Dayue has always believed in Buddhism, and there is also a palace specially set out as a Buddha hall in the palace of Dayue, called the Jade Chan Palace. Recently, there have been many events in the palace, and a few days ago, something happened to Shen Meiren, and Liu Yuanzhi thought about going to the Jade Zen Hall to worship.

Hanyue and Liu Yuanzhi both came to this Jade Zen Hall for the first time. I saw that in the main hall of the Jade Zen Palace, in the middle is the Buddha Shakyamuni, on both sides are Amitabha Buddha and Medicine Buddha, three big Buddhas sit on the lotus seat, and the expression is serene.

Behind the three Buddhas is a giant painted sculpture of Guanyin on the island. On the screen, Guanyin Bodhisattva is standing on the head of the Ao, surrounded by many good fortune boys who are doing fifty-three visits and receiving the teachings of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Under the wall sculpture are eighteen Arhat statues of different shapes, some are peaceful and kind, and some are strong and brave. On both sides of the main hall are statues of the Twenty Heavenly Gods, the gods who uphold the Dharma.

The whole hall is very solemn and solemn, sacred and cannot be desecrated. Hanyue was in the middle of the main hall, and her heart felt very calm.

Concubine Mu De respects Buddhism, and she has to go to the Jade Zen Hall every day to worship the Buddha, and she has never slackened off for ten years. Han Yue and Liu Yuanzhi chose this time to come today, and they will inevitably meet Concubine Mu De.

"The concubine has seen Concubine Mu De, and the mother is blessed with Jin'an." Liu Yuanzhi saluted respectfully, and Han Yue followed behind Liu Yuanzhi and saluted.

Concubine Mu De was still wearing the dark green Tuanfu Palace dress, holding a string of sandalwood Buddhist beads in her hand. She said to the two people in front of her with kind eyes, "Get up, don't be polite." ”

Concubine Mu De looked at Liu Yuanzhi dressed plainly and unassumingly. The cold moon behind her is also clear eyebrows and clean rules. Suddenly, I couldn't help but feel a little more good for the person in front of me, "There are many young concubines in the palace, but there are very few who can come to worship the Buddha like you." ”

Liu Yuanzhi gathered her mind, and there was still a little melancholy between her eyebrows, "The concubine came just to chant for the deceased, pray for the living, and do a little bit of effort, and it should be quiet." ”

Concubine Mu De sighed when she heard this, her expression was slightly sentimental, "It's a pity that the palace heard about the Shen beauty in your palace." In life, there are always countless sufferings, birth, old age, sickness, death, love and parting, what you want, resentment and hatred, sorrow and sorrow, all suffering. ”

"In the human world, both yin and yin are suffering. Shen Meiren went, but it was a relief, I hope everything will go well in the next life. Liu Yuanzhi looked at the solemn Buddha statue in the hall and sighed.

After Concubine Mu De and Liu Yuanzhi said a few words, they each calmed down and went to worship the Buddha, and after the ceremony, the two of them left together.

Concubine Mu De and Liu Yuanzhi were talking in front, and Han Yue followed behind the two. Walking along the way, Han Yue noticed that Concubine Mu De was always holding a delicate longevity lock in her hand, she heard that after giving birth to the eldest princess, Concubine Mu De was also pregnant with a child, but for some reason, she did not save it in the end, and she was injured and never got pregnant again. It is said that it was a male fetus that had been formed! One can imagine how heartbroken Concubine Mu De was at the beginning. Han Yue thought about it, this longevity lock may have been created by Concubine Mu De for her unborn child with great joy, but now, she can only keep it for thought.

It's only been a few days, and the tulipwood next to the palace road has already turned yellow. But think about it, although the weather is still hot now, but after all, it is autumn, and it will not be long before you will see the depressed autumn scenery full of yellow leaves and the west wind cooling itself.

A gust of wind blew on the ground, and the leaves of the trees sounded together, one after another, like waves crashing on the shore. The wind howled and raised the sand and dust on the ground, which could not help but blind everyone. Seeing this, Concubine Mu De and Liu Yuanzhi hurriedly turned sideways and raised their sleeves to shield themselves from the wind and sand in front of them. The wind blew for a while, and then finally stopped. The leaves of tulipwood on the side have been scraped off a lot.

A leaf staggered down from the high branch, and when Hanyue saw it, she couldn't help but reach out and catch the leaf. It was a nice green leaf, but the edges were a little yellowed, but it was mercilessly blown off by the wind, ending its life. Han Yue looked at the unfortunate early death leaf in the palm of his hand and muttered, "The beings of the Three Realms, the six pleasures of reincarnation, are like spinning fire wheels. ”

"The Buddha Samadhi Sutra Volume 6?" On this side, Concubine Mu De saw that the wind and sand had passed, and as soon as she put down her hand, she heard Han Yue's muttering. For a palace maid to be able to say such a Buddhist truth, she couldn't help but be surprised.

When Han Yue was still in the boudoir of Xiaofu, she read a wide range of books from poetry and poetry to the history of Zhuzi Sutra, from astronomy and geography to Zen Buddhist scriptures. In addition, Hanyue's mother, Mrs. Xiao, believes in Buddhism, and Hanyue has been exposed to it since she was a child, so she is particularly interested in these simple words, but the meaning of Buddhism and Zen is far-reaching.

Now that Han Yue saw this Xiao Xiao and fallen leaves, she couldn't help but remember the reincarnation of life in the Buddhist scriptures, and blurted out. But he never thought that he would attract the attention of Concubine Mu De, Han Yue's expression narrowed, and he said, "When the slave was at home, she had read a few Buddhist scriptures and learned some Buddhist principles, and now when she saw such a scene, she blurted out without paying attention for a while, and hoped that the mother would forgive her sins." ”

Concubine Mu De didn't mean to blame at all, but said to Liu Yuanzhi with a smile, "You maid knows a lot. ”

Liu Yuanzhi smiled slightly, "Yue'er has always liked to read. ”

"It's rare to have a master like you who allows a servant girl to read and write." Concubine Mudder praised. Liu Yuanzhi knew that Concubine Mu De had misunderstood, but she couldn't explain it, so she had to smile.

Concubine Mudder then looked at Han Yue, "Then do you believe this theory of karmic reincarnation?" ”

Hanyue replied firmly, "The slave believes. ”。

Concubine Mu De glanced at Han Yue and smiled slightly, but there was some chill and bitterness in this smile, "This palace also believed in this theory of cause and effect reincarnation, believed in cause and effect reincarnation, and retribution was unpleasant." However, this is not the case. After she finished speaking, the hand holding the longevity lock tightened again.

Han Yue looked at it, and suddenly remembered what Nangong Heng had said, it seems that Concubine Mu De's loss of her beloved son must have another hidden secret, perhaps as Nangong Heng said, it was the queen's hand. Han Yue paused and continued, "The slave maid remembers that the Mahayana "Great Treasure Accumulation Sutra" Buddha Yun: The six harmony of all karma are gathered, and the creator drives them away, such as the debtor, chasing people without saying anything, it is the result of all karma, there is no one who can turn around, and there is no place to escape, and there is no way to avoid mourning. If there are hundreds of eons and the work is not destroyed, when karma meets, the retribution will be retributed. Therefore, the slave and maid believe in this theory of karmic reincarnation, and the slave and maid also implore the mother to believe it. Because it will bear fruit, and karma will be rewarded, and it is not that it will not be rewarded, but the time has not yet come. ”

Concubine Mude nodded when she heard this, and stopped talking about the topic. Then she looked at Han Yue very curiously, "I didn't expect you to be so familiar with Buddhist scriptures at a young age, and it seems that you are also a person who is related to Buddha." ”

Concubine Mu De felt that Han Yue, as Liu Yuanzhi's maidservant, could know so much about Buddhism, and Liu Yuanzhi, as the master of Cold Moon, knew more, so she said to Liu Yuanzhi, "If you are free in the future, you can take her to the Wenyuan Hall of Jiaofeng Palace more often, and accompany the palace to discuss Buddhism." ”

"Yes." Liu Yuanzhi replied. Concubine Mu De saw that Liu Yuanzhi and Han Yue looked the same as before, without nervousness, nor joy and flattery, and she had more appreciation in her heart.

When Liu Yuan Zhifang returned to the Linhua Palace, he saw Qingli and An Shun leading Zi Mo, Lu Ping, Bai Wei and others to clean the hall. Seeing that everyone in the hall was busy, Xiao Guizi took the initiative to take over the work of serving tea. But I never thought that because Xiao Guizi had always done some rough errands, and had never done such fine work of serving tea and handing water, the tea poured was inevitably too hot. Liu Yuanzhi was not careful, and was burned as soon as she took a sip. She hurriedly put the teacup in her hand on the small table, and because she was in a hurry, some tea spilled out and splashed on her hand.

When Xiao Guizi saw it, he was immediately frightened, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The slave should die, the slave should die." ”

Liu Yuanzhi knew that Xiao Guizi couldn't do such things, so she didn't blame it, she said softly, "It's not tight, and it's not burned, just wipe it with a handkerchief later." Get up, don't kowtow, I don't blame you. ”

Although Liu Yuanzhi said this, Xiao Guizi thought that he had made a mistake, and he knelt and kowtowed and refused to get up.

Han Yue looked a little helpless, so she said, "Little Guizi, if you continue to kowtow like this, others will still think that the little master is such an unreasonable and ruthless person." ”

When Xiao Guizi heard this, he immediately stopped his movements, raised his eyes and said, "How good the little master treats the minions, the minions can save it." How can the little lord be a bad person, he is a great good man. ”

"Then you don't hurry up." Liu Yuanzhi said.

"Thank you, little master." Xiao Guizi got up from the ground and patted the dust on his clothes, "Then the slave will go and make you a cup of tea again." He said this and walked away in a huff.

Liu Yuanzhi smiled and shook her head, she reached out to take the handkerchief and wipe the water stains on her hands, but when she stretched out her hand, she grabbed a void, "Alas? Where's my veil? ”

Hanyue thought for a moment and asked, "Could it be that it will fall in the Jade Zen Hall?" Xu was the little master who accidentally fell when he worshipped the Buddha. ”

Liu Yuanzhi nodded, "I think it should be, why am I so careless." ”

"The slave went to the Jade Zen Hall to look for it." Hanyue said.

Liu Yuanzhi said to stop it, "It's just a silk handkerchief, if you lose it, you lose it, it's not a big deal." ”

Han Yue didn't quite agree, "Little master, although it is just a handkerchief, the value is not big, but the handkerchief is embroidered with your name, what if someone has a bad heart to pick it up?" When Liu Yuanzhi heard this, she was shocked. Yes, this is in the palace, and the harem concubines are fighting endlessly, so no one will take the opportunity to do this harmful thing.

"Seeing that the flowers in the hall are about to wilt, the slave maid just went to the flower room to get some fresh flowers, and when she came back, she went to the Jade Zen Palace." Seeing Han Yue say this, Liu Yuanzhi agreed.

When Hanyue went to the flower room, there happened to be no one, and the little waiter who was in charge of raising flowers saw that Hanyue was coming, and naturally knew that she was the maid of Liu Cairen, who was now being favored, so he greeted her diligently, "Miss Yue'er is here." ”

Han Yue smiled and returned the salute, "Father-in-law Li." ”

Li Qin shook his hand when he heard this, "Hey, Miss Yue'er is polite, what is Little Li's father-in-law, just call me Little Lizi." ”

Han Yue knew that Li Qin was polite, and she couldn't take it as a blessing, so she still asked respectfully, "Little Father-in-law Li, I'll take some flowers for the little master and go back to bottle them, what are the beautiful and elegant flowers now?" ”

After hearing this, Li Qin looked around in the flower room, and finally pointed to a large bouquet of flowers inserted in the white porcelain vase and said, "It's late summer and early autumn, and it's the best time to be a wood hibiscus." ”

Wood hibiscus, also known as the three-change flower, or frost-resistant flower. Its flowers are white or pink or red, bright like hibiscus out of the water, like the petals of the flowers, so it is called the hibiscus flower. Its flowers begin to bloom in autumn, the frost invades the dew but is rich and gorgeous, and the color of the flowers changes three times a day, which can be said to occupy the autumn style.

Han Yue looked at it, and was quite satisfied, so she said, "Then listen to what Xiao Li's father-in-law said, and choose Mu Furong." ”

Because I had to go to the Jade Zen Hall later, it was really inconvenient to hold such a large bunch of flowers in my hand, so Hanyue asked Li Qin for a bamboo basket and put the wood hibiscus in it. With the basket in your hand, it is easy to walk.
