Concubine Crane originally had an elegant temperament, so she was titled "Crane". But it is precisely because of this arrogance in her bones that she is not tactful in her life, and she is full of edges and corners, and she often sneers with Concubine Ling, like a thorny rose.

Seeing her dressed like this today, it was in this pure place of Buddhism, which was refreshing, and several people were a little stunned.

The steward eunuch in the big Buddha hall got the letter, and hurriedly ran over to greet Mo Guhan and Yuehua and his party.

Mo Guhan raised his chin slightly in the direction of Concubine He: "Why is Concubine Crane here?" ”

The chief eunuch said respectfully: "Concubine Crane will come here every day to chant and pray for blessings, today is the Shangyuan Festival, she added a volume of scriptures for herself, so she has been delayed until this time, and she has not returned to the palace." ”

Between the questions and answers, Concubine Crane had already been alarmed, she turned her head, and saw that it was Mo Guhan and his party, and the eyebrows and eyes were calm and unwavering, no joy and no worries, and a calm and peaceful look. Standing up slowly, it seemed that his legs and feet were a little sore, or he suddenly got up and was a little dizzy, his hand held his forehead, frowned slightly, shook it slightly, took two steps forward, and then made a gesture to kneel down and kowtow.

Mo Guhan stepped forward, supported him with one hand, and said in a low voice: "It's good to pray for blessings, but you have to do what you can, aren't you torturing yourself?" ”

Concubine Crane stood beside Mo Guhan, wearing a green coat and a smock that was not ironed, but a little fat, shrouded in light gauze outside, like a layer of green smoke, fluttering in the night wind, curling Nana, and the delicate figure loomed.

The Song Dynasty lyricist Qin Guan's poem "Gift to the Female Crown Changshi" once wrote: The pupil cuts the water waist like a bundle, and a black yarn wraps the cold jade. Fluttering has its own posture, looking back at the powder delicacy is vulgar.

Yuehua once felt incredible, a woman's beauty should naturally be charming, relying on the color of thousands of purples and thousands of reds to set off, a black yarn, simple and unpretentious, is it not as good as beautiful jade dust? Seeing Concubine Crane today, I was able to save it, and the ancients did not deceive me.

Concubine He's face was covered with a light veil, revealing only a pair of water-cut autumn pupils, full of water, looking at Mo Guhan, and smiled slowly: "It is said that sincerity is spirituality, if the concubine is just perfunctory, it is better not to do it." ”

The voice of the speaker was slightly trembling, as if it was the surface of a lake wrinkled by the cold wind.

Mo Guhan stretched out his hand to untie the cloak on his body, and raised his hand to drape Concubine He on his shoulders. The cloak was wide, and she looked more and more pitiful.

"The wind is so strong here, the wound on your face has not healed yet, be careful to leave a scar."

Concubine Crane raised her hand and touched her face, and smiled with relief: "I have been concentrating on worshipping the Buddha for many days, but the concubine's body has been thinking a lot, and her heart has become peaceful." The appearance is just a layer of skin given by the parents, like quicksand with fingers, and it is only more than ten years old. The most important thing is to be kind-hearted, generous and peaceful, self-cultivation, heart and mouth, that is the real Fanghua forever. What's more, the emperor cherishes the concubine, does not judge people by their appearance, and drives the concubine out of the Forbidden City. So, what does it matter if it's beautiful or ugly? ”

The words were calm and indifferent, which made Mo Guhan full of praise: "Concubine He, you have changed." ”

"It's because the concubine was young and vigorous before, and she liked to fight-for-tat in everything, and she made it difficult for the emperor."

Concubine Ling stood aside, took in the conversation between Concubine Crane and Mo Guhan, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and sneered coldly: "It's still Concubine He's good means, and it has become like this, and it can still easily win the emperor's pity." ”

If it were the past, Concubine Crane would have been unwilling to show weakness and would have been-for-tat. Now she just smiled open-mindedly, not anxious or annoyed: "In the past, my sister didn't know the rules, and she had a lot of collisions with the concubine Niangniang, and asked the mother to ignore the previous suspicions, and forgive." ”

One sentence seems to be soft, but it is a needle hidden in the cotton, which makes Concubine Ling speechless. Stretching out her hand and not hitting the smiling person, especially Concubine He, who took the initiative to be soft and low, how could she not be relentless and sneering?

Mo Guhan was already annoyed when he heard her sarcasm, and snorted lightly: "It seems that this Buddhist scripture and Dharma can indeed filter the dust and avoid impetuousness, and Concubine Ling should also study and study." ”

Concubine Ling was reprimanded, and Rao was used to being arrogant and indulgent, so she had to shut up and say no more.

The wind at the entrance of the hall was indeed very cold, Yuehua stood at the mouth of the wind, watching Mo Guhan whisper to comfort Concubine He, a tender lingering, feeling that the cold wind squeezed through the thick winter clothes, like a tiny cow mango needle piercing through his own flesh, blowing away the warmth that had just gathered, and his teeth began to freeze and gurgle.

At this time, she was the time when Mo Guhan was suffering from gains and losses, and she liked to think crankily.

It turns out that others want to win Mo Guhan's pity and impress, it's as simple as that, just need to behave and say a few words of flattery, and Mo Guhan can get rid of his previous suspicions and take care of them in the palm of his hand.

And himself, all the way, trembling and taking a lot of thought, he has never been able to let go of his suspicions. Even if others blatantly ridiculed himself in front of him, he never reprimanded others.

Why did he walk so hard, staggering, easily falling, and being beaten back to his original shape?

Xiang Shen noticed the strangeness of his master. Asked in a low voice, "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" Why are your hands shaking? ”

Yuehua took a deep breath, and the air was even colder, almost chilling: "It's nothing, it's just a little cold." ”

Xiangshen looked at her clothes and asked worriedly, "Didn't you blow a cold wind and catch a cold?" ”

"Maybe a little." Yuehua nodded dejectedly: "Let's go back first, and let Lan Cairen sue me for a crime...... If the emperor would ask. ”

Xiangshen nodded, and as soon as Lan Cairen said it, Lan Cairen was a little worried, and stepped forward to ask, "What's wrong with the queen?" Where is the discomfort? Do you want to find an imperial doctor? ”

Yuehua forced a smile, shook her head, said a perfunctory word, and walked back with Xiangshen.

The lights are noisy, but there is no laughter and laughter, and there are no figures, and the lights are cold.

In the water pavilion, there are palace people in the distance who secretly release lotus lanterns along the flowing water. The dotted lanterns flowed faltering towards the outside of the palace.

Today is not the day to put lotus lanterns, in the folk, sixteen ghost lanterns, people will be on the streamside, riverside, put lotus lanterns, to express their sorrow for their deceased relatives.

Naturally, such rules are forbidden in the palace, but they are tolerated to put lanterns on the day of Shangyuan Festival, called "prayer lanterns", which can be full of palace people's desire for their marriage, and they have been fluttering out with twists and turns.

Yuehua instructed Xiang Shen: "Help the palace to ask for a lotus lantern?" ”

Xiang Shen was stunned for a moment: "Does Niangniang also want to put a blessing lamp?" ”

Yuehua nodded, but said faintly: "I want to put a light on Jun Shuyuan and Jun Chi, I hope they can forget the pain and grievances of this life as soon as possible and reincarnate as a human." ”

Xiang Shen stepped forward according to his words, not daring to alarm those palace maids who were in high spirits, so he only used his own name to ask for a lotus lamp, and then took it back and handed it to Yuehua.

Yuehua found a secluded and uninhabited place, lit the lotus lantern, gently put it down, and stood by the water, looking forward to the lotus lantern going out halfway through.

I was relieved in my heart, and I felt that it was Jun Wan's reincarnation as a human.

In the apse of Ci'an Palace, the concubines are intrigued, and the Ci'an Palace at this time is not peaceful at all.

The Empress Dowager was looking at the hedgehog for wealth on the case, cleaned her hands with a stick of incense, checked the incense head for half an hour, and then sat down satisfied.

This is a custom passed down from the royal dynasties, but the empress dowager can only be offered in the Ci'an Palace, and does not dare to go to the Buddhist hall.

The hedgehog is steamed with flour, wrapped in chopped vermicelli, dried tofu, tofu, cabbage, sesame oil fruit, pinched into the shape of a hedgehog, red beans for eyes, with a comb grate on a few rows of printing dots, and then with scissors to pick up fine and dense thorns, on the back of the camel a small and delicate ingot, steamed in the basket drawer, with cinnabar dots on the red dots, it becomes the sacrifice of the Shangyuan Festival, and the flour steamed into the wheat stack together on the offering table, begging for the coming year Chang'an wind and rain, the five grains are abundant.

She lit incense and felt that it was a good omen, and her mood was much better.

Mama Lin stepped in from the outside at this time, first in a hurry, with an anxious face, the moment she came in, she raised her hand and touched her sideburns, she became dignified, and walked to the queen mother without hurry, and made a color at the palace people in the palace.

The palace people immediately understood, and retreated sideways, I don't know if it was a gust of wind that she brought that made the incense on the desk flicker, and it was extinguished.

The Empress Dowager was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to re-ignite it, but because her hands couldn't help but tremble, or the sandalwood was damp, she didn't light it after shaking it for a few times.

She tried to stabilize her mind, and her left hand grabbed the wrist of her right hand, barely steady, and brought the red candle flame closer, and the incense was rekindled.

"Shouxi, send all the two girls to Mapozi to learn the rules." The Empress Dowager had a calm face, dark clouds, and was full of anger.

The two palace people who had retreated to the gate of the palace were inexplicable, and they didn't know what mistake they had made, and they begged for help.

"The Empress Dowager doesn't have to worry, this burns incense to worship the Buddha, and the incense extinguishes on behalf of the gods, which is a sign that our Chang'an has the blessing of the gods."

The Empress Dowager stared at the incense head and shook her head inscrupulously: "You don't understand." ”

Mama Lin didn't dare to say more.

"Tell me, what's wrong? I hope it will be fulfilled and a disaster will be resolved. ”

Mama Lin leaned over, lowered her voice, and said a word in the ear of the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager changed her face suddenly: "What? Kidnapped? ”

Mama Lin nodded: "Yes, if our people in the Hou Mansion just came in, the old slave didn't dare to delay for a moment." ”

"Who is so daring?"

Mama Lin helped the Empress Dowager to sit down on the couch again, and then shook her head: "Those gangsters have fled, and there is no trace of them." ”

"It's a joke, the daughter of the dignified Hou Mansion will be kidnapped by gangsters? Don't those outlaws who often commit crimes have the least eyesight? I'm afraid there's something boring, right? ”

"I heard that Miss Ling Yan was originally enjoying the lanterns with the girls in the other rooms tonight, who expected that there would be a quarrel in the middle. Miss Ling Yan was arrogant, so she disdained to be with other girls, and she was left alone, giving the villains a chance. ”
