This is not nonsense on her part. Her elder sister who took care of her once secretly told her that the emperor wanted to canonize the empress as queen. Although she only heard about it through her mouth at that time and did not hear it with her own ears, but last year her
I did indeed hear the emperor’s old stories being brought up again.
But the empress looked shocked and quickly knelt down and declined.
She couldn't figure out which of the concubines in the palace was not aiming for this position? Why would her own concubine refuse?
If you are worried that someone will stop you after it is abolished, then that’s not the case.
Even the maid who served the empress like her knew that the emperor not only killed the former emperor's grandson, but also took away the title of the queen's father and exiled the queen's elder brother and younger brother. The queen was already an empty frame. Even if he wanted to abolish the queen, there would be no
A few people dared to intercede for the queen.
Because everyone with such abilities had gone to the cold palace to spy on the queen, Concubine Wu looked at her calmly and did not explain, only smiled softly: "If virtue is not worthy of the position, you will suffer. This sentence
Do you understand?"
"It seems like they understand, but they don't seem to understand." Most of the people who entered the palace in the Zheng Dynasty were women from poor families. Whether they had their private parts cut off to be eunuchs, or women like them who served nobles, it was extremely difficult for them to be literate and read.
If so, the palace maid really doesn’t understand.
Concubine Wu didn't seem to intend to explain, but just sighed softly: "Get ready to prepare the meal. I'm afraid that wild girl from Xinping should be back by now."
Then he was helped to stand up.
Princess Xinping wanted to change her clothes before coming over, but Aunt Xu arrived first. When Concubine Wu came out, she immediately came over to salute.
"Empress, I have something to report to you!"
"Tell me." Concubine Wu sighed again and looked at the slave girl given to her daughter: "Did that wild girl go to find that monk Bianxuan again?"
"...Yes." Since this matter was not a secret in the palace, and there were many confidants of Concubine Wu in the palace, Nanny Xu directly admitted it.
"Why, has she done something even more outrageous?" She felt like her brain was hurting. Concubine Wu really felt helpless towards her daughter.
What a princess, with beautiful appearance, distinguished family background, and the favor of the emperor. She couldn't find any kind of husband, so why did she choose a monk?
Well, that is indeed no ordinary monk.
Although Concubine Wu had never seen Bianxuan with her own eyes, she had heard about him.
The people who were asked all had followed Princess Xinping to see Bianxuan. Everyone, including Aunt Xu who was hostile to Bianxuan, had to admit that this monk was extremely good-looking.
Not only is he outstanding in appearance, but he is also talented and knowledgeable, and his temperament is even more outstanding. Among those noble disciples, there are really few people like him who can match him.
But even if they are not among the children of distinguished nobles, the children of civil servants in the court, or the new scholars?
Even if she falls in love with a poor student, as long as he is not too bad, Concubine Wu will not have such a headache.
After all, the emperor's love for Xinping only needs to be coquettish and polished off. What will happen to his husband who comes from a poor family?
You can still leap into the blue clouds.
After all, the emperor was too fond of him. According to the relevant regulations of the Zheng Dynasty, the princess had the privilege of being granted a household and enjoying the privilege of eating and drinking. The princess was granted 600 households, and the eldest princess was granted 1,000 households.
However, Princess Xinping was granted the title of princess as soon as she fell off the grass. She was granted the title of 600 households when she was twelve years old. After one year, the title was doubled to "1,200 households". It can be seen that the emperor's favor was given to both the kings of Shu and Qi.
I can’t help but look sideways.
The rule that there are 600 households of princesses (imperial daughters) in the court and 1,000 households of eldest princesses (imperial sisters) is to allow the next generation of emperors to bestow favors on the sisters.
Now that you have finished adding favors, what should the next emperor do? Should the number be increased to 2,000 households?
This special love created her lawless situation.
However, Nanny Xu looked happy, lowered her voice, and said somewhat mysteriously: "Your Majesty, you guessed wrong this time. The princess went to Qingyuan Temple this time and met a young master in the layman's garden outside. The princess was very fond of him.
I have a good impression."
"Are you serious?" Nanny Xu's words really made Concubine Wu couldn't help but be surprised.
She asked: "You old man, you spoke so briefly, it is obvious that you are trying to make me anxious, why don't you tell me in detail soon!"
"Yes!" Aunt Xu saw that Concubine Wu was not really angry, so she told Xinping that Monk Bianxuan had coaxed her into telling the story of the Shepherdess and the Arhat.
"If you want to refuse but welcome, you have ulterior motives." Concubine Wu sneered after listening, and then waved her hand: "You continue to talk."
The following is about meeting a young master, who even wrote a poem for the princess.
"It's better not to meet each other, then we don't fall in love; it's better not to know each other, then we don't miss each other; it's better not to accompany each other, then we don't owe each other; it's best not to cherish each other, then we don't remember each other."
"The princess obviously likes this poem very much."
Aunt Xu was working in the palace, but she recited it word for word clearly, and she did not dare to modify a word: "This person also said - there is no way to have both ends in the world, Arhat can only sigh like this, if he could predict, I'm afraid
It’s just that he doesn’t know each other without seeing each other, and that’s good for everyone.”
"It's better not to meet each other, then we don't fall in love; it's better not to know each other, then we don't miss each other." After hearing this poem, Concubine Wu was stunned for a long time, and then she sighed and said, "What is the name of this poem?" p>
"This is the Poem of the Ten Commandments." Nanny Xu replied.
"This young master is serious, this is a remonstrance poem!"
"To be able to live in the Jushi Garden, one must not wait for others, at least he must be a candidate to go to Beijing - this person's appearance is really outstanding?"
Concubine Wu was a little worried when she thought about her daughter's appearance and the comments made by outsiders on Bianxuan.
"Madam, don't worry, this young master is even better than Cao Yiyan!"
Thinking of Cao Yiyan trying to attract the princess's attention more than once, but failing repeatedly, Nanny Xu was disdainful of him and tried to belittle her in her words.
"Cao Yiyan once attended a royal banquet with a real person. You also took a look at it from a distance. At that time, you said that this person has a good temperament and is like a orchid and jade tree. The old servant acquiesced in his approach."
"That's what happened." Concubine Wu nodded.
That was at the beginning of last year. It was a royal ceremony, and all the favored concubines and concubines in the harem could attend, but the seats were separated from those of the men.
She had good eyesight and saw a young man sitting in a corner from a distance. Since she was about the same age as Xinping, she, a mother-in-law, couldn't help but take a few more glances. However, she later learned that the young man was not a descendant of an honorable noble, so she gave up.
.
Who would have thought that soon Xinping would meet Monk Benxuan by chance.
I heard Nanny Xu say with a smile: "This young master is even better than Cao Yiyan. He has good literary talent and a handsome person. He may be a future Jinshi..."
She raised her head and glanced at Concubine Wu. Seeing that she was deep in thought, she boldly said: "If the princess can favor this person, it will be much better than getting close to a monk. The emperor will definitely like him."
This statement has a hint of trying to figure out the holy will.
Normally, Concubine Wu would have warned her if Nanny Xu said this, but now she also hesitated.
