Chapter 357 Murong Xu’s private meeting with a woman
The Queen Mother deeply agreed, "This is the best! The royal family has few heirs, and the only healthy grandsons are the second, third, and fifth. The eldest died young, the fourth is weak, and the sixth is sick. These grandsons are only the eldest, second, and fifth. The concubine is also a concubine, but her children are withering away, and the fourth and sixth children have not yet been able to marry a wife
The host will have to do the math for them later and choose a good girl with the right horoscope. ”
The queen then frowned worriedly, "Mother, those powerful people are also worried about the health problems of the fourth and sixth sons. They are worried that the girl will not have a good life when she marries the royal family, and the emperor looks down on other young officials from low-ranking families.
Fortunately, the emperor relented this time. As long as the host combines the eight characters well, it will definitely work! ”
"That's right."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became more and more excited as they talked.
Arrive at the Buddhist temple.
The mountain gate is wide open.
The officers and soldiers opened the way, and the pilgrims who came to offer incense were blocked on both sides. Except for the pilgrims who had stayed overnight before returning to the temple, everyone else in the temple was temporarily invited out.
The Queen Mother and the Empress burned incense in front of the Buddha and chanted sutras devoutly.
Murong Xu took the opportunity to sneak out.
When the third and fifth elders saw it, they followed secretly.
While walking, I found that Murong Xu had gone to the female guest's yard in the backyard of the Buddhist temple.
Everyone's eyes widened.
"Is the second brother crazy? He broke into the female guest's yard privately!"
"Is it possible that you are here for a private meeting?"
"Don't talk nonsense! If the queen mother and the imperial grandmother know about it, the second child's legs will be broken!"
The two looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths quirked up.
Here Murong Xu was stopped by two monks. He frowned in displeasure and was about to get angry when a female voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Is it the second prince?" Cen Mingxue asked uncertainly. When Murong Xu turned around with a trembling expression, she quickly knelt down and said, "Little girl Cen Mingxue pays homage to the second prince!"
"Get up!" Murong Xu always had a good attitude towards women.
Cen Mingxue stood up shyly, asked Nini, "Is the second prince here looking for someone?"
Murong Xu was worried about how to get in. When he heard this, he smiled and said: "Miss Cen, can you please come in and sit down?"
"What's so difficult about this!" Cen Mingxue just felt like a pie from the sky was falling on her head. She was so happy that she led Murong Xu in directly, regardless of the little novice's dissuasion.
Murong Xuzhen followed Cen Mingxue to her wing.
As soon as the two sat down and before they could say a few words, the Queen Mother and her entourage arrived.
The door was kicked open, and the Queen Mother and Queen looked at Murong Xu with angry faces.
"Second brother! Are you crazy? Today is an important day for the Queen Mother to worship Buddha, and you actually have a private meeting with a woman in a Buddhist temple. You are really angry with me!" The queen shook her head in disappointment.
The Queen Mother coldly ordered: "Leave them to the Ai family for proper interrogation!"
Murong Xu reacted and his expression changed drastically, "Grandmother, Empress, this is not the case. Please listen to my explanation. Miss Cen and I are innocent. We just happened to meet each other in the wrong place. Miss Cen invited me to have a cup of tea." That’s really it!”
"Second brother! Where can I not drink tea? This is a Buddhist temple. We should avoid suspicion. Even if we meet you, we should avoid it instead of following such an unruly woman to rest in the female guests' courtyard. You really disappoint me!"< br>
The Queen sighed and looked at the Queen Mother, "Mother, leave the matters here to your son, who will punish him well and give an explanation to the Buddhist temple." "I don't know what to say!" The Queen Mother walked away in anger.
Murong Xu collapsed on the ground, it's over! The Queen Mother was angry. He would definitely have no good fruits to eat after returning to the palace!
Now he has no time to think about Shen Tian.
The Queen Mother and her entourage left just as quickly as they came.
When the yard became quiet, the door of a back room secretly opened.
Shen Tian and Huang Xinghua walked out calmly and greeted the little novice monk who was guarding outside the yard, "Little master, what happened just now? We heard some strange noises in the house, let's come out and take a look."
The young novice did not dare to tell others about the royal affairs, so he only said: "Amitabha, today is the Laba Festival. Many distinguished guests have come to the temple, and the Queen Mother is also giving porridge and charity. The two female donors can go to the main hall to worship the Buddha and eat vegetarian meals. ”
"The chef didn't prepare vegetarian meals alone today?" Huang Xinghua was a little surprised. In the past few days, they had been eating vegetarian meals sent by the chef.
The little novice shook his head.
Shen Tian thanked the little novice monk and led Huang Xinghua to the front yard.
On the way, she whispered: "Mom, ask the young monk about this kind of thing. The young monk doesn't dare to talk nonsense. The best way is to go to the front yard and be next to the ladies. Maybe you can get some clues. Let's see what happens. Then decide whether to leave.”
If they weren't afraid of offending the powerful and causing trouble to Liu Laosan, their family would have run away long ago.
Huang Xinghua knew that her daughter had ideas, so she naturally listened to her in everything.
The two of them came to the front yard to meet Shen Dagou. Shen Dagou couldn't wait to tell them the news he had learned without them asking.
"It's the second prince. I heard that the second prince had a private meeting with Miss Cen in the Female Guest House, and was caught by the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother. The royal scandal made the Queen Mother furious, and she didn't even bother to worship the Buddha."
A glint flashed in Shen Tian's eyes, "Which Miss Cen?"
Shen Dagou thought about it carefully, "It seems to be called Cen Xuxue."
"Cen Mingxue, Chen Mingzhu's cousin."
"Yes, yes! That's the name!" Shen Dagou's voice was a little loud because of his excitement. Seeing the pilgrims looking at him, he quickly covered his mouth.
Shen Tian slowly lowered her eyes and hid the mockery on her lips. In her previous life, she was accused of marrying Murong Xu. After three years of childlessness, Murong Xu suddenly accepted Cen Mingxue.
The Cen family was just an inconspicuous official family in the imperial capital. She didn't even take Cen Mingxue seriously, but this woman gave birth to three sons in a row after entering the palace. Although the first two were not raised, she If you can't stand it, you will be blessed with many children, and you will be able to have children.
For the royal family with withered heirs, it was a symbol of blessing. After Murong Xu ascended the throne, he named Cen Mingxue a noble concubine. She died miserably, but Cen Mingxue was rich and glorious.
I never expected that the two of them would be connected in this way in this life.
The royal family values face the most. If Cen Mingxue did such an outrageous thing when the Queen Mother was doing charity, even if she really gave birth to three sons in the future, she would not be able to have the same glory as in her previous life.
Thinking of this, Shen Tian was in a good mood.
He turned around and smiled sweetly at Huang Xinghua and Shen Dagou, "Mom, brother, it seems that I am safe now. Let's pack up and go back tomorrow."
"Okay, okay!" Huang Xinghua was overjoyed. As soon as she turned around, she was hit and she screamed in pain, "Oh! Why don't you look at the road while walking!"
"I'm sorry, aunt, are you okay!"
Huang Xinghua followed the sound and saw a handsome young man in front of her looking at him with concern. He was gorgeously dressed and spiritually noble. Her eyes moved from top to bottom and fell on the crutches that the young man was holding. Her eyes looked a little pityful. .
"It's okay, it's okay." She quickly stood up holding Shen Dagou and Shen Tian's hands.
I was originally angry, but considering the boy's handsomeness, I can forgive him.
