"It's so big!" Yun and the princess pulled up the veil of Emperor Kangci's concubine, "Concubine Kang, go and go, it's to pray for your father and the emperor." ”

Kang Ci couldn't help but smile at the virtuous concubine and said, "Okay, sister, let's also take these poor little people out for a walk." ”

The virtuous concubine looked at Yun He's energetic little face, as if she saw herself when she first entered the palace, and nodded silently.

The princesses are pitiful villains, so she is a very pitiful old man.

Yun and the Lord jumped three feet high, holding the Lord Yueqing and was overjoyed.

Emperor Kangci's concubine sent a decree to go to the court room to invite the king of law.

Ling Xiang said: "Tomorrow, so many elders will drive the Tianxi Temple, and the concubines will arrange the car first." ”

So he deliberately took his leave, so as not to suspect the king of the law.

Tomorrow to send the concubines to Tianxi Temple to release, the inner court and urgently issued an edict, Tianxi Temple received an edict, wantonly cleaned the mountain gate, refused pilgrims, so busy.

In the evening, the women in the palace fasted and bathed according to the rituals, and Ling Xiang was locked in the fairy tower, meditating on the poison for a night.

Early the next morning, the palace car honor guard could not see the end, and went out from the Chengtian Gate.

Today is the birthday of the Buddha, and the royal proclamation makes it clear that all beings are equal, so there is no need to avoid it.

Everywhere the palace car passes, it is as lively as the New Year, the people cheer and bow down in the middle of the road, many people stretch their necks to see the queen's demeanor, but unfortunately the yellow cover of the Jiufeng car is tight, and people have not even seen a shadow.

However, for the people, there is no need to avoid the royal guard of honor, and it is like a festival to enjoy it.

Along the Qinhuai River, Changganli, out of the South Zhonghua Gate, across the Changgan Bridge, a thousand-year-old temple towering in sight.

A sky-high pagoda can be seen near the water, which is resplendent and splendid, as if the stupa in the sky rises from the bottom of the flat.

The host led thousands of monks of the whole temple to gather outside the temple gate to welcome the royal family, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.

The temple fair in front of the temple also moved, and the people gathered around the swords, guns, swords, and halberds stopped by Long Chengwei, just to see the royal style.

Under the phoenix cover and green umbrella, the queen stepped down, accompanied by Emperor Kangci and the concubine and others to enter the temple after singing promises with the monks.

Although they only had a glimpse, many people had already wandered out of the world, and they were amazed again and again, and they could boast of three days and three nights when they went home, and many young monks suddenly saw that the royal family members were also red-faced, red-eared, and had nowhere to place their hands and feet.

Maitreya Buddha who has worshiped the Tianwang Palace, the Shakyamuni of the Mahavira Temple, the Guanyin Bodhisattva of the Guanyin Hall on the left and right, and the Vajra Palace, the left and right tablet pavilions, the Great Zen Hall and other places, the old monk Fajing and several respected elders accompanied the female dependents to the famous Seven Treasures Ashoka Pagoda in ancient and modern times.

When I got here, the sun was already high, and I thought it was noon.

This tower is as high as more than ten zhang, nine levels and eight sides, the whole body is fired with colorful glaze, the lower wall, the stone altar and the railing, are all made of white marble, and the carved pattern is extremely unique. The tower hall is not a ceremonial ancestral sacrifice, closed all the year round, and the door frame is decorated with five-color glazed bricks such as lions, white elephants, flying sheep, etc. The top of the tower is inlaid with gold and silver jewelry, and hundreds of wind chimes are hung under the corner beams of each layer, which ring day and night, and the sound is heard for several miles.

Even the princesses and concubines who are accustomed to seeing high-end buildings in the palace can't help but look up.

Elder Fajing said: "This tower since the date of completion, light the lamp of Changming Pagoda one hundred and forty, consume sixty-four pounds of oil every day, day and night, at night in Jinling City can be seen at a glance, the inner wall of the tower is covered with Buddhist shrines. The temple often received foreign merchants, tourists, and missionaries such as Taixi Funan Fuso. They will say that this is the symbol of the Great Yin Dynasty, and that it is an out-and-out spectacle to race past the Colosseum, the Catacombs of Alexandria, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. ”

Lu Shi helped Ling Xiang and said: "This tower is the tallest building in my Great Yin Dynasty, no wonder those Fanbang people squinted." ”

Ling Xiang smiled slightly, and together with the two imperial concubines and the eldest princess Feng Gongfei, they lit the ever-bright lantern for the first emperor and the first queen.

Then came the grand release ceremony.

There is a huge release pond in Tianxi Temple, and I heard that the Qinhuai River has been dredged underneath, so there is no need to go to the river to show your face.

Yun and the Lord were very unhappy when they learned about it, and pouted.

Emperor Kang Ci's concubine couldn't help but tease her: "What's the matter?

Yun He tilted his head and thought about it, but he didn't know what he thought, and he became happy again, and ran forward to take the hand of the imperial concubine and wanted to put it in his head.

A large number of birds, magpies, fish and turtles were prepared in the palace, and the two imperial concubines and the queen were naturally the first to release them.

Ling Xiang put a big turtle on it.

The chamberlain smiled and presented a black magpie.

Ling Makeup took it in his hand, only to find that the magpie's coat color was not all black, and the autumn sun cast mottled shadows from the branches and leaves, shining its purple luster.

In fact, the ancients once said: "The people know that the king wants to let go, and they compete to catch it, and there are many dead." If you want to live, if you don't forbid the people not to catch them, catch them and release them, and the favor will not make up for each other......"

What a simple truth, but it is still popular.

The world is not something that can be done knowing how to be.

Ling Xiang didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and naturally didn't have any enthusiasm for the release, so his mood was a little low, but the concubines and princesses of Emperor Shunzuo, who had not been able to leave the palace for a long time, were very interested.

After disturbing the release of life, they visited the perfume river, the pagoda underground palace, the Tibetan scripture pavilion in the Tianxi Temple, etc., and had a meal in the temple before returning to the palace.

After returning to the palace, everyone went back to their palace to rest and change their clothes, just to watch the lantern festival in the evening.

When the mind is heavy, people are easy to get tired, and after a day of forced laughter outside, Ling Makeup was so tired that he didn't want to eat anything, and he rested on the couch until the waiter gently urged up, and then he changed into the palace clothes of Ming Huang Xiufeng, Xia Silk Ribbon, and wore the crown of three dragons and nine phoenixes saved by thousands of jewels.

Downstairs in the Great Yin Gate, the clan relatives and nobles gathered to wait.

Duchess Weiguo Lian is also impressively listed.

From a distance, Ling Xiang saw that her mother had lost a lot of weight, and she couldn't hide the new white hair on her temples, and she couldn't help but have a sore nose, and stepped forward to hold her hand.

Lian's eyes were hot, his throat choked, and he couldn't say anything.

However, it was said that the Empress Dowager and his sisters had high hopes and had to sign up for today's Lantern Conference.

The news has spread like a tidal wave in Kyoto.

The rest of the noble children, even if they don't want to sign up, are forced to report because of the word "filial piety", and those who have some ability will apply.

Fortunately, there is a ten-mile long street lantern section, and people who are not brave and ruthless can participate in running to pass the lantern to show filial piety.

In the autumn, the condemned prisoner has been beheaded.

Cheng Shaomei and Ling Chunniang were sad, and ordered their eldest son Ling to buy a house with a single courtyard and move out of the Weiguo Mansion.

It's also a loss that the ministries and institutes didn't dare to come to the Cheng family to compare the truth, and they didn't recover Cheng Ze's greedy silver, otherwise with the Cheng family's little background, they wouldn't be able to afford such a house in a good location in Kyoto.
