In the end, Zhu Yijun still brought Wang Rong and the copied scripture back. He had offered it up in front of the Buddha, but he didn't say that he would definitely offer it up in the Qin'an Hall. Zhu Yijun sat cross-legged on the brick bed to admire it for a while before taking out two volumes. "Take these to the Tzu Ning Palace and the Shoukang Palace respectively.
The young eunuch brought the plate up and down, and Zhu Yijun looked at the person beside him and said, "Speak. Which one of you went to the Chuxiu Palace to gossip? "
Feng Shang's heart jumped, at this time, he would definitely not go up and talk. Zhang Cheng calmly lowered his hands. His Majesty already knew that these words were definitely not coming from his mouth.
"They're all mute?" Zhu Yijun asked, "Has anyone replied to my question yet?"
"Putong!" Feng Shang's forehead dripped with sweat, he knew that he couldn't avoid this. He kowtowed and admitted his wrongs, "It's this servant's fault, this servant sent Zhuo Zi to Chuxiu Palace to find Palace Manager's aunt yesterday to ask her about some matters, but this servant really doesn't know what Zhuo Zi said inside the Chuxiu Palace."
Zhuo Zi was kneeling only three steps behind him, her body trembling like a sieve but unable to open her mouth to refute him. Zhu Yijun didn't even raise his head. Little Zhuo Zi will take the twenty boards and the Qianqing Palace will be expelled from them. Feng Shang, you should also take the ten boards.
Feng Shang quickly nodded his head to show his gratitude, then retreated and left the hall to receive his punishment at the Disciplinary Hall. How could they dare to really fight? It would be fine even if they just skimmed over a few slates, but they could still take pity on Zhuo Zi. After twenty slots, it would already be more than enough to take a breather, the people doing the chores could only blink at Feng Shang to ensure that they wouldn't be able to survive the night.
Feng Shang was still able to walk after receiving ten slates, so he cupped his hands in thanks to the eunuchs present. He would treat them to wine another day. He squatted down and whispered to Zhuo Zi who had hatred in her eyes, "Don't blame me for being ruthless. Since you've been expelled from Qianqing Palace, you won't have any good days in the future. I'll gift you with a gift so that you won't have to face this kind of loss."
Blood trickled down from Zhuo Zi's mouth.
Although it was fine, Feng Shang still laid in the room for three or four days. He wanted to finish the whole show, since there was plenty of fun in the room.
"The Qianqing Palace has been delivered to me, the Empress Dowager Li accepted it and took a look." This is a handwritten scripture, where did the emperor come from? "
The man shook his head, not knowing, but the Empress Dowager Li asked again, "Where did His Majesty go today?"
"Since the start of the dynasty, I have been at the Qianqing Palace. I made a trip there in the middle of the afternoon." The man said.
Empress Dowager Li sent someone to deliver the scripture to the rear hall for worship and also sent someone to ask if there was anyone else appearing on Qin'an Hall today. The person who asked this question quickly came back, "From the past, Imperial Consort Candidate s of the Chuxiu Palace were able to move about freely in the Gonghou Garden during the day. Imperial Consort Candidate s like to go to the Qin'an Hall side hall to pay their respects to Bodhisattva and make a wish. There are also less than thirty Imperial Consort Candidate s who are going to the Qin'an Hall today. "
"Loving Bodhisattvas is a good thing. To believe in the Buddha makes one's heart calm. Since they are so sincere, each of them must write a copy of a scripture and send it up. " The Empress Dowager Li said.
Aunt told me about Empress Dowager Li's decree, and the sadness and happiness mixed within the Chuxiu Palace. Because of their birth problems, more than half of the Imperial Consort Candidate s had never held a pen or paper before entering the palace. Many concubines learn to read only after entering the palace.
Auntie said that she could draw the gourd according to the book, but when did someone draw the gourd with a brush for the first time? If it wasn't made into a ball of black ink, he could write a piece of paper with a single word.
Yang Jingru's father was an Elementary Scholar, so copying scriptures was not a problem. Seeing Cui Ruo crying, Liu Jing sat there in a daze and said to Wang Rong who was writing, "Why don't we help them copy it, it won't take too much time."
"Everyone's handwriting is different. If they are discovered, it will bring them harm instead." Wang Rong Wen said as she stopped writing and asked Liu Jing and Cui Ruo to come over. "The Chinese characters' scriptures are too hard to draw. This is a scripture of the Sanskrit. If you practice it a few more times, you should be able to draw better."
Cui Ruo took it in her hands and looked at it. It was full of twists and turns, "Sister Wang, what is this about? "Why are they curving like little tadpoles?"
"This is the Buddhist scripture from the Mantra of Sanskrit. Do you know how to recite it?" Wang Rong asked.
"At home, you can only read the Dim Meridian and the Diamond Sutra. You don't know many scriptures." Liu Jing said.
"No problem, this is very short and very simple, just wait until I teach you guys how to recite it." Wang Rong He said, "Whether you know how to write or not cannot be fake, as Sanskrit is easier to copy. If anyone asks, they will say that you guys had an idea and went to ask the Qin'an Hall Biddy to borrow."
"But, don't you know whether or not you borrow it from Qin'an Hall with just a single question?" Cui Ruo said.
"Are you stupid? Can't the two of us copy the scripture on this Chuxiu Palace?" Liu Jing glared at her, "I'll go and tell Yuanyuan now." Yuanyuan'er lived in the East Branch Hall, she was from the same village.
"Thank goodness I have a big sister. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do this time." Cui Ruoxi clasped her hands together and said. Wang Rong smiled as she took out the handkerchief and casually said, "I wonder how the empress dowager suddenly remembered to have us copy the scriptures?"
Xi Tao took the handkerchief and nodded her head, she knew that she would ask around.
It was also the time to eat and drink around the Western Palace Begonia after their meal. Wang Rong and her insistence on touching the flower bud every day, had grown a lot more energetic than the other flower bones. Xi Tao also agreed that it was Wang Rong who was more diligent in touching the flower bone. She said that yesterday, His Majesty took a scripture from the Qin'an Hall and gave it to the two empress dowager. The empress dowager said that the Imperial Consort Candidate should follow his Majesty and be filial, and that's why this happened. " Xi Tao spoke out the information she had gathered.
"Why did Your Majesty take the scripture away from the Qin'an Hall?" Wang Rong asked while pretending to be puzzled.
"I won't be able to ask. Even the Bichini from Qin'an Hall didn't know that His Majesty came by yesterday." Xi Tao said.
Wang Rong and Changing Leaf had undoubtedly written the scripture the emperor had taken away yesterday and sent it to the empress dowager. When the empress dowager saw that it was a handwritten copy of the scripture, she naturally suspected that the emperor was secretly sharing it with someone. She was familiar with all the concubines in the palace, so she must be one of the Imperial Consort Candidate's people.
Wang Rong suddenly thought of something and asked, "Yesterday, I met a Bi Qiuni at the Qin'an Hall, he had a kind face and eyes but his age could not be discerned, and his demeanor was extraordinary. It was just that we were in a hurry yesterday and forgot to ask about his name, do you know who she is?"
"Can't tell his age?" Xi Tao asked.
"It seems like he has quite a bit of experience, but his face is smooth, so he can't be too hasty." Wang Rong He said.
"That should be Martial Aunt Jingyi." Once Xi Tao heard her description, she immediately knew which one it was, "Originally, Imperial Consort Candidate from the time of the Former Emperor, who never accepted any favors, and was content with learning the Buddha. After the death of Former Emperor, she refused to leave the palace and said that she wanted to sacrifice her life to pray for the good fortune of the Former Emperor, and decided to give it to her as a gift at the end of the Qin'an Hall."
"Mistress Jingyi is a very gentle and gentle person, the palace maid are all very willing to listen to her recite scriptures." Xi Tao said hesitantly, "But as a Imperial Consort Candidate, Martial Aunt Jing has never accepted anything. Some people avoid this, but yesterday, when Imperial Consort Candidate went to the Qin'an Hall, I met Martial Aunt Jing Yi. Last night, Martial Aunt Jing went into closed door cultivation and wanted to avoid Imperial Consort Candidate."
"How dare he say such things to the Bishops of the Bodhisattva in a quiet place. This kind of brain doesn't seem to have anything to do with you anymore. Wang Yunhe said, "Yesterday, not only did I see Mrs. Jingyi, but I also spoke to her. Not only did I see her yesterday, I will also meet her in the future. "Let's see if it will affect me."
"It's good for a lady to be on good terms with Grand Preceptor Yi." Xi Tao said, "The ointment and cosmetic powder Master Jing Yi concocted is much better than those made in the palace. Otherwise, how could Master Jing Yi not have wrinkles on her? "However, she won't easily give it to others. She has to get along with them."
Wang Rong did not have much interest in cosmetic powder, so she did not believe that Master Jing Yi's closed door training was for the Imperial Consort Candidate's sake. Without this sort of magnanimity, how could she stay in the palace as a nun? Regardless of whether Grand Preceptor Jing had seen His Majesty yesterday or not, Grand Preceptor Xie still knew that she had copied the scriptures. For the entire afternoon, when she hadn't, the emperor could use his toes to think of where the scriptures came from. The most likely reason why she had gone into seclusion was that she did not want to get involved in such a thing. Furthermore, she would also release a message that would reassure her and help her hide the truth.
Then what is the probability of her using her left hand to complete the Buddhist scripture homework and then hiding it from the world? She did not want her reputation to go down the drain. After all, she was completely innocent, the Emperor had taken it away, and she had not given it to him yet. She did not want to give it to him yet.
But Wang Yunzhi quickly realized the problem. Even if she could stop using her right hand to copy the scriptures before the empress dowager passed away without exposing herself, it was unknown when the emperor would sell her out. The biggest person among them who knew was the most uncontrollable. In this sort of situation, other than exposing himself, there was no other way.
If the empress dowager asked, she would just say that they had copied the offerings from Qin'an Hall. As for why her majesty had taken them, she had no idea.
In terms of being the backbone of the rear palace, Wang Rong and the rest of their people, the front palace also had a backbone, but it wasn't Wang Zhixi. Wang Zhixi was beautiful, gentle and kind, good at buying people's hearts and many people. But that was because everyone felt that with Wang Zhixi's beauty, she would definitely be favored in the future. If they befriended Wang Zhixi, maybe they would have more chances to meet His Majesty.
The leader of the front hall was called Zhou Yuting. If one were to say that Wang Zhixi had an appearance that was full of emotions and wanted to speak, then it would be embarrassing, but Zhou Yuting was just a person with bright eyes and white teeth. She was very ambitious and smart, and she squandered her money like dirt. There were those that she found useful when they made friends in the Imperial Consort Candidate, and there were those that didn't like her. She had bought all of the eunuchs and aunts in the palace maid with money, begging for directions without a door, but the following meal was cold. The tea was cold, the water was cold. The Imperial Consort Candidate were all jades from a small family, how could they have seen such a formation? In that moment, wherever Zhou Yuting went, no one dared not retreat.
Zhou Yuting was not stupid, the Imperial Consort Candidate who joined her would usually have palace maid meticulously serving them. For hot meals, even if they went to the Qin'an Hall, they could arrange for everyone to enter the hall to pay their respects, and stay for a little longer.
She would usually use words to humiliate even when she was suppressing the Imperial Consort Candidate, so no one would be able to catch her weakness. Furthermore, in the end, there were other Imperial Consort Candidate s who took the initiative to make trouble for her in order to curry her favor.
Perhaps calling him a pillar or the overlord of the palace was more appropriate.
Wang Zhixi and Zhou Yuting could be considered to be used to each other, but they couldn't get along with each other, so they didn't interfere with each other and lived peacefully.
