But before pretending to be sick, things went wrong again.

Jiang Ling looked through the almanac in the room, and was about to choose an auspicious day for a serious illness, but when she saw the date on the almanac, she was stunned: it was March 29, and it was the first day of the next month. , with less than two days left.

When Jiang Ling entered the palace, he had an agreement with Lin Daiyu that on every first and fifteenth day, he would go to the largest Buddhist temple on the outskirts of the city to meet Lin Daiyu.If Jiang Ling doesn't arrive, Lin Daiyu will wait forever.Since Jiang Ling came to this world, the first warm color she met was Miss Daiyu, so no matter what, Jiang Ling was unwilling to let Lin Daiyu wait there in vain.

The plan of pretending to be sick can only be shelved for the time being, she has to find a suitable excuse to leave the palace first.

Jiang Ling closed the almanac and began to worry.

Ever since she lived in the empress dowager's bedroom, no matter where Jiang Ling went, she was always followed by a large group of people.She once asked La Aunt Su Ma why she was treated beyond the standard because she was just a small resident. At that time, La Aunt Su Ma wrote lightly: "Because you live in the palace of the Empress Dowager." So you need to have someone with you at all times.

Hearing this, Jiang Ling had no choice but to give up.

But now she wanted to go out of the palace, but she was accompanied by a large group of people, it was really troublesome.

Holding the almanac, Jiang Ling thought for a while, then ran to La Aunt Su Ma, and said aloud that she wanted to go out of the palace to worship the Buddha.

Most of the concubines in this palace love Buddha, Lagu Su Ma is a typical example.Some of these concubines did it for the comfort of their hearts, some sincerely converted to the Buddha, and some purely believed in karma, so the practice of worshiping the Buddha in the palace was once prevalent.Jiang Ling thought that if he used the excuse of "sacrificing incense and worshiping the Buddha" to leave the palace, Aunt Su Ma might let him go out for the sake of the Buddha.

But Lagu Su Ma said with a smile: "There is a small Buddhist hall in the palace. If you are sincere, it is the same to pay respects to the Buddha in the palace."

So Jiang Ling died in depression.

Since Lagu Su Ma couldn't get through this way, Jiang Ling could only start from other places.There are less than two days left, if you want to make a plan, it is best to find a way from the person in charge of the palace.Jiang Ling considered the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and even Emperor Kangxi, and finally decided on the Empress Dowager.

——Why the Queen Mother?

——Because the meaning of the Empress Dowager is the meaning of Aunt Su Ma.

Now the main concubines in the palace, one is the Empress Dowager and the other is the Empress Dowager. As for Jia Yuanchun, who is a noble concubine, she has already been ostracized.After Jiang Ling made up his mind, he found an excuse to go out, walked around the imperial garden, and arrived in front of the Empress Dowager's Palace in a short while.

The excuse she made was to pick petals, so she held a basket and picked them slowly while closing her eyes.

A faint fragrance emanated from Jiang Ling's fingertips, spreading away uncontrollably.The large group of people behind her thought it was the fragrance of flowers in the imperial garden, and didn't think about anything else.While manipulating the scent, Jiang Ling walked around the Queen Mother's bedroom intentionally or unintentionally, creating a wonderful dream.

Jiang Ling had just mastered this ability and was not very proficient in using it. It took a while before he found the right place.

Now it was the time for a nap, the empress dowager was taking a nap in the palace, when she suddenly dreamed of an empty valley.The valley is quiet and far-reaching, echoing with the empty sound of the Buddha's horn, one after another, layer upon layer, as if it will never stop.

The empress dowager knew she was dreaming, but she was already immersed in this wonderful dream, enjoying the peace at this moment.

The mist in the valley receded little by little, revealing a huge hazy silhouette, suddenly it was a Buddhist temple.The melodious sound of the Buddha's horn, accompanied by the curling sandalwood, echoed leisurely in the empty valley.The empress dowager also worshiped the Buddha, so she went to the Buddhist temple and recited the Buddha's name.

In an instant, a large area of ​​colorful auspicious clouds appeared in the sky, accompanied by the melodious sound of the Buddha's horn, surging, unwinding, and floating, like a gorgeous picture scroll.The Empress Dowager looked through the Buddhist temple, and saw those colorful auspicious clouds floating towards this side, and there was a golden rain pattering down.

The golden raindrops hit the Buddhist temple, making an empty and distant sound.

The empress dowager only felt peace in her heart, as if she had never been so peaceful in her life.She closed her eyes and chanted the Buddha's name one after another, with an extremely devout expression.It wasn't until the golden rain stopped that the empress dowager woke up from her dream.

The room was silent.

The empress dowager asked: "I dreamed of a Buddhist temple in my dream. Has any of you seen it?" Then she described its appearance in detail.

The surrounding ladies all looked at each other in blank dismay, claiming that they had never seen her before.So are the eunuchs.The empress dowager was a little disappointed, and asked someone several times without giving up. Only then did she learn from a young eunuch that the emperor's new eunuch was always there and had seen this Buddhist temple.

To be precise, she had been to this Buddhist temple and asked the eminent monks to open a mirror.

The empress dowager was overjoyed when she heard the words, so she approached Jiang Ling on the spot and asked her if she had seen that Buddhist temple.

Jiang Ling was naturally able to cope with it.Because the Buddhist temple in the empress dowager's dream was created by her, and it was exactly the same as the one she had visited before.Let the empress dowager dream of it, just to create a chance for herself.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager said with great joy: "Since you have been to that place before, you might as well go to the temple with me and burn incense sticks to the Buddha."

Jiang Ling naturally agreed.And because the second day was the first day of the lunar new year, it happened to be a good day for offering incense, so choosing a day was better than hitting the sun, and I simply went to that Buddhist temple to offer incense to the Buddha on the second day to show my piety.

Only then did Jiang Ling truly breathe a sigh of relief.

Things are in order.

Early the next morning, which was also the first day of the next month, Jiang Ling followed the empress dowager's car and drove to the outskirts of the city.

The majestic Buddhist temple is hidden among the trees. Although it is a bit inconspicuous, it is indeed the largest Buddhist temple in the suburbs.Jiang Ling accompanied the empress dowager into the Buddhist temple, offered incense again, added incense money, and accompanied him to copy the scriptures for a while, before stealing some free time to go to the toilet, and found a young monk by the way, and asked him if he had seen a A girl of thirteen or fourteen.

The little novice said with a smile: "This is Miss Ling. Donor, please come with me. Donor Lin has been waiting in the temple for half a day."

Jiang Ling was slightly surprised, put his palms together a little bit, lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you, little master."

The little novice led her through the layers of rooms, and came to a room at the end, clasped his hands together, said Amitabha, and left.Jiang Ling gently pushed open the door, and saw white mist curling up from the desk, Xueyan was fanning with a fan, as if she was making tea; Torn it clean.

Jiang Ling called softly: "Ayu."

Lin Daiyu turned her head to see her, gave a small cheer, dropped the pen and ran to Jiang Ling, with sweat dripping from the tip of her nose.Jiang Ling took out the handkerchief, wiped it carefully for her, and then asked with a smile, "When did you arrive?"

Lin Daiyu snorted lightly and said, "I arrived last night and stayed here for one night."

After saying that, Lin Daiyu paused for a moment, and continued: "It's a good thing I came one night earlier, otherwise I would be staring outside the Buddhist temple today. A Ling, don't you know that the empress dowager and the concubine have to clear the place before going out? "There is a faint sense of complaint.

Jiang Ling coughed lightly, and said apologetically, "I forgot."

In fact, Jiang Ling is not a local aborigine, so some common sense is completely half-knowledgeable.

Lin Daiyu complained a little, then took Jiang Ling's hand into the room, let out a sigh of relief and said, "No matter what, I finally saw you. A Ling, you don't know, for more than half a month, I am suffering in the mansion every day, and I really want to twist my hair and become a sister-in-law from now on."

Jiang Ling turned her head and glanced at Xueyan, just in time Xueyan also stopped fanning her fan and nodded slightly, which meant that what the girl said was true.

Jiang Ling looked sideways at Lin Daiyu, and blamed him slightly, "How could you have such an idea?"

Lin Daiyu snorted softly, poked the paper on the desk with the pen, and complained in a low voice: "You are not in the mansion, I don't even have anyone to talk to. They are all around Baoyu, Even Xiangyun, who had just entered the mansion, was holding on to Baoyu, which is puzzling. All the girls in the mansion are coaxing Baoyu, but Baoyu can still hold Baoyu in their hands one by one. I, I don’t care. What about him." After speaking, he stomped his feet lightly, with a hint of resentment on his expression.

Jiang Ling looked carefully for a while, and after confirming that Lin Daiyu was not acting petty, he smiled and said, "Do you not mind Second Master Bao anymore?"

Lin Daiyu got angry for a moment, twisted the back of Jiang Ling's hand severely, and said angrily: "You are making fun of me again!" Turning her back, she ignored her.Xueyan shook her head, continued to fan her fan, and waited for the pot of tea to boil hot before slowly turning off the fire.

Jiang Ling went forward to pour a cup of tea, put it in front of Lin Daiyu, and said with a smile, "Ayu, I was wrong, please forgive me."

Lin Daiyu snorted softly, took the tea, waited for it to cool slightly, then took a sip, and said, "I forgive you."

Jiang Ling just smiled, poured himself a cup of tea, and sipped it slowly.

Unknowingly, Lin Daiyu slowly opened up the conversation, and began to worry about Jiang Ling's situation: "A Ling, how are you doing in the palace? I heard that the palace is gloomy and desolate. But anyone who has entered the palace should not even think about coming out. I also heard that during the general election, the father-in-laws got one card, the household secretary got one card, the harem concubines got one card, and the show girls themselves fought openly and secretly. People were killed. Ah Ling, you—" She looked Jiang Ling up and down for a moment, and when she saw that Jiang Ling was intact, she let out a long breath and said, "Fortunately, Ah Ling, you are fine."

Jiang Ling smiled and said, "I'm very lucky." But for some reason, he remembered that special identity plate.

Maybe that special identity plate back then blocked a lot of disasters for me in a place I didn't know about?

Jiang Ling thought of that sign, Emperor Kangxi, and what General Manager Liang said that day, and felt a little uncomfortable.She put down the teacup, put those thoughts to the back of her mind for the time being, pretending to be relaxed and said with a smile: "Don't mention me anymore, let's talk about yourself. How are you doing in Rongguo Mansion recently? I heard that The family-speaking villa has turned into a Grand View Garden, and most of the girls in the mansion live in the Grand View Garden, but is it true?"

When Lin Daiyu heard this, her eyes turned slightly red suddenly, and she called "A Ling" shyly.

She walked up to Jiang Ling, held Jiang Ling's hand, and said with some crying voice: "They said in private that the Rongguo Mansion spent a lot of money in order to build the Grand View Garden and to promote the official career of the two uncles. The shortfall could not be filled, so we decided on the dowry of the girls. Later, my grandmother told us that although the life in the mansion was a little tighter, it was more than enough compared to others, and the girls’ dowry would definitely not be touched. Dowry. Although life in the mansion is getting tighter day by day, if we carefully increase income and reduce expenditure, we can still get through the difficulties. But for some reason, I always feel that there is something wrong with this. "

Lin Daiyu sobbed a little, then said: "A Ling, I'm afraid."
