Chapter 56 A little regret

(Thank you for Xiaoyao's homeless man, for the rewards of our Han and Tang dynasties, brother Fei Xu! There is another update after twelve o'clock, and we will strive for the fourth update tomorrow! Please vote in Sanjiang, recommend votes, collections, and rewards!)

After Chen Yi finished speaking, he was nervously waiting for possible reprimands.

However, his worries were finally redundant. Wu Zetian was not angry, and even smiled a lot on his face. He still looked at Chen Yi with an inquiring look. After carefully examining, he turned his face and said to Sun Simiao who was looking at this side indifferently: "I have completely believed what Master Sun said today. This son is not an ordinary person, and there will be something surprising in the future!"

Wu Zetian said, then swept Chen Yi's face again, withdrew a little bit of surprise on her face, walked back to the hall with her body straightened, and sat down shortly. Tuan'er, who looked at all this in surprise, breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't understand why the Queen would tolerate a person without a status gaze like this.

Sun Simiao looked at Chen Yi, then Wu Zetian, and smiled and said, "The Empress knows people like a torch, and she also sees the unusualness of this son!"

When Chen Yi felt a little sweaty when he heard Wu Zetian and Sun Simiao praise him like this, he received such praise when he first met Wu Zetian. It seemed that it was not a good thing. Chen Yi believed that Wu Zetian, a powerful woman, would not have such a simple mind. She would definitely ask questions and ask him a lot of things, including his identity, where to learn from. But Chen Yi has not yet fully figured out his identity, and he doesn't know how to answer. He must not be able to make excuses in front of Wu Zetian.

Chen Yi glanced at Sun Simiao and hoped that the old man would not say anything surprising that he could not get out of the table.

Sun Simiao was an elder, a very famous and respected elder. On that day, Wu Zetian did not care about his identity and personally invited him to the inn, which shows the status of Sun Laodao in the eyes of the royal family. Such a respected Taoist person naturally had no such taboos in front of Wu Zetian, and could speak casually, and praise him for a person without status, and even if he said it wrong, he could find reasons to explain it. But for Chen Yi, that was not that simple, and he didn't even know how to explain himself!

Of course, it is not okay to show arrogance, but it is too modest, and it seems like slapping Sun Simiao in the face, which may even make Wu Zetian uncomfortable. How to speak makes Sun Simiao look down on him without making Wu Zetian look down on him is really a difficult problem.

In fact, what Chen Yi was thinking was not completely correct. What he didn't know was that Wu Zetian sent someone several times to invite Sun Simiao to the palace to treat the emperor and promised an official position, but the miraculous doctor refused for various reasons and was unwilling to come and refused all rewards. Although Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, as the emperor and queen, were angry, they had no choice but to dare to use force, so they could only send people to invite him and do a good job. In the end, Sun Simiao changed his mind and agreed to go to the palace for treatment. In order to express gratitude and to show his face, Wu Zetian was willing to despise him. On the day the old Taoist arrived in Chang'an, she went to the inn to invite him. She was also angry for a while and felt that she had lost her face and scolded the palace servants around her.

However, after Sun Simiao entered the palace to treat the emperor, the emperor's condition improved, which made Wu Zetian not angry with Sun Simiao and treated him more and more politely. Even Sun Simiao recommended Chen Yi, a young man who had not dried up and came from Yuezhou, did not express any unhappiness, and agreed readily when she would summon Chen Yi to ask.

Of course, one of the important reasons why Wu Zetian summoned Chen Yi to the palace today was Helan Minzhi's explanation. Chen Yi easily cured Wu Shun's disease and slapped the imperial physicians in the face. Helan Minzhi said that Chen Yi's literary talent and martial arts were good. She had always loved talent and summoned Chen Yi to the palace when she had free time and asked Sun Simiao, who was still diagnosing the emperor's illness in the palace.

However, when I first met Chen Yi today, she was quite surprised. She couldn't even hide her surprise and showed it.

Before Chen Yi could think about how to be humble, Wu Zetian spoke again: "Your medical skills, Master Sun can praise you. My sister, Mrs. Han, was also cured by you. It is amazing. The imperial physicians in the palace are helpless! And..." Wu Zetian did not talk much about Chen Yi's medical skills, because she wanted to understand the matter carefully and asked Chen Yi in person. Today, she didn't want to say much in front of Sun Simiao, and immediately turned the topic to another aspect. "Chen Yi, I have heard Minzhi say that you wrote a song "Youth Travel" in Zuixianlou that day. Your literary talent is very good, and it won the surprise and recognition of everyone present. Is there such a thing?"

"This is just a random act of the common people that day, writing a little bit of the mentality of a frivolous young man, which made the Empress laugh!" Chen Yi kind of complained about Helan Minzhi's coming. This guy was too verbally speaking, why did he tell Wu Zetian everything about it?

"You recite this poem and let me listen to it!" Wu Zetian's eyes flashed with a strange light. She heard Helan Minzhi say the content of the whole poem. Originally, she was just a little curious about the literary talent of the author of the poem, but after meeting Chen Yi, her curiosity became stronger and she couldn't help asking for it. She is also a person who loves poetry and prose very much, and she likes to recite a few sentences every day.

Chen Yi had to bite the bullet and recite the full text of the stolen "Youth Travel", and repeatedly stated that this was just a little bit of his feelings after traveling to Chang'an that day. He was the expression of his youthful recklessness. He also asked Wu Zetian not to laugh at him. Of course, he was just afraid that Wu Zetian would interrogate some details about this poem, such as rhymes, and so on, so he might not be able to answer them perfectly.

According to historical records, Wu Zetian's literary talent is also very good. After Li Shimin passed away, she impressed Li Zhi with a poem about "unboxing and checking pomegranate skirts", and was able to return to the palace and eventually accomplish her miracle.

Women who can impress the emperor Li Zhi's poems will naturally not be poor, and their understanding of poetry is better than that of ordinary people.

In fact, looking at any famous figure in ancient times, both men and women, their talents and knowledge are very outstanding. If they are not good at learning, they will never be able to leave a reputation in history. Even women are the same. What is the use of being beautiful? If there is no talent, a vase-like figure cannot be left in history!

"It's a pity that you did not show the youthful madness in the poem in front of me! Haha!" Wu Zetian smiled and joked. She seemed to be considering Sun Simiao being by the side and was entangled in the poem. Instead, she immediately changed the subject, "I also heard that you had a conflict with Wu Sansi, Wu Chengsi and others because of the matter, and finally had a force against each other?"

"Ah...this?! Even the Empress knows this!" Chen Yi was stunned. Wu Zetian's topic changed too quickly, so his thinking could not keep up. He could not think of how to answer it at once! In front of Wu Zetian, many things could not be easily answered by yes or no, but she must know this, and she can only admit it! She doesn't know what Wu Zetian will say next, whether to blame or accommodate!

Wu Zetian showed a playful smile on his lips, "You did not suffer any loss in the end, was that true?"

"Fortunately thanks to Mr. Helan's help that day, he was able to escape with Master Sun's disciple Ning Qing!" Chen Yi was a little embarrassed.

"There are all the scholars who are both civil and military enemies. They are really people with both civil and military talents. Why haven't such a person recommended to me before?" Wu Zetian sighed and then said in a shocking tone: "You are such an outstanding person, you must have performed in Yuezhou. Why hasn't anyone recommended you to the court?" As he said that, Wu Zetian stared at Chen Yi with her gaze that seemed to be able to see through, full of inquiries, as if he had asked Chen Yi specifically what he said just now.

Chen Yi was startled and quickly replied: "When I came back to Chang'an, I fell off a cliff and was injured due to an accident. I couldn't remember many things, and my followers were also separated. It was really difficult to explain the past clearly..."

Chen Yi stopped halfway after explaining, because he saw some pretty palace maid who had gone out easily walked to Wu Zetian with a serious look on his face. After talking to Wu Zetian for a few words, he stepped down.

Wu Zetian's face immediately became serious, and he waved his hand to stop Chen Yi who was still going to continue talking: "Chen Yi, go first. I have something to do. I will call you into the palace in two days and ask about medical affairs!"

"Yes! Empress, that little guy takes his leave!" Chen Yi, who felt relaxed suddenly, but was a little regretful, immediately bowed and retreated.
