Reborn as King again

From the beginning of the year, the Queen Mother saw that Queen Zhou Ling's position was considered secure, so she gradually delegated authority to him so that he could get familiar with the things in the palace. , to take care of the affairs of the harem, and at the beginning of autumn, the queen mother simply handed over the phoenix seal to Zhou Ling, and she was happy to be at leisure.

The queen mother and her elders are old, and she doesn't want to fight any more, she likes to be lively, and often invites a few conversable wives into the palace to chat.The queen mother didn't have so many things to do recently, so she had a lot of leisure time, and those imperial wives often told the queen mother anecdotes and strange things outside the palace, which won the queen mother a smile.Several times I went to the Compassionate Ning Palace to pay my respects, and I saw a few old ladies in their fifties gathered there, talking about all kinds of gossip, Madam Madam, when she saw me coming, she was very reserved and dared not say anything. The queen mother thought I was in the way, so she drove me out of the Compassionate Ning Palace as soon as I finished greeting me.

One day, several old ladies gathered again in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and started gossiping with the queen mother. A royal wife, Mrs. Ren, told the queen a strange thing.

Recently, a Taoist priest came to Ganye Temple, the most popular temple in the capital. His name was Ban Rixian. He set up a stall to write fortune-telling for people. The son met a girl, and the concubine would not marry her. The cousin of the Ren family had met that girl before. She was quite a sign, and she was dignified and virtuous. Before getting married, the elders would usually use the birth horoscope of the newcomer to find a fortune teller. After doing the math, for peace of mind, the cousin of the Ren family took the horoscope of her son's favorite person to the Ban Rixian to do the math, and the Ban Ri Xian persuaded the cousin of the Ren family not to marry that girl after reading the girl's horoscope. In fact, the girl's fate is not bad, but she is in conflict with the son of the cousin of Ren's family. If she gets married, she will have to do something for nothing within three months.The cousin of the Ren family didn't want her son to marry that girl as soon as she heard it, but the son was so infatuated that he knelt down in front of the cousin of the Ren family every day to beg his mother to help her. The cousin of the Ren family was also a soft-hearted person, so she agreed to the marriage.Later, after the girl entered the house, within half a month, the father-in-law of the cousin of the Ren family suddenly became seriously ill and died directly. A month later, the daughter married by the cousin of the Ren family also died of dystocia in her husband's house. Sad.

In just a few months, the cousin of the Ren family was hit one after another, and finally she went to Ganye Temple to seek help from Ban Ri Xian in desperation.Seeing that the cousin of the Ren family was haggard and looked like this, he couldn't help being surprised and said: "Madam, will you really let your son marry that girl?" The cousin of the Ren family also thought that she had fulfilled her son's wish back then, Marry that broom star to pass through the house, and then immediately sweep the new wife out after returning home, but what's the use of this, a good family just fell apart like this.

After listening to Mrs. Ren's narration, the queen mother only listened to it as a joke, and said: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are not under the control of people. Is it because your cousin was hit too hard to believe the words of the charlatan?"

Huo Shi, the servant's wife, exclaimed in surprise: "Your Majesty, there are some things you have to believe."

The queen mother was happy: "What? Could it be that you also asked that Ban Rixian to tell your fortune?"

"The concubine has never looked for it, but the concubine has a niece who has looked for it." Huo said wickedly: "Don't tell me, it is because the concubine's niece was able to escape for a while after looking for a half-day fairy to tell her fortune." robbery."

Didn't the ladies get together just to gossip, they hurriedly urged Mrs. Huo to tell the details of what was going on.

Mrs. Huo glanced at her mother, who also looked like she was listening to stories, so she said boldly: "My niece is the concubine of my brother's family. Because my mother's background is too low, she can only marry a small businessman in the end. , but the young couple had a happy life. When my niece went to Ganye Temple to worship Guanyin a few months ago, she asked that Ban Rixian to make a fortune, calculating whether she would be able to live forever with her niece and son-in-law. The fairy said that as long as there will be a catastrophe on June [-]th, as long as I escape that catastrophe, my niece's married life will be perfect in the future, with a full house of children and grandchildren.

After the niece returned home, she was told that her husband-in-law was going to deliver a batch of goods to Nanzhou in person, and it would take two months to go back and forth. The niece calculated the time, and her husband-in-law happened to be on the way to deliver the goods on June [-]th?The more my niece thought about it, the more disturbed she became, and she advised my niece and son-in-law not to deliver the goods, but my niece and husband refused to listen. Later, my niece went to the pharmacist and prescribed some medicine to make her weak. Fortunately, my niece and son-in-law are the ones who love their daughter-in-law. When they saw that their niece fell ill, they didn't go to deliver the goods. Instead, they sent the shop assistants to deliver them, and stayed to take care of them.Later, the delivery caravan encountered bandits who robbed the goods on the way. In the end, the goods were robbed, and the delivery people were killed or injured.

Now that I think about it, whether it was what Ban Rixian mentioned earlier, my niece and son-in-law were killed by bandits long ago, I think Ban Rixian is really very effective. "

Seeing that Huo's words were so mysterious, the queen mother couldn't help being interested in it: "Is it really so accurate? The theory of fortune telling is all lies."

Ren smiled and said: "Oh, Empress Dowager, someone who reads Feng Shui can lie to you for ten or eight years, but for half a day, what the fairy calculates is only recent events. We women are not able to help our sons and husbands in their careers. So I can only pray for a Buddha, count my fate, block evil spirits, and pray for peace of mind."

The queen mother chatted with those imperial wives all afternoon about the half-day fairy, and she couldn't help but believe it a little bit. She asked someone to inform me that night, saying that she wanted to go to the Ganye Temple to worship the Bodhisattva tomorrow morning. I didn't think much about it, my mother believed in Buddhism when she was older, she thought it was because of the strong incense in Ganye Temple, and she thought it would be more effective to go there to worship Guanyin, so I waved my hand and sent a few more guards to become servants, and followed It is to be protected by the mother's side.

On the morning of the second day, the queen mother happily dressed up as an old lady from a rich family and took her personal maid. A group of people went to the Ganye Temple in a mighty way, and saw Ban Rixian. The Ban Rixian didn't know the identity of the mother. Calculating the family's fortunetelling was also a calculation for the queen mother, but the final result made the queen mother so angry that she almost smashed Ban Rixian's stall.

When I had just finished lunch at Qianlong Palace and was about to take a nap, Wanfu came to report that it was Lanmei who asked to see me.

I was still wondering, didn't Lan Mei accompany her mother to the Ganye Temple to worship Bodhisattva early this morning? Why did she come back so early, so I let Lan Mei come in to talk.

When Lan Mei walked into the main hall of Qianlong Palace, her complexion was obviously very bad, and she rushed to me before she came to change her palace clothes.

"What's the matter?" I said.

After Lan Mei greeted me, she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager...the empress dowager is in a very bad mood, and she is losing her temper in the Palace of Compassion and Ning. You should go and have a look."

"Didn't the mother go to Ganye Temple? Why are you so angry?"

Lan Mei is the confidant I arranged by my mother's side. She must know everything. When I asked such a question, Lan Mei knelt on the ground and faltered: "The empress dowager's visit to Guanyin is just a name. In fact, she went to the famous Ban Rixian in the capital to tell her fortune, and the result was..."

I smiled and said, "What? Did you figure out my fortune?"

"No, no" Lan Mei quickly denied, she said: "It has nothing to do with you, the emperor, it's just that Ban Rixian said...that the sixth prince was reincarnated by a murderer, and because he didn't know the identity of the empress dowager, he said some outrageous things. Made the empress dowager angry."

After I heard it, I found it strange, how could it be said that Li Ji was reincarnated by a murderer, someone must be making trouble again, I said: "Lan Mei, tell me carefully what's going on."

It turned out that the Empress Dowager pretended to be an ordinary old lady and sat in Ban Rixian's booth, begging her to settle the affairs of the family.Ban Rixian asked the queen mother to take out the birthday horoscopes of the men directly in the family, and then counted them one by one.Originally, Ban Rixian said good things, such as longevity, success, and great achievements, and the queen mother felt happy when she heard it, but when Ban Rixian saw Li Ji's horoscope, his expression was not worried, and he just shook his head and said no. good.

The queen mother asked anxiously: "This is my sixth grandson. He is a smart person. Could it be that he is destined to die?"

"Whether there is a catastrophe in the fate, I can't tell the poor way," Ban Rixian told the truth: "But this young master has evil spirit in his life, and this evil spirit cannot be resisted by ordinary people."

"What do you mean?" The empress mother's face turned ugly immediately, the royal children must be protected by the gods, how could there be evil spirits!

Ban Rixian didn't notice the murderous look in the empress mother's eyes. Since she heard someone ask, she naturally wanted to explain clearly: "This young master wore a red dress in his previous life, committed suicide, turned into a ghost, reincarnated and wanted revenge, and he didn't take revenge. I will not give up, based on your grandson's fortune-telling, at least you will kill your brothers and sisters, slaughter all those who are loyal to your family, and at worst, you will destroy your father and mother, and destroy your entire family." Ban Rixian paused, and opened the fan in his hand , and whispered in the queen mother's ear: "If there is no such young master, your family must be in good times and good times. It seems that the temperament of the old lady should come from a famous family. For the sake of your entire family, you should give this young master to..." Saying, Ban Rixian stretched out his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"Nonsense!" Someone actually instigated her to kill her grandson!How can this be!The queen mother slapped Ban Rixian's fortune-telling table hard, and almost turned it over: "Ji'er has been sensible since he was a child, and is very filial. How could he be a murderer! You, a stinky Taoist priest, are talking nonsense!"

That Ban Rixian often encountered this kind of situation. He said some "truth" and made the fortune-tellers yell at him. You regret it."

"You..." The empress mother has been respected for so many years, how could she bear Ban Rixian's sarcastic remarks, she clutched her heart and was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Lan Mei has been serving her mother since she was a child, so she knew that her mother was so angry that she felt distressed, so she hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and scolded: "Stinky Taoist priest, shut up quickly! You want to piss off our old lady!"

Of course, Ban Rixian didn't know that he had offended the most honorable woman of the Datong Dynasty, but he was still a little complacent and said: "Everyone in the world knows that loyal words are harsh, but they still like to listen to good ones. The poor are just persuading the truth. The old lady is only angry now, and she will regret it in the future." For the sake of you and your children and grandchildren, will you still..."

"Shut your mouth for Aijia!" The queen mother was so angry that she forgot to cover up her identity, pointed at Ban Rixian and cursed: "You should curse Aijia's family for ruin! Aijia will let your family be ruined first! Aijia must Kill your nine clans!"

"Old madam!" Lan Mei was speechless after seeing her mother, and whispered in her ear, "This is the Ganye Temple, and many people are watching it, so please don't reveal your identity here."

It's a pity that Lan Mei's persuasion was too late. The queen mother said "sorry for the family" and "judged your nine clans" one by one. Everyone knew who the lady in front of her was.

The Immortal Ban Ri's complexion immediately collapsed, and he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. More and more people were watching, and they all came to join in the fun to see what happened. Outsiders saw the joke.

So the queen mother went back to the palace in such a rage, back to the palace of compassion and peace, she saw something fell, and asked Lan Mei to call me, Lan Mei didn't dare to delay for a moment, so she hurried to Qianlong Palace to find me.
