Since Concubine Hou Xian is light, there must be a reason, and she replied after the Queen Mother asked.

"It is naturally good for the queen mother to hand-pick Miao Baolin to serve by Liao Zhaoyuan's side, but this Miao Baolin is not very suitable."

"Why not?" The Queen Mother is even more unclear about this, how can the person she hand-picks not be suitable. Seeing that the Queen Mother asked again, Concubine Hou Xian let go of the hand holding the Queen Mother, and then stepped back and saluted and said: "Praying for blessing is related to the fortune of my Jiang country, although this matter has always been done by the queen mother, but the concubine as a harem concubine should share the worries of the queen mother." The queen mother's concubine summoned Cao Sitian of Si Tianjian at that time, thinking that Sister Liao was tired every year, and last year's new palace Miao Baolin grew up in the nunnery since childhood, thinking that it should also be able to share the worries of the mother and Sister Liao, but I didn't expect that Cao Sitian said that Miao Baolin's eight characters are mutually restrained today, and if she prays for blessings and recites, it may be useless, so the concubine is puzzled. ”

After speaking, he apologized for his sin, but begged the queen mother to confess his guilt for his own uninvited inquirement. These words and things have been said and done, and they have done this part, how could the Queen Mother blame her, she was taken aback at the time and said: "It's like this, if it weren't for your child's careful heart and asking that Cao Sitian to take a hexagram in advance, the mourning family would have committed a big taboo." If these eight characters are mutually restrained, it will be a disaster for my Jiang country. Fortunately, this child of yours is careful, otherwise it will be a sin to mourn the family. ”

Such a thing would rather be credible than not, since someone said it and it was said by Meng Taishi of the Taishi Bureau, it was even more nonsense, and the Queen Mother accepted Fang Cai's will and then said: "Since this is general, then forget about Miao Baolin, Liao Zhaoyuan, you still have to work hard this year." ”

"It is the duty of the concubine to pray for the blessing and health of my Jiang country, and the queen mother said that the hard work is not tormenting the concubine." hurriedly responded, Liao Zhaoyuan accepted the queen mother's decree, and Qin Shujiu also owed his body to respond.

Someone didn't give her such a good opportunity, Qin Shujiu knew it, but she didn't expect that for the sake of a treasure forest in her area, she would still be able to work Concubine Hou Xian to speak in person. Bringing out the Meng Taishi of the Taishi Bureau, it seems that Concubine Hou Xian can't see any possibility of pleasing the Queen Mother. But also, what the Queen Mother is looking forward to most is that there are a few more little princes in the palace, and she is a new concubine in the palace, and she is also young.

There are not many children in the palace, so they are not the heirs of their own people, which is absolutely unacceptable. Anyway, Qin Shujiu never thought of relying on the queen mother's favor to get Liqing's favor, so Concubine Hou Xian saved her a lot of trouble.

The queen mother and the four concubines walked at the front, walking towards the Buddha hall, and the concubines at the back followed one by one, and were slowly moving forward with everyone, who knew who stepped on the hem of the clothes behind him, and the hem of the clothes was stepped on from behind, and the hem of the clothes was stepped on from behind, and Qin Shujiu was unstable and fell directly to the ground. This fall startled the Queen Mother and the Fourth Concubine in front, so she stopped immediately, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The rest of the concubines hurriedly retreated, and Qin Shujiu asked the Queen Mother to see it before she got up. Why did Qin Shujiu fall while walking in a good manner? After the concubines retreated, only Su Die stepped forward to help her up, got up and hurriedly bowed to the guilt, Qin Shujiu didn't dare to look up at the Queen Mother.

Losing her demeanor in front of the palace is not something that a concubine should have, and the queen mother at this time frowned, and immediately asked, "But what's wrong?" The Queen Mother asked Qin Shujiu before she replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, it was the concubine who accidentally stepped on her skirt, which shocked the Queen Mother Luan, and hoped that the Queen Mother would be guilty." ”

If you accidentally stepped on the skirt, it was not the case, but Qin Shujiu had no evidence after all, if someone deliberately harmed himself for fear of attracting the anger of the Queen Mother, it would be a no, it would be better to make amends and lose all manners. The most important thing for concubines is their manners, but the queen mother didn't plan to be angry about such an important matter today, and then said.

"How could you be so careless?"

After saying this, he glanced at Qin Shujiu and then asked her to get up, and was about to enter the Buddha hall again, but heard someone say: "Miao Baolin is really careless, Concubine Fang Cai Xian Niangniang said that you don't agree with the eight characters today, since the eight characters don't match, you should be very careful, so as not to hurt yourself and disturb the queen mother." ”

The person who said this was Xu Luoxin, just now Qin Shujiu was still thinking about such a thing, how could this Xu Cai person be so quiet, but he didn't expect that now he would fall into the well. Just at her words at this time, Qin Shujiu felt that her fall had nothing to do with her.

Xu Luoxin's words made the Queen Mother stop again, looked at Qin Shujiu carefully, and then replied softly: "Doesn't the eight characters match today?" ”

Xu Luoxin didn't care about this, the most important thing was whether the Queen Mother would think of anything after listening to her words. Hearing the Queen Mother repeat the sentence "Eight characters do not match", Qin Shujiu was also uneasy in her heart, so she was worried about what the Queen Mother would think, but Wei Chongyi unexpectedly came out and said something.

"Queen Mother, sometimes a careless person in this line will lose his manners, and it should not be a big problem to come and disagree with those eight characters. My Lady Baolin didn't mean it, and I hope the Queen Mother won't be angry. As soon as she finished saying this, Wei Chongrong also came out to speak, and she excused Qin Shujiu.

The two of them have never intersected with Qin Shujiu, and this time they helped each other because they asked Liqing to hug the six princes and Princess Ningping because of their own words at the beginning of the previous year, although Qin Shujiu didn't think much about it at the time, but they also accepted Qin Shujiu's intentions, and now this gang can be regarded as a gift to return Qin Shujiu. The two sisters of the Wei family both spoke for Qin Shujiu, and the queen mother was not angry anymore, but when she was praying for blessings, some concubines lost their manners and fell on the palace, which always made the queen mother feel very peaceful, so she said immediately.

"Although it is not intentional, but this hall will still be punished if it loses its manners, and Cao Sitian said that Miao Baolin is not in line with the eight characters today, and it is more appropriate not to enter the Buddha hall. Stay and wait outside this temple. ”

"The concubine obeys the decree of the Queen Mother."

It is the responsibility of the concubine to pray for the Buddha, but now Qin Shujiu asked the queen mother to stay and not enter the Buddha hall, which is a punishment for Qin Shujiu, and it also makes people feel that Qin Shujiu cannot be recognized. Xu Luoxin was very happy there, raising his eyebrows and snorting coldly, although it was not direct, it also made Qin Shujiu see it really.

Sure enough, what happened just now has nothing to do with her?

Not making a noise does not mean that this matter is suppressed, Qin Shujiu already has his own calculations in his heart, and he has caused Qin Shujiu to stay outside this hall, who knows that Xu Cairen is still not satisfied, seeing that the Queen Mother punished Qin Shujiu, Xu Luoxin stepped forward and then said: "Queen Mother, although Miao Baolin is not allowed to enter the Buddha Hall because of the eight characters, but this kneeling prayer and chanting Buddha is a matter within the concubine's responsibility." Since Miao Baolin was raised in that nunnery since he was a child, the concubine thought that this scripture should be extremely familiar, otherwise let Miao Baolin chant the scriptures devoutly outside. ”

Xu Luoxin's words were clearly to find fault for Qin Shujiu, and Su Die was angry and wanted to kneel down but asked Chen Shuyi to stop him. Seeing her shake her head, Chen Shuyi signaled Su Die not to speak, after all, Qin Shujiu lost his demeanor in front of the palace, which was unacceptable for the Queen Mother, plus Xu Cairen was the daughter of Mrs. Xu, and she was already the concubine approved by the Queen Mother, if Su Die stepped forward and spoke, not only would it be inevitable but she would also blame the Queen Mother on herself. Chen Shuyi pulled like this, Su Die couldn't say anything, she could only look at the Queen Mother and nodded.

"Xu Cairen's words are very reasonable."

Can't enter the Buddha hall, but the duty of the concubine is still there, Xu Luoxin's words The queen mother also agreed, so she issued an edict to let Qin Shujiu wait outside the hall to chant and worship the Buddha until the end of the blessing in the inner hall. Xu Luoxin's words, the Queen Mother was very satisfied, and she handed over the matter of Qin Shujiu's chanting to her, and then took the concubines into the Buddha hall. When the queen mother and the concubines entered the palace, Xu Luoxin walked to Qin Shujiu's side, and looked at Qin Shujiu, who lowered his head slightly and looked directly at her, Xu Luoxin smiled.

"My Lady Baolin is really careless, how can this Queen Mother lose her manners in front of her, look, this has made the Queen Mother angry."

"Fang Cai is not the concubine, it shocked the Queen Mother."

"It's a shame that you still know that Fang is your own, and even the Queen Mother's Luan drive is really hateful." glanced at her fiercely, the hatred in her eyes made people feel a little numb, Xu Luoxin is a grudge-holder, and she hasn't vented her anger about the grievances she gave her in front of Liqing before. Now Qin Shujiu can be regarded as falling into her hands, and she should take this opportunity to toss Qin Shujiu.

He threw up his sleeves and looked at Qin Shujiu carefully, and after a while, Xu Luoxin said: "Since the Queen Mother said that this chanting is arranged by me, then I am annoyed that I am annoyed that I am kneeling here and praying for the prosperity of my big Jiang Guotai." As soon as these words came out, the palace people took Tuanpu over and wanted Qin Shujiu to kneel on it, Tuanpu was taken over, but before it was put on the ground, he asked Xu Luoxin to stop him. Stretched out his hand to stop the palace man, and then pinched the lump with his hand, Xu Luoxin smiled.

"Miao Baolin has grown up in the nunnery since he was a child, and it should be common to come here to kneel and chant sutras, and it is not necessary to come to this group of pu for things that are often done. Besides, praying for my Jiang Guo should be pious, if you kneel on this lump of pu, it will always make people feel that the sincerity is not enough, otherwise, how about Miao Baolin kneeling directly on the ground? ”

It's spring, but the ground is still cold, and it's not a comfortable thing to kneel on the ground and chant sutras, not to mention that the ground is already hard, and it hurts to kneel down. Xu Luoxin's mind even knew the palace people on the side, not to mention Qin Shujiu. This person just found an opportunity to toss himself, and this method is also vicious enough, but the fault is attributed to herself, even if she argues, she can't match her, so Qin Shujiu can only swallow this grievance again.

After bowing, Qin Shujiu responded: "The concubine understands." After answering, he knelt down directly, and his knees hurt from the hard ground, but Qin Shujiu's face was still as usual. The usual indifference made people even more unhappy, obviously they should have won, but looking at Qin Shujiu's untimid expression at this time, Xu Luoxin's heart was unhappy for a while, and he took the scriptures from the hands of the palace people, and then pretended to unintentionally fall to the ground not far from Qin Shujiu, Xu Luoxin said.

"Oops, I was really careless, I didn't take it properly and dropped it on the ground, but My Lady Baolin is also close, otherwise pick it up yourself."

Kneeling here would have suffered Xu Luoxin's general practice, if it weren't for the suffering he had suffered since childhood, Qin Shujiu couldn't help it. No matter how she is asked to take the opportunity to practice, Qin Shujiu can't have any complaints, after all, it is up to her to arrange that is the meaning of the Queen Mother, if there is a complaint, wouldn't it be equivalent to having a complaint about the Queen Mother's will, so that people can do something bigger, Qin Shujiu can't do it.

He also gritted his teeth and held on, Qin Shujiu still didn't make a sound, but bent down and took the scripture that had fallen in front of him, and then knelt on the ground and opened the scripture and began to read. If she didn't do it, Qin Shujiu gritted her teeth and didn't react, and she was disgusted with such a woman, and she wanted to practice it ruthlessly, but the Queen Mother and all the concubines were still waiting for her in the Buddha Hall, and it would be a bad thing to ask the Queen Mother to wait for a long time. In the end, he could only look at Qin Shujiu fiercely, and then sneered, Xu Luoxin then ordered.

"It's very boring in this room, come on, open the doors of this palace, it can be regarded as giving Miao Baolin ventilation so as not to be stuffy for a while, but it is uncomfortable. The Queen Mother ordered him to recite the scriptures outside, and if he accidentally got bored, take care of your bones. ”

"The slave and maid understand."

Xu Luoxin's orders were to be listened to even if the palace people of the Immortal Palace were to listen, even if all the doors of the palace were opened, the wind in this spring day was still a little cold, and it blew in along the open palace door, revealing a hint of coldness. Kneeling on the ground and blowing the cold wind outside, Qin Shujiu was silently reciting the scriptures. It is also a practice of Qin Shujiu, Xu Luoxin hurriedly walked towards the Buddha hall, with the queen mother chanting and praying for blessings is a good thing, if you can win the queen mother's favor, Your Majesty is afraid that it will be more favorable.

With this in mind, Xu Luoxin hurried over, while Qin Shujiu knelt alone in this side hall, silently reciting scriptures in the cold wind.
