The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 1050 Returning to the Palace (13)
Everyone shook their heads, Qingchen knew what Concubine Yi wanted to ask next, and was thinking about how to answer, when he heard a gentle voice say: "Poverty knows the imperial concubine."

"You?" Yipin looked at the Taoist nun who spoke with knife-like eyes, and saw that she was about 40 years old, with a peaceful demeanor and delicate eyebrows and eyes. If she was young, she could be considered a beauty, but it is a pity that the beauty is getting old with age. , it is inevitable that people will sigh.On the contrary, the monks don't care about common things and have a clean mind, and they have a bit of auspicious and charitable temperament.

Concubine Yi asked coldly: "Do you know the imperial concubine? Wait, since you said you know the imperial concubine, then I would like to ask the imperial concubine, do you know the priest?"

Apart from Miaohui, the female Taoist priest who spoke seemed to be the oldest among the group of people, and just now Miaohui said that she was not the abbot, so Qingchen guessed that she was probably the person in charge of Baiyun Temple, The Miao Qiong that Miaohui said in her mouth is gone.

Turning to look at the emperor, seeing that although Xiao Jun had been staring at the kneeling person, she seemed to feel her gaze, and nodded her head imperceptibly. It's really fate, I didn't expect to meet again so soon."

Qingchen secretly speculated that when he went to Baiyun Temple to take refuge, the emperor must have arranged for it, maybe this Taoist priest Miaoqiong had actually met him.But she didn't know what to say and didn't dare to say more, so she just said this vaguely.

Instead, Miao Qiong said softly: "Your Majesty said that a poor man sent you down the mountain yesterday. I never expected to see you again in this rich and honored place in the world. In the old days, your Majesty's plain clothes and skirts were as gentle and amiable as the girls next door , now that she has become an imperial concubine, but she is so dignified and noble, although the poor Taoist is surprised to see the appearance of the empress, it is not surprising."

Qingchen slightly relaxed her lips, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. The emperor had made arrangements in advance. Since Taoist Miaoqiong said so, she also felt relieved: "In the past, my palace prayed at Baiyun Temple, but it is inevitable that I still miss you. The emperor is eager and often sheds tears and restlessness. Thanks to Taoist Miaoqiong's kind words and persuasion, this palace is spared from many sorrows. The Taoist priest's great kindness is always in my heart. Repaying kindness is the foundation of being a human being. His Japanese palace must have Big report."

Miaoqiong saw that she was the kind of gentle and peaceful woman, and she didn't seem to ask for anything, but she just said indifferently: "Your Majesty, you are welcome, Your Majesty came to Baiyun Temple to pray, isn't it for the well-being of the people in the world? Poor Dao It is really an honor for the poor to be able to do something for the common people with the empress. Besides, apart from saying a few words of comfort, what the poor can do for the empress is really limited.

Qingchen pursed her lips lightly, and then said softly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, you see that Taoist Miaoqiong is so indifferent, so that the concubine doesn't know what to say. The concubine's meaning is not as good as the emperor's order to let you go." People rebuild the Baiyun Temple, and then reshape the golden body of the statue in the temple, so that the incense of the Baiyun Temple can be more vigorous, what do you think?"

Xiao Jun nodded and said: "You are very good, I will do it according to your wishes, and let Fuquan deliver the decree later."

A group of Taoist nuns in Baiyun Temple heard that, except for Miaohui and a few people around her, the rest of the faces were happy. With just one glance, Qingchen's heart was like a mirror, and she was sure that Miaohui had been bribed.

Concubine Yi saw that the emperor was ignoring everyone, and with a few simple words, she and the imperial concubine tacitly wanted to understand the matter, knowing that if she just let it go at this moment, she would have the same fate as Concubine Shu, so she said loudly: "Your Majesty Is the imperial concubine lying? Since the imperial concubine has lived in Baiyunguan for two years, why is it that only Miaoqiong knows her, while the rest say they have never met her? It can be seen that Miaoqiong must have taken advantage of the imperial concubine and is lying."

Miaoqiong said calmly: "Your Majesty, monks don't tell lies, what the poor Taoist said is the truth, probably this empress has misunderstood something, and then thinks that the poor Taoist is lying because he took the benefits of the imperial concubine. This empress patiently listens to Pindao's explanation."

"Okay, then I'll see what other tricks you can come up with." Yipin stared at her angrily, as if she wanted to peel her skin and cramp.

Miaoqiong said slowly: "At the beginning when the emperor sent the empress to Baiyun Temple to pray, he didn't intend to disturb the people, so he let the empress live with the poor Taoist on the cliff of repentance in the back mountain. In order to pray for blessings sincerely, the empress also served herself personally. The palace ladies were all sent back to the palace, and they worked with their own hands, sharing joys and sorrows with the poor, and it was precisely because of this that the gods were moved to bless us. Because the poor rarely go down the mountain, and those who repented of the cliff must have made a mistake The disciples will not go to that place, so the empress has lived in Baiyun Temple for two years, but it is not known to outsiders, which is why, except for the poor, no one else knows the empress."

"You're lying!" Yipin's sharp voice was full of reluctance, and she even started to panic, she pointed at Miaoqiong angrily and said, "Well, you Miaoqiong, how dare you lie and bully me in front of everyone?" Jun, do you think you can cover up the embarrassment of the imperial concubine by saying this? On the day the palace was broken, the imperial concubine was taken out of the palace by Murong Shaocheng. Don't tell this palace, you even know King Jing'an of Dayu, right? ?”

Concubine Yi knew that Miao Qiong was lying, but she couldn't find any flaws in her words. In her rage, she suddenly remembered what Concubine Xian said before, and suddenly asked with a strange smile: "Your Majesty, didn't Concubine Xian give the concubine Xian a gift before?" Did you go out with a lot of things? The imperial concubine also said that she received it. The concubine would like to ask, what color and material is the cloak that the imperial concubine received? Is the inkstone Duan inkstone, Tao inkstone or Chengni inkstone? They are all available, so the imperial concubine can always tell one or two of them, right?"

Qingchen went to see Miaoqiong, saw her shaking her head slightly, and then tapped Miaohui with her chin, then understood her meaning, and smiled to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the reason why the concubine said that Sister Ye gave it to the concubine The things I received were just for Sister Kuanye's heart. In fact, the concubine had never received those things. The concubine was not in Baiyun Temple, and Miao Hui didn't know that the concubine was praying in the back mountain. How about handing over the things to the concubine? The concubine guessed that those things might be in Miao Hui's hands now."

Miaohui had received many things before, and she came out of the palace, but the person who came didn't tell anyone, just dropped it and left, until someone found her and asked her to enter the palace to testify Only then did she realize that those things were all for the imperial concubine.It was only at that moment just now that she didn't understand why the person who delivered the things left the things without saying a word and left. They might have known that the imperial concubine was not in Baiyun Temple, and those things were just for show.

More importantly, at critical times, these things can also be used as evidence that the imperial concubine is not in Baiyun Temple.If it wasn't for what Miao Qiong said just now to help the imperial concubine, then the imperial concubine said that she had received the item but could not tell the details. Wouldn't it be contradictory and prove that she was lying?
