Chapter XXXVIII A Chance Encounter with the Prince
Good afternoon, everyone, today's fourth update, I hope you like it! Do you think that's the end of today? NONONO is coming in the evening!! I'm a divider-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frightened, due to inertia, I had a direct intimate contact with the earth, and embraced the earth with my glorious face down. Fortunately, my sister has internal strength to protect her body, otherwise she would have been injured. I got up and saw that the person who had come was richly dressed, about ten years old, and it was supposed to be the fourth prince.
"See the Four Princes." I said.
"Who are you? Why haven't I seen it. The fourth prince spoke.
"Back to the fourth prince, the minister is the royal storyteller, today at the order of the Queen Mother, enter the palace to tell stories to relieve boredom."
"The royal storyteller? When and why haven't I heard this? ”
"Back to the fourth prince, this incident has only happened recently, the prince studies hard every day, of course he won't care about such a trivial matter." I said with a slap on the back.
"Yes, that's right." The Fourth Prince nodded.
"Four princes, your subordinates will retire first."
"Yes." But the fourth prince thought it was wrong again, "Slow." ”
"Fourth prince, please give me something to command."
"This prince asks you, why did you get here?"
"Your Majesty walked along the path beside the Imperial Lake, and before you knew it, you were here."
"Well, next time remember, don't sit on this swing, if the eighth princess sees it, you will be in trouble." The Four Princes kindly reminded me.
"Thank you for reminding the four princes, your majesty remembers, and your majesty will leave first."
"Hey, wait. Don't you know how to tell a story? ”
"Yes, the Fourth Prince."
"Is there a little story about that, let's hear it?"
"I don't know what the four princes want to hear."
"It's a little fun."
"Well, the minister told a little story: once a small country came to a country called China, and paid tribute to three identical Jin people, and the golden wall was brilliant, which made the emperor very happy. But this small country is not kind, and at the same time comes up with a question: Which of the three golden people is the most valuable?
The emperor thought of many ways, and invited jewelers to inspect them, weigh them, and see the workmanship, all of which were exactly the same. What to do? The messenger is still waiting to report back. It's a big country, you can't even understand this little thing, right?
Finally, there was an old minister who abdicated that he had a way.
The emperor invited the envoy to the main hall, and the old minister confidently took three straws and plunged them into the ear of the first golden man, and the straw came out of the other ear. The straw of the second golden man fell directly out of his mouth, and the third golden man, after the straw went in, fell into the stomach without any sound. Lao Chen said: The third golden man is the most valuable! The messenger was silent, and the answer was correct. ”
"How is this true?" The fourth prince asked curiously.
"The Four Princes, this story tells us that the most valuable person is not necessarily the person who can speak the most. God gave us two ears and a mouth, which was meant to let us listen more and talk less. Being a good listener is what a mature person has. ”
"So that's it, interesting. I didn't expect you to have a few more talents. ”
"The four princes praised it falsely."
"Fourth brother."
Looking back, there are 2 people, it should be the eldest prince and the second prince.
"Big brother, second brother, you came back so early today."
"Well, if you have nothing to do today, you will come back early. Who is this man? The eldest prince spoke.
"Your Majesty Wang Wan'er, participate in the eldest prince and the second prince."
"Wang Wan'er, oh, it turns out that you are the royal storyteller who was sealed by my father two days ago." The second prince said.
"Back to the words of the second prince, it's really a subordinate."
"This prince sees if you are telling a story to the imperial brother just now, then tell me and the imperial brother one too!"
"Well, this ......" I looked at the second prince, and then at the fourth prince and finally looked at the eldest prince, their expressions were, you say! Well, it's worthy of a dad, and the expressions are so similar.
"This prince heard from his father, you have a lot of insights into Buddhist culture, so I will use a story to say what life is like tea, and an empty cup is right." The eldest prince spoke.
"Then the ministers will tell you a story, in a continent far away from here, there is a country called Tang, the end of the Tang Dynasty and the five dynasties, the heroes competed, and the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere. In order to subdue people's hearts, the king of Min prayed for the eternal stability of the country, and also in order to repent of the bad karma of killing innocent people, he began to believe in Buddhism. He once achieved the feat of shaving 20,000 people, and successively invited the great Zen masters of Xuefeng Yicun, Gushan Shenyan, and Wuyi Koubing to serve as national teachers, teaching them Buddhism and guiding them to the maze.
One day, the King of Min visited the ancient Buddha of Kubing in the West Lake of Fuzhou and asked for a strategy for governing the country.
No matter how good the King of Min is, the ancient Buddha has remained silent and only cares about drinking tea.
Although King Min doesn't like to drink tea, the Ancient Buddha still adds tea to King Min's cup from time to time.
Seeing the tea in King Min's cup overflowing, the Ancient Buddha still added tea to King Min's cup from time to time.
King Min was surprised when he saw the tea flowing all over the table, so he asked, "Master, the cup is already full, why do you need to add tea?" ”
The Ancient Buddha was still silent and continued to add tea to him.
King Min seemed to have an understanding, so he drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.
The Ancient Buddha still filled King Min's teacup and asked, "Do you know how to drink tea?" ”
King Min replied, "No." ”
The ancient Buddha said, "Then let's learn to drink tea first." ”
King Min asked curiously: "Do you still have to learn to drink tea?" ”
The ancient Buddha said: "Your heart is like this cup, it is already full, if you don't drink the tea and empty the cup, how can you hold something else?" ”
In this way, the king of Min finally understood the Zen meaning, suddenly realized, and began to study the tea ceremony, and from drinking tea to understand the way to govern the country.
Isn't it? Only an empty cup can hold water, only an empty house can live in, and only an empty valley can make a sound...... The usefulness of each container lies in its emptiness.
There is a way: the sea is inclusive, and tolerance is great; The sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high for the birds to fly. Emptiness is a measure and mind, emptiness is the possibility and premise of existence, and emptiness is the initial cause of existence, therefore, there are often sayings in Buddhist scriptures that "there is emptiness and everything" and "vacuum is wonderful". Visible emptiness is the highest state of life.
Life is like tea, if you have an empty cup, you will have endless good tea, and you will have endless joy and emotion. ”
"Okay, it's worthy of being the royal storyteller personally appointed by my father, it seems that this prince underestimates you." The eldest prince said.
"Your Majesty is ashamed, in fact, this story was told by Your Majesty to Master Yuanwu, not by Your Majesty himself." I just hurriedly moved Master Yuanwu out.
"I see." The princes nodded their heads.
"Princes, if there is no matter for your subordinates, your subordinates will retire first."
"Let's go down!" The eldest prince waved his hand. I retreated, alas, it was too tiring to get along with these people in the palace, and it was better to be in a small place, and I was a little homesick.
"I didn't expect this little girl to be funny." The second prince said.
"Yes, second brother, you don't know, she also told me a little story at the beginning, and it is also a hidden mystery."
"Oh, then you tell us about it." The eldest prince said.
The three princes said as they walked towards the East Garden, where all the underage princes lived, and the princess lived in the West Garden.
I followed the same path and returned to the Izuki Palace. Soon night came, and after having dinner with Concubine Yu, he returned to his temporary room. The degree of food and clothing in the palace will make many people yearn for it, and many people want to climb the dragon bed in the palace to gain power, although these are things I don't need, and I also look down on such people, but in this era, it may be the best choice for them.
Just when I was about to sleep, a figure came to my room, no need to ask, I already know who it is, at this time, I can avoid all ears and eyes, and quietly enter and exit the palace, there is only one person, Xiahou Fei.
"You always like to show up when I'm almost asleep, did you mean to?"
"Shhhh Xiahou walked over quickly and covered my mouth and motioned for me to look out of the room.
I looked over and found a figure outside the door, signaling Xiahou Fei that I saw it, and asked him to let go of his hand.
"You came to the palace, did you want to remind me of something?"
"How do you know I'm here to warn you, not the palace?"
"You're so stupid! Say something? ”
"Okay, let me tell you, the Queen Mother is eyeing you."
I frowned immediately, "You said that the Queen Mother was eyeing me, do you know what is going on?" ”
"I don't know why, but few of the people she is targeting are alive."
"Well, I won't live long!" I looked at him.
"That's not it, don't I just live well!" Xiahou Fei looked at me with raised eyebrows.
"Cut, don't give me this, say, is there anything you haven't said?"
"I can't hide it from you, the Queen Mother is not in a hurry to solve you, she wants to raise you and kill you, just like raising pigs." Xiahou Fei deliberately said ugly, wanting to see what would happen to me.
"Then it depends on whose life is long, it is possible that she raised a wolf in pig's clothing, don't die then, I don't know the truth yet." I said with a fierce look in my eyes, it is not so easy to want my life.
"Then you say, am I helping a little wolf now, will she bite me then!" Xiahou Fei said pointedly.
"Then it's going to be up to you to do her." I looked at him with the corners of my mouth curled slightly.
Xiahou Fei raised his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders to say I didn't know, I rolled my eyes at him, "Then again, how did you know?" ”
Xiahou Fei had a guessing expression on his face, and I rolled my eyes and said: "There are your people in the palace, and even in various palaces, there are your people, so you can grasp the situation so quickly, know the time of the palace guards' patrols, and come and go freely." I looked at him and said, "Say, am I right?" ”
Xia Houfei nodded, but didn't say anything.
"What else do you want to tell me?" I said.
"All the concubines in the palace, you have to have less contact, even Concubine Yu, you'd better have less contact." Xiahou Fei looked out the window and looked at me.
"I know what you mean, they want to use me, but I'm soft, no matter what they do, I don't react at all, don't worry, I won't be their pawn."
Xiahou Fei thought to himself: Although you are very smart, I am afraid that you will become someone else's pawn but I don't know it.
