Chapter 154 Empress, Wu Lang Huan_1
Elderly Mrs. Xiao obviously doted on the long-haired beauty, stroking her head affectionately as she chuckled, "You, girl, are wonderful in many ways, just overly curious."
"Grandma, please tell me, I want to know about Empress Wu Meiniang’s story."
"Wu Meiniang? Ha, that’s a misnomer passed down erroneously through later generations. Wu Zhao was just a secretary serving beside Li Shimin. Although she held the rank of Zhao Yi, she was never favored by Li Shimin."
"Why, wasn’t it said that Wu Zhao was a beauty with natural grace, a rare find in the world?" After a pause, the long-haired beauty whispered, "Li Shimin was so lecherous, when he met our family’s ancestor, even at the age of over fifty, he still harbored ill intentions and coveted her beauty."
"The matters of our ancestor, what nonsense are you chewing with that young tongue?" Elderly Mrs. Xiao glared at the long-haired beauty and continued, "Wu Zhao, whose birth name was Wu Wuhao, was the second daughter of Wu Shihui. Speaking of the Wu Family, who knows what fortune their ancestors came across, for them to bear two remarkable women."
"A family producing two remarkable women? One is Empress Wu Wuhao, who is the other?"
"Empress, Wu Laosha!"
"Empress?" The long-haired beauty seemed very interested in the title and eagerly asked, "Grandma, who is this empress? Why is there no mention of her name in history?"
