"My sister is here. Nangong Yulan saw Yuhuan coming from afar and greeted her with a smile.

"Sister, don't you have to go to the Queen Mother and the Empress to say hello today?" asked Nangong Yuhuan.

"I was invited yesterday, but I don't have to go every day. Nangong Yulan stepped forward and took Nangong Yuhuan's hand and said, "How do you feel that my sister has only been meditating for three days, and it seems that her cultivation has made some progress?"

Nangong Yuhuan smiled slightly and said, "Thanks to my sister's blessing, I just cultivated the transformation period to stabilize it, and I am no longer so vain." ”

"The aura between heaven and earth in the palace is not as good as that of Yuanshengmen, and it is really rare for my sister to be able to stabilize her cultivation so quickly. Nangong Yulan looked the jade ring up and down, and said strangely.

Nangong Yuhuan said with a smile: "Thank you sister for letting me come to this palace and see the different customs in the palace, so that I can understand and stabilize the foundation." ”

"Oh, what did my sister realize?" Nangong Yulan asked curiously.

"There is no other, only a poem has been realized, fame and fortune are out of the world, there are books and rich people, and there are little fairies who have nothing to do. Nangong Yuhuan chanted in his mouth.

Nangong Yulan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then said with a wry smile: "What a little fairy who has nothing to do, how many people want to beg for fear and can't ask for it? When my sister said this, it reminded me of a joke, when a ghost was born, the king of Hades was judged to be a rich man." The ghost said: "I don't want to be rich." But it is enough to seek a lifetime of food and clothing, nothing more than to burn incense, eat bitter tea, and live a peaceful life. The king of Hades said, "If I want silver, I will give you tens of thousands, so that you will be happy and happy, but you will not be allowed to enjoy it." With this good thing, I did it myself. ””

Nangong Yuhuan said with a smile: "What my sister said is that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and my sister has more things to worry about than me, so naturally she can't be idle." When I traveled to the Snowy Buddha Country, the Ten Thousand Vehicles Buddha Country, and the Haitian Buddha Country, I heard a Buddhist lama give a lecture on the eight sufferings of life, and this is one of them. ”

"Oh, I didn't expect my sister to have heard of Buddhism? Nangong Yulan immediately became interested and asked.

"Buddhism cloud life has eight sufferings, namely: birth, old age, sickness, death, love and separation, resentment, unwantedness, and five yin blazing suffering. 1. The pain of birth, many people no longer remember, the pain of October fetal prison, needless to say, that is, at the time of birth, a delicate baby, through the narrow birth door, squeezed and deformed, before giving birth, this pain is beyond words to describe. After being separated from the mother's body, it is stimulated by the scorching or cold air of the outside world, and is grabbed and carried by the huge palm of the midwife, which is more painful for the baby's delicate skin than the whip. The crying of a baby after birth is caused by physical pain. ”

Nangong Yulan nodded and said: "This is very true, although I can't remember the situation when I was born, but the situation when I had a miscarriage is still vivid, and I can really feel the pain of the baby and the pain of the mother and child." ”

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard the palace maid say: "Concubine Lan, Qiang, Ru Concubine, Li Concubine, Wan Concubine, Qin Zhaoyi, and Du Zhaoyi are visiting. ”

Nangong Yulan frowned slightly when she heard this, but she immediately let go, and said with a smile on her face: "Quickly invite a few sisters to enter the flower hall and sit down." ”

"Wow. The palace maids answered and led a few people into the flower hall. Nangong Yulan led Yuhuan and followed in, and when everyone saw Yulan coming, they hurriedly saluted: "Meet Concubine Lan." ”

Nangong Yulan said with a decent smile on her face: "Sisters of all families, hurry up and be exempted." ”

Everyone sat down, and Concubine Qiang asked with a smile, "What interesting things is my sister talking to Sister Yuhuan?"

Nangong Yulan said with a smile: "My sister, when it comes to what I have seen and heard in the Buddhist country, I am talking about the eight sufferings of life that Buddhism says. ”

Ru Concubine listened with a look of fascination on her face, and said: "I envy Sister Yuhuan, I have been to so many places from south to north, unlike us Although we look at brocade clothes and jade food, we don't have such an experience as our sister." ”

"Who says it's not?" The concubine on the side continued: "For example, this Buddhism, we have only heard of it, but no one knows how it is. ”

Nangong Yuhuan heard it in his heart, because not only is there no Buddhism in the city of Gyeonggi in Nanhua Kingdom, but there are no religious palaces such as the Bright God Sect and Taoism, and only some sporadic palaces are found in remote places. So it's normal for these people in the palace not to know.

Nangong Yuhuan smiled slightly: "This is where the wisdom of the emperor lies, and the means to avoid **** can be regarded as suitable for the national conditions of Nanhua." Nangong Yuhuan said this tactfully, and did not say that religion was bad, nor did he say that the emperor was not, and neither side should be offended.

"So, maybe my sister will tell us?" asked Qiang.

"This ......" Nangong Yuhuan looked at the concubine hesitantly and said: "What I said to Sister Yulan was just a private conversation in the boudoir, and now I want to talk to the sisters, I don't know if I have broken the rules of the country?"

"This ...... There shouldn't be any problems, speaking of which, the gathering between our sisters can be regarded as a private conversation, right?" Concubine Qiang looked at Nangong Yulan.

Nangong Yulan smiled: "Sister Qiang, don't look at me, I don't know, but if everyone thinks it's nothing, it should be nothing, right?"

At this time, Qiang, Ru Concubine, Li Concubine, Wan Concubine, Qin Zhaoyi, and Du Zhaoyi looked at each other, and I looked at you speechless for a long time, or the Qiang Concubine was bolder, and grinned: "I see, nothing, if this matter of talking about Buddhism and Taoism is in other palaces, there may be some problems, but in Sister Lan's palace, there is probably no problem." Who made you so favored sister, and the emperor wouldn't say anything about you?"

As soon as Concubine Qiang said this, everyone echoed in unison: "That's, that's it, I don't think the emperor will say anything." ”

Nangong Yulan said with a smile on her face: "The emperor may not say anything about me, but I'm afraid that others will know that I am pampered and arrogant?"

Concubine Qiang said coquettishly: "Good sister, if we don't say it, who can know if it won't work, you say yes?"

Everyone nodded hurriedly and replied, "That's it, that's it, we promise not to say it." ”

Nangong Yulan then relieved and said: "Okay, it's not a big deal, sister, just tell everyone about it." ”

Nangong Yuhuan stepped forward and saluted: "I've seen all of you, I've seen and heard shallowly, it's just hearsay, everyone should listen to gossip, don't take it seriously." ”

"Haha, sister, you are starting to be humble again, your cultivation is the highest among all of you here, and you are still so humble, isn't it embarrassing for us. Don't be verbose, just talk about it. "Concubine Qiang is a quick talker.

Nangong Yuhuan smiled slightly, and was no longer modest, first told everyone about the hardships of the eight sufferings in life, and then continued.
