After being dressed as Wu Zetian's daughter, she was favored by the group

Chapter 15 Sitting on the Prince's Chair
Undeterred, Wu Zetian pulled out another copy of "The Doctrine of the Mean":
"The only thing that is sincere in the world is to be able to fulfill one's nature; to be able to fulfill one's nature is to be able to fulfill one's nature. From here, recite the next two paragraphs to me!"

Li Lingyue asked a little flatteringly: "Aniang, if I recite it, will there be a reward?"

"Reward you big head ghost!"

Empress Wu smiled and reproached, suddenly realized that she shouldn't be like this, and immediately put on a straight face, pretending to be stern: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and memorize!"

Although she has a straight face, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Empress Wu is not to mention how proud she is at this moment.

"Okay!" Li Lingyue nodded helplessly, took Empress Wu's proposition, and recited it:
"Only the sincerity in the world can realize its nature; if it can realize its nature, it can realize human nature; if it can realize human nature, it can realize the nature of things; if it can realize the nature of things, it can praise the cultivation of heaven and earth; If you praise the cultivation of heaven and earth, you can join with heaven and earth. Secondly, you can create music. Music can have sincerity. change……"

I don't know whether Wu Zetian deliberately made things difficult for her daughter, or used her daughter to show off in front of Master Song deliberately. After several questions in the exam, Li Lingyue answered all of them.

Wu Zetian's face could no longer collapse, she smiled like a flower, looked at Li Lingyue's eyes, full of doting, as if her daughter was the top student who passed the No. pride!

Li Lingyue even dared to conclude that if Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu were still alive, she would definitely show off in front of them as an old lady.

Parents have been like this since ancient times, Wu Zetian regained face, and beckoned to Li Lingyue dotingly.

"Why are you still standing there, sit here with my mother!"

Li Lingyue saw that Wu Zetian was sitting in the seat of the crown prince, she was the birth mother of the crown prince, and also the queen of the second sage, so she could sit comfortably.

But she is different. Her status is at most a princess, and she has not been formally conferred. According to the etiquette system, she cannot be overridden.

Li Lingyue immediately refused: "Aniang, that's the seat of the prince's elder brother, my daughter can't sit there!"

"Just sit with the maid, what are you afraid of!"

After Wu Zetian finished speaking softly to her daughter, she turned her head to look at Li Hong again, and asked in a cold voice:

"Prince! Tell me, can my sister sit in your seat?"

Since ancient times, the position of crown prince has been exclusively enjoyed by the crown prince.

No matter how you say it, Li Hong is also Li Zhi's designated successor, and his ceremonial guards are all arranged according to his status as the prince.

Although it is just an ordinary wooden bench placed in the Hongwen Hall, the identity of the representative is the future prince.

Li Hong was influenced by Confucianism since he was a child, and he was a staunch defender of the feudal ritual system.

Although he knew Empress Wu's intentions, the chair was only for the younger sister to sit on, and did not involve the succession of the throne, but from the behavior point of view, it was a violation of etiquette.

He not only wanted to maintain the etiquette, but he was also particularly afraid of Empress Wu, especially when he saw Empress Wu pressuring him, his back was drenched in horror.

When he was extremely entangled, Song Shijie couldn't sit still anymore, bent down and knelt down and said:
"Your Majesty, although the princess has a body of a thousand pieces of gold, how can she compare to the body of the prince's ten thousand pieces of gold? This is the prince's chair. The princess can't sit on it, please think twice!"

A sneer flashed from the corner of Wu Zetian's mouth, and he stepped forward to help Song Shijie up, and said in relief:

"What you said is very true, but as far as I am concerned, princesses and princes are all born for me. In my eyes, there is no distinction between high and low. Today, the prince has neglected his duty. As a mother, he should treat everyone equally. If he makes a mistake, he must stand. Yes, You have to sit down, sir, don't think too much!"

Song Shijie still wanted to speak, but the princes kneeling on the ground looked at the time and chose to stand on Empress Wu's side one after another.

Li Xian said loudly: "Mother, my son thinks that the younger sister is smart and studious, so she can sit down!"

"Yes, yes, sit wherever you want!" The third child, Li Xian, echoed.

"Yes, yes, you can sit wherever you want!" Li Dan, the fourth child, also joined in the fun.

"Shut up! Kneel down, I'm asking the prince!"

Wu Zetian scolded, the three princes were as quiet as a cicada, Song Shijie shook his head, and shut up too.

Seeing Empress Wu staring at him, Li Hong could no longer remain silent because of the strong sense of oppression, so he could only bite the bullet and stammer:
"Back... After going back to mother, Erchen felt... felt that this was... inappropriate!"

Just listen to "pop!"
As soon as Li Hong finished speaking, Wu Zetian picked up the book on the case and threw it at the prince!

Li Hong was so frightened that he quickly knelt down, buried his head on the ground, and begged for mercy:
"Please mother calm down!"

Song Shijie also got up quickly: "Please calm down, Madam!"

The three brothers who were kneeling in the third place also shouted in unison: "Please calm down, Queen Mother!"

For a moment, the atmosphere in Hongwen Hall, which was originally noisy, plummeted, no one dared to speak anymore, the hall became audible, and there was no sound!

In the entire Hongwen Hall, everyone drooped their heads, not daring to look up, let alone speak.

Only Li Lingyue looked at her mother quietly.

He thought to himself: "Could it be that the old lady hates the elder brother of the prince, so she wants to take the opportunity to suppress him?"

God, it won't come so fast!

Wu Zetian stood up and walked down the stage step by step, took Li Lingyue's hand, and in front of everyone, pushed her on the chair when she was distracted, without saving any face for the prince.

After Li Lingyue sat down, Wu Zetian said to the prince coldly:

"As a prince, you didn't urge your younger brothers to study well, and you indulged and concealed them everywhere, so that they neglected their studies. Today, I will punish you lightly. Ask yourself, what face do you have to sit in this high position? If you don't teach well Brother, go back to the East Palace as soon as possible!"

"My lord... My lord will always remember my mother's teachings!" Li Hong was full of grievances, and could only swallow it in his stomach, and bowed down again!

Beating the prince in public, and dissing her head and face, this is Wu Zetian, a woman who is too "rigid".

Li Lingyue sat on the bench with half of her buttocks, and it was quite uncomfortable to sit on.

She could see that it was not because Wu Zetian spoiled her so selfishly, but because she was using her to suppress the Eastern Palace forces behind the prince.

That is to say, Li Lingyue accidentally became a gun in Wu Zetian's hand. Although this gun can win Wu Zetian's love, it will somewhat cause some hatred in the struggle for imperial power.

Satisfied, Wu Zetian sat back on the main seat, put her arms around Li Lingyue and said to the other three brothers:

"Why are you still kneeling on the ground? If you don't go back and recite the memorization, anyone who can't memorize it today will be rewarded with thirty rulers!"

In a word, the three brothers' thoughts of taking chances disappeared.
The three of them were about to kowtow to accept their orders when Li Zhi's voice came from outside.

"Haha, Meiniang, I didn't expect you to be stomped by these brats just like me!"

While talking, Li Zhi walked into the hall, saw Empress Wu and Li Lingyue sitting on the crown prince's chair for the first time, the smile froze on his face, without asking why, he directly reprimanded Li Lingyue:
"Smelly girl, who asked you to sit in the position of the prince's brother, come down quickly!"

　Thank you "God Thirteen" for your unwavering support, and I will add more updates for you in the future.

　　Of course, there are also a lot of recommendation votes from "Flying the World", as well as the encouragement and support of "Little Nova" and "Love and Death".

　　Another: Special thanks to "Miao Xiaoyu's trumpet la la la" and "Deng Zi" for their rewards. I can't repay you. After returning from the pastoral area, I will add more!
