Chapter 937 Nangong Xuanyu was cheated
"What did you say?!"
Ruoli's eyes suddenly widened, and disbelief was written all over them!
His Majesty flipped over Concubine Kang's name card tonight. Although it was beyond her expectations, when she thought about it carefully... it seemed reasonable.
She waved casually at the young eunuch and walked into the inner room irritably.
Although Concubine Zhuang didn't say anything, from the fact that she took a bath and changed her clothes tonight and deliberately put on a simple yet elegant dress, Ruoli knew that she was also waiting for His Majesty.
At this moment, Ruoli's face looked very ugly.
There was no one else in the inner room, so she spoke more boldly: "Your Majesty, I thought that His Majesty turned over the card of Concubine Chen tonight. Concubine Chen is so favored, and His Majesty favors the Fourth Prince, so it is normal for her to go to Zhongcui Palace."
"But I never expected that His Majesty would go to Chuxiu Palace tonight!"
"In my opinion, Concubine Kang clearly took advantage of your favor to see Your Majesty during the day, and then missed your chance at night!"
"If you had known that she was so restless, you should have taken care of her when she lived in Shangxiang Palace!"
Concubine Zhuang's hand holding the Buddhist beads tightened slightly.
She was silent for a while, then she said softly to Ruoli, "When I came back from the Yangxin Palace today, didn't I tell you that it's not up to me to decide whose name His Majesty wants to turn over."
"Sister Kangpin is also your Majesty's woman. Why can't your Majesty favor her? Don't say such things again in the future."
Ruoli replied "yes" unwillingly, still looking somewhat indignant.
……
July twenty-second.
Zhongcui Palace.
Fuqiu stood beside Shen Zhinian and said, "Your Highness, tomorrow is your canonization ceremony. His Majesty arranged for the monks from Fatu Temple to come to the palace to pray for blessings a long time ago."
Handan smiled and said, "That's great!"
"Once the monk has finished praying, all the bad influences of the past will disappear. Let's see who dares to bring up the accident that happened at the last canonization ceremony!"
There are many monks responsible for praying, but there is only one person who presides over this matter.
Shen Zhinian asked curiously, "Do you know which eminent monk will preside over this prayer?"
Xiao Mingzi said with a smile: "My lady, I know it's Master Xingchen!"
"Master Xingchen is not only a master of profound Buddhist teachings, but also young and handsome! Because of his outstanding appearance, many noble women in the royal family are his followers!"
"Fatuo Temple is a royal temple, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. Despite this, many people still admire Master Xingchen very much."
"The Fatu Temple arranged for him to preside over the blessing ceremony this time, which shows that they care deeply about the Empress' affairs!"
Hearing this name, Shen Zhinian always has a familiar feeling.
She thought about it carefully and finally remembered something about Master Xingchen. She was stunned...
There is no other reason.
In the previous life, Master Xingchen’s “legendary” life aroused the curiosity of many people.
When Shen Zhinian knew this person, Lu Jianglin had already risen step by step in the officialdom. At that time, Master Xingchen became the most proud disciple of the abbot of Fatu Temple, and had countless followers in the royal family, the government, and the people.
Every time he preaches, the streets are packed with people!
There were even many noble ladies who were deeply attracted by Master Xingchen's appearance and unique temperament and could not extricate themselves from him...
Everyone said that Master Xingchen would be the next abbot of Fatu Temple.
However, no one expected that Master Xingchen would not only fail to inherit the position, but also end up angering the emperor and being torn into pieces by five horses...
Fatu Temple was a royal temple that held an important position in the Great Zhou Dynasty and was deeply respected by emperors of all dynasties.
Logically speaking, the emperor should be polite to his favorite disciple. It is impossible for him to execute Master Xingchen, who had countless followers, for no reason, and in such a tragic way.
However, until Shen Zhinian died in a landslide last time, no one knew why Master Xingchen had offended Nangong Xuanyu and was torn into pieces by him.
At first, when the news of Master Xingchen's death spread, his followers made a lot of noise, hoping to know why His Majesty did this.
But the results are all in vain...
However, after Shen Zhinian became a first-rank imperial lady and entered the most upper-class circle of noble ladies in the capital, and even interacted with many royal relatives, she did hear a few gossips...
The reason why the emperor insisted on executing Master Xingchen by being torn apart by five horses, regardless of the consequences of doing so, was because Master Xingchen often entered the palace on behalf of Fatu Temple to perform some blessing activities.
After a while, he actually had an affair with a palace concubine, and even got her pregnant and gave birth to an illegitimate child...
That is why the emperor was so furious after the incident!
Of course, these speculations were just gossips, without any evidence, and Shen Zhinian didn't know whether they were true or not. He also didn't know who the palace concubine who was said to have an affair with Master Xingchen was.
"Miss?"
Handan blinked her eyes and asked curiously, "What are you thinking about? Why are you so lost in thought?"
Shen Zhinian finally came back to his senses.
Thinking of what she had heard in her previous life, her expression could not help but become a little subtle...
Shen Zhinian couldn't even imagine what would happen if Nangong Xuanyu was really cuckolded...
If that thing is true, among these women in the palace, who is the one who had an affair with Master Xingchen?
Shen Zhinian immediately became interested and said to Handan, "Please dress up for me. It's time for me to get ready."
After all, the purpose of this prayer is to eliminate the negative impact caused by the last enthronement ceremony. As the person involved, Shen Zhinian naturally has to be present.
Handan said, "Yes."
Because of the special occasion today, she chose a solemn palace dress for Shen Zhinian, and then carefully put on makeup to cover up the charm that inadvertently revealed on Shen Zhinian's face, making her temperament look a lot more stable.
After Handan finished dressing up, Xiao Mingzi couldn't help but ask, "Why do I feel that after your majesty is dressed up like this, you actually look a bit like Concubine Zhuang?"
Handan was immediately unhappy: "Xiao Mingzi, can you speak?"
"Our queen is as beautiful as a fairy, how can she be compared to Concubine Zhuang, who looks old at such a young age?"
Xiao Mingzi quickly slapped his own mouth: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, it was my fault! It was my fault!"
Shen Zhinian didn't argue with him and said, "Go and try my sedan chair."
"Slave, you obey!"
The place for this prayer is Yuhua Pavilion, which is quite far from Zhongcui Palace.
Shen Zhinian sat in the sedan chair and headed towards the destination.
In the previous life, why the emperor was so angry and the bizarre cause of Master Xingchen’s death caused a sensation in the capital for a long time.
Although Shen Zhinian had heard of his name, he had never seen him.
This made her a little curious today. If the gossip in the previous life was true, what kind of appearance did Master Xingchen have that made him look like an exiled immortal? He actually made the concubine willing to risk the death of her entire clan to have an affair with him and give birth to his child.
