Back in Pingcheng, Mochuan and Moqi hurriedly went out every day and disappeared all day long. Qiyun wanted to ask Mo Chuan what happened, but he knew that the rules of the Chaoying Palace were strict, so it was inconvenient to inquire, so he could only suppress his doubts in the bottom of his heart.

Qiyun often unfolds the picture scroll, thinking about this map of the jade seal collection of the country, who will give it to in order to live up to the trust of his mother?

She quietly went to the Pingshuhou Mansion alone, where her maternal grandfather's family lived, but she couldn't go in to recognize her relatives. Mother's dying words rang in my ears, "I can only be surnamed Wang until I die, and I can't revert to my surname Xu." What face shall I have to meet your grandfather? Xu Yan was already dead on the day he was captured by Helian Bobo. ”

Qiyun looked at the plaque in front of the mansion and the black-lacquered gate, and vaguely watched her mother walk out of the mansion covered in blood. The guards heard the news and arrested the murderer, but they could only watch in amazement as the missing eldest lady walked out of the mansion step by step like a walking corpse. Everyone will sigh in their hearts, and make people happy. In the troubled times, national vendetta kills, people are grassy, even the royal relatives are not different.

"It's not to assist the Xianbei Tuoba clan, but to assist the people of the world. Eliminating the war and returning a peaceful and prosperous era is more important than anything else! Her mother's words lingered in her mind for a long time.

She thought about it for a long time, hid the picture scroll and Uncle Xu's paper in her sleeve, walked to the palace in the snow, and wandered outside the palace gate.

A gorgeous palace car drove up, with a gilded crested head and yellow knots on it, and a woman's soft and elegant voice came from the car: "Isn't this the Lord of Mingyue Xuan?" Why are you here? ”

Qiyun looked up, and it turned out to be He Sining, who was smiling at her with the car curtain in her hand. He Sining asked the palace people to help her out of the car, wearing a white fox fur and holding a hand warmer in her hand. I haven't seen him for a few months, and although his face looks a little white, it is more smooth and round. She smiled and asked, "Zhuohua, what are you doing here?" Are you here to find the emperor? ”

Qiyun hesitated for a moment and nodded.

He Sining took Qiyun's hand and walked forward together, and the palace people followed, walking on the snow, and heard the sound of popping.

When she was about to arrive at the Taiji Palace, Si Ning said to her: "If you want to see the emperor, there is nothing wrong with it. It's just that the emperor has been busy with government affairs recently, and I'm afraid I don't have time to see you. Why don't you go and sit in my palace? ”

Seeing her warmly invited, Qiyun didn't think about him, and nodded yes. Qiyun followed He Sining into her bedroom, and when she entered the door, Qiyun didn't pay attention to the name of the palace. Entering the hall, she only felt that the hall was as warm as spring, fragrant, and kept the cold wind and cold air outside the hall.

After the palace people served the refreshments, they bowed down and withdrew, leaving only He Sining and Qiyun. I don't know what to do, Qiyun feels uncomfortable. She looked around the hall and saw the pink walls, and her heart sank to the bottom.

He Sining smiled at her and asked, "Zhuohua, do you think my palace is unusually warm?" ”

Qiyun nodded, and the smile on Si Ning's face deepened: "The emperor said that I am not in good health, and I am afraid of cold in winter, so I specially ordered someone to paint the wall with pepper and mud, which is warm and warm." In fact, Jiaofang Hall is the queen's bedroom, and Si Ning is still a nobleman, and it is ashamed to live here. Fortunately, the emperor is also an informal person, and he let me live in peace. He said that I am pregnant, and the pepper has many seeds, which means auspicious, and hopes to give birth to the prince here safely. With that, he touched his abdomen with his hand, and his face was gentle and soft.

Hearing her say this, Qiyun's eyes followed her gestures, and saw that after Sining took off the fox fur, her abdomen bulged slightly.

Qiyun's mind was buzzing, and he reluctantly got up and saluted, and congratulated: "Zhuohua congratulates the noble man on giving birth to the prince safely, and then the mother will become the lord of the six palaces as soon as possible." ”

He Sining's face turned pale, and Qiyun knew that "mothers are more expensive than children" deeply stung her. The Northern Wei Dynasty is different from other dynasties, not because the mother is expensive because of the son, but because the son is noble and the mother dies. Once the prince was made the crown prince, the mother was immediately given death. The concubines of other dynasties all competed to have children, only the concubines of Wei were afraid of pregnancy, and Qiyun somewhat admired He Sining's courage.

Qiyun didn't know how Lu Dao said goodbye to He Sining and left the Jiaofang Palace, but he felt that his feet were soft and weak, and his mind was intertwined with the squirting eyes of Yunlu and He Sining's proud look of stroking his waist and abdomen. It turns out that everything is ...... It's all fake.

Unconsciously, the vision was a little blurry, and when I touched my hand, my face was full of water, and my face hurt from the cold. When I walked to the mountain gate, I looked up and saw that there was a nunnery inside. Only then did Qiyun realize that she was walking casually, lost in the palace, and couldn't find the way she came.

When she was wandering in confusion, she heard an elegant and soft voice say, "Isn't this Miss Zhuohua?" Why are you here? ”

Seeing that the person in front of him was holding Buddha beads and wearing plain clothes, it was Mrs. Hui'an. It turned out that Qiyun actually arrived at the mercy nunnery where Mrs. Hui'an was cultivating in the palace.

Qiyun hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "It turned out to be Mrs. Hui'an." Zhuohua didn't know the way out of the palace, so he came here by mistake and disturbed Shitai's Qing Xiu. ”

Hui An smiled slightly: "It's okay, the poor nun is quiet here, and few guests come." I'm glad you're here. Miss Zhuohua, poor nuns see that your face is pale, and her complexion is not very good. Why don't you go to the nunnery to drink some hot tea and warm up before leaving? ”

Qiyun nodded and followed her through the mountain gate and into the courtyard. In the flower garden, there are pines and cypresses on one side, and wax plum on the other, which is full of all kinds of flowers, and the branches of the plum blossom are open, and the wisps of fragrance are faint and fragrant, refreshing people's hearts.

Hui An led her into the nunnery, and Qiyun walked in, instantly calm as water. The windows in the nunnery are bright and clean, and there is a very elegant Luohan couch in the middle, and on both sides are low couches and several cases. There is a statue of Buddha on the desk, and offerings are placed in front of the statue, and the smoke of sandalwood rises, and the whole room is fragrant and elegant.

Qiyun knelt down on the ** in front of the statue of Guanyin, and said silently in his heart: Great mercy and great compassion Guanyin, the believer Feng Qiyun begged the Bodhisattva to bless my mother from the sea of suffering as soon as possible and ascend to the realm of the Western Heaven Elysium. Feng Qiyun is willing to be a cow and a horse in the next life to atone for her mother's sins.

She pondered for a long time before getting up. Hui An smiled at Qiyun and said, "You seem to have a lot on your mind, and the poor nun can see that you are very unhappy. ”

Qiyun remembered her mother's tragic life and sighed, "I was seen by Mrs. Shi." How can there be joy in troubled times? What I saw was devastation, and people were like dogs. ”

Hui'an twisted his fingers and moved the Buddha beads, and recited: "The Buddha said, there are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, sickness, death, love and separation, resentment for a long time, can't ask for it, can't let go. Life is created by oneself, phase is born from the heart, and everything in the world is incarnate. If the heart does not move, everything does not move, the heart does not change, everything does not change.

"Master, Zhuohua is a person in the red dust. I just can't see it, I can't think about it. Qiyun said distressedly.

Master Hui'an seemed to have a look on her face that could break everything, and said indifferently: "The heart is like stopping water, quiet is clear, and chaos is unknown." There are many things, and the more you try to figure them out, the more confused you become. Attachment will blind your eyes, and once you have an attachment in your heart, you will not be able to extricate yourself. Everything has a way of doing things, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such. ”

"It's a dream!"

Exactly, this is the verse from the Diamond Sutra translated by the previous high monk Kumaroshi. If there is no one who has experienced all the hardships of the world than Kumarosh, he was born noble and wise, but he had to endure all kinds of insults from those in power. He himself is noble because he was dirty, he learned to let go because he didn't refuse, and he was perfect because he was incomplete. You must know that life itself is flawed, a kind of imperfection, or perhaps it is because of the cracks that the sun can shine in. ”

"Life itself is an imperfect ......," Qiyun muttered, as if enlightened.

Hui An picked up a scroll of scriptures on the case and handed it to her: "Zhuohua, you are very smart, you must be able to break through the troubles in the red dust." This "Diamond Sutra" was transcribed by the poor nun and given to you. ”

Qiyun took the scripture in her hand and saluted her: "Thank you, Mrs. Shi." This scripture was copied by Shitai and forged by Shitai's painstaking efforts, how can Qiyun take it for himself? Qiyun will copy it on the same day, and after the transcription is completed, it will be returned to Zhao. ”

Hui An smiled and nodded, watching her walk away in the snow.
