I opened the Taoist Temple in Datang

Now that he is in charge of the Taoist temple, Li Miaozhen first found a residence in the apse and made the mattress himself.Two elderly female Taoist priests wanted to come in to help, but Li Miaozhen waved them off.

In her previous life, she was not a rich and well-dressed eldest lady, even if she is a princess in this life, she still does many things by herself.

She is very familiar with Guizhen Temple. There is only a medium-sized Sanqing Hall and a few living rooms, which will be the daily residence of female Taoists in the future.The bamboo forest behind the hall is like a sea of ​​green, and the wind makes a rustling sound.Although this place is in a deep palace, it seems to be in a paradise.

Li Miaozhen felt that although the place was small, it was easy to tidy up.She planned to spend three days cleaning Guizhen Temple inside and out, and after making a plan, she rolled up her sleeves and started working.

The two elderly female Taoist priests saw it, and felt uncomfortable, so they quietly went to Anren Hall and told the familiar palace people, so in the past few days, one after another, some palace people sneaked out with Xue Cairen behind their backs, and went to Guizhen Temple work.

Li Miaozhen kept this intention in his heart, and within three days, his concept of Guizhen took on a new look.

The withered and yellow weeds have all been removed, and the ground has been swept clean.The tattered red flags were taken down and replaced with old flags that had been stored for more than ten years.The long table, the window lattice, etc. have all been scrubbed clean, and even the tattered window paper has been pasted up.

"Look, Xiaoli, our Taoist temple is quite decent." Li Miaozhen looked back and forth, feeling very satisfied.When I walked to the front of the dining hall, I saw one of the only two female Taoist priests left in the temple, an old man named Sukong, staring at the pot in a daze.

"What's the matter? Is there not enough rice?" Li Miaozhen was a little surprised, the Guizhen Temple has always been provided by the royal family.

"Reporting to the princess," Sukong said in a low voice, "The chief accountant should have sent a case earlier, but until now, there hasn't been..."

She stood silently in front of the hall for a while, without speaking, and counted the supplies.Except for the joss sticks, Guizhen Temple's supplies are calculated on a per capita basis, so they were eating leftovers in the past few days.

Li Miaozhen is very aware of the fact that the palace always tends to follow others.Seeing that she didn't speak, Sukong asked in a low voice, "If not, can you borrow some from Xue Cairen?"

Li Miaozhen almost laughed out loud, and said: "Farewell, let me go to the accounting department for a while."

……

Six innings and 24 divisions.

She is no stranger to this place. When Mao Saburo was still there, she came here countless times at night.Li Miaozhen, dressed in a plain white feather coat, with her hair tied up in a coil, went straight to the accounting department.

The palace people in front of the palace saw such a strange little crown lady approaching, with a beautiful face, they couldn't help but take a few more glances.Only the female officer in charge of this matter frowned after hearing the words Guizhen Guan.

"Master, it's really..."

"Your Majesty won't allow it?"

The female officer laughed awkwardly: "How could Your Majesty be like this..."

"Is that Shang Gong Ju Gongzheng's disapproval?"

"It's not..."

Li Miaozhen smiled sweetly: "That's because a high-ranking person warned you to embarrass me. The ones who can control the palace again are nothing more than their sisters."

The eldest princess disdained to do such a thing, Li Miaozhen thought, it should be the Yang sisters.She never offended the Yang sisters face to face, but she was the one who intervened in the matter of Princess Guangning, there is no wall that does not leak.

The female officer did not speak, which was a tacit consent.

Li Miaozhen didn't say much, just asked a question: "Is the surname Yang in this world?"

After returning to Guizhen Temple, Li Miaozhen saw Princess Xinping by accident.

Xinping and his son-in-law Jiang Qingchu both came, and when they saw her, they hugged her in their arms.Li Miaozhen managed to catch her breath: "My sister didn't say anything when she came."

"These days have changed too much." Xinping looked at the dilapidated surroundings, and couldn't help but blame her: "You are stupid! I heard that Aunt Yuzhen wanted you to go to her temple, why didn't you agree? "

Of course it was because she was afraid that she would want to be his mistress!Li Miaozhen just wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.In the semantics of the Tang Dynasty, she could be called 'Shi Niang', but not the master's wife.

She appropriated Luo Gongyuan's lines: "I want to practice penance."

"It's nonsense. It's not yet the year of cardamom, so why do you practice hard?" Xinping pointed to a few boxes and said, "I heard that you have arrived at Guizhen Temple. ..."

Li Miaozhen was very touched and said: "Everyone has come, let's stay here."

Xin Ping and the son-in-law sat for a while, holding her hand and exhorting her for a long time, before leaving when it was getting dark.The accountant also sent something, Sukong was very surprised and asked, "How did the princess do it?"

"Me?" Li Miaozhen smiled, stretched out her hand to pick up the wick, half of her figure was reflected on the wall.She said softly: "I didn't do anything, it's just that they didn't want to offend others, but also wanted to imply to me that someone was stumbling in the middle."

The people in the palace are all human beings, even if she is down and out, how could she offend so easily.It's just that the face of the Yang sisters has to be taken into account, so it's just a matter of meaning.

Being in the palace walls, the warmth and coldness of human relationships is also practice.She stared at the wick burning and shaking, and at some point, the first snow in early winter began to fall outside the window.

……

It snowed heavily for four or five days. One day when Li Miaozhen got up early to open the mountain gate, she accidentally found two big packages at the gate.

Open it and see that there are a lot of Hubing and cooked mutton inside.

The footprints in front of the mountain gate are very shallow, and the package is already cold, it seems that it has been delivered for a long time.

Li Miaozhen didn't know who gave it, could it be Princess Xinping?But it's not like her style to give it away secretly.Li Miaozhen figured it out for a while, but didn't have a clue.

She had no choice but to pick up the package first, and did not move for a while, and sent Xiaoli to squat outside the next night.Xiaoli is a lynx, which is an animal in the snow, and it is not afraid of the cold.

After squatting like this for a few days, the suspect in the Hubing mutton case was finally caught.

Despite Xiaoli's small size, she is a good lynx when it comes to catching people.Xiaoli grabbed the man's hair roughly and let out a roar.

Li Miaozhen was startled awake in the dream, put on a cloak and ran out.She looked up, and it was dawn, and the cold wind was piercingly cold.

"Oh, let go, Xiaoli!" She didn't expect Xiaoli to catch people so hard, after all, she came to deliver things.When the other party saw her coming out, he covered his face with his sleeve.

However, this did not prevent Li Miaozhen from recognizing him.She took a closer look and asked in surprise, "Su Fa?"

Xiao Li stopped her hand, Su Fa stroked her messy hair, and said awkwardly, "Princess."

Heavy snow fell from the sky one after another, and there was no one on the left or right.Li Miaozhen saw that there were still two large packages at the gate of the mountain, which were exactly the same as before.

"How do you know I'm here?" She was surprised.

Su Fa lowered his head and said, "I heard from my aunts that the princess has suffered a lot here..."

"So?" She looked at the package, and then at Su Fa.

He hurriedly explained: "The aunts entrusted me to send this, not me..." But the more he explained, the more feeble he seemed.

Li Miaozhen didn't quite believe it, but didn't ask further.She was even more confused about another point: "Then how can you enter and leave the Tai Chi Palace at will?" Even though the Tang Dynasty is open, it will not open the harem!Even if Su Fa is the stepson of Princess Zhenyang, he is still an outsider.

Xiaoli wandered around to squat at Li Miaozhen's feet, looking at him one by one.Su blushed and waved his hands again and again: "Princess just accept it, why, why ask so many questions!"

After he finished speaking, he ran back, obviously unwilling to answer the question.Li Miaozhen looked at his back, and reluctantly picked up the package, thinking that she could only wait for Xue to leave the palace and explain it to him face to face.She is not living that badly now, probably at a well-off level with ample food and clothing.

However, the hot pancakes and cooked mutton really smell fragrant, adding a lot of warmth in this harsh winter.

Unknowingly, Tianbao's ten years are coming to an end.

As the New Year approached, Li Miaozhen was making peach charms in the hall, and the palace servants of Anren Hall came to beg for bamboo.Before the palace man left, he smiled at her and said, "Won't the princess go out to have a look? At the end of the year, envoys from various countries have come to Taiji Palace to congratulate. There are all kinds of people. It's very interesting to watch!"

She smiled and said, "Is there anything to watch this year?"

"This year, envoys from the Western Regions brought kabuki to meet His Majesty in front of Zhu Ming's gate, and are waiting to perform dances for His Majesty!"

Li Miao really likes to watch people dance, so after finishing the Taofu, she changed into a moon-white round-neck robe and slipped out pretending to be a young man.Usually at this time, there are many miscellaneous people in the palace, and no one will notice her.

The weather was fine today, and the emperor also came to Zhu Ming Gate to receive the audience of the envoys from various countries on the tower.After the audience from various countries, there will be a song and dance in the open air. These people have strange hair colors and pupils. In Li Miaozhen's words, they are a group of Caucasians.

She stood in the crowd watching the singing and dancing, but she didn't know that there was someone under Zhu Ming's door, quietly looking up at her.

……

It was a woman dressed as a dancer, and also a tall, long-legged, graceful woman.She braided her long crimson hair into long braids, embellished with big and bright pearls, and covered her face with a thin gauze.Her eyes are sky blue, and her frown and smile are all captivatingly beautiful.
