Yuhua Pavilion is a place of devotion and meditation, so Zhang Fuxin can't bring too many palace people to serve, so only Tang Wan and Bai Xue follow.

After she cleaned up, she moved into the side compartment of Yuhua Pavilion, this house is not as good as Tang Wan's solitary residence in Yongcui Pavilion, and it has fallen into dust in many places, Bai Xue is very conscientious and does the rough work.

Zhang Fuxin took Tang Wan to other pavilions, this one is dedicated to the Bodhisattva of the earth, with the words "Patience and immobility, like the earth, quiet and deep, like a secret treasure." She shook her head and said, "I don't know much about Buddhism." ”

Tang Wan followed behind her and said, "The Bodhisattva of the Earth is full of merits, but he has not become a Buddha, just because the hell is not empty, he will not become a Buddha, and all sentient beings will be exhausted, so as to prove Bodhi." ”

Zhang Fuxin didn't care, and said a little sadly, "Let me say that hell is empty, and they all put a skin on the world." ”

Tang Wan heard her say this, so she thought happily and said, "But the Bodhisattva is not here, there is one in front of the slave maid, and he is willing to rescue Wan'er and a mortal, otherwise he would have become a dead soul at the bottom of the well." ”

Zhang Fuxin smiled a little, "You are used to making me happy, but then again, how do you know about Buddhism?" ”

Tang Wan said softly, "In the past, my aunt had nothing to rely on, her life was cold and lonely, and Mrs. Zhang got married again, so my aunt only had to worship the Buddha, and the slaves and maids would naturally learn some." ”

Zhang Fuxin nodded, and couldn't help but feel, "I see, I don't know the suffering, I don't believe in gods and Buddhas." ”

When I returned to the house, the lunch box had been placed on the table, but Bai Xue sighed on the side and said, "It is said that there is still one meat and one vegetable left for the little master to cut the food, but this dish is really not good, the chicken soup has been diluted with water, not to mention, there is no piece of meat in it that is decent, either the head of the chicken or the butt of the chicken, or the neck chicken bones, where can I eat, and the leaves of this vegetarian vegetables are yellow." Tang Wan stepped forward to look at the food box, and couldn't help frowning.

Although Zhang Fuxin was forced to move to Yuhua Pavilion, he was not beaten into the cold palace, why was he treated so badly, unless someone greeted these minions, so that they didn't have to treat themselves well, and they couldn't help but feel cold when they thought of this.

"Even mine is like this, presumably your food is not much better, let's go down together, and in the future, we will eat in Yuhua Pavilion without distinguishing between master and servant." After that, she sat down and moved her chopsticks first, and the chicken didn't want to move, so she picked a few good green vegetables and served the rice, but fortunately the rice was still fresh.

Tang Wan and Bai Xue looked at each other with hesitation, and Bai Xue said first, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

Zhang Fuxin chewed on the tasteless vegetables and said, "Why don't you dare, I can say I can, not to mention that this is a special period, if you don't come to eat, you will starve to death?" ”

Tang Wan took the lead in sitting down, and said with tears in the corners of her eyes, "Thank you, little master." She didn't mind eating the head and buttocks, it seemed to be quite delicious, Bai Xue saw this scene, so she had to sit down and eat a few bites at will. "She is discovering more and more that this master is very good.

In the harem, Lou was only favored for two days, thinking that his good life had just begun, and he could finally be prosperous and rich, but he didn't expect that in the Shen Criminal Division, a dancing girl who bit the poem was Lou Shanlan's first work, and they had nothing to do.

So Lou Shanlan was directly accused of great rebellion, and was given death by the emperor, which was embarrassing, she didn't know until the moment before drinking the poisonous wine that she was abandoned after being used by Jing Concubine, she should have known that there is no free lunch in the world, why was Jing Concubine suddenly willing to help her get favored, saying that she was a talent who rose straight to the top of the clouds, and she would have the opportunity to repay her in the future.

Concubine Jing didn't lie to her and helped her get pampered, but not in the future, but immediately let her report it, and reciprocated with her life, when her internal organs felt severe pain, only she knew how deep her hatred was.

Ban Lanbi also fell out of favor, not entirely because of the birthday banquet, even after that, the emperor still favored her and invited her to ride in a chariot together, but she did not expect to be rejected by Ban Lanbi, she told the emperor "Your Majesty is a Ming monarch, you should not travel with your concubines, you should invite virtuous ministers to discuss politics and listen to them." ”

When the emperor heard this, he immediately left her to find his courtiers, but he never looked for her again.

Now in the palace in this case of less competition, Zhao Cairen, the daughter of the governor's experience, has a tendency to become more and more favored, Zhao Longhua is a proud daughter of a military general, from the beginning of the draft into the palace, there are many people holding her around her, thinking that she is a person who will be able to gain power in the future, especially Baolin Xu Youhui, Zhao Longhua is the first to look forward.

As a result, they embraced the unity faction, and regarded Ban Lanbi's fall from grace as an after-dinner joke and excluded dissidents.

A month later, in the Changle Palace, Empress Dowager Xun accidentally remembered this well-behaved little girl, and casually mentioned, "Zhang's child, hasn't he come out of Yuhua Pavilion yet?" The eldest grandson next to him was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered, "The Holy Lord didn't approve of it, Your Highness, are you planning to give this child some shelter?" ”

Empress Dowager Xun thought about it and just shook her head, "That's not necessary, there is an eye, there is an eye, and the Changle Hall is not a place to extend a hand to the harem, after all, there are so many rights and wrongs, she has the ability to turn the danger into a disaster in the Qingping Palace, and she can also think of her own ideas this time." ”

The eldest grandson sighed slightly, "I hope she blesses you." ”

In the Yuhua Pavilion, Zhang Fuxin put aside the Buddhist studies he had collected and written, and asked Tang Wan to go to the Qiancang Hall to ask the emperor to ask for a meeting, and asked on her behalf, "The concubine has been cultivated, and the Buddha said that the concubine has a catastrophe, and only His Majesty can cross it." ”

She was alone in the attic, much thinner under the shadow of the oil lamps and candles, her black hair pulled into a loose and fallen bun, and the bookshelves filled with the stale scent of sandalwood, all too old.

There is only a simple jade bracelet hanging on the snow arm, supporting the girl's cheeks, even the light can't shine the luster of the jade, the face is not a little rouge, it is very clean, no one reported to her when the emperor came in, he stepped up the stairs, "How can I cross the Qing?" ”

Zhang Fuxin was a little frightened at first, but turned around slowly, and a Buddhist scripture fell to the ground with a "click", and the joy spread a little bit, "Your Majesty, you are here." ”

The air was airtight and stuffy, and he rarely smiled, "Tell me about your calamity." ”

"One is longing, the second is innocent, and the third is confusion." Her voice echoed in the scent of sandalwood, the more ethereal, wearing a cyan lotus skirt, more elegant and quiet.

The Emperor looked at her chin and nodded, "Go on." ”

"Linglong dice An Hongdou, but the concubine doesn't know if His Majesty is still angry, so she can only hope that you are well every day, I heard that Your Majesty will give Lou Cairen wine, which means that this unwarranted disaster has passed, so I am very puzzled why you didn't find out the concubine." The corners of Zhang Fuxin's eyes were faintly moist and pitiful, and she raised her head slightly.

He rubbed the corner of her eye lightly with his thumb, "I won't come to you now, but you have to find a way to get out and go back, otherwise, I can hold you under the abyss forever, even if you have wings, it will be difficult to fly up." ”

It was the sentence "diving the phoenix out of the abyss" that trapped her until now, and it was easy to get a chance to twist it, her head was running rapidly, so she smiled gently, "The concubine is vulgar and doesn't dare to bear the phoenix body, but the concubine can still tell stories to His Majesty like last time." ”

"Buddhism is boundless, concubines dare not be impetuous, devote themselves to studying Buddhism, summarize the detachment of Mahayana Buddhism, read through some of the ten bad karma and ten good karma of Hinayana Buddhism, and carefully copy forty-two chapters of Buddhist dictionaries, all of which are in these three books, and please look at your majesty."

I want to be in the boudoir in the early years, the Four Books and Five Classics also rely on her self-taught, the family does not have the conditions to invite Mr. Master, the brothers are going to private school classes, bring back the books, she is always soft grinding or begging or grabbing, after getting those books, she learned to circle by herself, induction, copying, reciting, understanding and annotation, occasionally pestering her mother to ask, these are how boring and difficult years to practice the will.

The emperor picked up her Buddhist book and opened it, wanting to see if it was a fancy shelf, but before he turned two pages, he saw that her font was even more hideous under the oil lamp, so he spared no room for sarcasm, "The words are really ugly, no one has taught you a pen?" ”

Zhang Fuxin replied very honestly, "No, when I was at home, I only learned books such as "Women's Morality" and "Women's Training", and I mainly studied women's popularity. ”

The emperor was suspicious: "Then where did the "Nine Chapters" and "Fang Yu Shenglan" you talked about last time come from? ”

Zhang Fuxin's face was slightly red with embarrassment, and he lowered his head, "They all came from stealing, and the concubine knows that her qualifications are dull." ”

The emperor just hummed and threw the copy of the Buddha to her, "This word is written in a dirty eye, you can talk about it." ”

The lotus flower on Zhang Fuxin's skirt swayed lightly, and Ying Ying smiled, "The highest state of Mahayana Buddhism is to be inseparable from the phase, in short, the mind is like stopping water, and the inner under the appearance is not fixed in one, not in the other, not in the other, not in this ......"

But at the hour of half a pillar of incense, the emperor waved his hand, "That's it, you don't need to talk about it, I don't want to sleep in Chen Po's attic." He Hu Heng never believed in fate, did not believe in heaven, did not believe in gods and Buddhas, but also had some common sense and awe, the wisdom comprehended by the ancient Kapila Wei can be worshiped by the world, naturally there is a reason, but it is just a knowledge, never recognize the mysterious.

Zhang Fuxin looked away from the Buddha and whispered, "Your Majesty is tired, can the concubine tell you the story of Yajandhara?" ”

The emperor leaned back on the prince's chair and asked, "Who is this?" ”

Zhang Fuxin slowly closed the notebook with his hand, and smiled slightly, "Said that the Buddha only knows the name of Rahulamu, and does not know Yahudra, she is Rahula's mother, the wife of the Buddha, and the beautiful princess of Tianjian City." ”

"On a sunny day when the sky was blue and the birds were fragrant, the princess saw the young and handsome Prince Siddhartha in a martial arts competition, Prince Siddhartha defeated many opponents with superior martial arts and won her heart, at the age of sixteen, she married the prince with envy and jealousy, after marriage she found that her husband was excellent but melancholy, her eyes always showed confusion and imitation, the princess was pregnant with a child, but one night her husband quietly left, leaving no news, The princess could only honor her in-laws during the day to take care of the children, and at night she was accompanied by loneliness and tears, and even rumors spread in the city that the prince ran away because the princess was not pregnant with the prince's child, and these malice and slander reached the ears of her parents, who said, 'Come back, no matter what, you are our child, princess of a country, with your beauty and talent, how can you not find a good family again?' Yajendra refused, she followed the woman's virtues, raised Rahula alone, halfway through the Kshatriya king proposed to her, Yajandra was unmoved, she got the news of Siddhartha's ascetic practice, and resolutely took off her gorgeous clothes and jewelry, and put on poor clothes. ”

"And then?"

"Later, when Rahula grew up, Siddhartha became a Buddha, and finally returned to the palace to see Yasendhara, who had long since lost his concern and love, and his face was calm and serene in the bone marrow, and Yasendra felt the pain in his heart, and the Buddha took his son away from the princess and turned into a Buddha, and Yasundhara finally chose to take refuge in Buddhism under the pain."
