In the Baohua Palace, the incense mist is swirling. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Kangxi looked at the things in Concubine Tong's hand, was stunned for a moment, and asked, "By the way, what about the Lotus Sutra copied by Concubine Jia?"
Concubine Tong was annoyed in her heart, but she didn't expect the emperor to really remember this, so she hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, the twenty-eight Lotus Sutras, the concubine was sent to the palace of the concubines yesterday." The concubine carefully checked it, and there were indeed no mistakes or omissions, which shows that the concubine copied it carefully and carefully. β
Kangxi nodded, and said, "If you want to be dedicated, you can't fake others in the future." β
Concubine Tong bit her lip and hurriedly curtsied, "Yes, concubines remember." She was busy explaining herself: "The concubine only thought of this idea a month ago, but the concubine's handwriting was not good enough, and the writing was slow, and I heard the queen mother say that the concubine was beautiful and familiar with the Buddhist scriptures, so she asked her to help the concubine copy it." β
Hearing this explanation, Kangxi snorted lightly, "Forget it this time." β
Concubine Tong breathed a sigh of relief.
Kangxi said: "Then ask someone to bring the scriptures!" - Tong Guifei did not have the scriptures in her hand, Kangxi expected that there must be too many scriptures, and Tong Jiashi was holding a bottle of freshly picked lotus in his hand, which must not be able to be taken, so he handed it over to the slave to bring it.
Concubine Tong hurriedly smiled and said: "Back to the emperor, the scriptures copied by the concubine, and the concubine was in the Jingren Palace Buddha Hall this morning to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager Xiaokang." β
ββSince it is a Buddhist scripture copied for the Empress Dowager Xiaokang, it is naturally to be burned for the Empress Dowager Xiaokang. This is the self-righteous rhetoric that Tong Guifei thought of early on!!
Concubine Tong thought she was perfect, but Kangxi suddenly changed color, Kangxi almost couldn't believe what his ears heard, he stared at Tong Jia's perfect smile tightly, and asked, "What did you say?!"
Concubine Tong naturally noticed that Kangxi's face was wrong, and said in a more gentle tone: "The concubine has been burned to the Empress Dowager Xiaokang." β
The anger in Kangxi's heart finally couldn't be contained, and he immediately scolded angrily: "Are you fooled like a fool when I am a fool?!!!
Such a thunderous rebuke made Concubine Tong so frightened that her lips trembled, and she looked at Kangxi with consternation: "The emperor, the emperor ......"
"What to burn to the Empress Dowager Xiaokang, I see that you are burning it with your hands?!!" Kangxi's roar seemed to tear people apart.
Tong Guifei's legs trembled, her hands were trembling, and she only heard a "touch" sound, the bean green reward bottle full of newly opened white lotus had been broken on the ground, and the water in it splashed and sprinkled on Tong Guifei's pure flag uniform, ** a large piece, and the white lotus also fell into scattered petals, so pitiful.
How could Concubine Tong see Kangxi so angry, her legs were weak, so she softened on the ground, but her mouth hurriedly quibbled: "No, no, the concubine is really a tribute to ......"
Before Concubine Tong finished speaking, she was interrupted by Kangxi's angry voice: "Enough!!! Until now, you still want to make clever words?!! are you a three-year-old child?!! all the scriptures copied in the palace must be enshrined in front of the Buddha in the Baohua Hall for 7749 days before they can be used for other purposes!!?!!
Even Zhao Yan, the concubine who has been in the palace for three months, knows this, so she deliberately told Concubine Tong to send it to Baohua Hall for worship that day. Concubine Tong naturally didn't know, but she was carried away by jealousy, thinking that she could use the excuse of giving it to the Empress Dowager Xiaokang to destroy Zhao Yan's hard work for half a month, so as to vent her anger.
Concubine Tong Guifei was already dumb with her tongue, "Concubines, concubines, concubines......"
Kangxi has blocked the road that she "forgot for a while", how can she come up with any other excuses?! Kangxi is a person with a strong desire to control, how can he be easily fooled?!
It was precisely because Zhao Yan deliberately provoked Concubine Tong that day, and Concubine Tong, under the combination of anger and jealousy, came up with such a stupid idea of being clever!
At this time, the imperial eunuch adviser walked in again and reported with concern: "Your Majesty, the concubine asks to see you." β
Kangxi is on fire at the moment, where can he have a good face, turned his head and scolded angrily: "She is pregnant, she can't have a good baby, what are you doing here?!"
The advisor hung his head deeply, barely maintaining his composure, and said, "The slave doesn't know, it's just ...... I saw that Concubine De seemed to be bringing something. β
Hearing something, Kangxi frowned at first, and then couldn't help but report some expectations, so he said, "Let her come in!"
After a while, Concubine De held a huge brocade box in her arms and respectfully entered the hall.
Concubine Tong couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the familiar brocade box.
Concubine De stepped forward and curtsy and saluted: "The concubine greets the emperor." β
Kangxi couldn't help but be happy when he saw the brocade box, because he had seen it on Zhao Yan's bookcase before, that is...... Kangxi hurriedly asked, "What is this?"
Concubine De hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, this is the scripture transcribed by Jia Concubine's sister. The concubine specially sent it. With that, she opened the brocade box, and it was filled with the Lotus Sutra.
Kangxi's face was happy, but Concubine Tong was stunned, "This ...... How is this possible?!"
Kangxi glanced at Concubine Tong Guifei, couldn't help but snort coldly, and asked Concubine De: "Wasn't this thing burned by Tong Jia's family?" - Originally, Kangxi planned to wait for the Lotus Sutra to be enshrined in front of the Buddha for 7749 days, and then take it back and keep it as a souvenir, and he did not plan to pay tribute to his biological mother, the Empress Dowager Xiaokang. Therefore, looking at it as a lost and regained, Kangxi's anger has been reduced by half.
Concubine De glanced at Concubine Tong and showed a look of confusion: "Burn it down?" Then, she said: "The concubine picked it up outside the teahouse of Jingren Palace, and thought it was the concubine Niangniang...... She forgot to bring it, so ...... I sent it on purpose. β
Concubine De pretended to be ignorant and a little frightened, so Kangxi didn't ask her anymore, but glanced at Concubine Tong coldly: "It seems that you want to ask the eunuch to burn the fire in the teahouse!!"
Concubine Tong was speechless, after all, she just said that she had burned it, and even if Concubine De brought this thing at this moment, she couldn't change her mouth, so she only knelt on the ground with a gray face, biting her pale lips.
Concubine De looked surprised, surprised and frightened, she looked up at Kangxi: "Your Majesty ......"
Kangxi exhaled heavily and said to Concubine Tong: "You really disappointed me!!"
Concubine Tong looked up at Kangxi, and hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, it's all the concubines who are angry for a while, so they lost their proportions......
Kangxi waved his hand: "You shut up!!I don't want to listen to your quibbles anymore!!If it weren't for Concubine De today, Concubine Jia's hard work in the past half a month would have been ruined by you!!"
Concubine Tong's face was full of fear, but her heart was full of jealousy and hatred. She was jealous and hated Zhao Yan, hated why Zhao Yan had copied the Buddhist scriptures so quickly, and even told the emperor about the transcription! She also hated Concubine De, why didn't she come early or late, but she came at this time! Not only could she not help her, but dragged her back!!
