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

Chapter 3 The Wu Family
On the day of Empress Wu's birth, Prince Li Hong brought all the princes to greet him, but Wu Zetian turned him away. After Li Zhi came out satisfied, the brothers entered the house one by one.

Li Lingyue had already fallen into a deep sleep when the imperial brothers entered the room, Wu Zetian only let them take a look and then sent them away.

She is only a baby now, her body is weak, she sleeps most of the time every day, and the rest is eating, drinking and lazing, and her brain has just started to develop, so she is prone to sleepiness when she thinks about problems.

Perhaps it was the death of the eldest princess that left a psychological shadow on Empress Wu. She was a little too cautious in taking care of the little princess.

She ordered someone to set up the baby room next to her bedroom, and there was only a curtain between the two rooms. As long as there was any movement next door, she would know immediately.

Most of the maids who look after the little princess are personal servants who take care of her daily life. At any time, there are three maids around the little princess who are constantly looking after them. The three monitor each other to prevent anyone from harming them secretly.

In addition, the utensils used by the little princess are strictly sterilized by special personnel, and even the milk of the nursing mother will be sampled and checked before feeding.

With such a high standard of protection, Wu Zetian was still worried, so he sent someone to Li Zhi and ordered several teams of imperial troops to be stationed outside Hanliang Hall for a long time.

Who would have thought that Wu Zetian, who was disowned by her relatives, would become a "loved girl madman" because of Taiping's birth.

Faced with her mother's excessive doting, Li Lingyue really couldn't bear it. She was a baby and couldn't speak. She could only express herself by crying when she was hungry or peed.

This is a normal phenomenon, but the maid who served her was in bad luck. As long as Wu Zetian heard her cry, he would reprimand the maid.

As a result, the court ladies and nurses would lift her quilt from time to time to see if she had wet the bed. As soon as she opened her eyes, the nurses would hurriedly undo her clothes and bring her to nurse, making it difficult for her to clean up.

Early the next morning, after Wu Zetian washed up and had breakfast with the little princess in her arms, the mother and daughter waited for the important guests on the dragon floor.

Not long after, father-in-law Yang Yi led the way with a smile, followed by a man and three women. Among them, the middle-aged woman and the young girl walked into the hall with the help of an old lady. Seeing the four people entering, all the female officials in the hall knelt down. to salute.

The old lady is already an octogenarian, with silver hair and a stooped body, but she is full of energy. She wears the costume of "Mrs. Guo" and holds a string of Buddhist beads. Greetings warmly:

"My sister is here, take your seat quickly."

The old lady nodded lovingly, and the three people behind her knelt down to pay respects to Wu Zetian, before Wu Zetian knelt down and said goodbye.

The old lady is none other than Wu Zetian's biological mother, Princess Taiping's grandmother, Mrs. Yang of Rongguo.

Among the other three, the middle-aged woman who is about the same age as Wu Zetian is Wu Zetian's own sister, Mrs. Wu Shun from South Korea.

A man and a woman standing behind Wushun are not outsiders, they are a pair of sons and daughters of Wushun, the handsome man is called He Lanminzhi, and the delicate girl is called Helan Minyue.

Mrs. Rongguo is a child of Yang Da, the clan of the former dynasty. Because she believed in Buddhism, she did not marry in her early years. After she was 30 years old, she was married by Taizu Li Yuan. She married a warrior Xun and gave birth to three daughters.

The eldest daughter Wu Shun, the second daughter Wu Zetian, and the third daughter died young after marriage.

Therefore, all those who came today were Wu Zetian's closest natal family.

The old lady went straight to the bed, looked at Li Lingyue in Wu Zetian's arms, and smiled lovingly:
"Let Auntie hug the little granddaughter!"

Wu Zetian handed it over carefully, and the old lady took the swaddling baby, hugged Li Lingyue in her arms and looked at it carefully.

"Like, really like, exactly the same as when A Niang gave birth to you!" The old lady smiled and couldn't help but praise.

Mrs. Rongguo believed deeply in Buddhism and always believed that Princess Taiping was the reincarnation of Princess Anding. She doted on her since she was a child, so that when she was a child, Taiping would rather live in her grandmother's house than return to the palace.

Since she is the only elder respected by her mother, Empress Wu, then she has to please her even more when she is a granddaughter!

Li Lingyue spit bubbles at her grandma, and then a characteristic smile appeared on her face.

"Oh, look, Mei Niang, my granddaughter actually smiled at me!"

Li Lingyue's intimate behavior made Mrs. Rongguo happy, and she couldn't bear to let go of her hand. The mother and daughter talked for a long time before the bed, and they carefully handed Li Lingyue over to her when their hands were really tired. In Wushun's hands.

Wu Shun is Taiping's aunt, and she loves this little niece very much, and would stretch out her fingers to tease her from time to time.

It's just that she didn't notice that Li Lingyue looked at her with pity. If Secretary Shi remembered correctly, this beautiful aunt would be forced to death by her own sister in half a year.

After a while, Wu Shun handed Li Lingyue over to his daughter Helan Minyue.

This girl was in her cardamom years, and she was pretty and pleasant. When she smiled at Li Lingyue, two dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, which was inherently charming.

Thinking of the fate of this cousin, Li Lingyue vomited another bubble, but this bubble was formed by sighing.

Just as she closed her eyes drowsily, she was sent into the arms of a man.

The faint scent unique to the man made her seem to have returned to the era of her first love, thinking of her first love senior who was wearing a white shirt with a faint scent of soap on the neckline.

Li Lingyue suppressed her drowsiness and opened her eyes...

What came into view was a face like a crown of jade, bright eyes and eyebrows, a nose like a peak, and elegant sideburns, which was indescribably beautiful.

God, is this the most beautiful man in Chang'an, my eldest cousin, He Lanminzhi, whom everyone loves and whose flowers bloom everywhere?
The records about He Lanminzhi in history are mostly negative. In the unofficial history, he is even described as a traitor who messed up the royal family.

Li Lingyue didn't know if this He Lanminzhi would really hurt her in the future, but at this moment, she was lucky enough to witness this number one male god in the early Tang Dynasty with her own eyes, especially at the peak of his appearance, so she felt that this trip was a good deal.

She struggled twice, wanting to reach out and touch this peerless beauty, but her hands were tied in the swaddling clothes, she swallowed her saliva, and had to give up.

He Lanminzhi smiled at him tenderly, said a few auspicious words, and handed her back to Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian hugged Li Lingyue again, and the family chatted for a while, Li Lingyue felt very uncomfortable looking at these natal families.

Because she knew that if history did not go wrong, these close relatives would all die shortly after she was born, and the murderer was none other than her mother Wu Zetian.

Thinking about it, Li Lingyue fell asleep again, and when she woke up again, her natal family was about to leave.

Before leaving, Mrs. Rong Guo took off the Buddhist beads in her hand, put them in Li Lingyue's swaddle, and said to Wu Zetian brokenly:
"This twisted Buddha beads was obtained by your grandmother from the White Horse Temple when A Niang was born. It is not a precious thing, but it has been with your mother for more than 80 years. Give it to your granddaughter today!"

"Auntie!"

Wu Zetian was shocked, she knew what the string of Buddhist beads represented, when she gave birth to Prince Li Hong, the old man didn't take it off, but now for a princess, the old man gave it to her without hesitation.

This also means that Mrs. Rong Guo's attitude towards the princess will directly affect Wu Zetian's pampering towards the princess in this life.

After her natal family left, Wu Zetian and her daughter were left in the Hanliang Palace. After a long time, a female official entered the house and told Wu Zetian:

"Back to Madam, the two brothers and sisters of He Lanmin escorted the old lady out of the palace, aunt... aunt went to His Majesty's place!"

Wu Zetian's expression darkened, and he asked coldly, "Did she go by herself, or did His Majesty call her over?"

The female officer said truthfully: "She went there by herself. She said that something was left at His Majesty's place and she has to get it!"

Wu Zetian clenched her fist tightly, and it took her a long time to release it slowly. There was no expression on her face, she just waved her hand to make the female officer back down.

Li Lingyue, who was already asleep, vaguely heard Wu Zetian talking to herself, and when she woke up, she only remembered one sentence:
"Sister, don't blame my sister!"
