Chapter Ninety-Six

The two drank half a cup of tea, Bai Yuan came back and knocked on the door, took two small bags of dim sum and said to Qu Muge: "I heard that when the Queen Mother worships the Buddha, she has to fast for a whole day, and she doesn't even have a fast today, and she can't eat until she goes home in the evening." You hide this bag of snacks, and eat a little secretly when you are hungry. ”

He gave one pack of Qu Muge and the other to Xie Zhiyin.

Xie Zhiyin didn't expect that he was also taken care of, and was a little surprised, and after that, he thanked Bai Yuan very formally.

Bai Yuan replied: "Miss Xie doesn't have to be polite, you take care of the princess a lot, and you are like a sister, in my eyes, you are the same as your own sister." ”

Xie Zhiyin said embarrassedly: "Where do I take care of the princess, the princess doesn't dislike it, and looks up to me." ”

Bai Yuan replied: "During the flower god banquet in the palace in March, the fourth princess slandered Princess Taixuan in public, you spoke out and wrote poems to satirize, I heard about it." Miss Xie's character, talent and righteousness are all admirable. ”

Bai Yuanhui recited: "'Yunli Yan Village Yuli Beach, it's easy to see but difficult to do. I knew that I didn't know that it was in the human eye, so I bought more rouge to paint peonies. 'It's so good that it doesn't fit into the eyes of the people, and it's really a celebrity and a gentleman. ”

Peony is the national color and fragrance, in the flower banquet, the official woman will not allow herself to be a peony, only the princess dares to compare herself.

And Xie Zhiyin ridiculed the four princesses in public for not being in the eyes of the people, and praised Taixuan, who was born in the countryside, but was fresh and elegant, which can be described as quite bold and presumptuous.

Qu Muge couldn't help but feel afraid of her when she heard it, and she really felt that this girl was a little arrogant and solid-eyed, and she stood up for her, but she didn't mention a word.

Xie Zhiyin lowered his head and blushed, and said in a low voice: "Lord Bai, don't mention it again, that's just my arrogant remarks, and I was severely reprimanded by my mother when I went home." ”

Qu Muge looked at the two of them and gradually realized something different.

Xie Zhiyin always came to Taixuanguan in his previous life, was it really to worship the Buddha? It shouldn't be to meet Bai Yuanhui by chance, right?

Suddenly, Qu Muge became excited, and he didn't have fun until he was happy.

"Sister Bosom Friend, is there anything else going on? You stand up for me, I don't even know it! Fortunately, my cousin admires you and even memorizes your poems so that he can tell me about it. ”

Bai Yuanhui was told by her like this, and also felt that he seemed to pay too much attention to Xie Zhiyin, so it was rude to the girl's family, so he hurriedly made an excuse and said: "The queen mother's honor should be coming soon, I will go out and wait for news, you are also ready to come out." ”

Bai Yuan went back for a while, but Xie Zhiyin's face was still red.

Qu Muge drank tea with a smile, and didn't say much on the side, believing that Xie Zhiyin had his own thoughts in his heart.

Empress Dowager Yu and Xiang Simin came in the same car, according to Feng Hu, Xiang Simin went to the palace to ask for peace with the noble concubine, and then came out with Empress Dowager Yu, which shows that she already clearly knows that she has to survive in the cracks......

Xiang Simin is not very old, sixteen years old, thin and weak, looks very quiet, and does not speak loudly, but it is very different from Xiang Guifei.

There were also two princesses, Li Muyan and Li Mujin, and after everyone greeted each other, they were led by the host of Yaowang Temple and went to the main hall.

After the Queen Mother offered incense and prayed, she ordered her to present the scriptures she copied by herself, and asked the presiding officer to recite the scriptures and open the light.

Qu Muge also asked Huanhuan to take her copy of the "Medicine Master Liuliguang Rulai Original Wish Merit Sutra", saying: "The emperor's grandmother and granddaughter also copied a Buddhist scripture, hoping that the medicine king Bodhisattva can keep the emperor's grandmother and father healthy and safe." ”

Empress Dowager Yu glanced at her in surprise, when she was a teenager, she was just the time to be pretty and noisy, and she could copy the scriptures quietly?

She personally took the Buddhist scriptures from Huanhuan's hand and watched, on the yellow gold-sprinkled paper, the handwriting was immature, not a good word, but neat, it could be seen that it was with thought, and she copied it herself.

Empress Dowager Yu nodded in appreciation: "It's rare that you have this thought, and the Bodhisattva will definitely perceive your sincerity." ”

Qu Muge then said: "My granddaughter was rescued in the Xiaoleiyin Temple in Jinling on the Buddha's birthday last year, so my granddaughter believes that it is the Buddha's manifestation that can reunite with her relatives and worship the Buddha. ”

Empress Dowager Yu thought for a while and said, "Xiaoleiyin Temple is the new temple donated by Gu Hou?" It is said that the battle was very large. ”

Qu Muge said: "Yes, it is a temple built by Mrs. Gu for the deceased soldiers in order to pray for the early pacification of the war. ”

Empress Dowager Yu smiled and said, "Changle gave birth to a killing god, which is enough for her to worry about." ”

Qu Muge raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, and Empress Dowager Yu called Mrs. Gu's maiden name, which sounded very close.

The presiding officer of Yaowang Temple has set up the altar, Qu Muge no longer speaks, retreats and kneels again, and sings the scriptures with the host.

After consecrating the scriptures, Empress Dowager Yu also invited the master to give a lecture in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Qu Muge, Xie Zhiyin, and Xiang Simin were able to accompany them patiently, Li Muyan and Li Mujin were already a little unbearable, and Li Mujin even made a frantic expression at Qu Muge and asked for help.

Seeing that her kneeling foot was about to cramp, Qu Muge kindly helped, and said to the Empress Dowager Yu: "Imperial grandmother, I want to take my sisters to the release pool to release the animals, is it okay?" ”

Empress Dowager Yu originally thought that Qu Muge was a little opportunistic, and she knew how to make her happy, making her feel that the little girl was too drilling, but now she is willing to take care of her sister and give up the opportunity to serve in front of her, but she also has some true feelings.

Empress Dowager Yu turned back to Li Muyan and Li Mujin and said, "Good students follow Taixuan, don't run around." ”

Li Mujin quickly got up, endured his happiness and said, "Yes, my granddaughter must listen to the third sister." ”

Out of the Scripture Pavilion, Bai Yuanhui took the guards to protect him, and the three princesses were led by Xiao Shami to the release pool.

Li Mujin complained: "I almost broke my instep, but fortunately, the imperial grandmother likes you, and you promise to say anything......"

Qu Muge said: "Grandmother Huang also likes you, and she will be considerate of you if you dare to speak." ”

Li Mujin coaxed her shoulders, because of Li Muzhen's provocation, she has had a knot with Empress Dowager Yu since she was a child, and it can't be repaired in a day or two.

Li Muyan has always been quiet and the least courageous, but at this time she said: "The imperial grandmother wants Sister Simin to accompany her today, and we are all the same if we are not there." ”

Li Mujin gossiped with Qu Muge: "Third sister, do you know? Miss Xiang is the imperial concubine chosen by the imperial grandmother for the eldest brother, and the noble concubine did not agree after knowing it, and went all the way to her father. ”

Qu Muge asked, "What is the reason why the noble concubine does not agree?" ”

You can't just say that you're fighting for resources for the three princes, right?

"It seems to say that the Xiang family has been favored and does not want to make the mistakes of the Zuo family again." Li Mujin said.

Qu Muge sighed in his heart, Xiang Guifei is also a ruthless person, in order to keep the resources of the Xiang family in her own hands, she is willing to cut off the Qingyun Road of the Xiang family.

For the Xiang family, the best result is naturally that the third prince will become a big treasure, but the eldest prince has now taken the lead as an adult, and it is most appropriate for the Xiang family to make preparations with both hands.

So I'm afraid this matter can't be as Xiang Gui Concubine's wishes.
