karma nunnery

Shi Niang has a sign to enter the palace at any time, but she has never used it.Early in the morning, she was handed a sign to enter the palace, and she only came in after getting permission.And her greatest privilege is that she can sit directly at the gate of the empress dowager without getting out of the car.

"Why do you think about going to the palace to see grandma?" The old lady was so happy that she couldn't control her granddaughter because her daughter was outside the city. Come on. Don't let your mother control you."

"That's right, don't tell my mother!" She hurriedly said to Eunuch Sun next to her.

"Don't worry, don't worry." Eunuch Sun laughed all of a sudden.

"But something is wrong?" The old lady pulled her, waved her hand, and drove everyone out except Grandpa Sun, "I heard that the little goblin in Fenglai Pavilion is acting like a demon again, but I want grandma to help you..."

"That's really not a problem. Don't worry, don't worry, I really don't take it to heart. I have something to do. I asked my grandmother and Eunuch Sun, um, um, do you know the old lady in the former Yuanninghou Mansion?"

"Mr. Li?" The old lady asked after thinking about it.

"Yes, the cousin of the former Empress Dowager Li, that's not right, what generation is this?" She was taken aback for a moment, she had to call Concubine Li the Great-grandfather Dowager.Mrs. Li, according to the seniority of the Zhang family, Mrs. Li, is considered to be a grandmother.Is this cousin married for two generations?

"Marrying the royal family doesn't care about your seniority." The old queen shook her head, thinking, "Concubine Li is a very smart person, and she was a very... decent person in your great-grandfather's palace. A year before your great-grandfather passed away, she On the grounds that she was suffering from a serious illness, she invited herself to the Karma Nunnery. Now that I think about it, she was able to calmly go.”

"The princess wants to ask Mrs. Li?" Eunuch Sun asked in a low voice after seeing that Shi Niang was listening carefully.

"Yes, the old lady is dying. She has been wondering why she was sent to the Karma Nunnery by her husband. Jun Ma and I wanted to ask, if the old lady's crimes are okay, can she go home and let her grandson Take care of me, I have been imprisoned for 30 years, and I have paid for my crimes, right?" She looked at the old lady hesitantly, and said in a low voice.

"Alive." The old lady was startled, looking a little surprised.

"It's almost over." Shi Niang said hurriedly.

"Bao'er, you have to know that a disaster can only live for a thousand years. You, you were taught badly by your women, thinking that you were raised there, and those around you are all good people? People treat you well because you are good." , you think that if you are kind to you, you are a good person..." The old lady began the rhetoric that has not changed for thousands of years.

Anyway, Shi Niang was talked about by the old lady since she was a child, anyway, she didn't listen to it seriously since she was a child, because it was similar to what her mother said, and she had a persecution paranoia that the whole world wanted to harm my baby.She was used to it, and never stopped it, but she never listened to it. However, today, she heard something interesting.

"You really are, Mrs. Li has been in the nunnery for 30 years, how old is the princess." Eunuch Sun smiled and went to get tea for Shi Niang, and then went to get the milk snacks that Shi Niang liked.

"So, Mrs. Li is a bad person?" With an excited face, she quickly told me the meaning of gossip while holding a snack.

"Bad people are just children's thoughts." The old lady fed her a piece of snack, and lightly reprimanded her, thinking, "Those people are all human beings, they are playing tricks on you!"

"Grandmother!" Shi Niang ate the snack with difficulty, shaking the old lady's hand, hurry up and say it.

"That's right, let me tell you, your mother is as stupid as a pig. It's useless to teach you anything. You can listen to someone like Mrs. Li." The old lady nodded, gave her a sip of tea, and thought about it. "The Li family had a very high family back then, and Concubine Li entered the palace as a concubine at the beginning; Mrs. Li was actually the elder sister, she was the daughter of the main branch, and she was married to the Marquis of Yuanning for her military merits. Improper, wrong household, if it wasn't for Yuan Ning Hou's indelible achievements at that time, how could the Li family give up the main branch's daughter. However, the soldiers of Yuan Ning Hou have a good temperament, so they can live a good life. However, People, don’t think too highly of yourself. You have to learn this too. It’s true that you have a high status, but your grandmother and your mother will always go before you, and the only one who can accompany you until you grow old is your husband. Don't keep bullying uncle!"

Shi Niang couldn't help hugging her old grandmother. Only now can she see how much the old lady loves her.

The old lady sighed lightly, and gently touched her small face, "Mrs. Li had three sons and one daughter at that time, and no one in Beijing would say she was blessed. For more than ten years, Yuanning's mansion really said the same thing. At that time, everyone, talking about the Marquis of Yuanning, could only think of the long-sleeved and skillful Mrs. Li. In addition, Concubine Li is quite favored in the palace, so she is naturally proud."

"Is the turning point in Concubine Li's invitation to leave the palace?" Shi Niang looked at the old lady.

"Basically, Concubine Li has nothing to do, not even a princess. She lived a quiet life, and she invited herself to go to the Karma Nunnery to practice. Emperor Cheng felt sorry for her. She really gave a large reward and a title. It can be said that she retired completely. Yes. But for her natal family, it is not. There are people in the palace, and no one can be the same. The Li family was originally a family that rose through marriage. Concubine Li, this is a blow to the Li family? Who was there at that time? I could have imagined that the first emperor would pass away in just one year."

"So Marquis Yuanning really took a concubine that year?" Shi Niang sighed softly, and now she didn't know what to say.

"That year, the Marquis of Yuanning rescued a little widow who was in her 20s, and she was in her [-]s, and she was not so beautiful. The Marquis of Yuanning brought the widow back to the mansion. The concubine entered the door; later, she had another child, and Mrs. Li was disgraced for a while. Later, when she heard that the widow had a miscarriage, Marquis Yuanning was furious, and sent Mrs. Li to the Yuan Temple. After a month, The widow also died, and Marquis Yuanning was seriously ill."

"Grandmother, um, can I say that Mrs. Li is right?" Shi Niang hurriedly pulled the old lady who was eloquent. Now she has an illusion that her own three views are wrong, or is the old lady's three views wrong?
"Did I say she was wrong?" The old lady rolled her eyes at her, "I mean she is stupid, but she is really not a good person. Do you think Marquis Yuanning is a good person? No. More than ten years, what a bad thing No, but because the Li family is powerful, Mrs. Li cares about face, so many things are not exposed. Waiting for Concubine Li to hide, the Li family collapsed, and then all came out. Mrs. Li did not have one or two lives in her hands in those years. If Concubine Li hadn't personally brought her into the nunnery, do you think she would still be alive? A violent person like your emperor would look disgusted when he talked about Li. reused."

"Then what great contribution did the Marquis of Yuanning make, that my uncle even confiscated his family's title for his son's rebellion?" Shi Niang looked at the old lady.
