Merchant's daughter is not a concubine

Chapter 323
Lan Ruoying left the palace after being slapped on the mouth.She wasn't wronged either, although Empress Dowager Jingren blamed her for stepping on Ning Qing's skirt and knocking down the Buddha statue, but she was the one who hurt Ning Qing by throwing the bead.

Song Xian saw Lan Ruoying come back with a mouthful of blood, and was stunned instantly. Hearing what Yang Meng said, he was angry and angry: "Did you show something and someone caught you?"

"If she got hold of it, she would just say that I threw the beads, and she just said that I stepped on the skirt of the little business girl. It was obvious that she didn't see anything, so she opened her eyes and told nonsense." Lan Ruoying said.

Song Xian only felt chills and anger for a while.Because if this is the case, it means that the old witch is really eccentric, no matter right or wrong, she only protects Song Zhuo.

"I can see through it now, that old witch's heart is made of stone, no matter how you cover it, it won't get hot." Lan Ruoying said bitterly. "Have you written a letter to my father?"

Song Xian's face darkened, he didn't want to write a letter to King Chen because he thought he could handle it.

"It's just a guy who is so lustful and confused." Until now, Song Xian still felt that Song Zhuo was an empty name.However, thinking of Song Zhuo's elegance and temperament, Song Xian couldn't help being secretly jealous.

Lan Ruoying was stunned for a moment: "Don't forget, we have already suffered losses twice in front of him."

The first time was the time I entered the door, and the second time was the time when the lady-in-law flushed the toilet after breakfast.

"The time he called the door was because of the love of the emperor's grandmother, so he entered the palace when he said he couldn't enter the door. The second time, he happened to have a woman who was like his wife under his command. If he was really capable, he would drag all the courtiers to him. Here? Huh! He can have today because he bears the identity of Prince Chen's son, and the love of the emperor's grandmother. He is not qualified to make this son feel threatened. "

Speaking of threats, Song Xian couldn't help but think of the man in red who drew a bow and set an arrow at him at the top of Crescent Moon in Wuyun City.

Thinking about it now, I can almost hear the terrifying murderous aura and vigor of sharp arrows flying past his body.

Song Xian couldn't help trembling, why did he think of that time?He hadn't thought about it for a long time, and he definitely didn't want to.Every time he thought of it, he felt a piercing fear.

Lan Ruoying frowned: "Anyway, let's wait for the father to come back and talk about everything."

Song Xian snorted, turned and left the room.Anyway, all the officials in Beijing have been won over by him now, so he is not in a hurry.When Song Zhuo marries a small business girl again, it will be even more difficult regardless of her reputation or interpersonal relationship.He just sat and waited for King Chen to ask for a seal.

On the first day of June, Empress Dowager Jingren went to Fahua Temple to worship Buddha in person, and all the roads out of the city were cleared by martial law.

Although Empress Dowager Jingren believed in Buddhism, she was not often able to go out of the palace to worship Buddha because of her noble status.There is a small Buddhist hall in the palace, which is very delicately decorated, and there are also nuns bought into the palace.Do your best in the palace.Considering the safety issue, there is no fixed time to leave the palace.But about once a year or two years out of the palace.

It has been three years since the last time I left the palace.

At that time Song Zhuo had an accident, Empress Dowager Jingren wanted to invite Master Yuanzhen, but the master retreated, even if the Empress Dowager came personally, he would not leave.Empress Dowager Jingren had no choice but to go back.

This time, Empress Dowager Jingren brought Ning Qing here and wanted to approve the horoscope, but she expected that she would only ask Master Yuanming, the younger brother of Master Yuanzhen, to approve it.　
The last time Cheng Yuhua and Song Zhuo were criticized was by Master Yuanming, who said that Song Zhuo and Cheng Yuhua were at odds.It was Cheng Yuhua who knelt for three days and three nights before Master Yuanzhen came out to give some pointers.

Thinking of Cheng Yuhua, Empress Dowager Jingren was furious.That bitch knew that she was restraining Zhuo'er, but she still wanted to marry, causing Zhuo'er to lose her position as the heir.

Empress Dowager Jingren wished that it would not be too much to harm Cheng Yuhua with a thousand swords.But Song Zhuo saved Cheng Yuhua's life.Besides, letting Cheng Yuhua live in a humble and lowly way seemed to be more enjoyable than killing her.

The Empress Dowager went out, and the scene was very grand. Song Zhuo was dressed in white flowers and rain brocade, with a silver crown and hair tied up. He had a stunning appearance, with a smile on his lips, and he rode a horse and walked in front of the phoenix chariot.

There were officers and soldiers on both sides of the avenue blocking it, but many people rushed forward. Apart from looking at the Queen Mother, most of them were actually looking at Song Zhuo.

After Song Zhuo returned to Beijing, he was always in the mansion and the palace. He seldom went out, and everyone couldn't see him even if they wanted to.His rumors are flying all over the sky, and everyone is curious about how Song Zhuo is doing now.

"This is Song Zhuo, the son of the former Prince Chen, who looks like a god. No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a foolish, brainless thing."

"I thought that Sui Luocheng was so confused that he would definitely miss Song Xian, the eldest son of Prince Chen's mansion, but now that I see it, it is indeed a big difference, but it is Song Xian who sent a big difference!"

"You can't judge a person by their appearance! Maybe they are good-looking, and they look like gold and jade, but they are among the rotten ones! The eldest son is the son that the king of Chen likes the most! If the son-in-law is really promising, why would the father abandon him and choose the son-in-law instead?"

"Even if you really have the ability, marrying such a wife is a lot worse than others."

"That's right, after all, he is the royal son of a descendant! It's really humiliating to marry a small merchant girl!"

Since Song Zhuo brought Ning Qing back to the capital, the entire capital, whether it was courtiers, nobles or common people, were watching.I don't know whether it was a good concubine or a noble concubine, but later Ning Qing was taken into the palace school.Song Zhuo had never disclosed any news to the outside world, so the news that Song Zhuo was going to marry Ning Qing as his wife did not go away, and everyone in the capital knew about it.

Yasukuni House——

Song Zhuo's grandfather Uncle Jing Guo was sitting silently in the study in a daze.

"Father." A handsome man in his thirties walked in.He is Cheng Xian, uncle Jing's beloved youngest son.

"What's the matter?" Yasukuni asked.

"The Empress Dowager went to Fahua Temple to worship the Buddha, and Zhuo'er went with her. According to reports from the palace, the little merchant girl also went with her." Cheng Xian said.

Uncle Jingguo frowned when he heard this, and sighed slightly: "What are they going to do? Are they really paying respects to the Buddha? No way. The Empress Dowager never concealed that she taught the little businesswoman the rules, and Zhuo'er is not young. I'm afraid I'm going to combine the horoscope."

"Father, please rest assured. Even the grandparent's family can't talk about his marriage. Not to mention now, even in the past." Cheng Xian said: "A nephew is a nephew after all, and he can't run away no matter what. Yes. There is no overnight feud between relatives, after a while, the two families will get better."

Uncle Yasukuni nodded.For a while now, he hoped that Ning Qing and Song Zhuo's horoscopes would not match, because in this way, Cheng Yuhua would not be overwhelmed by Ning Qing, and their crimes in the Jingguo House would not be so heavy.For a while, I hoped that Ning Qing and Song Zhuo's horoscope would match. Although it was a slap in the face, as long as she married Song Zhuo as his wife.After all, she was a small business girl, and she couldn't get past their house no matter what.

Since what happened three years ago, their family only retained the title of Earl of Jingguo, but no one in the family had the opportunity to become an official in the court.

He "resigned from office", and Cheng Yuzhi was also dismissed from office.The whole family is declining more and more. If they can't get up again, they might disappear completely in Shangjing in less than 30 years.

Cheng Yuhua also received the news that the Queen Mother and Song Zhuo went to Fahua Temple.

She stared blankly in the direction of Fahua Temple, weeping silently.

"I remember that six years ago, my eldest sister followed the Queen Mother to Fahua Temple in the same way. It was a sight!" Cheng Yuqin, Cheng Xian's daughter, walked in with a smile.She is now Uncle Jingguo's legitimate daughter. "Even though they said they didn't agree, they were told to go to Fengwu Mountain to change their fate, and they came back in a good way, and they walked down this street."

After being told about that glorious past, Ke Xin already burst into tears in pain.But Cheng Yuhua was still stunned and expressionless.

Cheng Yuqin looked at Cheng Yuhua's face as usual, and hated her teeth itchingly: "I said, Cheng Yuhua, are you too thick-skinned? You made such a big mistake, you should have been executed, even if you use the gold medal to avoid death If I want to return your life, I would rather lose a way to save my life in the future than marry you. Do you have any sense of shame when you are humiliated like this?"

"If it was me, I would have slammed my head against the wall and died! Don't die, start again, and live a new life of your own! If you want to marry someone, you will never marry! If you are afraid of being laughed at, marry Stay away! Although our family has been dragged down by you, it is not short of that dowry! When you go to a place where no one knows, you will always get married! You don’t want to marry! If you don’t marry, you will become a monk Go be a sister-in-law! Don’t give up! Stay at home all day long! If you don’t tell me, I know that you are still waiting for someone to marry your cousin! But people would rather marry that little business girl than you!”

"Cheng Yuhua, it's fine if you don't let us benefit, but your grandfather worked so hard to raise you, and you're just repaying him like this? Even if your eldest and second families are all gone, your bitch grandmother killed our whole family! You bastard dragged our whole family down, but grandfather just got angry with you, but did he ever abuse you? Why don’t you provide you with good clothes and food? What else do you think? You know that your existence is a sin If you die, get married, or become an aunt, our family will be better off. Even if people outside won’t forget it completely, they won’t pay attention to it anymore, so we can breathe a sigh of relief! Bitch, shameless!”

Cheng Yuqin gasped for breath after scolding, and finally couldn't do it anymore, she clutched her chest and left with a snort.

Although Cheng Yuqin's words were a bit harsh, they were all true!

Although Ke Xin felt harsh, she still agreed with it.But I feel that Song Zhuo will never look back, so why is Cheng Yuhua still clinging to her so hard!The most important thing is that Uncle Jing Guo is still willing to give her a generous dowry so that she can marry far away. She doesn't want such a good home!

Kexin was on the verge of crying, risking a beating to persuade him over and over again, but Cheng Yuhua seemed deaf and couldn't hear a word.

The whole day is either sitting in front of the window sill in a daze, or playing with the things Song Zhuo gave her before.

It wasn't until the day Song Zhuo brought Ning Qing back to Beijing that his mood fluctuated.

I heard that Song Zhuo was going to marry Ning Qing as his wife, and I heard that Empress Dowager Jingren taught Ning Qing the rules.

Every time he heard the news, Cheng Yuhua would burst into tears, and said in a daze: "These were originally mine! I should learn the distance of the princess! Where does she live now? It must be the one next to the empress dowager." The wing room! I used to live there! She snatched everything that belonged to me!"

But she is no longer the princess of Princess Yuhua, who was once so glorious, and a group of people support her wherever she goes, and she is no longer the eldest daughter of the totalitarian and expensive Yasukuni Mansion!

She could do nothing but cry.

"Last time, I went up to the mountain with the Queen Mother, and we failed. Now, that little business girl, she must also fail?" Cheng Yuhua held Ke Xin's hand.

Seeing Cheng Yuhua like this, Kexin felt distressed and shed tears: "Don't worry, girl, she will definitely not succeed. Even if she is not a girl, how can she be worthy of him as a lowly little business girl!"

Cheng Yuhua just nodded, but the tears could not be wiped away no matter how hard he tried.

For some reason, she recalled six years ago, when she begged Master Yuanzhen at the door, what Master Yuanzhen said, if he could change his life successfully, then he would take away someone's fate and the life of a noble lady.

Destiny lady?who is it?
Cheng Yuhua also thought of the entanglement between her and Song Zhuobuyou Ning Qing, and her intuition made her feel that Ning Qing is the noble daughter of destiny.

But she would never believe it!

Certainly not!It can't be like this!She doesn't believe it!Do not believe!

……

Fahua Temple is the national temple of Tiansheng. It is not far from Shangjing. After walking for about an hour, we will arrive.

Today, Empress Dowager Jingren worshiped the Buddha, and the entire temple was emptied early in the morning.

Ning Qing and Song Zhuo accompanied Empress Dowager Jingren up the mountain.Master Yuanming, the abbot of Fahua Temple, greeted him personally.

"Amitabha, the poor monk Yuanming has seen the empress." Master Yuanming saluted with a smile.

Ning Qing took a look, and saw that Master Yuanming was short and fat, with a smiling face, like a Maitreya Buddha.

"You don't need to be too polite." Empress Dowager Jingren was very happy when she saw the monk.There are a lot of monks around, and she is even happier!

Bathed in various Buddhist sounds, Empress Dowager Jingren enjoyed it a lot.

"This is Miss Ning." Master Yuanming smiled when he saw Ning Qing.

"You also recognize her?" Empress Dowager Jingren was startled.Because Ning Qing has never been to Fahua Temple.It suddenly occurred to me that Song Zhuo's incident was such a big mess, it was impossible not to know about it.

"This way please." Master Yuanming said.

A group of people followed Master Yuanming to the room where distinguished guests were received.As soon as tea was served, the outside maid came to report: "Your Majesty, the princess is here to greet you."

"Princess? Which concubine?" Empress Dowager Jingren was startled.

"It's Princess Chen!" Qiu Momo hastily reminded.

Only then did Empress Dowager Jingren remember that Princess Chen has been praying here for three years.

Ning Qing was overjoyed when she learned that Princess Chen was coming.

Princess Chen prayed for blessings at Fahua Temple three years ago. When she heard that Empress Dowager Jingren was coming, she hurriedly cleaned up and came to pay her respects to Empress Dowager Jingren.

Princess Chen is thinner than three years ago, but her expression is more peaceful.

When she walked into the room, she was stunned because she saw Ning Qing and Song Zhuo!

It's not that she doesn't pay attention to Queen Mother Jingren, but Ning Qing and Song Zhuo are so eye-catching that people are unconsciously attracted to them when they enter the room.

"Girl Qing, why are you back..." Concubine Chen was dizzy and almost wept with joy, and then she felt a little terrified, because Ning Qing was with Empress Dowager Jingren.

Concubine Chen was beating drums in her heart for a moment, not knowing what happened to Ning Qing.And Song Zhuo is back!
"Cough." Empress Dowager Jingren gave Princess Chen a cold look.

"Empress Mother!" Princess Chen came back to her senses and gave a big gift to Empress Dowager Jingren.

Empress Dowager Jingren felt hot eyes again.Because Princess Chen's big gift is not good until now.

"Master Yuanming, how is Master Yuanzhen?" Queen Mother Jingren said.

"It's okay, thank you for your concern."

"Master Yuanming, I am here today because I want to match Zhuo'er and this girl." Empress Dowager Jingren said.

Princess Chen was stunned when she heard that, she couldn't believe it.Combined with the horoscope, that is to marry a regular wife!Could it be that Song Zhuo wants to marry Ning Qing as his wife?

Not to mention how excited Princess Chen was.

"Oh, the horoscope!" Master Yuanming smiled: "The horoscope has already been combined."

"It's already closed?" Empress Dowager Jingren was startled.

"That's right. Tong'an, go get the horoscope." Master Yuanming said.

The little monk named Tong'an ran out immediately, and brought a gold post after a while.

Empress Dowager Jingren frowned, couldn't help but glance at Ning Qing again, and reluctantly opened it, only to see that it read: Destined Marriage, Destined Lady!

"Fateful marriage, destiny's noble daughter? Ah—" Empress Dowager Jingren was so excited that she almost jumped up.Full of disbelief: "Master, who made this..."

"Amitabha Buddha was joined by a poor monk." An old voice sounded.

When everyone turned their heads, they saw a tall, thin but benevolent monk and monk.There is no so-called profound aura around him, only approachable.

"It's Master Yuanzhen! You're finally out! Is this... all true?" Empress Dowager Jingren blushed with excitement.

"Of course." Master Yuanzhen smiled and looked at Song Zhuo: "I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but you didn't listen. If you miss that opportunity, the poor monk will not dare to say it."
