Chapter 40: Temptation
There was a solemnity in the chanting hall. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The peach branch stood on the main seat with his chin raised slightly, and the bright lake green palace costume under the slightly open Xuanhu fur was bright and enchanting, and it was as eye-catching as the early spring tender green that had just been drawn out of the branch in this gray-clothed nun crowd.
Beside her, stood the abbot of Ganye Temple, Liao Jing, and another little palace maid in cyan palace clothes, and the Tsing Yi attendant with a tray stood solemnly behind the three of them.
Peach Branch raised his eyes and asked, "Master!" I wonder if all the laymen are already here? ”
The gray-clothed nuns in front of her were a wall of silence and despair, standing coldly in front of her, like a silent boundary monument, isolating the prosperity and hustle and bustle of the red dust.
Liao Jing looked up at the silent crowd, and said in a low voice: "It's already here, but Mingchen has been infected since the beginning of the year, and now he can't get up, and I hope that the female history will bear it." ”
"Hmmm! I'll let Quan'er go later! Given by Niangniang, every layman has it, and it is not good to miss Master Mingchen. Momozhi said lightly.
Since she is sick, there is no need to wait, the queen is still waiting for her to reply!
Jing lowered her eyebrows and answered softly: "Yes!" ”
Momozhi's eyes slowly swept over every face in front of him, and a smile of unknown meaning was pulled out of his mouth, and he spoke:
"The queen has mercy on all the laymen for the blessing of the Tang Dynasty and has worked hard, and today I specially ordered us to come and offer some New Year's gifts to the laymen, and I hope that the laymen will not be disgusted."
There was still a dead silence in the scripture hall, as if no one existed at all, and the face of the peach branch gradually turned pale, and she had to explain the things given by the queen's mother, but the eyes of these seventy or eighty people made her feel a little chill down her spine for some reason, and she had no interest in saying more.
Among the so-called laymen in this room, the oldest is only in his early thirties, and the youngest is only sixteen or seventeen, but now everyone is dead and silent, as if they have no love, numb and stiff. Even after listening to Taozhi's soft words, no one showed the slightest kindness.
"That's it! Quan'er! Roll call. Taozhi subconsciously took a half step back, waved his hand, and motioned to the little palace maid behind him to step forward and roll call, no longer trying to close the distance between each other.
The attendants in Tsing Yi stood in a row behind Taozhi and Jing, each holding a large tray in their hands, which was covered with bright yellow silk cloth, and they couldn't see what was in the tray.
It's just that, judging from the pallets piled up high, there seem to be a lot of things inside.
"Master Mingxing!" Every time Quan'er called a person's name, a gray-clothed nun stepped forward silently and took a tray from the Tsing Yi attendant.
"Master Mingwu...... Master Ming Jing ......"
Quan'er shouted one by one, and the gray-clothed nuns were as calm as a pool of stagnant water, only Quan'er's undulating voice echoed in the chanting hall.
"Master Mingkong!"
Just when Momozhi thought that this silent process was about to end like this, a slender figure walked out of the gray-clothed crowd.
Like all the laymen, the same gray monk's robe, the same dark gray monk's hat, the wide monk's robe was like a curtain hanging on a shelf, swaying from time to time as she walked, sometimes leaning on her, outlining the young and beautiful curves.
The distinctive and gorgeous lip color, the slender neck as white as a swan, the crimson cheeks as if dyed with the glow, and the sparkling waves in the eyes, made the eyes of the peach branch nail her face at once, in this dull gray, such a person full of vitality is simply a strange plant!
Wu Meiniang slowly approached the new green, and there was no emotion in her ink-stained eyes.
Momozhi's eyes flashed slightly, and the corners of his mouth brought a smile. The tray handed by the Tsing Yi waiter behind him was grabbed by the peach branch and picked up in Wu Meiniang's hand before that.
"Master Mingkong?"
"Poor Ni Mingkong has seen the donor." Wu Meiniang lowered her eyebrows and replied.
"How do the laymen feel about living in this Ganye Temple? What's the inconvenience? The smile on Momozhi's mouth softened. But his eyes were fixed on the beautiful woman in front of him, who looked like a blooming begonia flower.
Even the queen who sits in the middle palace mother of the world, has never had such a vivid brilliance on her face!
"Very good!" Wu Meiniang replied quietly. The corner of her eyes swept over Jing Li behind Taozhi, and it was not surprising to find that the corners of her mouth twitched.
"I don't know where Master Mingkong's immortal hometown is? What is the name of a layman? Maybe you have a friendship with me! Taozhi took Wu Meiniang's hand and chuckled.
"The poor nun has already cut off the dust, so why should the donor ask more?" Wu Meiniang slowly withdrew her hand from the peach branch's hand and took the tray that the peach branch held on her other hand.
The trays that seemed to be stacked high were not heavy, but could be held with only one hand, and they did not seem to be anything of gold or silver, but rather something that looked valuable.
This is very much in line with the ordinary habits of the queen and queen!
Wu Meiniang couldn't help but tug at the corners of her mouth, thinking of Li Zhi who was still waiting in her meditation room, her heart was bored again, the emperor and queen were both equally stubborn, it was really not a family that didn't enter the door!
"Peach branch Meng Lang! Please also ask Master Mingkong not to blame. Momozhi covered her mouth and chuckled, but her eyes swept sharply over the silence who was standing half a step behind her.
This woman is so shrewd! In just a few words, he blocked his words. But if you want to say that she is fine, the ghost will not believe it!
How can a woman who is in an empty door like a desperate situation have such a good look as her? Don't you see the despair and gloom of this room?
Standing in place as if she had never seen it, a drop of cold sweat slipped, imperceptibly slipping from behind her ear into her collar.
Wu Meiniang didn't say anything more, turned around and left, and the peach branch didn't turn around slowly until Wu Meiniang's figure disappeared.
"Master Jing! It seems that the queen mother should have something to talk to you. Momozhi looked coldly at the expressionless nun in front of her.
The meditation room in the courtyard was closed and silent. Wang Qi had already left the inner courtyard and still returned to the back alley.
Li Zhi sat alone in Wu Meiniang's meditation room waiting for her to return from the Song Jing Hall, and the people in the palace came suddenly, even when he was in the palace, he didn't hear any wind.
If he remembered correctly, not only the year before last, but even last year, Queen Wang did not send anyone to Ganye Temple to send any New Year's gifts.
What kind of rule is this? Still is...... What did the Wang family perceive?
Li Zhi's eyes darkened, he tapped the table with one finger, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he whispered softly: "It seems that you can't underestimate the Wang family!" ”
When Wu Meiniang pushed the door and came in, what she saw was Li Zhi's expression of unclear meaning and bowing his head in contemplation.
"It's time for you to go!" Wu Meiniang turned around and closed the door and said to Li Zhi. The loss and loneliness in her tone were not even noticed.
Li Zhi looked at Wu Meiniang's pale cheeks again, and suddenly laughed.
"Is this what the queen has given me? I'll see! Li Zhi ignored Wu Meiniang's cold eyes, and walked forward and picked up the yellow silk on the plate.
At the ends of the navy-blue tray were a thick volume of rice paper, a piece of plain monk's clothing, and a string of sandalwood prayer beads in the middle.
Wu Meiniang looked at the three things on the tray in a daze, her face, which had gradually turned pale, became more and more pale, and her eyes were as deep as ink, bottomless, like a deep well---- which was not prosperous.
Li Zhi's face is not very good-looking, these three things seem to be intimate, but in fact, they completely knock people into the infernal hell! Let people struggle in every possible way, but never get out!
"The queen is so thoughtful!" Wu Meiniang looked at Li Zhi coldly and put the tray in her hand on the table.
The wooden tray collided with the tabletop with a soft "cluck" sound, which sounded very frightening in this simple room, as if to remind the two people in the room of what a dead and silent place it was.
"Mei Niang!" Li Zhi called softly, stretched out his hand and turned Wu Meiniang's stubbornly twisted face to the side.
After looking at these three things, Li Zhi was basically sure what Queen Wang was thinking! It must be that the Wang family has already noticed it, and Queen Wang took this opportunity to come to the Temple of Feeling Industry to tempt, as for what the temptation came out of, only she knows!
"The queen will pick these things to send before the New Year's Festival, she must have noticed it, Mei Niang! You can't stay here anymore, come with me! ”
Li Zhi was a little anxious, since Queen Wang had already sent someone to test it, then there would definitely be the next move, if Wu Meiniang couldn't leave here as soon as possible, once Queen Wang set her sights on the target, then what was waiting in front of her next would definitely be a thunderous blow from the Wang family.
He couldn't take that risk!
"Your Majesty! Mei Niang and you are not all the way! You have your own 3,000 beauties, and I accompany my Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, you are so hard to force each other, but why do you come here? ”
Wu Meiniang pushed Li Zhi's hand away and turned her back.
This man's stubbornness is no less than Li Ke's, but Li Ke's obsession is to the throne, and this man ......
"I've said a long time ago, I can if I want to! Whether you and I are all the way, I can't tell you! Li Zhi looked at Wu Meiniang coldly.
If this woman continues to be stubborn, then he doesn't mind using his methods to make her understand!
"You ......" Wu Meiniang had no way to deal with this domineering and domineering man, so she could only stare at him with her mouth open.
The car from the Queen's Palace slowly drove away from the Ganye Temple, and when the peach branch lifted the curtain in the car and looked out, the gate of the Ganye Temple was slowly closing.
The reason why she didn't go to the Mingkong meditation room for further temptation was because this was not what she should do, if she startled the snake, she was afraid that the queen would not only not reward her, but would punish her!
However, at the thought of what had been dug out of the mouth of the abbot, Momoeda couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and smile.
Martial arts people? Martial arts talents! It turned out to be her!
This time I have completed my task well, and I think about it, the queen should be happy!
It's not in vain that he used the coercion and temptation of Zhang as a positivity in front of that Jing!
Quan'er sat next to the peach branch, looking at her smiling appearance, but she was confused, and couldn't figure out what happened to the most powerful sister in front of the queen mother?
