Chapter 505: Creating a chance encounter
Chapter 505: Making an Encounter
Wu Meiniang heard the implicit meaning and immediately made a conspiracy in her heart. She couldn't let the little princess make the words clear. Once she made the words clear, it would be over. She couldn't even agree. Wouldn't that be bad?
The little princess will get married sooner or later. If she leaves the palace, wouldn’t she lose power again? Moreover, when she arrives at the little princess, Shi Zhongchen will no longer be able to take care of her in the future, and she will not be able to restore her title as a talented person. If the little princess likes her so much, how can Shi Zhongchen go against the little princess’ wishes? How can the emperor’s talented person serve the princess? So she can only let her continue to be a palace maid and serve the little princess all the time!
Why did the little princess look at her differently? Needless to say, Wu Meiniang could guess that she had to convey some news to Wang Ping'an through herself or her upcoming mother, saying that the little princess is so cute and so good, to please Wang Ping'an's parents. That's all, she has only a little use, but once the little princess leaves the palace, she will use up her use!
You must not pin your hopes on the idea that the little princess will "repay kindness". Even if the little princess can think of herself, it will not be known how long it will take. Even if she remembers her, the benefits she can still get is to restore the title of talented people. Could it be that she can still be a concubine or something?
Compared with the two, it would be better for her to be the boss of Lixia Palace, why bother to serve others? Anyway, the final result is the same.
These things are a long time to say, but there was only a flash in Wu Meiniang's mind. She smiled and said, "Princess, I naturally feel that I have a relationship with you. To be honest, it's not just my flattery. Your personality is really similar to Your Highness!" After a change of the subject, I immediately changed the content!
Sure enough, Li Yiren was stunned. She couldn't continue what she had arranged. She turned her attention away and stopped asking Wu Meiniang to live here. Instead, she asked: "My personality and I have a very similar personality? Have you ever talked to the Prince's brother? Just like we are now?"
A little palace maid, who was once a talented man of his father, lived in the harem, how could he talk and chat with Li Zhi? Such a thing would not happen in the harem. When Wu Meiniang saw the prince, she was no longer qualified to do anything except hide aside to salute!
Wu Meiniang was funny in her heart. She was still young. The salt I had eaten was more than the rice you had eaten... I was still very young and had never eaten too much salt, so I won't compare with you!
She said, "You can often speak... but Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't remember who I am. Your Highness often goes to the Peony Garden to appreciate flowers and ask me some things, such as how to plant peony."
Li Yiren said a word and was immediately interested. She thought for a while and said, "Peony Garden, Lixia Palace. Oh, isn't that right next to the Lizheng Palace of the Prince's Brother."
Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "Yes, there is only one wall, very close. At this end of the wall, you can often hear the words on the other end of the wall!"
Li Yiren calmed down, looked elsewhere with big eyes, blinking constantly, as if thinking about something.
How smart is Wu Meiniang? Which girl is not in love with her? What's more, when the marriage is about to settle but not settled, it's the culprit of worrying about gains and losses. She also came from the Girls' Generation, so how could she guess what Li Yiren thought now?
The little princess must be thinking at this time that the prince and Wang Ping'an have a good relationship. Since the prince often goes to the Peony Garden to enjoy the flowers, will Wang Ping'an accompany him?
Wu Meiniang said: "From Lizheng Hall to Lixia Hall, there is actually not a need to go to Phoenix Gate. There are also small doors connected on the palace wall. Whenever the prince is tired of studying, he will go to the Peony Garden to relax." She took the word "reading" very seriously.
Li Yiren said, turned her eyes back, and asked, "It is really hard for the prince to study every day, so I should go and relax." After thinking about it, she said, "But it's winter now, and the peony flowers are not blooming. What did the prince go to see?"
This is so easy to answer, with a lot of reasons. Wu Meiniang said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is a filial person. He is tired of studying and putting himself in his heart. Naturally, he thought that the emperor was very tired when handling government affairs. So he often went to the Peony Garden to learn to plant peony, hoping that the peony will bloom more brilliantly next year. In this way, when the emperor went to the Peony Garden to relax, he could see the beautiful flowers and feel better, which would relieve fatigue."
From the perspective of scheming, Li Yiren is not as strong as Wu Meiniang. She has a noble status and is innocent and romantic. But if she is a princess, she will be just an ordinary beautiful girl. Wu Meiniang is neither a girl nor has anything to do with innocence and romance!
Li Yiren didn't realize that Wu Meiniang was looking for reasons for herself. Once she found the reason, she could go to Peony Garden often. When she went to Peony Garden, she could use the excuse of filial piety to the emperor and planting peonies for him. When she went to Peony Garden, it would be best if she had someone familiar with her to explain it to her. The most important thing is that some things she was not good at, so someone could have come forward for her. Is this person a number? Who else could she be?
In this way, Wu Meiniang naturally had to stay in Lixia Palace. Even if other concubines wanted to steal the palace, the little princess had to stop it and had to keep Wu Meiniang's position!
In this way, Wu Meiniang's status has been further consolidated and she is no longer used to serve her here!
Wu Meiniang drew the circle, and Li Yiren immediately forgot her original intention. She said, "The prince is so filial. I have to learn from him to achieve success, and I must be filial to my father."
Wu Meiniang clapped her hands and said, "Oh, Princess, you are so considerate. If Your Highness, you must praise you. If you want to go to the Peony Garden, you can just say it to me in advance. I will plant peony with you. By the way, maybe you can meet Your Highness, you will plant your own plant together with Your Highness, and I will help you."
Li Yiren's eyes lit up and suddenly asked, "That's great. I really want to plant peonies with the prince's brother. But, the prince's brother is just going alone... Yes, Lixia Palace is the harem... Oh, then..." She was a little hesitant, and she was very happy in her little heart, but when she thought of the word harem, the joyful intention sank again. Wang Ping'an of the harem could not come in, and even if the prince's brother valued him, it would not be possible.
Wu Meiniang was shocked, yes, this kind of place is really troublesome in the harem! The little princess went to Peony Garden just to meet the prince by chance. Maybe she could meet Wang Ping'an by chance. This idea is good, but there is absolutely nothing feasible.
Lixia Palace is desolate, but it is also the emperor's harem in the end. It doesn't matter if Li Zhi has nothing to do. Anyway, as long as the emperor doesn't care, no one else dares to speak loudly. But Wang Ping'an is not good. If he goes to the emperor's harem to relax, then the emperor will have to destroy the nine tribes of the Wang family in Xuzhou without any politeness. Wang Ping'an can't go to the emperor's harem to relax. Lizheng Palace is the prince's harem. It is also impossible to disperse when he goes to the Lizheng Palace to relax!
This kind of encounter can only exist in daydreams, and is impossible in reality!
Wu Meiniang bit her lip, and her plan came to her heart again. She said, "Yes, Lixia Palace is a harem, and it is far from Chongxian Hall. If the prince wants to relax, he has to go a long way!"
She suddenly clapped her hands, pretending to have a good idea, and said, "Princess, you just want to be filial to the Emperor, but why did you forget to be a little nicer to Your Highness! Otherwise, Princess, please take your servants and plant peony flowers well and plant the flowers in Chongxian Pavilion. Then, as long as Your Highness is tired, he can enjoy the flowers nearby!"
Li Yiren's eyes lit up and said, "Plant peony flowers at Chongxian Pavilion, which is the place where the prince's brother studied!"
Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "Yes, in this way, the Crown Prince can enjoy the flowers and relax, and can also think carefully about how to plant peonies. In this way, the flowers in the peony garden will be planted better. The emperor will naturally be happier when he goes to appreciate the flowers!"
Li Yiren was overjoyed and said, "Yes, yes, let's plant peonies in Chongxian Pavilion. In this way... I can also study with the prince's brother from time to time, and he will no longer be lonely!"
Wu Meiniang thought to herself: "Even if you don't accompany him, he won't be lonely!" She nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, the princess is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. It can relieve the emperor's fatigue and make the prince read good books. Only the princess can think of such a good idea!"
Li Yiren blinked her big eyes and thought to herself, "It was clearly what you thought about, but how did it become what I thought about!" She smiled and said, "Okay, then let's make a decision. Tomorrow is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the new year begins. I will go to your place tomorrow. Let's choose a few peonies and transplant them to Chongxian Pavilion!"
Wang Ping'an cannot go to Lixia Palace. It doesn't matter. She can go to Chongxian Hall. If he can't come, then she will go. This is called "I will go to the mountain if I don't come, so I will go to the mountain if I don't meet by chance, and I will go to the mountain if I meet by chance, and I will meet by chance every day!
Wu Meiniang whispered and thought to herself, "I'm so impatient, I'm not prepared at all!" But I couldn't say that it was not possible, so I had to nod and said, "Okay, then tomorrow, it's just that the New Year is not over yet. Princess, don't you go to pay New Year's greetings?"
Li Yiren smiled and thought to himself: "The palace maid is the palace maid. I need to wish you a happy New Year to? Who can stand my worship besides my father and the prince's brother... Well, Wang Ping'an's parents are not included!"
Li Yiren is a girlish girl. All girls of her age are like this. When she thinks of anything, she can't wait to do it. But she is not as calm as Wu Meiniang. After thinking about how to meet her by chance, she became anxious and urged Wu Meiniang to go back and prepare. She wants to go to Lixia Palace tomorrow to choose peonies.
Wu Meiniang couldn't do anything, so she had to go back to Lixia Palace, but after she came back, she could no longer fall asleep.
She made her own decisions about what she had done today, and she had never discussed with Li Zhi in advance. I wonder if Li Zhi was willing or not. Moreover, if Li Yiren always took her to Chongxian Pavilion, although she could still meet Li Zhi, her private friendship would be weakened. It would be like now. Li Zhi often came to her and said some "heartfelt words" to her, which would be impossible again!
Everything has advantages and disadvantages, and you can't be perfect!
Wu Meiniang felt a little sad. She wisely chose to restore the title of talent and get along with Li Zhi alone. Of course, she wanted to restore the title of talent. After all, everything about her was on the emperor, not on the prince, but the prince, alas...
Wu Meiniang lay down on the bed again and thought to herself: "The little princess and girl are in love with her, but I am the same. It's just that my intention is hard to say and I can't let others know!"
Every family has a difficult sutra to recite, and everyone has secrets that cannot be announced. This is true for everyone in the world, not only her!
The next morning.
Wang Ping'an got up, but he didn't sleep well, and felt a little headache. This headache cannot be cured by taking medicine, but it is a lack of sleep. If you want to not hurt, you can only sleep well!
He called two little girls to serve him to wash and change his clothes. Wang Ping'an drank some porridge, had breakfast, and then came out of the backyard.
When he arrived at the front yard, he couldn't help but sigh. Before he could settle the matter, something happened again. The scholar who had typhoid fever last night was still lying on the incense table, but Tang Xuanzang came, standing next to the incense table, stroking the scholar's forehead with his hands, and didn't know what he was doing. Anyway, he moved the four masters together and burst into tears, thanking him repeatedly.
If it were normal, Wang Ping'an turned around and left, leaving the Inspiration Temple through the back door. He was really not in the mood to meet Tang Xuanzang, afraid of his allusions, but today he couldn't do it. He had to go and see if the scholar was cured and whether he needed to take medicine.
He came in through the back door, and others didn't notice him. Standing at the corner of the hall, he squeezed out a smile, walked over, and said, "Senior Brother, you've fallen off early today!"
Tang Xuanzang was talking to Sun Tu, and he said, "The reason why your illness can be cured is because you lie on this incense table. This incense table was established before the Buddha statue. Over time, it has a spiritual nature and has become a Buddhist treasure that saves all living beings. If you lie on it with a sick body, it will..."
Hearing Wang Ping'an's words, he turned his head and said, "Junior brother, you are awake too. Last night, I heard the noise outside. I wanted to get up to check, but I also thought that in the Inspiration Temple, there is a Buddha Baoyou in everything. It would be better if I don't see it, so I didn't get up. I came to the front to see this morning and saw that the donor Sun's illness was cured. The Buddha appeared and protected the world from suffering from illness. This is a clear proof of my Buddha's compassion!"
Wang Ping'an nodded and kept nodding. Anyway, the best way to solve the problem is to do nothing, be quiet and useless. Anyway, there will always be things that others will do. If you do well, it will be safe for Gods and Buddhas. If you do not do well, it will be a serious sin. Gods and Buddhas will not be safe for you. They will be quick and easy. Let's go to the next life!
He didn't dare to say that feudal superstition was wrong in front of Tang Xuanzang, and it would have to cause a big debate. If Tang Xuanzang didn't kneel down and beg for mercy, he wouldn't stop talking. Maybe he would even beg him and give him a few blows with the wooden hammer that knocked on the wooden fish... Why bother with the New Year!
Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "Yes, that's true." He stepped forward to check Sun Tu, checked Sun Tu, and then said, "It's almost done. But be careful, the disease comes like a mountain, the disease goes like a thread, and it takes a good harvest to be raised. You go back to the inn, don't stay here, his body can't stand it. Also, it's best to separate the room with his wife for a while."
Of course, the Sun Family and his wife agreed. Although fame and fortune are important, the health of their relatives is even more important. They all understand this principle.
The scholar named Li Si was standing next to him, holding a chamber pot in his hand. He said, "Mr. Wang, student Li Si took care of Brother Sun Nian as you told me, and his illness was cured."
Wang Ping'an glanced at him and felt that he could not be used in vain. He smiled and said, "Let's do this, go wash your hands, go out with me, and be a follower for the time being?"
