Chapter 505: Making a Chance Encounter
Chapter 505: Making a Chance Encounter
Wu Meiniang heard the sound outside the strings, and immediately made a plan in her heart, no matter what, she couldn't let the little princess make her words clear, once she said it clearly, it would be over, she couldn't even agree, wouldn't it be bad.
The little princess will marry sooner or later, she will leave the palace, won't she lose her position again, and when she arrives at the little princess, Shi Zhongchen will no longer be able to take care of her in the future, and she will not be able to restore her title of talent. The little princess "likes" her so much, how can Shi Zhongchen disobey the little princess's wishes, and how can the emperor's talent serve the princess, so she can only let her continue to be a palace maid and serve the little princess all the time!
And why should the little princess look at her differently? Needless to say, Wu Meiniang can also guess, but she wants to convey some news to Wang Ping'an through herself, or her mother who is about to come to Beijing, saying how cute the little princess is and how good she is, so as to please Wang Ping'an's parents, that's all, she is so useful, but once the little princess leaves the palace, her own usefulness will be used up!
Don't pin your hopes on the idea that the little princess will "repay her kindness", even if the little princess can think of herself, I don't know how long it will be later, and even if you think about it, the benefits you can get are still the title of restoring talents, and it is difficult to be able to seal a concubine or something!
Compared with the two, whether it is early or late, how good it is for her to be the master of the house in the Lixia Palace, why bother to come and serve people, anyway, the final result is the same.
These things have been said for a long time, but Wu Meiniang's mind only flashed, and she smiled: "Princess, the slave maid naturally feels that she has fallen in love with you." Seriously, it's not slave flattery, you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are really similar in personality! "The conversation changed, and even the content was diverged!
Sure enough, Li Yiren was stunned, she couldn't go on with what she had arranged, her attention shifted, and she no longer said that she would let Wu Meiniang live with her, but asked, "I have a similar personality to the prince's brother?" Have you spoken to the prince's brother? Like the two of us now? ”
A small palace maid, who used to be a talented person of her father's emperor, lived in the harem, how could she talk and chat with Li Zhi? This kind of thing can't happen in the harem, Wu Meiniang saw the prince, and she was no longer qualified to do anything other than hide to the side and salute!
Wu Meiniang laughed in her heart, she is still young, the salt I have eaten is more than the rice you have ever eaten...... I'm still very young and haven't eaten much salt, so I don't compare to you!
She said, "You can always talk...... It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't remember who the slave is. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often went to the peony garden to enjoy the flowers and asked the slaves and maids some words, such as how to plant peonies. ”
Li Yiren sighed, immediately interested, she thought for a while, and said, "Peony Garden, Lixia Palace." Ah, isn't that right next to the prince's brother's Lizheng Palace? ”
Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "Yes, it's only separated by a wall, it's very close." On this side of the wall, you can often hear the other side of the wall! ”
Li Yiren quieted down, looked away with big eyes, and kept blinking, as if thinking about something.
How smart Wu Meiniang is, which girl is not pregnant with spring, not to mention that when the marriage is about to be determined and undecided, it is the knotted eye of gains and losses. She also came from girlhood, how could she not guess what Li Yiren was thinking now.
The little princess must be thinking at this time that the prince and Wang Ping'an are good friends, so since the prince often goes to the peony garden to enjoy the flowers, will Wang Ping'an accompany him?
Wu Meiniang said: "From the Lizheng Hall to the Lixia Palace, in fact, you don't have to go through the Phoenix Gate, there is another small door on the palace wall, and the prince will go to the peony garden to relax whenever he is tired of reading." She bit the word reading very hard.
Li Yiren sighed, his eyes turned back, and asked: "Brother Prince's daily reading is indeed very hard, so you should go and relax." After thinking about it, she said again: "However, it is winter now, and the peony flowers have not bloomed, so what is the prince brother going to see?" ”
That's too easy to answer, and there are a lot of reasons. Wu Meiniang said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the most filial person, he is tired of studying, he compares his heart to his heart, and naturally thinks that the emperor deals with government affairs, and he is also very tired, so he often goes to the peony garden, learns to plant peonies, and wants to make the peony bloom more brilliantly next year, so that when the emperor goes to the peony garden to relax, he can see beautiful flowers, and his mood will be better, and he can relieve fatigue." ”
Schemingly, Li Yiren is not as strong as Wu Meiniang anyway, she is noble, innocent and romantic, but if you remove the identity of the princess, she is just an ordinary beautiful girl, and Wu Meiniang is not a girl, and she has nothing to do with innocence and romance!
Li Yiren didn't hear that Wu Meiniang was looking for a reason for herself, and if she found a reason, she could often go to the peony garden, and when she went to the peony garden, she could use filial piety to the emperor and plant peonies for him as an excuse. When I went to the peony garden, it was best to have someone I knew to explain to her, and the most important thing was that she was not good at coming forward, and someone had to be able to come forward for her, who was the number? Who else could it be besides her Wu Meiniang?
In this way, Wu Meiniang naturally has to stay in Lixia Palace, and even if other concubines want to rob this palace, the little princess has to come forward to stop it, and she must keep Wu Meiniang's position!
In this way, Wu Meiniang's position has been further consolidated, and she doesn't have to serve her here!
Wu Meiniang drew the circle, Li Yiren suddenly forgot her original intention, she said: "Brother the prince is really filial, I have to learn from him to succeed, and I must be filial to my father." ”
Wu Meiniang clapped her hands and said: "Ah, princess, you are so considerate, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows, he will have to praise you." If you want to go to the peony garden, just talk to the slave in advance, and the slave and the maid will plant peonies with you. By the way, maybe you can meet His Royal Highness the Prince, you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will plant together, and the slaves and maids will help you on the side. ”
Li Yiren's eyes lit up, and he suddenly asked, "That's great, I really want to plant peonies with the prince's brother." However, it was only the prince's brother who went alone...... Oh, the Lixia Hall is a harem...... Ah, that ......" She was a little spitting up, in her little heart, she was originally very happy, but when she thought of the word harem, the joy sank again, the harem king Ping'an couldn't come in, even if the prince's brother valued him again.
Wu Meiniang's heart was shocked, yes, harem, this kind of place is really troublesome! The little princess went to the peony garden, but she just wanted to meet the prince by chance, and maybe she could meet Wang Ping'an by chance, this idea is good, but there is absolutely no feasible place.
Lixia Hall is desolate, but in the end it is also the emperor's harem, Li Zhi has nothing to do to relax, it doesn't matter, anyway, as long as the emperor doesn't care, who else dares to make a big noise. But Wang Ping'an can't do it, if he has nothing to do and go to the emperor's harem to relax, then the emperor will have to destroy the nine clans of the Xuzhou Wang family, without the slightest politeness. Wang Ping'an can't say that he can't go to the emperor's harem to relax, Lizheng Hall is the prince's harem, and going to Lizheng Hall to relax is also not allowed!
This kind of chance encounter can only exist in daydreams, and it is impossible in reality!
Wu Meiniang bit her lip, and the strategy was in her heart again, she said: "Yes, Lixia Hall is a harem, far away from the Chongxian Pavilion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to walk a long way if he wants to relax!" ”
She clapped her hands suddenly, pretending to have a good idea, and said, "Princess, you only think about filial piety to the emperor, but why did you forget to be kind to His Royal Highness the Prince!" Otherwise, princess, take the slaves and maids, plant peony flowers well, and plant the flowers in the Chongxian Pavilion, so that as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is tired, he can enjoy the flowers nearby! ”
Li Yiren's eyes lit up, and he said, "Plant peony flowers in Chongxian Pavilion, it's a place for the prince's brother to study!" ”
Wu Meiniang said with a smile: "Yes, in this way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can enjoy the flowers and relax, and he can think about how to plant peonies well, so that the flowers in the peony garden will not be planted better, and the emperor will naturally be more happy to enjoy the flowers again!" ”
Li Yiren was overjoyed and said, "Yes, yes, let's plant peony flowers in Chongxian Pavilion, so that we can ...... I can also study with the prince's brother from time to time, and he will no longer be lonely! ”
Wu Meiniang thought to herself: "Even if you don't accompany him, he won't be lonely!" She nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, yes, the princess is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone, it can relieve the fatigue of the emperor, and it can also make the prince read good books, such a good idea can only be thought of by the princess!" ”
Li Yiren blinked his eyes wide, and thought, "Obviously you came up with it, how did it become what I thought!" She smiled and said: "Okay, then let's decide, tomorrow is the second day of the Lunar New Year, the new year begins, I will go to you tomorrow, let's choose a few peonies and transplant them to Chongxian Pavilion!" ”
Wang Ping'an can't go to Lixia Palace, it doesn't matter, she can't go to Chongxian Pavilion, he can't come, then she will go, this is called if the mountain doesn't come, I'll go to the mountain. Chance encounters, chance encounters, chance encounters every day!
Wu Meiniang sighed, thinking: "I'm so anxious, I'm not prepared at all!" But he couldn't say no, so he had to nod and say, "Okay, then tomorrow, it's just that the New Year is not over yet, princess, don't you go to pay New Year's greetings?" ”
Li Yiren smiled and thought, "A palace person is a palace person." I need to give New Year's greetings to whom, except for my father and the prince and brother, who in the world can stand my worship...... Well, Wang Ping'an's parents don't count! ”
Li Yiren is a girl's heart, girls of her age are like this, what comes to mind, she can't wait to do it, but she is not as calm as Wu Meiniang, she thought about how to meet by chance, she was in a hurry, urging Wu Meiniang to go back to prepare, she will go to Lixia Hall tomorrow, to choose peonies.
Wu Meiniang couldn't, so she had to go back to Lixia Palace, but after she came back, she couldn't sleep anymore.
Today's matter is all her own opinion, she has not discussed it with Li Zhi beforehand, I don't know if Li Zhi is willing, and if Li Yiren always pulls her to Chongxian Pavilion, although she can still meet Li Zhi, but the private friendship will be weakened, and then like now, Li Zhi often comes to her and says some "intimate words" to her, which is no longer possible!
In everything, there are pros and cons, and it is never perfect!
Wu Meiniang felt a little sad in her heart, in the two things of restoring the title of talent and getting along alone with Li Zhi, she chose wisely, of course, to restore the title of talent, after all, everything about her is on the emperor, not on the prince, but the prince, alas......
Wu Meiniang lay down on the bed again, thinking: "Little princess and girl Huaichun, but I am not the same, but my heart is difficult to speak, and I can't let others know!" ”
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and everyone has secrets that cannot be declared, and everyone in the world is like this, not only her!
Early the next morning.
Wang Ping'an got up, he didn't sleep enough, and he felt a little pain in his head. This kind of headache is not something that can be cured by taking medicine, it is a lack of sleep, and if you want not to be in pain, you can only sleep enough!
Call two little girls and wait for him to wash and change clothes. Wang Ping'an drank some porridge, ate breakfast, and then came out of the backyard.
When he came to the front yard, he couldn't help but sigh, everything was not settled, and everything started again. Last night, the scholar who had typhoid fever was still lying on the incense case, but Tang Xuanzang came, standing next to the incense case, touching the scholar's forehead with his hand, and he didn't know what he was doing.
If you want to change to normal, Wang Ping'an turned around and left, leaving the Inspiration Temple from the back door, he was really not in the mood to meet Tang Xuanzang, he was afraid of his allusions, but it didn't work today, he had to go to see if the scholar was getting better, and whether he needed to take medicine again.
He came in through the back door, and no one noticed him, standing in the corner of the hall, he squeezed out a smile and walked over, saying, "Senior brother, you got up early today!" ”
Tang Xuanzang was talking to Sun Tu, and he said: "The reason why your illness can be cured is because you are lying on this incense case, which stands in front of the Buddha statue, and over time it will give birth to spirituality and become the treasure of Buddhism for all sentient beings, and if you lie on it with a sick body, it will ......."
Hearing Wang Ping'an speak, he turned his head and said, "Senior brother, you are also awake, last night the poor monk heard the noise outside, and wanted to get up to investigate, but he also wanted to inspire the temple, everything is protected by the Buddha, and it is okay not to look at it, so he didn't get up." This morning, when I came to the front, I saw that this Sun Shizhu's illness was cured, and the Buddha appeared to protect the world from the suffering of illness, which is the proof of my Buddha's compassion! ”
Wang Ping'an hummed and nodded vigorously. Anyway, the best way to solve things is to do nothing, quiet and inactive, anyway, there will always be others to do things, do well is the gods and Buddhas to protect you, do not do well is the sin, the gods and Buddhas refuse to protect you, the sorcerers are neat, cultivate the next life!
He didn't dare to say that feudal superstition was wrong in front of Tang Xuanzang, it had to cause a big debate, if Tang Xuanzang didn't say that he knelt down and begged for mercy, he wouldn't stop talking, maybe he would be a slap in the face, and give him a few strokes with the mallet that knocked on the wooden fish...... Why bother for the New Year!
Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "Yes, that's true." He stepped forward to inspect Sun Tu and checked Sun Tu before saying, "It's almost." But be careful, the illness comes like a mountain, the illness goes like a thread, and you still need to be well born and raised, you go back to the inn, don't stay here, his body can't stand it. Also, it's best to share a room with his daughter-in-law for a while. ”
Of course, the Sun family agreed, although fame is important, but the body of relatives is more important, and they all understand this truth.
The scholar named Li Si was standing next to him, still holding a night pot in his hand, and he said, "Master Wang, the student Li Si took care of Brother Sun Nian according to your instructions, and his illness was cured. ”
Wang Ping'an glanced at him, feeling that he couldn't call others in vain, and said with a smile: "In this way, how about you go wash your hands, go out with me, and be an entourage for me for the time being?" ”
Li Si was almost dizzy, but he didn't say anything, threw down the night pot, ran to the yard, grabbed a handful of snow to wipe his hands, ran back again, and said, "The student has finished washing his hands!" ”
