Back to the early Tang Dynasty to be a fairy

Chapter 45 That Child Is Really Too Poor
In the residence of Princess Pingyang in Yongchangfang, Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning put on a military uniform, which is rare, and sat on the bed in the side hall, with a cold face, and her eyes swept over the window in the corner of the side hall from time to time, slender. His white jade fingers tapped on the armrest impatiently, and he was still muttering something softly.

It was almost the middle of You Shi, a middle-aged man with a slightly fatter figure walked quickly to the side hall, and knocked lightly on the door with his hand.

After hearing the knock on the door, Princess Pingyang slightly raised her voice and gave an order.

"Come in!"

As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged man pushed open the door and walked in with a bow.

"Third lady, I have already found out the matter."

Li Xiuning straightened her back, let herself sit up straight, and said in a low voice.

"Say!"

"The Taoist priest Her Royal Highness Linhai mentioned yesterday is Qingwei, the disciple of Master Xuancheng."

The middle-aged man quickly said what Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning cared about most in a slightly hasty tone, and then said in a slightly slower tone. "And he did set up a stall in front of the Zhuangyan Temple during this time..."

"Set up a stall?"

The brows on Li Xiuning's face, Princess of Pingyang's, were slightly erected, appearing calm and majestic. "I remember, didn't he succeed Xuancheng as the head of the Qingdu temple? How did he get reduced to the point where he needed to set up a stall in front of the monk's temple for fortune-telling?"

"According to what I found, it should be that Qingdu Temple is almost out of money now..."

Although the middle-aged man seemed a little embarrassed, he still answered honestly.

"In the past four or five years, the incense in the Qingdu Temple has not been very good. In addition, Master Xuancheng doesn't have much savings. In the past two years, it seems that they can't even spend the money to repair the Taoist temple."

"how can that be?"

Li Xiuning's eyebrows were completely frowned, and a puzzled expression appeared on her face. "I remember that the incense in Qingdu temple has always been good?"

"this matter……"

The middle-aged man said with some hesitation. "I don't know."

Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning lowered her head, and her two sharp eyes shot directly at the middle-aged man standing below.Years of understanding allowed her to quickly discern the current situation of her housekeeper.

"Sixi, do you not know, or do you know but don't want to tell, and want to deceive me?"

"This one……"

When the middle-aged man was still hesitating, he heard Li Xiuning speak lightly.

"It seems that I can't command you anymore, that's right, you, Ma Sixi, the princess mansion, is no longer my Li Xiuning, but the court order..."

thump!
After hearing Li Xiuning's words, the middle-aged man Ma Sixi fell to his knees with a plop.

"San Niangzi sees it clearly. Ever since San Niangzi took in my homeless brother and me, I, Ma Sixi, swear to God that I will be willing to be a lackey of San Niangzi's family in this life. I will be loyal to you!"

"Then what are you still doing?"

Li Xiuning's finger tapping on the handrail stopped, and she let out a loud drink.

"Say!"

"Yes!"

After Ma Sixi agreed with sincerity and trepidation, he said in a low voice.

"This matter is the son-in-law's captain, Lieutenant Chai..."

"Don't mention that name..."

A look of disgust flashed in Li Xiuning's eyes.

"When you have to mention him in the future, just say Huo Guogong."

"Yes!"

Ma Sixi agreed again, and then said.

"It's Huo Guogong. After he knew the truth about your escape from Daxing City, my lady, he has been deliberately suppressing Qingduguan and Xuancheng. He specifically said that who dares to have contacts with Qingduguan He wants someone who looks good."

boom!
Li Xiuning slapped the armrest of the bed with a heavy palm, and her voice was trembling.

"Chai Shao, how dare he..."

At this moment, in Ma Sixi's eyes, the angry Princess Pingyang seemed to have become the heroic and heroic commander of the Women's Army in the military tent.And he is no longer the current Princess Mansion Order, but the little Sui Cui who stood in the corner of the military tent with his brother Ma Sanbao back then.

"And you..."

Li Xiuning's eyes swept across Ma Sixi's body like a sharp sword.

"This kind of thing happened, and you didn't even tell me, Sixi, I think you are a bit of a concubine as a princess, why don't you go to Huo Guogong's mansion as an errand?"

boom!
Ma Sixi knocked his head to the ground, his whole body pressed against the ground, trembling slightly.

"This subordinate has no second thoughts towards Her Highness the Princess. If Her Highness doesn't believe in Sixi, please ask the third lady to give me the sword. Sixi is willing to die to prove her innocence."

He lay prone on the ground like this, not daring to lift his head. After a while, he heard the cold voice of the third lady Li Xiuning.

"Okay, then you, a loyal minister, will explain why you still dare to hide it from me after Chai Shao said this? If I didn't force you to ask you today, wouldn't you plan to tell me? "

"Report to the Commander,"

Before he knew it, Ma Sixi had changed the name of Li Xiuning to the word that impressed him the most.

"Because the sage knew about this matter back then, he was afraid that you would have another conflict with Huo Guogong because of this matter, so he specially found someone to send a message to the servant, ordering the servant to hide this matter, and absolutely not let you know."

"Aye told you to hide it, but do you really dare to hide it from me?"

Although Li Xiuning spoke in a calm tone, it sounded like thunder in Ma Sixi's ears.

boom!
He slammed his head on the ground again, his forehead was bruised and purple.

"The servant is determined not to hide anything from the third lady, so the servant decided that as long as the third lady asks you, the servant will know everything, but during that time you were depressed, you didn't see many guests, and you never asked the servant about this matter. so……"

"I see!"

Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning closed her eyes and tried her best to calm down.

"In other words, after Xuancheng's death, the Qingdu Temple is about to collapse, right?"

"It's not good anyway..."

Ma Sixi prostrated herself on the ground and said cautiously.

"Half a year ago, Qingwei started to set up a stall to sell divination in order to make money. At first, he placed it in the East and West cities, but he didn't seem to make any money. Later, for some reason, he set up his divination stall in the In front of Xingshan Temple..."

"You don't need to ask why. Of course, there are many people asking God for divination in front of the monk's temple..."

Li Xiuning closed her eyes silently, and a cute chubby little Taoist face of Yuxue immediately appeared in front of her eyes.

She gritted her teeth and said with a complicated mood.

"It's hard for him. He has to do such a thing at a young age. He must have been bullied by the monks of Xingshan Temple. It's really pitiful!"

Ma Sixi was taken aback for a moment, not knowing how to answer this question.

That's right, according to his investigation, it was true that someone was being bullied a lot.

Because there were no monks in Xingshan Temple, the monks in the temple were beaten up one by one by a little Taoist priest. In the end, all the hexagram booths of an arrogant Taoist priest were placed outside the front hall of Xingshan Temple. Xingshan Temple The monks didn't dare to take care of it, and they walked around in and out of the front hall of the temple.

It's so pitiful!

"Not long ago, it was just in time for the Zhuangyan Temple to hold the Buddha's Birthday Ceremony, and many people gathered, so..."

Following Ma Sixi's description, a chubby and cute little Taoist priest stretched out his hand at the gate of the Zhuangyan Temple before the eyes of Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang, with a pitiful expression of cuteness... of divination.

"It's probably because Qingwei's business of selling divination is so good that the monks in Zhuangyan Temple can't stand it anymore..."

Ma Sixi knelt on the ground and stated truthfully.

"So today they ordered Gao Shugui, a ranger from the south of the city, to make trouble at Qingwei's stall and took Qingwei out, as if they wanted to use some bad means..."

Snapped!
The hand of Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning patted the armrest of the bed again.

"Damn it, what do these bastard monks in Zhuangyan Temple want to do, and what about Gao Shugui... don't they know who is standing behind Qingdu Temple?"

"Maybe they really don't know..."

Ma Sixi replied honestly.

"Third lady, you also know that Master Xuancheng is not a person who likes to boast and conceited. Even Chai... Huo Guogong didn't ask you for help when he said that he wanted to embarrass them, so he certainly won't promote anything .”

Li Xiuning slowly closed her eyes, and nodded after a while.

"You're right, Sixi, my friend Xuancheng is indeed such a person, but..."

Li Xiuning opened her eyes again, and the silence and laziness of this period had been swept away from her face.

"But Xuancheng is Xuancheng, and I, Li Xiuning, am Li Xiuning. He doesn't need to beg me, but I can't just sit and watch his apprentice being bullied by others. Chai Shao... Huo Guogong, I will follow him slowly." Settle the bill, but these other bastards..."

Snapped!
A golden sign was thrown in front of Ma Sixi by Li Xiuning.

"Sixi, take my token and tell Monk Faya, the abbot of Zhuangyan Temple, to behave a little better for me. If Qingwei does anything else in front of his temple gate during the Buddhist meeting, Don't blame this princess for not giving Mr. Pei Ji or Mr. Pei any face, and calculate with them how they sent monk soldiers to help the army of the Sui Dynasty to encircle and suppress me."

"Yes!"

Ma Sixi knelt on the ground, held up the gold medal in front of him with both hands, and respectfully agreed.

"Besides, go find me Shi Wanbao again..."

Li Xiuning said in a deep voice with disgust in his eyes.

"Let's just say that my third lady of the Li family asked you to ask him, this Daxing hero, if he can't control these Chang'an rangers after he became an official. If he can't control it, I will transfer a battalion of troops from the Detachment of Women. , take care of him yourself."

"understand!"

"Go down!"

"Yes!"

After watching Ma Sixi exit the side hall respectfully holding his badge, Li Xiuning took a deep breath, and leaned angrily on the back of the bed.

Dimly, a handsome figure with three long beards appeared in front of her eyes.

"Don't worry, my friend Xuancheng, I will take good care of your disciple..."
