Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 392 Meiniang Came to Thank You
Wang Pingan sighed and said: "Yes, I just have too little heart and too much sincerity! I wanted to help Mr. Xu, but my good intentions didn't help. He didn't want to make any military achievements, let alone leave the customs. I feel so sorry for him!"

Li Zhi curled his lips, and said: "I didn't have any impression of Xu Jingzong at first, but judging from today's events, this person has serious moral problems, and he cannot be trusted or reused!"

Wang Pingan nodded repeatedly and sighed.

After talking for a while, the two of them went out of the palace together to play. Li Zhi's body was not very good before, but recently, because of constant exercise, his body has become stronger and stronger. I like to walk around, wander around the city, and experience the sufferings of the people!

There was nothing to say during the day, and they had dinner outside the palace. Wang Pingan sent Li Zhi back to the East Palace, and he returned to the Inspiration Temple, took a bath and changed clothes, and looked at the spoils of the Ouyang brothers during this period, that is, the men they collected.

After a race meeting, Ouyang Li and others selected a group of strong men who could run the most, about 300 people, and collected a dozen or so from the ring in Furong Garden, planning to find some more to gather together. The number of four hundred is enough to form a regiment of soldiers, and the military salary will be paid by Zuo Wuwei to handle affairs. Of course, the soldiers will do it for Wang Ping'an!

Not all the newly recruited soldiers were in the temple, only 50 to [-] people were here. Wang Pingan encouraged them gently and asked them to practice martial arts, especially running. The fastest, only run faster.After some encouragement, everyone rewarded a few golden melon seeds!
Before it was dark, Wang Pingan quickly returned to the palace and went to the West Terrace to wait for Concubine Wu.

Before entering the palace, Ding Danruo and Ke Lianwu feared that he would be hungry at night, so they made a box of snacks for him to bring into the West Terrace.Wang Pingan made himself a pot of good tea, and waited for someone while eating snacks.

After dark, not long after, Concubine Wu came. She came tonight, but she was not as happy as in the past, with a little worry on her face.

Wang Ping'an closed the door, boiled medicine with her, and asked, "Sister, I feel uncomfortable seeing you, I don't know why, but what's wrong with you?"

Concubine Wu sighed, and said: "My lord, you are still young and don't know anything about palace affairs, but you can always hear about it. I have been trying my best to learn how to decoct medicine these few nights, but every time I send the medicine to Ganlu The hall was brought in by Chief Manager Shi himself, and then he directly asked me to go back to rest without saying anything!"

Her tone of voice was full of disappointment, and she couldn't figure out why she was so trusted, but she couldn't enter the Ganlu Hall to serve her bed.Of course she would not say that she has not been favored so far, but the meaning in her tone is obvious.

Wang Ping'an thought: "You don't want me to go to Shi Zhongchen's place and say something nice for you, do you?" Hearing Concubine Wu's words, he smiled and said, "Mr. Tired of you!"

Concubine Wu shook her head and said, "I guess not?"

Wang Pingan thought to himself: "Of course not! You, you have long been an abandoned child. Poor you haven't figured it out until now. If you want to change Wu Meiniang, you probably already understood it. Who told you not to make political investment in me early?" Well, who can blame now?"

Concubine Wu obviously had a much thinner skin than Wu Meiniang. It seemed that she really wanted Wang Pingan to say something nice in front of Shi Zhongchen, but she was too embarrassed to say so.But Wang Pingan didn't dare to open his mouth. He had no interest in Gong Dou, let alone the ability to influence anything, so he couldn't do anything other than make a fortune in silence.

The two of them had nothing to talk about, so they remained silent for a while. After the medicine was cooked, Concubine Wu left the West Terrace and returned to the Ganlu Hall.

Wang Pingan stayed in the room alone, thinking: "I don't know if Wu Meiniang will come tonight." He was looking forward to Wu Meiniang's arrival, but also a little afraid of her coming, feeling very conflicted.

After Concubine Wu left, about two quarters of an hour later, footsteps came from outside, and Wang Pingan immediately knew it was Wu Meiniang. She was used to hearing her footsteps and could already distinguish them.

Sure enough, the footsteps stopped when they reached the door, and Wu Meiniang whispered outside the door: "Uncle, have you ever rested?"

Wang Pingan hurriedly said: "Is it Mei Niang, come in quickly, why didn't you come last night?"

Wu Meiniang pushed the door and entered, still holding the charcoal bucket, she turned around and closed the door, came to the case, and said: "Uncle, I'm afraid that Meiniang won't be able to come to give you charcoal in the future."

Wang Pingan said: "Why?"

A smile suddenly appeared on Wu Meiniang's face, she put down the charcoal bucket, sat down, and said: "Uncle, Meiniang has been promoted to be in charge, and she is in charge of the palace maids, she is even more prestigious than being a talented person before."

Wang Pingan said with a smile, "Really, which palace do you work in? It can't be Ganlu Palace, right?"

Wu Meiniang smiled and said: "Of course it can't be Ganlu Palace, it's in Lixia Palace, a small palace in the east, separated from the East Palace by only one wall."

"Lixia Palace, is it very close to the East Palace? What kind of palace is that?" Wang Ping'an didn't know the layout of the palace.

Wu Meiniang said: "It's a small palace with only eight maids in it. Meiniang is in charge. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs!" To the east, separated by a wall, is the Lizheng Hall of the Eastern Palace!"

"Lizheng Hall?" Wang Pingan was taken aback. He didn't know about other palaces, but he knew about this one. Lizheng Hall is the bedroom of the East Palace, where Li Zhi lived.

Wu Meiniang nodded and smiled: "Yes, it is the Lizheng Hall. There is a large garden next to the Lixia Hall, which is full of peonies. When the flowers bloom, they are gorgeous and quiet. It is the best place in the entire palace. .”

"Are you going to be in charge of planting peonies from now on?" Wang Pingan frowned.Lixia Hall, Lizheng Hall, as soon as you hear the name, you know that these two halls are connected, or used to be connected.

Wu Meiniang hummed, and said: "There are no concubines or eunuchs living in Lixia Palace, only palace maids are there, so there is no one above Meiniang, so she is at ease."

Wang Pingan snorted and asked, "Did Uncle Shi agree to restore your talent?"

"No, we have to wait until the beginning of spring tomorrow, and when newcomers enter the palace, we can add titles together. It is estimated that Director Shi is trying not to attract the attention of others. After all, Mei Niang is a person who has fallen out of favor. She resumed her title for no reason. She is afraid that someone will gossip "Wu Meiniang said a little depressed.

Wang Pingan scratched his head and said: "Then you are not a concubine, so you can't serve the bed, and you are far away from the Ganlu Hall, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to get the emperor's favor!" He said this, but he thought in his heart: "But you are far away To get the favor of the prince, the day is not far away!"

Wu Meiniang's gloomy look disappeared again, and she said happily: "But at least until the talent's name is restored, there is no need to worry about it, and it has the final say, if the talent's name can really be restored next year, then Mei Niang is the lord of the first palace, although the Lixia Palace is small, it is still a palace, Director Shi promised Mei Niang!"

Wang Pingan nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good!" He sighed in his heart, it seems that the fate between her and Li Zhi is really destined by heaven, and there is no way to avoid it!Who knows what will happen next year?But this year, she will live next to the prince, only separated by a wall!
He was "happy" for Wu Meiniang for a moment, and then said: "When the peonies bloom, I wonder if His Royal Highness will go to enjoy the flowers?"

Wu Meiniang said: "Should be able to, His Highness the Crown Prince only needs to enter through the Phoenix Gate and walk along the wall, and he will be able to reach the Lixia Palace within a short distance." After a pause, she continued: "Meiniang is a little afraid of the Crown Prince. , the last time I saw him, the prince is so fierce!"

Speaking of the word "very fierce", she stuck out her tongue and said: "Fortunately, I told my uncle that if others hear Meiniang say that the crown prince is very fierce, they will inevitably file a complaint and even kill me!"

Wang Pingan said: "No, with me here, Uncle Shi won't make things difficult for you." Suddenly remembered, Concubine Wu said that it seemed that Shi Zhongchen had punished a group of people, and Director Shi was a little distorted, and seemed to like punishment very much. other people.

Wu Meiniang suddenly said: "Uncle, it is thanks to you that Meiniang can no longer suffer. If it weren't for you, I am afraid that I would still be waiting outside the Temple of Ganlu, worrying all day long. Uncle's kindness, Meiniang will always be in my heart. !"

Wang Ping'an cheered up and said with a smile: "My family, how can we talk about two families? I don't take care of you, let me take care of someone!"

Wu Meiniang was delighted when she heard Wang Ping'an said that she was close.The two talked for a while, and Wu Meiniang told Wang Ping'an about her family's situation, like her mother's life was not comfortable, and so on.

Wang Pingan immediately expressed his goodwill. After asking about the address of Wu Meiniang's family, he told Wu Meiniang that he was willing to bring Mrs. Yang to Chang'an so that their mother and daughter could meet each other. on his head.

Wu Meiniang was very grateful, she just felt that there was no one better than Wang Ping'an in the world, to take such care of such a helpless little maid like her.

Wang Ping'an said: "Meiniang, you have been promoted to the grand maid of the Lixia Palace, and it is not appropriate to come to me to give charcoal in the future. I will tell Uncle Shi that you will not be allowed to come in the future. You will be able to concentrate on planting peonies." .”

But Wu Meiniang said: "Meiniang is very happy to send charcoal to Uncle, I really hope to see Uncle every day." This is true, she is grateful to Wang Pingan now, and she is quite helpless report ideas.

The two talked for a while, then Wu Meiniang left the West Terrace and went back to Ganlu Hall. This is her last duty, and she will go to Lixia Hall from now on.

Silent all night.

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Jingzong came to Zhongshu Province to complete the formalities, led a team of government soldiers, and left the customs to the north.Wang Ping'an personally sent Xu Jingzong out of the city gate.

Before leaving, Wang Ping'an said: "Master Xu, please don't blame me. I really didn't know that things would turn out like this. If I knew, I would rather let you go than let me go!"

But Xu Jingzong said: "Your Majesty was joking. Yesterday, Master lost his composure and said some unpleasant things. Don't take it to heart!"

The two of you said one sentence, and I said one sentence, and they talked politely for a long time.At the end of the day, Xu Jingzong got on his horse and said to Wang Ping'an: "Your Majesty, if the affairs outside the customs are too difficult, then I will need your help!"

Wang Pingan said loudly: "Master Xu, don't worry, as long as I can help, if I, Wang Pingan, frown, I'm not a man!"

Xu Jingzong nodded and said: "It's good to have the words of the prince." He beat the horse and left Chang'an and rushed to the outside of the pass.
