"Hmph, little boy, let's go back to the palace, there is a miasma in the imperial garden today, don't wait." After speaking, he led the palace maid and eunuch to leave.

After Concubine Li walked away, Concubine Qi said, "I'll leave first." ”

I hurriedly spoke: "Concubine Qi, thank you for coming to the rescue." ”

"Nothing. Sister Yufei, let's play! I'll go back first. ”

"Sister, go slowly."

"Let's go, go to my palace." Concubine Yu and Yunyun led me to the dormitory, Concubine Yu lived in Yiyue Palace, and when I went in, I saw the ornaments inside, and I could see that the emperor was full of favor for Concubine Yu, and Concubine Yu looked like a Jiangnan woman.

"Wanwan, what did the emperor's uncle tell you? My aunt told me, and she told the emperor's uncle about it. Yunyun asked nervously.

"It's okay, can I still sit here and talk to you if I have something?"

"Oh, yes! It's okay, it makes me worry to death. ”

"It's almost lunchtime, and if you want to eat, you have to let the imperial dining room do it quickly." Concubine Yu said.

"yes, I almost forgot. Wanwan, what do you want to eat! ”

"Where have I eaten imperial food! Just take the idea! ”

"Well, then let's eat fragrant sesame venison patties, three fresh dragon and phoenix balls, monkey's head mushroom grilled shark fin, roast duck in the oven, ......"

"Yunyun, stop, stop, we can't eat so much." I hurried to stop her.

"Didn't they want you to taste more of the things in the Imperial Dining Room!" Yunyun said aggrievedly.

"Alright, alright, I got it." I said helplessly.

"Then tell me a new story, and I'll forgive you." Zhou Yunyun smiled slyly.

Okay, you're waiting for me here! "Okay, okay, just in time for me to tell you a new story."

"Then I will be blessed with Yunyun, she often mentions you to me, saying that you can cook, eat, raise silkworms, and tell stories, and your name is the most common thing to hear during this time."

"Concubine Yu's reputation is excessive."

"What are you talking about?" A man's voice came in, and it was the emperor.

"The concubine is the emperor."

"Yunyun meets the emperor's uncle."

"The people's daughter knocks on the emperor."

"Get up!"

"Your Majesty."

"Uncle Xie."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"It turns out that Yunyun and the daughter of the Wang family are here with Concubine Yu!" The emperor asked.

"If you go back to the emperor, Yunyun knows that her good sister is going to enter the palace today, and she specially asks the concubine to take her to me to play."

"Oh, I see. So what were you just talking about? ”

"Back to the emperor, it was Wan'er who wanted to tell a story just now!"

"Tell a story?"

"Uncle Emperor, you don't know, the story Wanwan told is very good."

"Oh, really?"

"Yes, yes, Uncle Emperor."

"Oh, then I want to hear it."

The folk girl said one: Once upon a time, there was a Yuanyin Temple, and many people went to worship the Buddha every day, and the incense was very prosperous. There is a spider on the beam in front of the temple that has made a web, and the spider has the nature of Buddha because it is nurtured by incense and devotional worship every day. After more than a thousand years of cultivation, the spider Buddha nature has increased a lot. One day, the Buddha came to Yuanyin Temple and was very happy to see that the incense was very prosperous here. When I was leaving the temple, I inadvertently looked up and saw a spider on the beam. The Buddha stopped and asked the spider: "You and I are finally fated to meet, let me ask you a question, to see what insights you have in your cultivation for more than a thousand years." What do you think? The spider was very happy to meet the Buddha and hurriedly agreed. The Buddha asked, "What is the most precious thing in the world?" The spider thought for a moment and replied, "The most precious things in the world are 'not obtained' and 'lost'." The Buddha nodded and left.

In this way, another 500 years passed, and the spider was still cultivating on the beams of the Yuanyin Temple, and its Buddha nature had greatly increased. One day, the Buddha came to the temple again and said to the spider, "Are you alright?" Do you have a deeper understanding of that question 500 years ago? "I think the most precious things in the world are 'not obtained' and 'lost'. The Buddha said, "If you think about it again, I will come to you again." ”

Another five hundred years passed, and one day, a strong wind blew, and the wind blew a drop of nectar onto the spider's web. The spider looked at the nectar and saw that it was crystal clear and beautiful, and suddenly loved it. The spider was happy to look at the nectar every day, and it felt that it was the happiest few days in two thousand years.

Suddenly, another gust of wind blew the nectar away. The spider suddenly felt that something had been lost, and felt very lonely and sad. At this time, the Buddha came again and asked the spider: "Spider, in the past five hundred years, have you thought about this question: what is the most precious thing in the world?" Thinking of the nectar, the spider still said to the Buddha, "The most precious things in the world are 'not obtained' and 'lost.'" The Buddha said, "Okay, since you have such an understanding, I will let you go to the world for a while." ”

In this way, the spider was reincarnated into a family of eunuchs and became a rich lady, and her parents named her Zhu'er. In a flash, the spider reached the age of 16 and had become a graceful girl, very beautiful and moving. On this day, the new champion Lang Ganlu gold list was inscribed, and the emperor decided to hold a celebration banquet for him in the back garden. During the banquet, many young girls came, including Zhu'er, and the emperor's little princess, Princess Changfeng. Zhuang Yuanlang performed poems and songs during the banquet, showing his talents, and all the girls present were impressed by him. But Spider was not nervous or jealous at all, because she thought that this was a marriage given to her by the Buddha. A few days later, as it happened, when Spider accompanied her mother to worship the Buddha, it happened that Ganlu also accompanied her mother. After worshipping the Buddha after the incense, the two elders spoke on the side. Spider and Ganlu came to the corridor to chat, and Zhu'er was very happy that she could finally be with the person she liked, but Ganlu did not show her affection for her. Spider said to Ganlu, "Don't you remember what happened on the spider web in Yuanyin Temple sixteen years ago? Ganlu was surprised and said, "Spider girl, you are very beautiful and very likable, but your imagination is a little richer. With that, he left with his mother.

When she got home, she thought to herself, "Since the Buddha arranged this marriage, why didn't he let him remember it?" Why doesn't Ganlu feel anything about me? A few days later, the emperor issued an edict ordering the new champion and Princess Changfeng to complete the marriage; Zhu'er and Prince Zhicao got married. This news was like a bolt from the blue to the spider, and she couldn't figure out how the Buddha would treat her like this. For a few days after learning the news, she did not eat or drink, and her life was in danger. When the prince Zhicao knew about it, he hurried over, threw himself on the side of the bed, and said to the dying spider: "Among the girls in the back garden that day, I fell in love with you at first sight, and I begged my father for him to agree. If you die, then I don't live either. With that, he picked up his sword and prepared to kill himself.

At that moment, the Buddha came and said to the soul of the spider that was about to emerge from its shell, "Spider, have you ever wondered who brought the nectar (sweet deer) to you?" It was brought by the wind (Princess Changfeng), and it was the wind that took it away in the end. Ganlu belongs to Princess Changfeng, and he is just an episode in your life. And the prince Zhicao was a small grass in front of the gate of Yuanyin Temple, he looked at you for 2,000 years and admired you for 2,000 years, but you never lowered your head to look at it. Spider, let me ask you again, what is the most precious thing in the world? When the spider heard these truths, she seemed to have an enlightenment, and she said to the Buddha, "The most precious thing in the world is not 'not obtained' and 'lost', but the happiness that can be grasped now." As soon as she finished speaking, the Buddha left, and the soul of the spider also returned, she opened her eyes, and saw the prince Zhicao who was about to kill herself, and immediately knocked down the sword and hugged the prince deeply

How unworthy is it that too many people in the world are stubbornly pursuing what they have not obtained or have lost, and give up the happiness that is now at their fingertips? The most precious thing in the world is not "unobtained" and "lost", but the happiness that can be grasped now. ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and they should still be quiet in the story I said, and the story of the Buddha can always touch people's hearts.

"Yes, the most precious thing in the world is to be able to grasp the happiness of the present." The emperor suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty." Concubine Yu looked at the emperor.

The emperor held Concubine Yu's hand and patted it gently.

"Wow, Wanwan. I didn't expect you to tell the story of Buddhism! Zhou Yunyun looked at me incredulously.

"The stories of the Buddha are all told to me by Master Yuanwu."

"Do you know Master Yuanwu?" The emperor looked at me suspiciously.

"The folk girl became friends with the master by chance, so she often went to chat with the master and listen to the master's stories." I explained.

"I see, I don't know how the master is doing lately?" The emperor asked.

"The master is well."

"Yes." The emperor nodded.

"Wanwan, my aunt and the emperor's uncle can understand the story you said, but I can't understand it! Tell me a story I can understand! ”

"This ......," I hesitated.

"Just tell you some interesting stories!" The emperor spoke.

Since the emperor has spoken, I'll tell you a story, but what to say? Dream of Red Mansions, no, it's a bit similar to the harem, the Three Kingdoms, no, there are Zhuge Liang's thirty-six plans in it, Journey to the West, it's not good, it's not suitable for the emperor and Concubine Yu to listen to. What do you say? Ah, I see, let's just say this.

"Then I'll tell the emperor a story."

"Oh, who is it?"

"This man is in a very distant place, and many people know him there."

"What's his name?"

"Chu Liuxiang."

"Chu Liuxiang?" The emperor said with a frown.

"After hearing his name, there are many people like you, the emperor, who are frowning."

"Oh, why?"

"Your Majesty, after you listen to me tell the story, you will know."

"Okay, let's hear it."
