Chapter 788 Become the Queen's Substitute

Queen Wang was so angry that her teeth were itchy. When Wang Ping'an came to see her as promised, she said to Wang Ping'an: "Brother, the emperor agreed to come to my sister's place yesterday, but he didn't. I heard that he went to Xiao Huli's place again. The emperor's words and words are so good, how can he not keep his word?"

Wang Ping'an sighed, "Sister, please calm down. The emperor may not really like Xiao Fox. Maybe he went to see the little prince. By the way, sister, you also ask the eldest son to study more, be obedient and behave better, so that the emperor will love him, and naturally he will see you more often."

Queen Wang also sighed and said, "Li Zhong is a little bit tidy. If you want to behave properly, there is nothing wrong with it, but you won't act coquettish and pleasing, so the emperor has never paid much attention to him."

Wang Ping'an shook his head and said, "Then there is nothing to do. If you want to kill Fox Xiao, relying solely on your sister as a hunter is not enough. You have to use external forces!"

Queen Wang said, "Yes, let's go out of the city now. Go to Ganye Temple. I want to take a good look at how cute the little nun who looks like Wu Meiniang is. She can actually snatch the emperor from Xiao Fox."

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said, "I didn't snatch it away. The emperor was just greedy for the freshness. Once the freshness passed, I guess the emperor didn't even want her to sweep the floor."

"I hope so. When she defeats Xiao Fox, as long as the emperor stops watching her fresh, I will send her to sweep the floor with her sister. It is okay to use this kind of person, but it is inappropriate to keep it for a long time. By the way, she is not a nun. After she falls out of favor, I will build a Buddhist temple for her next to the cold palace, that is, where Xiao Fox is staying, and let her recite scriptures. It is worthy of her." Queen Wang said, with a little pride on her face.

Wang Ping'an grinned and thought to himself: "The plan is quite long-term. It would be fine to throw Concubine Xiao Shu into the cold palace. Even you have arranged the place where Wu Meiniang recites scriptures in the future. You are really like Fahai. You found a Leifeng Pagoda for White Snake to press it."

The two left the palace, but did not leave Xuanwu Gate, left the palace from Anli Gate, and went to Ganye Temple.

When the queen was traveling, she naturally hurried and hugged her carriages and horses. Wang Ping'an rode on the Bailong horse and followed the convoy for a few miles. He went to the side of Queen Wang's carriage, knocked on the window, and said, "Sister, I'll call you a front stand and let that little nun be ready. How are you?"

Queen Wang opened the car window, thought for a while, shook her head and said, "Don't do this. If you go, brother and the little nun is ready, my sister will not be able to see her true nature. We suddenly went there and called her to see her, and caught her off guard. Only in this way can we see what kind of person she is!"

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Sister is thinking carefully, it's my younger brother who is reckless. OK, then let's catch her off guard!"

He thought to himself: "It seems that Queen Wang can't be considered a complete fool, she is still a little smart! Well, that's right. If she had no mind at all, then she wouldn't have brought Wu Meiniang into the palace in history. In terms of the battle against Concubine Xiao Shu, she was indeed a winner. She really defeated Concubine Xiao Shu. However, after defeating Concubine Xiao Shu, she had to continue with Wu Meiniang. In the battle, Wu Meiniang paid a heavy price to defeat her. Fortunately, I have raised Xiao Taiping now, otherwise I would have become a victim of their palace battle."

When he thought of Xiao Taiping, he immediately disliked Queen Wang. The adults failed and died in order to fight for favor. That was called self-bearing, but the child was killed. This was called a sin! The women who were engaged in the palace fighting, the eldest sister, let alone the second sister, were all the same, and they were not very good!

The convoy did not walk slowly, and after a while, he arrived outside Ganye Temple.

A little eunuch had already come up and knocked on the door, saying that the queen was coming and she wanted to see the host Lao Ni! The host Lao Ni received the notice and was so scared that she was so scared that she was so unfavorable. Could it be that the years in the temple were unfavorable this year? Why are the big figures coming one after another? Usually, one person didn't necessarily come a year, but this time, they came in line!

The host, the old nun, did not dare to neglect, and took a few of his elder disciples to go out of the temple to greet him, and welcomed Empress Wang and Wang Ping'an into the temple.

Instead of going directly into the main hall, I went to a side hall in the backyard, which is a room used in the temple to entertain distinguished guests.

After entering the house and sitting down, Queen Wang said, "Master Master, I am here today to pray for the emperor. I also made a vow in front of the throne of gods and Buddhas. Now that I have achieved my wish, I will come to fulfill my vows. Is there any ritual required? Or do you want to do a ritual for me?"

The host, Old Ni, thought to himself: "It's not that simple. If you are here to pray for blessings and fulfill your wishes, why don't you send someone to notify me in advance? And it was accompanied by Prince Wang. Prince Wang did not do good things. As the prime minister, he didn't go to the yamen to work, but he always ran to our temple. I don't know who he liked, and he came so diligently!"

She complained in her stomach, but she didn't dare to say it out loud. She just said, "If you just want to fulfill your wish, you don't need to do rituals. If you want to pray for blessings, you don't need to do rituals. But you have to show your sincerity. It is best to copy Buddhist scriptures and burn them in front of the throne of gods and Buddhas. This is the best. Nowadays, I do this for worshiping Buddhist disciples!"

Wang Ping'an was funny when he heard this. Could it be that there is a trend to worship Buddha? Well, maybe copying Buddhist scriptures can show sincerity. Many good men and women in later generations did this. Maybe they may also believe in Buddhism in the future and copy Buddhist scriptures in volumes!

Queen Wang frowned and said, "Copying Buddhist scriptures? This... I am very willing to copy them, but I am afraid that there will be too many things. I will leave after a while and I cannot copy them all in one breath. Wouldn't that make me feel in a bad mood!"

She came here just by worshiping Buddha as an excuse, not really praying for blessings and fulfilling her wishes. She asked her to copy Buddhist scriptures, but she was a little reluctant, for fear of wasting time.

The host, Old Ni, hurriedly said: "The Empress misunderstood. She did not ask you to copy Buddhist scriptures in the temple, nor did she copy them once. To show her sincerity, some pilgrims used blood instead of ink to copy Buddhist scriptures, so naturally they could not copy them in one day."

Queen Wang and Wang Ping'an both said in surprise: "How many times do you need to copy it with blood instead of ink?"

Queen Wang was in a hurry to cram the Buddha's feet. She didn't really come to copy the scriptures. She was not a person who sincerely worshiped the Buddha. She refused to let her use blood to replace ink. Not to mention pricking blood, she refused to even copy the scriptures with ink!

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "This is really a touching act, but the Empress...is there any other way to do this?"

The host, Old Ni said: "If blood is not used to replace ink, of course it is possible. As long as the heart is sincere, the gods and Buddhas will protect themselves. However, if you can copy the scriptures a thousand times with ink, that is the best!"

She glanced at Queen Wang, and saw that Queen Wang looked unhappy, and quickly said, "The Queen was able to copy it back to the palace. As long as she is sincere, where is the world not in front of the throne of gods and Buddhas?"

Queen Wang said, "I'm just afraid of copying and stopping, so I can't finish it in one go. That's not good. I'm busy with things!"

The host, Old Ni, thought for a while, came up with an idea and said, "If you find a substitute and copy it for the Queen, it is OK. Many people in Beijing are like this, but you need to be careful when looking for a substitute."

She looked at Wang Ping'an and felt a little gloating. It would be better to let this Wang Xiangye be your substitute and let him copy the scriptures until he was dizzy. That would be better, so that he would always come to the temple and mess with us!

Wang Ping'an didn't guess the old nun's thoughts. He remembered that Wei Xiaobao was the substitute of Emperor Kangxi, who became a monk in Shaolin Temple. Why not let Wu Meiniang be a substitute for Queen Wang? In this way, Queen Wang would have a normal reason to "cultivate" her!

Wang Ping'an said: "It's good to find a substitute! By the way, I see that there is a master named Kong in your temple. He is the best person and has a good character. If you ask her to be a substitute for the Empress, that would be the best!"

When Queen Wang heard his suggestion, she became happy immediately. She was worried about why she called Lekong. If she called a little nun directly to see her, it seemed too conspicuous. Now that Wang Ping'an has said the reason for a substitute, wouldn't it be natural?

She said, "Lekong? Is there such a monk in the temple? I'll ask her to come, and I want to see her!"

The host, Old Ni, felt a numb scalp, why is it that Likong again? Anything that has something to do with Likong is definitely not a good thing. I really shouldn’t have taken her in for money at the beginning, and there were so many troubles!

The host, Old Ni, quickly agreed and sent someone to call Wu Meiniang.

Wu Meiniang had known that Queen Wang had long been. Although she didn't know what the specific plan was, she vaguely predicted in her heart that Queen Wang's arrival was probably related to her. While she was guessing, someone came to her and asked her to see Queen Wang.

With a nervous mood, Wu Meiniang came to see Queen Wang. She pretended to have never seen the world before. After entering the house, she looked around in a daze, at a loss, and could not even be able to treat her!

Wang Ping'an said to Queen Wang: "She is the master of Kong Shi Tai. She is very honest and even a little muscular." He said to Wu Meiniang: "High your head up and don't turn your neck back and forth, let the Queen take a good look at you."

The first impression of Queen Wang when she saw Wu Meiniang was not her appearance, but that she felt that this woman was good. She was not a thorny head at first glance, and she should be easy to mercenary. For her, whether this little nun is easy to mercenary, as for whether she looks like Wu Meiniang... Anyway, the emperor is looking for freshness, that's all.

Wu Meiniang straightened her head and her neck straight, standing in front of Queen Wang, asking the other party to look at her well, but she thought to herself, wouldn't she really recognize me, right?

Queen Wang had no specific concept of what Wu Meiniang looked like in the past, and she didn't pay special attention to it. Besides, there are no photos these days, so she can compare it. After a long time, she has long forgotten what Wu Meiniang looks like.

Queen Wang glanced at Wu Meiniang a few times, turned her head to Wang Ping'an and said, "I don't look like that, why do you say she looks like that?"
