In the third year of Xianqing's reign, in a courtyard in Chang'an,

There are two trees in the yard, one is a peach tree and the other is also a peach tree.

crunch

Crunch.

Between two peach trees, an eight or nine-year-old girl with two braids was swinging on a swing and eating peaches one by one.

"Lao Li, how long has it been since my mother-in-law visited me? It must have been half a year."

After the girl asked this question, she also threw out the remaining peach core.

"Miss, it's been one hundred and ninety-two days."

A boy of twelve or thirteen years old, wearing short clothes, took a plum from his pocket and handed it over after finishing speaking.

The little girl took the plums and was about to rub them.

"Wash it clean."

The girl didn't say anything, just ate half a plum and asked the young man: "Old Li, how is the matter that I asked you to inquire about."

"Changsun Wuji is still the prime minister, nothing else is abnormal."

The boy spoke briefly and stood there. When he saw that the girl had finished her plums, he handed over a few more yellow-orange apricots.

"Lao Li, how many times have I told you that Xingtai is not happy with her snacks."

While feeling disgusted, he grabbed the yellow apricot and put it in his mouth.

"I know, I won't buy this apricot next time."

The young man nodded.

"Old Li, you are so stupid. You won't be able to survive in the system. Do you understand your spirit and divergent thinking?

The apricots are the most delicious right now, so next time I buy bigger ones, buy more.”

The girl was eating yellow apricots and swinging on the swing, feeling indescribably leisurely.

The young man said "hmm" and stood there without saying a word.

It seems that I have long been accustomed to the strange words made by girls.

"Lao Li, let me tell you, as a man, you have no power or influence, and you will never find a wife if you are still boring."

"Um."

"Forget it, you don't understand even after I tell you, and I'm too lazy to care about you. When do you think my mother will come?"

Just as the girl was muttering, a carriage slowly stopped outside the house.

The beautiful woman opened the curtain, and immediately someone knelt down beside the carriage. With the help of the maid next to her, she stepped off the carriage and stepped on the "dismounting pier".

"Business as usual, search the area and kill if there is any abnormality!

No one can know the situation here. If even the slightest bit of news leaks out, not only will you die, but your family will also suffer, do you understand?"

"As commanded."

The people around quickly dispersed.

The beautiful woman didn't say anything, just opened the door and stepped into the house.

The old woman waiting at the door hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Old slave, please welcome my lady."

"Where's Yanran, are you feeling better lately?" the beautiful woman looked down at the old woman and asked.

After hearing the beautiful woman's words, the old woman hurriedly replied: "Madam, the young lady has been recovering for many days and is now playing on the swing in the courtyard."

"This time your fortune is good. If this happens next time, you will know the consequences yourself."

The old woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed, trembling all over: "Thank you, Madam, for your kindness. There will definitely be no next time."

The beautiful woman waved her hand to signal her to be silent and walked towards the backyard.

"husband……"

When the young man saw the beautiful woman arriving, he was about to speak but was stopped by her.

"Lao Li, let me tell you, this man wants, ah."

"Guess who I am."

"Mom, you are so old and you still play such childish tricks."

Li Yanran turned around, looked at the face in her memory, and confirmed that it was really her mother who had come.

"Xiao Yanran, have you missed grandma?"

The beautiful woman also smiled and looked at her daughter whom she had not seen for half a year, her eyes full of love.

Li Yanran walked directly into the arms of the beautiful woman and said coquettishly to her: "Of course I miss you, Auntie, you haven't come to see me for so long, have you forgotten me?"

The beautiful woman also enjoyed touching Li Yanran's head, letting her make nonsense and saying: "How could you forget about little Yanran?"

The young man on the side looked at the two people and left immediately.

Seeing Lao Li leaving, Li Yanran ignored the pleasantries and suddenly said to the beautiful woman with a serious face: "Mom, I have something to ask you, and you must answer me truthfully."

The beautiful woman glanced at the girl and said, "Why, you suddenly act like a little adult. Tell me, my mother is listening."

Li Yanran spoke again with a serious face: "Auntie, let me ask you, is my Li family a royal family or an official family?"

It is now the third year of Emperor Xianqing's reign in the Tang Dynasty, Li is the emperor's surname, and he has such a large house in Chang'an.

Ever since she woke up, she had been guessing that her father was probably a relative of the emperor, or at worst an official, with meritorious deeds.

But no matter which one it is, it will be a disaster for their family.

What period is it now? It is the era when Wu Zetian, the only empress in Chinese history, controlled the world.

If you are really a member of the royal family, it will be miserable. You have to worry about your life all the time. If you are not a relative of the royal family, but just an ordinary official, it may be even worse.

You must know that in the fourth year of Xianqing, when the powerful Changsun Wuji fell, his father would have been with Changsun Wuji.

After all, Changsun Wuji is now the prime minister and the emperor's uncle.

The foreign relative and the prime minister can be said to be the wings of the entire dynasty. Who doesn't want to fawn over, and who dares to disobey?

The start of "Tianniang" is difficult.

Li Yanran, who had fought Wu Zetian and lived another life, didn't want to get a box lunch early and go to Meng Po's place to taste the Forgettable Soup.

The beautiful woman was stunned for a moment, then her face turned cold, thinking that the damn servant must have let Yanran know her identity by gossiping.

If she finds out, she will definitely beat him to death with a stick as a warning to others.

"Yanran, you are right, our family is indeed a rich and powerful family."

When Li Yanran heard that this was indeed the case, she hurriedly said: "Mom, please inform my father right away, seize the time to give up your official position, sell the property, and let's move as far away from Chang'an as possible."

The beautiful woman touched Li Yanran's forehead with her hand.

After feeling that the temperature was normal, he said: "Yanran, today the Tang Dynasty is so majestic and powerful, people are coming from all over the world, and Chang'an is the location of the imperial city. Everyone is trying to settle in Chang'an.

Why do you want my mother and father to abandon their family property in Chang'an and move to a distant place?"

Looking at the beautiful woman, Li Yanran smiled bitterly in her heart.

She knew what the other party said was right. Chang'an was prosperous and magnificent, and it was the center of the world. Naturally, no one wanted to leave this place.

She can't say that she is a time traveler and tell her that Empress Wu will overthrow Changsun Wuji soon, ascend the throne as emperor a few years later, and massacre the royal family.

Who would believe this when I say this? The Queen, unprecedented in ancient times and modern times, has caused a great scandal in the world.

However, this actually happened because this woman was Wu Zetian.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yanran said to the beautiful woman: "Mom, the current prime minister is Zhangsun Wuji, right?"

When the beautiful woman heard this name, a cold light flashed in her eyes, but it immediately disappeared without a trace.

He patted Li Yanran's head and said with a smile: "Little brat, if the prime minister isn't Changsun Wuji, how can he be someone else? You have to be respectful, so how can you call me by your first name?"

How long has this happened? Her life is about to be lost, and she still needs to use Zunli. It seems that her family may really be related to Changsun Wuji.

Li Yanran spoke again anxiously: "Auntie, have our family ever had an old relationship with Changsun Wuji, or have we been each other's cronies?"

According to history, in the fourth year of Xianqing, it was time for Empress Wu to take action against Changsun Wuji. If she didn't show her cards, it would be too late.

"Yanran, what happened to you today? Why are you suddenly concerned about this?"

The beautiful woman sensed something was wrong. In the past, Li Yanran seldom spoke due to her serious illness. The most she did all day long was read a book or sit on the swing in a daze.

Why are you so weird today? Not only do you talk too much, but everything you say is so deviant.

"Auntie, I know what I say next may be surprising to you, but I hope you can believe me.

If you really don’t want to leave Chang’an and go to the countryside, then please ask your father to immediately draw a clear line with Changsun Wuji and move closer to the queen, otherwise disaster will come.”

The beautiful woman's expression changed when she heard this. She looked at Li Yanran seriously and said, "Yanran, who taught you this? If someone confuses you, tell me and she will not spare him."

Looking at A Niang, Li Yanran couldn't help but shuddered.

She glanced at herself while trembling, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I am only nine years old now. In my previous life, I was only a third-grade primary school student when I was nine years old. It is really difficult for others to believe me.

But no matter how difficult it was, she had to fight for it, otherwise her advantageous father would fall into the wrong camp and be purged by Wu Zetian.

At such a young age, she had to drink another bowl of Meng Po soup.

"Auntie, no one is trying to trick me behind my back. This is what I think about when I read a book."

Li Yanran rolled her eyes and immediately thought of rhetoric,

Books can enlighten people's minds and teach people. It's okay to put it in books and temporarily fool them.

The beautiful woman nodded perfunctorily, and she would investigate the matter later to find out who was behind her daughter's plans.

If there really is someone, then what does she want to see about the other person?

Now that everything was uncertain, she wanted to hear what her daughter said she had learned from books.

"Then tell me why you want your father to draw a clear line with Changsun Wuji. You must know that he is a veteran of two dynasties, and he is the closest uncle of the emperor today.

If your father moves closer to him, he will definitely gain greater power and more benefits.

On the other hand, the queen is just a member of the harem, and there is no strong support behind her, so what's the use of taking refuge in her, and she can't control the affairs of the court."

Li Yanran smiled slightly, not afraid that you wouldn't believe it, but just afraid that you wouldn't ask.

Now as long as you are interested, the rest is up to you.
