In the first year of Tianshou, Wu Zetian changed the name of Tang Dynasty to Zhou Dynasty. This was the beginning of a generation of female emperors who ruled the world in a legitimate and legitimate manner.
In Chang'an City, in a luxurious princess mansion, hundreds of servants are busy.
Seeing that everything was ready, the steward came to a pavilion and reported.
"Meet Princess!"
Sitting on a bed in the pavilion was a plump and beautiful woman wearing a gorgeous palace dress. She slowly opened her eyes and asked lazily and casually.
"Well, how are you preparing?"
"Princess Qi, everything is ready."
The beautiful woman had a complicated expression, including joy and worry, and sighed.
"The way my mother did this is really unprecedented. I don't know whether this is a blessing or a curse!"
The housekeeper pressed his head against the stone bricks, just like a frightened ostrich that buries its head in the sand and pretended to be dead.
He didn't dare to answer at all, and he didn't want to hear the question.
"hehe…"
Princess Taiping smiled and didn't care about the housekeeper's timidity.
The twenty-seven-year-old Princess Taiping is still young and beautiful due to her long life of fine clothes and fine food. Coupled with her plump and proud figure, she is full of charm.
However, she is also already a mother of four children.
"No more talking, where is Ling'er?"
"Princess Qi, the princess is not up yet."
Princess Taiping was stunned for a moment, shook her head with a funny look on her face, and said.
"Ling'er usually looks like a little adult, which makes me almost forget that she is only five years old, which is the age when she becomes sleepy."
Wu Ling'er was the second daughter born to her and her consort Xue Shao. Because of her calm demeanor, the queen liked her. She believed that the other granddaughters were similar to her, so she was granted the title of Princess of the First Grade the year before last, and she was married to her last year.
Changing his surname to Wu caused an uproar at the time.
However, with Wu Zetian's strong insistence, she was allowed to change her surname smoothly, which was truly a unique blessing.
Speaking of her daughter, Princess Taiping couldn't help but think of her consort...Xue Shao.
Also in the year before last, the prince-in-law's eldest brother Xue Yi participated in the rebellion of the clan Li Chong. Wu Zetian ordered Xue Yi to be executed. This incident also implicated the prince-in-law Xue Shao.
She and her three children begged many times, but to no avail.
Then last year, the prince-in-law was beaten to death with a hundred canes and starved to death in Luoyang Prison.
At that time, she was still pregnant with her fourth child with her consort.
It's a pity that her queen mother Wu Zetian was really ruthless and used her husband to establish her authority.
In fact, just this year, Wu Zetian wanted Princess Taiping to remarry her nephew, Princess Taiping's cousin Wu Youji.
However, Princess Taiping did not agree this time, but firmly refused.
Although Wu Zetian was dissatisfied, she did not punish her most beloved daughter.
On the contrary, Wu Zetian later had more trust in Princess Taiping.
The sadness on Princess Taiping's face flashed away, and she gave instructions in a wan tone.
"Go, wake up Ling'er, it's time to set off."
"yes."
"Oh, if not for the fact that Queen Mother insists that Ling'er attend the ceremony..."
Could this be a kiss from another generation? Princess Taiping felt helpless.
From the Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the Hen Dynasty was the Chen Dynasty.
Wu Zetian's move created a historical precedent. It is unprecedented in the land of the Central Plains and has no successors since.
Whether in the court or among the people, there is a lot of discussion, and there are overwhelming opponents.
But Wu Zetian still insisted on going her own way, and what was even more frightening was that she was really about to do it.
In order to distinguish it from the Taoism advocated by Li Tang, it is more accurate to say that it is necessary to balance Taoism.
Wu Zetian found another prominent religion in the Central Plains...Buddhism, and claimed to be the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha.
In this way, she won strong support from Buddhism, which was also the most important reason why she was confident that she could secure the throne.
After all, without the support of Buddhist masters, she alone would not be able to fight against the masters in the world.
Especially the Taoists, although their number is small, their strength and influence are extremely amazing.
If left alone, they might help Li Tang's clan change its dynasty.
…
Not everyone can enter the new emperor's enthronement ceremony.
However, Princess Taiping is not an ordinary person. Her status is even higher than that of her brothers. There is no need to check when entering the palace, and the journey is smooth.
Princess Taiping was sitting in a carriage, holding her five-year-old daughter in her arms, silently.
Wu Ling'er stared straight ahead, her small face full of solemnity, like a little adult.
"Ling'er, have you memorized all the rules you learned before?"
Wu Ling'er nodded and replied.
"I've written it all down."
The little girl looked calm, but her heart was heavy.
It's not that he was infected by the solemn atmosphere in the palace, but he was worried that he would be exposed.
Six years later, the realm and experience of her previous life are still there, and after this reincarnation, she has a new understanding of reincarnation.
Therefore, it only took her six years and hundreds of millions of external help to cultivate to the limit of a mortal, and she was only one step away from complete recovery.
But she didn't dare to take this step.
because…
Her grandmother Wu Zetian is an immortal, can you believe it?
Her mother, Princess Taiping, is also the ultimate mortal, with the same cultivation level as her!
All the civil and military ministers of the entire dynasty also had high levels of cultivation, and there were also countless immortal-level ones.
If Ye Yuan hadn't helped cover it up, she might have been exposed long ago.
As for the breakthrough, don't even think about it. The movement is too big and cannot be concealed.
As for how to solve it...
She obtained a Buddhist practice from her grandmother, Wu Zetian, about the six paths of reincarnation.
In this way, she can slowly demonstrate her cultivation and shape herself into a cultivation wizard.
However, these all take time.
Time for thinking always passes quickly. No, when Wu Ling'er came back to her senses, mother and daughter had already arrived.
Wu Ling'er suddenly saw a familiar figure, and her heart moved.
Princess Taiping followed her daughter's line of sight and saw a young man in his twenties who was handsome, charming, and very eye-catching. The palace maids passing by would look at him from time to time.
Princess Taiping's eyes fluctuated slightly, but in the end she just nodded slightly, saying hello to her cousin.
After all, he was almost her husband, so it was normal for him to attract her daughter's attention, but she didn't notice at all that her daughter's eyes were level.
Princess Taiping gently pulled her daughter's little hand. Their location was inside the palace, not outside.
Wu Youji bowed his hands and watched the mother and daughter leave with a complicated expression.
At this moment, a small figure suddenly jumped out from behind him.
This is a five-year-old boy with a pair of big, flexible eyes that are particularly restless and always swishing around.
The little boy looked at Wu Youji's silly look, smiled secretly, and asked.
"Why, second brother can't bear to part with you?"
When Wu Youji heard this extremely familiar voice, he felt a splitting headache. After standing up straight, he said helplessly.
"Youchang, this is the palace, don't talk nonsense."
The little boy, Wu Youchang, rolled his eyes and threatened.
"Really? Then I'll go back and tell my second sister-in-law."
"you…"
Wu Youji was furious, but there was nothing he could do about his naughty brother.
He is a weak scholar who can't even run away from a skinny monkey.
Without any cultivation, no wonder Princess Taiping looked down on him.
Thinking of Wu You's expression in a trance, he didn't know whether he felt happy or sad.
When Wu Youchang saw his expression, he knew what he was thinking. He jumped up and patted his shoulder, comforting him.
"Second brother, it's okay. Second sister-in-law doesn't dislike you!"
Wu Youji suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, and said helplessly.
