Chapter 225: The Vast Dream (9)

The days in the nun temple are as pure as water, there are seven or eight days of rain in ten days, Mu Qing symbolically copied a few volumes of scriptures, every day with bells and drums, tasting tea and reading, listening to the rain falling on the eaves and plants, or stunned or light sleep, or chatting with the eldest princess of Gaomi at will, it is very pleasant, and there is a rare peace and forgetfulness in the heart.

She is at ease, but those who come with her have to endure the impetuosity in their hearts every day, and force themselves to calm down and copy the scriptures, which is really difficult.

It was easy to stay up until the tenth day, and the temple door was opened early in the morning, and a road that had already been sprinkled and cleaned from the front of the Jingci Temple led to the Xuanping Fangfang Gate. The people in the workshop were all encircled in their own homes and were not allowed to move around at will.

At the beginning of Chen, Yu Linlang came to open the way, and hugged an internal supervisor to inspect the whole way. The bells and drums in the temple sounded low, the sound of the collision of the magic instruments was repeated, and the eldest princess of Gaomi and the neatly dressed Huitong nun personally led the nuns in the temple to wait in two columns to welcome the holy car. Mu Qing only led Ah Liu, Danniang and others to stand solemnly at the corner of the temple gate.

A few cars drove chariots, horses bells, and the mighty team moved from the other end of the avenue. The emperor and queen took the lead, followed by the bureaucrats of purple, crimson, black, green, stone and blue, and the palace maids of the inner prison, so big a formation.

Because there was nothing to do with her, Mu Qing leisurely watched the excitement, and took advantage of the situation to find the familiar figure in the crowd. In a blink of an eye, I saw Li Shimin, who I hadn't seen for a long time. His time as the Son of Heaven was not long, but the momentum of the roof was natural and immense.

Somehow, the cold back of the young man who met for the first time in the Tang Mansion back then, the lonely man and one horse at the door of her house after the family relationship with the eldest grandson, and the situation when she hid behind the dirt slope and saw him lead the Xuanjia Army into the enemy formation, and even after Yinghua passed away, he asked her with red eyes about the appearance of Yinghua's burial place. Noble saint.

In the confusion, the ritual of worship is coming to an end, it is not good to set up a seat in front of the Buddhist shrine, and it is not appropriate for many men to move around in the temple. Therefore, Huitong only invited Li Shimin to sit in the side hall with the eldest grandson and several internal supervisors. When the eldest princess Gaomi passed by her side, she secretly tugged at her dress, and Mu Qing hesitated for a moment, bowed her head and followed. Those who followed her were afraid of making mistakes, and they didn't dare to slow down the next step. Immediately behind her.

The emperor sat down on the top, bowed down to His Royal Highness, and announced the reward by the inner supervisor beside him. Needless to say, Huitong was fully ordained, and he was not close to money, so he only rewarded the four seasons monk's robes and other things, and another box of Bayeux Sutras was enshrined. The eldest princess of Gaomi blindly only said that she missed the first queen, and only wanted to fulfill her wishes, and refused to be rewarded, so she gave up.

Li Shimin's gaze passed over everyone. fell on Mu Qing, and Mu Qing hurriedly stepped forward to bow down. Li Shimin waved his hand and said with a light smile: "Today's memorial to the ancestor is not formal, and it is in the temple, I am not worshipped, so this ceremony is enough." ”

Mu Qing should bow down as a curtsia and bow solemnly.

The face of His Royal Highness "Qi Niang ......" is similar to Yinghua, Li Shimin's heart hooked, don't look away. As if nothing happened, he said: "My mother loved Qi Niang when she was alive, and if I learned that Qi Niang copied the scriptures for her today, I would be pleased." I should give my mother a good reward. ”

Mu Qing bowed again and replied calmly: "The concubine was also taught by Queen Taimu when she was young. This time it's just a little respect, but I don't dare to take credit. If Your Majesty really wants to reward ......"

She said and glanced at Changsun's side quickly, and saw that she was only smiling and silent, and she couldn't see the slightest change in expression. "The concubine is brave and only asks for a reward for the six little ladies I brought." Mu Qing turned around with a smile and looked back, his gaze turning on Lu Ayuan's face. The corners of his lips raised slightly, and he turned his head and said: "It's hard for them to be young, and they have followed the concubine body to meditate and cultivate in the temple for ten days, and they have copied more scriptures than the concubine, which is really rare." ”

Li Shimin added a smile to his face, thinking that he was extremely satisfied, and nodded and said, "Qi Niang said very well." With a wave of his hand, the six of them stepped forward together and saluted in unison. Li Shimin tilted his head and said to the eldest grandson: "These people are all recommended by the queen, and they are really appropriate." In this case, the queen will reward it as well. ”

The eldest grandson knew that these six people had always been useless after entering the Cai Guogong Mansion, not to mention concubines, Du Ruhui had never even touched them with a finger, even if he didn't even look at them. Even Pei Sishu went back and described in detail the situation when she sent people into the house, and she understood that these six people were not good, and she was looking for an opportunity to fiddle with them, and she didn't want the opportunity to come so easily. Since they are the teachings of saints, it is naturally better to reward them than to reward them for their identity.

The eldest grandson's heart was full of enthusiasm, and the smug look in Mu Qing's eyes couldn't hide the smug look that was about to surge out, she stabilized her throat, and was about to speak, but suddenly she only heard a "poof", and a figure fell to the ground suddenly, bowing down to Li Shimin and saying: "The slave and maid have a reluctant request, and I hope that the saint will descend to the noble and honorable, and listen to the slave and maid." ”

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows suspiciously, "Just say it." ”

Everyone in the hall looked down, but saw that it was Lu Ayuan brought by Mu Qing who bowed to the ground, and at this moment she was grateful, although she straightened up, she still didn't dare to raise her head, lowered her eyes, and said earnestly and carefully: "The slaves and sisters copied the scriptures for days, and heard all the Sanskrit Buddhist music, and their eyes were all karma, and they were deeply inspired by the Buddha, and they had the idea of taking refuge. However, I have been in the world for a long time, only ten days, and have not been cleansed, but I wish to stay in the Jingci Temple with all the sisters, the green lantern ancient Buddha, and meditate devoutly. For the first queen, she also prayed for blessings for the holy mountains and rivers. ”

As soon as the words came out, the hall was silent, and it was so quiet that it was suffocating for a few breaths. Mu Qing peeked over, but saw that Li Shimin was a little surprised, and his face was still calm. The expression of the eldest grandson beside him did not change much, but his body leaned forward slightly, and one hand was clenched into a fist on his knee. Looking at Danniang and the others again, they were so shocked that they hadn't come back to their souls, but they couldn't discern the idea in their hearts.

Mu Qingmian was embarrassed, and his soft voice broke the silence in the hall in an instant, "This...... But how? It is said that the little lady has a heart for the Buddha, which is a very good thing, but it's just ......"

"Mrs. Gu is reluctant to let go?" The voice of the eldest princess of Gaomi was bright, and she overshadowed Mu Qing's voice, and said to Li Shimin: "If you want me to say, it is rare for these little ladies to have the desire to serve Queen Taimu for life, and what is even more rare is that there are still sufferings in the world in their hearts, which shows that they are compassionate, and they are really people with Buddha fate." If Mrs. Gu is unwilling to fulfill them because of her own selfish thoughts. Isn't it a sin? People say that Buddhism is boundless, and I have been worshipping Buddha for many years, and today I really saw it in person. ”

The eldest grandson nodded with a deep groan. "It's a very rare thing. However, they are still young, and for such a big matter, they must finally ask their own wishes. ”

The eldest princess of Gaomi smiled: "That's nature. As he spoke, he turned around, walked up to the six people, and asked solemnly, "You." Are you willing to stay in Jingci Temple, serve the Buddha for life, worship Queen Taimu, and pray for the blessing of the Buddha to the Holy and the world? ”

The atmosphere in the hall is like a taut string, Rao is so, Mu Qing heard what the eldest princess Gaomi said, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, such a question, teach them how to answer? Serve the Buddha and worship the spiritual seat of the emperor's biological mother. Pray for the emperor and the people of the world, these three cases, only ask any of them, is it possible that they dare to say something unforgiving?

The other five knelt on the ground, refusing to say yes, nor daring to reply, all of them were so anxious that they were silent for a while and did not know how to answer. "The Holy One has always believed in Buddhism, and it is a good thing that you are dedicated to the Buddha, and you will definitely not be blamed for this. You just have to say it. Mu Qing urged softly.

"The saint has always believed in Buddhism", this sentence was like thunder, and it suddenly mentioned Gao Danniang, and a heart in her cavity sank to the bottom. At the moment, I am afraid that there is no way back, judging the situation and saving life is the first priority. In the end, she is smart, Gao Danniang knew that the overall situation had been decided, so she had to lead her head and bow down, "What the slave wants." ”

The rest saw that the situation was so. Helpless, they all followed the kowtow and petitioned, swallowing tears and anger back into their stomachs. The eldest grandson's gaze flashed, as if a sharp blade slashed across Mu Qing's face, but he smiled at Li Shimin and said something like "the mystery of Buddha's fate".

In the palace, Mu Qing, the eldest princess of Gaomi, and Lu Ayuan relaxed their hearts at the same time, and they didn't pay attention to those women. Although Huitong didn't understand the inner entanglement, he also knew that he couldn't let them stay in the temple anymore, so he hurriedly summoned a few female nuns and sent them to the backyard meditation room first.

Half an hour later, the officials in the front yard of Jingci Temple received their will and dispersed one by one. In less than a moment, the inner supervisor opened the way, re-erected the brine, and more than a dozen palace maids came out first with the eldest grandson and supported her to board the chariot. Then came the eldest princess Gaomi, who came out with her maidservants and maids. At the end of the walk was the Huitong nun with his hands folded.

Du Ruhui stood in the front yard and waited for a while without seeing Mu Qing come out, and several internal prisoners who were standing with him also probed the probe worriedly, because Li Shimin did not come out either. Several people looked at each other a few times, and I don't know who muttered in a low voice, "Why didn't the ladies brought by Mrs. Gu come out?" ”

Du Ruhui burst out in his head, and his heart was panicked, he only knew that Mu Qing wanted to get rid of those women, and he didn't know what he had done these days. At the moment, he was not worried about the situation of those women, but he was afraid that Mu Qing's methods would be too radical and anger Tianyan.

After a while, I saw Ah Liu walking out of the corner door, followed by two little nuns, holding some women's daily necessities in their hands. Du Ruhui strode forward, without saying a word, raised his hand and looked over, Xu is hand was uncontrollable, and a few pieces fell to the ground with a jingle bell, which scared the two little nuns.

Aliu looked up at him in shock, "Alang......"

"Why didn't you see Mu Qing come out? What's going on? Du Ruhui shook off his hand and only asked Ah Liu.

Ah Liu was stunned for a moment, looked back at the courtyard and glanced at it, Fang hesitated and whispered back: "Isn't it in the courtyard, what can happen?" It's just that the saint called Qi Niang and asked a few words, this ......"

Du Ruhui raised his head and looked in the direction of Ah Liu's turn, and saw Li Shimin standing under the corridor, Mu Qing stood expressionlessly behind his side, and the left and right sides had retreated, leaving only Li Shimin's personal attendant inner supervisor on the side. Although it is not a disaster, looking at the looks of the two, this questioning is not comfortable.

Du Ruyan expected to be a little good. Li Shimin stood with his hands in his hands, not looking at Mu Qing, his question had been out for a few breaths, but Mu Qing closed his lips tightly and still did not answer. The inner eunuch on the side had been following him for a long time, and he could feel the anger in the chest of the Son of Heaven without looking up, and he hurriedly reminded in a low voice, "The whole world is not the king's land, not to mention a small tomb, Mrs. Gu should not hide it anymore, let's just say it quickly." ”

"If it weren't for the fact that you are Sister Yinghua, you would have asked me repeatedly? How hard can it be to dig through a grave? Li Shimin's solemn voice revealed a little impatience, "Ask you again, where is Yinghua buried?" ”

Mu Qing couldn't help but move his feet backwards, wanting to take half a step back, but he didn't dare to move, so he only bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty asks a hundred times, and the concubine can't talk about it." It's not that the concubine doesn't want to say it, but Yinghua is not buried. Yinghua has always been unrestrained, why bother to detain her forever and forever in that square inch of land? Yinghua is unwilling, and neither is the concubine. Therefore he burned it with fire, and scattered it in all directions, and from that time forth it was never to be bound. ”

It wasn't hot, but the forehead of the inner prison was about to drip with sweat, which was obviously a bruise, but it taught her to be so light-hearted. peeking at Li Shimin, I saw that his face was pale, the green tendons on his neck were protruding, and the hand behind his back was clenched into a fist, and his knuckles were white. The inner supervisor couldn't help but sigh secretly, afraid that there was a catastrophe that would fall on top of this Mrs. Gu.

The internal supervisor and Du Ruhui were old acquaintances, and they couldn't bear to see Mu Qing suffering, so they were anxious in private, thinking that they would have to find a way to inform Du Ruhui outside the hospital. The fist behind Li Shimin's body slowly loosened, and he suddenly sighed lightly: "Sure enough, it is Yinghua's consistent style." The tone was slightly depressed, as if he had shortened his strength.

Mu Qing is not afraid of Li Shimin, but whenever she talks about Yinghua, there is always a bad breath blocking her throat, which makes her bold by two points. Li Shimin tilted his head and looked at her a few times, and saw that she always bowed her head and saluted. This deferential and cautious appearance made him suddenly feel that she was silently disobeying, as if there was a slight hint of contempt.

Li Shimin said coldly: "The tricks you played in the palace today, don't be unaware of them. It's just a few palace maids, just fiddle with it. I know that you are used to tricks and have a lot of thoughts, and you just play in the backyard of your house. If one day you dare to ignore the political affairs of the court and explore the inner garden of the harem, don't blame me for not remembering the old days. ”

With that, he shook his hand and strode away on his own, walking towards the gate of Jingci Temple, and the inner supervisor hurriedly bowed down and followed closely behind. Mu Qing bowed behind him and said, "Remember the teachings of the sage. Li Shimin didn't seem to hear at all, and within a few steps, his figure was hidden by the mighty guard of honor.

Mu Qing stood in place for a long time, only to feel that the person who spoke to her just now was definitely not the Li Jiaerlang who she had recognized before, and she didn't even have a sense of déjà vu, and an undoubted thought smashed heavily in her heart: Du Ruhui could no longer stay by his side for a long time, and the higher the power position, the closer the danger would be. From this point of view, I am afraid that I have reached the top of the mountain, and it will not take a few steps to reach the abyss.

Mu Qing couldn't help but tremble, and recalled Yuan Tiangang's words in her mind for no reason, and she couldn't remember the words very clearly, but the words "broken bones" shook loudly in her brain.

Suddenly, his shoulders sank, and Mu Qing's whole person jumped, but when he turned his head, he saw Du Ruhan's deep and gentle smile: "Why do you think so distracted?" The royal driver left early, why didn't he come out? ”

Mu Qing wanted to smile, but his face was stiff and weak, and he forced out a smile that was not presentable. Du Ruhui didn't seem to see it, he added some strength to his arm, took her to the corner gate, and asked casually as he walked, "What did the Holy Lord say to you?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Mu Qing shook his head a few times and said with a smile: "Zuo is just asking about Yinghua's burial place." After a long time, he will be fine when he fades. ”

The clouds in mid-air piled up again at some point, and the rain fell unexpectedly, Mu Qing sped up a few steps to board the car, worried that the rain was endless. The driver who drove the car looked at the sky and sighed, "This year's scene is another defeat, the rain can no longer be contained, and it can't avoid a waterlogging." ”

Mu Qing turned his head and glanced at Du Ruhui's face, he was only stunned, as if he hadn't listened to the coachman's gossip. (To be continued.) )
