Chapter 68: Practice
He Jing fell to his knees all of a sudden and cried: "Father, my daughter really doesn't want to marry in Haixi!" Everyone says that it is enough to find someone in the clan to marry, but why do you want to marry your own daughter? You don't feel sorry for your daughter, and my mother doesn't have the ability to speak in front of you and the Queen Mother. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info When the time comes, the daughter will marry and be helpless. Once the Haixi people don't like their daughters, they will immediately die! There is no one here in Da Zhou to help my daughter speak, who do you want me to count on when the time comes? ā
She wiped the tears from her face, and continued: "Sister Chengyi is different, as soon as Prince Haixi wants her to be close, her grandmother, parents, and brother are all running for her. Her father was the most prestigious prince, and her brother-in-law was the prince of the king. With such a family in Da Zhou, how dare Haixi people bully her! ā
She knelt in front of Cheng Yi and continued to cry: "Sister, the prince of Haixi is very tired of me now. But you're different, when he looked at you that day, I knew he liked you! After you get married, you will definitely be happy, and your father can also give you a princess. In the future, he will become the Khan of Haixi, and you will be the princess, the mother of a country! Isn't it much better than you staying in Da Zhou and marrying a guest of honor? He's a hero you admire so much, and you're going to be in harmony! Sister, please! I can't get married! I can't marry him! ā
Duan Min shook his head again and again when he heard this, and He Jing's crying was all from his heart, but he offended the elders in this house. She envies Chengyi's grandmother and parents running for her, but where do she want to leave the queen mother and the emperor behind? said that He Jing has a brother-in-law, which is obviously treating King Yu, King An and King Kang as outsiders!
Emperor Yuan He was very disappointed in He Jing and let her kneel on the ground and cry.
He said to the Queen Mother: "The son of Fang Cai has discussed with the ministers, and he should still respect the will of Prince Haixi." After all, he wants to marry, if we insist on marrying and Jing in the past, the original intention is to tie the good of the two countries, if it has contributed to a pair of resentful couples, it will not be self-defeating. Sending Hejing to make peace was originally set by us before the Haixi people came, and we never officially mentioned it, so naturally we can't do it. What do you see? ā
The Queen Mother was very tired after hearing this for a long time, and she didn't care about this matter at all, so she nodded and said, "That's it!" Give Cheng Yi a princess, and let the Ministry of Rites prepare a rich dowry. ā
When He Jing heard this, he thought he had heard it wrong. She raised her teary eyes to look at Cheng Yi and found her standing there with a pale face. She was ecstatic now, she didn't have to kiss her, Xue Yuanhan was also moved, as if the haze had dissipated, and she finally saw the moon.
Concubine He's hand holding the tea bowl trembled and trembled, since the emperor and the queen mother said this in front of everyone, there was no room for this matter to turn around.
She looked at her granddaughter beside her, and her eyes involuntarily turned red.
I wanted the Queen Mother to see that when the first emperor was there, she had always been obedient, and found someone to replace Cheng Yi, but the Queen Mother didn't even bother to say a word for herself.
Cheng Yi, Cheng Yi, my good granddaughter...... Concubine He thought silently, tears flowing in her heart. The arm can't reach the thigh, this loss, Chun Wangfu has to eat if he doesn't eat it.
She put down the tea bowl, took a long breath, and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why there are so many twists and turns in the matter of Hejing is because Princess Hejing set a trap for Chengyi. If it is settled in this way, will it not let the wicked get a plan, and the innocent will be wronged? ā
Emperor Yuan He glanced at He Jing, who had stopped crying, and felt a pang of distress in his heart. He didn't understand why this well-behaved daughter had become like this.
The queen asked, "You say so, concubine, but what do you have in mind?" ā
Concubine He got up and folded her skirt, bowed solemnly, and said: "The Queen Mother, the Holy Lord, and the Queen are all just people, and they will not tolerate adultery!" ā
"You!" Emperor Yuanhe was almost betrayed by the four words "appeasement and adultery". "Concubine He, I respect you as the concubine of the first emperor and the biological mother of the seventh brother, so you are treated so favorably. If you continue to speak so unscrupulously, don't blame me for being ruthless! ā
When Concubine He heard this, she was unmoved, and still fell to the ground.
The Queen Mother lowered her eyelids, as if she was out of the way, and slowly blew the tea leaves in the teacup.
The room was quiet, and after a while, the Queen Mother raised her head and asked, "Why didn't you say it?" What are you looking at my wife doing? ā
Seeing that Emperor Yuan and Emperor He didn't speak, the queen had to reply: "Queen Mother, you see that Concubine He is kneeling here, it's not appropriate to ......."
Emperor Yuanhe said angrily: "Queen Mother, Concubine He is blackmailed!" Punish the princess! ā
The Queen Mother said in a strange manner: "Now that the princess has a bad reputation, I don't know whose fault it is?" Is it time for the sinners who have ruined the princess's reputation to come out and be punished? ā
Emperor Yuan He remembered that he was very angry and did not choose his words, but he brought Funing with a sentence and stepped on the sore feet of the Queen Mother.
"Queen Mother, my son didn't mean that......"
The Queen Mother "snapped" and closed the lid of the teacup, put it on the table, and said, "That's it, I'm tired after half a day." Since the princess's reputation is bad, then remedy it. Hejing, when the matter of harmony is over, you will eat fasting and chanting Buddha at Nanyuan Izumo Nunnery, and pray for the Great Zhou! You can also earn a good name for the princess and come back! ā
Everyone in the room was shocked, and Emperor Yuanhe shouted: "Queen Mother, Hejing is a princess, don't be like this!" ā
Concubine He had already kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you Queen Mother for upholding justice!" The concubines are grateful! ā
He Jing was originally kneeling upright, but when he heard the Queen Mother punish himself like this, his face suddenly turned gray and collapsed on the ground.
Izumo-an, in a secluded corner of Nanyuan, is a small three-hall courtyard where Guanyin Bodhisattva is enshrined. This is not a regular temple and nunnery, but only for the nobles in the palace to worship the Buddha in the South Garden.
But what makes it special is that there is usually a woman of noble status who leads the practice here. Twenty years ago, Prince Yide died of a sudden illness, and there were no children under his knees, and the main concubine Zhang was disheartened and practiced in Izumo-an.
A few years later, the Zhang family died, and the Izumo Temple was empty, with only two or three little nuns sprinkled and worshipped inside.
He Jing was very scared, afraid that the Queen Mother would really be ruthless and let herself practice in it for a lifetime. Just like those women who have been chanting in front of Izumo-an Bodhisattva for a hundred years, they are flowers that bloom just right, but they all wither early.
Emperor Yuanhe tried every means to dissuade him, but the Queen Mother insisted on refusing, so he had to give up.
Emperor Yuanhe thought in his heart, Hengzhu and Jing are about to be fifteen years old, and after two years, the Queen Mother will not mind, and let Hejing come out, just these two years will also let her reflect and reflect.
