Whether I am a "permanent settler" or a "temporary resident" is not mentioned in the imperial edict.
From this point of view, it depends on the physical condition of the Emperor and the Queen Mother. Then I pray that they don’t knock their teeth when drinking water, twist their waists when eating, or clinch their feet due to coughing, etc. I guess I will be converted from a permanent settler.
As a temporary resident, even though he was uneasy, he comforted himself and chanted the sutra as soon as he came.
The master of the nunnery and his disciples welcomed me into the nunnery very respectfully, and I was placed in several meditation rooms in a very quiet small courtyard on the mountain behind the nunnery.
Seeing that I had arrived safely, Mr. Fox still smiled coquettishly, waving his folding fan and looking at me with a look of gloating on my misfortune.
I looked carefree and happy. I glanced at Cailing and the others who were moving things into the yard, and smiled at him in a low voice, "You made a mistake now!"
The fox boy shook his head with a smile, "Don't you think our reasons are more sufficient?"
I glared at him, the guy who was gloating about his misfortune was just looking at my joke!
He took a step towards me without mind and whispered, "An Xin Chan Sutra, no one can take it away from you, let alone commit suicide because of your inability to think about it."
Should I give him a blank look and commit suicide? Even if you look for me, you won't know it. Not everyone can be reborn. If I say it, I'll scare you to death!
Seeing that I was silent, the fox man smiled with a frivolous look on his face and said, "In addition to reciting sutras for the emperor and the queen mother every day, don't forget to recite the Sutra of Peace for me as well. If you don't get it right, you'll come to pick me up again someday."
You go back."
With a smile on my face that I thought was very charming that I had practiced countless times in front of the mirror, I replied seriously: "Yes, I will save it for you!"
Upon hearing this, he suppressed his smile and shook his head helplessly, "I won't change my ability to talk."
…
I took off my Chinese clothes and changed into a green shirt. I simply tied my hair on top of my head with a jade hairpin. I flicked the dust in my hand and looked at myself. Hey! I really smell like a fairy. Yuzhen is freshly released.
Got it!
After dinner, I asked Xu, Qingxi and Fengjin to go back to the room to rest, leaving only Cailing to wait on me.
Ever since the little girl knew that I was going to practice in the nunnery, she had lost all her energy like an eggplant beaten by frost. I understand how she felt. She lost hope and suffered a blow. It was all caused by my miserable fate.
to.
Before I could say anything to comfort her, she hurriedly closed the door and said with a puzzled look on her face: "Princess, that's unreasonable!"
I nodded appreciatively, the little girl is still very thoughtful, "Tell me about it."
She frowned and said, "In our Nanqi harem, if any concubine wants to eat fast and chant Buddha's name, she does not need to leave the palace. There is a Buddhist hall for concubines to chant sutras in a remote place in the palace. Most of the people who go there are despairing and disgraced.
Concubines, or concubines of the late emperor, I have never heard of sending concubines to practice outside the palace, and besides, you are the Princess of Yue!"
I nodded. It's not that I haven't thought about what Cailing said. This is exactly what I don't understand.
I paced back and forth in the room thinking about everything. My thoughts were fixed on what the emperor said to me when I entered the palace in April, and then I thought about Sima Jue's words and deeds to me before leaving, and what the fox servant said.
.In the flash of lightning, a thought flashed through my mind, which reminded me of Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty and Concubine Yang.
But as soon as this thought came out, I was shocked at first, and then my stomach started to churn like I had swallowed a fly. Oh my god! The emperor wouldn’t have such strong taste!
Although I admire the emperor's charm, it does not mean that I will marry an old man in his fifties in my 28th year, and I will do whatever it takes. In my heart, I actually hope that Sima Jue's promise to me will be fulfilled.
I told Cailing to pay more attention to these three people coming from the palace.
Otherwise, little girl Cailing has a bright future. She understood immediately and nodded solemnly to me, "Don't worry, princess, I will keep a close eye on them." There was a black line on my face, girl, you are already being watched, aren't you?
I know!
This is how my life of spiritual practice in the nunnery began when I was in a very depressed mood.
Mrs. Xu fully embodies a good and responsible supervisor. She placed a large pile of scriptures such as the Huayan Sutra, the Lotus Sutra, the Enlightenment Sutra, the Sixth Patriarch Altar Sutra, etc.
In the room specially used for chanting sutras, I felt dizzy looking at it. She first took a copy of the "Sixth Patriarch Altar Sutra" and asked me to kneel down in front of the Bodhisattva and chant.
I knelt down solemnly in front of the Bodhisattva, tapped the wooden fish with my hand, and opened the book with a solemn expression. Just as I was about to read, my body immediately relaxed. Damn it, uncle, what kind of crappy book is this? It's all in traditional Chinese characters, traditional Chinese characters.
Just traditional Chinese characters, arranged vertically, just vertically, without punctuation, or without punctuation, not even an illustration, it's so densely packed that it looks like it's crawling with spiders, making you dizzy.
I was so frustrated that I threw my hand into the corner as soon as I raised my hand. Before the book even hit the ground, I picked it up again like the wind.
Looking at Mrs. Xu who was standing aside with a sullen face, I bit the bullet and started to chant in a low voice. I knocked on the wooden fish and the words jumped out like a bouncing bean. There were twenty crosses in one vertical line and I guess I didn't recognize fifteen of them.
Five of them were still confused. I was sweating after reading just one line. I thought to myself why it was more headache than taking CET-4 or CET-6!
Be a human being and be honest. For the sake of the health of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, I continued to recite it bravely. I only chose the one and a half recitations that I knew. I kept on reading the first few lines. It turned out that I just kept reciting them.
I read serially. I was almost exhausted at the end of the day, but the scripture was still on the first page.
Xu's face clearly showed confusion, and her eyes were full of doubts.
I can understand, who made my body so famous? Who is known as the most talented woman in Nanqi with both talent and appearance? Who would know that she doesn’t even know the most basic words? In fact, they don’t know me, let alone me.
Write.
Well, I think a crow's mouth is a crow's mouth, because it comes from what it thinks. No, as soon as she finished muttering in her heart, Mrs. Xu sent a message to copy down what she chanted every day, and she would send it back to the palace from time to time to show it to the emperor.
I almost threw the book in her face. Why do I feel like she is deliberately making things difficult for me? Could it be that she knows that I can neither read nor write?
"What Aunt Xu said is absolutely true, and I also have the same intention. It's just that I am very weak at this time, and I am afraid that my writing is not neat enough and will stain the Queen Mother's phoenix eyes and the emperor's dragon eyes. That would be a sin. After dinner, I will
It is not rude to copy after bathing and changing clothes." I said slowly and in a tone of voice. It looked like Mrs. Xu wanted to say something more, but maybe because of my status, she moved her mouth, but she still endured it.
After dinner, I took Xu, Qingxi and Fengjin away, leaving Cailing for me to grind. I picked up the brush in a very dignified manner. I looked at the brush from left to right, turning it around in my hand, thinking about it.
