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

Chapter 22 Taiping and Wan'er

The summer wind blows through the gazebo, and the delicate and charming mandarin duck jasmine and hosta flowers sway with the wind, and the air is filled with the refreshing fragrance of flowers.

Inside the pavilion, two little girls stood facing each other, with their hands behind their backs, one twisted a food box in one hand, and the other held a book. They were relatively silent, just staring at each other.

Li Lingyue's eyes are bright, and she has the heart of an adult, so she naturally takes the initiative.

The way she looked at Shangguan Wan'er was like a big bad wolf looking at a little white rabbit, mixed with a sense of aggression.

Shangguan Wan'er's neck was flushed red, and she turned her head away, no longer looking at Li Lingyue, and whispered in a weak mosquito voice:

"If you don't tell me, how can I guess?"

Li Lingyue secretly exclaimed in her heart, this little girl's shy appearance is so beautiful that it makes people feel distressed.

She put away her playful gaze and introduced herself friendlyly:
"Hi, my name is Yue'er, and I'm also a maid here! Sister, you are so beautiful, what's your name!"

Hearing Li Lingyue's question, Shangguan Wan'er turned her cheek again, and politely replied:

"My surname is Shangguan, and my name is Wan'er!"

Although the other party's identity had already been confirmed, Li Lingyue felt an inexplicable pain in her chest when she said it out of her own mouth, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.

She suppressed the throbbing in her heart, and asked with some sobs: "Wan'er, are you okay?"

After the words fell, Li Lingyue immediately realized her gaffe.

She came from later generations, knew about Shangguan Wan'er's tragic ending, read Shangguan Wan'er's epitaph, and understood Princess Taiping's sincere affection for this best friend.

The reason why she asked may not be out of her original intention, but to convey the longing for this best friend for Princess Taiping in history for thousands of years.

"Oh, why are you crying?"

Shangguan Wan'er, who didn't know why, saw Li Lingyue crying suddenly, and hurried forward to comfort her.

Li Lingyue put down the food box, stretched out her long sleeves, wiped her cheeks in a very unladylike manner, and stubbornly argued:
"Who is crying, I just got bugs in my eyes!"

"Really? Why don't I look the same?" Shangguan Wan'er looked at her suspiciously.

"Believe it or not!" Li Lingyue snorted, like a proud peacock, and then changed the subject:
"I heard that the princess is coming to the Yeting Palace, why don't you watch the excitement?"

Shangguan Wan'er heard the words, her expression changed, she picked at the book with green fingertips, and sighed slightly:

"Hey, my mother doesn't allow me to go to the vestibule, she's always worried that I'll get into trouble, so I can only come here to endorse!"

"Then do you want to see the princess?" Li Lingyue asked slyly.

Shangguan Wan'er thought for a while, shook her head, and said indifferently:

"What's so interesting about the princess, I saw it at the lakeside last time!"

Li Lingyue looked at her in astonishment, touched her cheek and asked:

"Then have you seen her appearance?"

Wan'er smiled and said, "I just glanced at it from a distance, but never saw it for real. At that time she was swimming in the lake, it was... almost..."

Speaking of this, Wan'er's voice stopped, Li Lingyue knew what she wanted to say, so she didn't point it out, but opened the food box, took out a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake that was said to be Wan'er's favorite, and placed it on the stone table , made a "please" gesture.

"Try it, let Gong... let my mother make the sweet-scented osmanthus cake!"

Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly took half a step back, waved her hands and refused:
"No, no, my mother said, don't eat other people's food easily!"

"Did your mother also say that you can't talk to strangers?"

Li Lingyue made a joke, and Shangguan Wan'er stopped talking. Li Lingyue raised her head, and saw her standing there, her face flushed, and she realized that the girl with feelings was too thin-skinned to take a joke.

She had no choice but to stand up, pull Shangguan Wan'er to sit down, then snatched the book from the other's hand, and teased:
"Lend me a book, and I'll treat you to a cake. It's all right now!"

"This……"

Wan'er blinked at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake while rubbing her skirt with both hands, feeling extremely tangled.

"Okay! If you don't eat, then I won't come next time!"

Li Lingyue picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and stuffed it directly into Shangguan Wan'er's mouth without any explanation.

The latter took a light bite, held the pastry in his hand, looked at Li Lingyue and asked:
"Listen to you, will you come here next time?"

Li Lingyue took a bite of the pastry and said vaguely:

"Of course, as long as you don't drive me away, I will send you pastries every day from now on!"

Shangguan Wan'er quickly explained: "How could I drive you away, this is not my home, everyone in Yeting Palace can come here!"

After finishing speaking, she lightly took a bite of the pastry, blinked her eyes at Li Lingyue, and added:
"You want to come here, why do you say that you send me pastries every day?"

Li Lingyue smiled "hee hee", leaned her body towards Shangguan Wan'er, then put her arms around Wan'er's shoulder carelessly, and said domineeringly:

"Because I want to be nice to you!"

Faced with Li Lingyue's sudden intimacy, Shangguan Wan'er's body trembled, like a frightened little white rabbit, she broke free at once, her small face was ashamed like a red apple, and she faltered and said:
"How could you be so..."

Please, sister, we are both girls, isn't it normal to hook our shoulders together?
Li Lingyue rolled her eyes, she was a little speechless towards this overly sensitive girl, please snort, and could only keep sitting in a ladylike posture, beckoning to Wan'er, coaxing:
"Miss, I'm not a bad person, why do you keep avoiding me?"

Shangguan Wan'er bit her lip, stared at Li Lingyue with blank eyes, and said seriously:
"My mother said that a woman should have four behaviors, one is a woman's virtue, the other is a woman's words, the third is a woman's appearance, and the fourth is..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Li Lingyue made a gesture towards Wan'er, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, the feudal ideology is really killing people, if this continues, then Wan'er will be completely useless.

It seems that I have to reverse this girl's ideology, otherwise she will really be trained by her mother to become a "mother-in-law and teach-children" lady, then how will I weigh the world's talented people and become the senior secretary of Empress Wu!
After making up her mind, Li Lingyue smiled slyly, got up and walked towards Shangguan Wan'er.

Wan'er, who was sizing up Li Lingyue, saw the other party walking towards her, with a wicked smile on her lips. For some reason, her heart was beating non-stop, and her pretty face, which was already hot, was even stained red at the neck.

Every time Li Lingyue took a step forward, Shangguan Wan'er took a step back.

The two of them went forward and back, attacking and defending, until Wan'er's back was pressed against the pillar of the gazebo, and there was no way to retreat.

Li Lingyue supported the pillar above Wan'er's head with one hand, and leaned her whole body towards her delicate body, as if it was a "wall-dong" move.

Their eyes met, their pretty faces pressed against each other, and each other's breath slapped each other's cheeks, which was warm, itchy, and revealing an indescribable ambiguity.

Wan'er, who was crushed under her body, looked terrified. She was nervous and frightened. She glanced over in a panic, rubbing her skirt tightly with her bright wrists, wriggled her throat a few times, and stammered and asked:
"You... you... what are you going to do?"

With a "grunt", Li Lingyue swallowed involuntarily. Wan'er's shy appearance made her look crazy, and she couldn't help complaining:
"Hey, this girl is too good-looking, especially her charming appearance. When she grows up, she won't make all the men in the world crazy about her!"

The more Li Lingyue looked at it, the more she couldn't control herself. From her perspective, Wan'er's face could be seen in full view, the long eyelashes, the pink face, the small cherry mouth, the fair neck...

"I...I...I want to..." Li Lingyue's mouth was dry, and she almost blurted out "I want to kiss you!"

Fortunately, the stability of an adult prevented her from making any drastic moves, but she also couldn't hold back her hands on Wan'er.

He stretched out his fingers, and gently stroked Wan'er's smooth and tender cheeks. The latter frowned, obviously a little angry.

Li Lingyue hastily withdrew her fingers, finished mopping, and said in an undeniable tone:
"I want to be your girlfriend!"

"Girlfriend?" Shangguan Wan'er was stunned as she muttered the word.

"Yes, boudoir, in the words of our hometown, it's a boudoir buddy, that's what you often call a friend of Jinlan!" Li Lingyue explained.

"Doesn't the friendship between Jinlan and Lanchi refer to men?" Wan'er just asked, then she understood something, and said to Li Lingyue, "I understand, you want to be my sister?"

Li Lingyue nodded: "That's almost what it means!"

Upon hearing this, Wan'er breathed a long sigh of relief, put her hands on her chest, made a gesture, and said to Li Lingyue:

"Then can you... stay away from me first?"

"Ah! Sorry! I was abrupt!"

Li Lingyue opened her mouth subconsciously, then withdrew her hand supporting the pillar, stood up straight, and smiled awkwardly at Wan'er.

"Suo Errui, what do you mean?" Wan'er murmured curiously.

"Hey, mantra, don't worry about these!" Li Lingyue waved her hands carelessly, and quickly changed the subject:
"Then let's make an agreement. From now on, we will be best friends. You are one year older than me. From now on, I will call you Sister Wan'er!"

"Huh? No!" Wan'er asked with a puzzled face, "How do you know I'm a year older than you?"

"Ah!" Li Lingyue was stopped by the question again, facing this curious baby, she could only choose to prevaricate:

"I guess, don't care about these, let's continue to eat pastries, hee hee!"

After a while, the two of them finished their pastries and sat side by side on the railing of the gazebo, with their bodies facing outwards, their feet swaying, enjoying the beautiful scenery of Taiye Pool while the summer breeze was blowing.

Shangguan Wan'er held a hosta flower in her hand, sniffed deeply in the stamen with the tip of her nose, closed her eyes enjoying it, and the long hair around her ears was still blown by the breeze.

Li Lingyue flipped through the tattered book, glanced briefly, then closed the book and asked:

"Sister Wan'er, why do you know how to read books like "The Commandments of Women"?"

Wan'er opened her eyes and said with a smile: "My mother told me to see that she was a woman, so I don't need to know the difference..."

"Stop!" Li Lingyue hastily stopped, and the next moment, in front of Wan'er, she grabbed the book, took a deep breath, swung her arm vigorously, and threw the "Women's Commandments" directly into the lake.

"Oh! What are you doing!"

Shangguan Wan'er was so frightened by Li Lingyue's actions that her face turned pale, and she was about to jump off the gazebo to pick up books in the lake.

Li Lingyue grabbed her tightly, and without waiting for the other party to get angry, she took out a copy of "The Book of Songs" from her arms and handed it to her.

"Here, this kind of book is suitable for you, and I brought it to you specially!"

"But……"

"There is no 'but'!" Without waiting for Wan'er to refuse, Li Lingyue forced the book into her arms.

Shangguan Wan'er blushed, carefully opened the title page of the book, and was quickly attracted by the words inside. Looking at it, she was so immersed in it that she even forgot Li Lingyue, who was peeping at her next to her.

The sun is slanting, beams of light pass through the green leaves on the gazebo, and hit Wan'er's face: delicate skin, slender willow eyebrows, clean eyes, and the faint fluff on the corner of the mouth under the sun...

Li Lingyue looked a little crazy again, and it took a long time to look away, and suddenly became very poetic, and couldn't help but chanted in the bottom of her heart:

Shangguan has a girl who has just grown up,
No one knew about Ye Ting for ten years.

Full of economics to serve the king,
Once weighed the world soldier.

Sister Wan'er, this is your way, I want to accompany you on the way! !
　I'm on the Qingyun list today, and I'll say one last sentence: Please collect, ask for a monthly ticket, and ask for a recommendation!
