Chapter 23: Worshipping the Buddha
The eldest aunt seemed very kind along the way, and her words reflected her concern for Aunt Han.
It's just that along the way, the eldest aunt has a certain distance from Yan Jiu, walking one after the other, and the eldest aunt's words and Yan Jiu rarely reply.
Because for this woman, Yan Jiu felt that she was terrible. I still remember that in the last life, Wei Guifei, who was favored by the harem for a while, was finally forced by the queen to be martyred alive after the emperor's death because she had no heirs, and this attention was mentioned by the eldest aunt.
For a middle-aged woman who is nearly forty years old and has not been married so far, it is rare that her heart will not be distorted.
"Okay, here, you follow this palace maid to the backyard to find Princess Da Liao."
Yan Jiu couldn't help but look at it in his heart, how could this matter be so simple?
The eldest aunt smiled: "You take her to find Princess Da Liao, remember that the scriptures I gave you will be given to them." The palace maid glanced up at the eldest aunt slightly, there was a trace of fear in her eyes, and then she nodded very quickly, and dragged Yan Jiu to the Buddha altar specially set up by the queen in the backyard.
"Kid? You're from Aunt Han. The palace maid's voice was extremely small, if it weren't for the fact that there was no one here and it was extremely quiet, Yan Jiu was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hear her voice.
"Hmm!" After Yan Jiu answered, the little palace maid slowed down a little, and said slowly: "The emperor's and Da Liao's envoys will also come to see in a while, some of the things in the Buddhist scriptures are readable, some are not, and I can't say more." ”
Yan Jiu nodded, thinking--some can't read? What's unreadable?
Just as he was thinking about that, he heard the sound of two women talking not far away. Yan Jiu looked up, and the one standing in front of him was Princess Ruoshui of Da Liao, she was wearing a white light gauze Yun Dunzi skirt, and the decorations around her body were elegant and quiet, and the person she was standing opposite was the originally scheduled crown princess Li - Li Li.
Li Li is very different from this Ruoshui in terms of appearance, one is like a cold plum that blooms slowly on a cold night, proud and beautiful, and the other is a delicate and rich peony among the ten thousand flowers, the flower is rich and rich, but it has a special charm. The person who is like a cold plum should be Ruoshui, and that delicate flower is Li Li.
As the daughter of a well-known concubine in a scholar's family, Li Li is simply a person who is often mentioned in Kyoto when he has nothing to do.
At the age of fifteen, he not only outwitted his mother-in-law, making his mother change from a noble concubine to a mother-in-law, but also provoked an incident and married his sister away.
Although Mr. Li has been flaunting his daughter on the outside, no one is willing to take the dowry, and only the equally capable queen appreciates this woman and thinks that she must be a different person in the future.
Today's Li Li has no adult eyes like a deep well, although her body is simple and elegant, but it is difficult to hide her delicate figure, although her charming eyes and peach cheeks are not as tender as Ruoshui, but they are also unique.
"See Princess Ruoshui, see Miss Li." The palace maid said loudly, as if to remind Yan Jiu behind her.
"See Princess, Miss Li." Yan Jiu echoed.
Li Li's gaze took the lead in wandering on Yan Jiu, her gaze was very stinging, Yan Jiu was very uncomfortable, looked over slightly, just as she raised a smile, she happened to look over, I have to say that she is a tricky person. Even this beautiful visit makes people uncomfortable.
"That's what the queen said...... Dexterous! It! Person! Li Li's words seemed to have explained her attitude.
The palace maid over there nodded, leaned back, and after a while, a eunuch sent a thick Buddhist scripture and said with a smile: "The two masters have been waiting for a long time, this is the queen mother asked the slave to send it." ”
Li Li waved his hand like a master, and Ruoshui walked over to Yan Jiu, his tone was gentle, and he said with a hint of familiarity between gentleness: "Have we met, I think you are so familiar." ”
"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, we have seen it at the Buddha Feeding Place." Yan Jiu and Ruoshui are friends in the world, and this kind of fate is slowly fermented by the kind of familiarity that arises as soon as they meet.
Ruoshui Xin came to him with a smile and said, "Somehow, seeing you is like seeing a sister who has been separated for a long time." She said it sincerely, and there was also a piece of sincerity in her eyes, Yan Jiu raised his head and smiled slightly, and at this time, Li Li's gaze looking at Ruoshui happened to be in Yan Jiu's view.
It was a kind of victor's rebelliousness, but the jealousy in her eyes was funny.
"Princess Ruoshui, let's go into the house and read the Buddhist scriptures!" Li Li called, but his words were a little intimate.
"Okay." Ruoshui said and looked at Yan Jiu lightly, and the slight smile made the country and the city palpitate.
This ritual Buddha platform is the most elegant in the entire queen's palace, Yan Jiu raised his eyes and looked at it, and the five precepts and ten evils, ten goodness and eight sufferings of the Buddhist family were written on the wall.
But the strange thing is that the evil results of the killing column have been cleaned up, Yan Jiu remembers that this thing is a copy of Yan Da to be changed every year, and every time he writes it, it is written well, why is there a section missing for no reason.
At this time, Li Li next to him smiled and said: "It is said that it is ten evils, but I think they are all inevitable." ”
Ruoshui looked at it and shook her head, she had never had any good feelings about indiscriminate killing of innocent people, so she knew the first evil result of killing, because she remembered that she didn't take a second look at the things written on the wall, and looked at the Buddhist scriptures in her hand.
Li Li was not embarrassed to see that no one took care of her, so she picked up a copied scripture book from the table next to her, handed it to Yan Jiu, and said with a light smile: "Let's read this later!" ”
The reason for this royal reading of Buddhist scriptures is because of the emperor, it is said that one day the emperor had a nightmare at night, and it was extremely terrifying, and it was a Buddhist lay disciple who had been following the emperor to tell the emperor for a night before the Buddha was relieved, but no one ever saw that person again in the future.
Yan Jiu opened the book, and what caught her eye was the remarks of the great killing consequences, she smiled slightly, and now she understood what the palace maid told her not to do.
I looked at it carefully and looked at it carefully, and found that she had never read this article before, and it was rare, but it was like a person's own summary of the remarks, although it seemed to be nothing unique, but if you met it with the emperor's life, this thing, as long as you read it, will definitely give you a big crime of rebellion.
Yan Jiu cautiously took a few steps forward, his eyes swept over the book in Naruo's sailor's hand, and the clarity in his heart was a little more.
"What's wrong?" Ruoshui saw that Yan Jiu had been touching his stomach with his little hands, and hurriedly asked.
Yan Jiu said: "I want convenience. ”
Ruoshui was about to tell the palace maid next to her to take Yan Jiu there, but at this time, Yan Jiu's little hand pulled her tightly and said, "Is the princess going with me?" Good no good? ”
Ruoshui was strange, he didn't want to refuse her.
Li Li didn't care, his eyes glanced lightly, and he didn't say anything.
And when he arrived at the thatched house, Ruoshui was waiting outside the house, and he heard what Yan Jiu inside had been carrying......
"What are you carrying?" Ruoshui asked.
There was a faint crying voice from Yan Jiu, and she said slowly: "It was all given to me by that sister just now, although reading Buddhist scriptures is reading, but I can't read the book for a while, and I haven't seen it before, so I'm so nervous now." ”
Ruoshui smiled: "You can tell me, I will help you." "Wakasui is best known for her memory, no matter what she remembers, she can remember it quickly.
She thought that it was not impossible to give this child a little reminder when the time came, although this was a simple arrangement for the queen to worship the Buddha, but whoever let the emperor and the messenger come to listen, this time it was not simple.
"One, there is no intent to kill, compassion for all sentient beings, no cruelty to wriggling and the like; Two. There is no greed, thinking of generosity, but saving (qiān) greed; Cultivating Sanskrit practice, not for evil desires......" Yan Jiu recited the authentic Buddhist doctrine that she had memorized before.
Ruoshui over there forgot what she had just seen in order to help this girl, and concentrated on reciting what Yan Jiu said.
