Queen's Road in the Red House

When Xin Hongcheng returned to Chonghua Palace, the lights were brightly lit everywhere.

As soon as he entered the apse, he smelled a faint scent of medicine, and sure enough, Zhou Xuanwei was pouring a bowl of brown medicine from a small purple sand pot.

Xin Hongcheng was taken aback: "Is she not feeling well? Why does she need to drink medicine?"

Zhou Huangwei shook her head: "Don't worry, you have a sore throat in autumn. If you weren't afraid of it before, now you can't use medicine because you are afraid of the wind and cold, so you have to prevent it early."

Then give the medicine to Mo Ran and she avoids it.

Although they themselves are very beautiful, but according to the rules, foreign wives are not supposed to meet the prince.Before leaving, Zhou Huangwei also asked: "For some reason, I always feel that she has something on her mind. You should ask clearly and persuade her. It is more important than anything else to relax your mind."

Seeing Xin Hongcheng nodded: "I know her heart."

Daiyu drank the medicine slowly.

Xin Hongcheng handed her candied fruit, and then poured her a cup of warm water.

Daiyu couldn't help raising her head and asked in doubt: "Where is Mo Ran them?"

Xin Hongcheng sat opposite her: "I told them to go out."

Daiyu's expression was a little nervous for no reason: "Do you have something to tell me?"

"Yes, today my father told me about accepting the side concubine." Xin Hongcheng paid attention to Daiyu's expression, and sure enough, he was not surprised when he saw her, but a kind of "finally here".

She picked up the handkerchief beside the pillow, wiped her lips and cheeks lightly, and then said softly: "What did the emperor say?"

--

Mingzheng Palace.

After Xin Hongcheng resigned, the emperor was in a trance for a moment, and then suddenly asked Qin Wu to find all the elegiac poems he had written to Empress Xiaoyi over the years.

Qin Wu hurriedly moved a sandalwood box and put it lightly on the table.

The emperor turned two pages, and suddenly said: "He was raised by me alone, can he really coax me to go?"

Qin Wu bowed his head and dared not speak.

The emperor almost said to himself: "At the age of 40, there is no way to inherit the son of Zong Zhen, and then take a concubine—he is not yet 20 years old, but he will practice Tai Chi with me, and it has dragged on for 20 years."

Qin Wu didn't dare to pretend to be dead anymore, so he could only apologize and said with a smile: "What the crown prince said is true, many masters of poetry and calligraphy have strict rules, and there is a rule that they can only accept concubines when they are forty childless, so as to avoid chaos in the house."

The emperor glanced over: "Hmph, this kid is very cunning, I know exactly what he is thinking."

--

Chonghua Palace.

Daiyu couldn't help being startled when she heard this, and looked at Xin Hongcheng under the light, her eyes like black ink did not blink for a moment.

Xin Hongcheng said: "I don't want to take a concubine at the age of 40, but now I insist that I don't want it. I'm afraid my father will anger you, thinking that you are the one who stopped me. Or maybe I'm annoyed, so I forcefully send two girls over to force me to marry you." You accept it, it is really irreversible."

Daiyu put her hand on the back of his hand: "You don't need to explain, I know your heart naturally."

This was the same as what Xin Hongcheng had just said outside, the two of them were stunned for a moment, and stayed with each other for a moment.Xin Hongcheng just smiled, and shook her hand instead: "You have something on your mind these days, probably this is it. So if the father doesn't mention it, I will go to him and talk to him, and it will solve your knot .

Daiyu hesitated to speak: She remembered that her mother was pregnant and arranged for her father to live in the room; and the aunts she saw in the Rongguo Mansion, even if they were as jealous as Sister Feng, had to let Ping'er be the roommate in order to deceive others. people.

This is always the case in the world, even if a man is not prepared to take a concubine, a woman sometimes has to be the first in order to have a decent reputation, otherwise countless rumors and rumors will flood the woman.

However, Daiyu did not speak after all.

Xin Hongcheng has already made such an effort in front of the emperor for this, even if he bears some jealous rumors, it doesn't matter.

Unexpectedly, Xin Hongcheng continued: "Don't worry, this has nothing to do with your reputation, tomorrow is the fifteenth day of this month, and it's the day when my father and I go to Baohua Hall to offer incense and pray for blessings.

I made an agreement with the mage of Baohua Palace and Qin Tianjian—anyway, we are familiar with each other once, and it is not the first time that they use astronomy to speak for me. Concubine is over.What's more, this time the father and emperor acquiesced in their hearts, and they were more than happy to talk and get money.It has nothing to do with you, it's my destiny to have no concubine. "

Daiyu raised her head to look at him, her eyes were filled with a soft and harmonious touch.

Xin Hongcheng opened his arms: "Stop thinking about it, it's all about me."

The two snuggled together for a while, then Xin Hongcheng sighed and said, "I'm going to the study now."

This was also agreed a long time ago, after all it was the first three months, everything must be careful, Zhou Huangwei could not live in the palace forever.So during the days she was here, she was allowed to stay with Daiyu day and night, and all food and drink expenses had to pass her hands before she could get close to Daiyu.

Seeing that Xin Hongcheng looked back three times at every step, and even almost bumped into Xiaoluo who was walking in, Daiyu couldn't help laughing: "Go quickly."

--

In the early morning of the next day, the Supreme Emperor suddenly sent a word that he wanted to see the prince, so the emperor went to Baohua Hall to offer incense by himself.

In the courtyard, they met Jia Baoyu who was cleaning the fallen flowers with a broom.

When he met the emperor, he only performed extravagant rituals.Seeing his aloof demeanor, the emperor remembered that the Supreme Emperor had said that Jia Baoyu had a good relationship with Buddhism, so he asked him to come in with him.

Usually, it was Qin Wu who burned incense for the emperor and the prince, and then served it to his hands. Today, the emperor asked Jia Baoyu to light three sticks of incense for him.

The emperor offering incense and praying for blessings was just a matter of saving face. He has never believed in Buddhism, so he only paid three respects to the temple full of gods and Buddhas, and then handed it over to Jia Baoyu who was standing by to put it in the incense burner.

Seeing that Jia Baoyu planted incense devoutly and behaved quietly, the emperor seemed to understand why the Supreme Emperor was willing to discuss Buddhist rituals with Jia Baoyu.

To change to another monk, at this moment, he has already spoken countless auspicious karmic words to the emperor.

After all, those who practice in the palace, where there are real eminent monks, are all monks of the royal family, who just recite the scriptures that the royal family loves to hear.

So the emperor's heart moved, and he suddenly asked: "If I want to ask for an afterlife, what should I do?"

Jia Baoyu lit three incense sticks again, and led the emperor to Maitreya Buddha: "Maitreya Buddha is the future Buddha. According to Buddhist teachings, the future is long, and there will be people who live to be [-] years old. There will never be a day when people suffer from all kinds of pain in the world."

The emperor shook his head and smiled lightly: "Eighty thousand years of life, never suffering, even I dare not expect extravagantly. I only want to pay homage to the fate of the next life."

He thought of Empress Xiaoyi in his heart, and this obeisance was extremely pious.

After the worship, the emperor stood with his hands behind his back, and suddenly asked Jia Baoyu next to him, "The words engraved on your piece of jade are 'Don't lose, don't forget, longevity and prosperity'." The smile on the emperor's lips turned cold: "Father The emperor really values ​​the Rongguo Mansion, and you don't care if such a jade falls in your family. Do you know what is written on the jade seal of Chuanguo?"

Jia Baoyu hung his head and replied: "If you are ordered by heaven, you will live forever."

The emperor stretched out his hand: "Hmph, you know. Here, bring your piece of jade and let me take a closer look."

Before he could move, Qin Wu hurriedly went to Manjusri Bodhisattva and brought a piece of jade wrapped in red brocade.Unexpectedly, after unfolding it a little bit, the inside is not a psychic gem, but an ordinary stone.

Qin Wu shook his hand, and the ordinary stone fell to the ground with a crack.

--

When Xin Hongcheng arrived, Baohua Palace was already in chaos.

The imperial guards detained a group of monks and palace servants who were working here.The emperor said angrily: "Check it out, there is actually someone in Baohua Palace stealing the sheep and stealing the sky!"

Xin Hongcheng looked at Jia Baoyu.

The shock happened suddenly, and his face was also pale, as if he had lost his soul.

However, the search turned up nothing.In fact, since Jia Baoyu cut her hair and became a monk in Baohua Hall, this piece of jade has been placed in front of Manjusri Bodhisattva, and she doesn't know when it was replaced.

The monks were full of grievances: "Your Majesty and the crown prince, please tell me that when cleaning and paying tribute in front of the gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, you are not allowed to place orders. You are not allowed to approach and stay privately on weekdays."

The main reason is that the gods and Buddhas in the Baohua Temple are all golden, so they are afraid of being scraped off the surface of the gold, so they are generally guarded tightly, and these monks really have no chance to change them secretly.

The emperor didn't believe it: "Could it be possible that a good piece of jade can really turn into a stone?"

Xin Hongcheng believed it a little bit.

Looking at Jia Baoyu again, he seemed to have lost his soul suddenly, and now he was walking this way with a smile on his face.Xin Hongcheng hurriedly stood in front of the emperor.

Jia Baoyu smiled and pointed at the emperor, "It doesn't matter who you are, you don't get what you want." The smile on his face turned to crying again: "If there is nothing, there is nothing. Past and present lives are over, everything is over. no more."

It was himself who was crying, but he was poking at the emperor's heart, and almost vomited the emperor's blood.

Xin Hongcheng hastily changed from blocking Jia Baoyu to blocking the emperor, for fear that the emperor would kill Jia Baoyu in a fit of anger: "Father, Grandfather called me this morning, saying that he was sick and bored, so that Jia Baoyu would not have to stay in Baohua Palace. Go to him and read the Dharma."

The emperor's eyes were tearing apart: "How can such a lunatic be sent to the Supreme Emperor!"

Xin Hongcheng waved at Qin Wu: "Find two strong bodyguards, and bring him to the emperor's grandfather and tell him, don't startle the holy car."

Then he persuaded the emperor: "A good person suddenly went crazy. If the emperor doesn't see it with his own eyes, he will always be suspicious."

The emperor walked away angrily.

--

Xin Hongcheng had no choice but to follow Jia Baoyu back to the Supreme Emperor, and explained what happened just now in detail.Although the Taishanghuang's eyes were not good, he could vaguely see Jia Baoyu's silhouette dancing, and repeated loudly: "It's time to go, it's time to go."

The Supreme Emperor sighed and said, "Forget it, send him back to Jia's house. It's also good to let his parents and blood relatives accompany him. I heard that his wife has also given birth to a son. Since he lost his soul, it's better to send him back to the secular world."

Xin Hongcheng thought in his heart that if Jia Baoyu was like this, he might not be willing to go home again, but he had no choice but to agree.

The Supreme Emperor deliberately kept Liu Xin Hongcheng and said: "You don't need to tell the Crown Princess about this, after all, she is a relative, so as not to surprise her with pregnancy." I'm afraid it will only be two or three months, when the time comes, the princess will only be asked to wear plain clothes, and there is no need to follow the funeral ceremony."

As soon as Xin Hongcheng received the decree to thank him, he heard the sound of the cloud board knocking repeatedly in the palace, and mourning was everywhere.

The eunuch timidly shrank in and said, "The Supreme Emperor, Concubine Zhen Gui has passed away."

Xin Hongcheng: ...Even if the Supreme Emperor is the Death Note, I'm afraid it won't be so fast.

After being surprised, he quickly stepped forward two more steps, barely supporting the Supreme Emperor, but felt that his arms were dry.

This emperor who used to fight in all directions is really old and weak.
