Three Saint Temple was a place in the Imperial City of Yue Country where concubines who had fallen out of favor and old palace maids ate vegetarian food and cultivated. Usually, outsiders rarely visited.
However, on this day, not only did the palace maids and eunuchs surround the Three Saint Temple, but many guards also came. Even Ouyang Yongrong's trusted aide, the Great Sima Zhu Qi, who had never entered the inner court under imperial orders, also came with his guards.
Not long after, Ouyang Yongrong arrived at the Three Saint Temple surrounded by the crowd.
When he saw Ouyang's graceful appearance, Zhu Qi quickly bowed and greeted him." Your Majesty."”
Ouyang Yongrong nodded solemnly. Where's Consort Jin?"
"The Empress is inside and is still clamoring to see the King.”
As expected, Ouyang Yongrong heard Consort Jin's half-crying and half-laughing voice from the Three Saint Temple!!
"I want to see the king, I want to see the king! If you don't let me see the king, I'll kill this slut first!”
Hearing this, Ouyang Yongrong's brows, which were already unable to relax, furrowed even more." Move aside, I'll go in and take a look!"”
"Your Majesty, you can't take the risk!" Zhu Qi quickly stopped him. Let me go in and take a look first.”
Ouyang Yongrong waved her hand. Other than me, Consort Jin doesn't know anyone. If you go in, you will undoubtedly harm Consort Yi's life.”
Ouyang Yongrong pushed the crowd aside and stepped into the Three Saint Temple.
The moment they entered the Three Saint Temple, they heard Yi Fei's bright and beautiful voice, which was the panicked cry of Reverend Yu 'in!!
"What are you doing? Let me go, let me go!"
"No, I won't let go of you! I'm going to kill you! His Majesty said that as long as I kill you, he will return to my side, so I will listen to His Majesty and kill you. I will kill you, hahaha!”
Consort Jin's shrill and crazy laughter made Ouyang Yongrong's hair stand on end. He could not help but shout,""Stop! Susu!"
Seeing Ouyang's grace, Consort Jin Han Susu's pale and crazy face was filled with surprise." Your Majesty, I finally see you. I thought I would never see you again. I…"
"Susu, you wanted to see me?" Ouyang Yongrong asked in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Han Susu nodded and said. I want to see you. I want to see you every day, but they won't let me see you. They even locked me up in a very dark place. They beat me, scolded me, and didn't give me anything to eat. Yes, it's her. She asked people to beat me, scold me, not give me anything to eat, and not let me see you. So I want to kill her so that I can see you every day! I want to kill her, hehe, I want to kill her!”
Han Susu exerted a bit of force and the knife immediately cut a shallow bloody mark on Ming Mei's neck. Blood immediately seeped out.
Ming Mei was so scared that her face turned pale and she collapsed to the ground." Your Majesty, save me, save me!”
Ouyang Yongrong's handsome face darkened." Susu, don't be like this. Didn't you want to see me?”
Han Susu nodded." Yes, I want to see you. I really want to see you."”
"You've already seen me, so you have to let go of Ming Mei.”
"Let go of Ming Mei?" Han Susu repeated. She looked a little flustered." No, I can't let her go. She's a bad woman. She killed Xiao Zhen. I can't let her go. I want to kill her!"”
Ouyang Yongrong shook her head." Susu, you're wrong. Little Zhen isn't dead. Little Zhen is looking for you everywhere!"”
Han Susu raised her head as if she was confused." Little Zhen is looking for me?”
"Yes, look at the person behind me.”
Ouyang Yongrong took a step back and saw a palace maid standing at the door with a little girl about three or four years old.
"Mother, Little Zhen is hungry. Little Zhen wants to eat Guoguo!" The little girl called out timidly.”
Han Susu's eyes widened. She immediately abandoned Ming Mei and ran forward to pick up the girl." Xiao Zhen, Xiao Zhen!”
Ouyang Yongrong saw that she could not miss this opportunity and gave Zhu Qi a look. A few eunuchs suddenly surrounded Han Susu. Some hurriedly carried the little girl away, while others took out ropes to tie Han Susu up.
Han Susu kicked, hit, screamed, and cried at everyone. Her beautiful face was filled with anger, madness, and tears." Give me back Xiao Zhen! Give me back Xiao Zhen!" You're bad people. You took Little Zhen away. Give Little Zhen back to me. Give Little Zhen back to me!”
Ouyang Yongrong's heart clenched. She turned her head away and said," Take her away. Remember to take good care of her. Don't let her escape again, understand?"”
"Yes."
As soon as Han Susu was kidnapped, Ming Mei immediately pounced on her and threw herself into Ouyang Yongrong's arms. Her entire body trembled." Your Majesty, you scared me to death. If you had arrived here a step later, I might have lost my life!"”
Ouyang Yongrong hugged Ming Mei and waved at the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards behind her, signaling them to leave.
"Are you alright? Should we call the imperial physician over to take a look?"
Ming Mei, who was still in shock, gently stroked the knife mark on her neck." No! ChenQie is fine, this little injury won't be a problem, ChenQie…"
Before she could finish, Ming Mei's legs went soft. If Ouyang Yongrong hadn't hugged her, she would have collapsed to the ground.
Ouyang Yongrong carried her to the bed and put her down while saying,""It's better to call the Imperial Physician over.”
Ming Mei stretched out her arm and hugged Ouyang Yongrong." Don't, don't go. ChenQie only needs to look at Your Majesty. ChenQie only needs to look at Your Majesty and it won't hurt anymore. Please grant ChenQie's little wish, okay?"”
Ouyang Yongrong looked troubled." But your injuries…"
"Your Majesty, ChenQie only has this little wish. Could it be that Your Majesty is not willing to fulfill it?”
Ouyang Yongrong sighed and sat down on the couch.
Ming Mei snuggled into Ouyang Yong Rong's arms," ChenQie thought that in this life, I would never see the King again."”
"I'm in the palace. You can come whenever you want to see me!”
" I can see you at any time, Your Majesty, but I can only see you as the Immortal Yu 'in. It's better for me not to see you. I, I…" Ming Mei began to sob as she spoke. Her hands were still tightly hugging Ouyang Yongrong." I really don't want to be the Immortal Yu' in. I'd rather be a little imperial maid to serve Your Majesty than stay here alone." Your Majesty, let ChenQie return to the palace to serve you, alright?”
Ouyang Yongrong's sharp brows furrowed. She gently pushed Ming Mei away and stood up." Mei 'er, this is not a matter of whether or not we return to the palace. It's the Empress Dowager…"
"I know that the Empress Dowager hates me, so she ordered me to cultivate in the Three Saint Temple. But what about the king? Does His Majesty hate me too?"
"I…"
"Your Majesty, I heard that Her Majesty the Queen has returned, right?”
At the mention of Chu Dieyi, Ouyang Yongrong's lips unconsciously curled into a faint smile, but his tone was still the same as usual." Why are you asking this?”
"Does His Majesty like her? I heard that she was kidnapped during the Empress Conferring Ceremony and was personally found by His Majesty. You were even seriously injured while looking for her. ChenQie thought, if the king didn't like her very much, why would he personally go to find her? At most, we can send someone…"
Ouyang Yongrong's eyes suddenly flashed. He interrupted her," Mei 'er, how did you know that I was injured? Who told you that?"
Ming Mei was stunned for a moment before she stammered,"ChenQie, ChenQie heard it from the people in the palace. Because, because His Majesty never returned, and even Imperial Brother came from the far West Qin to visit, so everyone is guessing whether His Majesty was injured or had an accident. Otherwise, how could he…"
"Is that so?" Ouyang Yongrong snorted and wanted to get up and leave.
Ming Mei quickly pulled him back." Is His Majesty leaving? Why don't you stay a little longer? A few days ago, someone gave me some Laojun Eyebrows. Your Majesty, do you want to try it?”
"No, I still have things to do!"
"Since I'm so thoughtful, why don't Brother Rong stay and have a taste? Besides, the Laojun eyebrow was a rare treasure. It had been treated as a tribute for generations. Ordinary people could not even beg for it, and there was no place to buy it even if they had money. The enlightened person Yu 'in had spent a lot of effort to get some. How could Brother Rong let her down?”
A sweet voice suddenly sounded at the door. A graceful figure rolled in like the wind and threw herself into Ouyang Yongrong's arms. She looked up and asked sweetly,"Brother Rong, let's stay and drink, okay?”
Ouyang Yongrong was a little surprised." Die 'er, you, why are you here?”
Chu Dieyi pulled Ouyang Yongrong and said coquettishly and shamelessly,"Alright! Die 'er had heard of Laojunmei tea a long time ago, but she never had the fortune to drink it. Die' er felt very regretful! Brother Rong, since this 'granny' has helped you keep your Laojun eyebrows, you can try it! This way, Die 'er could also bask in the light and broaden her horizons!”
Ouyang Yongrong almost choked on her own saliva!
Granny? This girl actually called Granny Ming Mei? Was she trying to anger Ming Mei to death?
Ming Mei was just as Ouyang Yongrong had expected. She was so angry that her eyebrows stood up, but because Ouyang Yongrong was present, she couldn't flare up. He could only wave his horsetail whisk and force out a smile." Your Majesty, this is…"
Chu Dieyi answered before Ouyang Yongrong could,""I'm Brother Rong's wife. Brother Rong said that I'm a queen, but I really don't want to be a queen. I just want to be Brother Rong's wife and give birth to a few little princes and princesses for Brother Rong.”
This left one sentence Rong elder brother, right one sentence queen; The first word 'wife' and the second word 'little prince' and 'little princess' were obviously mocking Ming Mei for getting old and being forced to become a Taoist nun. She could neither become Ouyang Yongrong's concubine nor give birth to a son or daughter for Ouyang Yongrong.
Ming Mei's face turned ashen when she heard this. Her body swayed and she was about to die on the spot. At least Ming Mei was well-trained. She, who was scheming, suppressed this anger.
She picked up her horsetail whisk and waved it at Chu Dieyi." Greetings, Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live a thousand years, a thousand years!”
Chu Die Yi smiled sweetly." Reverend Yu 'in, don't say that. If you really live for thousands of years, then Die' er will become an undying old witch!”
The moment she called Chu Dieyi " old witch ", Ming Mei's face turned pale again. Ouyang Yongrong hurriedly pulled Chu Dieyi's hand." Die 'er!”
Chu Dieyi ignored him!
She smiled as she held Ouyang Yongrong's hand and sat down on the futon." Perfected One, is Old Junmei done?" Die 'er was so thirsty that she couldn't wait to drink!”
Ming Mei nodded stiffly." Men, serve tea."”
A few little Daoist nuns immediately brought tea to Ouyang Yongrong and Chu Dieyi.
Ming Mei personally brought the teacup to Ouyang Yongrong." Your Majesty, please have some tea."”
Then, he passed it to Chu Dieyi." Empress, please have some tea."”
However, perhaps the tea was too hot or for some reason, Chu Dieyi did not receive it properly. Her hand slipped and the entire cup of tea fell on Ming Mei's body. Ming Mei immediately cried out,"It hurts!"
Seeing this, Chu Dieyi immediately pretended to be very flustered. She hurriedly jumped up and picked up a black cloth to help Ming Mei wipe her clothes. Immediately, Ming Mei's white Taoist robe was stained with stains. She did not forget to say,"I'm really sorry for dirtying your clothes. I'll wipe them for you now. Not good, what was wrong with this handkerchief? It was most likely stained with ink or black charcoal. The more he wiped it, the dirtier it became. Immortal, wait a moment. I'll call someone over immediately. Men, come quickly!"
A few palace maids rushed in." Your Majesty!”
Chu Dieyi pointed at Ming Mei, who was already so angry that her face was crooked, and said,"Quickly help Reverend Yu 'in change her clothes. Also, call the imperial physician over to see if Reverend Yu' in has been scalded.”
"Yes, Empress." A few palace maids immediately came forward and tried to help Ming Mei change her clothes.
Ming Mei shouted angrily and anxiously,"Don't come over, don't come over, my king, my king!"”
At this moment, Chu Dieyi's bell-like voice traveled into Ming Mei's ears from afar!!
"Perfected Yu 'in is a cultivator. When Perfected Yu' in changed clothes, His Majesty should have left, so His Majesty and I left first, lest the Empress Dowager blame us for causing Perfected Yu 'in to violate the rules.”
A few words of praise and criticism, mocking Ming Mei for not abiding by the rules, made Ming Mei so angry that her entire body trembled. With a thud, she fell to the ground and actually fainted.
As for Chu Dieyi, when the palace maids surrounded Ming Mei, she took the opportunity to pull Ouyang Yongrong away and disappeared!……
"Who is that old witch and ugly freak?”Chu Dieyi angrily sat on the shore and kicked the water with her bare feet.
Ouyang Yongrong was stunned." Old witch? Ugly freak? Die 'er, you mean…"
Chu Dieyi turned around, her face red with anger and her watery eyes burning with jealousy." I'm talking about that old nun! Who was she? Why did you abandon me and run away the moment you heard that something had happened to her?”
Ouyang Yongrong couldn't help but laugh and shook her head repeatedly." Die 'er, the old Daoist nun you're talking about is Mei' er.”
"What Mei Er?" Chu Die Yi shouted fiercely. She should at least have a name. She couldn't just be called Mei 'er, right?”
"Her name is Ming Mei, she's, she's one of my concubines.”
Chu Dieyi looked at him and said sourly,""Concubine? Was there such a thing in the world to confer a concubine before a queen? And she's a Daoist nun!"
Ouyang Yongrong was thinking about how to say this so that the little girl wouldn't get jealous. Because from her actions just now, she was really jealous!
Seeing that Ouyang Yong Rong was silent, Chu Dieyi continued,""Then, who is that crazy woman called Consort Jin? Could she be your concubine? Looking at her, she seemed to have gone crazy because her child was killed, right?”
Ouyang Yongrong sighed softly." Since things have come to this, I don't want to hide it from you. In fact, Ming Mei was originally my queen, but because the Empress Dowager suspected that she had caused Little Zhen's death, she was demoted to Yi Concubine in a fit of anger, and then from Yi Concubine to a palace maid. In the end, she was ordered to cultivate in Three Saint Temple and never be a concubine again.”
"Little Zhen?"
"Little Zhen was Consort Jin's child. He fell into the water and died when he was four years old. After Little Zhen died, Consort Jin went crazy because she couldn't take the blow.”
"Is that why you found someone to pretend to be Xiao Zhen?”
"That's right, because she doesn't know anyone. She only knows me and Little Zhen. In order to save Ming Mei, she had no choice but to do this.”
"Brother Rong, do you love her very much?"
"Are you talking about Consort Jin?" Ouyang Yongrong's eyes were filled with pain." It would be a lie to say that I never loved her. After all, she was once my concubine and gave birth to a daughter for me. But so what? She's already crazy, and she's so crazy that she can't recognize anyone. Sometimes, she doesn't even recognize me. I..."
"Then, what about that old witch? Do you love her?"
At the mention of Ming Mei, Ouyang Yongrong's face darkened slightly." Her? She was married for me by Imperial Father. I have never loved her. Perhaps it is because of this that she is so vicious to Consort Jin.”
Ouyang Yongrong suddenly held Chu Dieyi's hand and said seriously,""Die 'er, you're the only one I have left. For your safety, I hope you can promise me that you won't come to Three Saint Temple as much as possible and don't have anything to do with Ming Mei. Stay as far away from her as you can. I don't want Consort Jin's incident to happen again, understand?”
Chu Dieyi threw herself into Ouyang Yongrong's arms and hugged him tightly." I know. I won't let that old witch's trick succeed." It's fine if she doesn't provoke me, but if she dares to provoke me, I'll set fire to her Three Saint Temple and roast her into a fox. I'll see how she will harm people in the future!”
Ouyang Yongrong couldn't help but laugh. She reached out and tapped her forehead." You! She's just naughty."
She tiptoed and took the initiative to peck Ouyang Yongrong's full lips. Her hands were even mischievously wrapped around his neck." Brother Rong, don't worry! Die 'er will give birth to a bunch of little princes and little princesses for you, so that you won't only have one Xiao Zhen, but also many children to keep you company. This way, you won't be alone anymore.”
Ouyang Yongrong's eyes widened. Wouldn't that make him…a pig?
He remembered that his elder brother Ouyang Che had once said that he wanted to be a pig emperor and his sister-in-law Tantai Mingji would be a pig queen. The two of them would have a bunch of pig sons and pig daughters. Now, it seemed that he would inevitably become a pig king. As for the pig queen, it would be this girl!
But…but with Consort Jin and Little Zhen's matter before him, he really didn't have the mood to think about the child. Moreover, was his body…really healed?
He did not know! He did not want to know either! He only knew that he should not give this little girl too much hope, nor should he give her the chance to fantasize or dream. Otherwise, when she faced the cruel reality, she would not be able to accept it. That was the outcome he was most unwilling to see.
"Die 'er, I don't need you to bear a bunch of children for me. If I really want a child, there are many women waiting in line outside the palace. All I want is you, the complete you, the pure, innocent, passionate, and cute you. If I have a child, then the you I have will be incomplete, do you know that?”
"But I really want to give birth to your child!”
"I know, but I didn't marry you to have a child for me.”
"But a couple has to have children, right?”"Brother Rong, don't you like children?" Chu Dieyi protested. Or do you not like Die 'er to bear your child? Otherwise, why would you…"
Ouyang Yongrong's expression changed slightly." No, how could that be? How could I not like children? I just don't want you to be tied up by the child so early. I want you to spend more time with me.”
"I can accompany you after giving birth!”
"That's different. I like the current you.”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:1024201810:46AM
