When the reward order was sent back again, Shangguan Wan'er also had to leave.

Before leaving, Shangguan Wan'er said to Xue Shao that he should wait in Shuozhou with peace of mind. The return of the Northern Expeditionary Army will have a special significance.

Xue Shao understood what she meant, the empress's founding ceremony, how could it be without the army's catwalk? - Okay, then wait!

So Xue Shao began a boring wait. In fact, he, like every soldier in the army, was desperate to go home soon. More than a year of blood, fire, rivers and mountains have come over, and I don't feel that life is so difficult as now.

In order to pass these boring blank hours, Xue Shao threw himself into a vigorous mass sports - playing football!

Xue Shao's body already has quite solid basic football skills. Fancy tiptoe was one of Lantian Gongzi's housekeeping skills, but he helped him coax a lot of beauties, and even Princess Taiping was once poisoned. In addition, the current set of 11-player football game rules are all initiated and customized by him, and it is naturally smooth to play.

The officers and soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army were fascinated, but they didn't expect that Young Marshal Xue, who was domineering and powerful on the battlefield, was also so devastating and invincible on the court.

Xue Shao was finally not so boring. But he has never missed Princess Taiping like he does now. Sometimes he couldn't help but scold himself for being a pervert who had no discipline, and Shangguan Wan'er began to miss Princess Taiping as soon as she left. But what's the solution?

Missing this thing is engraved in the bone marrow at all, and it is not up to anyone at all.

At the same time, Luoyang is very busy. From Wu Zetian to ordinary civilians, everyone is busy.

Changing the dynasty, this is not Wu Zetian's business alone.

Large mass petition rallies have been held several times in recent months. The core content of the petition is that the people ask Wu Zetian to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Initially, it was only a few hundred idle people who joined the petition. Wu Zetian politely refused their request, but kindly asked them to go back, and the initiator of the petition received a large reward. Although it was a refusal, Wu Zetian's warm attitude gave people more courage and motivation to launch a series of petition activities. Moreover, the number of people participating in the petition is increasing every time, and the momentum is increasing every time. Up to now, not only the idle people, but also monks, Taoists, and officials of the imperial court have also participated.

Some people say that these petition activities were planned and promoted by Wu Chengsi behind the scenes, and there was even Wu Zetian's instruction and participation. But these truths are no longer important in today's situation. The reality is that if Wu Zetian does not ascend the throne again, it seems that he is going against the sky in disregard of public opinion.

Shangguan Wan'er rushed back to the palace one afternoon. The wind and dust were simple and fragrant, and he was drenched in sweat, so he hurried to meet Wu Zetian before he could change his clothes and freshen up.

Wu Zetian is trying on a new set of clothes. There were only three people around her, Princess Taiping, Wu Chenghei and Huayang's Lady Kudi.

Wu Zetian was in a particularly good mood today, because the new set of clothes she was trying on was the one she would only wear when she ascended the throne - the imperial robe and crown.

Shangguan Wan'er asked to see her outside the door, Wu Zetian's expression froze slightly, and then she smiled, "It's just the right time to come back." ”

Princess Taiping was already busy stepping forward and opened the door, "Wan'er, how is it?" ”

Her "how" can be regarded as a general and eager question, Shangguan Wan'er didn't know how to answer for a while, so she had to answer in the same general terms, "Very good." ”

Princess Taiping smiled and grabbed her wrist with one hand, "Come in and enjoy the crown of the God Emperor!" ”

Wu Zetian has not yet officially ascended the throne, but he already has the honorific title of "Holy Mother God Emperor", and he calls himself I.

Shangguan Wan'er walked in a few steps, and fell to her knees, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Wu Zetian laughed, "Wan'er's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter!" It's not time yet, so get flat! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shangguan Wan'er stood up, respectfully held the scroll of award orders with both hands, and said, "Wan'er is incompetent, and she has not achieved her mission until today. Please forgive your sins! ”

A meaningful smile appeared on Wu Zetian's face. She stretched out her hand and held the scroll of Lingwen in her hand, and said, "Wan'er, you have made great contributions. I will not forget you! ”

"I am willing to go to the soup for Your Majesty, and I will never give up!" Shangguan Wan'er knelt on the ground again.

"Good." Wu Zetian nodded with satisfaction, "Mrs. Huayang, you take Wan'er down to rest!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The two exited the dormitory together, and walked silently towards the inner court together. Shangguan Wan'er knew very well in her heart where the Kudi clan was going to take her to "rest". She didn't say a word, but Kudi spoke first, "Wan'er, do you want to care?" ”

There was no one around, and Kudi's voice was low.

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head with a smile, "It's okay." ”

Kudi looked stunned, "Wouldn't it? ”

"It really doesn't hurt." Shangguan Wan'er said indifferently, "Just ask Madame, take Wan'er to see Tongshi!" ”

Kudi blinked incredulously, "Heroic beauty, dry wood and fire, can you actually hold it?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er still smiled faintly and said, "Wan'er is loyal, and the sun and the moon can be seen." The Horse Weapon Bureau, not more than idle. ”

"That's the best." Kudi sighed, smiled, and whispered, "I've always sweated for you, so it's okay now!" - Let's go, everyone can rest assured that we will be done sooner! ”

In the dormitory, Wu Zetian unfolded the scroll and slowly looked through it, Princess Taiping and Wu Chengsi sat upright, very quiet.

"Not a word has changed." Wu Zetian put down the scroll and smiled slightly, "Taiping, your Xue Lang is coming back." ”

Princess Taiping smiled, "God Emperor, your founding father is about to return to the court. ”

Wu Zetian smiled, and sighed again, "Can't you one day not be angry with your mother?" ”

"The Divine Emperor is Mingjian, and the sons are not angry." Princess Taiping replied, "He is both my Xue Lang and your founding father. In his heart, Erchen was actually happy. ”

"Okay, okay!" Wu Zetian was in a good mood today, so he was smiling and said, "Shangguan Wan'er's errand is quite beautiful. I plan to cut off her imperial concubine name first, and then marry her to Xue Lang as a concubine. Taiping, what do you think? ”

Princess Taiping smiled faintly and said, "God Emperor, this matter has been mentioned a few years ago. Now that the old thing is brought up again, it doesn't seem to make much sense, right? ”

"So, you're against it?" Wu Zetian was not in a tone of reproach, he was very gentle.

"Erchen has no objection. However, Erchen will not praise lightly. Princess Taiping said, "Erchen thinks that this is not only a gift from the God Emperor, but also a family affair of Erchen. If he could ask Xue Lang's opinion before making a decision, Erchen felt that this seemed to be more appropriate. ”

"Yo?" Wu Zetian smiled, "I heard that your new mansion will be named after Xue Shao's title. So, he's really the head of the family? ”

Princess Taiping smiled slightly and said, "That's probably what Erchen thinks. ”

"Taiping, I have told you more than once that your and Xue Lang's family affairs are actually a national affair." Wu Zetian said, "No matter how Xue Lang achieves his current official status, the master-slave relationship between the princess and the concubine cannot be changed. Because this is related to the country's rules and regulations and the etiquette of the royal family, it is not a child's play. ”

Princess Taiping replied calmly: "Divine Emperor Mingjian, Xue Lang is going to marry Xuan Yunzi as his wife, which has created a precedent for rules and etiquette. It's not like that, let them live in Princess Taiping's Mansion together after they get married, right? That's why Erchen decided that the new mansion would be named after Xue Lang's official title. The old Taiping Princess Mansion will also be preserved. ”

"But I ignored it!" Wu Zetian's expression froze slightly, "Then again, now that it's at this juncture, where are the Xuanyunzi people?" ”

Princess Taiping shook her head, "Erchen doesn't know." ”

Wu Chengsi sat aside, but he didn't say anything anyway.

Wu Zetian looked at Wu Chenghei, "The marriage between Xue Shao and Xuan Yunzi is not only a national event but also a major event of the martial family. As the head of the martial family, why don't you say a word? ”

"Nephew......" Wu Chenghe's eyes slipped for a while, and he hurriedly arched his hand, "The nephew is trying to find a way to find Xuanyunzi!" ”

"What did you do earlier? Don't you have to come and do everything yourself? Wu Zetian reprimanded, and immediately raised his voice again, "Hurry up!" ”

"Yes, my nephew will definitely hurry up and do it!" Wu Chengsi hurriedly agreed.

"Why don't you step down first!" Wu Zetian seemed to be a little impatient, "I and Taiping, I still have some private things to say." ”

What else could Wu Chengsi say, so he had to retreat.

"Hey!" Wu Zetian sighed and shook his head again.

Princess Taiping smiled but did not say a word.

"Your man is coming back. Just smile proudly! This time, Wu Zetian was a little angry, and said, "Wei Niang has been facing you with a cold face for a year, and she is finally going to get through it." ”

Princess Taiping walked to Wu Zetian's side with a smile, gently pinched her shoulder, and said softly: "Mother, your loyal founding father and good son-in-law who has won all battles are coming back, aren't you happy?" ”

"You're all happy, do you dare not be happy for your mother?" Wu Zetian spread his hands as if he was a little angry, "Looking at the world, only you are bold enough to show me a look - oh no, your man is not good at stubble, he is more courageous than you!" ”

"Where is it?" Princess Taiping snorted and said, "You see that he has been wandering outside for a year, and he hasn't come back obediently?" By the way, he also beat the Turks to cry and shout that their mother abandoned the capital, picked up their tails and fled to Mobei. The thousands of miles of rivers and mountains he recovered, aren't they all yours the God Emperor? The history of future generations will be written like this, Our Lady God Emperor is wise and martial, and the world is a barbarian kneeling. This will be the glory of the Emperor of God, and the great glory of our sons and daughters and courtiers! ”

For the Holy Lord, the merit of the courtiers is the merit of the king, and of course such a simple truth does not need to be taught to Wu Zetian by Princess Taiping in turn. So Wu Zetian laughed, haha.

"However, he is quite willful and disobedient!" Princess Taiping gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "When he returns home, I will clean him up!" ”

"Are you willing?"

"Mother, this is not a matter of reluctance!" Princess Taiping shouted anxiously, "I am a princess and he is a colt, I have to discipline him!" Otherwise, if he does it next time, who can stand it? ”

"Forget it, don't be stubborn!" Wu Zetian said with a smile, "In the past few years since you got married, it is clear that he has been disciplining you. See what you've become now? The girl is outgoing, and for his sake, you did not hesitate to fight against her mother for more than a year. You unfilial daughter, have you ever been convicted? ”

Princess Taiping chuckled, "Mother, Erchen knows his mistake, Erchen confesses." You can forgive me, an ignorant stupid daughter! ”

"You're the mother of three children, and you're still not sensible?" Wu Zetian shook his head, really a little crying and laughing.

"I'm just a grandmother, and I'm still your daughter!" Princess Taiping smiled and said, "Don't be angry with your daughter, otherwise you will have wrinkles!" ”

Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows, "This kind of strange words, did you learn it from Xue Shao?" ”

"Hey, hey!" Princess Taiping has a strong massage.

"Don't learn well!" Wu Zetian shook his head again and smiled bitterly, "What kind of sin did I make, I gave birth to such a frequent daughter as you, and I married another even more frequented man!" ”

The mother and daughter have not had such a pleasant and harmonious chat for more than a year.

While they were having a good conversation, Kudi pushed the door and entered. Wu Zetian looked at her, and she nodded with a smile.

A strange smile appeared on Wu Zetian's face. She patted the massaging hand on her shoulder and said, "You can rest assured." Shangguan Wan'er, I won't grab a pillow with you. ”
