Chapter 144: Chapter 42
Seeing Song Qingshu staring directly at his mother, Ah Ke couldn't help but snort coldly.
Song Qingshu came back to his senses and saluted back: "It turned out to be Princess Pingxi, Song was rude, but I didn't expect the princess to be even more beautiful than rumored." β
Chen Yuanyuan heard this kind of thing a lot, and he didn't pay much attention to it, and smiled faintly: "It's just a stinky skin, the little woman only hates her natural appearance, which hurts the people in the world." Speaking of this, my eyes turned red, and I couldn't help but cry.
Ah Ke on the side saw that Song Qingshu made his mother cry as soon as he opened his mouth, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Do you really don't know or not, Princess Pingxi has someone else, my mother is not ......"
Chen Yuanyuan's expression was also a little embarrassed, she was purchased by Wu Sangui's daughter back then, and she was deeply loved, and Wu Sangui became a big traitor spurned by the world for him, she was actually very moved in her heart. I was going to love him wholeheartedly, but I didn't know that Wu Sangui was named the queen of Pingxi by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but she was afraid of her origin in the land of fireworks, and she was worried that she would be the lady of the imperial court, which would make people laugh.
"Why should Madame care about a mere name, after a few hundred years, who will remember who the current Princess of Pingxi is? They will only think that Madame is the real Princess of Pingxi. Song Qingshu said.
Over the years, no one has dared to mention the issue of reputation in front of her, for fear of making her sad and uncomfortable, Chen Yuanyuan himself often feels sorry for himself, and today he was explained by Song Qingshu from a unique and innovative perspective, and he found that his heart was much more comfortable, and he pursed his lips and smiled: "The little girl is rude, let Lord Song stand for so long, please sit down and serve tea to the distinguished guests." β
Seeing Song Qingshu's words, Ah Ke coaxed his mother into a smile, and said angrily: "How do you know what happened hundreds of years later?"
"I'm here hundreds of years later, and I know the truth. Song Qingshu's tone was full of calmness and confidence.
Ah Ke didn't bother to pay attention to him, and helped Chen Yuanyuan to sit down on the other side.
Soon the next person offered tea, Song Qingshu opened the bowl, a burst of fragrance, a piece of green in the bowl, it was the new Longjing tea, his lips couldn't help showing a sneering smile, and he thought to himself: "This Longjing tea is transported here from the south of the Yangtze River, the price is very expensive, Chen Yuanyuan, a monk, is really generous." The subordinate is holding a lacquer tray again, presenting eight-colored fine dots, and the white disk contains pine nut candy, walnut cake, walnut slices, rose cake, sugar almonds, mung bean cake, lily cake, osmanthus candied bayberry, all of which are Soviet-style snacks, delicate and abnormal.
"Hey, my mother is kind enough to entertain you, but you are so rude with a mocking face!" Ah Ke kept staring at him, noticing his expression, and couldn't help but say angrily.
Song Qingshu didn't pay attention to her, but looked at Chen Yuanyuan and said, "Madame, do you know why I'm laughing?"
Chen Yuanyuan didn't know what to do, and shook his head in confusion.
Song Qingshu stood up and pointed to a copper incense burner on the coffee table, and a wisp of green smoke was rising in the middle, "I am the deputy head of the palace guard, and I still know a little about sandalwood, which is the most precious sandalwood, and the burning in the room of the queen mother is nothing more than that, it was originally used to calm the mind and calm the breath, but the lady is now leading the practice, and using such a precious sandalwood will inevitably fall into the inferior, as the so-called' As long as the lady is pious in her heart, she can naturally understand the Buddha's way, so why borrow foreign objects?"
Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but look slightly embarrassed, although the other party said politely, but the tone was very mocking, and then looked at the pastries and tea carefully prepared by the subordinates, and felt that he was vulgar. Recalling that as one of Qin Huai's Bayans, Chen Yuanyuan maneuvered between various princes and grandsons, and would never make such a low-level mistake when receiving people and things. Unexpectedly, as I grew older, my taste had unconsciously fallen into clichΓ©s.
Xie Lu Xie Gongzi pointed out, Yuan Yuanzheng wondered why for so many years, he didn't know much about the Zen principles in the Buddhist scriptures, it turned out to be because of his insincerity. Chen Yuanyuan stood up and saluted.
Song Qingshu saw that when she smiled, her divine light was detached, and when she was sad, she couldn't help but be full of pity, and hurriedly reached out to support her arms and gently supported her: "I don't know what Buddhist scriptures Madame reads on weekdays?"
Chen Yuanyuan has not had physical contact with a man for many years, and when he was touched by Song Qingshu, his face was slightly red, and a delicate red oozed from his smooth white skin, as if a layer of rouge was smeared on the white jade, "I'm not afraid that Song Gongzi will laugh, the little woman has only read the "Diamond Sutra", "The Sutra of the Six Ancestors", "The Book of the Earth Collection", and "The Forty-two Chapters Sutra". β
Song Qingshu asked casually, but he didn't expect to hear the news of the "Forty-two Chapters Sutra", and hurriedly said quietly: "A copy of the Diamond Sutra, half of which says that all beings are empty, and half of which says that the law is empty, is indeed a bit obscure. The central idea of the "Sutra of the Altar of the Six Patriarchs" is 'seeing sex to become a Buddha', and a single word of sex can make many people confused. The "Jizo Honwish Sutra" of "hell is not empty, vow not to become a Buddha, all sentient beings are exhausted, and Founder Bodhi" is a great wish, but it is difficult for people to see hope. As for the "Forty-two Chapters Sutra", I have only heard that it is easy to understand, and I have never seen its contents, I wonder if Mrs. Lu Dao has a collection here, can you let me watch it in the next time?"
"Gongzi is really talented, and he also has such a deep study of Buddhist scriptures," Chen Yuanyuan glanced at Song Qingshu in surprise, turned around and ordered, "Ah Ke, go to your mother's bed and take the "Forty-two Chapters Sutra" next to the pillow for Song Gongzi to see." β
"Oh~" Ah Ke was afraid of hearing it for a while, so he hurriedly ran to the inner room and quickly retrieved it.
"Sure enough, it's the "Forty-two Chapters of the Sutra" of the Zhenglan Banner!" Song Qingshu thought secretly in his heart, and read it quietly for a while, but the other party was suspicious, and returned the scripture again, "The content is indeed simple and fresh." β
Chen Yuanyuan nodded and smiled: "Yes, the concubine also thinks it is easiest to understand when she reads this scripture." β
Song Qingshu saw that she was wearing a Taoist robe, but she was discussing Buddhism with herself, and felt a little funny in her heart, so she continued to talk for a while, and said: "I can't hide it, I came here this time to take Lord Ake back." β
"Hmph! It's obviously your own fault, if you have to let one of my daughter's families bear it, I won't enter the palace anyway. Hearing his words, Ake's face suddenly darkened.
Chen Yuanyuan thought of the infamy he had borne all his life, and felt the same way: "Song Gongzi, I still hope that you will return to the prince, I will never agree to Ah Ke entering Beijing." β
