Chapter 12 Hello, Wan'er

In the midsummer afternoon, the sun was tilted slightly, and the bright beams penetrated the lush woods, leaving mottled reflections on the ground.

After the rain, the sun shines, the Taiye Pond in Daming Palace is sparkling, the summer wind blows across the lake, ripples spread out layer by layer, shining golden halo under the sunshine!
A pretty girl, lying on her back on the lake, with water splashes in her arms, leisurely swims in the middle of the lake, her agile figure is like a fish swimming in curls.

"Princess! Come up quickly! Princess!"

On the shore of the lake, dozens of court ladies kept shouting, all of them looked terrified and fidgeted, for fear that something might happen to the people in the lake.

Several little father-in-laws stood tremblingly on a bamboo raft, and while propping up the long pole in a strange way, they also shouted: "His Royal Highness, please, go back quickly!!"

The girl didn't seem to hear it, and paddled the water on her own. She adopted a backstroke posture, with her pretty face facing the sky, like a leaf of duckweed, rippling lightly with the water waves.

In the sky, white clouds are blooming, and the azure blue is picturesque. Li Lingyue, who is in the deep palace, enjoys this rare and comfortable time of her own.

Now she has grown into a little girl.

I thought that when I grew up, I would be able to live the life of a princess without restraint. As a princess, since she started walking, she has been learning court etiquette, female morality, and embroidery hairpins from female officials.

In her opinion, these are the skills of a lady, and she really doesn't have the slightest interest in them.

A few days ago, when she returned from studying in the Hongwen Hall, when she passed Taiye Pond, she saw the murmur of the lake and the rippling blue waves, so she couldn't help taking off her coat and having fun like swimming in an underground lake.

After the first attempt, she became even more unscrupulous in the future, as long as she was free, she would plunge into the Taiye Pond!
In the Tang Dynasty, most men were not familiar with water, let alone women.

The huge Taiye pool has become Li Lingyue's exclusive swimming pool!
Wu Zetian was furious after hearing the news, and called her over to give her a severe reprimand.

Verbal reprimands didn't work at all, so Wu Zetian took the cane and wanted to impose family law.

Li Lingyue was still fearless, and instead argued to Wu Zetian that she did not swim for fun, but to plan for a rainy day, so that she could save herself if she was pushed into the water someday.

The implication is that she complained that Empress Wu had offended too many people, and she was afraid of retaliation.

Wu Zetian was immediately offended by her daughter, and Li Lingyue was about to be beaten, so she threw out another torture that has hit the human soul for thousands of years:

"Aniang, if you and Aye fell into the water at the same time, who do you think I will save first?"

This time, it aroused Empress Wu's curiosity. She had worked hard to raise her daughter. Of course, she hoped that her daughter would save herself first.

"Then tell me, who should you save first?" Wu Zetian asked.

But Li Lingyue said, "Don't worry, Ma'am, I won't save anyone when the time comes, and I'll watch you sink to the bottom from the shore. Don't worry, I will prepare the best coffin and hold a grand funeral for you!"

As soon as the words were finished, Li Lingyue was hit hard on the buttocks, and Li Lingyue cried with great aggrievedness: "Why did you still hit me, Aunt?"

Wu Zetian said angrily: "You white-eyed wolf, that's how you treat your mother!"

Li Lingyue retorted: "My mother is wronged. If I can swim, I will save you first, but now you don't let me swim, how can I save you? I can't let the three of us sink into the lake. I have to live to take care of your funeral. , This is what a filial daughter does, what Cui Daizhao taught me, if you don’t believe me, ask her!”

"Bah, bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Wu Zetian knew that she was beating around the bush to make excuses, but when she got the answer she wanted, she felt a lot better, and after hitting her twice casually, she stopped punishing her.

From then on, Wu Zetian didn't allow Li Lingyue's absurd behavior of playing with water, but she didn't punish her severely. She just sent additional guards who knew water skills to secretly protect her.

Mothers can turn a blind eye and close one eye, but servants can't. If something happens to the princess, they will not be able to forgive the sin, so every time the princess goes into the water, the maids and eunuchs are all terrified , try to prevent it.

The scene of Li Lingyue swimming made the Taiye Pool very lively. All the palace ladies and eunuchs passing by would stop and look at the center of the lake, pointing and discussing.

On the trail by the lake, a pair of mother and daughter dressed as court ladies, holding a tray full of brocade in their hands, followed behind a father-in-law. The mother and daughter were going to deliver brocade to concubines in the harem.

The woman has a dignified manner, a beautiful face, and a very polite manner. At first glance, she doesn't look like an ordinary court lady, but more like a woman from a wealthy family.

Walking behind her was her daughter, the little girl inherited the woman's beauty, and at a young age, she was slim, petite and lovely.

She was wearing a small tailored palace dress, and a wooden hairpin was pinned to the bun on her head. Although she was dressed plainly, it was difficult to conceal her graceful and graceful temperament.

She seemed to be going out for the first time. She looked around with a pair of beautiful eyes, and felt that everything she saw was novel. She glanced around, and finally her eyes fell on Li Lingyue in the lake, and she suddenly cried out in shock:

"Mother, look quickly, there is a woman swimming in the lake, my God! How can she show people like this!"

"Bold!"

The father-in-law who was walking in front turned around, shook off the dust in his hand, pointed at the little girl and blamed:

"That's the princess of the dynasty. What is your status? How can you talk about the princess behind your back? Don't you want to live?"

The woman hurriedly bowed her body to apologize for her daughter: "Father-in-law, forgive me, my little girl went out for the first time, and she lost her manners with her childish words. Please don't blame me, father-in-law!"

The father-in-law snorted arrogantly, ignored the mother and daughter, and continued walking forward.

"It turns out that she is a princess. She seems to be as old as me, but she can know the nature of water. She is amazing!"

While muttering, the little girl looked at Li Lingyue in the lake from time to time, her eyes full of doubts, curiosity, and admiration.

Maybe he was a little fascinated by watching it, and with a "boom", he didn't pay attention to the front for a while, and bumped into the woman's back, almost knocking the tray in his hand to the ground.

The woman turned her head, Emei frowned, and reprimanded severely in a low voice:
"Wan'er, if you continue to be so reckless, mother won't take you out!"

Mother Zheng's words made the little girl's face change slightly in fright, and she bowed to salute with the tray in her hand, and said obediently:
"Mother, Wan'er knows she's wrong!"

When Mrs. Zheng turned her head away, the little girl lowered her head obediently, not daring to look any further.

But as I walked, there was silence around my ears. The maids who had been shouting all lost their voices. The little girl's curiosity was aroused again, and she couldn't help but look towards the lake again. At this time, the lake was calm and calm. Li Lingyue was gone.

"Strange, it was still there just now, did it sink?"

Just as he was thinking, his feet tripped again and hit his mother again...

'Crap!Crap!When I go back, I have to suffer from the cane again! 'The little girl was in despair!
