"Aniang."

Li Yanran turned around, looked at her longing mother-in-law, and immediately shouted sweetly.

"Have you missed Grandma?" Wu Zetian scraped the bridge of Li Yanran's nose with her hand, her eyes filled with a look of love that was rare to see.

Li Yanran started to act cute, hugged the other person's arm and said, "Yanran thinks about her day and night. She even dreams about grandma."

"Mom, eat plums."

With a soft tongue and short hands when taking advantage of others, Li Yanran used her best treasures to please her own mother.

"You have a sweet mouth, you glutton. Look what I brought you."

Wu Zetian looked at the plums in Li Yanran's hand, smiled directly, and then opened the food box she brought.

Looking at the apricots in the food box, which were as big as apples and as colored as gold, Li Yanran instantly felt that the plums in her hands no longer smelled good.

She could understand the huge gap between people, but they were all apricots, so could they be classified as high or low?

Besides, Xing could grow so big, which she had never heard of in later generations. It was really a long time since she was alive.

"This is a golden apricot, much better than what you usually eat."

Wu Zetian picked up a golden apricot and handed it to Li Yanran's hand.

"Auntie, Yanran, don't eat this."

Li Yanran waved her hand to refuse, then wiped the plum on her body and took a bite.

"Why? Auntie found this specially for you."

Wu Zetian's face was full of doubts. She originally thought that the other party would be ecstatic when he saw the golden apricot, but unexpectedly she waited for an answer without eating it.

"Auntie, these golden apricots are extraordinary at first sight. If I eat this, then ordinary yellow apricots will taste like chewing gum. If I can't buy them in the future, there will be no fun in eating apricots.

Although I don’t want to eat it, I still want to thank my mother for thinking about it. I can just eat this.”

Li Yanran pushed the golden apricot back into Wu Zetian's hands. She didn't want to give up an entire forest just because of a tree. That would be too worthless.

"So that's it. Don't worry, although this golden apricot is rare, it is not a rare treasure. If you really like it, I will have someone send it to you regularly in the future.

Although our family is not considered to be a top-notch family, we can’t even take care of my daughter’s apricots.”

The more Wu Zetian looked at Li Yanran, the more she liked her. After she recovered from her illness, she fell in love with her daughter even more. He was so much like her, so much like her childhood self, smart and smart!

"Then my daughter, thank you so much."

Hearing Wu Zetian's promise, Li Yanran smiled sweetly, grabbed the golden apricot and started to eat it happily.

"Is it tasty?"

Wu Zetian looked at Li Yanran and couldn't help but want to laugh. She looked like herself in every way, but her mouth was so nice.

This is not good and must be changed in the future.

"Auntie, this golden apricot is truly the best among apricots."

Li Yanran solved a golden apricot in three strokes, five divided by two, and Wu Zetian took out a handkerchief and wiped it carefully for her.

"Okay, Yanran, eat and eat. I have something to ask you."

"Auntie, does it mean that dad doesn't agree with his daughter's wishes and wants to draw a clear line with Prime Minister Changsun Wuji?"

Li Yanran looked at Wu Zetian and sighed in her heart,

Alas, children have no human rights, and the cheap dad still doesn’t believe in himself. It’s so difficult.

"That's right, our Li family has a deep relationship with Prime Minister Changsun Wuji. How can we separate them easily?"

Wu Zetian was stunned when she heard this, but she immediately reacted and followed Li Yanran's words.

"In this case, we can only find ways to ensure the safety of Lord Changsun Wuji. Otherwise, once Prime Minister Changsun Wuji falls, I am afraid that our family will also suffer."

Wu Zetian's eyes lit up. He looked at Li Yanran and wondered what good ideas she had in her little head: "How to ensure the safety of Prime Minister Changsun Wuji? You can tell me about it."

Li Yanran took out another plum from her arms and put it in her mouth. Wu Zetian also picked up a golden apricot and took a bite.

"Auntie, as I told you that time, if your Majesty really wants to take action against Prime Minister Changsun Wuji, he must first paralyze the Prime Minister and remove him from the court.

The first thing we have to do is to warn Prime Minister Changsun Wuji that he must not take over the task of compiling the history of the Tang Dynasty under any circumstances and must not separate his heart from the court."

Li Yanran took a plum and revealed the most critical first step.

"It's too late for you to say that. Zhongshu ordered Li Yifu to write to His Majesty to compile the history of the Tang Dynasty. His Majesty also said that he had dreamed many times that Emperor Taizong wanted to do this.

Xu Jingzong, the minister of Zhongshu, took the initiative to apply, but the ministers thought that the Prime Minister was the most suitable for this matter. Finally, Your Majesty spoke, and the Prime Minister had already accepted the appointment."

Wu Zetian glanced at Li Yanran, who was pacing in front of her, with a hint of expectation in her eyes. She wanted to see how you could defeat her plan.

"This is troublesome, this is troublesome."

After hearing this, Li Yanran's little face twisted together as if she had eaten bitter melon.

Wu Gu was indeed Empress Wu. She didn't expect to take action so quickly, and the move was just as she had guessed. It was an unsolvable killing move. This was the emperor's order and the late emperor's dream. How could Changsun Wuji deal with it?

.

"Auntie, Prime Minister Changsun Wuji may still be hesitant about this matter. His Majesty is definitely waiting and watching and will not attack. They will wait.

Wait until Prime Minister Changsun Wuji has completely given up his hesitation before launching an attack, so we still have time, but now that we have lost the upper hand, we have to get ahead of His Majesty every step of the way."

A flash of light flashed in Li Yanran's eyes, and she said to Wu Zetian in front of her.

Wu Zetian also asked: "Then what should we do?"

"The Book of War says that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. Your Majesty and the Queen are both talented. Their literary, military and military strategies are not comparable to those of Yan Ran. We cannot know our enemies and can only know ourselves.

Dare I ask Auntie, besides Prime Minister Changsun Wuji, who are the other adults in our lineage in the court today?"

Li Yanran looked at Wu Zetian who looked expectant, and couldn't help but hesitate.

Her current identity is that of a child, a nine-year-old child. She knows some things, but she cannot tell them in too much detail, otherwise she may be suspected by her mother-in-law again.

Hey, she is now nine years old, worrying about things that are beyond her age, and she has to compete with Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian. She is really big.

"Um?"

"Oh! Due to the previous rebellion by Han Yuan and Laiji, Prime Minister Chu Suiliang has been demoted from Chang'an. If Prime Minister Changsun Wuji really concentrates on compiling the history of the Tang Dynasty,

Then the only people who can be called the pillars in the court are Prime Minister Changsun Wuji’s cousin Gao Xixi, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, and Mr. Sun Xiang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment.

Do you mean that His Majesty will take action against these two adults next?"

Wu Zetian's eyes lit up. She already understood what her daughter was thinking. She was worthy of being born to her. She was really smart. She was so smart.

"Auntie, it's like if I want to hit Lao Li, I have to clench my fists to punch, and Lao Li has to clench his fists to fight with me if he wants to resist.

My daughter has little knowledge and thinks that matters in court are the same as fighting between two people. If we want to ensure the stability of our faction, we must ensure that our two fists are always strong.

As my mother-in-law said, the two adults are our pillars. This must be seen by the wisdom of Your Majesty and the Queen. My daughter guesses that Your Majesty will definitely find a reason to take them down next, so we have to go with Your Majesty.

in front,

Without further ado, I would like to ask my mother to go quickly and let my father give me some advice, so that the two adults must hide their capabilities and bide their time during this period, and must not make any mistakes."

At this moment, Li Yanran felt that her adrenaline had reached 180. She hoped that nothing would happen again this time and that she would be able to hold on for a few more years so that she could run away with her parents when she grew up.

As for fighting against Emperor Gaozong, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, bah, you go ahead!

"Well, you are right. Yan'er, you can take the initiative to share your father's worries. My father and mother are very happy. What reward do you want?"

After listening to Li Yanran's words, Wu Zetian already had the answer in her heart. Looking at Li Yanran, her daughter was so outstanding and helped her solve a big problem, so she should be given some reward.

"If grandma really wants to reward me, then let me go out of the yard, even once a month. Yanran has never seen her father, and she has not been able to see grandma for a long time, and she has no other playmates.

I’m going crazy staying here.”

Hearing that Wu Zetian was going to give herself a reward, Li Yanran was stunned for a moment, then stared at her pitiful big eyes and expressed her thoughts in aggrieved manner.

"Don't be sad, Yanran. When father and mother are finished with their important work, we will definitely be able to see each other often. Since you want to go out, mother-in-law agrees."

Wu Zetian looked at Li Yanran with a trace of love in her eyes.

"Thank you, grandma. I am the most beautiful and best grandma in the world."

Li Yanran was so excited that she kissed Wu Zetian on the face.

"Okay, time is running out now, and I need to discuss it with your father quickly, so I'll leave first."

Wu Zetian held Li Yanran's head, kissed him gently on the forehead, then stood up and left.

"Zhou Xuan, please bring a few people to protect the safety of the young lady at all times. If something goes wrong, you know the consequences."

"My subordinates will definitely take good care of the young lady. Madam, please rest assured."

The carriage moved forward, leaving the small courtyard and heading towards the palace.

"Old Li, pack up and prepare to leave the house with me."
