Chapter Seventy-Six: Sleepless Nights

Standing outside the Kunning Palace, Father-in-law Wang finally tidied up his clothes and adjusted his feelings, and then stepped over the high threshold under his feet.

The courtyard of Kunning Palace was brightly lit, a whole plush carpet of Dongyi was placed on the ground in the courtyard, and the former queen mother Baoxiang, dressed in black, sat solemnly cross-legged on it, with a cowhide drum without paint in front of her knees.

Wang Zhi's eyes looked at Yue Xi's side in turn, and he only felt that the women wearing the same dresses looked particularly eye-catching, but there was one thing: the voice was really not small!

Standing at the entrance of the palace gate, he could only see Yue Xi's mouth moving, but the voices that poured into his ears were all those women.

A few rough women also bought strength for a tael of silver, and they tried their best to remember a short but awkward Heart Sutra in their minds, and they couldn't take care of anything on the side, so they followed Yue Xi's instructions: "Sing a sentence, knock on the 'magic instrument', and then sing again, sing five times in a row, one or two silver ......"

A few people didn't dare to stop, and they didn't dare to look around, lest they forget the scriptures that they didn't remember, so they were all busy with their own work with their eyes closed, high and low, and with the sound of the Bangzi and the copper cymbal in their hands, which were called beautiful as Dharma instruments, and the copper cymbals and other ringing instruments, Shengsheng sang the 'Sanskrit sound' into 'annoying sound'!

Wang Wei only listened to it for less than half an hour, and he already felt that his head was about to explode, and he was upset by these old ladies who could shout better than donkeys, but he also had the task of coming over to find out the news, and it was not good to lift his legs and leave.

Yue Xi was singing Buddhist scriptures, and even if Father-in-law Wang came over at the behest of the Queen Mother, it was inconvenient to disturb her, so he could only wait for her to finish singing a scripture and then come over to speak.

"Revealing the truth...... Huh...... Polo reveals the truth...... Hey...... Huh...... The Monk reveals the truth...... Huh...... Hey...... Bodhisattva Bhaha...... Belch...... Belch...... Uh...... "Boom! Nation! Examine! Kuang Qiqi!

With patience, Grandpa Wang finally waited for this last verse, and waited for the scattered gongs and drums to gradually stop, and he secretly let out a long sigh: Oh my God! It's finally over!

"O Bodhisattva of Contemplation...... Yes...... Ah...... "Bang! Boom! Bang Bang! Nation!

How did he know that he was about to salute Yue Xi, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and several women were already scrambling to open their mouths again, not giving people a moment to breathe, and the 'annoying sound' started again, and Grandpa Wang, who had always been dignified and steady, only felt that one of his hearts was about to pop out of his chest, which was so annoying!

After about half an hour, all the sounds slowly stopped, but Wang Gonggong felt that there was still a set of actors in his head who were beating and beating, and all kinds of drums and cymbals were mixed together, and they kept echoing in his ears, which was very lively!

"Mother." Seeing that Yun Hua and Xia Ran helped Yue Xi, who looked solemn and inviolable, Wang Gonggong hurriedly took two steps forward, and the pace was in line with the drum beat just now.

"Grandpa Wang is here." Yue Xi opened his mouth softly and slowly: "You sit down first, and I will offer this scripture first." ”

“…… Be. "Anyway, I've been waiting for so long, and Wang Wei doesn't care about waiting a little longer.

Waiting until the dawn of the day, he stood in the courtyard of Kunning Palace and couldn't help but shiver as he watched the swaying and shady breeze!

Raising his eyes and looking into the main hall of Kunning Palace, Yue Xi was kneeling in front of the incense case and muttering something, he was far away, and he could only see his back.

"It's time to wait for the Queen Mother to change her clothes and go to the morning court."

Wang Zhi instructed the two little eunuchs who were following him: "You two wait here first, and then ask the mother what is going on, and our family will go back to serve the queen mother first." ”

"Yes!" The two half-grown children, who were so sleepy that they almost fell asleep while standing, did not look good, and listened to his words and hurriedly bowed their heads in response.

When he returned to Yongning Palace, it was surprisingly quiet, and Wang Zhi hurriedly relaxed his steps and asked the palace maid who was guarding the palace gate: "The Queen Mother has already gone to the previous dynasty?" ”

"The Queen Mother also fell asleep." The palace maid saluted first and then said: "I have already sent a decree to my father-in-law to go to the Emperor's Palace to tell His Majesty, and the Queen Mother said that she will not go to the court this morning." ”

Empress Dowager Hirohito lived a very regular life and has not changed for more than ten years.

I listened to it in the middle of the night last night, and I couldn't get up this morning, and the Queen Mother was an assistant for seven years, and she delayed the early dynasty because she couldn't get up, and this was the first time!

Wang Zhi nodded, and whispered to the palace maid: "Send someone to the door to keep an eye on it, let the queen mother have a good rest, and don't let people disturb it." ”

"Yes."

Father-in-law Wang glanced at the closed palace door again, the vermilion door panel looked dull and heavy, and he couldn't help but open his mouth and yawn.

"You haven't closed your eyes all night, and now that the Queen Mother is resting, you can go back and squint for a while." Si Ye's palace maid is very discerning, and she observes words and feelings, and feels that Wang's father-in-law's face is not good-looking.

Gonggong Wang didn't say anything, turned around and walked out of the palace Yongning Palace.

The matter over there in Kunning Palace has not been asked clearly, how dare he squint?

When the Queen Mother wakes up later, the first thing she asks about must be this!

From Yongning Palace to Kunning Palace, after walking a few times in one night, Wang Wei felt that his legs were a little sore.

There was no one on the road, and Grandpa Wang listened to the sound of his footsteps dragging mud and water, and suddenly felt that he was old.

When this thought only rose in his heart, he stopped, raised his head slightly, squinted at the sky that was about to light up above his head, and thought carefully: I entered the palace at the age of eleven, worked as a miscellaneous servant for eight years, served the first emperor for nineteen years, and served the empress dowager for seven years......

How many years does this add up......

After this calculation, Wang Wei shook his head again: "After forty days and noon, I am almost fifty years old in the blink of an eye!" ”

After talking to himself, he was suddenly stunned

After a while, he was suddenly stunned: "It's so decent, how did I come up with this?!" ”

Father-in-law Wang immediately lowered his head, rubbed his palms together with both hands and rubbed them heavily on his face, and suddenly felt a lot more energetic.

In a place like the palace, I'm not afraid that you won't have the brains to eat and wait for death, but I'm afraid that you will be cranky, and the consequence of thinking too much will be to force yourself to lose your thoughts, and you will feel that life is boring......

Wang Zhi is an old man in the palace, so he naturally won't let himself think about a dead end.

Quickly walked straight to Kunning Palace, and when he was far away, he saw the two little eunuchs he left behind standing at the gate of the palace and looking at him, and the people on both sides looked at each other, and a little eunuch ran over to him regardless of the rules: "Manager Wang, the lady in this palace has fainted!" ”

"What?" Wang Zhi's footsteps did not stop, and he still walked briskly in the direction of Kunning Palace: "Speak clearly!" ”

"You have only been walking for a while, and you saw that the lady in this palace fell to the ground, and she didn't get up for a long time, or the two big palace maids helped her up, and the little ones saw it, and the mother's eyes were closed, and her face was not good......"

The little eunuch reported everything he had seen to Wang Zhiyu.

"Didn't you invite the doctor from the hospital to come and take a look at such a big matter?" Wang asked in a deep voice.

"The lady in this palace is the tip of our long live lord's heart, and she is pregnant with a dragon descendant, and the doctors of the Tai Hospital are not blessed to serve, saying that the prince of Chengping County personally asked for the pulse!"

Another little eunuch also came over and said.

Wang Wei thoughtfully looked at the Kunning Palace, where the palace gate was wide open, and decided to go in and ask what was going on.

The things that the two little eunuchs said had long been known in the palace, and Wang Zhi felt that the reason why Yue Xi was favored was more because of the piece of meat in his belly!

That is the only heir of His Majesty today, and the Queen Mother really turned a blind eye to the things in this palace for this reason, not that she was really afraid of this nameless woman.

Entering the palace gate of Kunning Palace, it was Yun Hua who greeted him.

With red eyes and trembling eyes, Yun Hua first saluted Gonggong Wang, and then told the chief eunuch in the palace to go to the Imperial Palace.

What can I do when I go to the Huangji Palace at this time, I guess it must be to tell the mother that she is unwell......

Wang Zhi comforted Yun Hua with a kind attitude before mentioning last night's incident: "Why does Niangniang miss the scriptures in the middle of the night? ”

"Don't mention it...... Yun Hua didn't open his mouth, and tears fell first: "Our master was weak when he was in the palace, and he didn't have to recuperate, and now he lives in the palace......"

Yun Hua stared at a pair of teary eyes and swept around, and his body trembled: "The master can't always sleep, he can't sleep well all night long, and he can't help it, so he followed the long-lived lord out of the palace to live for one night......"

"Last night it was like this again, and the master remembered the scripture that the Queen Mother had rewarded, didn't he recite it a few times......

"After reading it so many times, the master ......" Yunhua couldn't say any more, only crying.

"I see."

Wang Wei also heard a little about Yue Xi's days in the palace.

After the death of the first emperor that year, there were still several newly divided concubines living in the palace, and the Empress Dowager Hirohito, who was still the imperial concubine at that time, personally issued an edict to let the steward of the 'Twelve Eunuchs' cut off the money and food in the palace and let those people fend for themselves.

He also vaguely remembered that after the first emperor was buried in the imperial mausoleum, the empress dowager also sent a few coffins to the palace, one of which was specially made according to the queen's position, that is, it was prepared for the current Kunning Palace!

She has been working hard in the palace for several years without food or drink, and it is no wonder that she can't sleep well as soon as she lives in the palace now......

"Wait for it, after all, the mother is still pregnant with the dragon heir, and the queen mother is also worried." After thinking for a while, Gonggong Wang said carefully: "Don't rush to the Huangji Palace if you have something, send a letter to Yongning Palace first, don't let the Queen Mother worry about it!" ”

"Got it." Yun Hua lowered his head and immediately responded after listening to these words.

Respectfully sent Wang's father-in-law out, Yun Hua personally closed the palace door and bolted from the inside, and before she could turn around, a silk handkerchief had already been sent to the front: "Wipe it quickly, look at your crying, I'm distressed!" ”

took the silk cloud painting and glared at Xia Ran first: "How big do you say our master's heart is?!" The kung fu of Shangzhu incense can fall asleep on your stomach! There are two cubs watching out there! ”

"Haha!" Xia Ran covered her mouth and smiled, and the flower branches trembled and couldn't help herself: "Isn't this the character of our family, not to mention that there are two cubs watching, even if Your Majesty is watching, I haven't seen her afraid......"
