The chaos in the Pei family gradually faded away in mid-September. No one would mention the brave General Pei anymore. More than a dozen officials involved in the case were dismissed and exiled. The heroes who once turned against each other succeeded Concubine Qing's father and General Pei. After the general incident, I can't see much anymore
The imperial court decided to open Enke this autumn to select a group of talents for the changing imperial court.
Queen Shen Han also decided to go to the royal temple Yuhua Temple this autumn to pray for the court and harem.
After setting an auspicious day, they would inform the temple of its preparations, and then arrange the entourage. Cui Shanggong handed over the list of thousands of choices to Shen Han. Shen Han didn't mind very much. This time she was just the queen traveling. , there are no other concubines, and there is a lot less talk
"Chen Ronghua's fetus is also two months old. Everyone in the hospital is watching carefully to make sure there is no mistake." Chen Ronghua is the concubine who has been promoted. Shen Huan ordered while watching Chun'er tidy up.
It's rare to leave the palace. Chun'er was excited and said with a smile: "I know, I'll tell the people in the Imperial Hospital right now and keep an eye on them. But Imperial Physician Sun still has to follow us to Yuhua Temple? Otherwise, if the empress has a noble body, If it violates the agreement, wouldn't it be more troublesome? It would be more reassuring to bring Imperial Physician Sun along."
Shen Huan glanced at her and said with a smile: "You understand this!"
But Chun'er sighed: "I thought you had a dragon fetus! I am so happy. Who knew..." At this point, he started to sigh again.
Shen Huan was not annoyed, and smiled at Xiang Ming and said: "This girl says "dragon fetus" on the left and "dragon fetus on the right", go back and clean her up and put her on the dragon bed in the Qian Palace, so that she can conceive a dragon fetus and save money. There’s a lot of chirping here.”
Chun'er had already blushed with embarrassment, but she didn't want to be annoyed. She waited for a long time before saying: "This is not like what the queen said!" She stopped cleaning up, closed the curtain and ran out.
Xiangming smiled helplessly and said: "This girl is a solid eye" and lowered her voice and asked: "Your Majesty, are you worried about Chen Ronghua's dragon fetus when you come here to pray for blessings?"
Shen Huan nodded and said sternly: "Although Concubine Pei has been eliminated, there are still people in the palace who make me worry! She has harmed so many people, but she is so hidden that I have no way to deal with her for the time being..."
Xiangming asked in a low voice: "Is the empress talking about Yao Ronghua?"
Shen Huan gritted his teeth and said, "Who else is there besides her?"
Xiang Ming was silent. During the silence, Chun'er came in again and said with a strange expression: "Yao Ronghua is here."
Shen Huan and Xiang Ming looked at each other, and Shen Huan let her in.
Unexpectedly, Yao Ronghua actually asked the queen to take her to Yuhua Temple
Shen Huan felt strange in her heart and just said: "It's good if you have such intention, but this time I told the emperor that I am not planning to take the other concubines with me. Why does sister Rong Hua have to go?"
Yao Ronghua smiled humbly and said: "I didn't want to embarrass the Empress, but it was just a matter of praying for blessings. I have always wanted to follow you. One is for my national destiny in the Northern Dynasties, the other is for Chen Ronghua's dragon fetus, and the third is... alas, the Queen Mother My body is getting worse and worse. As a relative of the Queen Mother, I very much hope to go to Yuhua Temple to pray for the Queen Mother and to ask for a peace charm for the Queen Mother."
Shen Wen smiled and said: "Since my sister is so filial, I will naturally be kind to you." Then she said to Cui Shanggong: "Add Yao Ronghua's name too."
"yes"
Shen Huan and Yao Ronghua looked at each other and smiled, but they had their own thoughts. Shen Huan didn't know what Yao Ronghua was thinking, but she was sure that taking Yao Ronghua out of the palace and preventing her from having a dragon fetus would save her life no matter what her purpose was. Dragon fetus, that is the most important thing!
When the Queen travels, no matter how small the number of people is, there are still more than 100 people. In addition, there is Rong Hua, so there are 200 people traveling with her.
When we arrived at Yuhua Temple, Yuhua Temple was indeed a royal temple, majestic and towering.
Climbing up the stairs, you can see three gilt characters on the gate: Yuhua Temple is the work of Emperor Shengzu. Since the Northern Dynasty entered the customs, he has attached great importance to Buddhist temples. Emperor Shengzu's youngest son once became a monk here. It was the last one. host
But the current host is the great-grandfather of the late emperor's wife, Queen Xie - everyone in the royal temple is extremely famous. In addition to this host, there is also the eighth brother of the current emperor who became a monk here. He is also Shen Huan's cousin.
In the main hall, the treasures are solemn. Shen Huan went in first to kowtow and burn incense to the Buddha. After bowing respectfully, he was guided by the host to take a rest in the monastery prepared at the back.
There is a large pond behind the temple. The water is calm and clear, and there are lazy fish swimming in the water. There are nine winding corridors, pavilions and pavilions on the pond, as well as a fishing stone square. Emperors of all dynasties would sit here to meditate when they came here to pray. meditation
There is also a stone arch bridge leading directly to the rear. The arch bridge is carved from white marble, which is no less impressive than the buildings in the palace. The host led the queen and others to pass on the arch bridge. When they saw the corridor on one side, they felt that the scenery was pleasant and majestic.
There is a couplet hanging on the door outside the Zen room, which is exactly the famous couplet "The winding path leads to a secluded place, the Zen room is deep with flowers and trees." Shen Han looked up and smiled.
The size of the Zen rooms are all the same. Shen Huan entered one of them, and the others were on the left and right. Yao Ronghua's room was arranged some distance away.
As soon as he sat down, Shen Huan said to Cui Shanggong: "Teacher, why is it that my cousin is not seen among the people who greeted me today? Teacher, can you help me ask?"
Cui Shanggong asked: "May I ask what the eighth prince's name will be after he becomes a monk?"
Shen Huan thought for a while and said: "The best"
Cui Shanggong nodded and went out to help her ask. After a while, he came back and said, "The little master outside said that the Supreme Master was chanting sutras and did not greet the empress."
Shen Huan sighed and said lonely: "I know."
Cui Shanggong comforted him and said: "My queen is not here for only a day or two. There will always be a chance to see the Eighth Prince."
Shen Wen smiled and said: "In this case, the teacher will order all the monks to chant sutras for the dragon fetus! I will personally pray for blessings later."
Cui Shanggong quickly conveyed the news, and soon, even in the backyard, those deep chanting sounds could be heard
Shen Huan sat on the bed and suddenly thought: I don’t know which of these voices belongs to my cousin.
Later, when she was about to go out, she happened to see Yao Ronghua also leaving the meditation room.
So, the two of them went to the main hall together
The chanting monks have not dispersed yet. They have their backs turned to them, wearing blue cassocks and shaved scalps. Each of them holds a handful of wooden fish in his hand and chants the "Diamond Sutra" in his mouth.
Shen Huan wanted to look for his cousin through the backs of these people, but found that it was in vain - their backs were all the same, green clothes, bald heads, solemn and motionless.
She was slightly disappointed, and looked at Yao Ronghua helplessly, only to find the disappointment in Yao Ronghua's eyes. It was strange that she didn't need him. Shen Huan thought like this, is she also looking for an old friend?
Feeling the Queen's strange gaze, Yao Ronghua put away his eyes and lowered his head slightly.
(ps: There is another update that will be a little late, I will go out to eat first)
