Princess Shouyang said: "This palace doesn't mean that. ”

Then he said to He Luo: "You instigated me to post to her, it turned out that you wanted to take out your body and humiliate her?" Why, I heard that the concubine is going to give His Royal Highness King Qi a marriage, are you in a hurry? ”

He Luo's face suddenly turned red: "It's not ......"

Princess Shouyang was not interested in listening to her, and waved her hand: "What do you think, I don't care." If you dare to use me as a gunman in the future, don't blame me for not being merciful. ”

He Luo's heart sank.

At this time, a monk came to report that the Buddha bathing ceremony was about to begin, and invited the princess and the girls to watch the ceremony, which resolved the embarrassing atmosphere.

Legend has it that the Buddha was born on the eighth day of the fourth month, when he was born, he pointed to the sky and the earth with one finger, the earth shook for it, and the nine dragons spit out water to bathe it.

Therefore, the people of the world take the eighth day of the fourth month as the Buddha bathing festival, worship the Buddha and the monks in the various Buddhist temples, bathe the Buddha ceremony, and sprinkle water on the Buddha statue to "wash the dust".

The Buddha bathing ceremony at Daexiangguoji Temple is held in the open-air square in front of Daeungbojeon. A wide and tall bathing pavilion is set up in the middle of the field, and the Buddha bathing water is placed next to it.

The water for bathing in Buddha is made of boiling herbs, including licorice, herbs, etc., and the people call it "fragrant soup".

The people stood around the square to watch the ceremony, and everyone gathered their minds and miterated prayers.

Under the leadership of the abbot abbot, the monks in the temple welcomed the small statue of the Buddha out of the scripture building, placed it in the bathing pavilion, put incense, exhibits, bowed three times, chanted the scriptures, and the observers recited the "Bathing Mantra" together, and sang "Buddha Treasure Praise" and "Praise Buddha".

Then the bells and drums rang in unison, and began to circle the Buddha and take fragrant soup to sprinkle the Buddha statue.

The people also rushed forward to offer fragrant flowers and fresh fruits.

The whole ceremony was solemn and solemn, and under the Sanskrit sound, everyone felt that their bodies and minds had been baptized.

After the ceremony, the people can arrange their own relics, incense, ask for signs, and watch tours in the temple.

At noon, it is the fasting meeting arranged in the temple, and the fasting meal of Daxiangguo Temple has always been good.

Those who participate in the fasting meeting consciously donate sesame oil, and the temple is not compulsory, and there is no special treatment for the rich to donate more, and no one criticizes the poor.

However, most of the people in Bianjing City are economically acceptable, and they are sincere in worshiping the Buddha, so they will not eat white food, and they all have to donate some.

Princess Shouyang said to Meng Qingyun: "I didn't bring any money, you can borrow me." ”

Meng Qingyun had already begun to get used to her various astonishing words and inexplicable behaviors, and asked: "Don't talk about borrowing, I will pay, you and I will donate jointly." ”

Princess Shouyang was very single: "That dare is good." ”

Meng Qingyun asked Asakusa to take five hundred taels of silver tickets. She was also prepared, thinking that the Buddha Bathing Society would always donate some sesame oil money, so Asakusa carried a purse of silver tickets.

Princess Shouyang saw that she casually shot five hundred taels, and couldn't help but say: "He Luo's words are not wrong, you are really rich." ”

Meng Qingyun said: "Since you have accepted my favor, there will be such gatherings in the future, don't call me anymore." ”

Princess Shouyang raised her eyebrows: "What, hate me?" ”

Meng Qingyun: "No, I don't like Miss He." ”

Princess Shouyang smiled: "Cheng." In the future, if she is there, I will not call you. ”

Meng Qingyun was grateful: "Thank you, thank you." ”

Princess Shouyang looked at her seriously: "You are a straight person, I like it, you can make a friend." ”

Meng Qingyun asked rhetorically: "Isn't it because of righteousness and squandering money?" ”

Princess Shouyang laughed: "That's right, who doesn't like rich friends." ”

Meng Qingyun said: "Being able to be friends with the princess is the fate of the Buddha's gift, and I have to thank the Buddha." Asakusa, go donate another five hundred taels. ”

Asakusa is helpless, if you have money, you will make it. But I obediently paid for it.

Princess Shouyang really likes Meng Qingyun now.

This girl is really happy to do things.

So when it was time to eat fast, the two were already holding hands and making love.

The other ladies were so surprised that their eyes were about to fall out. Princess Shouyang is notoriously bad-tempered and rarely able to socialize with people.

is also a girl like He Luo, who is in the Guogong Mansion, because of her close identity, she has the opportunity to talk on an equal footing.

This Meng Qingyun, his father is only a fourth-grade official, and he often speaks very quickly, Princess Shouyang is so blue-eyed, where does the charm come from?

He Luo was even more angry.

Their group of girls are either nobles or relatives of official families, so naturally they will not eat in the same canteen as the common people. The fire-headed monk and the Zhike monk sent the food into the monastery alone.

Princess Shouyang took Meng Qingyun's hand and asked her to sit beside her.

He Luo, who was sitting opposite, saw it and couldn't help but say: "It's really inflammatory, I only got married to the concubine two days ago, and today I clinged to the princess." ”

A girl with baby fat on her face next to her couldn't stand it, and whispered: "Don't say that, people are also officials." ”

He Luo snorted coldly: "I don't like to eat at the same table with the Southern Barbarians. ”

Princess Shouyang swept over with a cold eye: "Then don't stay here, change the table." ”

"You ......"

He Luo had never been so humiliated, and he gritted his teeth in anger, but he didn't dare to offend the princess, and his face was completely blank in front of everyone's eyes, and tears were rolling in his eyes.

At this moment a servant girl came in in a panic, ran to their table, found the fat baby girl who had just been persuaded to fight, and whispered a few words.

The baby fat girl was shocked and cried on the spot.

"What's wrong?"

Everyone stood up in astonishment, and when they had befriended the girl, they came to inquire about it.

The baby fat girl cried: "The third class court accused my father of falsely eating empty salaries, and the Privy Council and the Criminal Department convicted my father of corruption and dereliction of duty, and he was relegated to Chaozhou......"

Everyone was amazed.

"Chaozhou, that's not the same as exile......

When the baby fat girl heard this, she became more and more miserable, and was supported by her own maidservant, and left the table crying.

Everyone is an official dependent, and all the honor and disgrace are in the official position of the father and brother, the father was demoted to Chaozhou, and the life of the family naturally plummeted, and it was inevitable that he had a relationship with the baby fat girl.

A voice in the crowd said: "Miss Meng's father is the deputy head of the Third Class Academy, I don't know how many people will be ruined in Ling Zun's hands." ”

The fathers and brothers of several girls present were military attachés, and when they heard this, they suddenly looked at Meng Qingyun's eyes.

Meng Qingyun scanned and searched the past and found that the person who spoke was Sun Man'er, who had been avoiding her before.

He Luo was hoping that Meng Qingyun was unlucky, and immediately echoed: "By the way, Lu Wangfu was also impeached by Sister Meng's uncle, which caused Sister Man'er to be downcast to her mother's family. ”

She said to Meng Qingyun: "Sister Meng, if you don't plead with your father, if you find the father and brother of our friends, please raise your hand." ”

Meng Qingyun had a calm face: "What does Miss He mean, is everyone's father and brother guilty?" ”

He Zhen: "Guilty or not, isn't it all on Ling Zun's mouth." ”

Everyone's eyes, especially the eyes of several girls from military attache families, converged on Meng Qingyun's face.
