A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 1051 A daughter of the Wu family has grown up

Lizheng Hall.

Empress Changsun was drowsy on the hospital bed. Now she spent most of the day sleeping, and her condition was already very bad.

Wu Yingluo took her younger sister Wu Liu and said to Princess Jinyang, "We hold a Yansheng Jiao to pray for the Queen's blessing."

Several people just wanted to do something for the queen, hoping that she would get better soon.

"I will teach you to recite Taishang Xuanling Beidou's True Sutra of Prolonging Life and Prolonging Life, and hold a ritual ceremony for the Queen to prolong life."

Princess Jinyang has a pale face. Like Wu Liuer, she is only a little over three years old. She is the favorite daughter of the emperor and empress. Although she is young, she can already write beautiful Feibai calligraphy.
Her aunts, sisters and other princesses had false titles when they were not married, and only received real titles when they got married. Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang now received real titles when she was young. This princess who is extremely loved by her parents and even favored by her parents, Smart and agile, but frail and sickly since childhood.

These days, she insists on staying with her mother, and her body is already struggling.

Wu Yingluo took Wu Liu, and Princess Jinyang took her younger sister Princess Hengshan, who was just over one year old. The four little people came to the side hall to chant sutras, pray for the queen, and perform a longevity ceremony for the queen.

"I, Aye, taught me the Beidou Sutra. Aye said that the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper are the cardinals of creation and the masters of humans and gods. They have the power to bring life back to life and inject death, and to eliminate disasters. All the five bodies of a mortal's life belong to the natal star. Palm, as long as we purify our bodies and minds, burn incense, chant sutras, bow to the Star Lord, and make offerings widely, we will be able to live a long and prosperous life and avoid all disasters."

Among the four girls, Yingluo is ten years old, the oldest, and the most mature and sensible.

Princess Jinyang and Wu Liu are both just over three years old, but they are also smart. Princess Hengshan, who is only over one year old, is still naive and ignorant and only knows how to follow these sisters.

Yanshengjiao is a prayer ceremony that originated in the Han Dynasty. It was first worshiped by Beidou.

The ancestors of China believed that the South Dipper governs life and the Big Dipper governs death. If you want to prolong your life, you must pray to the Big Dipper to remove your death certificate. Taoism has also been engaged in various ritual fighting activities for a long time.

Most of the various scriptures and rituals about longevity in Taoism are related to the five stars in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and are especially closely related to the Beidou.

The Taishang Xuanling Beidou Scripture of Life and Life Extension that Yingluo taught the Jinyang princesses to recite together was one of them.

If there is a disaster, it is urgent to report to Beidou, pay tribute to the true king, turn to the true scripture, and recognize the star king of your destiny, so that you can achieve peace and prosperity, and even prosperity.

Regularly reciting this sutra, doing obeisance and repenting can also protect your life.

At this time, the Emperor, the Crown Prince, the Prince of Wei, the Princess Changle and others who knew of the Queen's illness were all praying for her. There were general sacrificial ceremonies, as well as lighting ceremonies, and they even invited Taoist priests to pray and eminent monks to chant sutras.

"The heavenly spirit is honored, may you live forever.

One of the Taixuan, keeping his true form.

God of the five internal organs, everyone maintains peace..."

Wu Yingluo recited one sentence, Jinyang Princess Li Mingda and Anlu County Lord Wu Liu also recited one sentence, while Princess Hengshan could only say a few words.

Wu Yingluo looked solemn and pious,
"Zhi Xin pays homage to the Holy Mother Purple Light Heavenly Queen, Tai Chi Emperor, Arctic Purple Wei Emperor, Sheep Holding Saint, Tuo Luo Saint, Beidou No. 1 Yang Ming, Greedy Wolf Star Lord..."

Jinyang Li Zhi lost his two sisters, so he looked for them. A palace maid reported that they were in the side hall. When he came over, he saw several people chanting sutras and praying for blessings.

The nine-year-old Jin Wang Li Zhi listened to a few words and stood at the door. He didn't make any noise and stood there quietly.

"What are you doing, Ninth Brother, standing here?"

A fat figure appeared, it was King Li Tai of Wei. He also came out to take a breath. His mother was seriously ill, and Li Tai felt very depressed and uncomfortable. When he thought of his mother leaving, he would lose someone to rely on.

In the next few years, he should go to Ryukyu Island to join the feudal clan.
He really didn't want to go to that island in the East China Sea. He felt that his life shouldn't be like that. What was the difference between that and exile.

Even though he has gone through great changes in the past few years, he has become calmer, and even that thought has been suppressed deep in his heart, but he still thinks about it occasionally,
Li Zhi asked him to be silent.

"Fourth brother, Wu Yingluo took Jinyang and the others to recite the Beidou Sutra to pray for their mother in the side hall."

Li Tai and Li Zhi have a good relationship. Li Zhi is a polite child and is very respectful to his eldest brother and fourth brother. Li Tai is also very good to this brother who will not endanger him. Brothers and friends are respectful. .

Li Tai approached the door and stood at the door of the temple, looking in.

Seeing Wu Yingluo reciting sutras solemnly and devoutly, her sister Xiaosizi also looked serious, and even the youngest sister was chanting along with her.

Li Tai looked at Wu Yingluo. Although Wu Sikong's eldest daughter was a concubine, she was really good. People around her mother praised her for her appearance and talents. It was a pity that she had been promised to the tenth son Li Shen so early.

He stood there looking at this girl, and he became distracted.

Jin Wang Li Zhi also noticed the change in his fourth brother's eyes, and followed his gaze to see Wu Yingluo, who was his future tenth sister-in-law, Princess Ji.

Li Zhi was only nine years old, one year younger than Wu Yingluo, but he already understood many things. He felt that something was wrong with his fourth brother's eyes.

He also felt that the future sister-in-law was very beautiful, especially with a very special temperament.

But the fourth brother had already married the Yan family, and even took in many concubines and had several children.

"Brother."

Li Tai was stabbed in the waist by Li Zhi, and his thoughts came back. He turned around and saw the eyes of his ninth brother, and suddenly realized that he had been rude just now.

He smiled and said, "I just got distracted by my thoughts. What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Li Zhi replied.

There was a sound of footsteps.

But it was Prince Liangdi Wu who came.

"I have met His Highness the King of Wei, and I have met His Highness the King Jin." When Li Tai saw Wu Erniang, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The women of the Wu family are really more outstanding than the other. Just now, he saw that his sister-in-law Wu Yingluo in the palace has outstanding temperament. Now she will see her again. Come get a sister-in-law.

Although Wu Erniang was only the crown prince's concubine, her status in the East Palace was not low, and she was also highly valued by her father, the emperor, and the empress. Wu Erniang married into the East Palace early, but her mother always took her to the Lizheng Palace.

When Li Tai looked at Wu Yingluo just now, he was actually thinking about something. He, the prince, and Wu Wang Li Ke all worshiped Wu Huaiyu at the beginning and were all students of Wu Huaiyu. But just because Cheng Qian was the prince, he would be able to get Wu Huaiyu. full help.

It would have been great if Wu Huaiyu had only accepted him as his student and fully supported him.

Maybe he could still marry Wu Erniang and marry his niece Wu Yingluo. Then he might have seized the chance a few years ago and entered the East Palace.

Li Tai never felt that he was worse than Cheng Qian.

But just because Cheng Qian was the legitimate eldest son and he was the legitimate son, Gao Zu arranged for him to be adopted as his uncle, King Wei, as his son. Just because he was the legitimate son, even if his father succeeded in seizing the throne and allowed him to return to the clan, he would not Still, the title can only be changed from King of Wei to King of Wei, not Crown Prince.

Even their biological uncle Changsun Wuji and uncle Gao Shilian only have Prince Chengqian in their eyes.

I have many thoughts.

Li Tai looked at Wu who was saluting him, his eyes bright and bold.

If Wu Huaiyu and Changsun Wuji could support him, would he still need to leave Chang'an and go to Liuqiu Island, almost in exile?

If he can get their support, he can also get the support of several powerful forces behind them such as Gao Shilian, Ma Zhou, and Xu Jingzong.

Will that position still be out of reach?

Wu Erniang felt the bold and rude look from King Wei and lowered her head. There was no change in expression on her face, but she felt a little disdainful in her heart.

Everyone said that King Wei was virtuous, but Wu Erniang felt that Li Tai had a false reputation. She hated Li Tai's gaze, which was greedy but disgusting. She also hated his fat appearance. A dignified and virtuous king? If you can't exercise properly, you will eat like a fat pig.

He obviously had a chance before, but he didn't take advantage of it at all.

Although in Wu Erniang's view, the chance that he once had was not a real opportunity, just an illusion, he still wasn't sure at all, and it was even less possible now.

In the palace, Wu Yingluo took Princess Jinyang and the others to finish reciting the Beidou Sutra.
Only then did he realize that the king of Wei, the king of Jin, and his aunt Wu Liangdi were all here.

night.

After Wu Erniang washed up, she came specifically to sleep with Yingluo.

"Ryuu-niang is asleep?"

"Well, everyone snored." Yingluo said.

Wu Mei looked at her little niece and felt that she was heartless, but she was born with a good life. She was reincarnated as the legitimate daughter of Wu Sikong. She was granted the title of county head at the age of three and was granted a fiefdom of 300 households.

The aunt and nephew turned out the lights,

Lying on the couch, the quilt is very warm.

They whispered quietly.

Although Wu Mei married into the East Palace early, she has always been with the queen and has not yet consummated her marriage with the prince, so she is still in perfect condition.

However, after entering the palace, the whole person still changed a lot, especially after the death of his father.

Not only have I grown older, but I have also become more knowledgeable and my thoughts have also changed.

"The way King Wei looked at you today was very wrong. You have to be careful about him in the future." Wu Mei whispered to her niece. Yingluo lowered her voice and said, "I think the way he looked at my aunt was very rude."

"Well, this is not a good person." Wu Mei sighed.

"When will aunt return to the East Palace?" Yingluo asked.

Wu Mei actually wanted to return to the East Palace. She wanted to consummate the marriage with the prince as soon as possible, so that she could live in name and reality. Although she had been following the queen after entering the palace, she also saw a lot of the situation in the palace.

The harem is so big, there are so many concubines, but there is only one emperor. The overt and secret fighting here is much more powerful than in ordinary wealthy mansions.

If you want to stand firm, it is best to have children, especially sons. It is best to have more.

The Han family in the East Palace was the daughter of her cousin, the stepdaughter of Prime Minister Ma Zhou, and the niece of Wu Sikong, but these were not as good as the fact that Han gave birth to the eldest son of the prince. He was the eldest son of the concubine of the East Palace and the eldest grandson of the emperor. She was also promoted all the way to Prince Liangyuan, second only to her.

But her status in the East Palace is much better than hers.

She wanted to return to the East Palace right away, but now the queen was seriously ill and she couldn't leave. If the Queen really can't survive this time, then even if she returns to the East Palace in a few days, she will still have to keep her filial piety for the Queen.

It is estimated that having a child with the prince will not be possible in the past two to three years.

Thinking of this, Wu Mei felt melancholy in her heart. The queen was now seriously ill. It was inappropriate for her to think about this at this time, but she couldn't help but feel a strong sense of crisis.

As for the rude look from the fat King of Wei Li Tai today, Wu Mei only had disdain. He was about to become a vassal, and he was far inferior to the nine-year-old King of Jin Li Zhi. Wu Mei had been by the Queen's side for the past two years, and she was very familiar with the Ninth Prince, who was her direct descendant.

She even grew up watching Prince Jin.

"Tomorrow I will recite the Beidou Sutra for the Queen and perform the Yansheng Jiao with you." Wu Mei said, "Go to bed early."

She tucked Wu Liuer's quilt back into her bed, who was sleeping early. It was better for her. A three-year-old child, innocent and carefree, could still sleep soundly even in the palace.
