Chapter 789: The concubines and nuns came to testify
Hearing Wang Ping'an say that she was looking for those former concubines, Queen Wang was slightly stunned, and she felt quite sad in her heart. The former concubines in the temple, why were they sent here to be nuns, isn't it because they have never given birth to a prince and princess, if they have children, then they have their own children to support, and they will not come to the Ganye Temple to suffer and suffer.
As the queen of honor, of course, she will not be a nun in the future, no matter how she adopted the emperor's eldest son Li Zhong, even if Li Zhong can't be the prince in the future, he can't be the emperor, but a prince can't run away. And no matter who is the crown prince, after ascending the throne, she must be recognized as her mother, the name of the queen mother, ten *** belongs to her, as long as it is not the son of Concubine Xiao Shu to be the emperor, then her personal safety is basically guaranteed.
The queen said softly: "Then call them here, the palace also wants to see them." I wonder how they are doing in the temple? ”
Wang Ping'an sighed and said, "If you want to say yes, it's not likely, it's just a matter of barely living and living the rest of your life." After a pause, he added: "I heard that because they are not used to eating the things in the temple, last time those concubines had diarrhea collectively, it was not good for many days, but I came to prescribe medicine, which cured them and saved them from the pain." ”
With that, he went out of the house and went to call the concubine and nun in person.
When Queen Wang heard the latter sentence, she was stunned. Why, could it be said that after those concubines entered this Ganye Temple, they couldn't even solve the problem of eating? I even had a bad stomach!
She remembered her fate again, if she became the queen mother in the future, but the emperor was not her own, if the emperor was uncomfortable and looked at himself unpleasantly, he didn't have to do anything to himself, as long as he hinted at it, then the little eunuchs and palace maids in the palace could embarrass the emperor for themselves, for example, let themselves eat bad stomachs, but not give timely treatment, wouldn't that be equivalent to letting themselves die of illness!
The more I think about it, the more scared I become, I can't give birth to a son, it's really terrible! Queen Wang sighed heavily and looked at Wu Meiniang. I saw this little nun, with her eyebrows lowered and pleasing to her eyes, standing honestly in front of her.
The queen asked, "Are you from the Turks?" You're Han, right, how did you marry a Turk? ”
Wu Meiniang said: "Poor Ni's father is a trader, and he took Poor Ni to the Turks to do business, but he met a robber on the way and was robbed to the Turkic tribe, so he had to marry the little Khan in the tribe. ”
Queen Wang sighed, looked at Wu Meiniang carefully, and felt a little familiar. But because of what Wu Meiniang looked like before, she really can't remember clearly, and there is no portrait to corroborate, so she can only rely on memory, as if in her memory, Wu Meiniang is not like this, but what is the difference, she can't say.
Wu Meiniang is very well-behaved, she doesn't squeak without asking, and even if she asks, she answers in a thick voice, trying her best to show that she is at a loss. For as long as the queen did not ask her to look up, she looked down and looked at the table legs, so that a bare head was directed at the queen.
The concubines in the palace are quite protective of their hair, black hair is like a cloud, and it is full of various jewelry. When Wu Meiniang was in the palace, although she didn't have any good jewelry to insert into her hair, her hair was long, coiled on the top of her head, and she definitely didn't have a hair from her bald head now, so there was no resemblance at all.
Queen Wang is not very familiar with Wu Meiniang again, and after Wu Meiniang's appearance has changed greatly, she can't remember anything. For a moment, I couldn't think of what to ask. Because Wang Ping'an told her that this little nun deliberately concealed her life experience, she would not tell the truth if she asked her. Queen Wang is not good at "interrogation", so she had to look at Wu Meiniang's bald head, and neither of them spoke.
Wang Ping'an went to the big courtyard where the concubines and nuns lived, called the concubines and nuns out, saying that the queen had come to see them, and also found the old nun who led the way, and hinted at it. The old nun was quite cheerful, and solemnly said that she would definitely be a good witness, and said that the empty master was not Wu Meiniang.
Wang Ping'an took them to see Queen Wang with confidence, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, when these concubines and nuns were in the palace, they were all the elders of Queen Wang, but now it's good, they have all become nuns, and when they see the younger generations in the past, they have to go to pay salutes to others, the world is impermanent, take this as the most!
A prime minister of the king, with a group of nuns, came to the room where the queen was staying, the room was too small to stand, but the leading few old nuns went in, and the rest of the nuns waited outside.
Wang Ping'an entered the house and said, "Queen Mother, the minister has invited all the masters." With that, he stood aside and glanced at Wu Meiniang.
Coincidentally, Wu Meiniang also looked at him at this time, and the two of them blinked their eyelids, and they understood God in their hearts, and everything was unspeakable.
When the queen saw these concubines and nuns, she stood up from the couch with a sigh, and was so stunned that she couldn't speak. She had known these concubines and nuns before, and she often met them whenever she had spare time. At that time, everyone talked and laughed, ate fruits, drank tea, and played games, how happy they were.
However, now these former ladies are all wearing wide monk robes, although they are all wearing monk hats, they can also see that there is no hair on their heads, and there is no trace of the former demeanor!
These concubines and nuns shocked the queen too much. Of course, Queen Wang knows what a nun should look like, and it is not the first time she has come to Ganye Temple, but when she sees that these people she knew in the past have all become nuns, her heart is not a taste, and it is not a taste!
Shocked, Queen Wang thought of herself again for the first time. Today of these concubines and nuns is their own tomorrow, the lessons from the past are here, you must not take it lightly, it seems that she must win the palace fight with Concubine Xiao Shu, and she must not let Li Sujie become the prince, the prince can only be adopted by Li Zhongdang!
Queen Wang was shocked, these concubines and nuns are not happy in their hearts, the crown princess has become a queen, and the scenery is better than before, but what about them? Entering the nun temple to eat vegetarian scriptures, people are really different lives!
The leading old nun recited Amitabha Buddha and said, "Queen Mother, thank you for remembering us, let's give you a salute!" ”
Saying that, the concubines and nuns all brushed the blessings of the king and queen, and they still practiced the etiquette in the palace before, until now, they have not been able to adapt to the change of identity, except for reciting a few Amitabha Buddhas, even the poor nuns rarely call themselves.
The queen sighed, came back to her senses, and said, "Everyone...... Ladies and gentlemen, don't be polite, let's ...... Let's do the same as before. Sit, sit! ”
Wang Ping'an gestured to the presiding nuns, and the presiding nuns were busy ordering the disciples to move small stools for the concubines and nuns to sit on.
Queen Wang asked softly, "Ladies and gentlemen, how are you doing in the temple?" ”
None of the concubines and nuns spoke, but they sighed at the same time and shook their heads.
Queen Wang felt uncomfortable, she didn't know what to say, she turned her head, looked at Wang Ping'an, and asked Wang Ping'an for help.
Wang Ping'an understood and said to the concubines and nuns: "The day before yesterday, the emperor came to visit you, and after returning to the palace, he told the queen about your living situation, and the queen mother was very worried, so I came to visit you in person today. ”
The nuns hurriedly thanked them, and said that being a nun was very good and comfortable, and they agreed that nuns are a very promising profession, and they plan to continue to do it from now on, and they don't expect to change careers!
Hearing this, Queen Wang's tears almost didn't fall, and she said: "Ladies and gentlemen, you will have a hard time tomorrow, but you are forced to smile and not make this palace sad, it is really difficult for you." ”
The nuns expressed their gratitude again, and everyone sat together and sighed, saying something inconsequential, anyway, it was to let the queen relax, and if the queen couldn't come often, then let Wang Xiangye come often. When they were in the palace, they had taken precautions and made some investments, and now they can share dividends, so they also asked the queen to issue a decree to protect their income and make them more comfortable.
This is all a trivial matter, Queen Wang naturally agreed, and she didn't need to go to *** to do anything in person, just to tell Wang Ping'an, how could she not agree!
After talking for a long time, the room fell silent again. Wang Ping'an coughed, pointed to Wu Meiniang, and asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, this time I came to the temple and accidentally saw this little master, I feel a little familiar, it seems to be similar to a concubine in the palace, but I can't remember who it is for a while, you recognize it, see if you can remember!" ”
As soon as he said this, the room became nervous. Wu Meiniang's heart was pounding, now the time to decide her fate has come, if these concubines and nuns talk nonsense, then she will be finished, I am afraid that in this life I can only be a good nun as a lifelong goal, for her, being a nun is not a career with a bright future.
The presiding old nun and her disciples were all surprised, and the sky looked like the concubines in the palace before? What did you say, didn't Wang Xiangye see her for the first time today, why didn't he mention it before, but now he brought it up in front of the queen?
The host Lao Nun thought to himself: "No, is it possible that Wang Xiangye is so difficult in the temple, not because he is full, but because he is empty?" ”
And her disciples thought to themselves: "Likong looks similar to the concubines in the palace before?" Wouldn't she, just like her, be able to enter the palace as a concubine? I'm better looking than her! ”
The disciples all think that they are much more beautiful than Kong, even the second senior sister thinks so, if the senior sister is here at this time, maybe they all have to think that she is more beautiful than Kong, no woman thinks that she looks inferior to others, nuns are also women, and they also have this kind of thought, they all think that they are beauty!
The concubines and nuns looked at Wu Meiniang together, that is, the current Kong, they are all people who have been instructed by Wang Ping'an, the caliber has long been unified, no one will know, and it is impossible to say that Kong looks similar to someone, whether this person is Wu Meiniang or Wen Meiniang!
The concubines and nuns looked at Wu Meiniang for a long time, shook their heads together, and the old nun in the lead showed a confused expression on her face and asked, "Does she look similar to the previous palace people?" I can't see who I'm similar to, I don't know which concubine Wang Xiangye is referring to? ”
Queen Wang's heart swished, if she said that Kong was similar to Wu Meiniang, then she would inevitably be upset, because the difficulty of getting Wu Meiniang into the palace would undoubtedly increase, but if Kong was not like Wu Meiniang, the chance of success would be much greater, and she would naturally care more!
Wang Ping'an glanced at Queen Wang, and when he saw that she was nervous, he turned his head to the old nun and said, "Similar to a lady named Wen or something, the teacher recognizes it well, is it really so?" ”
"Wen Niangniang? Who is Wen Niangniang? The concubines and nuns shook their heads together, saying that they couldn't remember who Wen Niangniang was.
Wang Ping'an said: "Mrs. Kong, please raise your head and let the ladies take a good look at your face, to see how similar you are to Wen Niangniang?" ”
Wu Meiniang raised her head and twisted her face to the concubines and nuns so that they could see it clearly. The concubines and nuns who used to be of higher rank and older were not familiar with Wu Meiniang, the palace was so big, and there were so many people in the palace, it was almost impossible for them to know each other, so they really didn't know each other, not pretending.
But among the concubines and nuns, there are still those who are about the same age as Wu Meiniang, and their grades are about the same, and there are even those who knew Wu Meiniang before. As soon as these nuns saw Wu Meiniang, their hearts chuckled, I know, isn't this a martial artist! It's just that I haven't seen her for a long time, she is a little plumper, and her complexion is darker, but her general appearance has not changed, and she can still be recognized.
But even if she recognizes Wu Meiniang, what can she do, what evidence is there to say that she is the original martial artist? Even if she proves that she is, what good will it do her? Prove that she is Wu Meiniang, will there be results, will anyone believe it? Also, don't they want to live anymore? Although it is more difficult to be a nun, it is better to live after all, it is better than to die, and it is better to die than to live!
Concubines and nuns, look at me, I look at you, shake your head again, no one squeaks.
Wang Ping'an sighed and said: "I remember wrong, it's not Wen Niangniang, but Wu Meiniang, that concubine's name is Wu Meiniang, she is a talented person in the palace, and everyone calls her Wu Cairen." Do you remember this time? ”
Wu Meiniang was so nervous that she was sweating, and Queen Wang was the same, she couldn't sit still with her buttocks, and she actually stood up!
The concubines and nuns were still silent, they still didn't squeak any of them, as long as they didn't ask their heads, none of them would say anything, whether it was like or not. Leave everything to someone else, in case it is found on their heads in the future, they will have a prevarication, when they first testified, they did not squeak, even if they want to be investigated, they will also pursue others!
Only the old nun who was the leader heard the three words Wu Meiniang, and suddenly sighed and said, "Wu Meiniang, martial arts?" The old body remembers this person, and he knows her, so isn't she just ......" She looked at Wu Meiniang intently.
Wang Ping'an almost jumped up, what are you doing, you promised well, do you want to regret it now? His eyes immediately widened!
