The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 452 Female Crown
Let's talk about the sage, maybe the mountains and rivers of Lishan support people, and maybe his favorite son is coming back, the sage is in a particularly good mood.He is in a good mood, and his health seems to be improving. The old man's complexion is much better than when he left Beijing. Before walking, he had to be supported by others, but now he can mount a horse by himself.

Feeling the changes in his body, the sage was very happy. He tried riding horses, dancing swords and swimming every day, completely forgetting the doctor's repeated advice.

As a result, a bird of sorrow will be born from extreme joy!
In the evening of this day, the sage danced the sword for a while, sweated all over, and went to the hot spring pool to take a bath.

I didn't notice it for a while, and the ground by the pool was too wet and slippery, the saint's feet tilted, and he fell headlong into the hot spring pool.

However, he felt that he was in good health these days, so he didn't leave too many people to serve him. There were only a few maids in the room. Seeing the saint suddenly fell into the water, they panicked and stayed there stupidly.

It took a while for someone to react and shouted "Come here" at the top of their voices.

The servants and bodyguards who were waiting outside rushed in one after another, and jumped into the pool to save people. After a lot of trouble, the saint was finally fished out.

It's a pity that the sage passed out after being carried ashore, and the doctor's diagnosis and treatment failed to wake the old man up.

Looking at the extremely weak saint, the empress almost fainted, she forced herself to order the imperial physician to make a proper diagnosis and treatment, then called the prince, explained it carefully, and ordered him to deal with the affairs of the court and appease the officials and nobles.

Then came the general in charge of guarding Lishan, ordering him to step up his guard in case someone took the opportunity to make trouble.

In fact, the empress originally wanted to temporarily block the news, but when the saint fell into the water, there was too much commotion, so many people saw it, the servants and maids were lucky, but so many guards also witnessed it with their own eyes .

These guards are not ordinary people, let alone slaves who kill at will, but the children of the rich and powerful who have been selected by the family. The fathers and ancestors of the family are either high-ranking officials or noble people, and some are simply relatives of the Li family. It is obviously not good to kill them. possible.

In desperation, the queen had no choice but to strengthen her spirits, protecting the saint while helping the prince to stabilize the court.

At this time, Princess Antong, who was meditating in Ganye Temple, personally wrote a letter, saying that she heard that her grandfather was in a state of illness. Taoist priests, practice meditation.

The prince personally sent An Tong's handwriting to the queen, and the queen read it, and then remembered that she had ordered An Tong to be exiled to Ganye Temple for punishment.

Originally, the queen didn't like An Tong's publicity and debauchery, but now she read An Tong's letter and was quite moved.

Moreover, as a ghost who has been wandering the world for thousands of years, the queen believes in the theory of ghosts and gods. Now that she sees An Tong's request, she actually has some hope—maybe, maybe the Patriarch of Sanqing sees An Tong's sincerity. For the sake of it, the divine power was specially cast to let the saint survive this calamity safely.

However, An Tong is her granddaughter after all, no matter whether it is good or bad, the queen will not sacrifice it at will.

After thinking about it, the queen ordered An Tong to be sent to Lishan to inquire in person.

After Xiao Nan's lobbying, An Tong also felt that it was more suitable for her to be a nun and become a female crown. Now that she met the queen, her attitude was extremely firm-she was determined to be a female Taoist priest!
Seeing this scene, the queen stopped persuading him further. The condition of the saint over there was getting worse and worse.

Therefore, the queen personally bestowed the Taoist name "Miaoshan" on An Tong, and ordered people to build a Taoist temple for her in the suburbs of Beijing. After returning to Beijing, a ceremony to enter the temple was held.

As for the marriage between An Tong and Wei's family, the queen also decided to make the two parties reconcile. Without Wei Yuan's knowledge, he was reconciled in a gorgeous way.

An Tong, oh, no, to be precise, it should be Daoist Miaoshan. After receiving the Queen's order, he immediately took off his nun clothes and put on a Taoist robe, and chanted scriptures and prayed in Tangquan Palace every day.

I don't know whether it was Daoist Sanqing moved by the piety of Master Miao Shan, or the careful care of the imperial physicians, but the saint's condition gradually stabilized.

After four days in a coma, he finally woke up.Although the body is still weak, there are already signs of improvement, and the imperial doctor also said that as long as he continues to rest like this, the sage will recover in a short time.

Of course, his recovery is not a recovery in the true sense, but a return to the state before coma.After all, the saint is already old, and he is plagued by old injuries and diseases. It is basically impossible to get better completely.

Because the sage's improvement happened just after An Tong became a monk, the empress and all the dignitaries believed that An Tong's filial piety and sincerity moved the patriarchs of the Sanqing Dynasty.

Therefore, the queen decreed again, rejecting An Tong's request to resign the title of princess, and rewarding some land and slaves so that she could practice Taoism with peace of mind.

At that time, being a Taoist priest had certain benefits.There is an express provision in the law of the Tang Dynasty, "every Taoist priest shall be given [-] mu of land," and these fields do not have to pay taxes or take corvee.Of course, if a noble girl like An Tong enters Taoism, the treatment will be even more favorable.

Just like what Xiao Nanyou said to An Tong, once An Tong enters Taoism, apart from not being able to get married in a fair manner, the other treatment will be similar to when she was a princess.

There is another advantage of being a female crown, that is, you can live freely - if you want to socialize, you can hold a banquet, if you want to go out of Beijing, you can go to Yunyou to visit Taoism, it is definitely better than being a princess Comfortable.

Moreover, Taoist priests are different from monks and nuns. There are not so many rules and regulations for being a female crown. Even if they have a little relationship with the opposite sex, they can still confidently say that it is for spiritual practice.Do you understand double cultivation, dear!

Anyway, An Tong is also tired of the normal married life, can 'make friends', play and travel as he likes, is it cool? !
The topic is far away, let's get back to the main story.

Talking about the queen's will, those spies left by the king of Wei in Beijing were all dumbfounded: Damn, Princess Antong has become a model of filial piety and purity, if they spread rumors about her again, they are looking for death Are you looking for death or are you looking for death? !
Almost overnight, the rumors that had just been circulated in the market disappeared without a trace, and no one in the restaurants or teahouses mentioned An Tong's romantic past.

Instead, it is the plot of "Antong Princess, the newly appointed Miaoshan Daoist, piously practiced Taoism, and finally moved Sanqing Daozun, and thanks to the protection of three gods, the saint turned danger into safety."

All of a sudden, people's enthusiasm for cultivating Taoism suddenly rose, and the business of several Taoist temples in the capital also boomed, and only a few temple owners were so happy that they saw their teeth but couldn't see their eyes.

Of course, these have nothing to do with An Tong. At this moment, she is sitting happily in the courtyard of Xiao Nan's house, chatting and drinking tea with Xiao Nan.

"Cousin, I really want to thank you this time,"

An Tong was wearing a gray Taoist robe, and she didn't wear a yellow Taoist crown because the entrance ceremony hadn't been officially held yet.She picked up the teacup and gestured slightly to Xiao Nan as a thank you.

Xiao Nan also picked up the teacup, returned the gift with her, and said with a smile: "You're being polite again, hehe, don't be so extravagant next time."

Taking two sips of tea soup, An Tong smiled and nodded, "Well, this is the last time, sister, I will call you sister in the future... Sigh, after this incident, I will know who is sincere to me."

That day when she was in distress at Ganye Temple, even her own sister never visited her, let alone helped her.On the contrary, it was her cousin, who was not far or close to her, who not only helped her escape the sea of ​​suffering, but also helped her win the queen's favor, and her reputation and image were completely reversed.

Perhaps, Xiao Nan had his own purpose in helping her, but so what, he helped her after all, and for this alone, she must know how to be grateful.

In addition, An Tong has also thought about it. In the future, she will leave the secular world and practice Taoism, and she will need more powerful allies to help her.She didn't want to be like the last time, when something happened to her, there was no one around to plead for her.

And Xiao Nan is her most beneficial ally.

Xiao Nan took a sip of the tea soup, put the teacup on the stone table, and met An Tong's eyes, "Okay, I am your older sister, and you should call me elder sister. Actually, I'm just I came up with an idea, this thing can be done, it depends on uncle's support and your luck."

What Xiao Nan said was the truth, even she herself didn't expect that An Tong was so lucky, just picked up Fuchen and read a few scriptures, the condition of the saint over there was stable.

Seeing this situation, the prince who knew the plan couldn't help muttering that his daughter was indeed destined.

An Tong heard this, but smiled and said nothing.

luck?Hehe, if Xiao Nan hadn't come up with an idea, and Cui Youbo hadn't been around Aye to remind her, even if she was so lucky, she would still be able to knock wooden fish in the nunnery now.

Putting down the teacup, took out the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, An Tong suddenly changed the subject, and said, "By the way, I heard that Erniang has made things difficult for sister in front of others several times?"

Xiao Nan was startled, and then he remembered that the "second mother" mentioned by An Tong refers to Ping An.

There was a wry smile on the corner of her lips, and she said: "It's not difficult to say, it's just that I'm not very close. To be honest, I don't know where I offended her, and she missed it so much."

Saying that, Xiao Nan shook his head helplessly.

An Tong showed a confident smile, and said boldly: "Sister, don't worry, Erniang is my younger sister. We may not see each other for a long time. When I go back, I will definitely talk to her about it."

In the past few days in Lishan, she has inquired a lot of news. Her good sister has laughed at her sister in front of people more than once.

Hmph, do you think it's great that your aunt is favored?Or do you think that An Tong won't be able to get out of her in this life, that's why you taunt her without any scruples?
An Tong has long been displeased with Ping An. She used to have too many scruples and dared not do anything lightly. Now that she has become a monk, she is afraid of being a bird.Besides, it's only natural for the older sister to discipline the younger sister. Even if the trouble comes in front of Aye, Aye will never favor peace.

Xiao Nan was waiting for this sentence, but she still reminded tactfully: "Well, you are sisters, you should have a good chat after not seeing each other for a long time. However, Ping An has a quick temper, and, since her appearance was damaged, When you talk to her, don't mention related things, otherwise—”

An Tong waved his hand and said disapprovingly, "Don't worry, sister, I know all about it. By the way, I wonder if sister has heard of something?"

Xiao Nan raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?"

An Tong showed a touch of embarrassment on his face, and said: "I heard people say that Rong Guogong is going to get married, and the lady is the daughter of the Wang family in Taiyuan..."

PS: Second update.I don't know why, but it's written, a certain Sa thinks it's not bad to be a female crown, and it doesn't hinder the romance if you have freedom. It is definitely the first choice of single female nobles in ancient times.
