Rebirth of Buddhism

Not long after the fraud case had passed, it was a tradition for the palace to have a summer dinner in early summer.

Pick a cool and breezy night, and all the concubines of the palaces will gather together. After the banquet, the emperor and queen mother will reward some things and open the ice storage to make the palaces feel better in this bitter summer.

Fu Zhiyu and Imperial Concubine Yun have been very low-key recently, but this special traditional banquet is hard to refuse, so we have to come.

Lively is very lively, and the food on the table is also very rich.But Fu Zhiyu and his mother Mingdao had already had a delicious meal before they came here, and they couldn't eat any more after they came here. He only took a little fruit, and began to observe the people in the banquet without any trace.

The people are quite neat, and even the queen, who is not usually seen, is here. She is still holding a string of prayer beads in her hand, and she has not eaten. Like a bodhisattva.Mingming and Emperor Qing Yuan sat on a bench, and both of them were sitting far away.

Further down, the queen mother was sitting on one side, and the crown prince Fu Lingxiao was sitting on the other. Fu Lingxiao was naturally diagonally opposite himself and his mother, and after that was Concubine Xue Gui and her two sons.

But later on, the ranking changes.

It was the first time that she was sitting in such a front seat, Concubine Yue didn't show any expression on her face. She lowered her head and was talking to the Eleventh Prince Fu Yanxi, looking very serious, but Fu Zhiyu heard a few words, the two of them were clearly discussing " Is the description of the grassland outside the Great Wall in "Qing Ming Lu" too gorgeous and suspected of piling up rhetoric; Concubine Wen is in the position next to her, feeding rice cakes to the yelling sixteen princes; Concubine Cen is opposite her, with The fifth prince and several daughters, these three are all concubines.

Below the position of concubine are the concubines, headed by the newly-appointed concubine Yi, who is Fu Yanran's biological mother, the former beauty Zhao of Hua Ruixuan.After Fu Yanran received the emperor's attention, she naturally rose up along with her, but her background was too low, so it was a miracle to jump from a beauty to a concubine.

She took her son and quickly moved out of the side hall of Huaruixuan, and moved into the Qinyi Xiaozhu not far from the imperial study room. The concubine Yi saw that she had changed a lot from before, and she bowed her head to talk to Fu Yanran very elegantly. , and his demeanor is not as timid as before, but he is a bit more comfortable.

As a mother, she is strong, she can't let her son go out because of her embarrassment.

After the Yi concubine, there were more people. There were seven or eight concubines, and after that there were nobles, beauties and so on.The number of Fu Qingyan's concubines has been changing, and Fu Zhiyu has not carefully calculated how many there are now.

Among so many people, Fu Yanran has changed the most. He is dressed in rich clothes and looks proud of his youth.He seemed to have noticed Fu Zhiyu's gaze, turned his head, and smiled slightly at Fu Zhiyu, Fu Zhiyu didn't panic, and smiled back at him.

That's great, Fu Zhiyu turned his head slowly, very satisfied with the current state.

Fu Qingyan began to feel flustered, trying to cultivate new forces from the prince, in order to regain his ideal balance.But the more weights he puts in the balance, the more it shakes.

So although Fu Zhiyu didn't like this occasion, what he observed in it made him happy.Moreover, this was a concubine's party, Xie Ke still had to avoid suspicion, he had to stay outside, and finally he didn't have to endure his overly intense gaze, which made Fu Zhiyu feel a lot more relaxed.

When the banquet was coming to an end, the concubines gradually began to leave the table. What Fu Zhiyu didn't expect was that Fu Yanxi who was sitting opposite took advantage of this time to come to her side and secretly stuffed a book for herself under the table.

Fu Zhiyu was puzzled, and asked him in a low voice, "What is this?"

"This is the painting that I copied from Brother Nine, and the copybook," Fu Yanxi whispered in a voice that only two people could hear, with obvious excitement in his tone, "Brother Nine is very good, I can't even imitate it, after all How about just you. My mother and concubine often praise you, saying that you are a Wenqu star descending from the sky, and this world cannot bear you. She also praised the empress Yunhuang, saying that her piano sound is the sound of nature, but it is a pity that now it is only played by the emperor. "

Fu Zhiyu: "..."

What a sincere mother and son, dare to say such words.

But after being in the palace for such a long time, they should have a sense of proportion, at least they can't say this in front of Emperor Qing Yuan.But Emperor Qing Yuan has been frightened recently, and he likes honesty, so it may not be what will happen.

Fu Zhiyu casually flipped through the booklet, it was true, he could still see traces of Fu Yanxi's progress from it.

"But I don't know how to draw or write now," Fu Zhiyu said, "That's what hurts my brain, and I can't do such delicate things."

"I know," Fu Yanxi regretted for a while, and then raised his starry eyes to look at Fu Zhiyu, "but if I can be like Brother Jiu one day, even if it's only for one day, I'll be satisfied."

Before he left, he still looked at Fu Zhiyu reluctantly, and exhorted: "If your brain is broken, you have to study more, do you understand?"

Fu Zhiyu: "...OK."

This pair of mother and son is quite interesting, full of books and books.If they were allowed to go to the Wanshuku of the Imperial Academy, maybe these two would not want to be concubines and princes.

But not everyone wants Fu Zhiyu to be as lenient.

"A bastard born from a lowly maidservant, and a nerd who can't speak beautiful words, these two people actually got on the stage? Is the emperor crazy?"

Concubine Xue Gui had just returned to Linyue Tower from the banquet, she couldn't stop her anger, she directly dropped the teacup in her hand.

"Keep your voice down," Fu Rongye gestured towards her, but he didn't seem to have any fluctuations in his mood, very calm.

After hearing her son's persuasion, Concubine Xue Gui couldn't suppress her anger.

Nanny Gui was naturally dealt with. She caused such a big deal to the Xue family at that juncture, and she couldn't be let go no matter what.

In the end, only Fu Rongli couldn't bear it, at least let her be buried in one piece, instead of being thrown into the mass grave to be eaten by wild dogs.

Linyue Tower lacked this steward, and everything was not going well during this time.The temperature of the tea delivered was not right, and the decorations were unsightly here and there. Concubine Xue Gui was already very angry, but these one or two small things made her even more unhappy.

"Father didn't like Xue's family at first, did he?" Fu Rongye said, "I forced him to be like that before, and he finally got hold of the power with great difficulty. Whether it is given to the prince or to me, he will feel uncomfortable."

Even though the servants had already been sent out long ago, Concubine Xue Gui was still a little nervous when she heard this. After looking around for a week, she couldn't care less about losing her temper.

The absent-minded Fu Rongli who was sitting on the side also knew something was wrong, so he leaned over and asked nervously, "Brother... what do you mean?"

"I originally thought that Fu Zhiyu was our worst enemy, and my father liked him the most, but since that incident, this idea has been dispelled." Fu Rongye glanced at him, and then said, "Actually, we are the same as the prince. His favorite son, because of the other half of our blood, has always made him extremely disgusted."

Concubine Xue Gui was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "But you are still his sons, you were taught by him..."

But she is very clear about what happened before, and she also knows that Fu Rongye is telling the truth.

The Lin family and the Xue family were the two families that first chose Fu Qingyan as their puppets. Even if Fu Qingyan came to power later, he would have no way to uproot the power of the family. He could only get along like this, pretending that those things never happened before.

There are no permanent enemies in the world, only permanent interests.Later, the relationship between the Lin Xue family and the emperor was not bad, and the two sides also took what they needed. Prime Minister Xue was still the prime minister, and General Lin was still famous.

Lin and Xue's family also gradually changed under such circumstances.

Originally, General Lin was in the leading position in the whole matter, he had the military power in his hands, and Prime Minister Xue had to bow his head in front of him.However, Fu Qingyan's growing strength brought some benefits to the Xue family. The Lin family's military power was cut, and Xie Lin poached a large part of their power.Concubine Xue Gui gave birth to two more princes. Fu Rongye's excellence was comparable to that of the prince. The Xue family originally had only a role to cooperate with, but now, they are also able to compete.

Fu Rongye paused for a moment, and dropped another bomb: "Grandpa has a message, he said that General Lin's soldiers have changed."

"The prince wants to...?" Fu Rongli quickly realized, he took a deep breath, "Is he crazy?"

Fu Rongye shook his head and said, "He's not crazy. If you've visited Fu Yanran, you'll know that Fu Lingxiao's doing these things should be his only choice."

Concubine Xue Gui's voice became sharp: "Just relying on that bastard born to the maid? It's just a moment of complacency. What kind of thing is he?"

"Mother Concubine, that bastard born to the palace maid is very smart and quick to learn. The prince must regret it now. He used to treat Shisan as a pawn and throw it away when he used it up. He didn't expect that this child would really be able to enter the emperor's family." In a blink of an eye, the emperor discovered a more important point, that none of us are the best choice," Fu Rongye continued, "The emperor's favorite child is mentally ill, and none of us are very obedient, but Fu Yanran is different. He has no background and is very obedient. He can only rely on the emperor and can be controlled by him forever.

Even if we kill Fu Yanran and there is another candidate, Fu Yanxi, Father will only be more vigilant.From a certain point of view, Fu Yanxi was even more difficult to deal with. Although Grand Master Li was dead, he was everywhere in the world. Many people in the court were his bachelors, and the Li family was not without family background.Concubine Mu, Brother Li, open your eyes and take a look, do you still think these two people are momentarily proud?

In fact, the father's idea has always been very clear. If he can't give the throne to his favorite son, he has to give it to the most obedient one.The prince and I are both phantoms, but we just don't want Xue Lin's family to react too much. "

"He..." Xue Guifei's voice began to tremble, "What do you mean, he will really give the throne to Fu Yanran? To the son of a maid?"

"He is nothing now, but Father is still in good health. He is 46 years old. I don't think it will be difficult to live another ten years. By then, Fu Yanran will be in his early twenties, which will be his best years. Everything will be just right. , why is it impossible?" Fu Rongye said, "Mother Concubine, Fu Lingxiao is smart, this person is like a mouse, he started digging holes before the flood came. Are we really doing nothing?"

There are some difficulties for Concubine Xue to accept these, she never thought that there is still such a method that can be used, this is a big treason, it is a rebellion.

After Fu Zhiyu's brain was broken, she felt that the throne would be handed over to Fu Rongye smoothly, and the prince was just an insignificant episode, just like the Fu Zhiyu she hated, she would eventually be trampled under by her son.

"What does brother want to do?" Fu Rongli was much calmer than him, "I listen to my brother everything."

Fu Rongye moved his fingers, his face darkened, and said: "I said, it's not too late to plan ahead. Grandfather has already started to do it, just wait and see."
