Chapter 1, I became the son of Wu Zetian
Long live the Empress!
Another woman immediately muttered, "Seeing that he is already over one year old, the Empress naturally hopes to hear the Sixth Prince call for someone soon. It is said that the Fifth Prince only started speaking at the age of two, and regarding this matter, wasn't there quite a bit of gossip behind the scenes at first?"
As long as you call out "Mother," I have sweet cakes here for you
The astute individuals will never miss such a divinely bestowed opportunity for flattery and praise. At that moment, a palace maid knelt down and bowed her head, saying: "Congratulations, Your Highness, congratulations! His Highness happened to call out the words 'mother' just as you arrived; this is a heavenly omen, indicating that Your Highness is destined to ascend to the position of empress!"
He can still recall that peculiar taste and that long horse-like face. Fortunately, it was a wet nurse, not his biological mother; otherwise, he would truly have gone mad
With clear enunciation, a loud voice, and correct pronunciation. Upon seeing Wu turn around, he internally shouted success and immediately broke into a broad smile. As for the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs who were stunned into silence, he couldn't care less about them!
In the spacious room, drapes hung low, and on the innermost bed lay a child, delicate and beautiful, gazing upward. Two women, holding several exquisite trinkets, were coaxing the child with beaming smiles
Your Highness
Four words floated into his ears as he was lost in thought. Then he saw a group of lively young women entering, and he was momentarily taken aback. These two women had just been talking about something like 'Your Highness'; could it be that the newcomers were his biological mother?
From a broad perspective, the sight is filled with voluptuous women dressed in revealing attire, suggesting that this is likely the Tang Dynasty; however, it cannot be entirely ruled out that it is from a completely unfamiliar era. Yet, even if it is the Tang Dynasty, given the length of that historical period, which prince is he at this moment?
"Xian'er, what did you just call me? Please say it again"
Although he lay in bed, lost in his own thoughts, he could not help but hear the bickering between the two, which made him feel a wave of impatience. Looking at his delicate, finely manicured hands, he felt utterly helpless. When he woke up half a day ago and discovered this situation, he was nearly driven to madness. In a fit of rage, wanting to curse, the ultimate outcome was that he let out a heart-wrenching, deafening cry, only to have a swollen nipple stuffed into his mouth.

Oh my, he is actually Li Xian, the most unfortunate among Wu Zetian's four sons! Although he lamented inwardly, seeing his mother’s hopeful expression, he quickly opened his mouth and called out again.
Upon seeing this mother and the books, his expression darkened, and a hint of disappointment immediately appeared in his eyes. He couldn't help but want to call out to her, but what came out were nothing but meaningless murmurs. He quickly abandoned this futile effort and began to ponder deeply.
Seeing the woman in front of him turn pale, he felt a tightness all over his body, and he immediately became alert. It was already done; complaining and blaming the heavens would not help. The only way to change the situation was to take matters into his own hands. By the way, how many sons did his mother have? The last two at least had some fortune, but if he were the eldest or the second, he would truly be in a dire situation
As soon as he poked her twice with his finger, he sensed something was amiss. When he looked up, he saw her looking at him with a smile that was neither here nor there, and he immediately panicked, retracting his hand and sitting up straight, no longer daring to move. However, it wasn't long before he began to curse his own foolishness; which mother would mind her child's playful antics, especially when that child couldn't even speak yet
Your Highness, be good and call out to your mother!
The expression on the beautiful woman's face clearly softened, and he felt a few gentle pats on his back. In return, he immediately chuckled with a creaking sound. Adults are most defenseless against the smiles of children, and this indeed had an effect. The beautiful woman's face showed surprise, but she turned to the person next to her and asked, "Can he call someone now?"
He guessed right. This time, Wu lifted him up in one swift motion and planted a firm kiss on his cheek. As her soft lips touched his face, an overwhelming surge of boundless passion suddenly welled up in his heart
This time, he called out louder and clearer than before, extending both hands outward.
Her temples were neatly arranged, with several hairpins adorned with flowers shimmering brightly on top. In the center was a hair crown, and her hair was very neat, exuding a pleasant fragrance. The hands that embraced him were very fair, with a texture that was both smooth and delicate, clearly accustomed to a life of luxury. The towering curves appeared equally soft and elastic, and out of curiosity, he reached out with his chubby little hand.
He turned his head curiously and saw a eunuch-like fellow rushing in in a state of agitation, immediately perking up his ears
This ... ... Your Majesty, please forgive me
He felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck him, leaving him completely stunned. He did not know who Han Yuan was, but he was more than familiar with the names of Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang. So, this beautiful woman before him was none other than the renowned Wu Zetian, the infamous and ruthless empress of her time
After a long time without any response, a woman at www.hetushu.com couldn't help but complain to another: "Why are you being so verbose? As long as you call out to His Highness a few more times every day, he will naturally say it when the time comes!"
Seeing the beautiful woman smiling broadly as she carried him to the bed and showed no signs of putting him down, he tentatively reached for her neck, babbling incoherently, straining to control the muscles of his new throat. Unfortunately, he still couldn't manage to utter a single word. Since he had unfortunately crossed over to such a dark place, how could he possibly live on in the future if he couldn't even win his mother's affection?
Mother!
Greetings, Your Majesty
At that moment, the woman with a horse-like face stepped forward to take him from Wu's hands. Just as she was about to get up and leave, in a moment of desperation, his previously uncontrollable tongue seemed to suddenly regain its function, and he instinctively blurted out two words.
Oh heavens, why must you make me a child who cannot even speak!
Someone took the lead, and the others were certainly not fools; thus, a large number of people in the room knelt down, all showering compliments. He clearly saw his mother's expression change from a stormy frown to overcast, then to partly cloudy, and finally to sunny. Observing this situation, he immediately understood the dynamics and continued to act cute, smiling even more cheerfully.
This is not a matter of books; this person has a total of four sons, two of whom she has killed, and the remaining two are also nearly driven to death by her. Good heavens, are you blind? How could you let me have such a mother? Am I not courting death!
As a pair of hands reached out, he felt himself being lifted. It was not the wet nurse with ample bosom, but a beautiful woman exuding a mature charm. Observing how others stepped back several paces, not daring to look up, along with her splendid attire, it was evident that his mother held considerable authority.
Boom
These two women are incessantly enticing him, calling him "Your Majesty." Could it be that he has somehow found himself in a royal palace from some bygone era, having become a prince? The kind of scenario one only encounters in novels is now unfolding in his own life; truly, the heavens are opening their eyes! He desperately wants to display a grimacing expression, but upon realizing that he currently has no teeth, he is instantly filled with sorrow and indignation
Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, and Han Yuan have once again confronted His Majesty. They firmly oppose the deposing of the Empress and also resist the establishment of the Consort as Empress. In the court, they have made loud and harsh statements, uttering some very unpleasant words
A nearby palace maid immediately flattered, "Your Highness, His Royal Highness is so adorable; at such a young age, he already knows how to be close to his mother!"
What happened to Wu Zetian? As long as he is willing to put in the effort, there is no reason for him to end up in a situation where he is lamenting about picking melons!
