Chapter 31: Fayun Temple
Soon after the first day of the Lunar New Year, news came out in the palace that the saint officially canonized Sima Jingjing, the eldest daughter of the Yong'an Hou family, as a concubine, Ye Yiqian, the granddaughter of the emperor Ye Rongshan, as a concubine, and Chen Wenmei, the mother of the Empress Dowager Chen, as a concubine, the first of the concubines; There is also a second daughter of the Imperial Family, who is a noble person. The concubines and concubines entered the palace on the second day of the second month of February, and the others entered the palace on the third day of the third month of March, and at the same time, the teachings of the palace were given to everyone's mansions.
This news is really a few happy and a few sad. For example, the Zhang family, such as the Chen family of the first-class Chengen Gong, such as the family of the imperial historian. It is the noble concubine Sima Jingjing who is worried, and the emperor Ye Rongshan's family. The two elders sighed after learning that their children were going to enter the palace, and Mrs. Yong'an Hou hugged her daughter and cried without letting go, thinking that her daughter would live the dark days in the palace in the future, her heart hurt like a knife, and she fainted directly from crying. However, Sima Jingjing had no joy or sorrow on her face, and after listening to the will, she went back to her room to continue to learn the etiquette in the palace.
Drunken Huanlou
Yun Tianpei half-lay on the chaise longue, chewing the fruit, and said to Yun Tianhong dissatisfiedly: "Seventh brother, look at me here, how can I still have the appearance of a golden cave, and you can raise birds if you are light!" If it goes on like this, the drunken Huanlou of the younger brother will be closed! ”
"Okay, okay, you complain less, the three-month ban period will pass after the fifth day of the new year, and you still have a few days of business?" Yun Tianhong said sarcastically, "Don't make excuses, what about the news I asked you to inquire about before?" ”
"Eh, I said Seventh Brother, you have to be a little patient! Be patient with the beauty, you want to know all about the beauty at every turn, and you are not afraid to surprise the beauty! ”
Yun Tianhong impatiently pulled out the whip from his waist, touched the tip of the whip carelessly and said, "Sixth brother, this king's soft whip is new, and I haven't seen blood open yet!" ”
"Don't, don't, seventh brother, I really can't beat you." Yun Tianpei got up in a hurry, and hurriedly said with a smile, "Seventh brother, I swear, my people have really checked carefully, these seven brothers and sisters really have nothing to do with the Li family of Zhenguo Gong, after all, the age difference is there!" As for the side news, you have to wait a little longer, not so fast when you are not in Beijing. ”
Yun Tianhong snorted lightly, and let Luo Qiu push him out through the back door of the Zuihuan Building.
The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day to go back to her parents' house, Zhang's maiden home is in Jiangzhou, her father has gone back on his sixtieth birthday, and now her brothers have also returned to Jiangzhou. It was Nan Lingmei, who took advantage of the second day of the Lunar New Year to disguise herself from the side door of the palace and went out of the mansion, and no one knew what she was doing.
The fifth day of the first lunar month came soon, in order to look good on the bright face, the old princess planned it before the year, and took the people of the palace to Fayun Temple to worship the Buddha for a few days. So after lunch on this day, the masters of the palace took their subordinates to board their carriages, and this time the palace was blessed, and Nanling Mo only took Mei Shuang with him, so that Mei Xue could rest in the Ling Mo Courtyard.
On the third day of junior high school, Mei Xue came back, and seemed to be limping when she walked, Nan Lingmo saw her strangeness, and didn't ask anything, so she came back that day to keep vigil. During the vigil, Nan Lingmo took out the best trauma medicine and gave Mei Xue the medicine carefully.
Mei Xue is a secret guard, and she has always been injured only by the secret guards drugged each other, and she never thought that the county lord would personally drugged her.
Nan Lingmo said: "When you have an old wound on your shoulder, you must be in unbearable pain, right?" You should first take care of your injuries, guard this Lingmo Courtyard for the county lord, and wait for the county lord to come back from Fayun Temple and then heal you. ”
Mei Xue was shocked in her heart, and she kept kowtowing to thank her excitedly, and secretly decided in her heart that from now on, she would only recognize Nanlingmo as one master, even if she fought for her life.
Fayun Temple is a royal temple on the outskirts of Beijing, and the daughters of many families in Beijing will go to Fayun Temple from time to time to offer incense. The abbot of Fayun Temple is a highly respected monk, and the first emperor wanted to hire him as a national teacher, but was rejected by the abbot of Yun, only that people outside the party are not contaminated with red dust.
On the fifth day of the first month, there are many people who burn incense in Fayun Temple, and the carriage of the royal palace should be waiting for people to arrive at Fayun Temple. As soon as the old princess got out of the carriage, a little novice came to guide the way. Xiao Shami said: "King Zhennan, the old princess, the meditation room for the palace has been opened, please come with the little monk." Everyone followed the little novice to the meditation room, and the old princess asked, "May I ask if there are any nobles who have come to pray for blessings today, so as not to collide?" ”
Xiao Shami said: "Only His Royal Highness King Yun is talking with the abbot, and there are other ordinary people in the temple who come to offer incense. ”
"In that case, it's inconvenient to visit the master today." The old princess smiled and said, "Hard little master." ”
In her previous life, Li Yunqing didn't believe in the Bodhisattva, and always felt that it was better to ask for others than for herself. But in this life, since she crossed over, she has become respectful of the cycle of life and death.
Nan Lingmo looked at this meditation room, although it was simple, it was also very elegant. After everyone settled down, Nan Lingmo looked at the sky outside the window, and realized that it was still early, so he took Meishuang to walk around the temple. In addition to being a royal temple, the bamboo forest on the mountain behind it and the plum forest on the west side of the temple are also among the most beautiful scenery in Beijing.
Meishuang helped Nanling Mo to the west of the temple to walk to the plum forest, Meishuang said excitedly: "County lord, all hear that the plum forest of Fayun Temple is a unique in Beijing, not only white plums, red plums, but also extremely rare green plums!" "Green plum? That's a rare sight. Nan Ling Mo smiled.
The two of them walked towards Merlin while talking and laughing, and as they got closer, they heard the melodious sound of the piano. From a distance, there was a person in the Meilin Pavilion who was playing the qin with his back to Nanling Mo. Nanling Mo and Meishuang stopped and listened attentively, and soon became attracted by the sound of the piano. "Who?" The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and the man who was stroking the piano stopped and turned around and asked.
"County Lord, it's His Royal Highness King Li." Meishuang whispered.
"Ren'an has seen King Li, but he didn't know that the prince was here, and he disturbed the prince's Yaxing." Nanling Mo and Mei Shuang saluted one after another.
"It turned out to be the seventh brother and sister," King Li said with a smile, "Why did the seventh brother and sister come to Fayun Temple today?" ”
'Are all these royal men so quick to confess?' Nanling Mo wondered in her heart, and replied with an unchanged expression on her face: "I followed my grandmother and came to Fayun Temple to pray for blessings. I don't know that the prince is also here to pray for blessings today? ”
"This king is here with the seventh brother," King Li replied with a smile, "The seventh brother and Abbot Yun talked in the meditation room, and the king came out to enjoy the plum." ”
"Since you have married the seventh brother, call this king the fourth brother!" King Li continued to say with a smile.
"Yes, Fourth Brother." Nanling Mo smiled and said, "Yun Tianhong is also here?" Nanling Mo didn't even think about it, so she directly called out King Yun's name, and King Li felt that it was really new for her to call her brother's name like this. He was stunned for a moment, but laughed instead.
Li Wang Yun Tiancheng is the fourth prince of the first emperor, and his biological mother is the concubine Liao, who is the most knowledgeable among the many princes. He likes poetry and books the most, and he travels all the year round, and occasionally his calligraphy, painting and poems come out in Beijing, which is also sought after by everyone. Moreover, King Li is only twenty-four years old this year, with an elegant temperament, and has not yet established a concubine, and is the dream lover of many noble girls in Beijing.
Nan Lingmo remembered that in her previous life, when she was still Li Yunqing, the young man in front of her was already personable, and her literary style impressed her. He was polite and kind to his brothers and sisters, and the first emperor liked him very much. It's a pity that he is not interested in the struggle for power, he only likes to travel the world. It was because when Yun Tianfeng was so many people back then, he was still respectful to him.
The princes of the Dayan Kingdom went out of the palace to open the palace after the crown ceremony, and then the queen was the master and chose the concubines for the princes. During the reign of the first emperor, the only princes who officially married were the then crown prince Yun Tianluo, the second prince Yun Tianxun, and the third prince Ping Wang Yun Tianfeng. The fifth prince, King Yun Tianhao, failed to force the palace to seize the throne through the wedding and was confined in the Zongren Mansion. Several other princes have not been married, and they have been appointed as concubines.
Nanling Mo and His Royal Highness King Li stood in the pavilion looking at the beautiful scenery in front of them, from the repertoire to the poems, to the wine order at the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, King Li looked at the thin woman in front of him, and the calm temperament on his body made him feel very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen someone with the same temperament.
After a while, a subordinate from the palace came to look for Nanling Mo, saying that the meal was ready, and the old princess invited all the people to eat in the dining hall, and Nanling Mo offered to leave. The matter of her and His Royal Highness King Li's high-minded discussion fell into the eyes of Nan Lingmei, who was secretly watching His Royal Highness King Li in the corner of Merlin, which was particularly dazzling.
After Nanling Mei saw Nanling Mo leave, King Li said coldly: "Have you heard enough?" Come out! It didn't take long for her to walk out of the corner of Merlin, she walked up to King Li, and saluted shyly: "Linlang has seen the fourth brother." King Li looked at Nan Lingmei with an inexplicable expression, and said suspiciously: "Are you ...... The county lord of Linlang on the Zhennan Wangfu? ”
"Fourth brother, just remember Linlang!" Nanling Mei blushed and bowed her head in reply, trying her best to be graceful.
"Lord Linlang County, this king has four royal sisters, and there are only two royal sisters in Beijing; There are only two cousins in the imperial uncle's mansion in Beijing. I don't know where the 'fourth brother' of the county lord of Linlang came from? ”
"This ...... I am Mo'er's eldest sister, and since Mo'er called you 'Fourth Brother' just now, I should naturally call you 'Fourth Brother'. Nanling Mei replied shyly.
"The county lord of Linlang, the county lord of Ren'an called this king 'fourth brother' because she has a marriage contract with the seventh brother of this king, this king remembers that the county lord of Linlang does not seem to have a marriage contract with which brother of this king, could it be that Your Majesty has a new will, this king does not know?" Li Wang Yun Tiancheng said coldly, "I heard that the imperial concubine sent two sect guides to the mansion after the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, it seems that the county lord of Linlang still needs to learn more, after all, the county lord of my Dayan country is a person with good manners and dignity." ”
Nanling Mei heard the first half of the sentence, her face was white and red, and then she heard the second half of the words of His Royal Highness King Li, and felt that His Royal Highness King Li cared about herself, her face was slightly red, and she saluted: "Mei'er, thank His Royal Highness King Li for mentioning something, don't worry, Mei'er will definitely study hard." ”
King Li realized that there were 10,000 horses galloping past in his heart, and sighed helplessly: "It's not early, this king has taken his leave." Halfway through, he turned back and looked at Nan Lingmei and said, "Just now, the people from the house came to find the seventh brother and sister, saying that they had already prepared a meal, and the county lord should go early!" With that, he left Merlin without looking back.
