"Grandma Sun, she hasn't come yet?"

"Sixth aunt and grandmother, the Red Lotus Girl is already waiting for you in the side hall."

"Is there really a red lotus mark on her eyebrows?"

"I don't know if she was born, but everyone rumors that she is the reincarnation of the goddess who holds the red lotus sandalwood burner in front of the Buddha. Today, she is the Dharma Protector of the Great Puji Temple. The old slave just heard the little nun of the Liuli Nunnery say that the owner of their nunnery, Master Huiyi, would call her Uncle Ancestor. ”

"Huh? Really? This concubine just saw that the old nun of Huiyi must be in her sixties, right? How old is the Red Lotus Girl? Is it timely? ”

"She is leading the practice, and she is not yet in time, but she should be twelve or thirteen years old."

"Tsk! What a big sister-in-law! Let's go, this concubine is only afraid that she can't afford to be lazy! ”

"Sixth aunt, you really love to be funny! Looking at this Yuyan Mansion, which other lady can be more noble than you? Even in the land of Yuchuan County, you have to be one of the top three valuable people! ”

This is the pure glazed hermitage on the mountain of Yuyan under the jurisdiction of Yuyan Prefecture, and one of the holy places of Buddhism in Yuchuan County. The Red Lotus Girl placed an order here, representing the Great Puji Temple of the Buddha Kingdom of the East China Sea to participate in the centennial celebration of the establishment of the Ci'en Temple in Yuyan Mountain.

For the sake of the three-pillar incense and eighteen hand-copied Buddhist scriptures she brought from the East China Sea Buddha Kingdom, I don't know how many dignitaries and nobles came to ask to see her in the past few days, but she refused on the pretext. But now, she is about to meet the princess of Yuyan County.

The pink lips took a sip of fragrant tea gently, and Zong Zhengke in the side hall lowered his eyes, looking like an ancient well. The conversation between the master and the servant in the main hall did not fall into her ears, but she didn't seem to hear it, and only thought about the intention of the princess in her heart.

Princess Sun is only seventeen years old this year, and two years ago, she married the fifty-five-year-old Yuyan County King as her step-concubine.

She is at a prime age, and she is even younger than the princes and brothers of the palace. In order to still enjoy glory and wealth in the future, she really wants to give birth to a concubine in order to seek the position of the prince of the county. Her mother's family knew her thoughts very well, so her mother sent her henchman Sun Mama to specially remind her - asking Venerable Su Hui to cut off the future with the eyes of heaven.

Estimating that someone should come, Zong Zhengke slowly wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, stood up, folded his hands, lowered his eyebrows and gently said the Buddha's name: "Maitreya Supreme!" ”

Princess Sun's pair of graceful jade feet happened to fall on the threshold of the side hall, and when she heard this low Johor horn, she subconsciously raised her eyes and couldn't help but be stunned.

It was the summer afternoon when the sun was at its strongest, but Princess Sun didn't feel the heat at all. Dressed in a gray fluttering robe, with black hair simply tied behind her head with a gray cloth belt, the girl stands slim in the side hall, like a pool of cool cold springs, which can make people feel extremely refreshing and cool in this hot summer.

She hung her head slightly, and only a small line of her neck was exposed from her clothes, but it was thrilling and white as jade. She folded her palms and had a small string of black Buddhist beads hanging between her fingers. White jade hands, dark Buddha beads. White to the extreme, black to the extreme.

Princess Sun couldn't help but look down at her hands. She was born in a family surnamed Sun in Yuchuan County, and her family has titles, official positions, and money. Since she was a child, she has been pampered, and her slender fingers have never touched the spring water. But her hands, compared to the other party's ice-carved hands, are simply rotten mud and mutton fat and jade.

Extremely unhappy in her heart, Princess Sun proudly raised her chin, with a gust of fragrant wind, passed Zong Zhengke with reserved steps, and sat down directly on the main seat of the side hall. The grandmother behind her was scorched, and she wanted to say anything, but it was too late, so she had to hurry up and follow.

Zong Zhengke still lowered his head, his body turned with Princess Sun, and he pronounced the Buddha's horn again, and saluted with a slight bow: "The Red Lotus Girl has seen the princess Niangniang, may the Buddha bless the Niangniang with good luck!" ”

Princess Sun's face was gloomy, and she was speechless. I secretly said in my heart, this sister-in-law is also bold, and she doesn't respect or worship this concubine! With a slight movement of her elbows, she twisted her head, and saw Grandma Sun killing chickens and wiping her neck. Only then did she reluctantly squeeze out a smiling face, and said in a harmonious voice: "Excuse me, Venerable Chilian, hurry up and excuse me." But he would never get up and return the salute.

Zong Zhengke thanked him and slowly raised his head to look at Princess Sun. can enter the eyes of the king of Yuyan County, and he did not hesitate to demote the previous princess to a concubine, this little princess was really born with the color of captivating the country and the city. It's a pity that such a young beauty has to commit herself to the old man of her grandparents.

However, seeing that this little princess is full of spring breeze and is wearing gold and jade all over her body, I am afraid that she does not care about this. Also, princess of the county, how noble! How many princesses did the Tianxing Dynasty have?

As soon as she saw the other party's face, Princess Sun immediately became calm. It's just because this Buddhist Venerable with a good complexion has an ordinary face. Princess Sun's attention was instantly attracted by a red lotus mark burning like a flame on the other party's forehead, as for whether the eyes were big or small, and whether the nose was high or short...... Didn't pay attention at all.

"Venerable Red Lotus, please take a seat." When her heart calmed down, Princess Sun's attitude became really kind. He repeatedly asked the maid to serve good tea, took out the snacks given by the palace, and asked Zong Zhengke for a while.

After a long time, Princess Sun made her intention clear: "The nunnery is bitter, and the concubine looks at the age and appearance of the Venerable, as if the concubine is her own sister, and it is distressing to look at it." Why don't you move and stay in the palace for a few days? ”

Zong Zhengke stared at Princess Sun without blinking, but Princess Sun was not annoyed, and she stopped making a sound, allowing her to look at it so boldly. In a moment, Princess Sun saw that Zong Zhengke's face was a little whiter, her lips were a little lighter, and the fiery red lotus mark on her forehead seemed to be a real flame swaying and burning, and she knew that she was about to have a result.

Slowly closing his eyes, Zong Zhengke lowered his head and gently twisted the Buddhist beads, and whispered Buddhist scriptures. It took a long time for her to open her eyes again and whisper: "After tomorrow, if there is a fate, the Red Lotus Girl will come to the door to ask for trouble." ”

Princess Sun was stunned for a moment, she really didn't know why, so she asked, "Can Your Holiness explain in detail?" "Although she didn't get to burn the third pillar of incense in the Temple of Mercy and Grace, Baba came to burn the first three pillars of incense today. At the morning puja, she also donated 5,000 taels of silver incense money very generously.

Zong Zhengke's eyebrows were indifferent, and he shook his head slowly: "The Buddha said, don't say it." ”

That daring, 10,000 taels of silver tickets, just changed these vague words? According to Princess Sun's temper, if she doesn't make the immature Venerable in front of her one hundred and seventy or eighty small appearances, she will not be the supreme and noble princess of the county!

But! Brought by Grandma Sun, in the mother's handwritten letter, Ritter told that this little Venerable can never afford to offend! Don't say 10,000 taels to ask her to look at the face and cut off the future, if you don't have that Buddha fate, no matter how much money you have, you won't even be able to see her true face!

On this trip, Princess Sun's mother first asked someone to send a letter from Master Zhiming, the presiding officer of Guang'en Temple, a famous ancient temple in Yuchuan Prefecture, to Venerable Suhui. After getting the letter, Princess Sun gave 10,000 taels of incense money to the Qingjing Liuli Nunnery in the name of the Yuyan County Palace, so that she could really meet with the Venerable Su Hui, who is said to have a great vision of heaven.

Zong Zhengke kept silent and said no more, and Princess Sun had no choice but to swallow her anger. I heard that the eldest princess of Qinghe loves this girl very much, and she gets along with her on an equal footing regardless of her identity, and is known as forgetting the New Year. No matter how noble she is, she can't compare to the emperor's aunt and sister-in-law.

Just when Princess Sun thought that this trip was fruitless, she suddenly heard Zong Zhengke say softly: "If the princess is a devout disciple of my Buddha, my Buddha will naturally bless the princess with all her wishes." This hand-copied Buddhist scripture is written by the Venerable Gaye under the seat of my teacher, if the princess wants to succeed, she also hopes to persuade the prince to pay tribute and sincerely chant it every day. She slowly pulled out a scroll of fragrant Buddhist scriptures from the sleeves of her wide robe and held it with both hands.

Princess Sun was still at a loss, but Mama Sun was overjoyed. She didn't suspect anything about Venerable Su Hui's request that the prince also worship the Buddha. The princess wants to give birth to a son, how can she succeed without the prince? This Venerable Su Hui really opened his heavenly eyes, and when he saw it, he knew what they were asking for, and his true name was worthy of it.

Mama Sun didn't care about Princess Sun, who was always childish, so she hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down in front of Zong Zhengke, respectfully took the Buddhist scriptures with both hands, kowtowed, thanked her again and again, and said: "Venerable Dharma, how can believers and others not obey it." The believers and others are all believers in the Buddha, and when they go back, the believers must pay tribute to the Buddha every day and sincerely chant the Buddhist scriptures. The princess will also persuade the prince to worship the Buddha together! ”

Zong Zhengke once again praised the name of Maitreya Buddha, no longer took care of Princess Sun's master and servant, and left the hall by himself. Princess Sun blinked a pair of autumn water eyes, looked at Grandma Sun, and finally reacted, slowly showing a look of surprise, and her voice trembled slightly: "Grandma, Grandma Sun, the Red Lotus Girl means ......"

"Sixth aunt and grandmother!" Mother Sun got up and was so anxious to shake Princess Sun's cherry mouth, "Silence, silence!" Auntie, good princess, Your Holiness hasn't gone far yet! The eldest princess of Qinghe, no matter who has come before or after, has never called her Dharma name with a big grin, and always respects the Venerable Su Hui. You just ...... Hey! It's good to call the old slave how to live! ”

Princess Sun's eyes were round, and she pulled Grandma Sun's big hand down, pouting and pouting her little mouth and constantly pulling the handkerchief, opening her mouth and wanting to say a few words, but in the end she couldn't bear it.

Mama Sun trotted all the way to the door of the side hall, only to see a few ancient cypress branches and leaves outside the hall moving lightly, Zong Zhengke had already gone far, so he turned around and hugged Princess Sun, and said with a smile: "Good aunt, don't worry, you can say whatever you want in private, this is in front of you, you still have to give people a little face." ”

Princess Sun was quite unimpressed, Liu Ye'er raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, there are a lot of concubines." When she was almost done, the concubine gave the prince a gift, and sent a small sedan chair to invite her into the house, so that she could read the scriptures for the concubine for a few days, and give her ......" She gently rubbed her lower abdomen and said triumphantly, "The little prince prays." ”

You're welcome! The top powers in the world are at least one palm, and the Tianxing Dynasty is not ranked, and the national strength is medium at best. And even if they traveled to the most powerful iron-blooded Great Qin Empire, the Great Venerables of the East China Sea Buddha Kingdom were often regarded as honored guests by the Ying royal family.

In the land of a county in the little Tianxing country, even the eldest princess of Qinghe and the princess of Yuchuan did not have such a big face to let the dignified Suhui Venerable personally chant the scriptures and pray for blessings, not to mention that she was just a princess of the county? In this regard, Mama Sun only dared to slander in her heart, but she smiled and agreed on her face.

It seemed that laughter could still be heard, and Zong Zhengke, who was leaving through the Hanging Flower Gate, paused slightly, and the corners of his lips curled slightly.

This princess Sun should have a pregnancy reaction in more than ten days. It's a pity that if it were according to the plot of her previous life, she would have given birth to the twenty-seventh son of the king of Yuyan County, and then died of a postpartum blood collapse. Her son will also be "seriously ill and die" before the month.

However, with her Suhui Venerable Red Lotus Girl, this poor mother and son can't die. Not only can't he die, maybe in the future, this child may still be able to sit on the throne of the county.

However, this child will be destined to become a posthumous child.

King Yuyan County, Buddha said, on the third day of the first month of this month, the gates of hell will be open to you!
