Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

Yingluo knew about Pudawa's life experience, and recalled how she treated Doro at the Changchun Pharmacy, and understood why Aisha had to hide from Pudawa that she had already stopped taking the medicine, and why Aisha came to the pharmacy to do things , she originally did not understand the language, did not like restraint, and was very rich, but came to the pharmacy to do simple work silently, in fact, both of them wanted to help the public.Seeing that he and his wife are so low-key, I am even more respectful in my heart, as expected, I am worthy of the eminent monk and holy mother of Buddhism.

Suddenly I thought of the statue of Tathagata, the king of medicine, which was enshrined in the main hall of the pharmacy in Changchun.Medicine King Tathagata is Medicine Buddha Master, whose full name is Medicine Master Liuliguang Tathagata.According to the Buddhist scriptures, he is the leader of the eastern glazed land.According to legend, when he became a Buddha, he made twelve vows, wishing to eliminate the suffering of all sentient beings, cure unknown chronic diseases, and make all sentient beings physically and mentally happy.Because the Medicine Buddha can cure all kinds of diseases, relieve all kinds of stubborn diseases and pains, eliminate disasters and prolong life, so all social classes in history have a strong belief in Medicine Buddha.

Changchun|The portrait in the pharmacy is an ancient relic from the Five Dynasties period in the Fucha Mansion. It was originally Rong Yin's favorite.The pharmacist Buddha above sits on a lotus throne in lotus lotus, with green field red flowers and monk branches inside, and a red cassock of field appearance on the outside.The left hand holds a medicine bowl, and the right hand holds two tin rods with six rings.There is body light and head light behind.The clusters of flowers in the background are outlined in layers of light red, purple, black, green and other colors.It makes people feel sympathetic and compassionate at a glance.

There is also a celadon porcelain statue of Shennong in the pharmacy hall.Shennong is the "Emperor of the Earth" of the "Three Emperors". He tasted all kinds of herbs, detoxified and helped the world. He is the god of agriculture and medicine in China.Shennong is also revered as the ancestor of medicine. He tasted herbs, invented medicines and taught people to cure diseases.Later generations said that Shennong's exquisite jade body could see his lungs, liver and five internal organs, so he could detoxify all kinds of poisons. It is also said that he died because he tasted the heartbroken grass and could not detoxify it.

Shennong is enshrined in many pharmacies, but the one in Changchun | Pharmacy was custom-made by Fu Heng in Longquan Kiln.Located in Longquan, Zhejiang Province, Longquan Kiln is famous for firing celadon. It rose in the Five Dynasties and declined in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Now the emperor has allocated some funds to provide some support.Since ancient times, celadon wares have been highly valued, and the celadon fired in Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty has long enjoyed a high reputation.The glaze color is mainly pink green and plum green, and the enamel is rich and moist like jade. Its firing technology is the pinnacle of celadon firing technology at that time.The glaze color of Longquan kiln has always been admired by people, and the softness of plum green and pink green is cherished by the world. This blue color comes from nature, like ice jade, and has a smooth touch. Rong Yin also liked it when he was alive.

The celadon statue in the pharmacy is nine inches high. Shennong is sitting upright and resting, with a wide forehead and high nose, round face, half-open eyes, looking up to the front, wearing a loose coat with smooth folds, clear and strong torso muscles, slightly raised right hand Whip, a medicine basket in his left hand, bare|bare feet, a pensive look, not at all rigid, full of folk and secular sentiments, giving people a sense of amiability.

Doctor Ye is amiable at first glance, understands people's sufferings, and teaches people to trust, while the French king and his wife are cold and solemn on the outside, but they both have a benevolent heart!There is also the father of the Karmapa, who was the previous Karmapa... How gratifying it would be if the empress sister knew about it!Thinking of this, Yingluo smiled slightly.

Ye Tianshi was overjoyed, and then he often consulted Pudawa about Tibetan medicine.When he was in Jinchuan, Pudawa had already given Ye Tianshi the antidote prescription of Linzhi powder. Ye Tianshi saw these rare medicinal materials when he visited the drug store in the museum. Fu Heng said that he would purchase them from the local area and transport them to Changfang in the capital.

But the last step in preparing the Linzhi powder antidote is to seal the mixed medicine powder with the cold air of Lianhua Jiabo for ten days, so this medicine cannot be made without Pudawa. Only the eighth layer of Hua Jiabo can make the antidote of Lingzhi powder. Even if the former Dharma King of Huangjiao obtained the prescription, he could not prepare this antidote because he did not practice Lianhua Jiabo.Moreover, the poisoned person still needs Lianhua Gyalpo's internal force to push the palace and activate the blood to completely eliminate the poison, just like Doro that day.After listening to the lecture, Aisha felt even more that she wanted to give birth to a virgin boy to conquer the ninth floor of Lianhua Gyalpo.Putawa taught her not to think too much.

All the way to the northwest, the Qilian Mountains connected to the grassland are still covered in silver, but the grassland is covered with blue waves, and horses, cattle, and sheep are dotted like gems.At dusk that day, a caravan of camels came across, and there was a singing voice floating inside. The song turned out to be in Chinese, and they sang——

The beautiful grassland is my home, the wind blows green grass and flowers everywhere

Colorful butterflies fly and hundreds of birds sing, a bend of clear water reflects the sunset

Distinguished guest, stop and rest your feet!

Don't you linger on such beautiful scenery?

Don't you linger on such beautiful scenery?

After bypassing the Qilian Mountains, they entered the Gobi desert in Huijiang.The weather is already very warm, and the journey has gone much smoother. Fu Heng expects to arrive in Yili in [-] days.

Concubine Rong received the letter Yingluo wrote to her in Jinchuan, and she immediately went to read the letter to the emperor.The emperor smiled and said nothing.Li Yu knew that it was inconvenient for Yingluo to write to the emperor, and after Concubine Rong left, she comforted the emperor, saying that Mrs. Nalan had always carried the monogram.The emperor looked at him and said: I always feel that they will not be so peaceful in Jinchuan, she just doesn't write.The papers that Fu Heng sent back also reported good news but not bad news, and they were all about gold mining affairs.Li Yudao: Then you mean to find someone to ask?The emperor thought for a while, and said: "Let Liu Tongxun send a letter to ask Kaitai, governor of Sichuan, what happened to Jinchuan recently, but he is not allowed to say anything."Li Yudao: "Yes, the servant understands."

Not long after Li Yu left, Desheng came to report that the queen was outside, please see the emperor.The emperor is a bit strange, but called Chuan.After Nala came in and greeted the emperor, the emperor looked at her and said softly: "What's the matter with the queen?"Nala's heart felt sour, the emperor would not see him if nothing happened?He said: The concubine knows that the emperor likes to eat glutinous rice balls with five kernels and rice cakes with glutinous rice. Recently someone recommended them. Chengqian Palace has a new chef who can do both of them very well, especially rice cakes with glutinous rice. I'm not satisfied with it, so I ask the emperor to take the time to go to the concubine to have a taste.The emperor looked at her and said: Okay, when is it convenient for the empress?Nala said: "It's convenient for ministers and concubines, tomorrow night?"The emperor said: "I have already arranged for tomorrow night, let's go at noon."Nala hurriedly said: Yes, the concubine will welcome the emperor when the time comes.

After Nala's family left, Li Yu came in from the outside to reply to the order, saying that he had told Liu Tongxun and asked him to send him eight hundred miles urgently, the emperor nodded.Desheng asked from the side, "Your Majesty, isn't that the glutinous rice cake that the former empress loved to eat?"How can the empress say it's you?The emperor looked outside the door and said: She said that because she didn't want me to refuse.Li Yu met the queen outside, so he exchanged a glance with Desheng, and silently stepped aside.Because the emperor was in a bad mood, he hadn't set foot in Chengqian Palace for a month. Mrs. Nala came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation several times to personally deliver the soup and return to important palace affairs.Suddenly I heard the emperor say: Tonight, I will turn over the sign of the concubine Ling.Li Yu quickly agreed.

Jiugege was given the name Zhaoyu, and she was out of confinement early at this time, so Wei Mei also resumed bedtime early in the morning.She felt that since she gave birth to Jiugege, the emperor had gotten closer to her. Tonight was the fourth time she had turned over her sign this month. She was very happy and immediately made preparations.After the emperor arrived at Chuxiu Palace, she helped him change clothes, eat tea, and play chess.Then we had dinner together, played the piano, looked at paintings, and still looked at the "Autumn Colors of Magpies and Blossoms" copied by her.Li Yu watched from the side, feeling in his heart that it was all because the emperor missed Mrs. Nalan.

After lying on the bed, Wei Mei turned off the light, hugged the emperor, and the emperor embraced her. Seeing that he was not interested in being intimate, Wei Mei said softly: "Your Majesty, Wei Mei is in good health. When do you think you will start to assist her?" Palace affairs, sharing worries for you and the queen mother?The emperor murmured and was speechless.Wei Mei then said again: Fifth prince's daughter Zhe Zhe and Zhao Yu look a bit alike, has the emperor seen it?The emperor said: I have seen it, but I don't remember it.Wei Mei asked how Concubine Rong was doing, and the emperor replied a few words. Seeing that he was not in high spirits, Wei Mei seemed to be out of his mind, so she stopped talking.

Sleeping in the middle of the night, it rained heavily outside the window, and the rain hit the glass window with a crackling sound, which woke Wei Mei up, and she got up to check the window.When she walked back to the bed and was about to go to bed, she heard the emperor mutter something, but she didn't hear clearly, so she went to bed by herself.The emperor turned sideways and held her in his arms, and she became happy, and she was no longer sleepy.After an unknown amount of time, I heard the emperor whisper: Ying Luo.

She had never heard of these two words, but she knew it should be a person's name, but she didn't know who it was.Feeling sleepy, just about to go to sleep, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, thinking that this must be the name of the former concubine Ling!Because the first empress was called Rongyin, and according to what Madam Nalan said, the emperor still liked the former concubine Ling, and that's how his own Lingzi came about.And no one in this palace mentioned the previous concubine Ling, so she never knew her name, only that she was also surnamed Wei.She felt a sudden embarrassment in her heart, although she already understood that she entered the palace because of the former concubine Ling, but she had never thought about this issue carefully, because she didn't really care about it, and the concubine Ling had passed away for a long time.

Just as she was thinking this way, the emperor said two more words: sinking the wall.She stared blankly at the emperor.

After a while, she saw that the emperor was breathing heavily and fell asleep again, so she got up quietly, put on her clothes, and went outside to look for Li Yu.Li Yu was taking a nap, but when the door opened, he woke up with a start. Seeing that it was Wei Mei, he said, "Master, what do you need?"Wei Mei said: I have something to ask Manager Li.The two went to sit on the couch in the outer room, and Wei Mei asked the concubine Ling if her name was Wei Yingluo.Li Yu remained silent.Wei Mei then said that the name was called by the emperor himself just now.Li Yu looked at her and said: Madam, don't ask, and don't ask the emperor, the servant is for your own good.

Wei Mei said: Why?Li Yudao: "The emperor's old affairs should be mentioned less, and the former empress should also be mentioned less, you understand."Knowing that he was talking about the day he first met the emperor, Wei Mei said: But the emperor himself seems to always mention the empress first.Li Yu still looked at her and said: "It's okay for the emperor to mention it, don't mention it, don't make the emperor sad, just remember what the servant said."Wei Mei remained silent.Li Yu said again: Master, the emperor values ​​you now, so just listen to the emperor and don't think too much about it.Wei Mei asked again: Sister Concubine Rong knows about the Concubine Ling in front, right?Li Yudao: "This slave doesn't know. According to the slave, don't mention the past again."You know that the palace is not allowed to mention the former concubine Ling, right? The emperor issued a strict decree.Wei Mei nodded and said: Thank you, Director Li.

That night, Wei Mei could no longer sleep.At noon on the second day, the emperor received an imperial decree, asking Concubine Ling to assist the queen in managing the affairs of the six palaces from now on.She went to meet the queen in the afternoon.Nala was in a very good mood, and told her a few words, only saying that she would come back to him after a major event, and for the rest, just tell Sun Fang, the head of the respect room.She said yes.When Zhen'er sent her out, she told her that the emperor's lunch was only served here. She understood the empress's happy eyebrows just now, and hurriedly said: "The empress is virtuous and fair. She has managed the six palaces for many years. The emperor values ​​it very much. Wei Mei Very respectful.Zhen'er smiled and said, "Let the concubine go away!"

At the same time, Li Yu told Concubine Rong what Wei Mei asked him last night.Concubine Rong felt very surprised, but seeing his worried face, she smiled and comforted him, saying: Don't worry, it's fine.Li Yudao: Madam, this servant knows that you are on good terms with the emperor, and you respect your status, but the emperor has been in a bad mood recently, and the servants are having a hard time, so you can count yourself as a favor to the servant and go to accompany the emperor.Concubine Rong smiled again and said: Doesn't he like Wei Mei to accompany him?After hearing this, Li Yu felt that Concubine Rong was angry, and said, "You don't understand, he can't say anything to Concubine Ling."Concubine Rong laughed again: Then where does he still like to go?

Li Yugang was about to answer, Caiyun came in and said, "My lady, the imperial concubine has something to ask you to show me."Concubine Rong then looked at Li Yu and said: "You go back, I understand, when I see her first, I will go to see the emperor."Seeing that she agreed, Li Yu was very happy to go.When he was young, Wei Mei came in and said that he was now assisting the palace affairs and wanted to discuss everything with her.Concubine Rong looked at her and said, "Sister, you can make up your own mind, don't ask me."Wei Mei said: This is what the emperor meant.Concubine Rong just shook her head, and said with a smile: My sister also knows that I have no free time.Wei Mei said: "Sister, please ask the emperor again, Wei Mei dare not be good at it."

Concubine Rong said: "Sister, have you gone to see the Queen Mother?"You should ask her to show her more, the emperor will listen to what the emperor's mother said.Seeing that she was smiling but not smiling, there was a special look in her eyes, Concubine Rong nodded her head and said: "Sister, go and handle the emperor's business well, don't disappoint the emperor."Seeing that she didn't hold any grudges, Wei Mei admired her, and said, "Sister Concubine Rong, last night, the emperor called my sister's name in a dream.Concubine Rong raised her head, looked at Wei Mei and smiled.For some reason, Wei Mei blurted out, saying: He also called the former Concubine Ling by name.Concubine Rong didn't know what to say for a while, Wei Mei asked again: Her name is Wei Yingluo, right?

Concubine Rong saw her grievance and tears in her eyes, she couldn't bear it, it seemed that what Li Yu said was right, she had to take care of the emperor, originally she just thought that the emperor should be quiet, he wanted Madam Nalan, Then he thought it over, and said: "Sister, don't think about it, go to see the Queen's mother, don't mention these things, old things in the palace are not allowed to be mentioned."I'll go see you later.Wei Mei agreed, thanked her and left.Caiyun came up and asked: Your Majesty, why is Concubine Ling full of grievances? What's going on?Concubine Rong smiled and said: "The emperor has such a temper, let's go, let's go and have a look."

The emperor was critiquing papers in his study room when he suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance. He was overjoyed, raised his head, and hugged Concubine Rong. He saw that she was wearing a red mandarin jacket with a golden narcissus pattern, braided braids, and no headgear. , very refreshing, and even more joyful in my heart, and asked: How did you come?Li Yu was also very happy to see it.Concubine Rong smiled and said: Your Majesty, I want you to see Yong Qi's daughter again, and it won't be easy to see her after they leave the palace.The emperor said: Good.Concubine Rong then looked at Caiyun.Caiyun went outside to announce the nanny to come in, and then hugged Zhezhe to Concubine Rong. The emperor looked at the girl, remembering that Wei Mei said she looked like Zhaoyu last night, so he took a closer look. Son like, so I told Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong said with a smile: Aunt and nephew are a family.Your Majesty, how long has it been since you went to pay your respects to the Empress?Have you ever seen Zhaohua Zhaoyu?The emperor said: A few days, every time I go, I will look at Zhaohua Zhaoyu.Concubine Rong laughed and said: You really like boys, and you will either appreciate An'er or Long'er every day.You are so partial!The emperor laughed and said, "Aren't you happy that I reward An'er?"Fu Long'an is because his Ama'eniang has not been around recently, so I care about it.
