Puzhao Temple.

The abbot of the temple heard that there was going to be a lady in the palace early in the morning, so he led everyone to greet him in front of the temple, and when Zhaoyun got off the carriage with the help of Bai Zhi, the abbot and everyone hurriedly came forward, the abbot folded his hands, bowed his head and said gently: "The poor nun see the concubine." ”

Zhaoyun was named a concubine by the emperor because of the matter of going out of the palace to pray for the country, at this time I heard this name, I also felt normal, and I hurriedly let the abbot flatten his body, and said softly: "The abbot doesn't have to be polite, I entered this temple, I am the person in the temple, and I will be the same as you in the future." ”

The abbot Nuo said yes, and led Zhaoyun to the main hall of the temple.

Zhaoyun looked at the gilded Buddha statue offered in the main hall, only felt that the expression was solemn and high, and he quickly knelt down to worship, folded his hands, and kowtowed three times to the gilded Buddha statue before standing up.

The abbot said slowly: "The concubine went out of the palace to practice, since the poor nun knew about it, he rushed to arrange it, and he has already cleaned up a room in the east courtyard, and the concubine went with the poor nun to take a look, if there is anything wrong, the poor nun will make preparations." ”

Zhaoyun said lightly: "No need, monks, the most like quiet, as long as the house can live in people, where there are so many exquisite, I believe that the abbot's arrangement can not be wrong, I heard that the people in the temple have their own legal names." Since I have entered this temple today, I will naturally follow the customs of the locals, and I will ask the abbot to draw up a Dharma name for me, and from now on, I will be the same person as you. ”

The abbot responded and said slowly: "Since the concubine is loved, then the poor nun will be bold and draw up a law name for the concubine, and the concubine will pray for the country, and the merit is immeasurable." Why don't you just draw up the law name Jingde. ”

Zhaoyun read it twice by himself, and said with a gentle smile: "I have a heart, and the word Jingde is very satisfying to me." ”

After a pause, Zhaoyun said again: "I have just arrived, and it is inevitable that I don't understand many of the rules of the temple, and I ask the abbot to give me advice. ”

The abbot said unhurriedly: "Actually, there are not too many rules in the temple, just vegetarian cloth, meditating in the morning and dusk, knocking scriptures and reciting Buddha." There is only one thing. Tell the concubine urgently. In the center of the temple, it is forbidden to stand or kneel. ”

Zhaoyun smiled and said: "I understand this, the Buddha Hall is a holy place, and the middle position is respected. Only virtuous and respectable. The abbot of the incense for a long time. to be able to afford this qualification. Ordinary temple people can only worship in a partial position. ”

The abbot smiled kindly and said slowly, "In that case, there is nothing else to do. When you enter this temple, you are a quiet person, and there is no common name for red dust, and in the future, everyone in the temple will call your Dharma name Jingde. ”

Zhaoyun bowed his head slightly and said, "That's nature." ”

The abbot pulled over a middle-aged nun beside him who looked kind, and said with a smile: "Jingde, this is the deacon of the temple, the law name is Jing'an, responsible for the food and clothing of everyone in the temple, if there is any need, just open your mouth to Jing'an." ”

Jing'an clasped her hands together and gestured with her chin bowed. Zhaoyun returned the salute and said gently, "Please ask the deacon to teach more in the future." ”

If a day passed, Zhaoyun looked around the temple under the guidance of Jing'an, and had a general understanding of the temple, and when he had dinner, his body was also very tired, so he went back to the room to rest.

At this time, Bai Zhi was still following Zhaoyun's side, Zhaoyun half leaned on the pillow, looked at Bai Zhi and said: "I am just such a confidant as you by my side, Lu Yang is reluctant to leave the palace, and I am not too reluctant, but you, without saying a word, follow me." Don't worry, wait a few days, I will find a reason to send you out, before leaving the palace, I will give you a lot of silver taels, you take it, go home to find a loyal person, so that you can live a good life. ”

Bai Zhi said with tears in her eyes: "Niangniang treats the slave and maid so well, the slave and maid are really unrecompensable." ”

Zhaoyun said lightly: "Silly girl, I'm not a mother now, in fact, I envy you, although I am just a slave in the palace, but I still have a hope, I can still find my lover when I am released from the palace, but I can't." ”

Bai Zhi saw that Zhaoyun was sad, and she couldn't persuade her about this, so she had to say: "Niangniang is tired for a day, so let's rest early." ”

It's night.

Zhaoyun went to bed early, and in a daze, he always felt a little unstable, as if someone was softly calling himself "Yun'er." Zhaoyun thought it was a hallucination at first, but when he realized that someone had touched his arm, he was suddenly shocked, rubbed his eyes, and opened his eyes to see that it was Zixuan standing in front of the bed.

Zhaoyun hurriedly sat up, and Zixuan also sat down on the bed, his eyes were full of concern, and he said softly: "Yun'er, you, you are okay." ”

Zhaoyun held Zixuan's hand and asked in surprise, "Brother Zixuan, you, why are you here?" ”

Zixuan hugged Zhaoyun, his voice was a little choked, and he said softly: "Yun'er, I miss you, I was so happy to hear that you were going out of the palace, so I took leave early in the morning, and there were many people during the day, so I had to come to see you at night." ”

Zhaoyun pushed Zixuan away, with a worried look between his eyebrows, and said lightly: "It's useless, you and I are absolutely impossible." ”

Zixuan almost screamed, but he still desperately lowered his voice and said, "Yun'er, what do you mean by this, I thought that you came up with this method just to want to be with me, didn't you?" ”

Zhaoyun said lightly: "Brother Zixuan, let's go, I have a weak heart now, and I want to eat fasting and chant Buddha, and I have nothing else to think about in this life." ”

Zixuan shook his head, his expression changed again and again, and he said in a low voice: "No, no, you can't have me in your heart, you finally got out of the palace, there are not so many people staring, you can think of many ways to leave this temple now!" This temple is just a temporary place for you to settle, do you really plan to do it for the long term? Don't you want to wander the world with me? ”

Zhaoyun said softly: "Zixuan, we can't do it, you better go, I'm not in the palace anymore, you can resign from the errand of the head of the guard, you are both civil and military, you should be an official in the court, you really shouldn't be in the harem and be a little head of the guard." ”

Zixuan looked at Zhaoyun with a firm expression, and his voice was calm and powerful: "Yun'er, you always think about me, don't you think about yourself?" Do you think that I will be happy when I become an official in the court? If you don't have your company by your side, it is to worship the prime minister, so what's the point, Yun'er, you come with me, let's go incognito, and live a life that only belongs to the two of us, okay? ”

Zhaoyun's expression became cold, and his tone seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and he said coldly: "Brother Zixuan, you don't have to dwell on it, I didn't want you to be sad, but now, I must make it clear, I, we have a difficult future, in my heart, there is already someone else, I am afraid that I will not be able to tolerate anyone except him in my life." ”

Murong Yuhan was taken aback, he never expected that the relationship between himself and Zhaoyun's childhood sweetheart would not be as good as someone else's. At this moment, Murong Yu asked with a blue face, "Who is that person?" (To be continued.) )
