Chapter 696: Niang Niang wants to repay her vow
696
Seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival is coming, Dazhou has always had the custom of praying for blessings during the Dragon Boat Festival. Those who have evil diseases, sins, and sins will be fulfilled when they fast and pray before the Dragon Boat Festival.
Cuiming Palace is cold and fragrant, and under the eaves is a water curtain, which is dripping and draining, blocking the heat from the door.
The twelve-foot ivory mat from southern Yunnan is spread on the ebony couch, black and white correspondingly, quiet and graceful.
There is only one mat in the whole country, and it is extremely rare because it costs countless costs. This one was originally made by the king of southern Yunnan when he was married, and he was reluctant to use it. It is said that before this mat was about to be sent to the Great Zhou, the king of southern Yunnan threw himself on it and wept bitterly.
This mat was given to the emperor after the Great Zhou Dynasty and felt that it was too extravagant, so he never took it out and used it.
The current emperor has not used it, but now he loves Concubine Zeng Li, and she has given birth to a child, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter, so he thinks of this ivory mat.
The emperor's complexion is very bad, and there are signs of a faint attack of headache.
Concubine Zeng Li handed over the five princes to the nurse and grandmother, and she asked the emperor to lie on this ivory mat, pillow on the jade pillow, and gently massage him.
The emperor closed his eyes as if he was asleep, and Concubine Zeng Li's hand suddenly stopped, frowning a little sadly.
The emperor felt it all of a sudden, opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Concubine Zeng Li smiled and said, "It's nothing, I've often been dizzy lately, probably because the weather is hot." ”
"Call a doctor to come over," the emperor said, "You have only given birth for a short time, and the loss of your body may not have been made up yet." ”
"It's okay for the emperor to think about it." Zeng Lifei said: "The doctors in the hospital are very dedicated. ”
"Actually, the doctors can't see Niangniang's illness well." Baishun whispered to the side.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Concubine Zeng Li scolded softly, she would never shout in front of the emperor, and even crying was thin and low.
"What the hell is going on? What disease do you have, concubine? "The emperor is very concerned, he usually has a lot of things, and he didn't notice anything wrong with Concubine Zeng Li. But now that I look closely, I see that she is much thinner than before.
"The concubine is fine, Your Majesty does not need to worry." Concubine Zeng Li said firmly: "Don't listen to the nonsense of the minions. They've always been like this, they like to make a big fuss. ”
Bai Shun lowered his head a little aggrieved, and secretly glanced at the emperor from time to time, and stopped talking.
The emperor became more and more suspicious because of this, and ordered: "Baishun, you tell me the truth, what happened to Niangniang?" ”
"Your Majesty, Concubine Li has been uncomfortable for some days, but she doesn't allow us to say it," Bai Shun knelt down and said: "I thought about it more than two months ago, one day Niangniang woke up in a dream, saying that in the dream, there was a golden armor god who glared angrily at this Niangniang. The mother was very frightened and asked herself where she had offended the gods.
The man of God said that the mother made a wish and did not return it, which was a great disrespect to the Buddha and wanted to bring disaster to her. The mother pleaded in a dream, and when she woke up, she still had palpitations. Since then, I've been in a bit of a trance, and I've had the same dreams every once in a while. It's just that every time in front of His Majesty, Niangniang tries her best to hide it and doesn't let you see the slightest.
There were a few times when the slave wanted to tell His Majesty, but the mother didn't allow it. Say that you have a lot of opportunities and don't want to worry about you anymore. I don't want to worry about you anymore. But recently, the mother's discomfort has become more and more obvious, and the slave is really worried, so he took the opportunity to say it. Please forgive your Majesty! ”
"What sin are you guilty of faithful protection to the Lord?" The emperor said: "If you don't say it today, how would I know?" ”
turned around and held Zeng Lifei's hand, and sighed: "How can this kind of thing be hidden? As the king of a country, can I allow the woman I love to suffer? ”
At this time, Concubine Zeng Li was already in tears, and she didn't know whether she was wronged or moved, and said: "It's really worrying Your Majesty, the concubine should die." The concubine was in danger when she was young, and she once made a wish, if she can have a good home in the future, she will go to the temple to eat fasting Buddha for three months, in order to repay my Buddha's blessing.
Since giving birth to Yu'er, the concubine is often in a trance, and the imperial doctor diagnoses the pulse and says that the concubine is not sick. But the frequent nightmares still made me feel uneasy, and the concubine remembered to repay the vow. However, it is impossible to go out of the palace to worship the Buddha for three months as a concubine, which not only mobilizes the people, but also makes people misunderstand.
Originally, the emperor's excessive favor for me has made many people dissatisfied, and it is inevitable that there will be rumors behind my back. Although the discussion is about concubines, in fact, it is also hurt by His Majesty's majesty. As the saying goes, more is better than less. So the concubines kept going on without saying anything. ”
"If you have made a wish, of course you have to repay your wish, which is understandable. If it was necessary to build a meditation hall for you in the palace in previous years, but now that the queen mother has died for less than a year, the harem is not allowed to build construction, which is really difficult. "The emperor said.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang, the slave has an expedient solution." Baishun on the side said.
"How? Listen to it, if it works, it's best. The emperor asked with great interest.
The slave also felt that he had to repay his wish after making a wish, otherwise his mother's illness would not be good. But it is impossible to leave the palace for three months as a mother, but it is enough to fast outside the palace for three days by day instead of month. "Bai Shun said.
"This method is good," the emperor nodded approvingly: "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that days replace months, and months replace years." ”
"No," Concubine Zeng Li shook her head resolutely and said, "Only the Son of Heaven can replace the month with the day, and the month with the year." What am I? How dare you be so rude? Isn't this becoming more and more realistic? ”
"Damn it, it's the minions who are confused!" As soon as Concubine Zeng Li's words fell, Bai Shun was so frightened that her face changed and she slapped her two mouths fiercely.
"Concubine Li is very thoughtful, so let's say that I left the palace to fast." The emperor said: "So no one will say anything." You follow me out of the palace, and you only say to the outside world that you are going to relax, and then you will come back to the palace with me after the fast is over. ”
"Your Majesty really loves the concubines so much, if Your Majesty can go out of the palace with the concubines, it will be the best. The concubine thought that His Majesty had been worried and had lost his diet recently, and thought that if you could go out of the palace to relax, maybe you could relax your spirit and relieve your grief. ”
The emperor was also quite sad because of the matter of the second prince, and he had nowhere to go, so he couldn't help but be moved after listening to Concubine Zeng Li's suggestion.
These days are too depressing, both the former dynasty and the harem, and it is not necessary to go out for a walk.
Therefore, he happily agreed: "It's settled, I will ask Qu Qing to prepare for relevant matters, and we will leave the palace the day after tomorrow." If it's not suitable for other places, go to Daxiangguo Temple! The pure place of Buddhism will surely make people understand and transcend the sea of suffering. I took Yu'er with me, and just called Ran to write him a peace charm and put it on. ”
