Chapter 638. Wu Cao enters the palace
In the world, the Tang Dynasty Royal Temple.
The jade pipa spirit walked quickly into the meditation room and bowed to Wu Cao, who was sitting on the bamboo couch: "Niangniang, His Majesty the Human Emperor is here!"
She called Wu Cao her mother, not that Wu Cao had entered the palace as a concubine, but a kind of honorific title for the Xuanmen fairy. Just like Yunxiao Niangniang and Shiji Niangniang, although Wu Cao's Taoism is not worthy of the title of Niangniang, she is the master of the jade pipa essence, and it is not an exaggeration to call her the jade pipa essence.
"Oh, Your Majesty is here!" Wu Cao heard this, accepted the Xuan Gong, and said to the nine-tailed demon fox standing beside him, "How is it?"
The nine-tailed demon fox said respectfully: "As long as Niangniang acts according to the plan, she can enter the palace." ”
"Okay!" Wu Cao's eyes flashed, turning into a blue light and disappearing into the meditation room.
This day is the anniversary of Taizong's death, as the son of man, Li Zhi is the emperor of the people, and he must also be filial piety in front of the subjects of the world, so he entered the Ganye Temple to incense.
After entering the incense, Li Zhi, as the emperor, actually asked to stay overnight in the Ganye Temple.
In the meditation room specially arranged for Li Zhi by the abbot of Ganye Temple, Li Zhi said to the old eunuch beside him: "You go to find someone to ask, there are martial artists in the palace in this temple." ”
"The old slave obeys!" Listening to the orders of the emperor's majesty, the old eunuch respectfully responded to the errand. It's just that Li Zhi didn't see it, and when the old eunuch lowered his head deeply, a cold light flashed in his falcon-like eyes.
The old eunuch walked out of the meditation room, and really according to what Li Zhi said, he quietly found the concubines in the palace in the past, and asked about Wu Cao. turned into a golden light and flew straight to Wu Cao's small courtyard.
What the old eunuch didn't know was that he had just turned naked and left. A blue light fell outside Li Zhi's meditation room, turning into Wu Cao in a white robe. What was surprising was that when Wu Cao appeared, the surrounding imperial guards didn't even see such a big living person.
In front of the meditation room, Wu Cao knocked on the door and called in a low voice: "Your Majesty!"
"Who!" Li Zhi's loud voice came from the meditation room, this human emperor is now in the prime of life.
Wu Cao gently pushed the door. Dodge inside. When she did this, she had already sealed the entire meditation room with her supernatural powers, and no one could see what she was doing.
Although he was born extremely beautiful. In the twelve years in the palace, Wu Cao has never been favored by Tang Taizong. But during Tang Taizong's serious illness, he got acquainted with Li Zhi, who was still the crown prince at the time. The two secretly have feelings for each other, but Taizong is still there. I didn't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool. After the death of Taizong. Wu Cao was sent to Ganye Temple as a nun, but in Li Zhi's heart, there has always been such a shadow.
I haven't seen him for a whole year, and the moment he saw Wu Cao again, Li Zhi's heart trembled, and he couldn't stop walking a few steps, walked towards Wu Cao, and reached out to hold Wu Cao's jade hand. Affectionately called: "Mei Niang!"
......
A golden light fell in the Zen courtyard where Wu Cao was, and the old eunuch sent by Li Zhi appeared. The light in his eyes flowed and he looked into the meditation room. Sensing that there was someone in the meditation room, the old eunuch shook his body and flew towards the door.
Flying to the door, the old eunuch formed five fingers into claws, and with one grasp, he broke the wooden door of the pineapple and rushed into the room to grab the woman in the house.
The nine-tailed demon fox suddenly opened his eyes, saw the old lady who rushed towards him, and sneered: "Disciple of Buddhism, you have actually entered the palace. As he spoke, Luo flicked his sleeves, and a dark light flew away, covering the old eunuch who was flying in the air.
Shrouded in Xuanguang, the old eunuch's expression changed greatly, and he screamed: "You are not Wu Cao, who are you!"
"Buddhism also wants to harm my mother?" Hearing that the old eunuch was here to find Wu Cao, the cold light flashed in the eyes of the nine-tailed demon fox and phoenix, and he reached out and grabbed it, and a golden light flew from the top door of the old eunuch, and the old eunuch rolled his eyes and collapsed to the ground.
Grasping the old eunuch's Yuan Shen in his hand, the nine-tailed demon fox's hand flashed with a flash of light, and directly wiped out his Yuan Shen, and then said to the jade pipa spirit on the side: "Sister, it's time for you to enter the palace!"
When the jade pipa spirit heard this, a smile appeared on his face, "Great, I can still find the second sister when I enter the palace!"
The nine-tailed demon fox's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Sister, don't come nonsense, remember to put Niangniang's affairs first after entering the palace, if you break Niangniang's big business, my sister can't protect you." ”
When the nine-tailed demon fox said this, the jade pipa spirit reminded the Holy Mother of Wudang that day, and her body trembled involuntarily, and she quickly turned into a ray of brilliance and disappeared into the old eunuch's body. Then I saw the old eunuch turn over, stretch out his hands and rub them on his body for a while, and saluted the nine-tailed demon fox, "Sister, sister go!"
......
After a long absence, Li Zhi always found an excuse to run to Ganye Temple, and his strange behavior attracted the attention of many people, especially the current queen, Queen Wang from the Taiyuan Wang family.
In the eyes of the ministers, Li Zhi deserves to be the son of benevolence and filial piety, but in the eyes of the queen, his emperor husband is a stealing cat.
"Jiu'er, Your Majesty is really ...... with that Wu Cao" Queen Wang asked the palace maid beside her, but halfway through the words, it was not good to say any more, this matter was not a good thing after all. If one is not careful, let this matter spread out of his palace, even if he is the queen, he will not escape death.
The palace maid Jiu'er nodded timidly, "Niangniang, this matter is true, Jiu'er heard it from Gonggong Li." ”
"Father-in-law Li!" Listening to Jiu'er's words, Queen Wang's face rose with a layer of evil, and she pointed at Jiu'er and shouted: "Such a big thing, why would Gonggong Li say it to you!"
Seeing that Queen Wang was angry, Jiu'er hurriedly knelt down and said with a crying voice: "Niangniang is angry, and the slave and maid don't know, this matter was told by Gonggong Li to the slave and maid!"
"That old eunuch has this heart...... Queen Wang rolled her eyes, and shouted to Jiu'er again: "Say! What else did Gonggong Li say!"
Grandpa Li...... Gonggong Li also asked the slave to tell the mother that the martial arts could balance Concubine Xiao Shu. ”
Queen Huo Ran got up, paced around the room with her hands in her hands, and after a while, a cold smile appeared on her face, "That old eunuch is worthy of serving the master of three generations of emperors, and he can come up with this method of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf!"
Three days later, Li Zhi returned to the palace from Ganye Temple, and as soon as he entered the palace, he heard a report from someone that the queen asked to see him.
"No!" Li Zhi waved his hand and said no. It turned out that the queen and queen often competed with Concubine Xiao Shu in the palace, and the two fought in the inner courtyard of the palace, which made Li Zhi tireless. At this time, when he heard Queen Wang ask to see her, he thought that she was going to talk about Concubine Xiao Shu's evil smile again, thinking about the gentle and lovely Wu Cao, Li Zhi secretly said in his heart: "It's still my beautiful girl!"
Gonggong Li, that is, the old eunuch possessed by the jade pipa spirit, was ordered by Li Zhi to go out of the palace to catch up with the queen and queen, and after a while, he came to Li Zhi's side and whispered: "Your Majesty, the queen said that she came for the martial arts." ”
"What!" Li Zhi sat up straight suddenly, glared at the jade pipa spirit and shouted, "How did she know about this?"
"The old slave doesn't know, maybe the palace people and guards are not strict. The jade pipa spirit pretended to be sincere and frightened on his face, but secretly smiled in his heart. No one knew better than she what was going on. This is exactly what she told the palace maid Jiu'er, and that Jiu'er is none other than the nine-headed pheasant essence.
"Go, announce her in!"
"The old slave obeys!"
After a while, a gust of incense wafted into the palace, and the queen slowly came to bow down in front of Li Zhi, saying long live. After that, he told Li Zhi his intentions.
"What you said is true?" When Li Zhi heard Queen Wang's intentions, he couldn't help but be shocked. This queen said that if she wanted to, she would summon the Wu clan to return to the palace and serve Li Zhi.
The queen mother is the world, in charge of the three palaces and six courts. Although Concubine Xiao Shu relied on the fact that she had an heir under her knees, she did not take the childless queen in her eyes, but the queen is the queen after all, and the queen who occupies the position of righteousness will not be criticized if she summons Wu Cao into the palace. Otherwise, Li Zhi, as the lord of the world, would not dare to make such a will.
After receiving a positive answer from the mouth of the queen Wang, Li Zhixi couldn't help himself, he had long wanted to get Wu Cao back to the palace, but he was afraid that the Manchu Dynasty would criticize him by the civil and military. Now that I have the decree of the queen and the queen, I will be able to be with Wu Cao justifiably in a few days.
After Queen Wang returned to the palace, she ordered the palace maid Jiu'er to pass the decree to Ganye Temple and summon Wu Cao into the palace to accompany the king. Because it was the order of the queen and the queen, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not think much about it, but in the harem, there was one person who was alert.
Concubine Xiao Shu, a member of the Xiao clan in Lanling, is a descendant of the Qiliang royal family. Because of his charming appearance, he was quite favored by Li Zhi. and relied on himself to give birth to a son and two daughters, compared with the queen who has no outbreak, he has the advantage of having children, and he thinks about moving to the queen all day long, and his mother is the world.
In the past, Concubine Xiao Shu favored the harem, and no one could compare with her. But since the anniversary of Emperor Taizong, Concubine Xiao Shu found that Li Zhi didn't come to her palace very often, and secretly checked and knew that Li Zhi often went to Ganye Temple to burn incense, and after burning incense, he had to live in Ganye Temple for two days.
Although I don't know what Li Zhi is doing in the Ganye Temple, the delicate-minded Concubine Xiao Shufei thought that in addition to the Buddhist nuns in the Ganye Temple, she was the concubine of the former emperor. It's just that Concubine Xiao Shu didn't take this matter to heart, whether it was the nun of Ganye Temple or the concubine of the former emperor, it was not brought to the palace by Li Zhi, as long as she did not enter the palace, there would be no threat to her status, and the other concubines Xiao Shu didn't care.
But today, I heard that Queen Wang issued an order to summon Wu Meiniang, a talented person from Taizong, into the palace, and Concubine Xiao Shu couldn't sit still. Drove the palace maid out of the palace, Concubine Xiao Shu pushed at the head of her bed, only to hear the sound of rattling, Concubine Xiao's bed moved away, and a passage appeared at the feet of Concubine Xiao.
Going down the stairs, the bottom is open, and this is not a secret room, but a Buddhist hall. In this Buddha hall, it is the Buddha of Zhantan Merit, that is, the first holy monk Xuanzang in the world.
Concubine Xiao Shu knelt in front of the Buddha statue and bowed: "The Buddha is above, the disciple Xiao sincerely bows! The disciple entered the palace to accompany the Buddha on the order of the Buddha, and did not want a demon girl to confuse the holy ......."
Concubine Xiao's words rose straight up with the light smoke emitted by the incense. (To be continued......)
