Chapter 91 Shangguan Wan'er meets He Xiangu by chance, Wu Zetian is dying

"Hello, I'm the owner of this store, you can tell me if you have any requirements."

He Xiangu looked at the young and handsome little boss in front of her, and couldn't help thinking of three words: "Talent."

If he can join Haotian God, it will be more useful than a flat peach garden.

He Xiangu begged: "Boss Lu, please, sell me another fried rice, I'm not full."

"I'm not full, then I really didn't think carefully. I thought this plate was enough for a girl like you."

"I eat a lot."

He Xiangu explained with a pretty blushing face that it must be enough to eat. Couldn't she take a bowl home for supper?

And the focus is not on the taste, this fried rice is like the pan peach elixir, eating it can increase your cultivation base, so I am willing to do as much as I want.

Lu Feng smiled and shook his head, naturally he could guess what He Xiangu was thinking, and he even knew exactly how much money she had in her pocket: "Okay, it's definitely not good to make another copy, it will break and I'll decide for myself The following rule is to slap yourself in the face. But you are lucky, I fried a little more when preparing this fried rice, and I can pack it for you to take home and eat without charging any money."

He Xiangu said pleasantly: "Thank you boss, you are such a good person, you are so handsome."

"you flatter me."

Lu Feng turned his head and said to Miao Shan: "Go and pack the leftover golden fried rice for this beautiful girl."

He also reminded; "Don't steal it."

Miao Shan rolled her eyes: "Damn it, I really forget my friends. Yesterday, the owner of a jewelry store cried and said that he was not full and wanted to eat another dish. You threw him out mercilessly. In the end, facing a girl, he compromised so quickly."

Miao Shan went to the kitchen, angrily packed up the leftover fried rice, and brought it out to He Xiangu: "Thanks for your patronage, I spent a total of 11 taels of silver."

He Xiangu was taken aback: "Isn't it ten taels?"

"That's how it is. The ten taels of silver is the vegetable gold for consumption, and there is also a ten percent service fee. This is what our boss ordered."

He Xiangu poured out eleven silver beans from the purse with some distress: "You take some."

Miao Shan weighed the silver on the small scale, nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you for your patronage, and welcome to come again next time."

He Xiangu walked out of Chongtian Restaurant with a box of fried rice, her grateful mood gradually calmed down, looking at her empty wallet, she felt a little distressed.

"Oops, I spent so much money, where can I get the money to pay the dues to Haotian God? I really can't bear it, I really want to leave this restoration society, I can enter or not, just like a cult, why did I just temporarily If you are blind, why do you want to join the club?"

Walking aimlessly on the street, I dare not go back.

"He Xiangu."

Suddenly, someone stopped her, and He Xiangu turned her head and looked over, only to see a carriage stopped beside her, and the curtain of the carriage was pulled open, revealing an old face, and she asked excitedly: "He Xiangu, are you He Xiangu?" huh? You don't know me anymore?"

He Xiangu looked carefully and suddenly remembered: "You are Wan'er?"

Shangguan Wan'er looked at He Xiangu, and said pleasantly: "Exactly! Exactly! He Xiangu, it's been a long time. You haven't changed at all compared to before, and I'm already so old."

He Xiangu was also a little embarrassed. When she and Empress Wu sat down to discuss the Tao, Shangguan Wan'er was still a court lady who had just entered the palace, a child in her teens, and now she has become an old woman with a lot of vicissitudes.

He Xiangu said: "Wan'er, is Empress Wu okay?"

Shangguan Wan'er's expression darkened: "Your Majesty's health has gotten worse in the past few years, and he looks much older, but His Majesty has always been thinking about Xiangu. Xiangu, have you practiced the art of immortality?"

He Xiangu shook her head and said, "It's not easy to live forever. Even the righteous gods in heaven have to eat the peach elixir to continue their lives. Ordinary gods are only a thousand years old."

"Chitose!"

Shangguan Wan'er's heart skipped a beat, she couldn't live forever, she would be satisfied if she could live to be a thousand years old.

Shangguan Wan'er is about a hundred years old now, if she can cultivate to a thousand years old, wouldn't she become a ten-year-old child and be rejuvenated again?
Shangguan Wan'er got off the car immediately: "Xianggu, I am so lucky to have met you, can I invite you to sit in the prime minister's mansion and discuss the Tao, and then talk about poetry, poetry, and philosophy of life."

Only then did He Xiangu notice that Shangguan Wan'er was wearing a first-grade official uniform of the imperial court, and she couldn't help being surprised: "You have become a prime minister?"

Shangguan Wan'er nodded: "I was originally named "Neisheren" and was in charge of the palace for many years. During Tang Zhongzong, I was named Zhaorong. Later, when Her Majesty the Empress ascended the throne, I was named a female prime minister and ruled the country for more than ten years. During the political period, the library was expanded, the number of bachelors was added, Fengya presided over it, commented on the world's poems and essays on behalf of the imperial court, and many poets gathered in my family. When I retired from the prime minister, there were Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi, Cui Xuanwei, etc. "

He Xiangu couldn't help being very envious. Although Shangguan Wan'er didn't have much accomplishment in cultivating immortals, her life was much more exciting than her own.

"Oh, I admire you, but Wan'er, you are a powerful person in the world, and I am a practitioner. We can't talk at all, so I'm leaving."

Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly stopped He Xiangu; "Hold on, Xiangu, I basically don't care about the court affairs now, I can follow you and concentrate on cultivating the Tao."

He Xiangu still shook her head. She could see that Shangguan Wan'er was a person with a strong desire for power. She cultivated immortality only to prolong her own life. After her lifespan increased, she would definitely return to the world to become an official, even like Empress Wu. , wanting to become an empress.

"It still doesn't work, we don't agree with each other."

Seeing that she could not persuade He Xiangu, Shangguan Wan'er could only play the emotional card: "Xiangu, listen to me again, the current situation in the court is turbulent, Prime Minister Zhang Jianzhi, Cui Xuanwei and ministers Jing Hui, Yan Yanfan, Yuan Shuji, etc., intend to restore The descendants of the Li family are emperors. His majesty is in poor health and can hardly be suppressed after committing a disturbance, please help her for the sake of being with your majesty's friends."

He Xiangu refused: "Immortals are not allowed to use their divine power in vain to interfere in the internal affairs of the mortal empire. This is a rule set by Immortal Ruyi, and I cannot violate it."

Shangguan Wan'er said: "I know, but you and His Majesty are best friends, and now His Majesty's time is approaching, even if you don't save her, you should go to see her one last time."

"That's fine."

He Xiangu remembered that when she was young, she had a strong relationship with Empress Wu, and she couldn't bear to not even see her for the last time.

"Wan'er, take me into the palace to meet Her Majesty the Queen."

Shangguan Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she finally managed to stabilize He Xiangu, and immediately took her into the palace.

The empress is now 120 years old. In the past, she was a long-lived person who shocked the whole country. Even now, she is quite remarkable.

But the empress is really old now, with dimples on her face, lying on the bed dying, no different from ordinary old people waiting to die.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Empress Wu's appearance, and felt anxious and sad, because once Empress Wu died, without Empress Wu's care, she would definitely suffer revenge from Li Tang's descendants.

Moreover, she is also a hundred years old, and she can only last for 20 years at most. The present of Empress Wu is her future.

Now He Xiangu is also a hundred years old, but He Xiangu's appearance has not changed a bit, this is undoubtedly a life-saving straw for her and Empress Wu, and they must be grasped no matter what.

Shangguan Wan'er came to the bed and said softly to Empress Wu: "Your Majesty, He Xiangu has come to see you."

"He Xiangu?"

Empress Wu's voice was very soft, and she needed to get close to her mouth to hear clearly: "Which one is He Xiangu?"

Shangguan Wan'er explained: "It is He Qiong who is said to eat mica and become a fairy. She can also identify and pick various fairy herbs and elixir in the mountains, treat various diseases for the nearby people, and predict human affairs, so People around all call her He Xiangu, and you have invited her into the palace many times, sat and discussed with her, and asked her about the art of immortality, have you forgotten?"

Empress Wu remembered: "So it's an old friend. She left without saying goodbye. It's been almost a hundred years. I didn't expect to meet her again. Hurry up."

"Yes."
