A few days later, the news that the emperor wanted to accept a newcomer reached the Prince's Hall, and Qi Mo sent someone back from the Great Hall of Guanghua Temple.Wang Guofu had been free for the past two days, so he carried the things up with a smile. It looked like a red sandalwood box wrapped in a jade-faced Buddhist cassock.Qi Mo opened the inspection in front of Wang Guofu, and saw that there was a scripture with a broken corner in the box.

Wang Guofu understood it, knew that it was an object that did not need to be reported, received the reward from himself and his servants, and went down gratefully.

Qi Mo flipped through the scriptures inadvertently, he didn't regard this thing as any treasure.This is a rubbing copy of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's original vows left by the first abbot of the Great Treasure Hall when he was not yet enlightened. It has been kept under the golden body of the master after his death.Although this rubbing is rare, the rare scriptures stored in the Great Treasure Hall are like crucian carp crossing the river, so it is not very valuable.

But whether it is valuable or not is not decided by others, it depends on who asks for it.Before entering the palace, the emperor's grandmother once had a relationship with the master, and entered the treasure hall several times to inquire about Buddhism.Later, many palaces competed for the heir, and the emperor's grandmother supported the new emperor for the middle palace, and she felt very uneasy.It was the master who personally invited the empress dowager to the Guanghua Temple to have a gathering, to clarify one or two things, and to enlighten the empress dowager who is suspected of being a regent.

Due to various causes and conditions, the master has passed away, presumably this rubbing is worth a lot in the emperor's grandmother's heart in the Taihe Hall.If Qi Mo hadn't experienced it for a lifetime, he must not have known that the emperor's grandmother had such a relationship with Buddhism.In order to wish the Empress Dowager a long life and a healthy life, the previous Chongyang Marquis asked the prince to accompany Su Qingsong to read this scripture.Su Qingsong had a heart-to-heart talk with Qi Mo in private, and naturally told the prince these reasons.

Qi Mo waved his hand, and Liao Xiaofu, who had been waiting by the side, stepped forward at the right time, closed the lid of the red sandalwood box with his left hand washed with clean water, and placed it in the top compartment of the storage bucket inlaid with beads.

Now Liao Xiaofu has already made a roster, and is working seriously in front of the prince. His official position has been promoted, and he serves him closely. He just feels like a dream these few days.Once he put on the smoky blue father-in-law's regular clothes, his waist was tightly bound by a black belt. Although he didn't wear makeup on his head and face, he only wore a single-color soap sarong and black silk double mound hat, which surprised Liao Xiaofu. It sets off the otherworldly fireworks a bit.

"You don't talk much, so why don't you ask your master what is the name of the scriptures here?" Qi Mo picked up a volume and leaned lazily on the couch.In the past few days, the sun was so hot that Qi Mo used his physical discomfort to shirk the big and small invitations, and he didn't even show up for the literature class. Most of the time he just rested in the Prince's Palace and carefully planned the future.It was hot in the palace, and Qi Mo only wore a comfortable shirt with the neckline slightly open, exposing his firm chest through his posture, coupled with that calm emperor's face, he had the appearance of a deadly scholar as described by storytellers.

Liao Xiaofu was startled, and buried his head, his heart beating wildly.I was purified at the age of five, and I am a person who has lost his yang potential. He has no sex and no distinction. It is a blessing to be able to win face in front of the prince.

"Returning to Your Highness, the slaves only do what they are supposed to do, and the master's affairs are not allowed to be guessed, let alone asked."

Qi Mo saw that the corner of Xiao Fuzi's mouth was pursed and his lower lip was chapped, and he knew that this was a very well-mannered little father-in-law. He would not eat, drink or relieve his hand when he was in front of the palace, so he put the scroll away.

"I'm a little thirsty, please make a cup of tea."

Liao Xiaofu responded, went to the side to hold a white jade teacup, and said, "The Dragon Armor Maofeng that I just boiled before a stick of incense is something His Highness is used to drinking. It's just right when it's warm. Your Highness has a taste."

Mao Feng was exposed in the gold-colored tea soup in Bizhong, and the aroma was like orchid. Qi Mo was very happy with Xiao Fuzi's unique care for him. "You're not bad. I've been here for less than ten days. I've figured out Gu's temper. It's much more comfortable to serve me than others. If you're gone, I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt to Gu's future."

"Back to His Royal Highness, the servant has no intention of guessing, but..."

"What's the rush? Gu didn't blame you." Qi Mo handed back the teacup, pushed it away and said, "I've been in the Prince's Palace for so long, let alone trust anyone, even if I don't have anyone to talk to. What's the matter? The prince is also a man of flesh and blood. I have seen people who are used to being polite and flattering, so they don't need to be so careless when staying with you. The prince is not a cold-blooded Rakshasa, and he wants to be warmed without defense. Thinking about it. Apart from my mother, Gu also wants to hear more from you."

Liao Xiaofu lowered his head. "This...Your Highness, I dare not."

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't want to talk to Gu Duo, I won't bully you." Qi Mo was helpless, and said with a smile: "Taste this tea for your master first, if one is not enough, try a few more."

Liao Xiaofu took the tea, thanked him, and ate the mellow tea mixed with the prince's golden words, and it melted warmly, rich and mixed with sadness.Liao Xiaofu finished drinking a glass of wine with his hands, and his heart sank. Since His Highness said he wanted to listen, he would be guilty of disrespect.

"Your Highness..." Liao Xiaofu knew that he was talking about losing his head, so he said it anyway, "Your Highness, is that scripture something His Highness ordered his reading companion, Mr. Su, to do?"

The little thing was finally willing to speak.Qi Mo felt like a cat teaser recently, trying to lure Xiao Fuzi to talk more step by step, but he was very reserved when he asked and answered.

When he was happy, Qi Mo raised his hand up, pinched Xiao Fuzi's chin and shook it again and again. "You are clever, why didn't you ask earlier? When did you guess it?"

Liao Xiaofu blushed, did His Highness touch his chin?He touched the place that Qi Mo pinched, feeling extremely ashamed and blaming himself. "His Royal Highness has only summoned Mr. Su in the past few days. Mr. Su came here on the first seven days, and came again the next day at Shenshi, just in time for the imperial doctor Mu Bai to give acupuncture to the servant's hand. When Mr. Su passed by the servant, the smell was strange. Incomparable, the same as the sandalwood on this box."

Qi Mo nodded his head and said: "You are the only slave, I will not hide it from you, this scripture is exactly what Qingsong asked for after copying the scriptures in the Great Treasure Hall for seven days, now Qingsong is afraid that he has not returned to the mansion, so he has to send the scriptures out. "

Liao Xiaofu moved behind Qi Mo to fan his fan, and asked, "The prince wants to worship Buddha? Do you want to make a Guanyin lotus flower?"

"You don't need to slap for now. You have been using golden needles for seven days in a row, and your muscles and bones have just returned to their original position. You still need to take care of them. Don't be upset if the root cause of the disease is left. A small tear mole, I'm afraid you are a crybaby. "Qi Mo pressed down his fan, let go of his black hair, took a sip of tea from the pot behind his back, and asked again, "Little Fuzi, guess who I'm going to honor?"

Liao Xiaofu sighed lowly, even though he usually spoke all kinds of lotus words, he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the prince. "Returning to Your Highness, this servant is not a crybaby. Little Fuzi is stupid and cannot guess who this His Highness wants to honor."

Well, you little slave just pretend to be stupid.Qi Mo didn't believe that he couldn't guess correctly, so he said again: "Tomorrow, if you come with Gu, you will know. Now, I am ordering the small kitchen to make some refreshing snacks. Gu is a bit hungry, so make a few more."

"Your servant obeys, let's do it now." I don't know when the crown prince was hungry, but Liao Xiaofu felt his stomach was empty, so he rushed to the small kitchen.

Taihe Hall, the empress dowager's bedroom.

A cup of red silk snow lotus soup that has not been finished is cold in the bowl. The Empress Dowager is fifty-one this year, and is carefully taken care of by four nuns.This daily breakfast is essential for nourishing the body, but today the empress dowager left it aside and put it aside.

"Yes... yes, this is the master's handwriting." The empress dowager held the scripture and persistently flipped through it from beginning to end, as if she had read into the book with her whole body.The eldest mother stepped forward to persuade her, and said: "Queen Mother, please rest, don't look too hard, you hurt your eyes if you use it carefully, let the slaves take it first, put it in the Buddhist hall and offer it with incense."

"Grandmother listen to Mammy's persuasion. If you hurt your spirit because of this scripture, then it's your grandson's fault. I thought that Grandmother would meditate on the Buddha, so I wanted to please Grandmother by getting this rubbing. Grandmother is not feeling well, so the grandson must apologize." Qi Mo and Xiao Fuzi knelt on the futon with their foreheads on the ground, saluting.

The empress dowager wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and waved her hand to let the nuns retreat. Only the grandson and his little father-in-law were left in the big front hall.

"Get up and talk." The empress dowager softened her heart and avoided the ceremony, "The Ai family has not been close to the prince in the past, what happened today? You came to please me, an old woman?"

Liao Xiaofu usually only heard that the empress dowager was quite tough, she was not an ordinary woman, but she never thought that she would be so unadorned and straightforward when talking to her grandson.

"The emperor's grandmother was wrong. The grandson is indeed not close to the emperor's grandmother, but it's not that he doesn't want to. If you don't believe me, you can look around the world. Has grandma ever seen who her grandson has gotten close to? The grandson has a cold temper, but his blood is thick Yu Shui naturally misses the imperial grandmother in her heart."

Qi Mo sat upright, clenched his fists tightly, as if he wanted to be hot with his grandmother but couldn't do it.In the past, Liao Xiaofu only thought that the prince would not fight, but he did not expect that if he really wanted to fight, he would be so superb that he was willing to lose face.

He must have suffered a lot in the palace.

"Your child is like this. It's not that the Ai family doesn't like you as a grandson. It's just that the Ai family doesn't like a prince like you." The empress dowager was sitting majesticly, with a total of nine golden steps of the phoenix dancing nine dynasties. One of them is used.

"Remember, grandson." Qi Mo lowered his head, moved his lips, and stopped talking.

"I heard that the emperor wants to accept a newcomer, the crown prince and the eldest prince have gone to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to persuade them?" The scripture was placed on Wujin's couch, but the queen mother kept looking at it.

Qi Mo stood up and said: "Go back to the emperor's grandmother, the grandson did persuade the father."

"Oh? What did the prince say?"

"The grandson told the emperor that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics." How could Qi Mo not understand the pros and cons, there must be the Queen Mother's ears in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and lying will never work.

"With such persuasion, the prince can come to please the grandmother of the Ai family? It's really a joke." The Empress Dowager sneered, and the Taihe Hall was a bit cold for a while.

"Grandmother, please listen to my grandson's defense. It is indeed my grandson who said these outrageous words, but my grandson's heart is completely towards my grandma. My father has never liked my son. Even if my grandson wants to persuade me, it will be useless! Big brother He is the eldest son, and he has been persuading his father to agree with his grandmother. Even Concubine Wu is worried, and if his grandson also persuades him...Mother and son are connected, the emperor is the grandmother's flesh and blood, and everything is under the emperor's grandmother. It's not that Grandmother doesn't know her temperament, she must be annoyed immediately, and suppress this matter severely, and don't mention it again in a few years!"

Seeing that the Queen Mother didn't reply, Qi Mo boldly continued: "As the crown prince, my grandson also wants to have many royal heirs, and a few more brothers and sisters. Children speak freely, and children are cuter than us. A few obedient ones who are crowned can make the emperor's grandmother happy. But... but the grandson's status is embarrassing, and he can't be compared with his elder brother. He can only speak for the emperor's grandmother with his reputation of disobedience. In the end, he also won the father's favor. Punishment, the emperor is filial, the grandson has read Mencius for seven days in the Prince's Palace all night, and today he only took a step, and I hope grandma will learn from her!"

The prince has never been favored, and the emperor does not like it. The empress dowager knows this.Earlier, people from the Hall of Mental Cultivation sent a message, verbatim, hearing that this grandson was so bold, the nuns were so angry that they tore a few veils, only the empress dowager's Linglong heart had changed. idea.The prince is abnormal, should he sell himself again?As soon as it sounds like this, that's it.

"Blood is thicker than water. The Ai family is not that old and foolish woman. You have been punished after studying hard for seven days. You must not say this again, otherwise the Ai family will not be able to keep you." The ancient scriptures were touched repeatedly.The prince's words were not condescending, but after all, the emperor followed his own wishes, presumably there must be a bit of the prince's hard work.

And this scripture, like a corner of a green skirt and a plain hand burning incense, lifted the empress dowager's calm state of mind.The empress dowager looked directly at the prince and asked, "How did you get this scripture?"

Qi Mo replied: "To the emperor's grandmother, the origin of this scripture is..."

"Wait a minute, the Ai family won't listen to you." The queen mother's eyes flashed past Qi Mo, and the armor of the purple gold carved peony slipped, pointing to Liao Xiaofu's face neatly, "Let this little servant say, the prince should not take it." A lot of words. The Ai family wants to hear the truth about the scriptures."
