Adore Trick of Beauty

After the Double Ninth Festival, Linglong's injury was discussed a lot by the people in the palace. Some said that the emperor hugged the girl Linglong, while others said that His Highness Prince Rui saved her. The rumors were endless and increasingly outrageous. When the news reached Xiao Fengming's ears, Xiao Fengming issued an edict to reprimand him, and then he calmed down a little.

Nie Wushuang went to visit Linglong. Her injuries were getting better day by day, and she gradually returned to her usual liveliness and delicacy. She still looked like a lady who knew no worries, but if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see the alertness and vigilance in her eyes. Sadly.

Linglong looked at the supplements on the table with gratitude on her face: "Linglong, thank you, Queen!"

Nie Wushuang looked at her restored complexion and smiled slightly: "Thank you for nothing. Anyway, you are quite smart and finally learned to choose a way out for yourself."

Linglong looked at her hesitantly: "But now the rumors are so fierce, alas... Linglong doesn't know what to do after leaving the palace."

Nie Wushuang looked calm: "What else can I do? What others say is their business, and you can do whatever you want."

Linglong looked at her beautiful but peaceful face and couldn't help blurting out: "Is this what your empress does?"

Nie Wushuang turned around, stroked her hand with a slightly cold hand, and smiled slightly: "Yes, otherwise, how could I have survived until now."

Linglong was startled, looking at her smiling face, she couldn't help but stay there for a long time...

…

Concubine Jingui was banned from the palace after being scolded by the emperor. Concubine Jing was also banned from the palace. Now, except for Nie Wushuang, Xiao Fengming had no one in front of her who could compete with her for favor. There were no important concubines in the palace, so it was a scene of only a few people. So some courtiers proposed to the emperor in the morning meeting that the harem should be expanded so that the emperor's heirs would not be thin.

As soon as this suggestion was made, Xiao Fengming sternly refuted it. Someone else wanted to send a young lady of the family's age to the palace and presented them with pictures of beauties, but Xiao Fengming also refused to take a look. So the rumors changed direction again, attacking Nie Wushuang for being jealous, dominating the harem, not allowing the emperor to recruit new people, etc... Feng...

Rumors are coming thick and fast, making people confused. Nie Wushuang frowned deeply in Chenghua Palace and thought to himself. These rumors are clearly fueled by someone with ulterior motives, but who is this? Who wants to embarrass her like this? Deshun went to investigate, but after several days of investigation he still had no clue.

On this day, when Deshun returned, he shook his head and said in shame, "I can't find you. I really have failed my mother's trust."

Seeing his depressed look, Nie Wushuang comforted him: "It doesn't matter, it's never so easy to grasp the source of this kind of thing, just pay more attention."

After she finished speaking, she asked in a low voice: "So what happened to the thing I asked you to do before?"

Deshun looked around and whispered: "The slaves have been deployed. Don't worry, the empress. It just makes her feel uncomfortable and will not harm her life. In short, she will not be allowed to leave Xinyi Palace easily."

Nie Wushuang was relieved and was about to speak again when he suddenly saw a figure coming from the curtain outside. She signaled to be silent. Deshun quietly stepped forward and lifted the door suddenly. The person standing outside was Yang Zhi.

"It turns out to be Eunuch Yang!" Deshun asked with a smile: "Why does Eunuch Yang come to see the Queen?"

Yang Zhi looked calm as he stepped forward and said, "I have something to ask you to see the Queen."

Nie Wushuang held up his temples, waved Deshun away, and said calmly: "Say, what do you want?"

Nowadays, Yang Zhi does not often wait in front of her. I wonder if it is because of the influence of the people in the palace. His face is slightly haggard. Nie Wushuang thinks of the master and servant talking about everything before, and he just sighs in his heart.

Yang Zhi bowed down and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Your Highness wants to see your Majesty."

Nie Wushuang was slightly startled and asked, "What is it?"

Yang Zhi was about to say something but stopped, and just said: "I'll find out when you go."

Nie Wushuang wanted to ask again, but seeing Yang Zhi's expression, she definitely didn't want to talk anymore, so she sighed: "In that case, I can just go."

Yang Zhi saw that her brows were furrowed and there was a hint of worry on her face, and he couldn't help but said: "Queen, there is no need to worry, this rumor is not a bad thing."

"Oh?" Nie Wushuang raised his eyebrows slightly: "How do you say this?"

"From the rumors, we can see that the queen's potential enemies are still determined to give up. By following the clues, we can find out where the enemies are. Moreover, the Holy Lord is not a wise man who easily believes in rumors. The more ferocious the rumors, the deeper the Holy King's pity for the Queen. So the Queen is actually Don't worry too much." Yang Zhi said calmly.

When Nie Wushuang heard what he said, a smile appeared on her face, as if she were blooming at the beginning of the new year, and her bright face became brighter and brighter: "Eunuch Yang really knows how to speak."

Seeing her show off her beauty, Yang Zhi couldn't help but smile and said, "Your Majesty has great wisdom and will not be defeated easily."

Nie Wushuang fiddled with the dark green jade bracelet on her bright wrist, raised her bright eyes and said calmly: "But Eunuch Yang needs to know who is my only enemy in this harem now."

Yang Zhi looked at her sharp eyes and couldn't help but lowered his head: "Empress..."

Nie Wushuang didn't want to embarrass him, and sighed: "That's all, Jingui Concubine is still useful. I know this, but Eunuch Yang should also understand her ambition. Don't make wedding clothes for her."

Yang Zhi looked at Nie Wushuang sitting on the seat with complicated eyes, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Hasn't the Queen thought about the future?"

future? ! Nie Wushuang was shocked and raised his head suddenly, in the future? What kind of future? !

Her hands in the long sleeves suddenly tightened the handkerchief. After a long time, she asked: "What does Eunuch Yang want to say?"

Yang Zhi looked at her, with pity gradually showing in his eyes: "Although my concubine Jin is ambitious,

Big, but she is no longer favored, and what she wants is naturally the future glory and wealth. The empress is now so favored that the Holy Emperor built a phoenix-drawing platform for her to be crowned the Sixth Palace. But has the empress ever thought about her future? "

Nie Wushuang's lips gradually turned pale. In the future... it wasn't that she hadn't thought about the future, it was just that her future had no way out and was impossible to think about. Now she is like an animal trapped in a maze, unable to find a way out. She can only follow her own instincts and fight through obstacles in an attempt to find another world.

"The future will be about revenge... What does Eunuch Yang want to say?" Nie Wushuang lowered his eyes and said slowly.

Yang Zhi's eyes were full of disapproval: "Your Majesty has never made a decision in her heart. Even this servant can see this clearly. Do you think you can hide it from His Highness? Your Highness just can't bear to point it out."

Nie Wushuang's heart tightened and she looked at Yang Zhi with her beautiful eyes.

"In the future, the empress must choose one between the emperor and His Highness Prince Rui. This is the future of the empress." Yang Zhi bowed and finished, turned around and slowly retreated.

Nie Wushuang sat witheredly in the hall, unable to regain consciousness for a long time. The skylight outside the window passes through the window lattice and leaves mottled shadows on the golden water bricks. A copper leak is ticking outside the hall, and fine dust floats in the air, as graceful as an elf.

She sat for a long time, Yang Zhi's voice still echoing in her mind.

"The Queen has never made up her mind..."

"In the future, the empress must choose one between the emperor and His Highness Prince Rui. This is the future of the empress..."

Her eyes gradually became empty. The gorgeous and luxurious Chenghua Palace, the phoenix clothes on her body, and the phoenix crown on her head... all of this was just a gorgeous dream. When I wake up from the dream, everything will be brought back to its original state...

A tear rolled down from the corner of her eye and fell on the skirt of her clothes. She looked at herself in the bronze mirror, picked up the tea cup next to her, and smashed it hard. With a "crash", the tea cup broke into thousands of pieces, and tea overflowed. , in the messy mirror, she saw her distorted face. In her life, she had never hated herself so much as at this moment...

…

A few days later, news came from Donglin Temple that Master Qingyuan had succeeded him as the abbot of Donglin Temple. Xiao Fengming was overjoyed when he heard this, and gave him an imperial pen and calligraphy treasure. He specially named Zen Master Qingyuan as the Holy Supreme Rongzhen Zen Master, and respected Donglin Temple as a national temple. Nie Wushuang also sent congratulatory gifts, including a volume of the Diamond Sutra copied by himself, and donated ten thousand taels of fragrant oil.

A day or two later, Donglin Temple sent someone to send a return gift from Zen Master Qingyuan to the emperor and empress. What he gave to Xiao Fengming was a volume of Buddhist scriptures that he copied by himself, and what he gave to Nie Wushuang was a bracelet of Buddhist beads, each one carved from camphor wood. It was an ordinary bracelet, perhaps it had been used for chanting scriptures for a long time. , each one is black and round, which is very pleasing to see.

Nie Wushuang put it on her wrist, which was just right, not too big and not too small. She was so happy that she invited the monk who returned the gift to express her gratitude.

The monk who sent back the gift said: "The abbot said that this bracelet has been with him for many years in Qing Dynasty. As a man outside the country, he has no wealth, so he uses this Buddhist beads tainted with the spirit of Buddhism to bless the queen and his wife with good luck."

Nie Wushuang couldn't help but be moved after hearing this, and after a while he said: "This master helped me bring a message to the abbot Zen Master, saying that I like it very much, and I hope that one day I can discuss Buddhist rituals with the abbot Zen Master again."

The monk bowed his head and said yes, then quietly retreated.

Nie Wushuang looked at the Buddhist beads in her hand and felt sad. She was probably carrying karma that could not be eliminated no matter how many Buddhist scriptures she recited or how many Buddhist beads she carried.
