Wu Meiniang and Shangguan Wan'er walked out of the lobby.Master Jinghui saw Wu Meiniang's peaceful expression with joy, so she was relieved.

Wu Meiniang walked up to Mrs. Jinghui and said, "These two children are messing around more than the other. These days are causing troubles for Mrs. Jinghui."

Master Jinghui clasped her hands together and bowed to salute: "I don't dare to be. The princess and Wan'er are sensitive and intelligent. It is an honor for this temple to entertain them."

Wu Meiniang nodded, then turned to Princess Taiping and said, "Taiping, where is the person who entrusted you to deliver the prescription a few days ago? Take me to see him."

Princess Taiping ran forward and grabbed Wu Meiniang's sleeve: "Mother, did his prescription cure Father's blindness?"

Wu Meiniang nodded: "Your father can already distinguish the figure."

Princess Taiping's joy was beyond words: "Ah, that's really great. Mother, you must reward that master."

Wu Meiniang hummed and said, "Where did you see him, take me there to have a look."

Princess Taiping led the way beamingly.Wu Meiniang turned around to motion for Shangguan Wan'er to come over, and pulled her forward.

Everyone followed Princess Taiping to the backyard.A man with a black cloth covering his face was standing in the courtyard, as if waiting for them.

Wu Meiniang said, "You are Ming Qingyuan?" Along the way, Master Jinghui explained clearly the background of this person and why he lived in Ganye Temple too early.

Ming and Qing were neither humble nor overbearing: "It is the poor monk."

Wu Meiniang looked at him for a while and said, "The emperor's eyes have improved a lot. What reward do you want?"

Ming Qingyuan shook his head: "Everything is belongings outside the body. The poor monk only has one thing to offer to the empress." After finishing speaking, he took out a piece of silk from his sleeve and presented it to Wu Meiniang with both hands.

A court lady had already stepped forward, took the silk cloth, and presented it to her.Wu Meiniang opened it and saw that there was a word "赵" written in cursive script on it.Wu Meiniang frowned: "What word is this?"

Ming and Qingyuan said in a clear voice: "Zhao. The sun is yang, which symbolizes warmth and brilliance. The moon is yin, which shows nobility and Qinghua. I dreamed that they were running in the sky at the same time last night. This incredible beauty tells me that after a few years Finally, a beautiful woman will create a marvelous and magnificent human miracle that even nature cannot match. She will use this symbol bestowed by heaven as her own name, and she will take this name to rank among the great emperors of all generations. Enjoy the admiration of the world for thousands of years."

After these rebellious and shocking remarks were finished, the surroundings were silent, and everyone was so shocked that they could not recover for a long time.Wu Meiniang was speechless for a long time, and finally turned around and left.Shangguan Wan'er followed behind, but secretly turned to look at Ming Qingyuan, and found that he was still staring at Wu Meiniang's back.

On the same day, Wu Meiniang returned to the Li Palace.Before leaving, Wu Meiniang specially called Princess Taiping aside, and said: "Taiping, Wan'er is younger than you, she doesn't understand anything, you have to take care of her like a sister, don't let her go astray, understand?"

Princess Taiping pouted: "It's all my mother's fault that you let the teacher lock the door and prevent us from going out. We spend all day with these nuns, so it's not surprising that Wan'er wants to become a monk."

Wu Meiniang was thoughtful, and finally said: "Okay, I will tell the teacher that you are allowed to go out every three days. But outside, you have to take good care of Wan'er, she has never been out of the palace, and she will not talk to people outside the palace. dealing with people."

Princess Taiping smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother. I won't lose her."

At night, Princess Taiping remembered the person she met when she was out of the palace last time, and when she heard Shangguan Wan'er tossing and turning beside her, she couldn't fall asleep, so she called her softly: "Wan'er, come with me to see Ming Qingyuan."

This proposal was exactly what Shangguan Wan'er wanted, but she didn't know why Princess Taiping went to see Ming Qingyuan.

"Then Ming Qingyuan said that he can predict the future. Do you still remember the person I met in West Market that I told you about? I want to ask him if I can see that person again."

The two got up, put on their clothes, and quietly came to the backyard.Ming Qingyuan sat alone on the ridge of the roof, his black hair fluttering in the wind.In the blink of an eye, Ming Qingyuan was already standing in front of them, "I don't know why the two girls visited late at night, why?"

Princess Taiping suddenly felt embarrassed: "Master, do you still remember the person I told you about last time? I wonder if I can see him again."

Ming Qingyuan laughed and said, "Not only will you meet again, but he will also fall in love with you."

Princess Taiping's eyes were full of joy, but she became shy belatedly, she turned around and pulled Shangguan Wan'er up to leave.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Wan'er said: "I also have something to ask, I don't know if Master is willing to solve Wan'er's doubts."

Ming Qingyuan nodded: "Miss Shangguan, but it's okay to say."

Shangguan Wan'er calmed down her heartbeat, and tried to calm her voice: "The master said today that the sun and the moon are in the sky, and Wan'er knows the sun, so what about the moon?"

Ming Qingyuan's eyes suddenly sharpened, staring at Shangguan Wan'er.Shangguan Wan'er looked back at him without moving.

"She has not only the wisdom and courage of a man, but also the kindness and wisdom of a woman. The so-called sun and moon are in the sky, and she is just one person." After a long silence, Ming Qingyuan spoke.

After hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er was half disappointed and half relieved.At least, no one else.

In the following days, Shangguan Wan'er no longer read the scriptures with the nuns, nor went to the city with Princess Taiping, but only read and wrote in her own room.Later, I heard Princess Taiping say with a smile like a flower that she met that person again and asked his name.Afterwards, I saw her holding on to that mask every day and not letting go.

It seems that Ming Qingyuan can predict the future.Then, the so-called sun and moon are in the sky, really just saying that the Queen of Heaven is alone.Shangguan Wan'er stood silently in front of the window, lost in thought.

Just after January, someone from Li Palace came to pick them up.It turned out that the emperor and empress decided to hold an unprecedented big party to celebrate the good harvest.Li's clan relatives from all over Kyushu have already gathered in Li Palace.

The person who came to pick them up was Prince Li Xian.A heroic man in bright armor. "Taiping, Father ordered me to pick you up."

Princess Taiping picked up Shangguan Wan'er who was kneeling on the ground to salute: "That's great. I also miss my father and queen mother. Brother Xian, this is my good friend, Shangguan Wan'er."

Li Xian turned his head to look at Shangguan Wan'er who was bowing his head in silence, and nodded: "My mother also specifically told me to take Miss Shangguan back. It's not too late, let's go on our way."

Li Xian specially prepared a carriage for Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er, but Princess Taiping felt that the carriage was stuffy, so she asked Li Xian to find a horse for her to ride on.The two brothers and sisters were talking and laughing while riding horses.Shangguan Wan'er sat alone in the carriage, closing her eyes and reciting the poems she read a few days ago to relieve her boredom.

Seven days later, everyone came to Li Palace.Shangguan Wan'er was arranged to live with Princess Taiping.On the night of arriving at the Li Palace, Princess Taiping went to see the emperor and empress.After returning, she mysteriously pulled Shangguan Wan'er aside; "Mother has promised to find that person for me as soon as I return to Chang'an, and also promised me to let him be my son-in-law."

It really was the jewel in her palm that she cared for in every possible way.Respond to every request.As for myself, while saying that I am different from others, I am indifferent to myself.fraud.Shangguan Wan'er smiled and congratulated Princess Taiping, but her heart was full of hatred.

A few days later, the emperor held a banquet for his ministers in Xianheng Hall.When the wine was hot, the emperor enthusiastically proposed a couplet of poems.All the ministers naturally echoed.Just like this, one sentence per person, the emperor, King Huo, the Queen of Heaven, the prince, passed on every sentence until Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping thought for a moment, then stuck out her tongue: "I can't sing. Empress, let Wan'er do it for me." Princess Taiping looked at Wu Meiniang, Wu Meiniang laughed and nodded.

Emperor Li Zhi ordered the internal supervisor to move the table, set up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote the poems chanted by the previous people.After Shangguan Wan'er went to the palace, Li Zhi ordered her to write down the poems on the paper.Shangguan Wan'er looked at the princes and ministers sitting behind the food table, and at the emperor and empress who were sitting at the top drinking happily, her heart grew increasingly angry.After taking the pen, I didn't think about it, and just danced on the paper.After writing, she looked up at Wu Meiniang who was watching her, and quietly stepped aside.

The servant took a look at the manuscript, was shocked, glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, and presented it to the emperor solemnly.Li Zhi took it over and took a look, his expression immediately turned bad.Wu Meiniang hurriedly leaned over her head, her scalp became numb when she saw it.The paper is full of cynicism.Seeing that the emperor was about to get angry, Wu Meiniang hurriedly tugged at his sleeve: "This Shangguan Wan'er is Shangguan Yi's granddaughter. You also know that Shangguan Yi, Shangguan Wan'er is exactly the same as him. Besides, she is only 14 years old. Ye Ting grew up and didn't understand the etiquette in the palace. Don't bother with her, Your Majesty. I'll go down and say she is."

Li Zhi didn't expect Wu Meiniang to be so protective of Shangguanyi's granddaughter, so he agreed: "Okay, then listen to Meiniang. It's just that Shangguan Wan'er is really bold and full of nonsense, so Meiniang doesn't have to be soft-hearted. "

Seeing the emperor and queen whispering to each other, everyone guessed how well this Shangguan Wan'er could write.Wu Meiniang said, "Wan'er, come here."

When Shangguan Wan'er came to the front, Wu Meiniang stuffed the poem manuscript into her sleeve, got up and pulled her to the back, leaving behind even more bewildered officials.
