It turned out that the hairpin was given by the Queen Mother when she gave birth to Xuanyu, and she couldn't be worn with her position as a third-grade Xiuyuan, so she always cherished it and often wore it on her head to swagger.

"Come on, go and call Yu Linwei to come in and help me shoot that damn bird down." Li Yanniang was shocked and frightened, and her heart ached for a while, and her hair was completely messed up.

"Xiu Yuan Niangniang, don't ask Yu Linwei to come in, they are too many and have heavy steps, and they may not scare the birds away as soon as they come, then your hairpin ......" Ming'er kindly reminded her.

"So, what should I do?" Li Yanniang was completely out of ideas, and looked at me and Ming'er pitifully.

"I think maybe the birds heard that you were going to take their nests, so they robbed you of the hairpin." Ming'er analyzed matter-of-factly, "Otherwise, you apologize to the bird and swear again, maybe it will return the hairpin to you as soon as it is happy." ”

"What? Apologize to the birds? Li Yanniang's face turned green when she heard Ming'er's words, "Can they understand?" ”

"Well, the Queen Mother doesn't often say that all living beings have spirituality, as long as Xiu Yuan Niangniang sincerely apologizes, I think those birds also know well." Ming'er had a forced smile on her lips, but I was already holding back my internal injuries on the side.

"Oh, oh, that's good." Li Yanniang wiped the sweat from the corners of her forehead with a brocade handkerchief, and took two steps forward to help the palace maid: "Hey, little bird......"

"Shhh, Li Xiuyuan, don't be so loud, be gentle, remember to be sincere." Ming'er didn't forget the kind technical guidance on the side, and I couldn't help but turn around and laugh.

"Little bird, the owner just said that destroying the bird's nest was a joke, so you can return my hairpin to me......" Li Yanniang said softly to the bird on the tree, and didn't forget to ask Ming'er beside her after speaking, "It really understands, why do I think it ignores me?" ”

"Xiuyuan Niangniang, it may be that your tone is not sincere enough, or you swear an oath, just say that in the future, not only will you not destroy the birds, but you will also sprinkle food on the birds in the palace sooner or later, otherwise the sky will thunder and thunder, and you will not be able to die......" Ming'er's kung fu climbing along the pole has always been unmatched, and this oath is due to her thinking quickly.

"What? I'm going to swear to this dead bird? Li Yanniang was so angry when she heard this, she leaned over and picked up a stone to throw the bird on the tree.

"Li Xiuyuan, I heard that the jewel hairpin is the most unfalling, if it falls from such a high place...... "I was afraid that she would hurt the bird, so I persuaded her: "This is a reward from the Queen Mother, if it is damaged, it is a great disrespect." ”

"So, what should I do?" Li Yanniang looked at me for a while.

"According to what this palace said about Ming'er, you can try it."

"Madame, do you mean to make me swear to the birds?" Li Yanniang's face turned from blue to white.

"As the saying goes, everything in heaven and earth has spirituality, maybe as soon as Xiu Yuan's oath comes out, the bird will return the hairpin." I snickered in my heart, but my face was very serious.

"Well, okay then." Li Yanniang also seemed to be flustered, and finally made a poisonous oath according to Ming'er.

I coaxed her to swear but wanted to vent her evil anger, and I didn't want her words to fall, and out of nowhere came a strange birdsong, and the little black bird in the tree actually "suddenly" flew towards me, and I instinctively stretched out my hand, and the bird fell straight into my palm.

The bird lowered its head and stared at me with its small dark eyes, as if it were acquainted with me.

"Ah......" Ming'er behind me covered her mouth and exhaled softly, I myself felt incredible, I was stunned, and I didn't want Li Yanniang to grit her teeth and pounce.

"Where did the stinky bird fly, see if I catch you, don't tear your skin." Li Yanniang roared while leading the palace people to catch birds, and suddenly became a mess.

The little bird was suddenly frightened and forgot to fly away, jumping around on the ground, I was afraid that it would be caught by Li Yanniang, so I took Ming'er to stop it, and at this moment there was a burst of birdsong...... The little blackbird spread its wings and flew up the ginkgo tree, and actually opened its mouth to speak: "Those who are injured will be short-lived...... Nurses, longevity...... Those who are injured and survived will be short-lived...... Nursing life, longevity ......"

"Ah...... Youkai, youkai...... Monsters" Li Yanniang seemed to be frightened by the talking bird, squatting on the ground with her head covered and screaming, her body trembling like sifting chaff.

Although I was shocked but not afraid, I helped Ming'er to look up at the black elf among the branches and leaves, and an inexplicable warmth suddenly surged in my heart, and I murmured: "Tree fairy, thank you for helping me." Bird, go back quickly! The little blackbird in the trees seemed to understand me, and looked at me sideways for a moment, then flapped its wings and flew away, leaving only a crisp chirp among the leaves.

When I looked back at Li Yanniang, she fainted from fright.

The palace ladies who surrounded her were raising their heads and holding their feet in panic, and there were even some eyes that quietly looked at me with horror and fear.

Suddenly, the corners of my forehead began to throb, and a faint uneasiness spread in my heart...... If Bao Yuan knew about this, what would he think?

Waiting to settle down, I had to tell Ming'er to find Ling Xuan, and asked him to send Li Yanniang back to Yingxian Palace, and then I went back to Changchun Palace. Sit down and think about it, today's events are indeed too weird.

Bao Yuan has not yet gone to the court, presumably as long as he returns to the palace song club, he must not be able to hide it, but I am still confused about this matter, if Bao Yuan asks, how can I answer? After thinking about it again and again, he found Jingyi and told her the ins and outs of this matter.

"How strange is this?" Jingyi was shocked after hearing this, "Could it be that there is really an evil spirit in this palace?" Looking at the panic on her face and the fear that I couldn't hide, my heart became heavier and heavier.

The most taboo thing in the palace has always been the strange power and chaos, not to mention such a strange and confusing situation, if I am not handled well, if I am implicated in the matter, if Bao Yuan is suspicious of me because of this, or is used by people with ulterior motives to make a fuss, it will affect the national fortune and government, and even ......

I didn't dare to think about it anymore, my heart was like frying and roasting, and suddenly the six gods were gone.

After about half an hour, Ming'er rushed back to Lingbo Hall from Yingxian Palace, it is said that Li Yanniang woke up and was a little confused, and said a lot of nonsense, Ling Xuan prescribed a calming medicine, and now fell asleep again.

"Sister, Lord Ling said that today's incident must not be hidden, it is better for him to report it to the emperor." Ming'er's breath was a little unsteady, "Lord Ling wants my sister to rest assured, he said that although today's events are unusual, it is not unclear, in order to prevent people with ulterior motives from talking nonsense in front of the emperor, it is better to let him report the truth." ”

I nodded when I heard this, and said to Jingyi: "Lord Ling has won the trust of the emperor, and he is the imperial doctor, he is the best to report to the emperor, but I don't know the emperor's ......" The hidden worries in my heart still lingered.

"Sister relax" Jingyi patted my hand gently, and said: "The emperor is a Ming monarch, he will judge himself, not to mention that according to Sister Yu, my sister has not mishandled it, and the emperor has always loved his sister, so he will not suspect him." ”

I tried to smile back with Jingyi, it would be best if it was so natural, but why was my heart so uneasy?

Bao Yuan seemed to rush over directly, and seeing the slight sweat on his forehead, I said with distress: "On such a hot day, what if you have a heat stroke?" ”

"Rui'er, are you alright? Was it scared, was it hurt? Let me take a look......" Bao Yuan ignored the inner prison maid on his side, and hurriedly pulled me up and down.

"Rui'er is fine." Seeing him like this, I blushed slightly, but my heart, which had been restless for a long time, suddenly fell silent, alas, what is wrong with me, how can I not believe his heart for me?

"Well, it looks like nothing." Bao Yuan nodded with satisfaction, turned around and asked the palace maid to serve him, widened the dragon robe, and changed into regular clothes.

"I've heard what Ling Xuan said, and I'm worried about whether you will be frightened along the way." He took a sip of tea and said, "I will ask someone to investigate this matter thoroughly, and the most taboo thing in the palace is these clever and treacherous things. ”

"Well, it's just that Rui'er wants to ask the emperor not to embarrass the people in the song club, they should have nothing to do with this matter." I begged him with confidence.

"Well, I have my own opinions." Bao Yuan put down the teacup, his face was thoughtful, and after a while, he raised his voice and called Liang Shouzhen in, and told him to tell Qin Tianjian to check the recent Tianxiang rational number if there was any abnormality.

After that, Bao Yuan seemed to have issued a strict order in the palace, and since then, no one dared to mention the matter of the Furong Song Society, and Li Yanniang gradually returned to normal after Ling Xuan's diagnosis and treatment.

Bao Yuan went to see her once and ordered her to recuperate in the Yingxian Palace. I also heard Jingyi say that Baoyuan ordered Xuanyu to be temporarily handed over to Liu Huilan to take care of, and Jingyi was asked to assist in the management. only said that if Li Yanniang did not talk nonsense for a day, the child would be taken care of by her for a day.

Since then, Li Yanniang has been a lot more peaceful, and I have gradually let go of the events of the day, but the Furong Song Society has since become a place in this palace full of secrets and unspeakable, and I have never wanted to set foot there again.

On the fifth day of August, the Queen Mother returned to the palace, and Bao Yuan led the harem to welcome the palace gate.

The next day, Jingyi and I went to Qinghe Palace to say goodbye.

Walking close to the palace gate, I saw Jinyan standing next to the door, and it seemed that she had been waiting for a long time. Busy with the hustle and bustle, she looked at me quietly for a moment, and said, "Madame seems to have lost a lot, but the weather is hot and she suffers from insomnia?" ”

"Sister Lao is worried, I'm afraid it's hot, so I eat less......" She came back, her heart filled with a long-lost warmth. He gripped her fingers back, and a silent smile bloomed on his lips.

"Let's go inside." Jingyi took the two of us and walked inside.

"Sister Jinyan, how are you doing?"

"The Queen Mother invited a lot of scriptures from the Buddhist temple this time, and I'm afraid I will have to order the scriptures to be copied again." Jin Yan's faint words made people a little confused.

"Copying scriptures?" Jingyi looked at me and said, "That sister Chongyi has a lot to do." ”

"If I copy it, it will be better, but I'm afraid of ......" Jinyan stopped, and his eyes drifted to the main hall of Qinghe Palace a little lightly.

Hearing this, his heart tightened, and before he could speak, he only heard Jingyi ask in a low voice: "But who said anything to the Queen Mother?" ”

"I don't know" Jinyan shook her head lightly and said: "Last night, the Queen Mother sent a decree from the palace, asking me to bring the "Lengyan Sutra" that I invited in the Buddhist temple today. ”

"Lengyan Sutra?" Jingyi's eyes were blank.

This scripture is also known as the bloodstained scripture, which is said to be a national treasure that was not passed down in India back then...... This time, the Queen Mother can invite this scripture, I am really happy. It's just that this sutra is difficult to understand, and the part is very large, I privately guess that maybe the queen mother thinks that the handwriting of this sutra is small, and it takes her eye to read and recite it daily, and I am afraid that she will ask the concubines of the harem to help copy it...... "Speaking of this, she looked at me with deep meaning.

Without saying a word, an ominous premonition rose in my heart, could it be that the past punishment was going to be repeated?

I was vigilant and entered the main hall with the two of her, only to see that the Queen Mother was pulling Bao Yuan to laugh, and I waited to greet her.

The queen was kind and kind, and there was no displeasure, and her heart was a little peaceful.

Soon after returning to the seat, Li Yanniang and Liu Huilan also led Xuanyu to ask the Queen Mother for peace.

Everyone sat down, the Queen Mother admonished a few words according to reason, and then told everyone what she had seen and heard in the temple on this trip, Bao Yuan interjected a few words from time to time, and the atmosphere was very good.

"Concubine Xu, seeing that you have lost a lot of weight, aren't you sick?" The Queen Mother's sudden concern made me a little at a loss, and I was busy getting up to reply.

"Empress Dowager Xie cares, and the concubine is in good health."

"Oh, that's good, I heard that on the day when the mourning family was not in the palace, Concubine Xu was very tired of all things in the harem. You are above the concubines, and you have the position of assistant to the six palaces, hard work is inevitable, and it is also the duty of the concubine, but the concubines also have to take good care of their bodies, which is a major event that is deeply related to the lifeblood of the royal heirs...... What does Concubine Xu think? The Queen Mother looked at me with a slight smile on her lips, but I didn't know how to reply for a while.

was at a loss, but Li Yanniang smiled on the side: "What the Queen Mother said is that Mrs. Hua Rui should be good at cherishing herself, take care of her body, and add a little brother or little sister to our Xuanyu is ......."

"Yes, Concubine Xu has been in the palace for more than half a year, why hasn't there been good news for a long time?" The Queen Mother said and looked back at Baoyuan.

Bao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said: "Queen Mother, Rui'er has always been weak, and her son will instruct the Tai Hospital and the dining room to help her recuperate in the future...... As for the matter of the heirs, it was a natural thing, and they couldn't be forced, and the sons and daughters were still young, and they would ...... in the future."

"Although the words are good...... the queen mother looked at me and said slowly: "Concubine Xu's family is very knowledgeable, and it is very sad to write poems and lyrics on weekdays...... I invited some precious Buddhist scriptures from the Buddhist temple this time, but I was dazzled by the old age and looked hard, and it was not as comfortable as the Buddhist scriptures copied by Concubine Xu last time, so the mourning family wanted to temporarily deal with the affairs of the harem with Jingyi and Jinyan, and let Concubine Xu help my old woman copy the Buddhist scriptures, and by the way, I thought that I would have a big plan for the future...... Hehehe...... Chang'er, what do you say? ”

Without waiting for Bao Yuan to reply, the Queen Mother said again: "Concubine Xu, are you willing?" ”

When he raised his eyes, he saw that Bao Yuan's face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly signaled him with his eyes not to go against the will of the Queen Mother, and said sincerely: "The concubine can copy the scriptures for the Queen Mother, which is the blessing of the concubine, how can you not want to." ”

"That's good, in fact, copying Buddhist scriptures is the most good thing to accumulate blessings and cultivate virtues, knowing that your pet and not getting pregnant is not caused by a lack of merit, and the mourning family wants you to copy the scriptures is really really loving you, do you understand?"

"The concubine knows that she will do her best to copy the Buddhist scriptures and live up to the favor of the Queen Mother." I leaned down and saluted, but there was an indescribable sourness in my chest.

"Yan'er, later, you will hand over the "Lengyan Sutra" to Concubine Xu." The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction, and said: "Concubine Xu is used to copying, and she knows what to avoid." At the end, he said to Bao Yuan: "Chang'er, you are not allowed to embarrass Concubine Xu, she helped the mourning family copy the scriptures, but it is a matter of accumulating merit." ”

Bao Yuan looked at me helplessly and said with a smile: "Erchen knows that everything is arranged according to the queen mother. ”

"Okay, good, filial piety and daughter-in-law, the old woman has really cultivated some good fortune." The Queen Mother laughed heartily, but when I laughed, I saw Li Yanniang's expression of schadenfreude in front of me.

Since that day, I have been copying Buddhist scriptures in the Changchun Hall every day.

The Queen Mother seemed to be very satisfied with my performance, and specially ordered the small dining room of the Queen Mother's Palace to prepare refreshments for me every day, and also sent Su Jin to deliver them in person. He also told me that I don't have to go to Qinghe Palace every day to ask for peace, and I will come to the Changchun Hall to sit down for a while at three or five o'clock, watch me copy the Buddhist scriptures, or bring Jinyan with me, but the Queen Mother doesn't seem to want to see Baoyuan in the Changchun Palace......

At the beginning, although Bao Yuan moved back to Chongguang Palace, he would still come to see me every day, and he stayed to accompany me and Jingyi to have lunch together, but he was bumped into a few times by the Queen Mother, and saw that the Queen Mother seemed to have a slight sense of responsibility, so it was inconvenient to come to Changchun Hall every day.

Later, I heard that the Queen Mother liked to call Jinyan and Baoyuan to Qinghe Palace together...... Later, in the records of the court bureau in Jingyi, Jinyan seemed to have the appearance of a special pet.

At this time, Jingyi would inevitably look at me worriedly, but I was calm and calm, and occasionally even I would feel surprised, asking myself if I knew that there was no ruthless love between Bao Yuan and Jin Yan, or did I really believe in Bao Yuan Yu Ai, and I didn't doubt it? Or is it that I copy the scriptures every day, and I accept my fate and no longer cling to the "one-minded person"?

When I raised my eyes, I saw that the pages of Buddhist scriptures were getting higher and higher on the case.
