At the end of the year, An Ning gave birth to a pair of twin boys, the Wang family was ecstatic, and when the third was washed, Shen Mengxi did not go to say goodbye, but only asked He Yu to send a congratulatory gift.

He Yuhui said that because they were twins, the children were not big, and their eyes were not opened, and the two children were not similar at a glance. Shen Mengxi nodded, it seemed that they were fraternal twins.

She sent someone to send a post to Qi Xia, wanting to go to Qingyun Villa to soak in the hot springs, but got the news that Qi Xia was three months pregnant, so she had to order Heyu to send congratulatory gifts, and she took the children to the villa.

There is a greenhouse on the farm, some vegetables and flowers are grown, and it is very comfortable to soak in the hot spring and eat fresh vegetables in the winter.

After living for more than half a month, Yi Ling sent someone to report that Zongzheng Temple had finished renovating the mansion and asked her to go back for acceptance, and then she reluctantly returned. Shen Mengxi also ordered people to pick fresh eggplants, weeds, and radishes, and prepare to send them to the palace to the queen of heaven and the emperor to express their hearts.

On the way back, he met the Huaiyi monk who had returned to the dynasty not long ago, he was rushing to the White Horse Temple, and the honor guard in the two times was stuck on the road for a while, and no one refused to give in.

This so-called monk Huaiyi, who conquered the Turks in the east and returned to the dynasty victoriously, just went around the area of Inner Mongolia and did not encounter the Turkic army. was actually awarded the Auxiliary General by the Queen of Heaven, entered the General of the Right Guard, and changed the title of Duke of Eguo, which is really an infinite honor and favor, and the limelight is incomparable.

Shen Mengxi admired the magnanimity of the queen's favored face, and it is said that as long as this Huaiyi is coquettish, no matter what she wants, the queen will agree. The year before last, the monk Huaiyi demolished the Qianyuan Palace, and spent 10,000 gold to build the Ming Hall and Heaven. Those who spoke out against the DPRK and China and reported and exposed them were all bitten by him in the end, or dismissed from office, or killed. So far, no one dares to provoke the Huaiyi monk.

Huaiyi is a gift from the princess to the queen of heaven, and it is also the first face of the queen, the age of the youngest son of the queen, that is, the current emperor.

Shen Mengxi was in the carriage, looking at Monk Huaiyi from a distance, only to see that he was not afraid of the cold wind and rode on the imperial horse. Handsome, majestic, dressed in a gorgeous robe, holding a golden Buddhist staff, holding his head high, the whole person looks high-spirited and unstoppable.

He is not a real monk, but he was shaved as a monk for the convenience of entering the palace.

But he really did a big thing, that is, he led the monks of the White Horse Temple to find a "Great Cloud Sutra" in the vast sea of Buddhist scriptures, and the scriptures recorded a story of the heroine ruling the country and then becoming a Buddha. He also led the monks to concoct the interpretation of the classic "Dayun Sutra", translated the obscure scriptures into easy-to-understand language, and interpreted them, combined with the current popular belief in Maitreya, hyped up, saying that the Tang clan was declining, and the Queen of Heaven was Maitreya's next birth, which would definitely replace Li Tang's rule, and build momentum among the people for the Queen of Heaven's successful accession to the throne in the future.

At this time, he was the most favored, and the Eastern Expedition to the Turks was just a name for his military exploits rewarded by the Queen of Heaven, and the prime minister of the DPRK and China was his staff, just like that, if he didn't agree with a word, he also dared to punch and fight.

Human beings, in fact, are the creatures that are most likely to lose themselves.

Humans, who have no natural predators, get carried away and become the greatest scourge of the biosphere, without knowing it.

Unlike other creatures, who only hunt when they are hungry and fight during courtship, humans not only feed and slaughter other creatures, but also kill each other.

Looking at it coldly, whether it is the queen of heaven or Huaiyi, they have forgotten to give themselves even a quarter of an hour of time to meditate every day. The queen of heaven is in a high position, and no one can restrain her, which makes her desire for power infinitely expand, and she has no shame and does whatever she wants; Huaiyi probably thought that the queen of heaven would spoil him for the rest of her life, and never leave a way out for herself.

People are like this, they can forget their original intentions and their situation at any time. Therefore, many Ming monarchs became dim-witted in their later years, and they were judged to be like two people.

Shen Mengxi ordered Commander Lu to come forward to discuss, but he didn't see the other party give way for a long time, only heard a burst of laughter, and vaguely heard the words "princess" and "remarriage". Then I saw that Huaiyi rode the horse to Shen Mengxi's car, jumped off the horse, raised his hands very chicly, shook his big sleeves, and then folded his hands and said: "Amitabha, the poor monk didn't know that it was the princess, how offended." ”

"If you already know, give way." Shen Mengxi said in a deep voice.

"The princess is above, the poor monk should give way, but, the five carriages, carrying precious items given by the Queen of Heaven, the mountain road here is narrow, if the royal gift is missing, I'm afraid it will ......" Huaiyi spoke in a light tone, and slowly put his head close to the car curtain, at this time the temperature was about five or six degrees above zero, the monk was bareheaded, and the ring scar on the top of his head flashed by the side of the car curtain, just a north wind blew, lifting the cotton curtain, Huaiyi took the opportunity to stare at the car, and saw Shen Mengxi's cold eyes.

He was startled and retracted his head. Then he was angry with his fear, and before he could say more, he heard an impatient voice from the car: "Go! ”

Shen Mengxi was already a little angry, if he made way for this soft rice noodle today, he wouldn't know how to be proud tomorrow. - The ancients loved to step on people who are bigger than their own names to become famous, which is really annoying!

Commander Lu responded, and with an order, the soldiers of the princess's mansion lined up with swords to open the way in front of the car, forcing the five carriages to retreat.

Monk Huaiyi roared angrily, got on his horse and rushed over, waving his horsewhip at the soldiers, "The things given by the emperor, you dare to rob them!" When I sue the queen of heaven, I will see if I kill the rat and other dog slaves! ”

The government soldiers were whipped by the horsewhip, and they couldn't help but be filled with righteous indignation, and they pulled out their swords with a bang, and the atmosphere was tense for a while, and blood was splashed on the spot at any time.

In the past six months, the soldiers of the princess's mansion have undergone special training, and all of them are extraordinary, how can they be compared to the shrimp soldiers and crabs of the wine and meat monks, Huaiyi also had a palpitation in the face of the steel knife and cold face of Commander Lu.

With a wave of his hand, ten men ran out, took hold of the horses, and turned the five carriages toward the city gate. - If you refuse to give way, then turn back to the city gate, which is spacious and convenient for cars.

Huaiyi was so angry that he went crazy, in the past five or six years, he has been used to it, and in recent years, no one dared to lose his face, and he forgot that he was facing the princess's palace soldiers at this time, and he grabbed the guard's bow and arrow, and shot the arrow, and went towards the princess's palace soldiers who led the horse by the last car.

Monk Huaiyi's guards were so shocked that they couldn't stop it, and shouted: "The prince is angry, that's the princess's soldiers!" ”

The feather arrow whistled towards the young soldier, who heard the warning of his companion and the whistling of the arrow feathers, and turned around alertly to dodge. The righteous power was infinite, and it was angry, only to see the feather arrow shoot deep into the belly of the horse behind the soldiers, and the poor horse neighed, and fell to the ground with a bang, and kicked the four hooves wildly, causing the carriage to roll over, and the cage pulled by the car slipped to the ground, and the marigold and silver bowls scattered to the ground, making a sparse noise.

Huaiyi's guards coaxed and went to rescue the royal gifts. The princess's soldiers all surrounded Huaiyi with horizontal knives, and Commander Lu waved his knife and pointed at Monk Huaiyi: "Bold monk, dare to assassinate the princess!" Take them all for me! ”

The guards were subdued in three or two, but the monk Huaiyi was not willing to be captured, he felt ashamed and humiliated, danced the Zen staff in his hand, and fought with the government soldiers, the government soldiers knew his special identity, although all of them were superb in martial arts, but they did not dare to hurt him easily, and they couldn't take him for a while.

The fire in Shen Mengxi's heart arched out again, holding a bow and arrow, standing on the carriage, and shouting: "Dead thief bald!" ”

Hearing the voice, Huaiyi subconsciously turned his head, and suddenly his eyes were split, only to see a feather arrow coming towards the door in front of him, he fell back with a bang, and the feather arrow grazed the top of his head towards the government soldiers behind him, and was blocked by the prepared government soldiers with steel knives and fell to the ground.

The monk was escorted to the front of the car by the government soldiers, with a face of dust. Shen Mengxi was condescending, pointed an arrow at Huaiyi, and asked sharply: "Who are you?" ”

Huaiyi was stunned for a moment, struggled to raise his head and said proudly: "I am the queen of heaven to give the title of Duke of Eguo, the general of the right guard of the forbidden army!" ”

"Hmph." Shen Mengxi smiled, "Who am I?" ”

Monk Huaiyi suddenly opened his mouth and stammered.

"Say! I, yes, who! ”

Monk Huaiyi's sweat came out in the winter, yes, why did he get dizzy? Even if he is the prince of the country, even if he is favored by the queen of heaven, but this is the biological daughter of the queen of heaven!

Monk Huaiyi was speechless, but he still had a fluke mentality, and decided that Princess Taiping couldn't do anything to herself, so he refused to apologize easily.

Shen Mengxi only felt disgusting to talk to him, so he threw the bow and arrow in his hand into the dust in disgust, patted the unnecessary dust on his hand a few times, signaled to Commander Lu, and returned to the carriage.

The overturned carriage in front had been straightened, replaced with a new carriage, loaded the cage into the carriage, and escorted Huaiyi's attendants towards Luoyang City.

Monk Huaiyi was tied up sturdy, upside down on the horse, no longer had the vigor of the party, graceful, and from a distance, it was just a bald head shining brightly, which was particularly eye-catching.

Feeling humiliated, his head congested and unbearably congested, and choking on the dust raised by the horse's hooves, he cursed and vowed to kill Commander Lu.

Commander Lu laughed, tore off the head of one of his attendants, formed a group, and stuffed it into Huaiyi's mouth, and the convoy immediately quieted down, and only the horse's hooves could be heard and the wheels rolling.

The convoy soon entered Luoyang City, and when it passed by the trackhouse, the children were sent back to the princess's mansion, Yin'er was very worried and wanted to follow along, Shen Mengxi smiled with relief and told him not to worry.

The carriage continued to walk, and the group swaggered all the way through the city, around most of Luoyang City, and went towards the imperial city in the northwest direction, passers-by pointed at the Huaiyi monk on horseback, and the ignorant bold child jumped up and down with the convoy to watch the excitement, and there were also officials who knew Huaiyi, thinking in their hearts, this time it was a hard hit, and there was going to be a good show.

Entering the imperial city, the soldiers stayed at the gate of the city and waited, Commander Lu put down the purple face of the monk Huaiyi, took out the head in his mouth, Huaiyi sat on the floor tiles, panting.

Shen Mengxi had already changed shoulders and continued to move forward, and Commander Lu pulled Huaiyi, who was tied up with five flowers, and followed behind the shoulders.

When she entered the palace, Shen Mengxi also walked on her shoulders, pointed to a little eunuch who carried the load of green vegetables, and followed her towards Ziwei Palace. Followed by Commander Lu and Monk Huaiyi, a strange four-person combination, walking in the palace city, shocked that the servants and maids in the past even forgot to salute.

Not long after they entered Luoyang City, the queen of heaven had already received the news and knew the ins and outs of the matter. At this moment, the eunuch was ordered to come out and bring the four of them to Ziwei Palace.

Walking to the bottom of the stone steps in front of the hall, the monk Huaiyi suddenly knelt on the ground, and burst out crying, like a lost child finally finding the door, and like a little girl in love with her boyfriend, he grabbed the ground with his head, crying high and low. Shen Mengxi walked up the steps, and when he passed by, he stepped on his outstretched palm, and when he heard him cry even more poignantly, he couldn't help laughing: The dead thief is bald, if you want to step on me to become famous, I will step on you first!

There were two palace maids standing at the door of the hall, and when they saw Shen Mengxi squatting down to salute and greet him, they invited Shen Mengxi to enter the hall, and then looked at the back hesitantly, and also invited the Huaiyi monk into the hall.

After taking off his shoes under the porch, Shen Mengxi gently walked into the Tianhou dormitory, only to see the Tianhou sitting crookedly on a huge Arhat couch with a thin brocade quilt on her legs, silently watching them enter the hall, with no joy or anger on her face.

Shen Mengxi glanced at the queen of heaven, bowed her head and saluted, called A-Niang, and when she heard the queen say that she was flat, she got up and walked to the front of the couch, and the palace maid placed a futon in front of her.

As soon as he sat down, before he could speak, the Huaiyi monk behind him sobbed, knelt down on his knees and walked to the couch, buried his head in the knees of the queen of heaven, and let out a whimpering cry of infinite grievance, crying until the queen of heaven sighed, reached out and stroked his bald head, and personally untied the rope on his body.

The palace maids and eunuchs in the palace hurriedly came up to untie the ropes, Huaiyi was tall and big, but at this moment he threw himself into the arms of the queen of heaven like a milk swallow throwing into the forest, wrapped his hands around the waist of the queen, and said vaguely: "The queen of heaven, the queen of heaven almost can't see it again, Huaiyi, that arrow, almost killed my son!" He stretched out his red finger and put it in front of the queen's eyes.

Shen Mengxi was the first time he had seen a man so coquettish, and he only felt cold. I don't understand why the queen likes such a man, is it lustful and dizzy, or does she keep men as pets? She coughed lightly, and the queen stopped and looked up at her, her eyes a little disgusted.

Shen Mengxi ignored her, but motioned to the eunuch to send fresh vegetables, "A-Niang, this is produced by Er Zhuangzi, although it is not worth anything, it is the first batch to be picked in winter, and I want to share it with A-Niang." The queen of heaven had never received such a gift, and when she saw that the two baskets of vegetables were very fresh, as if they had just been picked, she smiled and said, "In winter, these are rare." Good! Good! Yue'er can think of A-Niang, A-Niang is very happy. ”

The queen of heaven is really happy, this year, because of Xue Shao's death, Taiping has been faint with her, neither complaining, nor close, which makes her feel sad, she loves this little daughter the most, everything is for her sake, but she can't understand the painstaking work of being a mother. Now Taiping has sent melons, fruits and vegetables, which is obviously reconciled with her.

Shen Mengxi pointed at the Huaiyi monk, "This monk, on the road outside the city, was disrespectful, disturbed the guard of honor, intended to assassinate, almost shot the princess's personal guards, and was captured by my guards, but he was only tied, not punished, and brought to Ah Niang for disposal!" ”

Huaiyi heard it and cried, "Wronged, the queen of heaven, the little monk did not assassinate, but the princess bullied the little monk, shot the horses, overturned a cart of royal gifts, and almost sealed his throat with an arrow, shooting the little monk to death!" After speaking, he cried again, and the queen of heaven was softly pacified, one with a big waist and a round tone, and the other with gray hair full of tenderness, which made Shen Mengxi's goosebumps rise layer by layer.

"Enough!" Shen Mengxi patted the case next to him, pointed at Huaiyi, and scolded: "Five big and three coarse and one big man, don't you feel cold and stupid?" Auntie! This cheap slave can only cry and cry, and he doesn't have to let the countries of Fanbang think that my Tang Dynasty boys are so delicate and have destroyed the prestige of my great country! Don't be a scoundrel! Go back and find a dozen men who are a hundred times better than this dog slave and send them! ”

After speaking, he got up and said goodbye to the queen of heaven, "Auntie, the wedding date is coming, and the affairs are busy." Those vegetables should remember to eat, so they will retire first! ”

The queen of heaven looked at her crazy daughter and her coquettish lover, her head was very big, she sighed, and waved her hand to let Shen Mengxi go.

Monk Huaiyi looked at the queen of heaven in surprise, and then looked at Princess Taiping who walked towards the door, this, this, the ins and outs of the matter have not been explained clearly, why did Princess Taiping leave? It's as if she really just came into the palace to deliver vegetables. Also, will she really send a new face to the diva? There were so many thoughts in my heart that I forgot to cry for a while.

Waiting for Shen Mengxi to stride out of Ziwei Palace, the queen of heaven touched the bald head of Monk Huaiyi and said with a smile: "Obedient!" Little monk, Taiping will pass through the road to the White Horse Temple to go to the villa, next time, you ordered someone to find out whether there is a Taiping guard of honor on the road first, and then set the itinerary, write it down? Taiping has been arrogant since he was a child, and I can't care about being a mother, you just avoid her. ”

Although Monk Huaiyi had already prepared in his heart, he couldn't accept the reality of this complete defeat that was completely despised for a while, and sat on the ground and couldn't do anything for a while.
