Chapter 21 The main concubine and the side concubine
You're not, aren't you?
Lu Ning looked at Dong Baifeng in front of him, very speechless.
Dong Baifeng asked to see her, but she told Lu Ning that she was going to become a preacher of the Heavenly Dao Sect and asked Lu Ning for permission.
Although I heard that in the past few days, Dong Baifeng would summon a female preacher every day, and even eat and live together, but she didn't want to, but she was for this.
The Dali royal family, the emperor became a monk, and it was also very common in the future, but if the emperor was still there, the queen and princess would become nuns, unless they made a big mistake and were persecuted.
From the essence of religion, worship the Emperor as the righteous god, and the god of wealth, the god of the door, the god of the city, the land, the god of the mountain, the god of the river, the god of the stove and other lower gods are located in many Tiandao sects, and the Central Plains people do not have any conflict with the beliefs of the people, ordinary people, worship the gods of the Tiandao sect, they do not feel that they are believers, and have no impact on life.
However, if you respect the emperor as the only righteous god, when you go outside the territory, many monotheistic religions will inevitably be regarded as enemies.
In order to maintain the sanctity of the preacher, the preachers of the Tiandao Sect also served the emperor for life and were not allowed to marry.
In other words, if Dong Baifeng wants to become a preacher, it is no different from cutting his hair to become a nun.
Of course, Lu Ning understood Dong Baifeng's intentions, and while she was at ease, she also had a lot less burden.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, this ending is not bad, but it seems a bit rushed.
"Think about it, at least, don't make a claim about it now." Lu Ning waved his hand.
Dong Baifeng said: "Yes, also, after a few years of being sensible, Lian'er will also make a big wish, enter the Tao and practice, and spread the sound of Wanhe for the world." ”
Lu Ning rubbed her nose, this Dong Baifeng, she didn't have any idea of inheriting the Central Plains lineage, what she was thinking about now was how her son could survive safely, after all, she was still a little worried that she would be unfavorable to Duan Sulian, even if she sent them to the Central Plains, it was difficult to guarantee that she would not regret it one day and wanted to get rid of the troubles.
Therefore, he thought of a home for his son early that would definitely be safe for a lifetime.
"We'll see." Lu Ning picked up the teacup and didn't bother to say.
……
Yin'an Palace, Duan Yuyan, Gao Ling'er and Yang Wanqing were all called.
Although it has been many days since the three side concubines entered the mansion, in addition to seeing Yang Wanqing in Chengji Town that day, it was the first time for Lu Ning to see the three of them, and for the three of them, it was also the first time that they were summoned by the king of Zhennan.
The three girls are all dressed in the phoenix crown and xia veil given by Bianjing.
According to the regulations of the Great Qi wife, the prince and the princess and the three side concubines are all life women, the princess is the first product, and the side concubine is the lowest from the fifth grade, which is the same as the township king, it can be seen that the main wife and the most favored side room, even if it is the prince's family, the status difference is also extremely different.
Of course, to the outside world, the side concubine is also very expensive, and it is still very different from the order of the countryman.
Duan Yuyan is extremely quiet and elegant, there is a sense of beauty between her eyebrows, her skin is better than snow, her beautiful eyes are as clear as water, and she wears a luxurious crimson veil, which makes her have a bit of fireworks in the world, rather than an unattainable fairy.
Gao Ling'er is petite and exquisite, with a fair-skinned melon seed face, two dimples when she laughs, and the little girl is extremely lively and cute.
Yang Wanqing and Lu Ning have seen it, but in the face of herself, she has a cold expression, not as amiable as when she talked and laughed with her brother in the tavern, and now she looks like a cold beauty like an iceberg.
"Your Highness, have you been accompanying Sister Bai Feng for the past few days? Is she better? Gao Ling'er was very innocent, and when she saw Lu Ning, she immediately chattered and asked, obviously, she was really worried about Dong Baifeng, who had been imprisoned for several months.
Lu Ning smiled, "She's fine." ”
"Ah, that's great!" Gao Ling'er looked at Lu Ning curiously, and asked again: "Your Highness, you are so tall, you are almost two heads taller than me!" I've never heard you're this tall before. ”
Lu Ning couldn't help but rub his nose, obviously, his father Gao Renwen would not tell her that he might be a fake of Li Dai Taozhuang.
And although his appearance is still slightly modified, he doesn't care about his height and the like, and he never bends his knees all the time, and he is too tired.
Looking at Yang Wanqing and Duan Yuyan again, they obviously had a deep discussion with their father about entering the palace, not like Gao Ling'er was ignorant, and really thought it was a marriage.
Coughing, Lu Ning said: "In a few days, the missionaries will go to the southwest to teach the barbarians, the princess suffered a catastrophe, but turned the danger into safety, is to also make a great wish, to help some poor people, to do the good life of heaven." After a pause, "I'm worried about her safety, so I'll go with me, and I'll go to see the mountains and rivers in the southwest along the way, you three, don't read it." ”
Gao Ling'er's eyes widened, "Your Highness, I heard that you alone killed thousands of bandits in Tubo?" Is it true? The big eyes of the water spirit were full of worship.
Lu Ning smiled: "It's just an exaggeration, but it should be safe to protect your sister Baifeng." He also said: "The Shenhuo Camp and the Wuyi Camp will stay in the royal city, although Yunnan is initially decided, it should be fine, and the three of you are in the palace, so you don't have to worry." ”
Gao Ling'er bit her lip and said, "Your Highness, I want to go too, I used to travel everywhere, but I have never been to the southwest, and now I am almost suffocated to death in the palace for the past few days!" As he spoke, he bit his finger sullenly.
Lu Ning was amused, groaned slightly, and said, "Okay, you can go with you too." ”
"Ah, thank you, Your Highness!" Gao Ling'er cheered, and even danced twice, and then felt that it was too Meng Lang, so he stood still.
Gao Ling'er looked at Duan Yuyan and Yang Wanqing, who were silent, "Two sisters, don't you want to go?" Let's go play together, how much fun? ”
Lu Ning smiled, "Okay, together, it just so happens that I have tamed a herd of more than a dozen large and small members, which can be used as a mount." ”
The elephant has an extremely high IQ, and after showing strength and goodwill, Lu Ning feels that it is easier to communicate with it than with Zhu Mao.
Gao Ling'er was stunned.
Dali country, although domesticated elephants, but mostly use its leather to make armor, and there are no elephant soldiers, because its effect is not very good, especially when the elephant is in estrus, ten masters can be trampled to death when they are irritable.
Elephants are mostly used on the battlefield to drive them away, and even light fire on their tails to make them ram the enemy.
It is used as a camel vehicle, and it is extremely rare nowadays.
Ben also, if elephants were as easy to tame as cows, horses, and camels, there would have been elephants among domestic animals in later generations.
Speaking of elephants, Lu Ning sighed softly, among the hairs, there are already old and dead, Yelu Xiaobai, although psychic general, but when it was caught, it was in its prime, the eagle falcon has a short lifespan, and I am afraid that it will not live long, so I will stay in Bianjing for a few years of leisure, and I came to the southwest by myself, and I didn't bring this right-hand man.
Then, seeing Gao Ling'er excited and a little scared, obviously, he was shocked by riding an elephant as a mount, Lu Ning smiled dumbly, and his depressed mood was swept away.
