While they were talking, Empress Changsun helped Wu Meiniang up and then went straight into the house.
Wu Meiniang thought in her mind and made a decision quickly. "Empress, I am just helping a friend copy his masterpiece."
"Oh? For someone who is quite talented to learn from you and call it a masterpiece, it must be something not simple..."
Empress Changsun smiled sweetly, picked up a piece of paper with dried ink, glanced at it, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
The words above seemed a little different, or in other words, they were obviously different from the words in the books that Queen Changsun had seen.
But once she started reading it, Empress Changsun discovered keenly that she could easily understand the meaning of the words.
"My dear, this writing style is called vernacular writing because he wants to distinguish it from the books we read every day."
Empress Changsun couldn't help but her eyes lit up. "Vernacular writing... a writing style that is straightforward and simple, just like ordinary people speaking and answering questions?"
"Although this kind of book is easy to understand, I'm afraid the literati and refined scholars won't be willing to read it... Hey... "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"."
Empress Changsun glanced at the desk, and soon saw a tribute paper that had been bound into a volume.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was written in four large characters with thick ink and color. Empress Changsun picked up the bound book.
I slowly opened the first page. There were three big characters on it, Linjiang Immortal. Then, a powerful and majestic long and short sentence jumped into my eyes.
After just a brief glance, Empress Changsun's face could not help but change slightly, and she even felt like she was actually there.
Empress Changsun turned her head to look at Wu Meiniang in disbelief. Wu Meiniang seemed to be opening her mouth to speak, but then she closed her mouth.
Empress Changsun turned around and winked at Shang Gong and others who had already entered the room to serve.
Soon, the few people who had entered the house quietly retreated out of the house, and the personal attendant even closed the door knowingly.
"Did he write it?" Empress Changsun sat in front of the couch and asked Wu Meiniang warmly, who was also sitting in front of her.
Wu Meiniang adjusted her expression, then revealed a subtle and somewhat resentful expression on her face and whispered.
"My slave also asked me this question. He...he only said that it was written by a friend of his who has no origin, no place of origin, or even a friend who is not even in this world..."
"???" Empress Changsun looked blankly at Wu Meiniang in front of her until she was sure that Wu Meiniang did not mean to tease her.
Queen Changsun's expression softened and she couldn't help but bite the itchy root of her teeth. "Is that what Cheng Laosan said?"
Wu Meiniang nodded angrily. "Well, I was so angry that I wanted to beat him."
Empress Changsun couldn't help but feel euphemistic. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but echoed. "That kid is indeed annoying enough. He should be dealt with..."
Taking a deep breath, Empress Changsun calmed down her mind a little before opening the first chapter.
The first sentence of the opening sentence made Empress Changsun raise her beautiful eyebrows. The general trend of the world will break up if it stays together for a long time, and it will break up if it stays divided for a long time...
However, the number of ten made Empress Changsun feel as if a wise man was giving guidance and insight into the universe.
But once we think of that wise man with Cheng Sanlang's majestic yet immature face, the contrast is really hard to accept.

Empress Changsun's personal followers were all waiting outside. As the time got later and later, even the minister became a little uneasy.
However, from time to time, he heard the sound of turning paper, which made Shang Gong understand that Queen Changsun must be reading something.
Naturally, she did not dare to knock on the door and disturb the Queen, so she could only wait quietly with the others.
Unknowingly, Empress Changsun became more and more fascinated as she watched, until she felt her eyes were dim and the light suddenly brightened again.
Empress Changsun was shocked to realize that it was already dusk, and the sudden brightness just now was caused by Wu Meiniang lighting the oil lamp.
"It's already this time?" Queen Changsun glanced at the door and window, and nodded slightly towards Wu Meiniang.
"I didn't expect that I would be so fascinated by it. It seems that I really underestimated his literary talent."
"This kid..." Empress Changsun closed the page of the book with some reluctance, and then suddenly raised her beautiful black eyebrows.
Gently crossing the three characters of Luo Guanzhong with his fingers, he seemed to see Cheng Sanlang deliberately putting on a heroic and loyal posture.
It was also like seeing Cheng Sanlang's serious and focused expression when he was treating himself.
He couldn't help but think of his face when he argued with Kong Yingda in Ganlu Hall and even acted rogue in order to inherit Qian.
Wu Meiniang quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Empress Changsun who was silent, lowered her eyes and continued to keep quiet.
After a long time, Queen Changsun asked in a gentle and peaceful voice.
"Did he tell you why he asked you to copy it?"
After hearing Queen Changsun's question, Wu Meiniang's expression suddenly became a little strange.
"Your Majesty, please keep this secret for me..."
After hearing this, Queen Changsun was not unhappy, but became more and more curious. "Of course I won't tell anyone, so please tell me..."
Wu Meiniang almost laughed out loud when she thought of the expression on Cheng Sanlang's face when he told the story of the incident under her many threats and inducements.
Fortunately, she calmed down her mind in time and tried to make her expression calmer.
"This has to start with Cheng Sanlang's three younger brothers..."
"His three younger brothers..." Empress Changsun's pupils couldn't help but become a little hollow, and her voice seemed a little dazed.
The three naughty boys of the Cheng family, No. 456, have also made quite a name for themselves in the Tang dynasty circle.
According to rumors, it is just a common thing for the Cheng family to go to the house to lay tiles on four or five occasions. Even my husband has seen the power of these three naughty children.
Empress Changsun nodded with a strange look on her face, and even pinched herself. She had to hold it back, she was talking about business now.
Cheng Laosan was so worried about his three younger brothers' studies that he didn't even know what to do.
Finally, he discovered that these three younger brothers were fond of martial arts, so he decided to make up some exciting short stories for the three younger brothers that were not only related to real history.
As expected, the three younger brothers were fascinated by what they heard and used these short stories to urge them to do their homework.
He only listened to it after he had finished it. Repeatedly and for so many days, he really got the chance to take the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and compile a lot of stories.
However, he was afraid of trouble, or in other words, he was not willing to tell long stories every day, so he lied and claimed that the book was written by someone else.
He has to copy it. Anyway, it's impossible to listen to it every day. It's almost enough to tell you every now and then...
Empress Changsun listened intently to Wu Meiniang's statement, looking a little dumbfounded.
