Chapter 789: The concubines and nuns come together to testify
When Wang Ping'an said he wanted to find those former concubines, Empress Wang was slightly stunned. She felt sad. Why were the former concubines in the temple sent here to be nuns? Isn't it because they had never given birth to princes and daughters? If they had children, they would not have given up their own children and would not have suffered in Ganye Temple.
As the queen, of course she will not be a nun in the future. No matter how she adopts the eldest son of the emperor, Li Zhong, even if Li Zhong cannot be the crown prince or the emperor in the future, a prince will be able to escape steadily. Moreover, no matter who becomes the crown prince or ascends the throne, she will be regarded as her mother. The title of the empress dowager belongs to her. As long as Xiao Shufei's son becomes the emperor, her personal safety is basically guaranteed.
Queen Wang whispered: "Then let's ask them to come. I want to see them too. I wonder how well they are in the temple?"
Wang Ping'an sighed and said, "If you want to say it, it may not be necessary. You just have to live a life and live the rest of your life." After a pause, he added: "I heard that because I can't eat anything in the temple, the concubines had diarrhea last time. It was not healing for many days. It was the medicine I prescribed to cure them and avoid the pain of the disease."
After saying that, he left the house and went to call the concubines and nuns himself.
After hearing the following sentence, Queen Wang was stunned. What? Could it be that after those concubines entered Ganye Temple, they could not even solve the problem of eating? They even had a stomachache!
She remembered her fate again. If she became the empress dowager in the future, the emperor was not her own. If the emperor felt uncomfortable and disliked her, she would not have to treat herself. Just give her a hint, then the little eunuchs and palace maids in the palace could make things difficult for the emperor. For example, if she had to eat her stomach and not be treated in time, wouldn’t that mean that she would die of illness?
The more I thought about it, the more I became more and more scared. It was so scary that I couldn't give birth to a son! Queen Wang sighed heavily and looked at Wu Meiniang. She saw the little nun standing in front of her with her eyebrows down and bently standing in front of her.
Queen Wang asked, "You came from the Turks? You are from Han, how did you marry into the Turks?"
Wu Meiniang said: "Pinni's father is a businessman. He took Poinni to the Turkic business. He met a robber on the way and was robbed into the Turkic tribe. He had to marry Xiao Khan in the tribe."
Queen Wang said oh and looked at Wu Meiniang carefully, and felt familiar. But because she really couldn't remember what Wu Meiniang looked like before, she didn't have a portrait to prove it, so she could only rely on memory. It seemed that Wu Meiniang was not like this in memory, but she couldn't tell what the difference was.
Wu Meiniang was very obedient and didn't say anything without asking. Even if she asked, she would answer in a rough voice, trying her best to show her at a loss. Because as long as Queen Wang didn't ask her to look up, she lowered her head and looked at the legs of the table. In this way, her naked head was facing Queen Wang.
The concubines in the palace were very caring for their hair, with black hair as clouds and various jewelry on it. When Wu Meiniang was in the palace, although there was no good jewelry to put it on her hair, her hair was long and wrapped around her head, which was definitely not as bald as she is now, and there was no similarity.
Queen Wang was not very familiar with Wu Meiniang. After Wu Meiniang's appearance changed a lot, she couldn't remember it. For a moment, she couldn't think of anything to ask. Because Wang Ping'an told her that this little nun intended to conceal her life experience, she wouldn't tell the truth even if she asked her. Queen Wang was 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 large courtyard where the concubines and nuns lived, called them out, saying that the queen had come to see them, and also found the leading old nun to hint. The old nun was quite ready and solemnly said that she would definitely be a witness, and said that Master Kong was not Wu Meiniang.
Only then did Wang Ping'an take 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. However, now they have become nuns. When they see their younger generations, they have to salute others. Things in the world are impermanent, so this is the best way!
A prime minister, with a group of nuns of all sizes, came to the house where the queen was staying. The house was too small and could not stand, so the leading few old nuns came in, and the rest of the nuns were waiting outside.
Wang Ping'an entered the house and said, "Empress, I have invited all the masters." After that, he stood aside and looked at Wu Meiniang.
Just as Wu Meiniang looked at him at this time, the two of them blinked their eyes and understood the spirit in their hearts, and everything was indifferent.
When Queen Wang saw these concubines and nuns, she stood up from the couch with a roar, stunned and couldn't speak. She knew all these concubines and nuns before, and she often met in her spare time. At that time, everyone was talking and laughing, eating fruit, drinking tea, and playing games. How free and happy it was.
However, now these former empresses are all wearing generous monk robes. Although they are all wearing monk hats, they can be seen that they have no hair on their heads and no longer have the charm of the past!
These concubines and nuns shocked Queen Wang too much. Of course, Queen Wang knew what the nun should look like. This was not the first time she came to Ganye Temple. But when she saw these people she knew before, all of them became nuns, she felt so bad that she felt bad!
When shocked, Queen Wang thought of herself at the first time. The present of these concubines and nuns is her future tomorrow. The lessons of the past must not be taken lightly. It seems that she must win the palace battle with Concubine Xiao Shu. Li Sujie must not be the crown prince. The crown prince can only be Li Zhong, whom she adopted!
Queen Wang was shocked, and these concubines and nuns felt bad. The princess became the queen and the scenery was even more beautiful than the past, but what about them? They went to the nun temple to eat vegetarian food and recite scriptures. People are really different from each other!
The leading old nun chanted Amitabha and said, "Empress, thank you for remembering us, we gave you a greeting!"
As they said that, the concubines and nuns all blessed the Queen and performed the etiquette in the palace before. Until now, they have not been able to adapt to the change of their identities. Apart from chanting Amitabha Buddha a few times, even the Pope Niu rarely calls themselves.
Queen Wang said, came back to her senses, and said, "Everyone... Masters, don't be too polite, let's... let's just be the same as before. You sit down, sit!"
Wang Ping'an made a gesture to the host, Old Ni, and the host, Old Ni, ordered his disciples to bring in small stools and sit for the concubines and nuns.
Queen Wang asked softly: "My masters, are you doing well 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 all over and 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. After returning to the palace, he told the queen about your life. The queen was very worried, so today I will visit you in person. What are the difficulties you have? Let me tell the queen. The queen is kind and will definitely agree to you."
The nuns thanked him quickly and said that they were very comfortable to be nuns. They agreed that nuns are a profession with a bright future and planned to continue working from now on, and they did not expect to change careers!
Queen Wang almost burst into tears as she heard this, and said, "My masters, you have a hard life, but you force yourself to smile and don't make me sad. It's so difficult for you."
The nuns expressed their gratitude again. Everyone sat together and sighed and said something irrelevant. Anyway, it was just to let the queen relax. If the queen could not come often, then let the Prime Minister Wang come often. When they were in the palace, they planned ahead and made some investments. Now they could pay dividends, so they asked the queen to issue an order to protect their income and make them live a more comfortable life.
These are all trivial matters, so Queen Wang naturally agreed, and there was no need for her to do anything in person. She just ordered Wang Ping'an, how could she not agree?
After talking homely for a long time, the room became quiet again. Wang Ping'an coughed, pointed at Wu Meiniang, and asked, "My masters, this time I came to the temple and saw this little master accidentally. I felt a little familiar. It seemed to look similar to a concubine in the palace, but for a moment I couldn't remember who it was. You can tell me, see if I can remember it!"
As soon as he said this, the people in the room became nervous. Wu Meiniang's heart was pounding. Now the time to determine her fate has come. If these concubines and nuns talk nonsense, she will be finished. She may have to be a good nun in this life. For her, being a nun is not a profession with a bright future.
The host, Lao Ni and her disciples were all surprised. Lekong looked like the concubines in the palace before? What did you say? This is not the first time Wang Xiangye saw her today. Why didn’t he mention it before, but now he mentions it in front of the Empress?
The host, Old Ni, thought to himself: "No, is it that Wang Xiangye is so difficult for the temple, not because he is full, but because he is empty?"
Her disciples thought to themselves: "Lakong looks similar to the concubines in the palace before? No, even if she looks like her, she can still be a concubine? I look better than her!"
The disciples all thought that they were much more beautiful than Kong. Even the second senior sister, Leran, thought so. If the eldest senior sister was here at this time, they might have to think that she was more beautiful than Kong. No woman thought she was not as good as others. Nuns were also women. They also had this idea and thought that they were the beauty!
The concubines and nuns looked at Wu Meiniang together. That is, now Lekong. They were all people who were instructed by Wang Ping'an. Their calibers had long been unified, and no one could say that Kong looked similar to someone, no matter whether this person was Wu Meiniang or Wen Meiniang!
The concubines and nuns looked at Wu Meiniang for a while and shook their heads together. The leading old nun showed a confused expression on her face and asked: "She looks similar to the people in the palace before? I can't tell who is similar to anyone? I wonder which concubine is Wang Xiangye referring to?"
Queen Wang's heart was raised. If Kong and Wu Meiniang were similar, she would inevitably be upset, because the difficulty of bringing Wu Meiniang into the palace would undoubtedly increase. But if Kong and Wu Meiniang were not like Wu Meiniang, the chance of success would be much greater, so she naturally would have to care more!
Wang Ping'an glanced at Queen Wang and saw that she became nervous, so he turned to the old nun and said, "It's similar to a queen named Wen. Master, please recognize her well. Is it true?"
"Empress Wen? Who is Empress Wen?" The concubines and nuns shook their heads together, saying that they couldn't remember who Empress Wen was.
Wang Ping'an said: "Master Li Kong, please raise your head and let the masters take a good look. How similar are you and Empress Wen?"
Wu Meiniang raised her head and turned her face to the concubines and nuns, so that they could see clearly. The concubines and nuns who were once of high-ranking 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 to let them know them, so they really didn't know each other, not pretending.
But among the concubines and nuns, there are some who are about the same age as Wu Meiniang and have similar grades, and there are even those who have known Wu Meiniang before. When these nuns saw Wu Meiniang, they felt a sudden sigh of relief. Isn’t this Wu Cairen? But after a long time not seeing her, she was a little plump and her skin was darker, but her general appearance had not changed and could still be recognized.
But what if they recognize Wu Meiniang? What is the evidence that she was the first Wu Cairen? Even if she tried to prove that she was, what are the benefits for herself? If she tried to prove that she was Wu Meiniang, would there be a result? Will anyone believe it? Also, do they don’t want to live anymore? Although being a nun is a little harder, she can survive after all. It is worse than dying. It is better to live without a chance than dying!
Princess and nuns, look at me, look at you, shake your head again, no one makes a sound.
Wang Ping'an said, "I remembered it wrongly. It was not Empress Wen, but Wu Meiniang. The concubine was named Wu Meiniang. She was a talented man in the palace. Everyone called 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 on her butt, and she actually had a *** stand up!
The concubines and nuns were still silent, but they still didn't say anything. As long as they didn't ask about their heads, no one would say anything. No matter whether it was elephant or not, they wouldn't say anything. Leave everything to others. If they found their heads in the future, they would have a refusal. When they were verified, they didn't say anything. Even if they wanted to pursue it, they would pursue it!
Only the leading old nun heard the three words Wu Meiniang, and suddenly said, "Wu Meiniang, Wu Cairen? Lao Shi remembers this person and also knows her. In this way, she is..." She looked at Wu Meiniang intently.
Wang Ping'an almost jumped up, why? You promised it well. Do you want to regret it now? His eyes immediately glared!
