Of course, Li Qinglu is not called Li Qinglu, her Chinese name is called Li Miaoyin.

Similar to Xiao Guanyin, they all originated from Buddhism.

Miao Yin is the goddess of debate, also known as the mother of the Buddha, and the prototype is the wife of the main god Brahma of Hinduism. In Mahayana Buddhism, it is regarded as the incarnation of Manjushri.

Five generations later, the dominant trend in Tibet was to reject Buddhism, and a large number of Tibetan monks were driven to Western Xia.

While absorbing Tibetan Buddhism, the Western Xia also went to the Great Song Dynasty many times to obtain Buddhist scriptures, so it was mixed with Mahayana Buddhist thoughts. The big names or nicknames of the Tangut nobles were more or less related to Buddhism, and even derived from the transliteration of Sanskrit.

In fact, the messenger of Zhenla, who is called Guma Sanggo, also properly belongs to the Buddhist name.

Kuma, the abbreviation of Morofuta, originally meant the land of innocence, and by extension, the bodhisattva of more than eight places, the prince of the clouds.

The monk, or Singh, originally meant lion.

A good Buddha name was changed to Li Qinglu by Prince Zhu, and the main owner was really a little resentful in his heart.

She changed into a green wedding dress, held a ceremony during the day, and was then welcomed into the East Palace by the ceremonial officials and palace people. As for the Western Xia envoys, they were accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple to eat and drink wine in Daxiangguo Temple.

The Northern Song Dynasty court often received foreign guests in the Daxiangguo Temple, and of course wine and meat were not prohibited here.

Not only can't help it, Daxiangguo Temple also sells pork, and specially engaged in a "burning Zhu Yuan". Changing "pig" to "Zhu" can be regarded as worthy of the Buddha.

Of course, on the day that Prince Zhu led his troops into the city, Daxiangguo Temple quickly took off the sign, and now it has become a "roast pig courtyard" again.

Compared with paying homage to the Buddha, it is more important to avoid the royal family!

Caifeng, the maid of the bridal house, was looking under the corridor, and seeing that it was already dark, she returned to the room and said anxiously: "Second sister, why hasn't the prince come yet?" ”

Li Qinglu said angrily: "I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?" ”

"The slave maid is not worth it for the princess, she has come all the way to marry, and Prince Zhu doesn't even show up for the wedding." Caifeng pouted.

Li Qinglu said: "Since ancient times, the daughters of the clan who have been close to each other have been at the mercy of others. ”

Caifeng saw that the princess was worried, so she changed to something else: "Second sister, this Tokyo is very prosperous, but it's a pity that His Royal Highness King Shu (Li Renli) doesn't let him go out shopping." The second sister is so beautiful, she will definitely be able to please Prince Zhu. When the prince agreed, he walked around the city of Tokyo. ”

Li Qinglu couldn't see his lover left and right, so he simply took out a copy of "Vimala Sutra", held the Buddhist scripture and chanted it in a low voice.

"The prince has arrived!"

Shouting this is not to put on a score, but to remind the people in the courtyard to avoid being rude to each other in a hurry.

Li Qinglu hurriedly put down the Buddhist scriptures and went out to greet her with the maid of the dowry, and the palace maid arranged by Daming also stepped forward to meet her.

"You don't have to be formal, just go in and talk." Zhu Ming smiled.

Li Qinglu followed behind Zhu Ming's side, and the maid helped her pull the long dress.

Zhu Ming saw that she was unable to move, so he stopped and hugged her right arm, which made Li Qinglu feel a little good.

"Are you hungry?" Zhu Ming asked.

Li Qinglu replied: "Before the slave came out of the Great Xiangguo Temple, he had already eaten some stomach pads. ”

"I've been busy all afternoon, and I haven't eaten dinner yet, so let's eat some here." Zhu Ming said.

"Yes." Li Qinglu said.

The two entered the house together, and the maid stayed outside the house to listen to the order, and closed the door intimately.

Zhu Ming saw the Buddhist scriptures on the table, picked them up and looked at them: "Western Xia characters? ”

Li Qinglu said: "Returning to His Royal Highness, it is the script of the Great Xia Kingdom. ”

This careful thought made Zhu Ming laugh, and ordered: "There is no need to argue about Western Xia or Great Xia, in the future, only Xia Guo will be called." ”

"Your Highness is wise." Li Qinglu breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that Prince Zhu would be angry because of this.

Zhu Ming said: "It's okay to call Xianggong or husband, or even Dalang, don't call Your Highness anymore, it's too much between husband and wife." ”

Li Qinglu hurriedly saluted: "The slave has seen her husband." ”

Still tightly restrained, Zhu Ming could understand, and asked, "How to recognize the Xia Kingdom script?" ”

Li Qinglu pointed to the cover and said: "This is the word dimension, the dimension of the four dimensions." This is the word Mo, the Mo of the cliff. It's ......"

"Buddhist scriptures?" Zhu Ming raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." Li Qinglu obviously didn't know what to say, and he didn't notice Prince Zhu's displeasure at all.

Zhu Ming didn't need to be angry with a woman, and asked with a smile: "Do you believe in Buddhism?" ”

Li Qinglu said: "Big ...... The people of my Xia country all believe in Buddhism, and the slave's original name is Miaoyin, which is also taken from the Bodhisattva. ”

Compared with all kinds of Buddhism, Zhu Ming was more interested in the Xixia text, looked at the cover and looked at it, and then opened the scriptures: "What does this Buddhist scripture say?" ”

Li Qinglu concluded: "Liberation does not have to be a home, as long as you practice hard, even if you live in a worldly world, you can be rich without greed, have a wife and concubine and stay away from the five desires." Entering the world and being born, being and not being phased, being knowledgeable and ignorant, life and death and nirvana, are generally equal. From this method, there is no way to endure life, stay away from all delusions, and enter the realm of Nirvana. ”

Zhu Ming smiled when he heard this, and commented: "This Buddhist scripture is tailor-made for the powerful and rich." ”

The ability to practice without having to become a monk, and even to continue to enjoy wealth, power, and beauty, is a practice that caters perfectly to certain groups of people.

"Doesn't my husband believe in Buddhism?" Li Qinglu asked.

Zhu Ming replied: "Buddha, ghosts and gods." Zi said, worship ghosts and gods and stay away. ”

Li Qinglu had a diplomatic mission, that is, to curry favor with Prince Zhu as much as possible and say a few good words for Western Xia at a critical moment. She was afraid that Prince Zhu would be unhappy: "Can the slave still worship the Buddha and chant sutras in the future?" ”

Zhu Ming said: "Don't be too obsessed, don't induce others to believe in Buddhism, everything else can be at will." ”

"Yes!" Li Qinglu felt that Prince Zhu was very tolerant.

Then, Prince Zhu began to learn foreign languages, and earnestly consulted the basic structure and radicals of the Tangut script.

After a general understanding, Zhu Ming was not interested.

It's so tedious!

A very simple "big" character, there are fifteen strokes in the Tangut script. Numbers such as "two", "three", and "four" are mostly more than ten strokes.

The palace maid brought dinner, three dishes and one soup, and two vegetarian dishes.

Li Qinglu didn't know how to pat on the back at all, but she remembered that she should pat on the back, so she praised: "The meals of the Ming royal family are really simple, and Your Majesty and her husband are both Ming Jun." ”

"Sit down and eat." Zhu Ming said with a smile.

Li Qinglu sat down obediently, and the maid Caifeng hurriedly helped serve the meal.

Zhu Ming asked, "In addition to worshipping the Buddha, what else do you like to do?" ”

Li Qinglu said: "I also read Han poetry. Li Taibai and Su Dongpo's poems, in the big ...... My Xia country is the most widely spread. The husband's poems and articles, the slave has also read them attentively, and they are not inferior to the ancient and modern masterpieces. ”

"What kind of instrument?" Zhu Ming asked again.

Li Qinglu said: "I can only use silk string instruments such as pipa, gonghou, and qinse. ”

Zhu Ming became interested: "Can you still play the gonghou?" ”

This thing also existed in the Song Dynasty, but it was not as popular as in the Tang Dynasty, and it was mostly a large vertical gong of more than one meter.

Even less common is the Wogonghou, which looks like a guqin, but only has five strings – the ancestor of the Korean Xuanqin.

"The slave brought Konghou here." Li Qinglu said and put the chopsticks to get it.

Zhu Ming said: "Let's talk about it after eating." ”

After dinner, we chatted for a while, and the maid brought the small vertical basket.

It looks like a Western harp, and both originate from the two river basins.

This is miniaturized and portable, with the left hand holding the piano and the right hand plucking the strings, Li Qinglu opened his mouth and sang "Water Tune Song Head": "When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky......"

Su Shi deserves to be a national idol, and his fans are all over the Song, Liaoxia, and Three Kingdoms.

Zhu Ming is not completely music blind, he has learned a little knowledge of ancient music over the years, he picked up chopsticks and tapped the wine jug to beat Li Qinglu.

Listen with your eyes closed, and enjoy it.

Li Qinglu finished singing Su Shi's words, and then sang Prince Zhu's words. The music made her feel much more relaxed, no longer as restrained as she was at the beginning, and the life of marrying distant relatives seemed to be less difficult than she imagined.

After singing a few lyrics and songs, Zhu Ming asked about the costumes and customs of Western Xia.

I heard that Li Qinglu also brought foreign costumes, so I was very interested to see what happened.

There are two kinds of clothes, round neck and collar, and the collar clothing is the same as that of the Han people. There are also decorations such as cloud shoulders, which are also obviously derived from the Han nationality, and many styles of clothing are no different from Hanfu.

Zhu Ming pointed to a round-neck cardigan dress: "This is unique to the Xia Kingdom?" ”

Li Qinglu said: "But it is Uighur clothes. In addition to the Han Chinese costumes, the Xia nobles also liked to wear Uighur clothing. ”

Well, there are many heroes, and all nationalities are absorbed.

Li Qinglu saw that Prince Zhu was very interested, so he asked, "Is it good for the slave to change this one?" ”

"Fabulous." Zhu Ming said with a smile.

Li Qinglu was shy and avoided people, ran to the back room to change clothes, and squirmed for more than ten minutes.

It is very similar to the national costume of Xinjiang in later generations, characterized by large lapels and narrow sleeves. However, he did not have a small hat, but wore a pointed round gold crown with a few flower hairpins on the right.

The maid Caifeng clapped her hands and sang the ballad of Western Xia, although there was no musical accompaniment, Li Qinglu still danced, and there was a little bit of Hu Xuan dance.

It's just that the appearance is not orchid, and everything else can be on the right number.

Zhu Ming enjoyed it very much, and he empathized with the kings of the past dynasties, and it was too easy for people to fall by holding the power of the world.

"Is this a Xia or a Uighur dance?" Zhu Ming asked.

Li Qinglu slowed down and said, "The slave doesn't know, but he just learned from others." ”

Zhu Ming walked over: "How did the man jump?" ”

Li Qinglu then taught the prince how to dance and how to do it.

After tossing for a long time, Zhu Ming was clumsy and could dance, and began to dance with two people.

Zhu Ming regards Li Shimin as an idol, so naturally he has to learn everything, and Li Shimin often dances in person.

Well...... It's just fun and relaxing.

The two danced more and more ambiguously, and the atmosphere was almost set off, Prince Zhu picked up Princess Xixia by the waist, turned in a circle and walked towards the bedroom.

"Slow down, slow down, I'm going to fall!" Li Qinglu wrapped his arms around the back of Zhu Ming's neck, for fear of being thrown out of the air by him.

The maid grinned and quickly closed the door.
