Chapter 457: Prayer

In July, it has not rained for a long time, and the drought has begun to appear, the prince personally went to the Nanshan Daqing Buddha Temple to pray for blessings, and the king of Chu, the princess, and the emperor Zhu'er went together.

The carriages were connected end to end, and the huge procession attracted the people to stop and watch.

Murong Mian didn't ride a horse, he sat side by side with Bai Qianfan in the sedan chair, one hand on the curtain, and the other hand shaking the fan for his daughter-in-law, "Are you thirsty?" Do you want to drink water? ”

Bai Qianfan shook his head, "How long is it coming, I'm sleepy." ”

He reached out and hugged her and put her on his lap, "Sleep, I'll call you when it's time." ”

Bai Qianfan snorted, she was really dozed off by the sedan chair, probably because it was too hot, she has been getting more and more sleepy recently, sometimes the maids don't call her, and she can sleep until Murong Mian comes back from the yamen.

She fell asleep after a while, her body swayed with the sedan chair, she was cute and cute, Murong Mian was afraid of falling her, one hand put her shoulder, and the other hand had to shake the fan, which was not hard work, but sweet in her heart.

Hanging his head and looking at her carefully, the little face is sharper than before, the weather is too hot, her appetite is not good these days, and she has been reduced, but look at the body, the big place is not small, he is very happy in his heart, his mind is surging, and he does not dare to make a time, one is afraid of scratching her dream, and the other is to pray for blessings, and the heart is not sincere for fear of the Bodhisattva's blame, so he has to endure it for the time being.

The mountain is cooler than the city, the sky is full of big trees, people pass under the shade of the trees, the coolness hits the face, even in the sedan chair can also be felt, Bai Qianfan shrunk his shoulders in his sleep, Murong Mian immediately hugged her tighter, picked the curtain to see the temple not far away, and called her softly, "Qianfan, it's here." ”

Bai Qianfan purred twice, rubbed into his arms, and did not wake up. He lowered his head and kissed her eyes, "Little lazy cat, if you don't wake up, the Bodhisattva will blame." ”

Bai Qianfan snorted, his eyes were half-open, and he yawned, "Have you arrived?" ”

"Well, here we go." Taking advantage of her distraction, he stole a piece of incense from her lips and smiled proudly.

The Great Blue Buddha Temple is the largest and oldest temple in Sioux City, and it is dedicated to Guanyin. The statue of Guanyin is very large, sitting on the lotus pagoda, wearing five Buddha crowns, the face is round, the eyes are lowered, the expression is calm and benevolent, he was originally a golden bronze statue, but I don't know in what year, the copper body is covered by a layer of green glaze, but it makes Guanyin more solemn and fraternal. After that, this place is called the Great Green Buddha Temple, tourists from other places to Sioux City, must admire the mountain to worship this spiritual blue Buddha.

The scriptures copied by Huangfu Zhu'er and Bai Qianfan were enshrined on the incense table, and the two knelt on the futon together, silently reciting the Heart Sutra and praying for blessings. For Huangfu Zhu'er, this is a very common thing, she has a Buddhist hall in her home, the noblewomen of Dongyue advocate Buddhism, and have to do homework every day, she has followed her mother to worship since she was a child, and she has practiced kneeling and meditating on the futon.

Bai Qianfan is different, she is a person who can't sit still, it's not that she can't stand that kneeling, or she can't bear it, but there are not only her and Huangfu Zhu'er in the hall, there is a circle of big monks who knock on the wooden fish and chant the scriptures, she is embarrassed to go, so she has to kneel with her eyes closed, and the sound of chanting reaches her ears, which is the best lullaby, her body shook a few times, her forehead nodded and lay down, and she actually fell asleep there.

Huangfu Zhu'er opened her eyes halfway to look at her, and saw her lying on her stomach honestly, very pious, a little surprised, I didn't expect her to do this, but she looked a little different. But gradually, she became suspicious, because Bai Qianfan actually snored, a very slight sound, one long and one short, very rhythmic, they were close, she heard it clearly.

She immediately caught fire, in such a solemn place, Bai Qianfan actually fell asleep, nodded her head to the ground, pouted her buttocks, and her ugliness was exposed, and even her face was lost.

But she didn't want to open her mouth to remind her, for fear that the big monks would see the joke. I was so annoyed that I couldn't do it, and I looked down on Bai Qianfan more and more.

The king of Chu and the crown prince were arguing in the abbot's house, and the king of Chu knew Bai Qianfan's temperament, and he was afraid that she would not be able to bear it, so he found an excuse to come out to see her.

When I got to the outside of the hall, I was deeply pleased, yes, there was a decent one, no worse than Huangfu Zhu'er. The king of Chu is a person who protects his shortcomings, and he always feels that his daughter-in-law is good at everything, and there is no shortage compared to anyone else.

He folded his hands, stood aside with a smile, and saw Huangfu Zhu'er's bitter and sad face in his spare eyes, he thought that Huangfu Zhu'er couldn't kneel, so he gestured and asked her to hold on for a while. His little daughter-in-law can persist until this point, and Huangfu Zhu'er, who is from everyone's background, may not be able to do it?

But the corners of Huangfu Zhu'er's mouth twitched, and she frequently glanced at him, and there was still a piece of growing affection at the bottom, so he couldn't turn a blind eye, so he had to quietly go over and ask her, "What's wrong?" ”

Huangfu Zhu'er didn't speak, only snorted at Bai Qianfan, Murong Mian walked to Bai Qianfan's side, and was about to stretch out his hand to pat her, when he suddenly heard a mosquito-like hum, he was stunned, his face was unnatural, and he finally understood what Huangfu Zhu'er meant.

What can I do? Princess Chu fell asleep when she prayed for blessings, sleeping so peacefully, and with such a beautiful posture, the Bodhisattva was afraid to laugh out loud when she saw it.

He didn't wake her up, he crossed his hands and carried her out directly.

Good fellow, he still didn't wake up, rubbed in his arms, found a comfortable posture and continued to sleep.

The prince of Chu hugged people, walking slowly in the shade of the tree, not knowing where to go, fortunately, the holy land of Buddhism was quite quiet, and today because of them, they cleared the field, and when they looked up, there was no shadow of a person. He didn't go to the house, he just hugged her and sat under the tree.

The old tree is coiled with roots, the thick roots are thicker than the human thighs, entangled and connected, forming a small pit, Mo Rongmian found the most suitable pit to sit, leaning on the tree pole, the top of his head is a huge canopy, covering the sun, and the broad leaves raise a gentle breeze, so leaning on it, it is very pleasant.

The person in his arms was sleeping soundly, the corners of his mouth were overflowing, he smiled dumbly and rolled up his sleeves to wipe it for her, put his face on her forehead, and closed his eyes gently.

Occasionally, a little bit of sunlight leaked down, jumping on his shoulder, there was a breeze above his head, there was her smell in his breath, a faint sweetness, at this moment, the prince of Chu felt very happy. The crown prince wants power, the emperor wants the country, and he wants such a quiet time.

The husband and wife slept in the afternoon sunshine and breeze, and woke up almost at the same time, looking at each other, both smiling, kissing affectionately, and their eyes were full of joy that could not be hidden.

Knowing that Huangfu Zhu'er had been kneeling in the hall for almost two hours, Bai Qianfan expressed surprise, "Don't say two hours, I can't hold on for half an hour, how did she do it?" Doesn't your knee hurt? ”

"It's not like two hours in one go, there will be a break in between, but it's not easy to stick to it like this, she has practiced, so she can persevere," Murong Mian quipped: "You're not bad, if I don't go, you can stick to it." ”

Bai Qianfan knew that he was laughing at the fact that he fell asleep while praying for blessings, so he felt very embarrassed and changed the topic: "Which temple is for Zi Guanyin, I want to go and worship." ”

She has always wanted a child, and she is a little frightened about asking for a child, tying a red rope to the big tree in the house, counting the days, which day she will have sex and which day she will not be able to have sex, and she has made a list for him, making him cry and laugh.

She wanted to ask for a son, he naturally wanted to take her to the temple of Guanyin to ask for a son as she wished, Bai Qianfan knelt on the futon, put his hands together, and said something in his mouth, serious and pious, Murong Mian stood aside, a little conflicted in his heart, he didn't want Bai Qianfan to worry, but he didn't want the child to come so soon.
