianjin or Quan Ce's subordinates who have seen Wu Luoheng by her side, in order to avoid Quan Ce's addiction to women, she managed to isolate the two.

This suspicion opened, the martial queen's mood was opened, and her body was a lot lighter, "I don't know what kind of natural beauty and national color this Luoheng lady was born in?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er was shocked, smacked her tongue, and didn't know how to phrase it for a while.

However, after a while, Empress Wu came back to her senses, and her eyes were fixed on her again, "Wan'er, when did these three pieces of music come?" ”

One question hits the bull's-eye.

Shangguan Wan'er did not hesitate, and replied calmly, "His Royal Highness Taisun played the earliest, five days ago, followed by Wu Chongcheng, and two days ago, His Royal Highness King Xiang only arrived today."

"Then why, they were sent together?" Empress Wu asked intently.

Shangguan Wan'er did not dodge or dodge, and said calmly, "His Royal Highness Taisun and Wu Chongcheng's recital came up, and the concubine was delayed for something, and then His Majesty went to Dingfeng Yuan to play, and it was delayed for another day......"

This is talking nonsense with your eyes open.

Empress Wu was laughed at by her, "Can I believe what you say?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er knelt down again and bowed her head to confess.

Empress Wu sighed, "Get up, you are following my mind and helping Li Dan, no wonder you"

"Both of these people are asking to marry Wu Luoheng, in your opinion, who is out of calculation, and who is out of their own hearts?"

Shangguan Wan'er pondered for a moment, and said very skillfully, "Your Majesty, Taisun and King Xiang have both seen Wu Luoheng, and Taisun is the first, but then he invited Wu Chongcheng, it is difficult to say that the intention is simple......"

The implication is that he still supports Li Dan.

In the heart of the Empress Wu, she is naturally biased towards Li Dan, but Li Chongjun asked to marry first, and he got the support of the woman's brother, I am afraid that it has already spread in the court, Li Dan not only came late, but also has a grade difference, and there is a risk of rebellion.

Empress Wu just thought about it superficially, then felt a splitting headache, knocked on her forehead, opened her mouth, and wanted to summon Quan Ce into the palace to discuss, but suddenly remembered that Quan Ce had gone to Qingyao Mountain to accompany Princess Taiping to give birth.

"This matter, put it aside for a while, and ...... to slow down the discussion, "Wan'er, you are in charge of the internal service province, and you have to assist in the government affairs, and you have to take care of the government, it is too hard, when Xu Hui comes back in the future, let her take charge of the general affairs department, and share one or two for you"

"Yes, Your Majesty Xie is sympathetic" Shangguan Wan'er has no joy or sorrow, she has been in power alone for a long time, and to this day, no matter how many people are placed by the Empress Wu, it will not shake her status, nor can it change the result.

The two of them blew the cold wind together for a long time and returned to the Nine Dragons Palace.

"Your Majesty, sent a secret letter from Shendu"

Empress Wu took a look at it, and couldn't help shaking her head and smiling bitterly, Xu Hui went one step further and wanted to add Wu Luoheng to Li Dan's selection of concubines.

"Loyalty, you are faithful, and it is too embarrassing for me"

Empress Wu's tone was obviously relaxed, Shangguan Wan'er and Xu Hui made a choice in favor of Li Dan at the same time, which was naturally not the same thing as Shangguan Wan'er abolishing the public for personal reasons.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins" Shangguan Wan'er didn't say much, just confessed.

Xu Hui made this move, obviously unknowingly, and was misled and used by Wu Chongmin.

Empress Wu sighed lightly, feeling physically and mentally exhausted and tired, and went into the inner room to rest.
