There is no phoenix

At noon on the fifth day of April, Li Bing of Yunyang Palace gave birth to a daughter. Shui Ruoyang named her Shui Yingying, and Shui Ze bestowed the youngest princess as Princess Yongjia.

On April [-]th, Xichun also gave birth to a daughter in Liuzhai, named Liu Ruxue.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Bing and Xichun were both confinement, Li Shoubei and the lame Taoist left the capital to travel outside the Northwest Great Wall, promising to return to the capital from time to time to visit everyone.

Not long after the scorching summer, the Ghost Festival is approaching.

It was the [-]th day of the seventh month, and thinking that it would be the Ghost Festival in two days, Ping'er privately said to Sister Qiao: "Sister Qiao, your mother has passed away for three years, and the Ghost Festival is a day to worship ancestors. Although your mother is buried in Jinling, she only has you as a daughter, shall we buy some paper money and send it to your uncle's house, so that he can burn the paper money together?"

Sister Qiao said, "But Aunt Ping, why can't you burn it here?"

Ping'er sighed: "Sister Qiao, you don't know, your mother has never been here, and she was not sent to be buried here after death. We burn it here, and she won't get it in the underworld."

After hearing this, Qiaojie hurriedly said: "Aunt Ping, then go and help me buy the sacrifice, I will send it to my uncle, and I will tell him personally."

Ping'er nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go shopping, and the two of us will deliver it later."

Sister Qiao nodded and said, "Then I'll go and tell the old lady and my grandma first."

Ping'er came to the street, but met Jia Qin who was wandering.At that time, Jia Qin enthusiastically greeted Ping'er and said, "Miss Ping, it's the first time I see you coming out alone. Why do you have to come out to buy these things for the Hungry Ghost Festival? Isn't there Baoyu and the second master?" Is it?"

Ping'er hurriedly said: "I bought it for the second grandma. The second grandma has been away for three years, and we have a good relationship, besides, there is sister Qiao."

Jia Qin raised her finger and praised: "I didn't expect Miss Ping to be so affectionate, and I, Jia Qin, admire it! Although my surname is Jia, I also think that my second uncle Lian has gone too far. By the way, I saw Miss Qiao's elder sister that day. It's going fast, it's very like the second grandma back then, I'll find out about a good family someday, and help you guys find a good marriage, and you guys can follow along and get lucky."

Ping'er hurriedly said: "Brother Qin, I accept your wish. Sister Qiao is the only child of the second grandma. She is not yet 12 years old. I want to go back."

Jia Qin said: "Miss Ping, you may not know that most of the famous family members, who don't settle down first and then consummate the marriage? Like you are now, if you can get a good marriage, are you afraid that you won't have a chance to turn around? You Don't worry, I know you can't make the decision alone, when I have good news, I will naturally go to see the old lady."

After Jia Qin finished speaking, she stopped talking and walked away leisurely.

Ping'er returned to Jia's house, had lunch, and told Jia's mother and Mrs. Xing that she would go to Wang Ren's place with Qiao Jie. , left at a young age, remembering before, she should also burn paper money for her, you go and come back early."

Ping'er brought something and was about to leave when Jia's mother remembered something again and said, "Ping'er, sister Qiao, wait a moment, let Baoyu write the cover for you, and then let Qiao's uncle take it out with you." Just burn it, so as not to save Qiaojie's uncle from having to write again."

After hearing this, Ping'er had to put the things under the eaves and asked Sister Qiao to ask Baoyu to write the cover.

Baoyu now reads in the house besides taking care of the child Jia Kui.Baoyu and Jialan both went to Chunwei last time, but both of them lost their names in Sunshan.Now that Jia Zheng is urging him to work hard every day, Baoyu has no choice but to force himself to read in the room.

Hearing that he was going to write on the envelope of paper money that was burned for Sister Feng, Baoyu brought Jia Kui out, sat on the table, hesitated for a while, and wrote it carefully.Ping'er still packed up and took Qiaojie out.

When Ping'er and Qiaojie came to Wang Ren's mansion, they saw Wang Ren was about to go out.Ping'er explained why he came here, and showed Wang Ren the things, Wang Ren had no choice but to say: "Well, it's rare for you two to remember this year. I just bought some sacrifices for my uncle, let's put them together. I'm going to burn papers on the [-]th, so you have to be sincere, and come here by yourself when the time comes."

After hearing this, Ping'er looked at Sister Qiao, who said: "Uncle, you are right, I have grown up and should kowtow to my mother, I will come with Aunt Ping."

Wang Ren nodded and said without holding back, "I'm going to the shop now, you go back first, and come over in the afternoon the day after tomorrow."

After hearing this, Ping'er and Qiaojie had no choice but to leave and go back.

However, because it will be the Hungry Ghost Festival soon at the Beijing Palace, Shui Rong and Shui Ze discuss that they want to take Shui Yunqing Shui Lin to the Muni Court to pay homage to the deceased biological mother, Empress Xiao Xiande.Because the court was going to be early in the morning, it was agreed that the two brothers would go to the Muni Court by car in casual clothes in the afternoon on the [-]th.

Early the next morning, Mizusawa asked the personal eunuch to go to the Muni Temple to prepare all the sacrifices.Not long after noon, Shui Rong and Daiyu brought Shui Lin, and two maids hugged Shui Xiao and Shui Zhen, Princess Bei Jing repeatedly ordered them to get into the palace carriage, and Shui An and Chen Yejun escorted them on horseback. Shui Ze, Empress Zhang and Prince Shui Yunqing in the Xihua Gate and other palaces.

After a while, Emperor Shui Ze and Empress Zhang in plain clothes came out with Shui Yunqing, and Li Lei led six palace guards to follow, so the group headed for Muni Court.

Master Huiming of the Muni Academy knew early in the morning that the Son of Heaven, his younger brother, Prince Beijing, and his family members would come to offer sacrifices to the sage Empress Xiao Xiande in the afternoon, and ordered people to clean up the courtyard early.

But to Master Huiming's surprise, the young emperor Mizusawa and Prince Beijing came here with ease.

Daiyu had lived in the Muni Courtyard before, and Shui Ze Shui Rong had also met Master Huiming, so apart from Queen Zhang, they were no strangers to this place.

Master Huiming saw that the prince Shui Yunqing and Shui Lin were almost the same age and similar in appearance, and the two children were holding hands behind Queen Zhang of Shui Ze, thinking they were twins, and saw that the girl behind Shui Rong Daiyu was holding two children of the same size. The child couldn't help clasping his hands together and said with a smile: "The sage Xiao Xiande empress has a spirit in the sky, seeing you princes and grandchildren worshiping her, it's time to smile!"

When everyone came to the Daxiong Hall, the monks and nuns on both sides sat on the futons and prayed together.The two brothers Shui Ze Shui Rong went forward to offer incense first, and then brought Shui Yun Qing Shui Lin to kneel in front, and Empress Zhang, Dai Yu and two maids also knelt behind holding Shui Xiao Shui Zhen.

Master Huiming read the sacrificial oration, burned it on the spot, and then knelt aside to pray.

After a while, after the worship was over, Shui Ze said to Master Huiming again: "Master Huiming, the treasure temple is a place of peace. My mother was kind, filial, and thrifty during her lifetime. She just turned 50 this year, so I still want to lend the treasure temple to me." Mother's mother lit an ever-burning lantern until the end of the year, and also asked the master to ask someone to help me and my younger brother to copy 99 parts of the "Diamond Sutra", which will be sent to scattered people at the end of the year."

After Mizusawa finished speaking, he asked Xia Shouming, his personal eunuch, to present 500 taels of silver to make incense offerings.In addition, five hundred silver was rewarded to buy a set of shoes, socks and monk clothes for all the monks and nuns in the courtyard.

Master Huiming naturally agreed.

After arranging everything, Shui Ze Shui Rong, Empress Zhang, Dai Yu and several children walked around the whole Muni Courtyard again, and Dai Yu was the one who was most impressed.

When Daiyu came here for the first time, it was a time when she was sick and sad.Due to the special experience and the special environment, Daiyu suffered from constant illnesses almost all year round and took medicine constantly, making her body like a willow in the wind.In order to recuperate, she followed Miaoyu to this place to recuperate.Right now, I am already the Prince and Princess of Beijing, and also the mother of three children.

Half an hour later, a group of people walked out of the Muni courtyard, and Master Huiming led the monks and nuns in the courtyard to send them out of the courtyard.

"Father, queen mother, Yao Shuilin and I are in the car together. I also want to hug my little brother. I like these two little brothers."

Empress Zhang smiled and said, "Yun Qing, you are still young, how can you hug your brother?"

After hearing this, Shui Yunqing hurriedly said: "No, mother, Shui Lin said that he can hold his younger brother, so can I. I want a younger brother."

After hearing this, Shui Lin looked at Daiyu and said, "Mother Concubine, I want to hug Brother Zhen, can you give Brother Xiao a hug for Brother Yunqing? I just told Brother Yunqing that each of us hugs a younger brother. "

Shui Xiao Shui Zhen in the hands of the two girls looked at Shui Yunqing and Shui Lin who were talking together, and kept shaking their hands and laughing.

"Queen, look at Brother Xiao and Brother Zhen looking at us and laughing, I'm afraid I'm going to hug Brother Xiao!"

Shui Yunqing grabbed Queen Zhang's sleeve and refused to let go.
