Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 532 The Wrath of Pingyang

No matter how sad and sad, life must continue.Princess Pingyang is not a person who cries and complains, seeing the saint's aging appearance yesterday, she and Xue Lang are only lucky to be back, and have no regrets.

When she got up early in the morning, Princess Pingyang sent someone to boil eggs to apply to her red and swollen eyes from crying too much yesterday, and listened to Rugui's report by the way: "Your Highness, since the beginning of the year, the sage issued an edict to remove the three major Buddhist temples in Beijing, the two The monks and priests in the Daoist Temple were forced to return to vulgarity, and the number of temples in Beijing decreased! The slaves and maidservants have been running for many days since they received His Highness's order, and those temples refused when they heard that they wanted to perform ritual rituals for Dalang and Shiro Non-stop, the old slave is not easy to force, so... the old slave is incompetent, and has not found a monk who can do things."

Princess Pingyang paused her egg-rolling hand, said for a moment of silence, "I know, let's forget it if you don't come, we'll talk about it later."

Hearing that Princess Pingyang didn't blame her, Rugui breathed a sigh of relief: "Here."

Princess Pingyang waved her hand, and Rugui retreated.When the redness and swelling of the eyes subsided, Princess Pingyang asked people to take the eggs away, with a gloomy expression.

Xue Lang saw that Shui Nu had breakfast under the feeding of the nanny, and was then taken out to play by the nanny, and had some exercise to digest his food, so he sat down next to Princess Pingyang, and asked, "Do you want to save elder brother and Yuanji?"

Princess Pingyang nodded, and said: "Eldest brother and Shiro are not good, but they are also brothers of my mother. Now that they have died tragically, they are following the trend of the world. I am afraid that there will be no one who burns incense candles behind them. As a sister, I cannot protect them." It is the order of the brothers, but it can be done by offering sacrifices to them."

The ancients paid attention to the things behind them.Erlang was ruthless, and all the sons of Jiancheng and Yuanji were killed, and there was not even a single heir who fell behind him. The end was tragic.

This is the intention of Princess Pingyang, Xue Lang can understand, but, being intimidated by Erlang's prestige, and now he is in the limelight, no temple is willing to accept such a ritual.

Princess Pingyang sighed, and said: "Forget it, let's pay homage in the mansion first. I will go into the palace later to visit my sister-in-law."

Jiancheng's first wife, the former concubine Zheng, was not killed, but lived in Changlemen. Jiancheng's sons were all killed, but her daughter was not. , plus two concubine daughters.Jiancheng's widow, Xue Lang, who is not a man to visit, nodded one by one and said, "You go."

Xue Lang stayed at home to take care of the children, and settled the people and things he brought back by the way.Princess Pingyang got into the car and headed straight for Changle Gate, but because of her body, she didn't dare to go fast and drove slowly.

When I arrived at Changle Gate, I sent people to go in to report, but was stopped by the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper was an old woman, about 40 years old, nearly fifty years old. Princess Pingyang had seen her twice in the Saint's Palace, and vaguely remembered her. Surnamed Mo.

Mo Momo obviously knew Princess Pingyang, seeing her get out of the car, she immediately came over to salute: "Servant Mo Shi pays homage to His Highness Princess An Guo Pingyangzhang, I don't know His Highness is here, what is your order?"

Princess Pingyang said: "I want to visit my sister-in-law, please let me know."

Mother Mo had a respectful smile on her face, but she didn't move her footsteps, and she didn't show any signs to the people around her, she said with a smile: "Return to Your Highness, Your Highness ordered, this old servant should follow, but here is Zheng's residence, Zheng's status is very special, visits are not allowed at leisure, if you want to visit, you need to show a warrant, your highness is gold and jade, and old slaves are humble, please have mercy on your highness, don't embarrass the old slave."

Princess Pingyang didn't say a word, just looked at her in silence, her eyes seemed to be calm, but at the same time, there seemed to be a cold light, which made people's hearts go cold for a while.Mother Mo didn't dare to take it too seriously, and said in a respectful voice: "This is a matter of the sage's decree and the crown prince's decree. This old slave dare not make decisions without authorization. I beg Your Highness to forgive me!"

Princess Pingyang was unmoved, and just looked at her so calmly, seeing that Madam Mo's face turned pale, before she quietly said: "Zheng?"

Nanny Mo trembled, screaming in her heart that she was not good, she blurted out her usual address in a moment of pride, she was so frightened that she immediately fell to her knees: "This old slave made a mistake, Your Highness forgive me!"

As he spoke, he opened his mouth.Princess Pingyang ignored her, and casually watched her beating her cheeks red and swollen, and said slowly: "I remember you, you are the old mother in father's palace."

Mo Shi was overjoyed, and quickly said: "It turns out that His Highness still remembers this old slave, please His Highness, for everyone's sake, please spare this old slave!"

"Forgive you?"

Princess Pingyang sighed, and said resolutely: "What a naughty slave, you still have the face to mention your father! You are also worthy of calling sister-in-law Zheng's family? You are so courageous! Come on, slap your mouth!"

"Here!"

The attendants behind him stepped forward, and each of them clamped Mo Shi, and began to slap his mouth cracklingly.The movement at the door naturally alarmed the people inside, and the people sent to watch over here quietly came to see that it was Princess Pingyang coming, and their leader, Nanny Mo, was still being slapped and her mouth was pressed, and she dared not come out.

The commotion of the palace people naturally disturbed the owner inside——

"My lady, my lady!"

Wanshun's maid, Fuxi, ran in in a panic, and Mrs. Zheng raised her head and gave her a scolding look: "Why are you so flustered?"

Fuxi hurriedly said: "Return to my lady, Ping...His Royal Highness Princess Pingyang has come down, and she is ordered to follow Nanny Mo's mouth!"

"San Niang?! Has she returned to Beijing?"

Mrs. Zheng was a little absent-minded, her hand slipped to her abdomen, she said with a certain expression, "Quickly inquire and see why Mrs. Mo was punished."

"Here."

Fuxi hurriedly went out to inquire, and came back after a while, with an expression of displeasure and schadenfreude on his face, he replied: "Mrs. Mo, said that the Mo family disrespected you in front of the princess, and she was punished by the princess just now!"

Zheng Shi was startled, then sighed quietly, with a complicated expression——

Princess Pingyang is not a harsh person, she did what she did today, she thought she was supporting their mother and daughter, fearing that these slaves would treat them harshly if their mother and daughter were in such a situation.

The Zheng family and Princess Pingyang both grew up in aristocratic families, so they are naturally aware of the tricks of these servants.What Pingyang did today was to make life easier for their mother and daughter, so that they would not be bullied by a bunch of slaves.

Zheng and Jiancheng are husband and wife, so they naturally know that although Jiancheng and Princess Pingyang are of the same mother, the relationship between brother and sister is not close, if they are close, Erlang and Pingyang are better.But Princess Pingyang was the first royal family member to visit her after the construction failed and was killed.

Zheng's mood was rather complicated, she lightly stroked her abdomen with her palm, then looked at her daughter sitting beside her, nodded and said: "Go outside and watch, if Pingyang comes in, ask someone to notify me in advance, I will go to meet her. "

"Here."

Fuxi ran out quickly, but this time, Mrs. Zheng no longer blamed her for being flustered.Wanshun gently tugged at the corner of her mother's clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Mother, is Third Aunt helping us?"

Mrs. Zheng nodded, stroking her daughter who had grown up a lot overnight, and said: "Exactly, Wanshun, you have to remember that your third aunt was the first person to visit our mother and daughter after your father died. If you have difficulties in the future, your third aunt is the one who can help you."

Wan Shun nodded.

Outside the door, Ako came back with a warrant, and Princess Pingyang said calmly, "Just stop."

The attendant just stopped patting Mammy Mo's mouth.Under no one's restraint, Mo's cheeks were red and swollen, and his mouth was full of blood, and he immediately collapsed on the ground, panting as he crawled.

Princess Pingyang looked at her condescendingly, and said: "You are from my father's side, you can come to Changle Gate, I think it's because my father is worried about my sister-in-law and niece. You come from my father's palace, so you should be able to take good care of my sister-in-law for my father. Erlang's daughter-in-law is lenient and kind, and she serves her father extremely filially. My father will not refute his proposal and promises you the right to take care of your sister-in-law. I don't think you are a snob, unfaithful as a slave, trampling on highs and lows, and vainly caring about the grace of God. You You are my father's servant, I only slap my mouth today, and you will be dealt with by your own father!"

After finishing speaking, he gave her a cold look, and ordered Chuxue to show her the order, and walk in first.
