Chapter 67 The Holy Face

Wang Hua was confused, what fairy? I am a man, don’t treat me as the Zhang brothers. But so many people looked at them and sent her away quickly. He replied: “I don’t want to do it either. Now that the lacquerware is at the critical moment. But His Majesty passed the oral order to let me attend this banquet.”

"It turns out that this is the reason. You have passed the test. I thought it was because of something else. Fortunately, I didn't disappoint me." As she said that, she stroked her chest, smiled and left.

Wang Hua understood her meaning, saying that since she was staying in the farm at that time, she had not allowed her to stay for long, if she came to ask Zhang Yizhi now, she would definitely feel unbalanced, disappointed, and maybe angry in her heart.

But Miss, you can’t speak like this. If you can’t speak clearly, isn’t it easy for people to misunderstand?

Fortunately, I stayed at this deviant angle. I didn’t know the young men next to me. I guess it was not much better than me, depending on my clothes. I guessed that his deviant angle was basically the unsatisfactory scholars in the Guanhe Mansion.

That's it, these scholars also focused their attention on him, and some were puzzled and some were jealous.

This made Wang Hua feel powerless again.

But at this time, many people stood up, Wang Hua looked up, and the two old men walked in. One of them, Wang Hua knew, was at the edge of the Tianhe River, and he met one of Di Renjie. But he didn't know his name. But now many people began to say hello to them. Ji Shilang, Wei Shilang. Wang Hua had a flash of inspiration in his mind, knowing who the old man was, Ji Xu, this man once played an important role in Wu Zetian's court in his later years.

Now Ji Xu has been moved to the Heavenly Official Secretariat, and he has become the prime minister. But another old man is still ahead of him. Needless to say, in the court, except Di Renjie, the second-ranked official influential position, Fengge Secretariat, and Pingzhang. These two people are fat and thin, the fat is Wei Yuanzhong and Ji Xu is thin. But they are also rare direct officials in the court now.

Unexpectedly, these two people also came to this banquet. It was really a feast, Wang Hua thought with a wry smile.

With the arrival of these two people, the main actor finally appeared.

The two father-in-law carefully held the corner of their clothes, and an old lady walked in with great enthusiasm.

She is not too old, at least from her appearance, but at the age of fifty, she is still covered with fat red on her cheeks. The most rare thing is that she has black hair and her horoscope eyebrows. In fact, this is the most strange thing about her. She had white hair, but she suddenly had black hair a few years ago, and even her teeth grew back. According to the current Wu calendar, in the twelfth month of this year, she was reborn in the eight-character eyebrows again, and all officials congratulated her.

Needless to say, this person is Wu Zetian.

Wang Hua looked at it secretly. Wu Zetian is seventy-five years old this year, but her actual age is not visible from her appearance. Moreover, she can still see her pretty appearance when she was young from her aging face.

On the back of Wu Zetian, there was a female official standing, a young woman with a petite face and a red palace outfit. She was also extremely beautiful. And there was a red mark between her eyebrows. Wang Hua thought to herself, if it was good, this female official would be Shangguan Wan'er. It seemed that she was in her thirties, but she still couldn't find the wind and frost of time on her face. She looked like she was only in her twenties.

This young woman is not only beautiful, but also has amazing talent. However, she stayed in the deep palace for a long time. Although she had mastered the power, she was finally lost in the eyes of power. Wang Hua sighed, a pity.

He turned his gaze to the left of Wu Zetian again. This was also a young woman, but unlike Shangguan Wan'er's petite and delicate, this young woman was slightly rich, with a mountain bun, and looked very capable. But she looked very charming and charming, with a jade nose, bright eyes, wearing a goose yellow silk shirt, and now she was half-rolled and hidden on her pink arms, revealing her white jade-like pink shoulders. If you guessed correctly, this young woman was another romantic figure in the Tang Dynasty, the famous Princess Taiping.

Because Wu Zetian killed her biological daughter because she killed her own daughter, she seemed to have apologized to Princess Taiping. Wu Zetian was very spoiled for this daughter throughout her life.

During her first marriage, she married Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Xue Shao, the second son of Princess Chengyang. The wedding was held at Wannian County Pavilion near Chang'an. The scene was very luxurious. The lighting torches even burned the trees along the way. In order to allow the wide wedding car to pass, the walls of the county Pavilion had to be demolished. Wu Zetian loved her daughter very much. She believed that Xue Shao's sister-in-law Xiao and Cheng were not noble enough and wanted to force the Xue family to divorce their wives. Some people came from the Xiao family in Lanling, but were not a poor family.

The persuasion made her give up this plan. In the first marriage, Princess Taiping was still quite stable, but Xue Shao was implicated in the rebellion of the Tang royal family Li Chong, and Wu Zetian ordered Xue Yan to be executed. Xue Shao was punished by a hundred sticks and starved to death in prison. At that time, Princess Taiping was still pregnant with her and Xue Shao's fourth child. Afterwards, in order to comfort her daughter, Wu Zetian broke the convention that Princess Tang could only have 350 households and added her escort households to 1,200 households.

So Princess Tai remarried Wu Youji again. At this time, Princess Taiping had changed her personality because of her first marriage. In addition, Xiao Wu was a good old man and was willing to be a turtle hat man. Princess Taiping's life finally became unruly.

Wang Hua also saw it. She was accompanied by a middle-aged man wearing a yellow shirt. If she guessed correctly, it was her husband Wu Youji. Wang Hua took a peek at him. In fact, this Comrade Dawu looks equally good. Unfortunately, Wang Hua sighed again.

On the right side of Wu Zetian were two young men. Wang Hua finally understood the reason why Prime Minister Yang Zaisi exaggerated that Changzong was a lotus like Liu Lang. There were such men in the world! If you talk about beauty, Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er were already considered top-notch beauty, but compared with these two young men, they were just comparable. You must know that they were the same man! Wang Hua probably would have a little disguise and dressed up as a woman. After going to the street, they would definitely fascinate countless lustful people.

These two brothers were talking to Wu Zetian. It seemed that Wu Zetian heard it very well, and her face was filled with smiles.

Seeing Wu Zetian walking in, all the guests stood up and said, "Long live His Majesty the Emperor."

Wang Hua had to stand up, but he made a very disrespectful move, his mouth seemed to be moving, but no sound came out. However, at this time, no one paid attention to him.

Wu Zetian waved his hand and said, "I'll be dear, please don't give me any gifts."

Zhuke sat down, which was the only thing Wang Hua agreed with. At this time, when meeting officials, or even the emperor, there was no need to kneel down at any time.

Under the guidance of the servants of Zhang's mansion, Wu Zetian came to the master's seat.

At this time, the table was not the large square table or round table in Wang Hua's previous life, but like a short-footed coffee table, with an oblique angle extending on both sides. Generally, a longer person can sit down two to three people, while a shorter person can sit down only one person. The chair is worse than a Hu Sou, nor is it a chair in later generations. It is a bit like a short footstool in later generations, but the surface area is wider and some are very long. However, at this time, a large table appeared, rectangular, but it is also very short, and is rarely used in regular banquets.

Therefore, such chairs and tables occupy a larger area. Today, there are many guests coming to Zhang's house. Of course, there are more than servants, and they are not qualified to sit down. But there are at least nearly 200 guests. However, the living room of Zhang's house is also huge and luxurious, almost like a small auditorium. Except for the main seat placed horizontally on the main seat, the other chairs and tables are arranged in eight straight lines, facing the main seat, and neatly arranged vertically on both sides of the main seat.

Wu Zetian also came to the master's seat to sit down. This was a family banquet, and there were not so many cumbersome etiquettes.

She raised her glass and first toast everyone.

The guests stood up again and responded.

Most people were still very happy at this banquet today. No matter how reliable the swearing was, there were probably no other changes in the past few years. Of course, the happiest one was the children of the Li clan. This time, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least I would not live the worried life I used to be.

But Li Guer was very playful. She looked at Wang Hua who was sitting in a declining corner and saw that he was sitting there like an old monk. It was a bit funny, so she raised her glass of wine, meaning that I would like to toast you a glass of wine.

Li Xian's family sat next to Wu Zetian, as the crown prince, no matter whether he had the power of the crown prince or not, his status was still the second most noble in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Wu Zetian saw Li Guer's little movement. With the help of countless huge candles lit in the living room, she looked in the direction of Li Guer's toast. It was a deviant angle, which was the innermost row at the corner of the wall. A young man was sitting in a thick long gown, but the boy didn't feel shy and looked calm.
