Li Zhi pinched Wu Meiniang¡¯s cheek for a while, and he really couldn¡¯t bear it for his future wife.
At this time, he hugged her and went into the inner bedroom. Huijing saw her outside. She recited a Buddhist scripture and untied her collar. There was a breath in her throat, which was stuck and uncomfortable, with a slight dryness.
Until her disciple inside called her, Huijing quickly pulled off her light blue robe and walked inside almost quickly.
In the courtyard outside the Xiangtang, the Empress Dowager Changsun sat casually here, accompanied by several concubines of the former emperor accompanying the Empress Dowager.
They were both the concubines of the former emperor, and they were both high-ranking people with palace status at that time.
"The people who accompanied the eldest grandson and the Queen Mother had one thing in common, that is, they all lived through the best years of a woman's life.
"Empress Dowager, can I ask if those rumors in Chang'an are true?"
"Who can tell whether it is true or false? What you see is true. If you cannot see it, no matter what others say, it is not true."
The Empress Dowager Changsun actually sympathized with these women to a certain extent. After all, she came from an era where men and women were equal. It was impossible for such a thing to happen. After the emperor died, a large number of concubines in the harem had to become nuns.
After all, it is desolate to always accompany the ancient Buddha with green lanterns. If you are not dedicated to the Buddha, this is really torture for a woman, especially when they watch themselves continue to age day by day in front of the Buddha, it is even more torture.
Will these women from the harem devote themselves to the Buddha? Obviously the answer is no.
The Queen Mother felt sorry for them, so she said this.
The former emperor¡¯s concubines looked at the queen mother, and then looked at each other. In fact, the people sitting here were not low-ranking in the harem when the late emperor was around, and they were at least fourth-grade beauties or above.
"I believe it. Look at the Queen Mother and see if there has been no change."
The Empress Dowager Changsun smiled, and the former concubines naturally nodded, saying that the Queen Mother had not changed at all after seeing her in the past few years.
"That rumor seems to be true. It's a pity that we entered Ganye Temple. If we are still in the harem, we must be closer to His Majesty."
"Yes, it's best to live near Wanchun Palace."
"I really envy my sister!"
This sound resonated with several people, and also caused a sigh in the Queen Mother's heart.
These women who come to Ganye Temple from the harem are indeed pitiful.
"Empress, I heard that Your Majesty accompanied your Majesty to Ganye Temple to offer incense this time."
The Empress Dowager Changsun looked at the person who spoke. This was one of the nine concubines of the late emperor.
"Yes, Zhi'er came with me!"
"The Queen Mother, where is your Majesty now?"
The Empress Dowager Changsun thought about her cheap son. If she told these people at this time, she would probably not be able to live in peace when Zhi'er came to Ganye Temple in the future.
Although these harem concubines have entered the temple, they still attach great importance to their appearance. Especially since I allowed them to practice with their hair, deep down in their hearts, they did not regard themselves as bhiksunis before the Buddha.
"He is in the temple now, catching up with old friends. You will see him soon."
The Queen Mother said this, and the faces of these women naturally showed a look of expectation.
A man there also took a box of rouge from his sleeve and gave it to the Queen Mother. These concubines were originally of high rank in the palace, and their family backgrounds were naturally very good. In this era, those who could gain a firm foothold in the palace, Who doesn't have a deep family background behind him?
Now that they have entered Ganye Temple, they actually do not lack care from their families. Someone takes the lead, so naturally everyone has a greeting gift. This is filial piety.
Most of them are jewelry, rouge, etc. Some people also gave jade Ruyi and other gifts. Naturally, the Empress Dowager Changsun did not refuse. It would not look good to refuse. Besides, they are not in short supply of this.
There Qiu Ju and Dong Mei came over to collect these, and several of the former emperor's concubines sat here, talking with the Queen Mother.
At this time, everyone made a tacit understanding and stopped mentioning the rumors circulating in the palace. They only talked about some interesting things in the harem. Thinking of the late emperor, they were filled with grief.
Li Zhi was sitting on the bed at this time. Huijing's bed was a little too small before, and she specially asked someone to change it to a larger and stronger one.
Her status in Ganye Temple is second only to Hui Xian, so naturally it is easy to do this.
Li Zhi was sitting on the bed, and Wu Meiniang next to her was stroking Li Zhi's calf with her hands. After a while, she couldn't help but caressed her hands randomly, and was lightly hit by Li Zhi.
"Mei Niang, please help me get dressed, my mother is still waiting for me over there!"
"Your Majesty, pleaseStay a little longer, Mei Niang finally meets His Majesty, and wants His Majesty to spend more time with Mei Niang. "
"Yes! Your Majesty finally comes to the temple, please let us masters and disciples spend more time with your Majesty."
Li Zhi turned to look at Huijing, and touched the bald head a few more times.
This woman has become more and more proactive after getting used to it. Mei Niang left him alone, and Huijing also helped to speak.
"Okay, then I will stay with you for a while."
After hearing this, Wu Meiniang happily hugged Li Zhi's thigh and pressed her face tightly against Li Zhi's leg.
Li Zhi stroked her bun and gently patted Wu Meiniang's head. This young lady from the Wu family, who had been entangled with Li Zhi all her life, now understood why His Majesty patted her head and obeyed it obediently. His Majesty's thoughts are attentive to Li Zhi.
There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. Li Zhi promised to spend more time with them, but he still had to leave after all.
After Wu Meiniang personally helped Li Zhi get dressed, Li Zhi walked out of the courtyard. When he walked to the place where his mother was resting, someone there said, "Your Majesty is here."
Immediately, Li Zhi saw several older nuns with long hair kneeling there and bowing in his direction.
Li Zhi said something about himself, and then he saw a few eyes falling on him.
That look was so earnest and unhesitating that Li Zhi suddenly thought of the looks of the ladies he saw in the Bamboo Garden yesterday.
Perhaps the Empress Dowager Changsun was deliberately playing tricks on her son, just to make it more difficult for him. At this time, she stood up and looked at everyone.
"Your Majesty is here, you should also chat with His Majesty. I am tired, so go over there and rest for a while."
Qiu Ju and Dong Mei naturally left quickly with the Queen Mother. Immediately, only the late Emperor's concubines and the current True Dragon Emperor Li Zhi were left in this courtyard.
¡°And because the Queen Mother is resting here in this courtyard, Hui Xian has already given instructions that no one can come and disturb her.
As soon as the Queen Mother left, Li Zhi's arm was pulled by a concubine of the late emperor, and Li Zhi immediately felt bad.
This is a repeat of what happened in Zhuyuan yesterday! The only difference is that these nuns are the concubines of the late emperor at this time, whereas yesterday they were a group of ministers, princes, nobles and wives from wealthy families in Chang'an.
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a long time. Now that I see your Majesty, I still feel as close as I did when I saw him in the harem." (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
