Chapter 23: The Hand-Copied Sutra

Zhu Yijun finally brought back Wang Rong and the scriptures copied, and enshrined them in front of the Buddha, but he didn't say that they must be enshrined in the Qin'an Palace, Wang Ronghe copied a total of three volumes of Buddhist scriptures. [Full text reading. After Zhu Yijun sat cross-legged on the kang and admired it for a while, he took out two of the volumes, "Send these to Cining Palace and Shoukang Palace respectively, and say that I am filial to the Empress Dowager before worshiping the Buddha." ”

The little eunuch came up with the plate, and then went down with the plate, Zhu Yijun looked at the person beside him and said, "Say it." Which of you went to Chuxiu Palace to chew the root of your tongue? ”

Feng Shang's heart jumped, at this time, he would never come forward to talk. Zhang Cheng Lao Shen was hanging his hand, anyway, His Majesty knew that these words definitely didn't come out of his mouth.

"Dumb?" Zhu Yijun asked, "No one has replied to my questions?" ”

Puff puff puff knelt on the ground, Feng Shang sweated on the corner of his forehead, knowing that he couldn't hide, kowtowed and admitted his mistake, "It's the slave's fault, it was the slave who asked Xiao Zhuozi to go to Chuxiu Palace yesterday to find the aunt of the Shanggong Bureau to ask something, but the slave really doesn't know what Xiao Zhuozi said in Chuxiu Palace." ”

Xiao Zhuozi knelt only three steps behind him, his body trembling like chaff, but he couldn't open his mouth to argue. Zhu Yijun didn't raise his head. "Xiao Zhuozi went to get twenty boards and expelled him from the Qianqing Palace, Feng Shang, you also went to get ten boards, the little eunuch at the bottom is not sensible, and you are not sensible?"

Feng Shang hurriedly nodded in thanks, and then retreated and walked out of the hall to receive the punishment in the Celebrant Prison Hall. The celebrant naturally knew that Feng Shang was Feng Daban's righteous grandson, how dare he really fight, just skip a few boards and finish it, poor little Zhuozi, twenty boards are already more out of breath and less in breath, and the person who practices the law winked at Feng Shang, and he couldn't keep it tonight.

Feng Shang was still able to walk on the ground after ten boards, thanked all the eunuchs present, and invited them to drink another day. Squatted down again and whispered to Xiao Zhuozi, who had hatred in his eyes, "Don't blame me for being ruthless, you were expelled from the Qianqing Palace, and you won't have a good life in the future, I'll give you a crisp, so that you don't have to face this kind of gap." ”

Little Zhuozi was bleeding from her mouth.

Although there was no obstacle, Feng Shang still lay in the room for three or four days, and the play had to be done, anyway, there was fun in the room.

The Qianqing Palace sent Buddhist scriptures, and the Empress Dowager Li took them and took a look. "This is a hand-copied scripture, where did Your Majesty come from?"

The person who came shook his head and said that he didn't know, and the Empress Dowager Li asked again, "Where is Your Majesty today?" ”

"I have been in the Qianqing Palace since the next dynasty, and I went to the Qin'an Palace in the middle of the afternoon." Someone said.

Empress Dowager Li asked people to send the scriptures to the Buddha Hall in the apse to worship, and asked people to ask if there were other people in the Qin'an Hall today. The questioner quickly replied, "Since the day before yesterday, the show girls of Chuxiu Palace can be free in the palace back garden during the day, and the show girls like to go to the side hall of Qin'an Hall to worship the Bodhisattva and make wishes. There are also thirty young girls who went to the Qin'an Hall today. ”

"It is a good thing to love the Bodhisattva, believing in the Buddha makes people feel calm, do not fight or grab, do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and cultivate self-cultivation. Since they were so sincere, they asked each of them to copy a book of scriptures and send them to them. Empress Dowager Li said.

The aunt came to the will of the Empress Dowager Li, and the Chuxiu Palace was mixed with joy and sorrow, because of the birth problem, the little half-show girl had never held a pen and paper before entering the palace, and she could read the scriptures, and she didn't know a word on the paper. How many concubines learned to read and write after entering the palace.

My aunt said that she would draw a gourd according to the scriptures, but where did the person who held the pen for the first time draw the gourd, it was either a ball of black ink, or a word that could be written on a piece of paper, and she couldn't help but be ashamed and anxious, and shed tears.

Yang Jingru's father is a little talent, copying scriptures is naturally not a problem, seeing Cui Yiru crying, Liu Jing sitting in a daze The four are empty, so he said to Wang Ronghe, who has been writing with a pen, "Why don't we help them copy it, it doesn't take time." ”

"Everyone's font is different, and if they are discovered, it will hurt them." Wang Ronghe said that she stopped her pen and called Liu Jing and Cui Yiru to come over. "The scriptures of Chinese characters are too difficult to draw, this is a Sanskrit scripture, you practice it a few times, you should be able to draw a decent point."

Cui Yiru took it over and looked at it, full of twists and turns, "Sister Wang, what is this written?" How to bend like a small tadpole. ”

"This is the Sanskrit Buddha saying the five great sutras, do you recite this?" Wang Ronghe asked.

"At home, I also recite the Dim Sum Sutra and the Diamond Sutra, and there are very few scriptures that I can read." Liu Jing said.

"It's okay, this is very short and very simple, you can memorize it when I teach you." Wang Ronghe said, "If you can write, this can't be faked, Sanskrit is easier to copy, and when others asked, they said that you had the wit to ask the bhikshunis of the Qin'an Temple to borrow it." ”

"However, did you go to the Qin'an Temple to borrow it, didn't you know it as soon as you asked?" Cui Yiru said.

"Are you stupid, aren't the two of us in this Chuxiu Palace unable to copy scriptures?" Liu Jing glared at her, "I'll go tell Yuan'er the good news now." "Yuan'er lives in the East Side Hall and is her fellow villager.

"Thanks to my sister, I really don't know what to do this time." Cui Yiru folded his hands together. Wang Ronghe smiled and cleaned his hands with a handkerchief, and said casually, "I just don't know why the Queen Mother suddenly remembered to let us copy the scriptures?" ”

Xi Tao took the handkerchief and nodded inadvertently, Wang Ronghe knew that she would inquire.

It's time to go around Xifu Begonia to eat after dinner, Wang Ronghe insists that the flower bones she touches every day are longer than other flower bones, and Xi Tao also said that Wang Ronghe is more diligent in touching the flower bones. "It is said that yesterday His Majesty took a scroll of scriptures from the Qin'an Palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, and the Queen Mother of the Virgin Mary said that the show girl should follow His Majesty to pay homage, and there was such a thing." Xi Tao said the news she had inquired about.

"Why did Your Majesty take the scriptures from the Qin'an Palace?" Wang Ronghe pretended to be puzzled and asked.

"I can't ask about this, and the bhikshunis in the Qin'an Hall don't even know that His Majesty came yesterday." Xi Tao said.

Wang Rong and changed the leaves, the scriptures that the emperor took yesterday were undoubtedly written by her, and sent them to the queen mother of the two palaces. She is familiar with the original concubines in the palace, it must be who is the show girl, and the queen mother's strategy is very simple and practical.

Wang Ronghe's mind moved and he asked, "I met a bhikshuni in the Qin'an Hall yesterday, but she couldn't see her age clearly, and her bearing was extraordinary, but she was in a hurry yesterday and forgot to ask the bhikshuni Dharma number, do you know who she is?" ”

"Can't tell how old you are?" Xi Tao asked.

"It's just that you should have a lot of experience when you look at it, but it's not easy to judge on the smooth face." Wang Ronghe said.

"That should be Mrs. Jingyi." As soon as Xi Tao heard her description, she knew which one it was, "She was a show girl during the first emperor's years, she had never been favored in her life, and she studied Buddhism with peace of mind, after the death of the first emperor, she refused to go out of the palace and said that she would dedicate her life to pray for the first emperor and pray for the blessing of the society, and she was sent to the nun in the Qin'an Palace." ”

"Mrs. Jingyi is very quiet and kind, and the palace maids are very willing to listen to her chanting." Xi Tao said with some hesitation, "But Mrs. Jingyi has never been favored when she was a show girl, and some people avoid this, yesterday when a show girl went to the Qin'an Palace, she met Mrs. Jingyi and said that she was unlucky, and last night, Mrs. Jingyi was in retreat, and she wanted to avoid the show girl." ”

"In a pure place, how dare you say such a thing to a bhikshuni who serves a bodhisattva. This kind of brain, I don't think it has anything to do with Chengpet, but I have exhausted my appetite. Wang Ronghe said, "I not only met Mrs. Jingyi yesterday, but I also talked to her." Not only did I see it yesterday, but I'm going to see it in the future. Let's see if it affects me. ”

"It would also be good for the girl to be good friends with Master Jingyi." Xi Tao said, "The grease incense powder prepared by Mrs. Jingyi is much better than that made by the palace, otherwise why wouldn't Mrs. Jingyi have wrinkles?" But she doesn't give this away easily, she has to fall in love. ”

Wang Ronghe was not interested in the cream and incense powder, and if Master Jingyi wanted to say that it was for the showgirl, she would not believe it. Without this kind of mind, how could she be a nun in the palace. Regardless of whether Mrs. Jingyi saw His Majesty yesterday or not, she went to copy the scriptures Mrs. Jingyi knew that she copied the scriptures for an afternoon, and she didn't see the scriptures, and her majesty the emperor could think of the scriptures with her toes. The most likely thing about her retreat is that she doesn't want to be involved in this kind of thing, and by the way, she releases a message that reassures her, and she will help her hide it.

So how likely is it that she will use her left hand to complete the sutra homework this time and then hide it from the world? Wang Ronghe fell into deep thought, she didn't want to lose her senseless reputation, after all, she was innocent, the emperor took it, and she didn't give it, she didn't want to give it yet.

But Wang Ronghe soon realized that the problem was that even if she could no longer copy the scriptures with her right hand before the death of the Queen Mother, and not expose it, she might not know when the emperor would sell her, and why she would hide it at that time became strange. The greatest of the knowers is the most uncontrollable, and in this case it seems that there is no other way than to expose oneself honestly.

If the Empress Dowager asked, she only said that she had copied the Qin'an Hall for worship, and she didn't know why His Majesty would take it.

To say that the apse is based on Wang Ronghe as the backbone, the front hall also has a backbone, but it is not Wang Zhixi. Wang Zhixi is beautiful, weak and kind, good at buying people's hearts, and has a lot of supporters. But that's because everyone thinks that according to Wang Zhixi's beauty, he will definitely be favored in the future, and if he is good friends with Wang Zhixi, maybe there will be more opportunities to meet His Majesty.

The main backbone of the front hall is called Zhou Yuting, to say that Wang Zhixi is affectionate and shy, Zhou Yuting is bright eyes and bright teeth, bright and generous, she is ambitious and smart and spends money like dirt, after the palace personnel are stable, all the palace maids are accepted by her to obey, and the palace maids must be approved by her to serve which show girl first. In the show girl, she thinks it is useful to make friends, suppresses her and thinks it is useless, there are people who can't get used to her, make small reports, palace maids and eunuchs and aunts are all bought by her with money, and there is no way to beg for a way, but the next meal is cold, the tea is cold, and the water is cold. The show girls are all small jasper, where have they seen such a battle, and everywhere Zhou Yuting went for a while, no one did not back down, and her arrogance was high.

Zhou Yuting is not stupid, the show girls who take refuge in her can often have the meticulous service of the palace maids, and the hot meal is to go to the Qin'an Palace, and everyone can be arranged to enter the palace to worship, and it is okay to stay for a long time.

Even if she suppresses show girls, she often uses verbal humiliation, and others can't catch her. What's more, later, in order to please her, other show girls took the initiative to trouble the show girls she wanted to suppress, and she was even cleaner and innocent.

It is said that it is the backbone of the main temple, and perhaps it is more appropriate to say that it is the overlord of the front hall.

Wang Zhixi and Zhou Yuting can't get used to each other and can't kill each other, so they simply don't interfere with each other and have nothing to do with each other.
