After divorcing my ex-husband, I became the princess of the county

Ciju nunnery.

Meng Jingshu saw that Empress Gu wanted to live in the nunnery, so she knelt down in front of Empress Gu and said, "Queen Mother, the nunnery is poor, you should go back to the palace earlier."

Queen Gu said: "Jue'er drank all night in the snowy night yesterday, and he has been hungover so many times this year.

He had a high fever this morning, his body was covered with red rashes, and he fell asleep. Doctor Li said that if he got angry again, he would be hangovered for many years, his liver would not be able to bear it, and he would have less than two years to live.

As a mother, I have no choice but to come to the Buddha and ask the Buddha to bless him to be healthy and safe. "

Meng Jingshu was taken aback for a moment, "Mother's queen."

Queen Gu said: "I don't have the face to ask you to forgive him for what my son did. If he is wrong, he is wrong. If you don't forgive him and anger him, it's the retribution he deserves. I can only do it." I beg the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to let him live for two more years for my beloved son's heart."

Meng Jingshu looked at Empress Gu in front of her, raised her eyes to the snow-covered hillside outside, and held the Buddhist beads tightly in her hand.

Seeing that Meng Jingshu's expression did not change, Queen Gu sighed softly and said: "Jingshu, can't you even pretend? Even if you still have Lu Hang in your heart, he already has Hua Ying. With Lu Hang With such a temper, he could not abandon Hua Ying even for the sake of responsibility.

Just pretend, you will be the empress after Jue'er ascends the throne, and after that you will be the empress dowager, with all the glory and power above tens of thousands.

For us women, especially the women in the royal harem, it is ridiculous to talk about the feelings of your husband. When the Empress Dowager is honored in the future, what do you care about whether Zhao Jue lied to you? "

Meng Jingshu did not expect that the Queen would say such a thing. It would be a crime of great treason for Your Majesty to hear it!
Queen Gu said: "Think about it carefully, if you don't want to go back, then I will accompany you here to become a monk and pray for Jue'er."

Meng Jingshu sighed softly when she saw Empress Gu who was at the side, "Mother, meat and fish are forbidden in this nunnery, I wonder if you are used to eating vegetarian food?"

Queen Gu said, "There is an imperial chef who cooks vegetarian dishes in the palace. I also eat vegetarian dishes every now and then, so I'm naturally used to it."

Meng Jingshu thought about the vegetarian food in the palace, which was indeed vegetarian. The vegetarian chicken was cooked with braised gravy, the boiled cabbage had to be paired with chicken, duck and ham. Even the simple dried bamboo shoot soup was made by several old ducks. of.

The vegetarian food in the palace is completely different from the vegetarian food in the nunnery. I only hope that Queen Gu can go back to the palace after eating a vegetarian meal.

……

Emperor Jing Yuan was not free these two days. During the Chinese New Year, there were many worships as a king, and no matter if there were foreign officials and foreign envoys who came to pay New Year's greetings, he still needed to be summoned. It was hard to be free in the evening.

Emperor Jingyuan then went to Queen Gu's palace. When he entered, he saw that it was empty, but there were a few maids packing their clothes.

"Your Majesty, this potted plant is your favorite? Do you want to take it with you?"

"Come on, this potted plant has been burned with silver charcoal for many years in this palace. If it is placed in the Ciju nunnery, it will probably freeze to death."

Emperor Jingyuan entered and said, "What is Ciju Temple?"

Seeing Emperor Jing Yuan in front of him, the two little maids who were talking knelt down and said, "Your Majesty!"

Emperor Jing Yuan said coldly: "Where is the queen?"

"Reply, please tell me, Your Majesty, the Queen has gone to Ciju Temple to practice and pray for the people of the country!"

Emperor Jing Yuan said angrily: "She went to the Ciju Nunnery to pray for blessings, did she ask me? Someone, go and invite the First Prince."

"Back, back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is seriously ill, and fell asleep with a high fever this morning. At this moment, the imperial physicians are still in the Prince's Mansion. I am afraid that they will infect His Majesty with the disease when they enter the palace."

Emperor Jingyuan frowned slightly and said, "Go to the First Prince's Mansion."

When Emperor Jingyuan arrived at the eldest prince's residence, he saw Zhao Jue lying on the bed extremely weak, with a pale face and red rashes on his neck and hands. He felt very distressed and said, "Jue'er."

"Father."

When Zhao Jue saw Emperor Jingyuan coming, he even wanted to get out of bed and salute.

Emperor Jing Yuan walked up to Zhao Jue and took a seat and said, "There is no need to salute."

Emperor Jingyuan stretched out his hand to touch Zhao Jue's forehead and said: "You are getting more and more capable. You don't come to the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, and you drink wine all night in the open air on a snowy night on New Year's Day. Do you really want me to give you a white hair again?" Black-haired man? I already lost two sons, do you still want me to send another son away?

Jue'er, you are my eldest son and also my first son. Since you were born, I have placed high hopes on you. Is it really worth it for a Meng Jingshu? "

Zhao Jue stood up and said, "Father, Jingshu is my life!"

Emperor Jing Yuan sighed helplessly: "So it is destined that you will not have a biological son to take over the throne in this life, and you are actually happy?"

"What Lu Wanzhi has taught in the past year is the way of being a king."

Emperor Jing Yuan said angrily: "This is simply nonsense."

"Father, even if Heyi can't be emperor, there is Brother Du, and the princesses in the backyards of the third and fifth younger brothers also have children one after another...but I can't live without Jingshu."

Emperor Jing Yuan was both annoyed and helpless: "I exposed you in front of Meng Jingshu that day because I thought you would give up if she couldn't forgive you after a year or so.

Now it seems that you are getting deeper and deeper, that's all, I am getting old, and I don't want any more sons to leave before me.

In the future, whoever you want to choose to be the throne, whether it is suitable, whether it is Cheng'er, or Du'er, since I am no longer here, and I will never see you again, go with you. "

Emperor Jingyuan sighed again, looked at the red rash on Zhao Jue's body and said, "Do you still remember when you were a child? At that time, you also had a high fever and were covered in red rash. At that time, your father and your concubine Shumu were away fighting.

You were afraid that your mother would be worried, and you were afraid that I would find out that you were sick and not be interested in fighting. You were so itchy that you wrapped yourself up tightly in the hot summer, for fear that someone would see your rash.

At that time, you were only three years old. At that time, I thought that I must seize the throne. Even if it was for you, I must not lose. Looking back, it was my father who was sorry for you. At that time, I only wanted your life to be safe and happy, but It is also me who has deprived you too much.

I will personally help you to persuade Meng Jingshu, but even if Meng Jingshu returns to the East Palace, you will have to rely on yourself in the future. I don't want you to be so disrespectful to your body anymore. "

Zhao Jue said with a sore throat, "Yes, Daddy."

Emperor Jing Yuan said to his subordinates: "Go to Ciju nunnery."

"Your Majesty, it's already dark."

Emperor Jingyuan was not angry and said to himself: "It's time to go when it gets dark. Do you really want the queen to spend the night on that mountain? She has never lived such a miserable life since she was a child. Just in the nunnery. She will definitely not be used to eating vegetarian dishes."

Hearing what Emperor Jing Yuan said, Zhao Jue knew in his heart that it was his mother who had gone to Ciju nunnery.

When eating dinner in the nunnery, Empress Gu saw the steamed radish, steamed taro, and a pickle made of dried mustard greens in front of her, and she thought to herself: "Jingshu, do you eat these on weekdays? It's suitable for these two days Is this what you eat too?"

Heyi said from the side: "Royal Grandma, this steamed radish is delicious. It's sweet and pink, and the steamed taro is also delicious."

Empress Gu never thought that these would be food for people to eat. After all, her grooms when she was young all ate much better than this.

Seeing Empress Gu's expression, Meng Jingshu said, "Queen, actually, for ordinary people, it's very good to be able to eat this meal."

Empress Gu picked up a piece of steamed radish with her chopsticks, took a bite, and said helplessly, "In order to pray for my son, I just eat it. Is there sesame sesame oil? It's not greasy at all, but I can't eat it."

Meng Jingshu said, "No."
