Chapter 33: There Was a Time I Didn't Know

The fourth master was stunned. Nodding his head, he said, "Erchen will do it. Grandmother, please rest assured.' There are not many people in the Jade 'Ice Mansion. It is enough for the ministers to give money. You don't have to worry about it. Keep the house. It is also the wish of the sons."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Yes. You're old after all. It's not convenient to always go into the palace and hide there. It's the house. It's more appropriate."

"Yes."

Arrived at the small courtyard. The Queen Mother sits at the desk of 'Jade' Bing. With trembling hands, he picked up the piece of paper on the table. Chanted: "This breaks the attachment of the bodhisattvas to live their lives. Bodhisattvas are therefore not able to dwell on their minds. Because of the degree of life thoughts. Lots of fantasies. Make a vow: "All living beings have boundless vows". Thinking of me in defiance. In the midst of the four lives and ten categories, everyone is universal. Things are bent into. There are three no's for a Buddha. Yao Shun is still sick. That's why I founded Buddhism. The boundless vow of all beings has been fulfilled. That is, to regain oneself and divide the clouds: from the 'sexual' sentient beings vow to the degree. Cover the living beings of the earth. That is, beings who are self-sexual. The Bodhisattva is divided into two. The bodhisattvas of reality are one. I can live as a being of my own nature. then from 'sexual' nirvana. Nothing is owed, nothing is left. Nirvana for all beings. And so it goes. This is the so-called neutralization of Confucianism. Day status. All things are nurtured. Sanskrit Nirvana. This cloud is silent. Silence is immobility. To perish is to be lifeless. Able to save all beings with silence. then six in one. Eight wilderness and one wilderness. Heaven and earth are rooted with me. All things are one with me."

She sighed and said, "This girl. At a young age. Always transcribe these. But I have seen the life and death of wealth thoroughly. Look at the word. Where is the word like the average 'girl' child. The bones are handsome. Extraordinary. Although it is a willow body that is practiced. But it looks more chic than the willow body."

The fourth master nodded and said, "Indeed. This girl practiced Zhao Mengfu's regular script a few days ago. It's also very well written. The grandson originally felt that it was a pity for her beautiful willow body. But she's really practiced well. The grandson felt again. This girl. It is more suitable to write Zhao Mengfu's words. Bones. She's so carefree."

The Queen Mother nodded. I got up and walked to the bed. He muttered, "The mourning family looked at this 'bed' and thought of the 'jade' ice child. Hurt again and again. Sick again and again. Poor man. When I first came. What a child. It's time to go. Thinner than the original thirteen-year-old girl. What do you say about the imperial grandmother of the mourning family? Why can't you even protect a child?"

"Imperial Grandmother, please be relieved."

The Queen Mother shook her head. He sighed and said, "Fourth." Jade's ice is gone. In the future. What you'll need. Come and tell the mourners. The mourning family didn't take care of the 'jade' ice. I have to take care of you, Xiang'er and Yinzhen. so that she can ...... Rest assured......"

The fourth master nodded and said, "Okay. Grandmother don't worry."

"Let's go. Let's go." The Queen Mother stood up. said: "The banquet of the Taihe Hall is about to begin. It's time for us all to go.' Jade's ice. It's the New Year. Grandmother misses you."

The feast of the Taihe Temple. Just like every year. Long live the mountain, sing praises to virtue. Ministers and princes smile and toast each other hypocritically. It's nothing more than who's patting whom's ass. Who's going to probe who's mouth.

The fourth master has always had a cold face. In the eyes of all. It's still that cold face.

In the eyes of the ministers. Today is different from the usual. There are only the thirteenth and fourteenth masters. These two masters usually smile cheerfully. Today. But they all looked like they were watching from the sidelines.

Zhao Jiashi sat beside the Thirteenth Master. I sandwiched a chopstick dish for him and said, "Master. Let's eat something."

The Thirteenth Master nodded. But he still doesn't move his chopsticks. Zhao Jia's is worried. But there is no way to persuade again. She was sad in her own heart. But you still have to deal with such a scene. She naturally understands the bitterness in the heart of the Thirteenth Master.

More than half of the banquet. Nian Qianyao led his family to toast to Kangxi. Kangxi Ye drank it with a smile. He looked at the family standing in the hall. Asked Nian Qianyao with a smile: "Lianggong. Isn't this your little sister?"

"Long live the Lord. It's the younger sister of the minister."

"Oh. How old is this year?"

Nian's blessing said: "Go back to Long Live Lord. The minister's daughter is fourteen years old this year."

The Queen Mother nodded and smiled on the side: "Emperor. The mourning family looks at the young lady, this sister is dignified and beautiful. I heard that the 'sex' is also gentle and submissive. The mourning family's 'selfishness' wants to ask for the daughter-in-law of the Xinjueluo family. You look good."

Kangxi Ye smiled and said, "I have to see what Liang Gong says."

Nian Qianyao kowtowed and said, "Let the emperor decide."

Kangxi Ye nodded. Turning his head to the Queen Mother, he said, "Then please ask the emperor to call the shots. Let's get married."

The Queen Mother smiled. Nodding with satisfaction. He asked, "Where's the fourth?"

The fourth master stood up and said, "Erchen is here."

"Come here."

The fourth master stepped forward. The Queen Mother spoke: "The mourning family looked at this year. Very good. You have too few children. Mourning family thoughts. Give you the Nian family to do the side blessing. How's that?"

"It's up to the Imperial Grandmother."

"Okay." The Queen Mother turned back to Kangxi and said, "The emperor won't object."

"The arrangement of the royal lady is very good. Naturally, my son will not object." Go ahead. Kangxi Ye said loudly again: "That's it. Nian's 'female'. dignified and beautiful. Gentle and submissive. Xu married the fourth son, Prince Yong, as a side concubine. Choose an auspicious day to get married as soon as possible."

The fourth master and the Nian clan knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you, Lord Longen. Long live my emperor, long live, long live. Empress Dowager Xie. Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose."

The other princes and ministers knelt down and said, "Congratulations to the emperor. Congratulations to the Queen Mother. Congratulations to Prince Yong. Congratulations, Nian."

------------------

That's it. It dawned on me, "I'm still going to say it. Huang Ama has never liked the fourth master. How could he point out this 'door' marriage for the fourth master at this time. It was the meaning of the imperial grandmother."

The Queen Mother nodded: "The mourning family knows. You've always wanted the fourth to fight for that position. It was not old enough. Mourn for you.' In my heart, I don't want the fourth child to fight. Be an idle prince. How good it is to have a good marriage with you. But you're gone. Mourning family thinks before and after. Feel like you're right. There is no better person than him. Now that you've figured this out. The marriage of the mourning family is just a smooth sailing."

"The Imperial Grandmother is well versed in what is at stake. That's the choice." The Queen Mother is always more 'shrewd' than we think. She knows the way of court. I also understand the secrets and struggles between the harem and the 'women' of various provinces.

The Queen Mother pinched my nose: "The one who understands all this best. It's the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang. The mourning family was personally ** out by herself. But it's still less than one thousandth of her. Sooner or later. It's all about things. and it will all be 'delivered' into your hands. You're in control. When the time comes. Your little shoulders. But it's going to be hard."

"I'm not going to be the queen mother. Where will it be hard."

The Queen Mother did not answer me. Just looking at me with a meaningful smile.

Many years later. I think of her meaningful smile.' Rub 'rub' the sore shoulder. I couldn't help but burst into tears.
