Chapter Fourteen Tears on the Clothes
"The jade flute waves for three or two,
Before the tune becomes, there is emotion.
The clear spring pipe is astringent and cold,
Only when I see the crooked hairpin is silent.”
The music and singing of the night made Queen Changsun sleep uneasy all night. After a night, not only was the anger not curbed, but it was also in anger. There were many women in the place where there were many right and wrong. Concubine Xiao blew the Xiao all night, and the whole harem was in turmoil. The emperor also presented this poem to Concubine Xiao, which really made Queen Wang even more angry. In the morning, Li Zhi went to the morning court with two huge dark circles. The Queen in the harem, according to etiquette, had to come to the Queen Guard to pay his respects every morning. Today, Concubine Xiao actually spent a good night with the emperor last night and was too tired to pay his respects. Queen Wang was a lady from a wealthy family after all, and was a descendant of a country. Fortunately, she controlled her mood and no longer cared about it...
"I'm going to leave! The Empress is a thousand years old!" The concubines also looked at the face of Queen Wang and said nothing, and they retreated consciously...
"Concubine Xiao Shu! Not only did she occupy the emperor for one night yesterday! She played the flute! Her ears were about to explode! The harem was not peaceful, so what should I do if the queen is the one!" Queen Wang sat down angrily, and Cui'er, the close palace maid, also came forward to slowly comfort her master:
"Empress! Don't be angry! For this kind of fox charm! It's not worth getting angry! If you get angry, it's not to hurt your relatives, but the enemy will be happy! The Empress will always be the Empress who is the mother of the world! It's the Lord of the Six Palaces! What if Concubine Xiao Shu is favored? Whoever laughs to the end is the winner!" Cui'er also slowly comforted Queen Wang, and Queen Wang's face changed slightly...
"You are wrong! Flowers are not red for a hundred days! Although I am still the noble queen! I am old and weak! How can I compare to the beautiful and beautiful fox boy who is in the magnificent and beautiful! The most important thing is that Concubine Xiao Shu has children, Li Sujie! I have no children in my knees! How to continue! This is what I am most worried about! I am old! I no longer care about pampering! But if someone dares to threaten the position of queen of my palace! I must get rid of it quickly!" Queen Wang said fiercely, and her vicious eyes shot into the distance...
"Empress! I have an idea! I wonder if I can listen!" Cui'er also asked carefully...
"Tell me!" Queen Wang nodded heavily, "Empress! Concubine Xiao Shu is just relying on her own beauty! Just as the Empress said, flowers are not red for a hundred days! The Emperor has always respected each other as guests, but if Concubine Xiao Shu, the Emperor could get along with the Empress alone and cultivate feelings! Therefore, I suggest that the Empress take advantage of the emperor's rest, such as today, go to Ganye Temple to sing a stick of incense for Emperor Taizong! The Emperor has always ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety! Therefore, today is a good opportunity..." Cui'er also simply explained the difference...
"Okay! I must pull the emperor out of that bitch Xiao Shufei! Even if you are so charming, I will definitely destroy your plan! If you want to be above me, you have to see if you have the ability!" Queen Wang also smiled for a long time, so: "Set up! The Palace of Harmony!" As she said that, she walked towards the Palace of Harmony...
"The Empress is here!" An old eunuch said sharply. This person was Li Zhi's personal eunuch, the eunuch...
"The deputy official meets the Empress! The empress is thousands of years old!" The deputy official also saluted respectfully. Queen Wang couldn't help but smile, thinking that her dignity would not be lost...
In the Yangxin Hall, there are two desks and two bookcases, one is martial arts and the other is poetry and songs. The martial arts and martial arts are naturally the books that Lian'er read in Yixia Hall, and the other is naturally prepared for Lian'er. Li Zhi never forgot Lian'er in his heart. Everything that night in Hanfeng Hall is still vivid in my mind, and it is unforgettable. When I dreamed at midnight, I would remember the first time I met Lian'er and the last time I saw Lian'er...
For a moment, Li Zhi was in a daze. Looking at the dazzling array of military books, he remembered Lian'er, wearing a light green long skirt, plain white coat, leaning against the imperial concubine's chaise, holding the military books in his hand. "Mei Niang!" muttered in his mouth. Although the voice was not loud, Queen Wang who entered the Palace of Yangxin had already stopped in his ears. Mei Niang! Who is it? Look at the emperor like this! Who has never fallen in love! Queen Wang could tell at a glance that this Mei Niang must be the one in the emperor's heart! It is even better than Concubine Xiao Shu's longing! This point has never been revealed anywhere in Li Zhi! So Queen Wang mistakenly thought that Li Zhi had a new love! This new love is enough to compete with Concubine Xiao Shu... I couldn't help but feel very happy...
"Emperor! I'm here!" Empress Wang walked in dignifiedly, and Li Zhi was suddenly awakened. Although he was quite distressed, he asked slowly: "Empress! What's the matter with me?" Although Li Zhi didn't like Empress Wang very much, it was his wife given to him by his father, so he always treated him with courtesy... He interrupted Li Zhi's wandering today and became a little angry...
"Emperor! I think! Yesterday was the emperor's throne ceremony! Yesterday's things were quite busy, so I couldn't take time out! So today I want to invite the emperor and I to go to Ganye Temple together! Save a fragrance for Emperor Taizong!" Empress Wang originally planned to use the three-inch-not-so-bad person to convince Li Zhi to go with him, but he didn't expect that Li Zhi's eyes lit up. The person he was still thinking about was now in Ganye Temple, and he couldn't help but respond directly, which really made Empress Wang a little unacceptable. Is this a dream...
A large group of people headed to Ganye Temple. Along the way, Li Zhi was "stupid" because he could see the person he was thinking about immediately. Queen Wang looked at him and always felt that the emperor was particularly excited today. Was it about that Mei Niang? Did he really guessed it right? Otherwise, why did he worship Emperor Taizong? The emperor was so happy... Seeing that the emperor's attitude towards him changed 360 degrees, he fell in love with that Mei Niang even more...
The deputy official also shouted loudly: "Emperor! The Empress has arrived! All the nuns of Ganye Temple come forward to greet them!" Empress Wang had already sent someone to notify the nuns of Ganye Temple, but Lian'er did not receive the notice and was still in the backyard. Qiufeng swept his flattering face, which made Li Zhi and Empress Wang feel disgusted and disgusted from the bottom of their hearts...
So, the large group of people stayed outside the gate of Ganye Temple. The palace maids and eunuchs followed Li Zhi and Queen Wang into the central hall of Ganye Temple, "Please, Queen, burn incense!" Mingyou also lit six Buddhist incenses for Li Zhi and Queen Wang... After giving the big gift, Li Zhi secretly found the abbot Mingyou:
"I ask you! The concubine of the late emperor, Wu Meiniang, is it here? I grew up in the Yixia Palace since I was a child! I have long regarded her as another mother besides Empress Dowager Changsun! Now that she has ascended the throne as the emperor! Naturally, I want to visit her!" Li Zhi also said it was quite tactful, clarifying the relationship, we are just this normal relationship, otherwise if it was introduced into the court, Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang would definitely be wary of Meiniang! "Three descendants of the Tang Dynasty! The heroine Wu Emperor! The world will be the world!"
"Emperor! Please come with...Ni Ni!" Mingyou also felt that things were not very good! It was obvious that it could be seen! This martial arts talent is actually the same as the Empress Dowager Changsun! Mingyou immediately regretted... If he could treat this martial arts talent well, he might be able to receive the holy grace and Jiang Lin from Ganye Temple... Now this vicious abbot is so regretful that he has lost his heart...
The West Chamber Courtyard! A bleak figure stands among the world, as if there is only one person in the world. The lonely shadow faces the sky with a proud silence. Li Zhi looked at this back but was even more sure. Li Zhi also ordered the virtue officer to guard the West Chamber Courtyard, and decided not to let Queen Wang know, nor could these nuns see the clues...
"Mei Niang! I'm here!" A gentle word and a faint greeting set off a circle of ripples in Lian'er's long-closed heart. The effect of a drop of water was a violent sensation in the entire Hirai Wubo's heart...
Turning back, a familiar figure was taller! His arms were wider! His momentum was more grand! Is this the ninth prince who chased him and called him aunt when he was a child! "Emperor! Pomni Mingkong meets the emperor! Long live the emperor!" Lian'er also bowed slightly... but it surprised Li Zhi, what happened to Mei Niang...
"Mei Niang! Between you and me, do you still stick to such etiquette?" Li Zhi also asked Lian'er with some strange feeling...
"Ninth Prince! I know that you have wanted to be like your father, Emperor Taizong, since you were a child! Since that's the case, you have to accept the salute of Nanni! An emperor! I am the only one in my power at all times!" Lian'er also said slowly...
"Plain! How have you been doing in Lian'er these days?" Li Zhi also began to ask about his well-being. Although Lian'er had no fluctuations on the surface, he was extremely excited! His persistence was really not in vain. Unexpectedly, he still thought of me in his heart. Today, he actually came to Ganye Temple for my destiny...
