Chapter 172: Engagement
When Chizun was observing Li Yuntong, Li Yuntong was also looking at her.
Although the two had met in Langyue Palace that day, they were polite to each other on that occasion, and it was impossible to stare at each other.
There are only two people at this time, so naturally there are no such considerations.
Chizun's appearance is a typical interracial woman, her skin is pale honey, her high nose is straight, her two long eyelashes are like small black feather fans, fluttering, and her long eyebrows are like daisies, which seem to be dyed with the blackest ink, making her eyes rounder and bigger, and her eyebrows and eyes are deeper.
Compared with Li Yuntong's clear beauty of muscles and liver, Chizun looks beautiful and charming, with a kind of flamboyant beauty, and his figure is also plump and soft, graceful and graceful. This kind of appearance, if it can't be suppressed, it is easy to flow into the wind and dust, and there is a faint dignified strand between her eyebrows, which makes it look charming and vulgar.
At this time, she was also dressed in a very attractive color, a silver-red flowing cloud brocade pattern beard jacket, a crimson dark woven gold blessing skirt, and during the action, the whole person was as eye-catching as an unpredictable flame.
The dozens of braids of the crow crow happen to wear a phoenix crown, the crown is decorated with pearls, ruby sapphires, opals, two rows of hanging pearls, the end of the hanging beads is also decorated with red sapphires, as long as the slightest movement, the two sides of the hanging gem beads will shine a radiant face, shining.
It is more and more dazzling, and there is a mysterious beauty.
Although her appearance is not the color of the country, the charm between the eyebrows in her bones is like the flying goddess in the painting, which is moving.
Seeing Li Yuntong looking at himself, Chizun smiled slightly, like a Gesang flower in the sun, flamboyant and beautiful.
Li Yuntong's heart sank.
She still remembered that when she was looking at Chizun in Langyue Palace the day before, she knelt beside Cai Bangsa, wearing a misty purple robe, smiling like a lilac in the morning breeze, blooming timidly, even the delicate petals were shy and secretly stretched, as if a drop of dew could bend her.
There was a lot of noise all around, but she was quiet and gentle.
And at this time, her majesty is like light and electricity, which is impossible to see.
Obviously, Chizun had only deliberately restrained his momentum in front of Cai Bangsa before.
That's right, if it was an ordinary woman, how could she escape in the hands of Songtsen Gampo's rebellious Uncle Wang.
Obviously, this princess of Nipol is brave and resourceful, and she is not a golden person.
Seeing some of Chizun's character, Li Yuntong didn't go around the bend, and simply went straight to the point: "The Bon sect is powerful, and it has invaded this palace, and yesterday it was a ...... of Naruomu."
She told the story again.
Chizun listened and listened, although she still maintained her composure on the surface, her heart was getting more and more shocked, and as soon as Li Yuntong finished speaking, she couldn't help but ask, "Did he really bring even a little ghost into the palace?" ”
Li Yuntong nodded, and took out a small porcelain bottle from his purse, "That little ghost has been sealed in the bottle by me, in order to reincarnate it, it is necessary to do a magic thing, lest it be too resentful and harm the world." But we can't let Bon do this ritual, we have to use Buddhist monks, I just came here, and I'm not familiar with them, so my sister has to come forward and find a reliable and respected monk to do this. ”
Chizun thought for a while, then nodded and said: "This is a merit, and it is also a good thing to carry forward Buddhism in Tibet, I will naturally help you." Not only that, but I also have an idea to build a temple in Tibet, a Buddhist temple that is more magnificent than the Bon temple, and this idea was also put forward by Zampu, and now that you are here, I will build another one in your name. ”
"In the name of our two queens who believe in Buddhism, coupled with this opportunity, we can somewhat suppress the momentum of Bon."
didn't expect Chizun to agree so happily, Li Yuntong was a little stunned.
"We are not like the Central Plains people, the intestines are twisted and turned, I help you, you have to help me. Previously, I chose a place to build the temple, thinking that the temple would be completed, so I put the eight-year-old life-size Buddha statue of Shakyamuni in it, but after all these years of construction, the temple has had frequent accidents and has never been completed. Since you know Kanyu, help me see what Feng Shui is all about. ”
Glancing at Li Yuntong, Chizun's body leaned forward slightly, quite aggressive, "Also, although I am also the queen, I came before you and am older than you, so you have to condescend to you, I am the big and you are the youngest." ”
This is to discuss things with her and distinguish the status of the two.
Li Yuntong smiled slightly, as if he didn't care, "Just because I know that my sister came first and is two years older than me, I have always regarded myself as a younger sister and I have grown up with you." But my sister, who has seen me very well, has always called me Jiamusa, and I have been wondering if it is rude to call you Jiajinsa in front of people. ”
If it weren't for the sly smile that flashed in her eyes, Chizun would have thought that she didn't understand her own words, but the words had already been said to this point, and it would be meaningless if she was rejected again.
Chizun sat up straight, and said with a dignified smile: "I suddenly thought that I had to help my mother copy some scriptures to the Bodhisattva recently, and I had to help my sister prepare for the ceremony in the past few days, I am afraid that I will not have time to work on the Dharma and the matter of choosing the temple, I am afraid that my sister will have to work harder." ”
Is this an opportunity to blackmail oneself and refuse to help?
Li Yuntong understood, so he looked at Chizun with wide eyes, and said straight to the point: "This thing of promoting Buddhism is not something I can do alone, my sister is a smart person, of course I know the truth that if we work together, we will benefit both, and if we divide it, we will lose both." If you don't want to help, you won't be able to do the Fa, the temple won't be built well, and I'm not the only one who will lose. ”
"If you and I break up, I'm afraid that the people of the Bon sect will laugh and blossom."
Chizun knew that Li Yuntong was right, but because she refused to surrender to herself, she was still a little unhappy, and she couldn't get permission from Songtsen Gampo, she wanted to protect her own rights and interests, of course, she had to take advantage of Li Yuntong's unstable foundation, if she wasn't a person who worshiped the Buddha and couldn't do that evil thing, how could she fight with Li Yuntong.
Seeing Chizun's displeasure, Li Yuntong said softly: "'Why? It is the appearance of all sentient beings who have no self-appearance, human appearance, sentient beings' appearance, and long-lived appearance; There is no phase, and there is no illegal phase. Why? It is the sentient beings who take the appearance of their hearts, then they are the ones who live for the sake of our sentient beings. If you take the Dharma, you will be the one who lives for all living beings. Why? If we take the illegal appearance, that is, the longevity of all living beings, we should not take the Dharma, and we should not take the illegal. For this reason, it is often said, 'Thou bhikkhus, thou knowest my dharma, like a raft parable; The law should be abandoned, let alone illegal. ’”
This passage she recited lightly is a passage from the Diamond Sutra, which says that the reason why people who have been gathering good roots for a long time are able to obtain the protection of the Buddha and attain immeasurable merit is because they are far away from attachment to separation, and they no longer have the appearance of self, people, sentient beings, and longevity, and they are no longer attached to any famous words and laws...... Take this to persuade Chizun to let go of his dignity and humility.
Chizun thought for a while, and chuckled: "I remember, 'The Buddha told Su Bodhi, all appearances are false, if you see all the appearances are not the same, then you see the same', so to speak, it is really me who is fascinated by the appearance, although my sister is younger, in this Buddha, but better than me." ”
Seeing that Chizun was no longer entangled in the matter of who was higher and who was lower, Li Yuntong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the other party was also a person who worshiped the Buddha, and intended to carry forward the Buddhism in Tibet, otherwise he would have to have a dragon fight with himself, if that was the case, it would be really troublesome.
Seeing Li Yuntong's relaxed expression, Chizun said with a smile: "Having said that, most of the people in this world are people who praise the high and the low, and it is inevitable that there will be people who are close to me, and if you and I are a group of harmony, it will inevitably touch the unhappiness of some people, but it is better for you and me to fight openly and secretly, and if there is something, you can still help." Don't blame me for not reminding you, at the ceremony, Xing Lile will temporarily change the musicians of the Tang Dynasty to show the grand ......"
Chizun's words made Li Yuntong surprised, if she didn't know in advance, she would definitely not arrange for the musicians to prepare in the past two days, and they would play temporarily, maybe something would go wrong, which made people look down on Datang......
She sincerely thanked Chizun, "Thank you sister for reminding me." I've been here for a long time, but I'm afraid that it will cause people to be suspicious, so I'll go back to prepare for the ceremony first, and wait for you to arrange a monk who does a good job, and squeak me. ”
"Don't say thank you, I heard that you brought a lot of Buddhist scriptures from the Tang Dynasty, I don't understand your Datang dialect, there are original Sanskrit chapters in it, borrow me to see, I will have someone copy it and then return it."
After listening to Chizun's request, Li Yuntong agreed.
……
The day before the ceremony, Zhima Tuojia called the noblewomen of Tibet into the palace, saying that they were all here to participate in the ceremony to congratulate them, and they happened to meet Li Yuntong and get close to each other in advance.
Tomorrow is the ceremony, many things have not been done, if she is here to say a few words with these noblewomen, half a day will pass, think about tonight she doesn't want to sleep well, and tomorrow she will be in a trance or haggard, it will inevitably be discussed...... Did this mother-in-law do it on purpose, or was she really looking for an opportunity to have a good relationship with the Tibetan ladies as she said?
Li Yuntong didn't want to guess Zhima Tuojia's true intentions, since this matter was beyond speculation, she greeted those noble ladies with a smile, and listened to them praise her appearance, praise her intelligence, and learn the Tibetan dialect in such a short time.
In fact, it is not short at all, she started to learn from Chang'an, and she never stopped for a day, plus the time she stayed in Yushu on the way, it was almost two years, she didn't learn to make a fuss, just to deal with ordinary communication, of course, it was not a problem, but if what others said was too complicated, she still didn't understand it.
There was a woman who was said to be the third aunt of Songtsen Gampo, pulling Li Yuntong's clothes, amazed and full of envy, "I don't know what the material of this dress is woven with, it looks like a cloud, and I don't know when we Tubo people will be able to wear such clothes." ”
In this case, Li Yuntong didn't hear it, just sat there and smiled slightly.
When she came, she brought a lot of fabrics, of course, she could be rewarded, but with so many people, it was a matter of rewarding anyone or not, and if she rewarded them all, it would be the same as not rewarding, and she would not show favor, and no matter how much clothing she brought from Datang, there would be a number after all, if such a big sabat was scattered, she would be empty in two years.
Scarcity is precious, and rewards must be rewarded only if they are meritorious.
Meeting with these noble ladies, she has prepared a lot of gold and silver coins and local products of the Tang Dynasty to be rewarded, and if she gives a few more, they will compliment her in person, and she must be a fool behind her back.
