Actually, when her grandfather Shangguan Yi was killed, Shangguan Waner was still very young. At this point, she still doesn't know the deep-seated reasons for the changes in her family. Shangguan Waner and her mother were sent to the court since childhood. Although life here is very bitter, Shangguan Waner never gave up enriching herself. The influence of her childhood family made her very different from the people around her. With her cleverness, she went to a private school. When her husband asks questions, she always says nothing, which shows her cleverness. At the same time, she didn't give up practicing calligraphy. Her handwriting is also beautiful and has great personality. She knows that Wu Zetian appreciates people who write well in calligraphy and hopes to be reused one day.
Things slowly reached the ears of Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian summoned Shangguan Waner out of curiosity. She gave questions on the spot, and Shangguan Waner answered them one by one. Wu Zetian exultation, Ye Ting can also produce such talent, this Shangguan Waner is by no means a thing in the pool, not as good as for their own use, so Wu Zetian named Waner "mistress" and was in charge of imperial edicts in the palace.
Actually, it stands to reason that Wu Zetian should be afraid of Wan'er, but she saved Wan'er from Yiting out of love, and when she killed Shangguan Yi's family, because Wan'er was young, she spared Wan'er. Shangguan Waner should be grateful to himself. Wan'er won't lose all the fate of the whole family. You know, killing you is implicating Jiuzu.
