The towering blue-gray courtyard walls around Ganye Temple imprison everything inside, and also block the prosperity and hustle and bustle of the outside world, making this place independent of the red dust, like a bystander, looking at the beings in Chang'an City lonely.

According to the "Tang Law", all the emperor's concubines, after the emperor's funeral, if they have children, they can go to the fiefdom with the heirs to support, and those who have no children need to take refuge in the Ganye Temple and become nuns. The ancient Buddha of the green lantern prays for the blessing of the Tang Dynasty.

Among Li Shimin's concubines, there are only a handful of princes. These concubines who had children to support, headed by Wei Guifei, were all arranged by Emperor Gaozong after Li Zhi ascended the throne and went to the fief with the princes, including Li Ke's biological mother Concubine Yang.

As a temple where the Tang Emperor placed the concubines of the former emperor and the Qing Dynasty, the scale and living conditions of the Ganye Temple are among the few in all the temples in Chang'an City.

All the concubines who have a position but no children have a separate Zen temple to live, and the abbot of the temple also arranged a special nun service for these concubines who meditate, although the Qing Xiu in the temple does not have the luxury and dignity in the Taiji Palace, but there is a different kind of leisure and quiet.

It's just that this kind of leisure and tranquility always seems to be a heavy tripod that presses people's hearts, forcing people to breathe!

In this cypress forest, covering the sky and the sun, the stele towers are numerous, and the forest is cold and lonely, all you can see are expressionless gray-clothed women, even at the age of youth, all they do is chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha, without a single superfluous word, quiet as a pool of stagnant water. Most of the palace concubines won't survive long before they will wither silently like spring flowers.

The merchants bypassed the front gate of the Ganye Temple from afar, heard the sound of the bell in the courtyard, and faintly heard the Sanskrit singing, thinking about where to enter.

Since the queen has arrived at the Ganye Temple, the temple must be heavily guarded at this time, and it is not easy to enter it.

Go around to the back door of the Ganye Temple, the merchant unexpectedly saw a half-covered small door, the door opened is a secluded alley, at this time there is an ox cart from the far alley mouth driving in, the ox cart is full of bamboo baskets leaking out a little green, the merchant only thought about it a little, and his heart breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, these nuns are only cultivating here, and they are far from cultivating to become immortals, so they still have to be like ordinary people when they eat, drink, and Lazar on weekdays! This ox cart must have come to deliver daily fresh vegetables to the master of the temple.

The merchant hurried two steps, and came to the old man who was driving the car outside the sight of Yu Linjun, and smiled without saying a word.

"Uncle! Today's dish is fresh! But it was sent to the master in the temple? ”

Xu is businessman's kind smile dispelled the old man's doubts, and a smug smile bloomed on his face that looked loyal and simple: "The vegetables grown by my old man Wu are the freshest in this city, and the masters in this temple love to eat, and the girl has a good eye!" ”

Seeing the old man's proud face, the merchant couldn't help but smile, and took the opportunity to speak: "Uncle Wu, seeing that you have delivered so many dishes today, I'm afraid I'm also a little tired, why don't I accompany you!" ”

When the old man heard this, he hurriedly stopped the ox cart and excused himself: "How is this good? The old man delivered it himself, and he was not tired. ”

Shang Shang smiled: "Do you know, the little girl has an elder, because her husband died early, she became a layman in this Ganye Temple, and today the little woman also came to visit, but I don't want to coincide with the queen to come to the temple to rejoice, but now I can't enter." Uncle, just be a good person and let the little girl go in with you! Just say that it is the younger generation of your family, and no one will doubt it. ”

The old man Wu looked at the merchant hesitantly, and saw that although her clothes were not gorgeous, she was also thoughtful, looking charming and lovely, with a smile on her face, she didn't look like a bad person, not to mention that she was a woman, and she felt a little unbearable in her heart.

"This ...... The queen doesn't think she will come every day, so it's okay for you to come another day, right? ”

Wu Laohan was a little hesitant, how noble is the queen mother? Since it is the queen mother here, the idle people must be avoided, will he get into trouble if he brings this woman in?

He is just a vegetable farmer, and if he accidentally angers the queen, it will be a capital crime of killing his head!

The merchant saw that Wu Laohan's old face was about to wrinkle into a chrysanthemum, and he somewhat understood his hesitation in his heart, so he comforted: "Uncle, I will not mess around, it is really because I will leave Chang'an with my husband tomorrow and go to Gaochang to sell goods. ”

After speaking, her eyes held back two tears, and she lowered her head slightly and bowed to the old man, but she was wearing a Hu suit, but this ceremony was a little strange.

Wu Laohan was a little strange to see her wearing a Hufu at the back door of Ganye Temple, but when he heard her say that she went to Gaochang to sell goods, he was relieved.

"Okay, it's convenient for the old man to do this with the girl today, but the girl still needs to be cautious, don't make trouble for the old man!"

Wu Laohan is also an honest man, and after two sentences, he asked the merchant to sit on the ox cart, and the two walked all the way to the back door of the Ganye Temple.

The nun who came to pick up the food was from the kitchen, with a thick skeleton, wearing a gray cloth monk's robe, but her face was very kind, and she didn't ask much when she saw Wu Laohan come in with a strange woman, but nodded at the merchant with a smile.

Yu Linwei, who was watching from the side, saw her nodding, so he didn't ask any more questions, waved his hand and let the ox cart enter the door.

The merchant followed the ox cart into the back kitchen of Ganye Temple and secretly wiped the fine sweat from his neck. It would be a lie to say that she was not nervous at all, if she was really seen through the traces, she would only use light skills to run away!

Helping Wu Laohan move the vegetable basket off the ox cart, the two retreated with the nun and stood under the porch.

Taking advantage of the fact that Wu Laohan and the maiden who received the vegetables were counting the money, the merchant took the opportunity to pull a passing Xiao Ni, his face was slightly red, and he said softly: "Little master, may I ask...... Where can I go to the toilet? ”

Xiao Ni was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red, and he pointed to the right front: "There!" ”

When Wu Laohan and the nun who picked up the vegetables turned their heads when they heard the sound, they only saw the back of Xiao Ni who had gone away, and when they looked at Shang Shang again, they only heard her say: "Uncle!" You go outside and wait for me in the alley first, and I'll come when I go!" ”

Taking advantage of the nun turning around, the merchant hurriedly winked at Wu Laohan, raised his chin again, and then turned around and walked hurriedly towards the place where Xiao Ni was pointing, looking anxious.

Wu Laohan's half-open mouth and the words that were about to be exported had to choke in his stomach, shook his head, and drove away with the ox cart.

The main hall of Ganye Temple is dedicated to the inspiration of great compassion and compassion to save the suffering and save the distress Guanyin Bodhisattva, which is also one of the few dojos dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva in Chang'an City.

At this time, the main hall of the Buddha incense is lingering, the four walls are hanging on the apricot yellow prayer flags on the ground, the Buddhist scriptures copied by cinnabar are dense, a piece of blood red is seen at a glance, it is gently swaying with the breeze penetrating into the half-open pane, the thousand-armed thousand-eyed Guanyin Bodhisattva Zhangliu golden body enshrined in the middle of the main hall is holding the Buddha treasure, the eyes are half-jawed, and the people under the feet are looking at the world lovingly.

The merchant and merchant hurried all the way in the temple, avoiding several groups of patrolling Yulin troops, and then approached the main hall of the temple, hidden in the prayer flags behind the gold of the main hall, standing silently against the wall, peeking at everything in the main hall through the gaps between the prayer flags.

Fortunately, the queen Feng drove in person, and the nuns in the temple were all restrained, and no one walked around the temple, which made her turn all the way easily.

It's just that because of this reason, she couldn't inquire about Wu Meiniang's Qing Xiu. According to the rules, concubines like Wu Meiniang, who were extremely favored not long before Li Shimin's death, also had their own separate meditation room.

At the moment, I can only watch by the side of the queen who has a bigger goal, as long as this person who is the mother of the world does not bump into another king in the world and make a death situation of the king and the king, then today's matter will be safely passed!

"Dang!" With the sound of a crisp copper bowl, a soft Buddha horn sounded in the hall: "Amitabha! Good, good, good! ”

The queen put her palms together, slowly stood up from the thin ball, raised her eyes and quietly stared at the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva in front of her, the Buddha incense in the copper furnace on the incense table was still burning, with some quiet fragrance permeating the entire hall, making people's hearts sink down, as if in the deepest seabed, unpredictable.

The abbot of Ganye Temple was on the side, wearing a gray-white monk's hat with his head slightly bowed respectfully, standing with one palm erected.

"Master Jing!"

The queen stretched out her hand to the apricot standing on the side and slowly turned around.

At this time, Xingrui wore a lotus lotus color, weaving a ruyi pattern thick skirt, and her beautiful moon-like face was hidden with joy, and she changed out of the same female official uniform in the palace, and she no longer looked like a miserable green palace maid in the palace.

"Are the concubines of the first emperor in the temple?" The soft sound was consistent, gently surrounding the empty hall.

There was no emotion in the queen's gentle words, and she was a little unsure of what she meant by asking. The Tang Dynasty has only been two generations now, and this imperial concubine is also the first generation to enter the temple and cultivate, and she is not sure how to treat it.

"Most of the laymen now practice with their hair, and only half of them shave their hair, but they will chant and pray to the Buddha every day, in order to ask for the mercy of my Buddha and bless me for ten thousand years in the Tang Dynasty." Jing Jing's words are impartial and decent.

"Where do the laymen live in the temple now? Can Master Jing take the main palace to have a look? Queen Wang said gently.

She had reservations about the former imperial concubines entering the temple for cultivation.

These women who have entered the palace are all people who have gone through glory and wealth, and they have cultivated penance in such a place, but they are afraid that they have just died early and lost their youth in vain.

She is also a woman, she has been married to the current emperor for a long time, but her knees are still empty, and she can't help but feel unrelated.

Maybe her present is her own future......

He whispered yes, then turned around and went to the outside of the hall first.

Xingrui looked at Queen Wang, she did not enter the palace as a concubine, so naturally she couldn't understand Queen Wang's psychology at this time. However, although he was a little puzzled, he still helped Queen Wang's elbow, followed Jing behind, and stepped out of the palace gate.

The merchant hidden behind the prayer flag breathed a sigh of relief, flashed out from behind the prayer flag, looked at the direction of the group of people who walked in front of the Huang Luo umbrella cover, only hesitated a little and then withdrew from the main hall, went around to a giant cypress behind the hall, dodged and jumped on the treetops, and rushed to the front of the three people.
