Chapter 130: Nine Feathers of the Golden Phoenix Hairpin
Xia Jinse was kind to Empress Dowager Zhang, but in Puji Temple, she threw her face at Xia Jinse, and it turned out to be wronged. It's good not to see you usually, but when she saw Xia Jinse, Empress Dowager Zhang felt uncomfortable.
As the queen mother, where can she say apologies to others? was slapped in the face several times, but she felt that Xia Jinse was restrained with herself, and this inexplicable resentment came.
"What kind of system does the blue sky and the white sun become!" Empress Dowager Zhang's tone was not good, and her face was gloomy.
Xia Jinse's heart tightened, but he didn't know where he offended the Queen Mother.
She saved the Queen Mother, she risked her life, but the Queen Mother didn't even have a word of gratitude, so she put on a face at her, and she was not happy. People have always respected me, and I respect people, regardless of identity.
Since Empress Dowager Zhang didn't like her, Xia Jinse immediately lost her respect.
Lan Beichen let go of her hand and said with a light smile: "The Queen Mother is too strict, Erchen and Jinse have already made a marriage contract, what is it to hold hands?" β
"Don't say you're not married, even if you're married!"
Empress Dowager Zhang said with a straight face: "Beichen, as the prince of the Daqing Dynasty, how many pairs of eyes are staring at you?" You have to set an example, don't be moved by women, otherwise, like the emperor did back then......"
"Ahem!" Mama Song beside her coughed, "The Ninth Prince is here, and the slave maid will go and bring a stool to the Ninth Prince." β
Empress Dowager Zhang reacted at this time, and she didn't say anything later.
Lan Beichen didn't sit down, but said lightly: "It seems that the queen mother doesn't want her son to marry a wife, so it's better to let the imperial brother revoke the marriage, and the son will go to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion to confess first, and then fight for a lifetime." β
After speaking, he turned around, and the anxious Empress Dowager Zhang hurriedly called him: "Hey, Beichen, when you come back, is this what the mourning family means?" Why don't you want you to take a wife? β
"Jin Se is Erchen's fiancΓ©e, and Erchen is intimate with her, which is a sign of good feelings. Does the Queen Mother want the princess and the princess to be cold and not smiling all day long, which is called leading by example? β
Lan Beichen said: "If that's the case, I'm afraid it's going to be the end." β
After saying something, the Empress Dowager Zhang was stunned, and finally Mama Song played a round, saying that the Empress Dowager was worried that others would chew the root of her tongue and ruin the reputation of the future princess, and hurriedly glanced at Xia Jinse and asked her to help say something.
Looking at Xia Jinse again, Empress Dowager Zhang finally restrained a little and barely squeezed out a smile.
"Today is the Queen Mother's birthday, and the sons specially chose a congratulatory gift, I don't know if the Queen Mother likes it or not."
Seeing that Lan Lan Beichen didn't mention this, Empress Dowager Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said repeatedly: "As long as you choose it, the mourning family will naturally like it." β
Lan Beichen didn't say much, and took out a palm-sized brocade box from his arms, and Mama Song took it and put it in front of Empress Dowager Zhang.
As soon as Empress Dowager Zhang opened it, she immediately laughed.
This is a string of Buddhist beads, each bead is as big as a cherry, as if it is white jade, round and smooth, but there is something like an eyeball on the bead, which is very magical.
"This is the Buddha's Eye Bodhi, and it took three years for the retainer to collect it."
"The Queen Mother, the Buddha's Eye Bodhi is more valuable than gold
Yes! It is rumored that the Bodhi tree where the Buddha sits, it takes a hundred years to produce a few Bodhi with Buddha's eyes, and it takes a fate to get it. β
Although Lan Beichen said it plainly, Mama Song recognized it at a glance.
She followed behind the Empress Dowager Zhang, and she understood a little, this Buddha's eye Bodhi is one of the three treasures of Buddhism, and she knows it.
Empress Dowager Zhang was really happy, the unhappiness just now was swept away, she immediately picked up the Buddha's eye Bodhi bracelet, put it on her hand directly, and looked at it carefully, and couldn't put it down.
"The Queen Mother, the courtiers also prepared a congratulatory gift to pay tribute to the Queen Mother. I wish the Queen Mother happiness such as the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan. β
Xia Jinse also said, handing over the brocade box that he had been holding in his hand.
Empress Dowager Zhang swept lightly, and the smile on her face immediately lost three points: "Well, it's hard for Miss Xia to have a heart, but don't worry about it, the mourning family is the heart." β
"You will be the Nine Princesses in the future, and you will be in charge of the entire Jin Palace. Since Beichen recognizes you, the mourning family doesn't say much. As the future Ninth Princess, Miss Xia must know how to be frugal and think about the Nine Princes everywhere. You came with Beichen, and he sent a congratulatory gift, so you will be exempted. β
This is both distant, but it is impossible to find anything wrong.
The implication is that Xia Jinse and Lan Beichen are regarded as a family, and there is no need to give double gifts. But this kind of refusal is a slap in the face to Xia Jinse, and she can't give a gift, is it really for her sake, or is it disdainful of accepting it?
Empress Dowager Zhang waved her hand and didn't say any more, only groped for the string of Buddhist beads on her wrist
Xia Jinse glanced at Lan Beichen and smiled helplessly.
It seems that the Queen Mother is going to target her today, and since this is the case, then she has nothing to say.
"Yes, thank you for the teachings of the Queen Mother." Xia Jinse leaned over respectfully, retracted his outstretched hand, and said, "In this case, the courtier's gift will be withdrawn and brought back to be enshrined in the Buddha Hall." β
As if talking to herself, she said: "After all, it is the "Lotus Sutra" copied by a Zen master himself, and it is not easy to come by, so it cannot be desecrated at the bottom of the box, and it has to be offered. β
"What? The Lotus Sutra written by a Zen master? β
Empress Dowager Zhang's face changed when she heard this, she stood up straight and said excitedly: "Take it to the mourning family to take a look, quickly!" β
Mama Song was also shocked, Miss Xia's congratulatory gift was actually the "Lotus Sutra" by a Zen master? This is what the Queen Mother has been looking for for more than ten years, but she couldn't find it, but she didn't expect it......
She stepped forward quickly, and was about to take the brocade box in Xia Jinse's hand, Xia Jinse stared at her, but did not let go.
Mama Song was suddenly anxious: "Miss Xia, this ......"
She also knew that the Queen Mother's words just now were too much for Xia Jinse to come to the stage, and she obviously said that she wouldn't accept it, but now she knows that it is the Lotus Sutra, and it's too late to regret it.
After a moment of stalemate, Xia Jinse smiled slightly, and stuffed the brocade box over: "Please show it to the Queen Mother." β
Mama Song was like being amnestied, and hurriedly came back with the box, but the Empress Dowager Zhang didn't care about anything, and hurriedly opened the brocade box, her hands trembled more and more, and she almost didn't dare to take it.
"This is the Lotus Sutra by the IchΕ Zen master!
Empress Dowager Zhang's face was red with excitement, her face was full of wrinkles, but she was glowing red.
Xia Jinse watched the whole process, and wondered if Empress Dowager Zhang would also see those visions just now after opening the scroll.
After waiting for a while, Empress Dowager Zhang finally unfolded the scroll, looked at the handwriting on it, admired it again and again, and kept chanting 'Amitabha'...... But other than that, there's nothing wrong with that, it seems that there is no golden light.
After holding the scripture scroll and looking at it for a long time, Empress Dowager Zhang remembered something: "Uh...... Miss Xia, this ......"
She was so stumbling that she couldn't tell.
I had already said just now that she would not accept gifts, but in the blink of an eye, she reversed herself, and she felt panicked no matter how old she was. But let her give up, this is absolutely impossible, the treasure that has been sought for many years is right in front of her, how can there be no reason not to?
Looking at Lan Beichen, Empress Dowager Zhang smiled dryly: "Beichen, it turns out, it turns out that Miss Xia is going to give this congratulatory gift to the mourning family?" Why didn't you say it earlier? β
Lan Beichen said: "It's Jin Se who wants to surprise the Queen Mother, but I didn't expect the Queen Mother to want it, so forget it." β
"No, no, no, mourning! The mourning family wants it......" Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help it, blurted out, she didn't care about being slapped in the face again, she asked eagerly: "Miss Xia, the mourning family has been looking for this scripture for many years, but it has not been obtained, where did you get it?" β
Of course, Xia Jinse would not say that Lan Beichen asked Emperor Yuanqing for it, but said: "The courtiers are only even, the Queen Mother didn't find it before, maybe fate has not arrived, and now that fate has come, it must be the Buddha who saw the Queen Mother's piety, so he borrowed the hand of the courtiers and sent it to the Queen Mother." β
"Congratulations to the Queen Mother, congratulations to the Queen Mother!" Mama Song and several palace maids said in unison.
Empress Dowager Zhang was overjoyed, where did she still think that she didn't agree with Xia Jinse?
Not only is it incompatible, but this future Nine Princesses is simply her lucky star! I saved her before, and now I have sent the coveted scriptures, isn't this what God has been hinting at her?
finally completely changed her opinion of Xia Jinse, and she didn't dare to have any more resentment, otherwise if she offended the blessed person sent to her by the Buddha, she would be a big sin.
"Jinse, you like this congratulatory gift so much, and the mourning family accepts it." Empress Dowager Zhang was overjoyed, and thought of the untimely refusal just now, and just wanted to use something to compensate.
After thinking about it for a while, she pulled off the phoenix hairpin on her head and beckoned to Xia Jinse: "Come, it's hard for you to be so kind, and the mourning family will also give you a meeting gift." This is the nine-feather golden phoenix hairpin given by the first emperor to the mourning family, which was originally passed on to the next queen, but the mourning family is worried about the first emperor and has kept it for themselves. Today, it's for you. β
Xia Jinse was a little surprised, this queen's thing was actually given to her?
However, Empress Dowager Zhang's movements were too fast, and she directly inserted the nine feather golden phoenix hairpin on her head, she touched it, it was a little heavy, but it was not good to take it off again.
"Queen Mother, this ceremony...... It's too heavy. Xia Jinse said carefully.
"It's not heavy, it's not heavy, you're a lucky star for the mourning family, what's wrong with the mourning family giving you a hairpin! Take it! In this way, Empress Dowager Zhang looked at the golden appearance on Xia Jinse's head with a smile, and she was able to eliminate a little uneasiness.
Mama Song was stunned, and she didn't dare to persuade Lan Bei
Chen smiled: "Erchen Dai Jinse thanks to the queen mother." β
Xia Jinse could only salute and thank you, but she knew that she was in big trouble again.
The nine-feather golden phoenix hairpin that was only passed on to the queen actually came to her head, and when it was seen by others, she could guess what kind of turmoil it would cause.
Out of Shoukun Palace, Xia Jinse didn't know what her mood was, looking at Lan Beichen, she finally reached out and took off the nine golden phoenix hairpins.
"Don't wear it anymore?" Lan Beichen looked at her.
"Wearing a perm!" Xia Jinse pursed his lips and handed it to him: "When I was seen, I couldn't tell anything with ten mouths, so you should keep it." β
"Why do I keep the things that the Queen Mother gave you?" Lan Beichen didn't answer.
"If you don't take it, will I take it home? When the family saw it, they could guess what was going to happen. Xia Jinse didn't want to see Xia Yanxiu look shocked and ecstatic, let alone Lan Beichen being criticized and suspicious because of this.
He was already in a high position, if she wore an ornament on her head that only a queen could have, then what was Lan Beichen?
There are some rumors that it is better not to give birth, lest right and wrong go together, that is a big deal!
Only then did Lan Beichen take the nine golden phoenix hairpins in Xia Jinse's hand and let the broken star be put away.
Coming out of Shoukun Palace, it was still early before the birthday banquet, and the two of them walked around, happy and comfortable.
"I usually don't have time, and I don't have much time to take you around, but today I'll take you to a place, and it's the only one I can see in this palace." Lan Beichen said as he walked in one direction with Xia Jinse.
Shattered Star and Leng Mo followed from a distance, not daring to disturb the solitude of the two.
After walking for a while, the surroundings became more and more remote, but the scenery became better and better, and it seemed to be somewhere in the Imperial Garden. The sea of flowers in the sky is purple and red, blooming with the splendor, making people feel like they are in a dreamy fairyland.
Blue ......
Xia Jinse was just about to ask something, when he pointed to the hand in front of him, and vaguely saw two figures in front of him.
She looked at it, under the huge flower tree, weren't it Xia Ruxue and the eldest prince Lan Jingcheng?
