Long live Emperor Wu!

Wu Rou nodded and said "Yes."

When Caiyi heard this, she looked very anxious. She looked at Wu Rou and whispered:

"But...according to the rules, a pregnant concubine does not have to get up early to pay her respects."

Wu Rou quickly stretched out her hand from under her cloak, held Cai Yi's arm, comforted her, and said it for the Queen to hear:
"What's the matter? At this time, the old priest said that I should move around more, and the Queen also helped me.

Besides, it is also my blessing that the empress is willing to reuse me. "

When Queen Wang heard this, she raised her eyebrows and smiled so much that her white teeth were exposed. She didn't know whether it was a mockery or something, and said:
"No wonder everyone likes you, you are so good at talking. But you'd better think so.

Because His Majesty cannot depose the Queen, and I am not stupid enough to allow him to find a reason to depose the Queen.

As long as I am the queen, you will all serve me as concubines. There is no benefit in offending me. "

Wu Rou responded:

"Look at what the empress said, it's too late for Wu Rou to thank the empress. Just watch me do what I do."

After the queen left with the guard of honor, Wu Rou raised her head and stood there waiting for a while, then supported Caiyi and walked to the harem.

During the Chinese New Year, the palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere. Even at night, it was much brighter than usual.

She was carefully followed by the maids serving behind her, supported by Caiyi, and walked step by step towards Zhaoqing Hall.

The palace is so big that walking around always wastes time.

I don’t know how long they walked, but Caiyi suddenly said:
"Empress, let's talk to Your Majesty later. It's obvious that the Empress sees that your body is heavy and is embarrassing you. There are so many things to look back on. How can a heavy person be so busy? What will happen if something happens again? "

Wu Rou stopped and seemed a little tired. She took two breaths and said with a smile:

"Don't be afraid. The folk peasant women are pregnant and still working in the fields. I, the second-grade Zhaoyi in the palace, can't be tired no matter how hard I work, but I just see more people.

When the time comes, just protect me carefully and don't let anyone collide with me. "

She paused, then said:
"Besides, this person is tired of doing things, but he is also the one who is really in charge. If you are watching from the sidelines and can't say anything, then you will be free, but won't you lose the right to be independent?"

After hearing this, Caiyi thought and said nothing. She had no knowledge, but when Wu Rou said this, she always felt that it made sense.

After a while, Wu Rou sighed again and said:

"I don't know why His Majesty left because of important matters. Let's go back and ask."

Caiyi said:

"I don't know. I'll send someone to find out later."

"No need to ask, he came over in the evening, I'll ask myself." Wu Rou's gentle voice was filled with comfort.

Upon hearing this, Caiyi helped her move her lips. Seeing her warm expression, she was embarrassed to disturb her, but in the end she reminded her loudly:

"Your Majesty, you have forgotten that today is the New Year. Your Majesty has to be with the Queen for the past three days."

When Wu Rou heard this, the smile on her face gradually stiffened. She lowered her head, looked at the ground, was silent for a long time, and then said:
"It's okay. If you don't see me at night, he will definitely come over during the day. It's the same if you see him during the day."

……

……

In the middle of the night of the first grade of junior high school, after the bustle of the first half of the night, it is always extremely quiet in the second half of the night.

Wu Rou was sleeping soundly in the darkness, and suddenly she felt Li Shan hugging her waist from behind, with his face touching her head.

The feeling of the two leaning against each other was so warm. She smiled subconsciously and reached out to touch his wrist.

Suddenly, she remembered that he shouldn't be here, so she woke up and turned her face slightly to look at him.

I saw the outline of his face in the darkness, and asked in a vague voice: "Jiulang, why are you here? Aren't you at the Ganlu Hall tonight?"

Li Shan hugged her with his eyes closed, and said in a tired and aggrieved voice:
"I really can't sleep, I miss you."

Wu Rou was still half asleep. She turned over and put her hand on his back, moving it along and asked:

"How many days is it?"

"It's still early. You can go to sleep and I'll hold you." Li Shan said dullly.

Wu Rou thought for a while, her mind became confused again, and soon she fell into the fragrance of dreams again.

When he woke up at dawn, Li Shan was still asleep, with his eyes closed, breathing shallowly, and a cyan shadow under his eyelashes.

The hair tie on his head was untied, his dark hair was messy and loose, and the end of the hair tie slipped from his shoulders to his face.

Wu Rou looked at him sleeping soundly, feeling full of love in her heart. She carefully stretched out her fingers, gently lifted back the hair tie on his face.

But even with such careful movements, he still woke up.

He first glanced at Wu Rou with foggy eyes, then reached out and took her hand in his, like a child, holding it under his chin and holding it.

Wu Rou smiled and asked:

"Why is Your Majesty unhappy?"

After a while, Li Shan said softly:

"Too many things make me unhappy...the loyal ministers in my father's hands began to degenerate and show their true colors one by one when they came into my hands.

I am an emperor who is incompetent and cannot be feared or respected.There was a mob rebellion in Muzhou. Changsun Wuji said in front of me that it was a trivial matter, and he also educated me that I was young and inexperienced...

My heart went cold.

If their father was still alive, they would have knelt down to apologize long ago for causing such a big mistake. "

Wu Rou heard this and asked:

"Your Majesty didn't know this before?"

"The governor of Yangzhou had issued a warning memorial, but they stopped it. The reasoning was ridiculous, and they said it was all for my own good. They were right. I was about to be pissed off by them."

As Li Shan spoke, his chest rose and fell.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said:
"Why did my father insist on letting me be the emperor at that time? He had a lot of talent in front of him, and he had a bunch of veteran ministers who were like human beings, and he was reluctant to give up. Who can handle it if he comes to power?"

Wu Rou gently pressed her other hand on the back of his hand and said:
"It must be your Majesty. Since Emperor Taizong passed the throne to you, I naturally believe that your Majesty can handle it.

Your Majesty can definitely find a way, but he just can't bear it. "

After hearing this, Li Shan slowly opened his eyes and stared blankly into the void, his eyes straight, not knowing what he was thinking.

Suddenly, he raised his elbows, raised his head, and said:

"I remember you told me before that you were familiar with Li Ji's daughter."

Wu Rou heard this and said quickly:
"Yes, she is a very good girl, but I don't know what is going on now. When we were bullied by my brother, I ran to Chang Shi's Mansion for help, and she wanted to help me, but... Li Ji said it was not good for him to be an outsider. If you intervene, nothing will happen.

I believe that if she could make the decision herself, she would definitely help me. "

Li Shan looked at her and said:
"After such a long period of observation, I found that Li Ji has a great advantage, that is, he is loyal to his duties and does not like to point fingers at me.

So from now on, we must try our best to win over Li Ji.

Although he used to be my Prince's Mansion Zhan Shi and Zuo Weili, but as you know, I don't like to be close to others and polite, and Li Ji is not that kind of person either, so he has always been acquainted... I will rely on you more in the future. "
