The daily life of the crown prince of the Song Dynasty

Before going to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings, Zhao Yang planned to go to Taixue to visit the two brothers Su Shi and Su Zhe.

This time he went to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings, and he went there for 49 days. When Su Shi and Su Zhe and their brothers rested, he couldn't accompany them to visit Bianjing.

At this time, Zhao Yang and Cao Xu were on the bullock cart heading to Taixue.

Beside Zhao Yang, there are three big food boxes, which are filled with all kinds of delicious food.

Some time ago, Su Xun left Bianjing and returned to Meizhou to pick up his wife.After he left, Su Shi and Su Zhe brothers moved to live in Taixue.

There are many students from other places in Taixue, and they live in the dormitory of Taixue.There are many dormitories in Taixue, and they are all independent.

There are two rooms in each dormitory, one for two students.Each room is very large, and the study and bedroom are connected together.

Because Su Shi and Su Zhe lived in the dormitory of Taixue late, there were only the two of them in the small courtyard where they lived, and they could live in a room by themselves.

It was the first time for the two brothers to live in school, and they were not used to it, but fortunately, they were with each other.

At the moment, the two brothers and other students are in class.

Zhao Yang brought Cao Xu and the others to Taixue.

There are guards guarding the gate of Taixue, and ordinary people cannot enter.However, Zhao Yang and the others are not ordinary people, they entered as the Cao family.

Zhao Yang and Cao Xu looked around curiously as they walked, just like Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden.

The environment in Taixue is very quiet, with many trees and bamboos, as well as many flowers and plants.

Now is the season when flowers are in full bloom, and the flowers and plants in Taixue are all blooming, very beautiful.

There are schools on both sides, and there are waves of reading in the school.

Cao Xu's tone was full of disappointment: "It's very ordinary." He looked around and found that there was nothing special about Taixue.

"It's really ordinary." Zhao Yang withdrew his curious gaze, "But the environment is good." Such a quiet environment is suitable for reading quietly.

"Third brother, which school are Su Shi and the others in?" There are so many schools, which school are Su Shi and the others in.

"Ashi and the others are still in class, we will look for them later." Zhao Yang put his hands behind his back, "Let's take a good look around Taixue first."

"Ok."

Zhao Yang and Cao Xu walked around and looked around casually.As I walked, I saw a vegetable field in which many vegetables were planted.

When I got closer, I found that each vegetable field was surrounded by a small fence, and a sign was hung on it.The words "Jiazi", "Yichou" and "Bingyin" are written on the sign.

A, B, C... should be the name of the class.

Zi, Chou, Yin... should be names of age.

"This vegetable is not as good as what we grow." Cao Xu commented on the vegetables grown by the students very disgustedly. The vegetables are listless... "It seems that students who are too educated can't grow vegetables."

"It's okay, at least it's neat and clean." After Zhao Yang finished speaking, he raised his chin slightly and said proudly, "Of course the vegetables we grow are the best."

Cao Xu said very proudly: "That is."

"Go, continue shopping."

After walking for a while, I saw a large vegetable field again.

This vegetable field is better than the previous one, and the vegetables grow well.

"Third brother, what is the field in front of you planted, is it wheat?"

Zhao Yang walked over and looked carefully: "It's wheat." In April, besides rice, you can also grow wheat. "The wheat seedlings are growing well."

"I didn't expect wheat to be grown in Taixue."

"It's good to plant wheat in the ground, unlike rice that has to be planted in paddy fields." Zhao Yang nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that Taixue is well implemented."

"Third brother, what's the implementation?"

"Let the students farm the land." Zhao Yang said with a smile, "It's not a perfunctory job, it's very good."

Cao Xu said: "Third brother, you ordered the Taixue to farm the land, and gave the Taixue ten courage, they dare not not do it, and they dare not be perfunctory."

"I hope they didn't plant the land to deal with me." Zhao Yang stood up and patted the soil in his hands, "I hope they can really understand the purpose of letting them farm the land."

"Third brother, if these students can't understand your painstaking efforts, then they are useless."

"That's right." The courtiers he wants are those who do practical things, not a group of people who can only chew on words. "Go, keep watching."

"who are you?"

Cao Xu took a step forward, picked up the jade pendant on his waist, and showed it to the visitors: "We are from the Cao family, and we came here to visit Taixue."

Powerful families like the Cao family all have jade pendants that symbolize their status. This is their family's jade pendant.

The jade pendant that Cao Xu took out had on the front the plum blossom, the family flower of the Cao family.The reverse side is engraved with a "Cao" character.

When the visitor saw that Zhao Yang and the others were from the Cao family, he bowed to them: "Mr. Cao, do you want to enroll in the Imperial College when you visit the Imperial College?"

Cao Xu nodded and said, "I have this plan, so I want to take a look."

Hearing that the Cao family was coming to Taixue to study, the visitor was very excited, and his expression became eager.

"Young Master Cao, if you don't mind, I will show you around the Taixue." In the Taixue, there are many children from official families, but there are not any children from top-notch families.

Don't look at the countless scholars trying to squeeze their heads into the Taixue, but for the top dignitaries, it is not uncommon for them to come to the Taixue to study.

The families of the top dignitaries have money and can afford good husbands, so there is no need to send their children to Taixue.

"Thank you, but no need, we can go shopping by ourselves."

"Then Mr. Cao, you can continue shopping. If there is anything you need, you can come and find me." The visitor pointed to not far away, and said very politely to Cao Xu, "It's right there."

Cao Xu saluted the visitor: "Thank you."

The person came back with a salute: "Young master Cao, please go ahead."

Cao Xu nodded to the visitor: "Then let's go."

After the visitors watched Cao Xu and the others leave, they hurried to find Professor Zhou and told Professor Zhou about the Cao family's visit to Taixue.

Chu Yue looked at Cao Xu jokingly, and said jokingly, "Young Master Cao, you were very majestic just now."

Cao Xu raised his chin and said with a stinky face, "Sometimes, the identity of the Cao family is quite useful."

Zhao Yang teased Cao Xu and said, "Just pretended to be decent." Usually Cao Xu is shameless in front of Zhao Yang, but just now he put on the appearance of a nobleman in front of others, which can bluff people.

"Third brother, what do you mean by pretending to be decent?" Cao Xu said unconvinced, "I am the Cao family, so what else do I need to pretend?"

"I mean you're pretty good at bluffing."

"Third brother, why do I feel that you are not complimenting me?"

Zhao Yang shook his head with a smile and said nothing.

Cao Xu followed Zhao Yang to continue to visit Taixue.

The three of them came to a bamboo forest unknowingly, and suddenly heard bursts of zither sounds coming from it.

The sound of the piano is elegant and pure, like the holy snow on a snow mountain.

Zhao Yang and the others stopped involuntarily and listened intently for a while.

Just listening for a while, Zhao Yang and the three of them felt that their souls seemed to be washed by holy snow.

The sound of the piano was over, and Zhao Yang and the three of them came back to their senses, feeling that there was still more to say.

"Third brother, do you want to go in and have a look?"

"If you don't go in, it's not good to disturb others." Zhao Yang said, "Let's go."

The three walked around for a while, and suddenly heard a bell ringing.

"It should be a break after class." Zhao Yang raised his hand and patted Cao Xu on the shoulder, "Go to A Shi and the others."

Su Shi and Su Zhe are in the Jiayou class.Zhao Yang and the others asked a few people to find the Jiayou class.

Although they had a rest, Su Shi and Su Zhe did not come out to relax.

"Su Shi, Su Zhe, someone is looking for you."

"Someone is looking for us?" Su Shi and Su Zhe looked towards the door at the same time, and saw Zhao Yang standing at the door waving to them.The two exclaimed in surprise at the same time, "Fuhui?!"

The two stood up abruptly and ran out in a hurry.

"Fuhui, why are you here?" Su Shi and his brothers were very happy to see Fuhui in Taixue after not seeing Fuhui for a long time.

"Of course I came to see you." Zhao Yang crossed his arms and smiled brightly. "Are you surprised or surprised when you see me?"

"surprise!"

"Accident!"

The classmates of Su Shi and Su Zhe saw that Zhao Yang was beautiful, so they couldn't help asking Su Shi and them curiously, who is Zhao Yang, and is he their younger brother?

The brothers said they were not their younger brothers, but their friends.

Seeing the classmates staring at them all the time, Su Shi and Su Zhe took Zhao Yang and the others to another place.

Not far from their school, there is a small garden in which many flowers and plants are planted.Now the flowers are blooming, and the scenery inside is very good.Before class, many students will come here to study.However, there was no one at the moment.

Su Zhe was very happy to see Zhao Yang: "Fuhui, you really came to see us."

"I said that I would come to Taixue to see you." Zhao Yang carefully looked at Su Shi and his brothers, seeing that they had dark circles under their eyes, he was a little worried, "Did you not sleep in Taixue? After finishing speaking, he pointed to his eyes, "You all have dark circles under your eyes."

"Dark circles?" Su Shi and Su Zhe raised their hands to touch their eyes, but they didn't feel any black spots.

"You guys are turning blue now." Zhao Yang asked with concern, "Did you not sleep well at night?"

"You're talking about that." Su Shi smiled sheepishly, "During this time, Ah Zhe and I have been studying late."

"You don't know how to read until the ugly time or the Yin time?"

"When I read ugly."

"I remember that you have to get up and study at midnight in the morning, and you only sleep for two hours a day." Zhao Yang widened his eyes in surprise, and said with an expression of disbelief, "Are you desperate?"

"Don't die." Su Shi patted Zhao Yang's shoulder lightly, comforting him, "For me and A Zhe, two hours of sleep a day is enough."

Su Zhe nodded vigorously at the side: "Two hours is enough."

"That's enough." Zhao Yang swears, "If you get enough sleep, you won't have dark circles under your eyes."

Cao Xu said from the side: "You two are studying at your own risk."

Chu Yue was dumbfounded and said, "Are all the students of Taixue studying so hard?"

Su Shi nodded and said: "Basically, it's like this. They go to bed when they read ugliness. Some people even go to bed when they read Yin."

Zhao Yang: "..." Are all the students of Taixue studying like this?

"I only went to sleep at Yinshi, and I got up to read at Maoshi. I only slept for an hour." Cao Xu looked horrified, "You really don't want your life."

"A Shi, A Zhe, it's right to study hard, but staying up late to study like you is very harmful to your health." Zhao Yang persuaded earnestly, "If this continues, you will burn your body to pieces. The body is for reading. Capital, if you burn yourself out, how will you take the imperial examination in the future. The imperial examination is very tiring, and you must know that many people are not in good health, and they are prone to fall ill when taking the imperial examination, and even die because of it."

Su Shi and Su Zhe brothers were startled by Zhao Yang's last words.

"Don't think that you can mess around when you are young and healthy, and don't fall ill when you take the imperial examination, and then the gain will not be worth the loss." Zhao Yang said with a serious face, "The younger you are, the more you must take care of your body, so I will wait for you Only when you take the imperial examinations can you be safe. By the way, if you often stay up late and don’t sleep well, you will not grow tall, and you don’t want to be short.”

The last sentence frightened Su Shi and Su Zhe brothers again, and their expressions were very frightened.

"Staying up all night really doesn't grow taller?"

"That's right, the imperial physician said it." Zhao Yang was the fastest for a moment, not realizing that he was talking about the "imperial physician". "In order to grow taller in the future, I sleep at least five hours a day. If you want to be short in the future, then stay up late and sleep for two hours every day."

Su Che shook his head like a rattle: "I don't want to be a dwarf, and I won't stay up late to study anymore."

Su Shi was also intimidated: "We must go to bed early in the future." It's really scary to grow short and become a dwarf.

Next, Zhao Yang asked Su Shi and Su Zhe about their studies in Taixue carefully and concernedly.

Su Shi and Su Zhe said that they were all well in Taixue, and also thanked Zhao Yang for always suggesting that they come to Taixue to study.

Seeing that Su Shi and Su Zhe liked going to Taixue, Zhao Yang was very happy for them.

"I just said that you will like to come to Taixue to study."

"Fuhui, you're right..." Su Shi and Su Zhe talked about the matter that His Royal Highness asked their students to farm the land, and said that this incident made them understand why they were studying.Then, they talked about spring plowing and transplanting rice seedlings.Finally, let's talk about Prince Li.

Zhao Yang was a little embarrassed when he heard that Su Shi and his brothers praised him.

When Su Shi and Su Zhe said that they had written an article praising His Royal Highness the Prince's Plow, Zhao Yang choked in a mouthful of saliva in shock, and then coughed violently.He didn't expect Su Shi and the others to praise him in the article.

When Su Shi and Su Zhe talked about Prince Li, they were full of admiration for His Royal Highness.He once again praised His Royal Highness to the sky.

Zhao Yang blushed from being praised.

Cao Xu stood aside, covering his mouth, trying to hold back a smile.

Seeing this, Zhao Yang raised his hand and gave Cao Xu an elbow.

Cao Xu felt the pain, and then he didn't dare to laugh anymore.

Su Shi and Su Zhe noticed that Zhao Yang looked a little guilty, and they were even more sure that Fu Hui and His Royal Highness were cousins.

"Ashi, I brought you something to eat." After Zhao Yang finished speaking, he glanced at Chu Yue.

Chu Yue understood immediately, and went out to the bullock cart to fetch three large food boxes.

When Su Shi and the others heard that there was something to eat, their eyes immediately became bright.

"Is there any braised pork?" Although the canteen of Taixue also made braised pork on weekdays, the braised pork made in the canteen was not delicious.

"Of course there is."

Chu Yue moved quickly, and took three food boxes in a short while, and handed them to Su Shi and the others.

When Su Zhe and the others took it, they found that the food box was very heavy.

"I brought you a lot of food, you eat slowly."

Su Shi really wanted to open the food box to see what was delicious inside, but it was too impolite to do so.Furthermore, this is not their dormitory, so it is not very good to open it here.

"Fuhui, thank you so much."

"Fuhui, you are really a good friend of ours." Although the sage said that appetite is not a good thing, the food in the canteen in Taixue is really not good, and they haven't eaten delicious food for a long time.Fuhui sent them so many delicious food this time, it was really timely rain.

"By the way, Fuhui, Ah Zhe and I will have a rest in five days, and then we will go out to play together." They have been in Bianjing City for a while, but they haven't visited Bianjing City until now.Before that, Fuhui wanted to take them to play in Washe and go to Zhouqiao Night Market to eat delicious food.Now is finally time.

"Fuhui, let's go to Zhouqiao Night Market to eat delicious food together."

"I also really want to go to Zhouqiao Night Market to eat delicious food with you, but I have to go back to Xiangguo Temple in five days, so I can't play with you."

"Fuhui, don't you go to Xiangguo Temple at the beginning of every month?" Before, Zhao Yang told Su Shi and the others that he was a registered disciple of Xiangguo Temple and would go to Xiangguo Temple to learn Buddhism at the beginning of every month. "Five days later is not the beginning of next month."

"Yes..." Zhao Yang almost said "Daddy", but fortunately he found out in time and changed his words, "The official family will go to Xiangguo Temple to pray for Jiangnan in five days, and the monks of the entire Xiangguo Temple will also pray for Jiangnan , I want to participate too."

"Pray for Jiangnan?" Su Shi hurriedly asked, "What happened to Jiangnan?"

"I heard that there is a drought in the south of the Yangtze River. The officials want to pray for rain in the south of the Yangtze River, so they have to pray for 49 days at Xiangguo Temple." Zhao Yang said, "Although I am a registered disciple, my Dharma is good, so I have to pray for blessings."

When Su Shi and Su Che heard that the south of the Yangtze River was dry, their expressions became very worried.

"The officials personally went to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings. Is the drought in the south of the Yangtze River very serious?"

"I heard that from the beginning of this year to the present, there has been almost no rain in Jiangnan." Seeing that Su Shi and the others were concerned, Zhao Yang felt that it was okay to say a few more words to them. It hasn't even rained, and there hasn't been spring plowing in the south of the Yangtze River."

"so serious?!"

Zhao Yang nodded slightly: "That's why the officials are going to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings. I came to you today to tell you about this, and I won't be able to visit you for more than a month."

"Praying is important, Fuhui, you have to pray well."

"Although I won't be able to visit you for more than a month, Ash will visit you instead of me and will give you delicious food." Zhao Yang urged, "If you have anything to say, you can directly talk to Ash."

Cao Xu smiled at Su Shi and the others: "If you have anything to do, you can come to me directly."

"Fuhui, we will be fine in Taixue, don't worry about us." Seeing Zhao Yang going to pray and not forgetting them, Su Shi and Su Zhe brothers were very moved, "Pray well."

At this time, the bell rang, and Su Shi and the others were going back to school to study.

"Ashi, you go to study, we will leave first."

"Fuhui, go slowly, we won't see you off."

Seeing that their master was coming soon, Su Shi and Su Zhe didn't dare to say anything more to Zhao Yang and the others, and hurried back to school.Before leaving, I did not forget to take three food boxes with me.

After Zhao Yang and the others left Taixue, they went back to the palace directly.

Lanlin Hall.

Chen said softly: "Officials, you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will go to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings in a few days. As female family members, we cannot pray together, but we female family members also want to do our part."

When Song Renzong heard what Chen said, he smiled and said, "It's enough for you to have this kind of heart."

"Official, I have a suggestion."

Song Renzong put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at Chen with a little curiosity: "What suggestion?"

"There is also a Buddhist hall in the palace. I think we can pray for Jiangnan in the Buddhist hall in the palace." Chen's tone was gentle, "Officials, you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince prayed for Jiangnan in Xiangguo Temple for 49 days, then we harem women can also pray for Jiangnan." In the Buddhist hall in the palace, I prayed for Jiangnan for 49 days."

Zhang Maoshi, who was waiting at the side, frowned slightly when he heard Chen's words, and said in his heart, Beauty Chen is really good at tricks.

Song Renzong didn't expect Chen Meiren to be so worried, he was very relieved, and said with emotion: "Okay, then you all pray in the palace." After finishing speaking, he stood up, stretched out his hand to hold Chen Meiren's hands, and said softly, "You Have a heart."

Chen Meiren held Song Renzong's hands back and looked at Song Renzong affectionately: "Officials, we also want to do our part." After finishing speaking, she said, "Officials, praying for blessings in the Buddhist hall in the palace , I still want the empress to preside over it, and I want the officials to tell the empress."

Zhang Maoshi was surprised, he didn't expect that Chen Meiren would let the Queen Empress preside over the blessings in the palace.She didn't want such a chance to gain fame, and gave it to the empress. She was really... too good at being a man, too smart.

"Can't you host?" Song Renzong patted the back of Chen Meiren's hand lightly, and said softly, "You can host, and then invite the queen and the others."

Chen Meiren gently squeezed Song Renzong's palm, and said with a smile: "Officials, the empress is the master of the harem, and she should preside over it. Besides, my status is low, and I am not worthy of presiding over such a sacred thing as praying for blessings."

Song Renzong frowned slightly: "Don't say that your status is low."

"Officials, it's a fact that I came from a humble background. I don't care, and you shouldn't care either." Chen Meiren said in a very serious tone, "This time I'm praying for Jiangnan, and the empress must preside over it."

Seeing that Chen Meiren insisted, Song Renzong had no choice but to let her.

"Okay, it's up to you."

"Officials, you should pay attention to your body when you go to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings..." Chen Meiren held Song Renzong's hands, and kept telling Song Renzong to pay attention to rest, eat well, and take care of himself.

Listening to Chen Meiren's words of concern for him, Song Renzong felt warm in his heart.

"You have to take care of yourself."

After chatting with Chen Meiren for a while, Song Renzong went to Kunning Palace and told Empress Cao about praying in the palace.

Song Renzong also specifically emphasized that it was Chen Meiren who proposed to pray for Jiangnan in the Buddhist hall in the palace, and also emphasized that it was Chen Meiren who proposed to let Empress Cao preside over it.

After hearing this, Empress Cao was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Chen Meiren would let her preside over the prayer in the palace.

"Beauty Chen has a heart." She did not expect to pray for Jiangnan in the Buddhist hall in the palace.

"She has always been caring." Song Renzong smiled, "Queen, I will leave it to you to pray for blessings in the palace."

Empress Cao nodded her head lightly and said, "Don't worry, the officials will handle this matter well."

"Queen, you can ask Beauty Chen to help you."

Empress Cao knew Song Renzong's purpose and did not refuse: "Okay, my concubine asked Chen Meiren to help."

Song Renzong originally thought that Empress Cao would refuse, but he didn't expect Empress Cao to readily agree, which surprised him a little.

He wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak when he opened his mouth.

Seeing Song Renzong's hesitant expression, Empress Cao asked with a little doubt: "Official, do you have any orders?"

Song Renzong looked at Empress Cao, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"No more." He stood up and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll go first."

Empress Cao stood up and saluted: "Respectfully send off to the official family."

Song Renzong glanced at Empress Cao again, and then left Kunning Palace with a calm expression.

Walking out of Kunning Palace, Song Renzong said with a slightly sullen face: "Queen..." At this point, Song Renzong stopped suddenly and didn't say any more.

Zhang Maoshi asked cautiously: "Officials, what about the Empress?"

"I was going to Xiangguo Temple to pray, but the queen didn't say a word to me." Song Renzong was a little conflicted. On the one hand, he hoped to get Empress Cao's care, but on the other hand, he didn't want to be cared by Empress Cao.

Zhang Maoshi instantly understood what Song Renzong meant.Just now Chen Meiren gave some advice to Song Renzong, but the empress did not say a word of concern to Song Renzong, so Song Renzong was dissatisfied with Empress Cao.

This……

Zhang Maoshi wanted to say something nice for Empress Cao, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

Song Renzong didn't expect Zhang Maoshi to answer what he just said, he sighed softly and said, "Forget it."

Zhang Maoshi looked at Song Renzong who was walking in front, and sighed in his heart, whether the officials want the empress's care or not.

After Song Renzong left, Chunyu frowned tightly and said, "Ma'am, what does Beauty Chen want to do?"

Empress Cao raised her eyebrows lightly and said, "She is smart."

"Your Majesty, is Beauty Chen up to some tricks?" Chunyu said with a wary face, "My Lady, if you don't have anything to show courteousness, it's either adultery or robbery."

"She did this to gain a good reputation for herself." Although she was in charge of praying in the palace, this matter was proposed by Chen Meiren, and she would gain a good reputation.

"Praying for such a solemn and sacred matter, the officials actually asked Chen Meiren to preside over it with you. What qualifications does she have to preside over the palace prayer with you from a humble background?" Chunyu said dissatisfiedly, "The officials are obviously protecting her."

"After all, she proposed it." Empress Cao didn't think anything about it.

"Niang Niang, you really want to host with her, you really flatter her too much."

"Go and invite Chen Meiren."

"Now?" Chunyu looked surprised, "Your Majesty, are you going to invite her here now?"

Empress Cao nodded: "Yes, go and invite her."

Chunyu didn't dare to say anything, so she hurriedly went to Lanlin Hall to invite Chen Meiren.

Chen Meiren originally thought that Empress Cao would look for her in a few days, but she didn't expect to come to her so soon.

"The concubine sees the empress."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Empress."

Empress Cao said straight to the point: "The official just told me that Beauty Chen, you proposed to pray for Jiangnan in the Buddhist hall in the palace. You have a heart."

Chen Meiren stood up and bowed to Empress Cao: "Thank you, Empress Empress, for your compliment, I just thought of it suddenly."

"It's good that you have this kind of heart." Empress Cao herself didn't think of praying for Jiangnan in the Buddhist hall in the palace. No matter what purpose Chen Meiren thought of this matter, it showed that she had a heart. "The official asked you to host with me..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Mrs. Chen.She hurriedly stood up and bowed to Empress Cao: "Empress Empress, I am not qualified to preside over the blessings in the palace with you."

"However, the official asked you to help me preside over the blessings in the palace."

"Empress, my concubine comes from a humble background and is not qualified to preside over it." Chen Meiren's posture was very low, "Furthermore, my concubine has no experience in presiding over blessings in the palace. Not only will I not be able to help you, but it will also cause you trouble."

"It's okay, I'll teach you how to do it." Empress Cao's tone was unquestionable.

Chen Meiren didn't dare to decline any more, and bowed to Empress Cao again: "I will try my best to help empress empress."

"Actually, praying in the Buddhist hall in the palace is not that complicated..." Empress Cao briefly told Meiren Chen what to do when praying in the Buddhist hall in the palace.In fact, it is chanting and copying Buddhist scriptures.

Chen Meiren listened very seriously and wrote down everything Empress Cao said.

"Five days later, I will pray in the Buddhist hall in the palace, and two days later, I will take a bath and burn incense." Empress Cao told Chen Meiren again before letting Chen Meiren retreat.

Chen Meiren was very respectful from the beginning to the end, without any arrogance of a concubine.

"Ms. Chen Meiren..." Chunyu doesn't like Chen Meiren, but she can't find any faults in Chen Meiren.Every time Chen Meiren came to Kunning Palace, she was very respectful and well behaved.There was no trace of disrespect in words or actions. "She is unpredictable." Although Zhang is arrogant and domineering, she can be seen through, but Chen Meiren is hard to see through, and people don't know what she wants to do.

"It's a fox, and sooner or later it will reveal its tail." Empress Cao said calmly, "What are you in a hurry for?"

"I'm afraid that she will harm His Royal Highness like Zhang."

"She's smarter than Mrs. Zhang." Empress Cao's tone was very firm, "She won't take action against Yang Yang for the time being."

Chen Meiren knew in her heart that if something happened to Zhao Yang, she would be the first to be suspected.Furthermore, she was opposed by the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty when she entered the palace, and she had not yet established a firm foothold in the palace, so she would never dare to frame Zhao Yang.

If she tries to kill Zhao Yang now, she will be courting death.

"Ma'am, let's keep an eye on it."

"Yes." Although Chen Meiren was very polite and honest, Empress Cao did not let her guard down because of this.A smart person like Chen Meiren should be more careful.

The concubines in the harem soon received the request to pray in the Buddhist hall in the palace.It was heard that Chen Meiren proposed it, and the concubines thought that she was trying to gain fame and said behind her back that she was hypocritical.

Chen Meiren listened and didn't care at all.When she came back from Kunning Palace, she took a bath and changed clothes, and practiced copying Buddhist scriptures.

She copied the "Diamond Sutra" in two days, and then took it to Kunning Palace for Empress Cao to have a look.

Empress Cao was a little surprised when she saw that Meiren Chen was so diligently copying Buddhist scriptures before the prayer started.Even if Chen Meiren is pretending, it is not easy to do this.

The previous dynasty was busy with Song Renzong and His Royal Highness going to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings, and the harem was also busy praying for blessings in the Buddhist hall in the palace.

Song Renzong and Zhao Yang, who were the parties, were not busy at all.Before going to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings, Zhao Yang still studied with Yan Shu and Ouyang Xiu as usual these days.

On the day of praying, before dawn, Zhao Yang was called up, put on the crown prince's court clothes, and went to Funing Palace to find Song Renzong.

The father and son simply finished their breakfast and set off for Xiangguo Temple.The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty followed them to Xiangguo Temple.

The masters of Xiangguo Temple have long been waiting for them in the Daxiong Hall.

After Zhao Yang and Song Renzong changed into monk clothes, they began to chant scriptures with the masters of Xiangguo Temple.

They prayed at Xiangguo Temple, that is, chanted scriptures and copied Buddhist scriptures.

Zhao Yang and the others chanted scriptures and prayed for blessings in the Daxiong Hall, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty chanted scriptures at the gate of the Daxiong Hall.

Chanting scriptures in the morning and copying Buddhist scriptures in the afternoon.

Chanting scriptures and copying Buddhist scriptures are commonplace for Zhao Yang.However, this time Zhao Yang copied Buddhist scriptures with extra care.

In the evening, it is chanting and praying.

The process of praying for blessings in the first three days is basically the same.On the fourth day, Song Renzong could handle political affairs in Xiangguo Temple.

When the common people learned that the officials and His Highness the Crown Prince prayed for Jiangnan, they praised the officials and His Highness the Prince for their benevolence, and spontaneously prayed for Jiangnan.

Song Renzong's health was not very good, and he fell ill within 20 days after going to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings, and he was very sick. He could not continue to pray at Xiangguo Temple, so he had to go back to the palace first.

Zhao Yang did not go back to the palace with him, but stayed alone and continued to pray for Jiangnan.

On the 30th day of praying, it started to rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and it rained very hard.It rained heavily for several days in a row, alleviating the drought in the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhao Yang learned that it was raining in the south of the Yangtze River, and he couldn't believe it: "Is it true or not, is it so effective?"

Master Kong Jing said kindly: "It is your sincerity that moved the Buddha."

"That's great." Zhao Yang was full of joy, and then he kowtowed three times in front of the Buddha, "Thank you Buddha."

The common people learned that His Royal Highness the Prince continued to stay in Xiangguo Temple alone to pray for Jiangnan, and the blessing was successful, causing heavy rain on the Jiangnan side, and praised His Royal Highness as auspicious.

Although it rained heavily in the south of the Yangtze River, the 49 days of blessing did not end. Zhao Yang insisted on staying in Xiangguo Temple and continued to pray for Jiangnan.
