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

That night, Li Lingyue offered to stay in Wan'er's room. This decision naturally made Wan'er happy.

To Li Lingyue's surprise, Mrs. Zheng remained silent after hearing this and did not raise any objections.

It was the first time for the two sisters to sleep together, and they had endless sweet talk. At the end, Li Lingyue hugged Wan'er from behind, resting her head on her tight back, thinking about how to persuade Wan'er to leave the palace.

Wan'er, who was hugged, felt a sweetness in her heart, and she fell into a deep sleep not long after.

Early the next morning, Li Lingyue, who had been sleepless all night, was awakened by Wan'er.

After the two had breakfast, Wan'er dragged her out of the courtyard in a hurry.

"Sister Wan'er, where are you taking me?"

"Take you to meet someone!" Wan'er, who was walking in front, turned her head and smiled, a little mysteriously.

"See who?"

"Hee hee, you'll know when it arrives!"

The two talked and laughed all the way, walked through the corridor, and came to a familiar courtyard.

Li Lingyue felt a 'thump' in her heart!Isn't this the residence of Wang Shiguan?Does Wan'er know my identity?

"Sister Wan'er, it's getting late, I have to go back!" Li Lingyue was anxious and just wanted to run away.

"That won't work, wait until we see the people inside!" Wan'er turned around and took Li Lingyue's hand, not giving her a chance to escape.

Li Lingyue complained incessantly, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Wan'er into the small courtyard.

Wang Shiguan was originally from Fengyang Pavilion, Li Lingyue put her in Yeting Palace through operation, and became the steward under Liu Gonggong, responsible for helping Li Lingyue to take care of Zheng's wife.

Wan'er, who didn't know it, led her into the small courtyard, just in time to see Sergeant Wang sitting at the stone table drinking tea.

Wan'er took a deep breath, grabbed Li Lingyue and stepped forward quickly, bowing herself to the royal servant.

"Wan'er has met Steward Wang!"

Ever since seeing Li Lingyue entered the courtyard, Wang Shiguan remained motionless in the posture of serving tea, so that when Wan'er saluted, her eyes were still fixed on Li Lingyue.

Li Lingyue quickly shook her head at her, Wang Shiguan recovered from his shock, and just about to get up to greet Li Lingyue, Li Lingyue stared back at her again.

Wan'er turned her head and saw Li Lingyue standing in place, she quickly tugged at her sleeves, motioning for her to salute.

Li Lingyue couldn't laugh or cry, so she could only slightly bow her body:
"Yue'er has met Steward Wang!"

"Ah! No need, no need!!" Shiguan Wang hurriedly put down the teacup, and subconsciously wanted to help Li Lingyue. Just as his buttocks left the stone bench, he felt that he was acting too deliberately, so he sat back down again.

"That... Wan'er, why did you come to see me?"

Sitting on pins and needles, Wang Shiguan picked up the teacup again and pretended to taste the tea to cover up his uneasiness.

Li Lingyue sniffed, knelt down suddenly, and begged Wang Shiguan:

"I beg Steward Wang to be merciful, let Yue'ermei and her mother... move here to live with me and my mother!"

With a sound of "噗嗤", Wang Shiguan spewed out a mouthful of tea!

Even though it was clear that Wan'er didn't know Li Lingyue's identity, Wang Shiguan couldn't help but sweat from the bottom of his heart.

This girl really dared to think that if the Queen and Princess moved to live in Yeting Palace, the palace would not be in chaos.

Li Lingyue also couldn't help laughing when she heard Wan'er's request, she was a little moved, she didn't care, but she had to convince her old lady, unless the Leifeng Pagoda fell and the West Lake dried up.

"That! Wan'er, I'm not in charge of this matter, I'll discuss it later!" Wang Shiguan found an excuse and planned to fool it.

"But at the beginning, my mother and I were also arranged by the steward Wang. Why can't sister Yue'er do it?"

Seeing Wan'er's unwillingness to give up, Li Lingyue pulled her sleeve and said, "Sister Wan'er, don't make things difficult for Steward Wang, my mother and I live well now, besides, we meet every day, so it doesn't matter if we can't live together!"

"But……"

"No, but, Mr. Wang, let's take our leave now!"

Li Lingyue dragged and dragged the unwilling Wan'er out of the courtyard.

The two returned to the attic, Li Lingyue made tea, and Wan'er read a book, staying for another whole day.

……

At sunset, the two held a bouquet of flowers in each hand, laughing and playing all the way, preparing to go back to Wan'er's hut.

Before he got home, he saw Mrs. Zheng hurried over with Cui Daizhao.

"Auntie, why are you here?"

Wan'er called out, saw Cui Daizhao behind Mrs. Zheng, and asked suspiciously: "This is..."

"Go, go back with mother!" Zheng didn't explain, stepped forward to hold Wan'er's hand, turned and left.

"Mother, what's wrong with you, sister Yue'er!" Wan'er turned her head and called Li Lingyue while struggling.

From the moment Cui Daizhao appeared, Li Lingyue knew that something must happen, she smiled and persuaded Wan'er loudly:
"Sister Wan'er, you go back first, I will come to see you in two days!"

"you sure?"

"Sure!"

When Zheng's mother and son were not far away, Li Lingyue asked: "Aunt Cui, what happened, why did you come to Yeting Palace in person!"

Cui Daizhao's face was a bit ugly, she exhaled and murmured:

"Princess! There is an urgent report from Dongdu, the old lady... has passed away!"

The sudden bad news stunned Li Lingyue, she grabbed Cui Daizhao's hand:

"You mean, my grandmother..."

Cui Daizhao nodded vigorously, "Yes! Princess! The empress was shocked to hear the sad news, turned away the morning court, and locked herself in the mourning hall. Until now, no water has entered, so the servant came to invite the princess back!"

Li Lingyue was very sad when she heard it, and when she thought about the little things she had with her grandmother, she shed tears and felt heartbroken.

From the time she was born, the kind and kind grandmother treated her as a treasure and spoiled her to the sky. Whenever she had any needs, the old lady would satisfy them. As a result, she often lived in her grandmother's house during her childhood, and the grandparents and grandsons had a good time.

Now that a loved one has passed away, why not make her sad.

When Li Lingyue rushed to Hanliang Hall anxiously, except for the seriously ill prince, the other three elder brothers were already waiting outside the door.

Seeing the younger sister appear, the three elder brothers stepped forward to say hello.

Li Lingyue's eyes were red, and she asked Li Xian: "Second brother, why don't you go in?"

Li Xian shook his head and sighed: "Father is inside to comfort mother, I can't enter, so I can only stay outside and wait for news."

"Little sister, you came just in time!" Li Xian put his hands on her shoulders and said repeatedly: "The queen mother has always doted on you, as long as you try to persuade her, she will definitely listen to you!"

Li Dan immediately echoed: "That's right! We won't go in if the little sister is here!"

While speaking, the door of Hanliang Hall was opened, and Li Zhi walked out with a gloomy expression.

Li Lingyue walked forward quickly, and asked with concern: "Aye, how is Mom?"

Li Zhi sighed heavily, and said rather helplessly: "I tried my best to comfort you with good words, but your mother's temper... I was kicked out too! Hey!"

Li Lingyue thought for a while, and said to Li Zhi and the others: "Aye, three brothers, it's useless for you to stay here, if you don't go back first, leave this place to me!"

Li Zhi nodded, and said: "Yue'er, tell your mother that the dead cannot be brought back to life, tell her to eat something and take care of yourself!"

Li Lingyue made a bow: "Aye, don't worry, my daughter will save it!"

After Li Zhi and his three elder brothers left, Li Lingyue went to the female officers of the food bureau, and took a tray of white porridge from one of the female officers.

"There's nothing to do here, you all go down!"

"Yes! Princess!" Everyone retreated one after another.

Li Lingyue entered the hall alone with white porridge, while Cui Daizhao closed the door and guarded outside.

Turning around the screen, the side hall on the side where Li Lingyue came was temporarily arranged as a mourning hall, with white sails hanging high, candles flickering, Yang's memorial tablet was placed on the altar, and on the lower side, Empress Wu, dressed in white, was kneeling on the futon, twirling Buddhist beads in her hand, and was reciting scriptures for her deceased mother.

Li Lingyue put the tray aside, brought a futon to Empress Wu, then knelt down respectfully, took out the string of rosary beads that her grandmother had given her from her arms, and together with Empress Wu, chanted scriptures for her grandmother.

As Empress Wu's daughter, Li Lingyue knew that this lady was in grief, no matter how many soft words she said, it would be of no avail. Therefore, the only thing she could do now was not to disturb her, but to stay by her side silently.

The mother and daughter knelt for several hours. Li Lingyue was really worried about Empress Wu's health, so she finally persuaded:
"Grandmother, stop torturing yourself, grandma is in the sky, seeing you like this, how can she go away with peace of mind!"

Empress Wu acted as if she hadn't heard, she moved the rosary with her fingers, mechanically repeating the movement of chanting.

"Auntie!"

Li Lingyue shook Empress Wu's shoulder, then grabbed the rosary in her hand, trying to make her stop.

Seeing that the rosary had been snatched away, Empress Wu slapped Li Lingyue unceremoniously without even thinking about it.

The slap went on, the mother and daughter looked at each other, and finally stopped chanting.

Empress Wu's lips trembled, and tears finally fell down. She gently stroked Li Lingyue's cheek with her fingers, and said with a sob:
"Yue'er, I... my mother is gone, I'm so sad... so lonely!"

"Auntie!!"

Li Lingyue had a sore nose and plunged into Empress Wu's arms. The mother and daughter hugged each other tightly and cried bitterly.
