Chapter 263: Once in a lifetime

Seeing that Wu Zetian did not answer, Shangguan Wan'er winked at the palace maid beside her. The palace maid understood and tiptoed out of the hall to find the imperial doctor.

At this moment, Wu Zetian suddenly said, "No need."

Wu Zetian raised his eyes and said, "Oh, Wan'er is here, how about it, what do you say about Longmen Palace?"

Shangguan Wan'er said: "Concubine Wei said that she remembered His Majesty's teachings."

Wu Zetian had no expression on his face and said slowly: "It's strange, why are the people of the Li family fearing women like tigers? Li Xian, a child, can't even control a woman, how can they govern the world in the future? Forget it, this is his business. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I am already bored enough. Li Xian will be the emperor in the future. If he becomes the emperor, he will have no worries. If he really wants to be pinned down, don't those treacherous ministers rely on him to command the world? He has a lifetime of wealth, but it's a pity for Ling Yue."

Speaking of Li Lingyue, Wu Zetian felt more or less guilty.

The two marriages were indeed Wu Zetian for political considerations. The first time he married the Xue family was Wu Zetian to win over the Xue family. The Xue family had a high prestige in the army back then, and Wu Zetian wanted to seize power, not asking the Xue family to support him, but asking them to remain neutral. When he ascended the throne, the prestige of the Xue family became an obstacle to Wu Zetian. Therefore, Wu Zetian eliminated the Xue family and his daughter naturally became a widow.

It’s actually nothing to be a widow. After all, the atmosphere in this era is open and remarriage is even more common, so it’s okay.

But nothing can pass three. Previously, Wu Zetian wanted to marry Li Lingyue to the Wu family. In the end, he returned home in a bad mood. This matter was just a hot discussion. This time, marrying the Wei family was originally a good idea, and it was also considered to be the retreat that Wu Zetian paved for his daughter. Whoever knew that before the person passed, the Wei family had become a joke. The matter between Li Lingyue and Wei family had caused storms all over the city. There are various rumors that Li Lingyue and Qin Shaoyou's affair, most of them were not out of the past few days. Everyone secretly called Li Lingyue the nemesis and a demon woman. Whoever she wanted to marry would be in trouble.

If it were me, I might not be able to withstand the prejudices in this world, let alone my own daughter.

Thinking of this, Wu Zetian looked a little older. She was about to get up tremblingly, and the palace maids on both sides hurriedly supported her. She drove the people away and said angrily: "I'm not dead yet."

After getting up, she took a few steps and said worriedly: "The only thing I worry about is Ling Yue. She is different from others. She has no peace of mind. But she may not have the ability to be restless. She always has to give her a backer and cannot let herself go. She is looking for death now. Although she has not said that she is blaming me, but I know that she still blames me, Wan'er, what do you think?"

Shangguan Wan'er said: "Since the Wei family is not married, it is better to find another marriage."

Wu Zetian nodded, but seemed unsure: "After that being said, it is not a solution to seek death now. Besides, I am in a hurry to marry. I am afraid I will cause criticism again, but I have not had much time left. Wan'er, do you know?"

Shangguan Wan'er said: "There is a child from the Cui family. Although he is a son, he is still..."

Wu Zetian sneered: "The old fox Cui Xi will not be willing. Even if he wants to marry, he will not marry at the forefront of this storm."

As he was speaking, a female official came over quickly outside and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Highness, will swallow the gold."

After hearing this news, Wu Zetian was stunned and immediately said anxiously: "Have you stopped me? Hurry up, go to Ziwei Palace."

The group rushed to Ziwei Palace like the wind. On the way, they realized that Li Lingyue had cried for a while. Suddenly, she took out a piece of gold from somewhere and wanted to swallow it. Several eunuchs were quick-witted and quickly grabbed it. Li Lingyue was so angry that she fainted again.

The female officials, the palace maids and eunuchs in Ziwei Palace had already been in chaos. When Wu Zetian arrived, Li Lingyue happened to wake up quietly. Although she cried and made a fuss, her eyes were full of energy and she was just crying.

Wu Zetian had no choice but to comfort her and said, "It would be better not to marry the Wei family. All the people surnamed Wei are thieves and prostitutes, and... If anyone dares to talk nonsense, I will kill their heads. Ling Yue, don't make trouble. I will find you a better marriage, and it will never be worse than the Wei family."

Li Lingyue stopped making trouble and said, "Who is this time? Is the surname Xue or Wei?"

These words really stabbed Wu Zetian in the heart like a steel needle. She could only sigh quietly and said, "It's only three things, can I harm you?"

Wu Zetian was not sure about this when he said this. Who could still maintain wealth after his death? The five surnames and seven families are OK, but these people are all wealthy families that have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years. Even if you want to marry, they may not be willing to marry now. As for others, it is hard to say.

Wu Zetian was thinking about it, but she was anxious for a moment.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Qin Shaoyou was freely riding horses and leading Shangguan Chen around the city. The city had only begun to take shape, and many places had only laid a foundation. It was very simple. However, the city had not been built yet, but it was very lively. Shangguan Chen was Shangguan Wan'er's younger brother. This time he helped Qin Shaoyou. Now that he came to Mengjin to "play", Qin Shaoyou naturally deserves to do his best as a landlord.

Shangguan Chen is so delicate and tender that he is very similar to Shangguan Wan'er. He looks like a boy and a girl. He is wearing only a cloth dress and a long sword slanted around his waist. At first glance, it looks very simple, but in every move, he has a bit of the style of a noble family. He imitates the style of a famous scholar in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It is said that this set is very popular in Wannian County, which is as numerous as dogs. In Wannian County, the highest value is not a horse or a horse, but a horse that is blind or limping. Those young men and brothers are carrying an old servant, wearing a ragged cloth dress, and riding a horse, limping around to visit relatives and friends. The boys or old servants following behind are often either broken or ugly. Such people are often famous people and the most intimate.

Moreover, they don’t like reading, so they can only read a little bit of a single understanding at most. However, they must have a skill, and the cheaper the better. Cutting manure is more shocking. However, they have many excellent bamboo craftsmen or stone-making skills. When they arrive in Wannian County, if they encounter a beggar rushing to beg for you, you can’t shout at me. If you start driving people, you may not be sure that their father is the Secretary of the Six Ministry, and they may be a general if they are not good.

Shangguan Chen's "poisoning" was not serious. At least he did not wear a beggar's robe to find Qin Shaoyou. This made Qin Shaoyou feel a little thankful for his "brother-in-law"'s gratitude for not killing him. Of course, the brother-in-law is not up to date. Qin Shaoyou and Shangguan Wan'er didn't even know what was going on. Qin Shaoyou couldn't figure it out at first, but later he figured it out. The result of his understanding was that he didn't think about it.

He talked with Shangguan Chen. Shangguan Chen knew a lot of customs and customs along the way. Gradually, the two sides became familiar with each other. He was not as cautious as Shangguan Wan'er, so he directly asked Qin Shaoyou: "Captain Qin, I have something unknown. You are going to encourage the Wei family to get married, but why do you want to break this? Is this the Wei family offended you, or is it that Princess Taiping has any grudges with you?"

Qin Shaoyou couldn't hide it from him, and lowered his voice with a smile: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Shangguan Chen said in surprise: "What opportunity?"

Seeing that there were too many people, Qin Shaoyou smiled cautiously: "You will know that yes. When you come to Luoyang this time, your sister is afraid that you don't have time to visit you every day. Shangguan Kaizhao said that you are alone outside the palace, and she is not at ease. Let's stay in this Tiance Mansion in the future. She said that you have no intention of fame and fortune, so you can hold a free position in Tiance Mansion. Whether you want to travel or find something, I will always find a way to arrange it for you."

Shangguan Chen smiled and said, "To be honest, Wannian County is too boring, Luoyang and Chang'an are not good either, and they always have dusk energy. I like this place, but I have nothing to do, so I will worry about it."

Qin Shaoyou originally wanted to say, "What are we polite about our family?" Then he felt that this was strange. He was afraid that Shangguan Chen would not accept it after hearing it. So he looked straight and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say. I and you both fell into the same place. Regardless of Shangguan Kaizhao's explanation, it's natural to just talk about you and me."

He was about to ask Shangguan Chen about his specific plans, but a team of people rushed over. Chen Jie was the leader. Chen Jie hurried forward and said anxiously: "There is news in Luoyang, news is coming."

Qin Shaoyou asked: "What news?"

Chen Jie hurriedly said, "Your Highness Taiping is going to commit suicide!"

Huh... Qin Shaoyou's body was shocked and said suddenly: "Is the news true? When did you start committing suicide?"

This question is strange, but Chen Jie answered it smoothly: "One hour ago."

Qin Shaoyou's eyes lit up suddenly and he said, "Prepare horses, no no, no, no, no, no, no, I have a horse here, Chen Jie, take care of Mr. Shangguan, I will go to Luoyang Palace now."

After saying that, Qin Shaoyou hurriedly bowed to Shangguan Chen and said, "Young Master Shangguan, I will be back tomorrow. If you have any questions, let's talk about it. Today, I have important matters. Let's say goodbye first."
