calm to light

"It's been a long time since I paid my respects to the empress, and the empress is still magnificent." I looked at their gorgeous attire, they didn't look like believers who were going to the Buddhist Pure Land at all, but I felt that it was a bit serious for me to dress plainly and elegantly. Yes, but I don't know if they are intentional or unintentional. They are so beautiful, as if they are going to show off.

"I thought Concubine Ru would lose weight, but I didn't want her complexion to remain the same. It's just a pity for these scars." The distressed words of the queen made me feel a little flattered, touching my face, I can vaguely feel that the face is not the same as before. I thought the scar was very shallow, so I covered it with a little makeup, but I didn't want the queen to be so sharp-eyed.

"It's been so many days, and it's not getting better?" The queen's care is always just right, she can not only ask what she wants to know, but also make people feel that she has good intentions.

"There is an old and decrepit face on the left and right, but I didn't take care of it very much," I didn't mind it at all, and it was because of my randomness that I didn't smear my face with one kind and one kind as Chen Shi said. plaster.Thinking about it now, it was too bad that it was useless at the beginning, otherwise the queen would not be suspicious. How can a concubine who annoyed the emperor and was grounded by the emperor get a good plaster for removing the scars?

"You are underestimating yourself. After all, you were negligent when you were injured. You just need to pay attention to it in the future." After the queen said this, she got on her phoenix chariot, and Qi Guiren turned up, no, it should be It is right to call her Qi Concubine, she followed the queen's words, and apologized to me half-truthfully, "It's all my sister's fault, the sister who caused it was punished by the emperor, and her appearance was damaged."

One and two of them grabbed my face and talked, so I couldn't help turning my head and whispering to Ju Qing who was beside me, "Is the scar on my face obvious?" I clearly remembered that I used makeup to cover it up when I went out. Could it be that my makeup skills have regressed?

Ju Qing is also cute, and she answered me solemnly, "It's a scar that can only be touched, they came prepared." Such an answer made me laugh, and when I turned around, I looked at Concubine Qi with a sad expression , I actually snubbed the upstarts invisibly.

Putting on a perfect smile indifferently, "Qibi thinks too much, it's not your fault."

"Although I said so, my sister still feels guilty. My sister happens to have some ointment that is extremely effective in removing scars. How about sending it to my sister some other day?"

"Concubine Qi has a heart. After all, you are the emperor's new favorite. You don't need anything. Maybe there will be a time when you don't need it. You should keep it for yourself." I admit, what I said was true. It's not very tactful, so Qipin's expression as if her hair is fried is also reasonable to me. She may also wonder why I am so presumptuous, and I was still grounded not long ago.

"Concubine Qi's necklace is really beautiful, but it was rewarded by the emperor?" I suddenly changed the subject, so that she didn't lose her temper immediately, and continued to deal with me in a good temper, "This ruby ​​necklace is a gift from the empress, even if my sister likes it, This palace will not cut love either."

"No, the smell of this necklace is very offensive. I don't like it. My sister should keep it for herself." I continued to criticize very shamelessly, "It's a shame that my sister has a heart, but she just puts such a strong smell every day. Hanging on the body, I'm not afraid of hurting my body, even if it doesn't hurt my body, it's not good to run into the Holy Majesty." God knows, I have good intentions, and I plan for her health.

"You! An Lingrong, don't bully me too much!" After all, she was young and couldn't help being angry.

"I don't know when Concubine Qi has the right to call me by her name?" It's really comfortable to take off her mask.

"You are just an unfavorable concubine, and I am worthy of your sister when I give you face!" She looked down on me, "I don't even think about why you were grounded a few days ago. Aren’t the wounds on your body long enough for you to remember?”

"Presumptuous!" I don't need to speak now, the person in the phoenix chariot couldn't sit still anymore, and the majestic voice came directly towards Qi Concubine, making her restrain herself immediately, "Qi Concubine, don't let me be so arrogant It's good to be proud!" Qi concubine thought that the queen would reprimand me a few words, after all, I didn't shy away from what I said just now, the queen must have heard it, but she didn't want the queen to just reprimand her and make her feel wronged.

"Do you want to know why the queen is like this?" Just as she walked past me angrily, I said nonchalantly, as expected, I heard her voice stop and met her glaring eyes, " No matter how poor this palace is, I am still a concubine, and the only one who can dictate to her is the empress, Concubine Qi, if you want to be another Hua concubine, the empress will not annoy you."

When I say this, I don't care whether Qipin accepts it or not, I just want to create a rift between Qipin and the queen.

When I first arrived at Ganlu Temple, a group of nuns were waiting outside. At first glance, they were all peaceful people. There was only one, who took time to peek at us irregularly. I caught him and bowed his head in panic. , but raised his head again after a while, not at all like the image of Nizi I imagined.

Nizi's name is Jingbai, and she is indeed the restless host. Instead of the honest host, she answers the queen's questions. Her average flattering method makes the queen frown, and it makes me find it funny.

"Concubine Ru, what are you laughing at?" The queen inevitably asked me with her sharp ears.

"The concubine is just curious. There are all kinds of nuns in this Ganlu Temple. Like this Mrs. Jingbai, she can be regarded as a person." After all, he is only an ambitious person, and he can't hear the praise and criticism in my words. , but because of being nominated, he was flattered and confused.

"Queen, don't blame your ministers and concubines for being troublesome. Buddhism is pure, such a person who doesn't understand the rules, it's better to get rid of it early!" It was only here that she understood what I meant, and she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and trembled. And the queen is not as good at Jingbai as I am. In addition to the host's begging for mercy, it is a small punishment and a big punishment. It's just that even if she is favored, it is only a light punishment, but Jingbai still dares to mumble The mouth was not happy, "This teacher is more arrogant than some of the young masters in the palace, and the pouting is also pretty."

"Okay, Concubine Ru, today's main purpose is to pray for blessings, and the matter of disciplining the servants should also be handed over to the host." The queen finally spoke, but it also meant that the teacher should discipline Jing Bai well. My goal has been achieved, "You What happened today, so thorny?"

"Empress, do you like Zhen Huan's life here better or worse?" Among the group of people, I am the only one in the concubine position, so I am the only one following behind the queen. She heard it.

"What do you mean by that?"

"I do hope that Zhen Huan's life in Ganlu Temple will be better. When life is better, she will naturally be able to concentrate on practicing Buddhism."

"Heh," the queen just smiled back at me, and the meaning of disapproval was natural.

But I continued my statement, "Now that I see Jingbai, I feel that Zhen Huan's life will be difficult. To put it in an ugly saying, a dog jumps over the wall in a hurry. If she cries to the extreme, isn't she going to die and live?"

"Is this why you dealt with Nanizi?" The queen stopped and turned to look at me, "Concubine Ru, you are too superficial. People only expect things that they shouldn't think about when they are living a good life."

"But the concubine Guan in the past was not an ordinary person. Didn't the queen notice her decision that day?" Besides, Zhen Huan's decision was not made by the queen alone. Replacement."

"You really know a lot." The queen talked about other things, and then looked at me vigilantly, "I really underestimated you."

"The concubine is not talented, but at least she has been in the palace for many years, and she has served the queen mother for a while, so she naturally knows what she should know." The purpose of moving out the queen mother is to prevent the queen from guessing, and she will not ask the queen mother about her Didn't tell me anything about the harem secrets, once and for all.

In the lobby, when the Concubine Guan, who used to be the most beloved in the harem, was humiliated by Concubine Qi and appeared in front of everyone in the most humble way, I saw the smile flickering from the corner of the Queen's mouth. , she likes to hear and see, so she didn't prevent Qi Concubine from making things difficult for her, and when I looked at such a humble Zhen Huan, I only had forbearance but no ambition in my eyes. Your majesty, can Zhen Huan like this still enter the palace to compete with the queen?

It's just that Concubine Qi's behavior of throwing stones into the well is somewhat distasteful, "Concubine Qi, it would be too disrespectful for a concubine of you to care about someone who is a pure cultivator."

"Concubine Qi is indeed out of status, but Mochou is indeed against the rules. Concubine Ru should not be sideways." The queen meant that she would not make Zhen Huan feel better, or that the queen was telling the people of Ganlu Temple not to call Zhen Huan better off.

"Although Mochou is a member of Ganlu Temple now, she was also a member of the palace before. As the saying goes, if Mochou is insulted here, does it mean that everyone in the harem has been neglected?" Anyway, she is also the Emperor's woman. "No matter what, the people in the palace cannot be spoiled by others."

"Concubine Ru's words are biased. A Buddhist general believes that all living beings are equal. Since he is a pure cultivator, he will not spoil it." The queen waved a thousand catties, but still did not let go.

"Since all living beings are equal, why don't you worry about suffering and suffering alone, while the nun next to you is full of rosy faces. This will confuse the courtiers and concubines."

"I didn't realize that Concubine Ru also has a clever mouth," the queen and others teased, but looked at me coldly, "It's not inferior to Concubine Wan back then."

"The empress is overrated." She gave Ju Qing a look, signaling her to help Zhen Huan, who was kneeling on the ground with a pale face, but the empress didn't say anything, just looked at me, and said inexplicably, "Ben Gong But I didn't lift you up."

"Let's go, don't delay important things because of unnecessary people." The queen spoke, and naturally she stopped staring at Zhen Huan once everyone obeyed her orders, and Ju Qing cleverly recruited a few honest nuns, Zhen Huan helped her down first, it's not that I didn't see Zhen Huan's grateful gaze, I just pretended I didn't see it, and followed the queen away.
