Chapter 13 Huici
Lingyin Temple.
A young monk in a light gray monk's robe that was washed a little white hurriedly walked from the outside to the guest hall of the Zen temple.Abbot Huici was sitting on the futon, closing his eyes and knocking on the wooden fish, chanting scriptures with a slow and heavy voice.
The little monk stood outside the door and hesitated for a while, then walked into the threshold and knelt on the wooden floor and said softly, "Abbot, there is a letter from the palace."
Huici paused for a moment as he tapped Muyu's hand, and he slowly opened his eyes, which were calm and calm.He put down the wooden fish stick, stared at the bronze statue of Amitabha holding a lotus in front of him, and asked quietly, "Did the messenger leave a message?"
"The sender only said the word 'Yuan'." The little monk pushed the exquisitely carved wooden box under Huici's body.
When Hui Ci heard the word 'Yuan', her hands on her lap froze for a moment.He stared sideways at the wooden box under his feet and sighed.
"You go down."
"Yes." The little monk nodded, stood up and left lightly.
Huici held the wooden box with sandalwood in both hands, stroking the patterns carved on the box with her slender fingers, her eyes deep.He put down the wooden box, reached out to take the wooden fish in front of him, and opened the long square box with the wooden fish on it. Inside the box was a small and exquisite key lying quietly.
Huici took out the key, picked up the wooden box, and moved her fingers to the golden lock in front of the box, only to hear a light click, and a crack was opened at the port.
There was only a letter in the box, and there was a withered hibiscus flower on the letter.
When Huici saw what was in the box, her hands trembled slightly, her eyes were heavy and sad.
"Childhood sweethearts and Yi, Hong Gai exalted me. Lianqing burst into tears, and Yaotao will move elsewhere."
Hui Ci sighed quietly, closed her eyes and opened them again, the grief and indignation in her eyes had been concealed.He reached out to take the letter in the box, unfolded it, and looked slowly.After reading all of them, Huici's face was already gloomy.
"Fate, fate."
Hui Ci shook her head, grabbed the letter and put it on the incense stick, the bright red flames swayed on the white paper, just a moment later, the letter in Hui Ci's hand had been burned to ashes.
Cining Palace.
Concubine Yuan stood in front of the window, her eyes slowly moved from the cornices and green tiles outside the window, pavilions and pavilions to three or two sparrows on the hibiscus tree with brown upper body, yellowish-gray lower body skin, and a complete gray-white collar on the back of the neck.
Eunuch Baode came from the corridor, he waved to the maids guarding the door, and the maids bowed and left.He walked behind Concubine Yuan, just stood there quietly with his head down.
"Baode, do you think this hibiscus flower is blooming beautifully?" Concubine Yuan didn't turn her head, her eyes still fell on the sparrows on the branch.There are two sparrows that are very close, and their heads touch each other from time to time, looking very close.
Baode stepped forward and looked up at the bright red hibiscus tree in full bloom outside the window, and said with a smile: "My lady, the hibiscus tree you planted yourself is growing very well."
"Bao De, what you said is really a coincidence." Concubine Yuan turned around and looked at Eunuch Baode with a smile.
Baode bent over and said with a smile: "The little one just hopes that the empress will be happier."
"Bao De, you have a sweet mouth, isn't it good?" Concubine Yuan took a silk fan embroidered with peonies and covered her mouth with a smile.
Baode raised his hand and patted his mouth lightly a few times, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is right, this mouth really deserves to be slapped."
"Okay, okay." Concubine Yuan waved her round fan persistently at him, her eyes grew darker, the smile on her face disappeared, she stared at Baode seriously, and asked, "Has that thing been delivered yet?"
Baode nodded with a smile, and said: "Your Majesty, I told you to remember, and I asked the people around you to go to Lingyin Temple quietly."
"Your Majesty, where is he now?" Concubine Yuan Noble nodded, gently shaking her silk fan and asked.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is probably still in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."
Concubine Yuan stood up after hearing this, and Baode hurried forward to help her hand.
"Let the Imperial Dining Room prepare some ginseng soup, and I will go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation now."
"Yes."
Baode sent a message to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and asked the people in the imperial dining room to quickly make a cup of ginseng soup, and then helped Concubine Yuan out of the Palace of Compassion.
Now is the time for the emperor of Zhu Song to know his destiny. Since boarding the plane, he has been dissolute and incompetent.However, the important government affairs of the country cannot be handled properly and in a timely manner with only the queen and the prince, and the seeds of corruption have been buried in it. Let's not mention it for now.
Feng Shengquan, the chief eunuch guarding outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, saw Concubine Yuan approaching, bent over with a smile, and said sideways: "Good luck, Your Majesty is waiting for you inside."
Concubine Yuan Gui nodded to him and said with a smile, "Thank you, Eunuch Feng."
Feng Shengquan smiled: "Your Majesty, let's go in quickly."
Concubine Yuan took the tray from Baode behind her, and Feng Shengquan opened a door for her. Concubine Yuan smiled at him and walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation with the things.
After Feng Shengquan waited for her to enter, he slowly closed the door, Baode bowed and stood on the other side of him, waiting for Concubine Yuan.
Feng Shengquan squinted his eyes at Baode. In this palace, Concubine Yuan was able to go from a beautiful girl to today, and to be favored by the emperor, she must have a set of means.Having been with Emperor Zhu Song for so long, Feng Shengquan has seen too many people and things, and now the only one who can catch his eyes is Yuan Guifei.Although the queen empress is also excellent, but when it comes to ruthlessness, she is not as good as this noble concubine Yuan.Moreover, this concubine Yuan is accompanied by a father-in-law who is very good at observing words and expressions.
If Concubine Yuan has ideas, I'm afraid there is nothing in this palace that she can't get.Although the women in the palace are not as good as Concubine Yuan, they are not stupid, and of course they can see Concubine Yuan's impatience.However, this noble concubine Yuan was extremely intelligent, and she directly cut off the life of having children when she was good at calculating the humble and weak.
A noble concubine who cannot give birth to the emperor is useless no matter how capable she is.
Feng Shengquan was different from what those empresses thought, a woman who was decisive and ruthless and would not let her go, was also extremely smart, as long as she thought about it, many things would become impossible to deliberate in the future.
Concubine Yuan entered the room, her eyes fell directly on one place, and the emperor of Zhu Song stood in front of the dragon case, frowning and flipping through a memorial.
She stepped forward lightly, and smiled a few times, her voice was as clear as a silver bell.
Emperor Zhu Song raised his head and saw that the person standing in front of him was Concubine Yuan, he laughed and said, "Concubine Ai, are you here?"
Concubine Yuan held the tray and performed a blessing ceremony gently, and said with a slight smile: "The concubine asked the imperial dining room to make some ginseng soup, so I thought of bringing it to His Majesty to taste."
"Oh, I have to try it." Emperor Zhu Song stepped forward and took her hand, walked to the dragon case, and pushed away the mountain of memorials on the table.
Concubine Yuan put down the tray in her hand, lifted the lid of the cup, and a strong aroma of ginseng chicken soup came to her nostrils.She took the porcelain bowl next to it, carefully filled a small bowl, and gently handed it to Emperor Zhu Song, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, have a taste?"
"Okay, the taste is really fragrant." Emperor Zhu Song took it, first smelled it lightly, and then picked up the spoon and stirred it more lightly.
The soup is rich and sweet, which leaves a lasting fragrance on the teeth and cheeks.
Concubine Yuan saw that Emperor Zhu Song was drinking in a hurry, so she took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is still a lot, so there is no need to drink in a hurry."
Emperor Zhu Song grabbed her white and smooth little hand with one hand, put down the porcelain bowl, and hugged her into his arms.Concubine Yuan Gui let out a soft cry, and gave him a look of shame.
Emperor Zhu Song laughed out loud when he saw her delicate appearance, Concubine Yuan scratched his chest angrily, looked at the memorials piled up on the dragon case, and asked pretendingly curiously: "Your Majesty, what did you do just now?" Looking at the memorial and frowning?"
Emperor Zhu Song cast his eyes on it, frowned again, and sighed: "There are continuous wars in the south, and the ministers have been presenting the memorials. I have sent General Luan Tian there, but those ministers are still chattering. I really listen Tired of their tricks!"
"Your Majesty, don't be angry, it will be bad for your health if you get angry." Concubine Yuan gently stroked his chest to persuade him.
"Even Mo Qian is angry with me!" Emperor Zhu Song slapped the table with his palm.
"Second Prince?" Concubine Yuan Gui asked suspiciously.
Emperor Zhu Song frowned: "Mo Qian wants to lead troops to assist Luan Tian, isn't he messing around? A prince is going to the battlefield!"
Concubine Yuan's eyes flashed a light of unknown meaning, she smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that it is better to allow the second prince. The second prince is concerned about the country, and it is a good thing to share your worries for your majesty. Although the battlefield is dangerous , but with General Luan Tian here, Your Majesty, you are sending more soldiers to follow him, so this trip is not considered dangerous."
Emperor Zhu Song frowned lightly, wondering what Concubine Yuan meant.Thinking about it carefully, Concubine Yuan Gui is right.
"If Your Majesty is still worried, my concubine just heard that the abbot of Lingyin Temple, Huici, has given orders very well. Why don't we send someone to invite Huici, and hold a banquet in the palace, and entertain all the ministers by the way. Ask the abbot to give the two The prince calculates whether this trip to the south is dangerous. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
When Emperor Zhu Song heard what Concubine Yuan said, he felt that it was very reasonable.And I also became a little interested in this monk who ordered orders from Lingyin Temple.Thinking of the lively banquet, he hugged Concubine Yuan and clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Good! Good! Good!"
Concubine Yuan Gui lay quietly in his arms, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and the calculation in her eyes flashed away.
Qingxiang Inn.
Fang Fu seemed to be very happy these two days, with a smile on his face all the time, and he didn't go out to find someone with Fang Liang anymore.Looking at his appearance, Xiao Jin guessed that Mrs. Wen probably did something good.
"My lord, you seem to be in a good mood?" Xiao Jin rubbed his hands and asked cautiously.
Fang Fu glanced at him, put away the smile on his face and said, "You should prepare well for these two days."
ready?
Xiao Jin suddenly realized that it seemed that his day to marry First Young Master Wen was coming...
