Shu Jin met Ning Guiren again in the summer of the seventh year of Emperor Yongzheng's reign. The heat was unbearable and there were floods in the south. The emperor had not been in the harem for a long time, so Shu Jin was at ease.
In the early morning of this day, he and Concubine Mao went to Wanfang'an and asked the Queen Mother to be well, and then went to Ciyun Puhu to offer incense. Shu Jin did not believe in Buddhism, but Concubine Mao had this belief, and in addition to the With the third princess, I went up to pray for my daughter's health and happiness.
Shu Jin had nothing to do, so he went with her.
Ciyun Puhu is located on the north bank of Houhu Lake. It has towering ancient trees and hanging wisteria trellises, which makes it cool and pleasant. Walking to the outside of the main hall, Guanyin Hall, I saw a slender figure in the hall, kowtowing and worshiping, looking very pious.
Entering the palace, the woman hurriedly stood up, bowed her knees to Shu Jin and Concubine Mao, and said, "I have seen the imperial concubine and concubine Mao."
Shu Jin took a closer look and was a little surprised: "Ning Guiren?"
After not seeing each other for several months, Ning Guiren has not only become much slender, but his face has also returned to white and smooth. Compared with the delicate and pretty face before, it is now a bit more charming and charming.
Concubine Mao glanced at the three pillars of fragrant incense burning on the Buddhist niche and asked, "What is Mr. Ning doing here?" - Since you don't have love, you can't ask for a child, right?
Ning Guiren's charming face showed a sad look: "Concubine... I just came to pray for the eighth prince."
Concubine Mao covered her mouth with a handkerchief. Now she has a motherly heart! Unfortunately, it was too late.
Shu Jin also said lightly: "I'm determined."
Ning Guiren's eyes turned red, and she said sadly: "I know that I am not worthy to say this in front of the imperial concubine. But I really regret it. I can see my eighth prince crying every night... "
"Okay." Shu Jin was a little impatient. Although Ning Guiren didn't seem to be hypocritical, Shu Jin was not interested in hearing this. "The Eighth Prince is in Concubine Dun's lap. It's fine."
Ning Guiren couldn't help but choked, feeling sad but also filled with hatred. That was her child! Even if she cries now, she will only be in Concubine Dun's arms. How heartbreaking is this?!
Ning Guiren wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "I made mistakes and should be punished. But Concubine Dun did evil, why is there no retribution? God is so unfair."
It has nothing to do with God. The emperor has the final say in this palace. Even if it is unfair, it is still unfair to the emperor.
"How can you get justice if you blame everyone so much?" Shu Jin asked with a smile.
Ning Guiren bit her thin lips tightly, "It's my concubine who is incompetent." - So far, she has been unable to regain her favor. She can only watch Concubine Dun occupying her flesh and blood, but she can't even take a look!
Shu Jin let out a long breath and said, "You are now a member of Concubine Xi's palace, so you don't need to tell me these things."
Ning Guiren said with tears: "I know that the empress is a noble person, so she looks down on people like me. I am ashamed of myself."
Saying that, Mr. Ning Guiren blessed his body and said, "Concubine, please retire."
The beauty left with tears in her eyes, but Concubine Mao couldn't help but spat, "It's too late to realize my regrets now!"
Shu Jin smiled and said, "Okay, don't you want to offer incense and pray for blessings?"
Only then did Concubine Mao stop being mean, and hurriedly tidied up her appearance, kowtowed repeatedly in front of the Buddha, prayed endlessly, and finally enshrined the Buddhist scriptures she had copied on the altar.
"Concubine, come and take a look, there is a Buddhist scripture here!" Concubine Mao also arrived at the Buddhist niche and found a thick scripture behind the incense burner.
Shu Jin said: "Eighty percent of it was left by Ning Guiren."
Concubine Mao picked it up at random, and opened it, but it was better not to open it, but when she opened it, there was a piece of blood-red writing! Concubine Mao was startled, and with a crash, the thick piece of blood fell to the ground.
Shu Jin also saw it really well and couldn't help but frown, Ning Guiren actually copied the blood menstruation?! Then he stepped forward, picked up the blood menstruation, closed it, and put it back in its original position.
Concubine Mao patted her chest, "Is this Ning Guiren deliberately trying to scare me?"
Shu Jin smiled: "I was hiding behind the incense burner. How did I expect you to be so sharp-eyed?"
Concubine Mao's eyebrows sank, "I think she is a demon! What's the use of all these things? Could it be that when the Bodhisattva sees her, she can ask the Eighth Prince to come back to her?"
Shu Jin carefully stuffed the blood meridian behind the incense burner and said, "Don't pay attention to it."
Concubine Mao suddenly changed her mind and said, "Say, if Concubine Dun knew about it..."
Shu Jin was speechless for a while, did he do this again?
But it’s still a good way to stimulate the little rice cakes.
Little Nian Gao now regards Ba Age as a fish-eye ball, and no one else can take a second look. If she knew that Ning Guiren had copied the blood scriptures of Ba Age to pray for blessings, I am afraid that Concubine Dun would not only not have mercy on Ning Guiren's motherly heart, but
They also think that Ning Guiren is deliberately fighting.
"It's up to you." Shu Jin smiled lightly.
Concubine Mao pursed her lips and smiled, "Leave this matter to me, just wait and watch the show."
A few days later, rumors spread in the garden that Ning Guiren copied the Blood Sutra and secretly enshrined it in the Ciyun Puhu main hall. It was said that this would impress the Bodhisattva and allow her to reunite with her Eighth Prince.
It was about Eighth Prince, so naturally word spread to Little Nian Gao’s ears very quickly.
Normal people don't need to pay attention to this kind of thing.
The Bodhisattva is just a clay sculpture. If he could really have such abilities, then the women in the harem would not need to fight for favor to please the emperor, they would just need to please the Bodhisattva.
But how can Xiao Nian Gao allow anyone to miss the eighth elder brother? He immediately went straight to Ciyun Puhu angrily, came for a big search, turned the whole Ciyun Puhu upside down, and then found the tightly hidden book behind the incense burner.
of blood menstruation.
The little rice cake was so angry that it was said to be burned on the spot.
With such great fanfare, it was immediately spread throughout the harem.
Immediately, rumors started to spread that Concubine Dun was so disrespectful to the Bodhisattva by conducting such a thorough search and burning Buddhist scriptures in front of the Bodhisattva!
When Ning Guiren heard about this, he was said to be very sad and fell ill immediately.
I don't know if it is a real illness or a fake illness.
"Send an imperial doctor to take a look at her." Shu Jin casually gave instructions while handling palace affairs.
In the evening, the imperial doctor wrote back. Mr. Ning Gui was really ill. It was said that he suddenly fell ill because of a lack of Qi and blood, as well as worry and anger.
Oh, the co-author has done too much bloodletting.
Ning Guiren is already weak after giving birth, how can she withstand the consumption of menstrual blood? This is simply not taking physical health seriously.
Lan Ruo looked thoughtful and said, "My dear, I'm looking at you, this Ning Guiren... I'm afraid he did it deliberately."
Shu Jin smiled and said, "Whether it's intentional or not, what's the problem with me?" - Little Nian Gao was so proud that he needed someone to step in and check him. Ning Guiren was willing to spend a lot of money, so why not let her go with the flow?
Aunt Lanruo frowned and said, "Ning Guiren looks so cute, but he never imagined that he could be so cruel to her!"
People who are cruel to themselves will only be more cruel to others.
I just don't know whether Ning Guiren came up with this trick himself or whether it was taught by Concubine Xi.
Forget it, this is not important.
The important thing is that Yongzheng believed in Buddhism, so this trick... will definitely work.
