Chapter 168: Prayer for Blessing (1)
The rebellion of the Pei family gradually disappeared in mid-September, and no one would mention the brave and warlike General Pei, and more than a dozen officials involved in the case were deposed and exiled one after another.
The imperial court decided to open Enke this autumn to select a batch of manufacturable materials for the imperial court of the great blood exchange.
And Empress Shen Wan also decided to go to the royal temple Yuhua Temple this autumn to pray for the blessing of the imperial court and harem.
Set a good day and auspicious day, and then inform the temple to prepare, and then arrange the entourage, Cui Shanggong handed over the list of thousands of choices to Shen Wan, Shen Wan didn't mind very much, this time it was just her queen traveling, there were no other concubines, and there was a lot less tongue.
"Chen Ronghua's fetus is also two months old, and the people in the hospital are watching it carefully, and there must be no mistakes." Chen Ronghua is the promoted Qi concubine, Shen Wan instructed while watching Chun'er clean up.
It was difficult to get out of the palace, Chun'er was excited, and said with a grin: "I know, the slave will tell the people in the Tai Hospital, keep an eye on it." But Imperial Doctor Sun still has to follow us to Yuhua Temple, right? Otherwise, if the lady violates the harmony, wouldn't it be more troublesome. It's better to bring Doctor Sun with you. ”
Shen Wan glanced at her and said with a smile: "You understand this truth!" ”
Chun'er sighed: "I originally thought that you had a dragon fetus!" The slave and maid are happy, who knows......" At this point, he began to sigh again.
Shen Wan was not annoyed, and said with a smile to Xiangming: "This girl has a dragon fetus on the left and a dragon fetus on the right, and she will wash her on the dragon bed in the Qiangong Palace, so that she can be pregnant with a dragon fetus, and she will be chattering here." ”
Chun'er had already blushed, but she was not annoyed, and she was anxious for a long time before she said: "Where is this like what a queen said!" He didn't clean it up, but opened the curtain and ran out.
Xiangming smiled helplessly: "This Nizi is a solid eye." He lowered his voice and asked, "Niangniang is here to pray for blessings, are you worried about Chen Ronghua's dragon fetus?" ”
Shen Wan nodded, and said with a straight face: "Although Concubine Pei has been eliminated now, there are still people in the palace who make the palace feel uneasy!" She has harmed so many people, but she is very deeply hidden, and this palace has no way to deal with her for the time being......"
Xiangming asked in a low voice, "Is Niangniang talking about Yao Ronghua?" ”
Shen Wan gritted her teeth and said, "Who else but her!" ”
Xiangming was silent, and in silence, Chun'er came in again, and said with a strange face: "Yao Ronghua is here." ”
Shen Wan and Xiangming glanced at each other, and Shen Wan let her in.
Unexpectedly, Yao Ronghua actually asked the queen to take her to Yuhua Temple.
Shen Wan felt strange in her heart, and just said: "It's good that you have such intentions, but this time the palace and the emperor said that they are not going to take the rest of the concubines with them." Why did Sister Ronghua have to go? ”
Yao Ronghua smiled humbly: "I didn't want to embarrass the queen, but I just prayed for such a thing, and the concubine has always wanted to follow the mother." One is for the national fortune of my Northern Dynasties, the second is for Chen Ronghua's dragon fetus, and the third is ...... Alas, the queen mother's body is becoming more and more unhappy, and the concubine, as a relative of the queen mother, very much hopes to go to Yuhua Temple to pray for the queen mother and ask for a peace charm for the queen mother. ”
Shen Wan smiled: "Since my sister is so filial, this palace is naturally gracious." Then he said to Cui Shanggong: "Add Yao Ronghua's name as well." ”
"Yes."
Shen Wan and Yao Ronghua looked at each other and smiled, but they had their own thoughts, and Shen Wan who Yao Ronghua was thinking in his heart didn't know. But she was sure that the idea of taking Yao Ronghua out of the palace and not letting her fight the dragon fetus no matter what her purpose was. If you can keep the dragon fetus, that's the most important thing!
When the queen travels, how to streamline the staff, it also takes more than 100 people, plus there is also a Ronghua, so there are 200 people who go out with her.
When you arrive at Yuhua Temple, Yuhua Temple is worthy of being a royal temple, with magnificent momentum and towering.
Climb the stairs, and you will see three gilded characters on the gatehouse: Yuhua Temple. It was the handwriting of the Holy Ancestor Emperor. Since the Northern Dynasty entered the customs, great importance has been attached to Buddhist temples, and the youngest son of Emperor Shengzu has become a monk here, and he is the last presiding officer.
And now the presiding officer is the great-grandfather of Empress Xie, the wife of the first emperor - the people in the royal temple are extremely prominent. In addition to this host, there is also the eighth brother of the current saint who is a monk here, and he is also Shen Wan's cousin.
The treasure in the Daxiong Treasure Hall is solemn, Shen Wan went first to bow to the Buddha and burn incense, and after respectfully bowing, he was guided by the host to take a rest in the Zen courtyard prepared at the back.
There is a large pond behind the temple, the water is calm and clear, and the water is full of lazy fish. There are nine curved corridors, pavilions and pavilions on the pond, and there are fishing stone workshops. When the emperors of the past came here to pray for blessings, they would sit here and meditate.
There is also a stone arch bridge at the rear, which is carved from white marble, which is not inferior to the palace buildings at all. The host led the queen and others to walk on the arch bridge, and when they saw the corridor on one side, they felt that the scenery was pleasant and the weather was magnificent.
There is a couplet hanging on the door outside the meditation room, which is the famous "winding path leads to the secluded place, and the meditation room is deep with flowers and trees." Shen Wan looked up and smiled slightly.
The size of the meditation room was the same, Shen Wan entered one of the rooms, and the others were on the left and right, and Yao Ronghua's room was arranged at some distance.
As soon as she sat down, Shen Wan said to Cui Shanggong: "Teacher, why didn't I see my cousin among the people who greeted me today, can the teacher help me ask?" ”
Cui Shanggong asked: "Dare to ask what is the legal name of the eighth prince after he became a monk?" ”
Shen Wan thought for a while and said, "Perfection." ”
Cui Shanggong nodded, went out to help her ask, and came back after a while and said, "The little master outside said that the supreme master was chanting and did not greet Niangniang." ”
Shen Wan sighed and said lonely: "Got it." ”
Cui Shanggong comforted: "Niangniang is not here for a day or two, and there will always be a chance to meet the eighth prince." ”
Shen Wan smiled and said, "Since this is the case, the teacher will order all the monks to chant for the dragon fetus!" Later, the main shrine will pray for blessings in person. ”
Cui Shanggong quickly conveyed the news, and soon, even in the backyard, those deep chanting voices could be heard.
Shen Wan sat on the futon, and suddenly thought: I don't know which of these voices is my cousin's.
A little later, she was about to go out, and just happened to see Yao Ronghua also out of the meditation room.
So, the two went to the main hall together.
The monks who chanted the sutras had not yet dispersed, with their backs to them, wearing blue robes, shaved scalps, each holding a handful of wooden fish in their hands, chanting the Diamond Sutra in their mouths.
Shen Wan wanted to find her cousin through the backs of these people, but found that in the end it was just in vain - their backs were all the same, Tsing Yi, bald heads, and solemn.
She was a little disappointed, and looked at Yao Ronghua helplessly, but found that the disappointment in Yao Ronghua's eyes did not have to be less. It's really strange, Shen Wan thought like this, is she also looking for some old person?
Feeling the queen's strange gaze, Yao Ronghua put away his eyes and bowed his head slightly.
