The autumn sun is shining, witnessing this exquisite large-scale performance, even the sun can't bear to move down, the whole sun gathers into a huge and divine eye, engrossed in appreciating this "Zen rhyme" as the theme of the cultural and military event, at the same time, the heaven and earth are dressed up in a new way, are plated with a layer of bright and refreshing jumping light.

After the performance of this pair of talented and beautiful women, the lay disciples took turns on the stage, some performed the qigong of the unity of god and form, some performed the hard qigong that was invincible, some performed the hand-to-hand fighting, some performed the eighteen kinds of martial arts such as knives, forks and halberds, some performed the calm and quiet Zen tea, some performed the Zen music that was as far away as the fairy song fluttering, and some performed the Zen doctor of "once the hand medicine arrives, there are no diseases".

Finally, in the dreamlike Zen music, the recitation of Zen poems was performed, which was participated by all the students, and Qingqing liked these three songs the most: "The beautiful woman sleeps lazily and combs her hair, and inserts the golden hairpin into the rest." Probably because she has good muscles and bones, she is also romantic without wearing red powder; "When the outside of the permanent residence is clear, the bamboo flute is blown on the cow. A song from the secluded mountains and from the green, this love is not known with the white clouds; "The monks also have a spring of prosperity, and there is no stagnation in the Zen heart. When you look at the clear water of the pond, how can you not be affected by the shadow of the flowers. ”

Halfway through the afternoon, the performance was over, everyone went back to their respective meditation rooms to rest, the emperor rode a horse to Shaolin, he only brought a few entourage, among them, the ingenious sedan chair also stopped outside the door of the Qingqing meditation room.

Zhao Xu was a good emperor who was considerate of his subjects, and refused to pass the word "The emperor has arrived!" and so on. Especially when he feels that marrying his beloved beauty is a private matter, he doesn't need to share it with the world, so he does it in a low-key manner everywhere.

Hearing that the emperor was coming, the abbot and the martial coach immediately got up to greet him, and respectfully invited: "Your Majesty, please dismount, please move to the Zen tea room with the old man, how about a drink?" ”

Zhao Xu Shili refused: "Master, please don't be polite, wait a while, I and the entourage will go to disturb your temple again." The abbot sent someone to make seven or eight cups of tea, and then sent someone to clean up the neat tea room as if it were dust-free Penglai Immortal Pavilion.

"White girl, get on the sedan chair." Cai Yu gently pulled up the door curtain.

"My lord, let's put it down first, the sedan chair prepared for me by the emperor's brother is so beautiful, I'll appreciate it first."

Zhao Xu specially wore a pale green dragon robe embroidered with three gardenias today, embroidered with a small budding gardenia on the left and right cuffs, as big as a quail egg, embroidered with a blooming gardenia on his chest, as big as an egg, and the rest, large and small, embroidered with nine dragons of different shapes, churning in the mottled moire.

Zhao Xu gently looked at the sweetheart next to him who couldn't help but be happy: let her go around the sedan chair, and smiled in her heart: "This girl, so innocent and interesting, I really like her love for beautiful things!" The sedan chairs that other concubines sit in are all red and purple, and they are so glamorous, but for the concubine I love, I have to send skilled craftsmen to dress up and please her. ”

Qingqing was stunned. The top end of the sedan chair on all sides of the curtain, each embroidered with a fluttering phoenix, all embroidered with thick and colorful gardenia green leaves below, the "color of the public" dressed up full of vitality, Qingqing saw very excited, can't stop crying in the bottom of his heart.

Nearby, there is a simple sedan chair, maybe it was for Ling'er.

Qingqing thought that the emperor's brother and his party were tired from running around, and he must have been thirsty, so he immediately stopped appreciating it anymore, and greeted: "Masters, it's hard work, come and drink tea and rest, brother emperor, you should also hurry up and have a cup of tea." With that, he helped Zhao Xu off the horse.

The abbot greets the emperor and invites him to take a seat.

Zhao Xupin took a sip, suddenly quenched his thirst, and asked, "Master, what kind of health tea is this?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is a half-summer drink of Chen Pian, which has the effect of invigorating qi and calming yang, strengthening the spleen and reducing stagnation, Your Majesty, do you still call this tea your sacred heart?" The abbot touched his beard and asked cautiously.

"Wonderful, wonderful! Such a Zen temple Zen tea, there is indeed a wonderful elixir outside the sky, I really can't ask for it, it's better to ask for it, thank you abbot! ”

"I'm ashamed, Your Majesty, you're here to pick up the Pure Heart Girl, this woman has a lot of wisdom, after this hard and sincere experience, the Pure Heart Girl is both civil and military, not vulgar and comparable, this woman is really the emperor's blessing!" The abbot showed a kind and friendly smile, which made Zhao Xu feel very down-to-earth.

Qingqing felt a little embarrassed, so he said goodbye for a while.

The sisters came again to admire the sedan chair.

Looking at the well-equipped interior, Qingqing couldn't help but ask Cai Yu: "My lord, please help me introduce this royal sedan chair." ”

"White girl, this is a chair, pedal, door and window made of vermilion lacquered rattan, which looks elegant and simple, this is the red Luo Yin mattress, this is the soft screen curtain, this is the curtain on all sides, this is the door curtain, the curtain, this royal 'Caiyu', do you like it?"

"I like it, I like it so much, this sedan chair is so magnificent!" Qingqing couldn't help cheering, in fact, she shouted in her heart: Brother Xu loves me too much!

Zhao Xu told his entourage to drink quickly, and he was about to return to the palace.

"Your Majesty, may I ask you to pick an auspicious day and bring back the Qingqing girl, after all, it is a royal event." The abbot spoke solemnly.

"I don't believe in any auspicious days, I only believe in a sincere heart, and I will marry when I am willing to marry, thank you for the master's kindness, then, do the people have any custom of taking a sedan chair?" Zhao Xu asked modestly.

"The use of the sedan chair in marrying relatives appeared in our Song Dynasty, and it may gradually become a folk custom in the future. At that time, the woman to be married will dress up at home, and in the early morning, the man will send a bright sedan chair to greet the family, which is called 'hurrying'. It is said that if several families marry at the same time on the same day, whoever rushes early will be happy in the future. The abbot gave a truthful and detailed report.

"The people of the Great Song Dynasty are really interesting, I don't want to join in the fun, thank you to the master for telling me, I have gained a lot of knowledge."

"Please get on the sedan chair!" Qingqing thought about going back to the palace so far, she couldn't bear to let the sedan chair drivers carry it back, but she didn't want to sweep away the interest of the emperor's brother, she thought for a while, and said euphemistically: "Thank you Brother Xu for the sedan chair designed for the little sister, I like it so much, can you take a hundred steps in this courtyard, I will have a good time, and then ask the abbot to write a banner for me, the content is my name?" ”

Everyone didn't know what kind of medicine she bought in her gourd, so they did it one by one.

"Okay, this girl has already sat in a sedan chair, I want to ride the same horse with the emperor, what about my handwriting, it means me, the masters carry a piece of paper, it's easy! As for my sister Ling'er, half of the time she sits on my console, and the other half of the time sits on hers. Qingqing said proudly.

Everyone praised enthusiastically: "What a newcomer to the emperor, he is so benevolent, the emperor doesn't love it, and the world can't tolerate it!" However, from ancient times to the present, have you ever seen such an outrageous emperor's concubine? Everyone gave a thumbs up.

"Your Majesty, why isn't there embroidered flowers on my sedan chair?" Qingqing asked curiously.

"Because you are my flower, why embroider again." Zhao Xu replied calmly.

"Sister Qing, do you know where I embroidered the gardenia?" Zhao Xu asked proudly.

"Long live the Emperor Hui, I don't know, I'm being carried away by happiness and can't guess." She was very tired from the recent hard training, and Qingqing didn't want to use her brain to think about it at all.

"You see, there are three places, and I have graced you deeply and finely on the chest of the dragon robe, and the cuffs at both ends." Qingqing turned his head to look, and sure enough, there was a bloom on his chest, which was still difficult to win the brilliance of Jiaojie in the complex dragon pattern, Qingqing held Zhao Xu's hand, soft and smooth, almost as beautiful as a gardenia, and couldn't help but kiss it gently, almost forgetting to appreciate these two budding little gardenias.
