Prince Hong saw that A-Niang only thought about caring about herself everywhere, and he was really moved. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

His brain was hot, and he held the Empress Wu and choked up and called "A-Niang".

Ashamed, he wanted to say something, but Empress Wu waved his hand to stop him.

"Accompany A-Niang to Ganye Temple for a walk." Empress Wu affectionately took Prince Hong's hand and said with a smile.

Ganye Temple is located in the west of the Forbidden Garden, after the death of Emperor Taizongwen, those unfavored concubines, who did not even have the qualifications to be martyred, were expelled here.

Pity some of them, they haven't even seen the face of Emperor Taizongwen, but they just have a false name, and from then on, they will spend the rest of their lives in this temple, the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha.

As the saying goes, a landed phoenix is not as good as a chicken. These women have lived in the deep palace for a long time, so they naturally understand this truth. When they were in the palace, in the face of those concubines who were higher than themselves, they may not have lowered their eyebrows and held their breath. But in this royal temple, in front of these sisters-in-law who have never even seen the gate of the inner garden of the palace, as the women of the former emperor, they can't help but reveal the superiority of the people in the palace.

As everyone knows, in the eyes of the sisters-in-law, they are just a group of forgotten living dead. was already in such a situation because of the weak relationship with the first emperor. Now that the first emperor has died, the new emperor has ascended the throne, and the old people in the harem have all been replaced by new ones, who will remember them?

Since you are under the fence and look up to your nose, it is better to be cautious. It's just that I'm not interested, and I have to put on a superior posture, which is really annoying.

The sisters-in-law are not cultivated enough, and they were born in this royal temple, and they are somewhat contaminated with the habit of climbing high and stepping low in the palace. I don't know what to do with these women, the key is that there is no future for women, so naturally you are welcome.

At that time, there were dozens of women who were expelled to Ganye Temple to practice with Empress Wu. By the time Empress Wu returned to the palace, he had already gone halfway. There is no second person who has survived to this day except for the martial queen.

If I hadn't returned to the palace, I was afraid that I wouldn't have survived today.

When Empress Wu thought of all the things back then, she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, and she was still afraid.

"This well is where A-Niang drew water that day." There were no waves in the ancient well, but there were turbulent waves in the heart of the Empress Wu.

She suddenly became interested, and asked the palace people to go to the kitchen with the sister-in-law in the temple and fetch a bucket over.

Slowly put the bucket into the water, press down the rope firmly, and pull it up again. When the bucket was lifted, there was only half a bucket of water in the bucket.

Empress Wu shook her head with a smile: "It's old in the end." At that time, the water used by more than 100 people in the entire monastery was drawn by me alone. If there was a bucket and a half missing, I remember that I would have been punished, and I would have starved at least and beaten with a cane. ”

She turned to the abbot who was accompanying her, "Did I remember by mistake?" ”

The abbot of Ganye Temple is still the old nun of Huixin. After listening to Empress Wu's words, she laughed with her, and she didn't even dare to breathe, but just chanted "Amitabha." ”

Empress Wu handed the bucket to Prince Hong, and said with a smile: "Child, you can try it." ”

Prince Hong didn't dare to disobey, carefully took the bucket in the hand of the Empress Wu, and put the bucket into the water like the Empress Wu, and when he pressed the rope hard, not only did the rope slip from his hand, but even he almost fell into the well.

Empress Wu's eyes were quick, and she and Huixin helped Prince Hong.

"It's useless to be a child." Prince Hong's face flushed.

Empress Wu patted his hand and comforted: "Don't say that you grew up in the palace, you are A-Niang, you were in Lizhou when you were young, what haven't you done?" But when I first drew water, I threw the bucket several times. Later, he was punished severely, gritted his teeth, and learned. ”

She sighed: "But what Chongyan said, there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid that there are people's hearts." But as the crown prince, you don't need to focus on these little things. Even if not, it's nothing to laugh at. ”

After speaking, she glanced at Huixin with a smile: "Child, you don't know, although the mage is kind now, but back then he was iron-faced and selfless, and those of us who came out of the palace trembled when we saw her." ”

"Amitabha." Huixin's face was red, and the smile on her lips froze, but she didn't dare not laugh.

In the eyes of Prince Hong, A-Niang has always been resolute, resolute and omnipotent. In Aya's mouth, Ah Niang even said that her heart was as hard as iron.

He couldn't imagine that A-Niang had been so weak.

can see Huixin's expression, but he knows that what A-Niang said is true.

"Auntie!" He held Empress Wu, thinking of the suffering that A-Niang had suffered, and his eyes were a little wet.

Empress Wu looked indifferent, she took the hand of Prince Hong, and walked slowly in the temple.

"Does the child think that A-Niang just needs to draw water that day? Back then, A-Niang had to wash the floor tiles in this hall every day. Summer is fine, but I don't sweat a little more. The hardest thing is the winter, the well water is cold and biting, or two days, a pair of hands will be swollen like steamed buns. That's not all, until the crack and pus are born, then it is called a pain. ”

She raised a hand in front of Prince Hong's eyes: "Look at the scar on A-Niang's hand, it was left back then." ”

Prince Hong clenched Empress Wu's hand, trembling lips and did not speak.

Empress Wu took Prince Hong to the firewood room.

Prince Hong looked at this dark and damp firewood room, not to mention the small place, not even a bed, and couldn't help frowning: "How to live in this kind of place?" ”

Empress Wu smiled bitterly: "The child is in the palace, and he grew up in brocade clothes and jade food, so he naturally feels that this kind of place can't live in people." But A-Niang lived here for nearly half a year. ”

She thumped her lower back, smiled indifferently, but there was a pain between her eyebrows that could not be concealed: "A-Niang's backache was left at about that time." ”

Huixin suffered a lot along the way, and when she heard this, she couldn't help it anymore. She looked at Empress Wu carefully, then at Prince Hong, and boldly interjected: "It was the old nun who was ashamed of the queen that day, and in the past twenty years, the old nun has been uneasy. Speaking of which, the monks should have been merciful, and the old Nisuri can be regarded as a merciful old man. Can ......"

She also let out a long sigh, and said with shame on her face: "It's not that the old nun excuses herself, the old nun did such a bad thing with a conscience that day, and in the future, she will go to the eighteenth layer of hell, and she deserves it, and she will never dare to say a word." But if this is not said, the old nun's own reputation is small, and if it affects the century-old reputation of the Ganye Temple, the old nun is really uneasy. ...... year"

She gritted her teeth: "Back then, there was a noble person in the palace who passed the word, and the old nun was just a small abbot, how dare he not listen?" ”

When the crown prince Hong heard this, his eyes couldn't help but widen: "Listening to the abbot's meaning, could it be that someone in the palace instructed my aunt to suffer these hardships?" ”

Huixin did not answer, but closed his eyes, hurriedly counted the Buddha beads in his hand with one hand, raised the other hand in front of his chest, and recited the Buddha.

The prince said angrily: "On the day of my aunt, I came to pray for the first emperor, which was a good deed and should be treated well." Who is it that would treat Ah Niang so harshly and do such an unrighteous thing in this pure place of Buddhism? ”
