The feast dispersed after noon, but the guests did not disperse.

The men followed the emperor to the side hall to sit down, the older generation reminisced, and the young people chatted and showed their talents in front of the emperor and the princes.

Concubine Xian took the female guests to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the scenery.

Chu Xiurong stood in front of the main hall, watching the female guests go to the harem surrounded by the eunuchs and palace maids, Princess Jin Yao and Chen Danzhu walked in the crowd together, not knowing what to say, they laughed together.

Concubine Xu slowly walked out of the side hall where the changing clothes were located, and her demeanor was as decent as ever, but her face was slightly stiff.

"Mother." Chu Xiurong called and walked towards Concubine Xu.

Concubine Xu didn't avoid it, stopped and waited for her, and the palace maids retreated to the side for a circle, just right to avoid and block this side.

"Mother, you're really worried." Chu Xiurong said a little helplessly, "Miss Danzhu, she won't do anything to me." ”

Chu Xiurong found out that she went to see Chen Danzhu, Concubine Xu was not surprised at all, or rather, she just wanted him to find out that everything was in her expectation, there was only a small accident-

Concubine Xu took a deep breath, withdrew her scattered spirit, and looked at him: "I'm not worried about her, I'm worried about you, she doesn't want to do more, don't you want to?" ”

Chu Xiurong thought about it, yes, no matter what, when that moment came, he would not allow himself to choose someone else.

Concubine Xu looked at him with a look that I knew: "Instead of you being embarrassed by her public rejection at that time, it is better for me to let you simply die." Thinking of this, I thought of Chen Danzhu again, "Ah Xiu, Chen Danzhu is this person-"

She reached out and pressed her heart, took a deep breath, and seemed to be a little speechless.

Chen Danzhu is really angry, Chu Xiurong pursed his lips and smiled: "She quarreled with you?" ”

"It would be nice if she had a fight with me." Concubine Xu said angrily, "She asked me for money, and she opened her mouth for three million yuan." ”

Chu Xiurong smiled: "Then I'm really not cheap." ”

Certainly not cheap! Three million, does this little woman know how much it means? How did she open her mouth!

Chen Danzhu opened her mouth, and her Concubine Xu was not slaughtered!

So he let go of the deep love between mother and son, and talked about the amount of money first, and Chen Danzhu also threw away the beauty of adults and began to settle accounts with her.

Concubine Xu said how poor the Great Xia court was, and she insinuated that Chen Danzhu, as the daughter of the princes and kings, should also be clear, so where did she, the concubine, have so much money.

Chen Danzhu complained that since Wu Guo was gone, she had nothing, so she blocked the road and robbed the sick, quarreled with the Shaofu Supervisor, and didn't even let go of the guards' Yulu, and went to the Weiwei Office to make trouble, all because of lack of money, and how much income did Qi County have-

even bluntly said that she had a bad reputation, so King Qi treated her differently, wrong King Qi, she estimated that she would be lonely for the rest of her life - it would cost a lot of money to support the elderly.

The two of them didn't look like they were talking about their children, it was like buying and selling in the bazaar.

Moreover, Concubine Xu could see that Chen Danzhu really wanted money, not deliberately joking, and after some entanglement, Concubine Xu did not speak in vain, and finally lowered the price to two million.

Thinking of this, Concubine Xu couldn't help but let out a long breath, and then flipped it up again, what is there to be happy about!

She really saw Chen Danzhu's hatefulness, no wonder everyone avoided her when she mentioned it, even the emperor had a headache.

"And she wants me to pay it all at once." Concubine Xu held back her anger and looked at Chu Xiurong, "This woman, in addition to a good-looking face and such a perverse temper, how did you fall in love with her?" ”

Although Concubine Xu didn't explain the process in detail, looking at Concubine Xu's changing face, Chu Xiurong could also imagine what Concubine Xu had experienced in front of Chen Danzhu, and he couldn't help but smile: "It's probably this perverse temper that others don't have." ”

Concubine Xu sneered, she didn't want to mention this topic again, no matter what, her goal was achieved - compared to persuading Chen Danzhu, it was more so that Chu Xiurong could see clearly.

"Ah Xiu, you have always been an understanding person." Concubine Xu said, "I'll tell Chen Danzhu this, she doesn't cry or mess with me, she doesn't stay silent or reason, but asks for money directly, this is the attitude she has expressed, she doesn't care about you anymore, you should be clear in your heart, I won't say more." ”

Speaking of this, Concubine Xu clenched her hands and gritted her teeth again, and turned her head to look at the nearest palace maid who was standing.

"You go and tell your uncle, let him prepare the money, write the vouchers, and give it to Chen Danzhu immediately."

With this transaction, she was completely relieved, whether it was intercession or reasoning, Chen Danzhu was not qualified to be her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law again, Concubine Xu said that she would take the palace maid and walk away.

Chu Xiurong looked at Concubine Xu's figure, stood in place and didn't call again, silent.

Xiaoqu stood a few steps away and didn't dare to disturb, and in desperation, the prince walked out of the main hall with King Yan and King Lu, and the guests in the hall had almost left at this time.

"Third brother." The prince called, "What are you still standing there for?" Go to your father's place. ”

King Yan followed Chu Xiurong's line of sight and looked at the female guests walking towards the harem, and said with a smile: "The third brother wants to take a few more looks." ”

King Lu nodded hurriedly, and his eyes followed the female guest over there: "Yes, we should follow the mother concubine over and go to the father's place where a group of men is there to see." ”

The prince turned his head and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense! ”

King Lu hurriedly shrank his head and sneered.

The crown prince softened his expression and comforted: "Lone knows that today is your big day, and it is also related to your life. Said and smiled, "Listen to the eldest brother, my father has already made arrangements, and I will let you see clearly." ”

King Lu was happy and curious: "Really? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how did my father arrange it? What was arranged? ”

But when he asked again, the prince didn't say anything, he only said for a while, and then greeted Chu Xiurong.

"Come on, everyone is waiting to hear you talk about the matter of winning the soldiers, and don't disappoint the high expectations of your father."

This time, all the scholars who came were from the Shi clan, and they were still very dissatisfied with the Shi clan by using strategies.

Chu Xiurong responded by following them to the side hall.

There is no singing and dancing food table in the side hall, the emperor reclines and leans on a few, the nobles and officials of the scholar clan are seated on both sides, compared to the big banquet, everyone is closer, the atmosphere is much more relaxed, when the prince comes in with three princes, there is a young man in front of the emperor blushing and reciting the article he wrote, the emperor nodded with a smile, which made the young people around him more eager to try.

Seeing the prince and them coming in, everyone was busy saluting, and the emperor beckoned the three princes to "sit at will, sit among everyone." ”

So the three of Yan, Qi, and Lu sat in the crowd, and the emperor looked at the prince again, did not let him sit down, and asked, "How are the preparations at the Shuyun Temple?" ”

The prince said: "It should be already, Erchen will let people take it." He turned and went out.

The people around were curious about what the emperor was saying.

"It was the national teacher who prepared some gifts for King Hexin to be crowned." The emperor smiled, didn't mention it anymore, and motioned to the young man in front of him, "Come, Xue family son, you continue." ”

The voice of the prince sounded in the side hall, and the prince stood outside the hall and watched several big eunuchs beside the emperor standing in front of him.

"Go ahead." He said, his gaze falling on one of the eunuchs, "Ask if the national teacher is ready." ”

The eunuch who was watched by the prince did not look up, as if he did not know that the prince was looking at him, but lowered his body and followed the others to salute in response.

.....

.....

The eunuchs from the palace came to the Shuyun Temple, and some monks were waiting for them for a long time.

"The master is ready." The monk said, "Wait a few years, I'll fetch it." ”

Zhuyun Temple is not another place, and the eunuchs around the emperor did not dare to be abrupt, so they sat down, only one eunuch said: "Slave maid help to get it." ”

The monk did not refuse, and led him to the place where Master Huizhi was.

Master Huizhi meditated in the Buddha hall, heard the meaning, and pointed to a square box in front of the Buddha.

The monk comprehended and hugged it, and the waiting eunuch hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, but did not say goodbye and withdrew, and bowed to Master Huizhi with closed eyes.

"National teacher." He whispered, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has something to ask for. ”

Master Huizhi opened his eyes: "What's the matter?" ”

The eunuch looked at the box: "Your Highness wants to ask for a blessing bag for the five princes." ”

The five princes, as a guilty person, have been forgotten by the emperor, as a fellow brother, it is not strange that the prince secretly remembers, Master Huizhi recited the Buddha's name: "Yes, the old man also wrote a Buddha to the five princes." ”

The eunuch said, "Two." ”

One person, one lucky bag, but two Buddha verses? Master Huizhi's figure paused and looked at the eunuch.

The eunuch hung his head: "His Royal Highness the Prince's wishes, please fulfill the national teacher, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will also keep in mind the kindness of the national teacher." ”
