[Wu Zetian colleagues] Wu Lingchun
Chapter 25
Ming Chongyan kept saying "Miss Shangguan is born with great luck", so it doesn't seem like a good word for Wan'er to smack her.
Compared with people of this era, Wan'er has more than 1000 years of knowledge. She doesn't believe in the ghosts, ghosts, gods and Buddhas they worship.
The rigorous historical research in her previous life trained her rational thinking, and people who study history, because they have read too many stories of rise and fall, have a more transparent mind than ordinary people.
Therefore, when hearing these words from Ming Chongyan's mouth, Wan'er was not ecstatic like most people in this era who thought she was really "destined by heaven", she just felt flustered, I was flustered at this famous Taoist priest in the early Tang Dynasty, why did he talk to her a little court lady like that.
Wan'er then ignored Ming Chongyan's words, but saluted Ming Chongyan as usual.
"Shangguan Wan'er, a late student, met Mr. Ming." Since Xue Jieyu called him "Mr. Ming", Wan'er considered himself a postgraduate and met him as a student.
Ming Chongyan didn't stop her, and didn't insist on insisting. He folded his hands and watched her finish the salute.
He grinned: "Miss Shangguan said before that Pindao admitted the wrong person?"
Wan'er silently rolled her eyes, knowing that the Taoist priest would not let it go.
She had been prepared for a long time, and replied: "There are so many women surnamed Shangguan in the world, and the student is only a little maid, how dare you accept what you say?"
I'm just a little court lady, if Mr. Ming has any muddy water, don't drag me into it.
After all, Xue Jieyu still felt sorry for her disciple, and said, "Mr. Ming met Wan'er before?"
Ming Chongyan chuckled: "Believe it or not, the Master, the poor Taoist just relied on hope before, so he saw the origin of Miss Shangguan."
Wan'er's eyebrows jumped with a "boom"——
When the Taoist said about her "origin", was she referring to the origin of her time travel?
Wan'er didn't believe it, but she didn't dare to be very sure.
For the sake of safety, she chose to be a bystander, talking less and observing more.
Only Xue Jieyu smiled faintly, as if she didn't take Ming Chongyan's words to heart at all.
"She's a little girl, her soul hasn't grown up yet! Where can I see her spirit? Mr. Ming is flattering her too much!" Xue Jieyu said.
The husband spoke for himself, so he probably can be safe.
Wan'er thought.
She came from time travel, and people of this era can't explain things like "time travel".They don't understand the scientific knowledge of more than 1000 years ago. They will only think of her as an evil monster. Once they know her origin, they may ask a mage to kill her.
Therefore, even to her closest relatives, Wan'er would not tell her background.
Ming Chongyan looked at Wan'er from the left and Xue Jieyu from the right, seeming to realize something.
He laughed, and said: "Don't worry, Master, don't worry, Miss Shangguan too! Impoverished people are not bad people!"
The corners of Wan'er's mouth twitched slightly: Is it a bad person or not, it's not just talking about it.
Xue Jieyu's gray brows trembled, she coughed lightly, and said, "Mr. Ming came here today for that purpose, right?"
Ming Chongyan frowned: "That's not true! Today is Ah Hui——"
Xue Jieyu coughed.
Ming Chongyan was slightly shocked, glanced at Miao Wan'er, and smiled a little on his face: "Actually, there is another thing."
"Please speak!" Xue Jieyu had no choice but to let him speak.
Ming Chongyan turned to Wan'er: "Pindao wants to make a divination for Miss Shangguan."
Why can't you get around me!
Wan'er frowned.
"The Taoist priest loves you, Wan'er can't afford it, please..."
Ming Chongyan raised his hand to stop what Wan'er was going to say next, and said sternly: "Miss Shangguan doesn't know, but the Master knows. There are countless people in this world who want to ask the poor Taoist to approve a hexagram. That is Even the two saints, the Emperor and the Empress, would not speak easily!"
As he spoke, he looked at Wan'er meaningfully.
So, you are looking up to me, give me face, I can't give face shame?
Wan'er rolled her eyes again in her heart.
This Taoist came too strangely, his words and deeds were completely weird, Wan'er didn't dare to take the risk.
Just as she was about to resign, Ming Chongyan said: "How about this, Pindao and Miss Shangguan each take a step back, how about it?"
What does it mean to take a step back?
Wan'er looked at him puzzled.
Ming Chongyan pinched his chin and thought for a while, then said, "How about I say a word to Miss Shangguan?"
As he spoke, he didn't care whether Wan'er agreed or not, and he said to himself: "The phoenix is flying, and Ming Qiang Qiang."
Ming Chongyan was afraid that Wan'er would not know which characters they were, so he took a pen and paper and wrote eight characters on it.
Wan'er stared at the eight characters, vaguely remembering that this is a word in the Book of Songs to describe a husband and wife who are well-matched and harmonious. Later generations often use it to express good wishes to newlyweds, which has a great meaning of harmony.
However, Ming Chongyan gave these eight characters to her... Is this the prophecy he approved for her?
If this Taoist priest is really capable in divination, then the meaning of these eight characters means that she can marry a good husband and have a deep love between husband and wife?
Wan'er couldn't help but let out a "ha"——
Her identity in this time and space, Ruyi Langjun?No matter how it feels impossible.
Ming Chongyan's expression was extremely serious, so serious that Wan'er was surprised.
"Miss Shangguan, do you remember?" He asked.
Wan'er frowned.
Ming Chongyan showed him the eight characters again, then took the paper, lit it on a candle, and burned it to ashes.
Looking at the thing that turned into a ball of paper ashes in the orange-red flame, Wan'er felt that the scene in front of her was becoming more and more strange.
The Taoist priest didn't seem to be burning a note, but rather seemed to be performing some kind of magic.
Wan'er felt uncomfortable all over her body.
Xue Jieyu couldn't stand it anymore, fearing that Ming Chongyan would scare her little disciple again, she called the old lady, "Ah Qing, take Mr. Ming to offer incense."
The old mother came and asked Ming Chongyan to go where he should go.
Before Ming Chongyan left, he still hadn't forgotten to say to Wan'er: "Nowadays, when Empress Dowager is employing people, Miss Shangguan is really inferior to her talent, how about..."
"Ah Qing! Hurry up and lead the way for Mr. Ming!" Xue Jieyu interrupted him.
Ming Chongyan had no choice but to go with the old mother.
Wan'er still feels dazed because of what Ming Chongyan did just now.
Xue Jieyu saw her staring at the ashes on the ground in a daze, and secretly scolded Ming Chongyan, a crazy Taoist priest.
She approached, gently supported Wan'er's shoulder, and said: "That Taoist priest has always been crazy, his parents can't control him! Don't take his nonsense to heart."
Feeling Xue Jieyu's body temperature, Wan'er's mood calmed down a bit.
"Sir, is he familiar with him?" Wan'er couldn't help asking.
Xue Jieyu paused when she heard the words, and her expression immediately returned to normal: "He has been favored by His Majesty for a long time, and he is a celebrity in front of the imperial court. Because of this, it is inevitable that we have some contacts with him."
That's it, Wan'er nodded secretly.
However, she vaguely heard Ming Chongyan unintentionally confided "A Hui"... Who is Ah Hui?
Xue Jieyu didn't want Wan'er to think about Ming Chongyan's affairs, and told her worriedly, "Don't listen to that Taoist priest talking nonsense", and then asked Wan'er how she was with her mother before noon.
Wan'er then said one by one, and conveyed her mother's gratitude to Xue Jieyu for her teaching.
Xue Jieyu was naturally happy, and pulled Wan'er to her room, and handed her a simple wooden box.
Wan'er knew that this was the "gift" mentioned before, and she felt anticipation in her heart.
"Open it and have a look." Xue Jieyu smiled and looked at her expectant appearance.
Wan'er should be, happily opened the wooden box, and saw the things lying in the wooden box——
It is a string of vermilion beads that seem to drip blood, so precious to the naked eye.
Xue Jieyu took out the string of Buddhist beads, pulled Wan'er's left wrist, and slipped it in.
Wan'er stared blankly at the Buddhist beads on her wrist, the vermilion color matched her fair skin very well.
But this thing is too expensive!
Wan'er subconsciously wanted to fade away and return it.
Stopped by Xue Jieyu: "These are Buddhist beads made of southern red agate that An Nanguo paid tribute to. They are the only string in the world. His Majesty gave it to me... I am old and useless to wear, so I simply gave it to you. It can be regarded as a master-apprentice."
Wan'er heard that there was a sense of seclusion in her words, she felt sad in her heart, she hurriedly shook her head and said, "Mister is not old! You can still live to be a hundred years old! When that time comes, you will bestow upon your disciple..."
As he said that, he wanted to take off the string of Buddhist beads.
Stopped by Xue Jieyu again, she said with a smile: "You kid, you can talk! How can anyone live for 160 years? Wouldn't that be an old goblin?"
As she spoke, she brushed away Wan'er's hand, and pulled down Wan'er's cuff, covering the string of Buddhist beads.
"Good boy, your future will be as bright as the sea and the sky, and you will never spend your whole life buried in this deep palace. You must wear this string of Buddhist beads all the time. One is to regard it as Master's wish and to fulfill Master's lifelong aspirations; Just this string, it will be your blessing for the rest of your life, remember it!" Xue Jieyu said earnestly.
Wan'er has lost her mind.
Today is her birthday, why are there various signs that make her feel that a huge change is about to take place besides being moved or surprised?
In the following days, Wan'er resumed her peaceful study life in Jing'an Palace.
A month's time passed by in a hurry in the daily routine.
When Wan'er ushered in a new day of study, all the officials outside Chang'an City had already prostrated themselves on the ground, waiting for the holy driver and turned towards him.
The emperor fell ill again on the way back from this trip to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen.
At any rate, after struggling to cope with the reception of all the officials, the emperor returned to Daming Palace to recuperate.
Contrary to his state, it was Empress Wu who had just tasted the taste of Yaxian in Taishan Fengchan.After sending the emperor back to his bedroom, she was full of energy and went to Yanju's palace——
There, there are piles of state affairs waiting for her to deal with.
That's where she longed for.
Princess Taiping also went to Mount Tai with the Ersheng.
After returning to the capital, she felt as if she had regained her freedom.Compared with the head-scratching rush and the numerous rules and regulations in the process of enshrining Zen, she felt that the life in the palace could be called carefree.
Back in her own palace, she just took a bath, washed off the dust, and changed her clothes. Before she could figure out what to do next, the little eunuch reported that Zhao Ying had passed on the Queen's will, and that the princess had come to her. to ask questions.
Compared with people of this era, Wan'er has more than 1000 years of knowledge. She doesn't believe in the ghosts, ghosts, gods and Buddhas they worship.
The rigorous historical research in her previous life trained her rational thinking, and people who study history, because they have read too many stories of rise and fall, have a more transparent mind than ordinary people.
