Chapter 1209
"Zetian, I heard you're getting married?"
The next day, Wu Zetian's good friend Xu Yingying came to visit.
"Mm." Wu Zetian nodded gently. "I am indeed getting married. I'm afraid I won't be able to play with you in the future."
"Is it the Emperor?" Xu Yingying asked.
Wu Zetian shook her head: "No, you should know later. If I say it now, you probably won't believe me."
"If you don't say it, how do you know I won't believe you?"
Xu Yingying was speechless, finding Wu Zetian somewhat strange.
"Miss, it's time to try on the wedding dress!"
Suddenly, the maid outside called out.
Wu Zetian responded and said: "Yingying, I'll go try on the clothes first."
"I want to see too!"
Xu Yingying's eyes brightened, and she stood up.
Wu Zetian gave a helpless smile and had no choice but to agree.
Anyway, Xu Yingying was a woman too.
【1209-15】
When Wu Zetian appeared before Xu Yingying again, she was stunned.
The young girl before her was bright and beautiful, with a graceful figure, and every movement was full of temptation, just like a fairy.
Set off by the red wedding dress, she was radiant and peerless.
Even as a woman, Xu Yingying couldn't take her eyes off her.
"Zetian, you're so beautiful today!"
"I don't know who has the good fortune to marry you as his wife!"
Wu Zetian gave a light laugh and said: "Yingying, you're too exaggerated!"
"Miss, there are a few more sets of clothes; do you want to try them?"
"Let's try them."
Wu Zetian didn't refuse; instead, she was very proactive.
In "Supreme Beauty," she was portrayed as an unstained white lotus, with all the evil deeds Wu Zetian committed in history transferred to Xu Yingying.
This fit the aesthetic of most people.
Otherwise, if the female lead were incredibly vicious and did disgusting things every day, would the TV show still have ratings?
But in fact, Wu Zetian was not a person without schemes.
Living in a large family, how could she really be like a white lotus?
She naturally possessed the schemes that ordinary people have.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have eventually become an empress.
Fully utilizing her appearance was naturally one of her little schemes.
This was also the only thing she could do at this stage.
After all, the future fate was uncertain, and this was all she could grasp.
It must be said that a beautiful person looks good in whatever they wear.
The several sets of wedding dresses she changed into afterward fully displayed Wu Zetian's figure, making Xu Yingying and Madam Wu, who was watching from the side, incredibly satisfied.
"Good! Zetian, I have nothing to say about your appearance. However, for us women, the most important thing is to be gentle as water. When you get there, don't throw tantrums, otherwise, others might not
necessarily tolerate you."
Wu Zetian nodded gently: "Mother, I understand."
Xu Yingying helped with the makeup and said: "Madam, Zetian is so gentle, she will definitely be very liked by her husband's family."
Three days passed in a flash.
The Wu family's affairs had long spread throughout Chang'an.
Due to the rush, the things the Wu family prepared were not particularly complete; they only prepared the finest silks and satins, pearls, and jade ornaments.
As for cutting the silk into clothes, that was absolutely impossible to do.
It was only three days; how many clothes could be made?
Even so, Chang'an City was shocked by the Wu family's extravagance.
The dowry procession, which stretched for several miles, was simply extremely luxurious.
"The Wu family is truly rich!"
"Not just rich, they even have Thousand-Bull Guards escorting them; I don't know which family has the good fortune to marry a daughter of the Wu family. Just this dowry alone would be enough to make him a local tycoon."
"Isn't it the Emperor?"
"No."
Looking at the dowry procession, there was much discussion in Chang'an City.
Suddenly, the sky became bright; although it was morning, it was brighter than noon.
Everyone looked up and saw a white light in the sky.
Amidst the white radiance, giant blue birds soared into the sky.
On one blue bird, a woman with fluttering ribbons looked down, her voice crisp, spreading throughout all of Chang'an.
"The Wu family has a daughter, Zetian, summoned by the Great Luo Heaven of the Taixuan Realm; is she willing to go?"
Wu Zetian lifted the sedan curtain, looked at the sky, her expression excited, and responded: "I am willing to go!"
Lingxi nodded gently, moved her thoughts, and the blue bird landed on the ground, taking over the task of the dowry procession, placing the many dowries on its back, and flew up again.
A blue bird came before Wu Zetian, lifted her with immortal power, and placed her on its back.
That blue bird was extremely huge, with a flat area of more than ten square meters on its back, enough for people to stand on.
Although these birds were not giant beasts, they were considered divine birds, and using them in an ordinary world was quite a spectacle.
"So Zetian was going to marry an immortal?"
In the wedding procession, Xu Yingying was stunned...
"No wonder she wouldn't say. Even if she had said it, I couldn't have believed it!"
At this moment, she finally felt the fantasy of the situation, which was far beyond her imagination.
"Wu Shihuo, Madam Wu, for your merit in raising a daughter, I return the gift of two Longevity Pills, the first four volumes of the Yin-Yang Creation Scripture, and the authorization to travel to and from the Earth Immortal Realm."
Lingxi waved her hand again, and several streams of light flew out, landing before Wu Shihuo and Madam Wu.
The techniques and authorization had no physical form and were directly imprinted into their minds.
Only the two Longevity Pills were fixed before them.
Wu Shihuo and Madam Wu looked at each other and simultaneously looked at the sky, bowing in thanks: "Thank you, Daoist Lord."
Having said that, they took the pills.
The next moment, their appearances changed rapidly.
From middle-aged people, they instantly recovered to the appearance of a young man and woman.
The people at the scene were stunned.
Longevity pills; such extraordinary things had actually appeared in the world.
"Li Shimin has merit to the country; I bestow a Longevity Pill and the first four volumes of the Dragon Divine Art."
Lingxi waved her hand, and two more streams of light flew out, appearing before Li Shimin; one stream of light merged into his body, and one stream revealed its form, which was exactly a pill.
"Thank you, Daoist Lord, for the reward!"
Lingxi did not respond to Li Shimin.
No matter how high his status or how noble his position, it didn't matter.
She was a follower of Zhang Taixuan, so there was naturally no need to take others to heart.
"Return to the Taixuan Realm!"
