The Favoured Medical Princess: 485 into the urn
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
The imperial edict brought by An Yihou gave King Zhennan a headache for a long time. In just five days, he even invited his close aides to discuss it privately several times. In the end, the result of the discussion was that the emperor's order cannot be violated - in the final analysis, as long as If King Zhennan doesn't intend to rebel, he still has to listen to the emperor.
The King of Zhennan really didn’t want to fight Baiyue anymore, and he was also afraid of it. Fortunately, Tang Qinghong was thoughtful and took the initiative to make suggestions for the King of Zhennan, suggesting that he use Nanliang as an entry point...
After hearing Tang Qinghong’s good advice, the King of Zhennan suddenly became energetic and believed it. He quickly invited Guan Yubai to come and explained it righteously. For example, after the Baiyue War the year before last, southern Xinjiang The army suffered a lot of losses, and its vitality is still damaged to this day; for example, the battle with Nanliang is still stalemate, and there are not enough troops in Southern Xinjiang, so it is really unable to start a war with Baiyue; for example, if there is a war between two sides, once the situation is unfavorable for one side, Putting southern Xinjiang in a situation where there are no troops to mobilize...
The essence of every word is one word - drag!
To be honest, King Zhennan was really unsure. He didn’t know if Guan Yubai would take the opportunity to embarrass himself and write a letter to the emperor for reference.
What I didn’t expect was——
"What the prince said is true." Guan Yubai stroked his sleeves with his slender fingers and looked at Zhennan Wangdao with a smile, "Spreading the troops is definitely not something a wise man does."
The King of Zhennan was very pleased with Guan Yubai's consideration, and thought to himself: After all, Guan Yubai is a disciple of a general who has been on the battlefield, unlike those civil servants who clearly don't know how to fight and still have to dictate in the court!
The King of Zhennan breathed a sigh of relief obviously, and said enthusiastically: "The Marquis can live in the palace with peace of mind, and he can stay for as long as he likes!"
Guan Yubai bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." After a pause, he said: "Your Majesty, the thousand elite soldiers brought by this trip are stationed outside the southern border. I wonder if Your Majesty can allow them to come. Luoyue City?"
The King of Zhennan hesitated for a moment, but he thought that the thousand elite soldiers were brought by the emperor after all. If they were not allowed to enter southern Xinjiang, I am afraid the emperor would also have doubts... and Guan Yubai Since calling Luo Yuecheng, everything he has done has been reasonable, and he should not embarrass him in such trivial matters.
With just a thousand elite soldiers, how could they cause waves in southern Xinjiang!
The king of Zhennan made a decision and agreed.
Marquis An Yi came all the way from the royal capital and lived in the Zhennan Palace. Word soon spread in Luoyue City, and various mansions couldn't help but speculate about his purpose. Some even mentioned that it was for Zhennan. Came here to celebrate the king's fortieth birthday. There were also mansions close to Bixiaotang who came to test the situation, but still found nothing. The only thing they knew was that the Crown Princess was going to the Great Buddha Temple to pray for the Crown Prince and the people on the southeastern border.
Praying for blessings is a good thing!
So, as soon as the ladies returned to the house, they got ready and went to pray.
But think about it, if they were so shameless and insisted on going with the Crown Princess, or if they went all the way to meet him by chance that day, it would be too contrived. I am afraid that the Crown Princess would not take a liking to him, so they planned to wait until the Crown Princess came back before going. to express their sincerity.
Unconsciously, all the large and small mansions in Luo Yuecheng began to be busy praying for blessings, especially Zhennan Palace, which took the lead.
The fifty sets of monk's robes donated by the monks were completed overnight.
The carp is ready for release.
The vegetarian dishes for alms have been ordered and are being purchased.
Even the girls and young men in Nangong Yuerang's mansion have completed seventy-seven or eighty-eight copies of the Tripitaka. Especially Xiao Fei, who regards copying as a calligraphy practice, was the first to complete it and couldn't wait to take it with him. The finished copy of the Tripitaka has arrived.
Xiao Fei has always been attentive and focused on her work, and her scriptures are naturally copied very neatly.
"Sister Fei, your regular script has improved again." Nangong Yue praised sincerely, "When you start the pen, you don't show the edge, the traces are hidden, the edge is hidden, and the edge is hidden in the painting. Flexible."
Xiao Fei smiled lightly. In order to copy this "Ksitigarbha Sutra" well, she worked hard.
Xiao Fei picked up another copy and handed it to Nangong Yue and said, "Sister-in-law, this is copied by my second brother."
Nangong Yue turned over a page at random, was startled, and said with a look of surprise on her face: "Second uncle's small regular script is very good." Xiao Fei used the Tibetan pen, and Xiao Luan used the square pen. The pen has edges and corners, and when written well, it can give people a strong, vigorous, and solemn feeling. Of course, Xiao Luan is still far from it, but the shape of the characters is already good.
Xiao Fei took a sip of hot tea and complained: "Sister-in-law, you haven't seen what the second brother copied the first time. I went to his study a few days ago and found that his writing was crooked. , and even made wrong words, so I asked him to copy it again... Then I checked again and found that he had made great progress. At first, the second brother was still mysterious and refused to tell me. I asked him again and again, and he I just said that I asked An Yihou for advice." As she said that, Xiao Fei's expression was a little strange. To be honest, when she heard her second brother say this, she almost didn't dare to believe her ears.
But the second brother is still plausibly talking, and he has nothing to say. He sees An Yihou as gentle and elegant, with an excellent temperament, and his handwriting must be excellent. I don’t know what the absurdity is.
However, Marquis An Yi is indeed a Marquis of An Yi. Even his second brother, a rotten wood, can be trained.
Nangong Yue could not hide her surprise. Xiao Luan really... made her not know what to say.
At this time, Huamei came into the house and said, the second girl is here.
After a while, Xiao Rongxuan, who was wearing a four-color light monochromatic willow pattern braid, entered the room under the guidance of the maid. Her eyes first fell on Xiao Fei, and then she saw the two volumes placed on the table. I froze for a moment while copying the scriptures by hand, secretly regretting that I was a step too late, but fortunately...
A glint of pride flashed in Xiao Rongxuan's eyes, and she continued to move forward as if nothing had happened, saluting Nangong Yue and Xiao Feifu: "I've met my eldest sister-in-law, my eldest sister."
After she sat down on the armchair opposite Xiao Fei, she said: "Sister-in-law, I specially sent the copied scriptures here today." After saying that, she asked the maid to present two things. .
At the same time, Xiao Rongxuan continued: "Sister-in-law, I also painted a statue of Guanyin and asked my sister-in-law to worship it together."
Nangong Yue casually flipped through the scriptures copied by Xiao Rongxuan. Not to mention Xiao Rongxuan's character, she did write well in small regular script with hairpin flowers. The entire scripture is copied neatly and neatly.
Also, her statue of Avalokitesvara was obviously made with great effort. It shows the kind-hearted Avalokitesvara, holding a jade vase with one hand and a willow tree with the other. Her face is beautiful, delicate and dignified, her eyes are downcast, the corners of her mouth are slightly upturned, and she has a faint hint of smile. smile, with a peaceful and kind expression.
It just looks a bit familiar...
Nangong Yue smiled slightly and said: "Second sister's Guanyin statue is painted with a majestic appearance. The hairpin in one hand is elegant and graceful, and the small regular script is clear and graceful. The calligraphy is good, and the painting is also good."
"As long as sister-in-law likes it." Xiao Rongxuan was very proud of being praised by Nangong Yue. In terms of talent and learning, she would not lose to her sister!
Xiao Rongxuan smiled as brightly as a spring flower and said: "Sister-in-law, I painted this Guanyin statue after the portrait of my mother and concubine left in the ancestral hall."
In the current Zhennan Palace, the only person who can be honored as "mother concubine" is the late Dafang.
Nangong Yue was startled. She had also seen the portrait of the Dafang family. No wonder when she saw the face of the Guanyin statue, she felt a little familiar. She sighed in her heart: This Xiao Rongxuan is indeed very thoughtful.
"Second sister is interested." Nangong Yue said lightly.
"Sister-in-law, thank you." Xiao Rongxuan looked happy, feeling that she would leave a good impression on her sister-in-law this time.
A flash of embarrassment flashed in her eyes. In the past few days, many ladies from the palace have come to the palace. The eldest sister-in-law must be telling her eldest sister about the marriage. It's also my turn.
What the aunt is saying is that the madam is no longer useful in the palace now. Even the eldest sister, who has always pretended to be noble, is busy trying to please her sister-in-law for the sake of her future. She can't be confused!
In the next few days, other people's scriptures were copied one after another.
What surprised Nangong Yue was that although the third girl, Xiao Ni, was young, her handwriting was very graceful and fluent. The scriptures on each page were written in one go. As the saying goes, you can tell a person by the words. I think my second aunt Qiu must have loved her daughter Xiao Ni's discipline is quite strict.
As for the other books, they have no merit or fault.
On August 31st, the weather was sunny and cloudless.
Early in the morning, Nangong Yue took a few maids and four or five palace guards and set out from the East Street gate. Although there were not many people accompanying him, they planned to donate monk robes to the monks, release carps, etc. Enough to load several carriages,
The Great Buddhist Temple is located at the foot of Litong Mountain, seven or eight miles outside Luoyue City. It is the largest Buddhist temple near Luoyue City. Although many people in southern Xinjiang believe in Mazu, there are also many who believe in Buddhism. The Great Buddha Temple is full of incense every day.
At chen shi, the group arrived at the Great Buddha Temple.
Baihui helped Nangong Yue get out of a green-covered carriage, and saw many monks standing at the entrance of the temple. In order to donate monk robes, Nangong Yue sent someone to the Great Buddha Temple in the name of Xiao Mansion ten days ago. The monks tailor their clothes to suit their needs, so the abbot knew that Mrs. Xiao was coming to the temple today to pray, give alms, and provide monk robes, so he personally took the monks out of the temple early in the morning to greet her.
The host wore a scarlet-bottomed cassock with flat gold embroidery, held a gilt two-strand six-ring Zen staff in one hand, and stroked his gray beard with the other. He walked down the stairs and greeted him.
After greeting each other, the host personally led Nangong Yue and his party to the Palace of Heavenly Kings.
The Great Buddha Temple is indeed a big temple. Many pilgrims come to offer incense early in the morning. Incense is lingering inside. From time to time, pilgrims and monks come forward to pay homage to the host.
Go north through the three-hole stone bridge on the third road, and then bypass a magnificent double dragon screen wall, which is the Temple of the Heavenly King.
In the center of the hall is a huge gilt bronze Maitreya Buddha statue, with the four heavenly kings on the left and right. As soon as you enter the hall, you will be greeted by a solemn atmosphere.
Nangong Yue entered the main hall from the left side of the gate with the host, without squinting, with a pious and respectful expression on her face. She walked slowly to a futon, bowed three times, then knelt on the futon with her hands clasped together and her eyes closed to pray.
The hall was quiet, with only Nangong Yue and a few female pilgrims praying devoutly to the Buddha...
After worshiping the Buddha, I donated money for sesame oil and offered robes to the monks...
The commotion here was so loud that it attracted many people who were worshiping Buddha in the temple to come and watch and talk about it.
An old woman with chicken skin and white hair sighed: "Providing monks with robes is a great merit."
"Yes, yes!" A middle-aged woman next to the old woman clasped her palms together and said piously, "If you offer monk's robes, you will get a solemn body, a strong body, and a pure body. You will be blessed in the next life. ." After saying that, he recited Amitabha again.
While the two were talking, a male voice from behind curiously interjected and asked: "Sister, do you know which family this is? Such a big gesture has actually donated monk robes to all the monks in the temple. !"
The middle-aged woman turned her head to look curiously, and saw a tall young man with dark skin, not a handsome face, but he seemed to be quite energetic.
The middle-aged woman is usually kind to others and said kindly: "I heard from the monks in the temple that it looks like a family named Xiao."
Following that, the old woman also said: "I heard that their family is praying in the temple today, and they will also donate vegetarian food later. Little brother, if you have time, why not stay a little longer. The same goes for the vegetarian food at the Great Buddha Temple. Famously, if you want to eat vegetarian food on weekdays, you have to donate incense money..."
"Thank you, eldest sister." The young man said sweetly, "Then I will stay in the temple longer."
The old woman and the middle-aged woman left quickly chatting and laughing, but there were still many idle people around who lingered. The young man stared at Nangong Yue not far away in the crowd for a while, and then disappeared quietly. He retreated step by step silently, retreating out of the crowd without leaving a trace.
There was a century-old tree at the rear that only three or four people could embrace. The young man hurriedly walked around behind the big tree and lowered his voice to the bearded man wearing a bamboo hat hiding behind the tree: "Lieutenant General, don't worry, we didn't do anything this time." Wrong! It must be the Crown Princess of Zhennan." In fact, in the morning, their people watched the carriage drive out of the palace, but Vice General Tashi Duoji was worried...
Tashi Duoji narrowed his sharp eyes, nodded, and walked away quickly, leaving only the young man standing behind the tree, staring at Nangong Yue from a distance.
At this time, the crowd gradually dispersed, and Nangong Yue and his party, led by a seven or eight-year-old novice monk, went west and bypassed the Temple of the Heavenly King.
The little novice monk led Nangong Yue to wander around the temple, including the Dabei Pavilion, Mani Hall, Zhuanlunzang Pavilion...
Unconsciously, it was already past half time, and the sun was rising higher and higher, making it scorching and dazzling.
The Great Buddha Temple is a century-old temple. The temple is shaded by big trees. Walking under the shade of the trees is quite shady.
While leading the way, the little novice monk pretended to be mature and solemnly introduced the scenery in the temple to everyone. For example, there is a bamboo forest in the southwest; There is a statue of Guanyin giving birth to children on the hanging mountain. Many pilgrims come here to ask for children...
When an accompanying little maid heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up. She pulled Baihui's sleeves and reminded her in a low voice, "Sister Baihui, do you want me to let Mrs. Shi... go and pay homage to the Guanyin statue?" As the maid spoke, she thought to herself that with the looks of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, the young Crown Prince will definitely look very cute in the future!
Although the little maid spoke in a low voice, Nangong Yue was just a few feet away, so she couldn't hear her. Her fair face was stained with crimson.
Nangong Yue didn’t need to speak, but from her eyes, Baihui already knew her master’s thoughts, and said to the little novice monk with a smile: “Little master, please take us to the Guanyin Hall to worship.”
"Yes, donor." The little novice monk responded and led them all the way to the northwest. A stone path snaked forward across a bamboo forest. It had a somewhat winding and deep feel, and it was quiet and far-reaching. The main hall and pavilions are hidden among thick shades and sparse shadows.
After passing through the bamboo forest, the young novice monk pointed ahead and said, "Mrs. Xiao, in front of you is the Guanyin Hall."
When we arrived in front of the Guanyin Hall, there were obviously more pilgrims nearby, and most of them were young women. It seemed that they all came to beg for children.
After the pilgrims in front came out, Nangong Yue followed the young novice into the hall. There were many colorful Guanyin murals painted in the Guanyin Hall, and in the center was a huge colorful clay statue of Guanyin. Guanyin came on the clouds, with a beautiful and tranquil face. , The posture is elegant and dignified. Under the willow eyebrows, a pair of intelligent eyes looked down slightly, hugging a child with his hands as if giving away.
Nangong Yue straightened her back and knelt on the futon, lowering her eyes to pray, her cheeks so red that they were about to bleed.
Actually, it was a little early for her to ask for a child.
As a doctor, she knows best that she is only fifteen years old and has not yet reached the best time to have a child...
It’s just...
They will have their own children one day.
Ayi said that he wants a female doll that looks like himself!
She is even more greedy and wants a boy doll like A Yi!
Whether it’s a boy or a girl, he will be her and Ayi’s darling!
She said to herself in her heart that it was not good to just hold on to the Buddha for a while, so she had better start praying early and let the Bodhisattva know her piety.
Nangong Yue opened her eyes, her obsidian eyes sparkling with brilliance, and her heart was filled with anticipation.
She was about to get up when she heard a soft female voice coming from beside her: "Thank you Bodhisattva for sending me Lin'er. I believe that I am here to fulfill my wish..."
Nangong Yue followed the sound and saw a young woman in blue cloth kneeling on a futon separated from her, with her palms clasped together. The most eye-catching thing was her round belly, which seemed to be at least six or seven years old. months.
Nangong Yue stood up and walked out of the Guanyin Hall.
After walking through most of the temple, Nangong Yue was still looking bright. She was about to ask the little novice monk to take them to the Forest of Steles again. The pregnant woman in green clothes also walked out of the temple, but her steps seemed a little staggering and her body was swaying. , as if he was about to fall down at any time.
Just when the pregnant woman in Tsing Yi was about to pass by Nangong Yue, her body shook again and she fell softly to the ground.
Baihui stepped forward quickly and grabbed the pregnant woman in Tsing Yi, "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
The eyelashes of the pregnant woman in Qingyi trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her still confused eyes. She blinked and seemed to recall something. She rubbed her temples and said, "Thank you, girl... I'm just a little dizzy." ”
Nangong Yue asked softly: "Can I go to the side room to rest for a while? I have some medical skills, and I can also check my sister-in-law's pulse."
"No, it's really hot today. I must have suffered from heatstroke." The pregnant woman in Qingyi shook her head and said weakly, "Madam, my mother-in-law is in a pavilion in front. If If it's convenient, madam, could you please give me a ride?" She pointed to a green and quiet bamboo forest in front of her on the right.
The little novice monk immediately said: "The pavilion is not far away, just behind the bamboo forest."
"The Crown Princess." Huamei reminded with some embarrassment, "It's almost noon, it's time to donate vegetarian food, why not let the slaves take this sister-in-law back."
The pregnant woman in Qingyi suddenly looked a little nervous. Just as she was about to speak, Nangong Yue shook her head and said: "I'm afraid this sister-in-law will faint on the way, so I'll take her off. Huamei, Ying'er, you take a few of them with you. Master, go and prepare Suzhai, Baihui, and Queer together. You two can send this sister-in-law there with me."
Several maids responded to their orders.
The pregnant woman in Qingyi thanked her repeatedly, and with Baihui's support, she slowly walked towards the bamboo forest.
The area around the bamboo forest is very clean and there are not many pilgrims. I can only hear the rustling of the bamboo leaves in the wind from time to time...
The pregnant woman in Qingyi was very grateful and took the initiative to chat with Nangong Yue along the way. She claimed that her surname was Wang and she had been married to her husband for five years but had no children. At the beginning of the year, she came to the Great Buddha Temple to ask for a child. Unexpectedly, she got her wish. Today I came here specially with my mother-in-law to fulfill my wish.
"Thanks to Madam's kindness today, otherwise..." As she said this, she put her hand on her belly, feeling a little worried.
"It's just a little effort." Nangong Yue said with a smile.
"Madam, the pavilion is right in front." The pregnant woman in Tsing Yi pointed her hand in front, and saw a hexagonal pavilion looming among the dense bamboo forest. From here, it was only a few hundred steps away. Maybe it was because As she was almost there, her steps couldn't help but become a little brisker.
Nangong Yue stopped and said, "Sister-in-law of the Wang family, are you feeling better?"
The pregnant woman in Qingyi paused, "I'm still a little dizzy, but she should be fine."
"Since it's okay, let's send it here." Nangong Yue said calmly, "It's not far anyway. I believe that the Wang family's sister-in-law can go there by herself."
"Madam, please stay." As soon as the pregnant woman in Qingyi spoke, her feet went weak and she almost fell again. She smiled weakly, "Madam, look at me like this, it's really... ”
Nangong Yue seemed a little hesitant. Before the pregnant woman in Qingyi could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard her say again: "Sister-in-law of the Wang family, let me check your pulse. You don't look like you have heatstroke. Maybe you have moved the fetus." Angry."
"Don't bother Madam." The pregnant woman in Qingyi smiled and said, "My mother-in-law is right in front..."
"Sister-in-law of the Wang family." Nangong Yue looked at her, her voice soft, but with a dignity that seemed to be inherent in her body, "Are you really pregnant?"
The pregnant woman in Tsing Yi was startled and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "What does Madam mean by this?"
"A mother should be most worried about the child in her belly. According to what you said, you have only had this baby five years after you were married, so you should be even more nervous. But..." Nangong Yue paused deliberately and said, "First of all, you are already very old, but your mother-in-law came with you obviously, but she is not with you. Secondly, I said that you may have had fetal motility. Ordinary people are afraid before it is too late, but you still don't want to let it go. I checked my pulse. I, the maid, just deliberately quickened my pace for the third time, but you were able to keep up easily. Especially when you saw the pavilion, you went a little faster... After thinking about it, I'm afraid there is only one reason for this. You are so The fetus is actually fake!"
The pregnant woman in Qingyi looked stiff for a moment and thought to herself: She was careless. I didn’t expect that the Crown Princess of Zhennan would be so smart!
With a sinister look on her face, she quickly took out a small copper whistle and put it to her lips, sending a signal.
Immediately afterwards, she grabbed Nangong Yue with her right hand like an eagle's claw, and a flash of determination flashed in her eyes. Even if the arrangement is discovered, no matter what happens, the Princess of Zhennan cannot escape now! Let her, Alia, be the first to make this move!
Aliya's shot was as fast as the wind, and she was only a few feet away from Nangong Yue in the blink of an eye, but someone moved faster than her, and a blue figure flashed past the corner of her eyes. Baihui sneered, and as fast as lightning, he struck at the pregnant woman in Tsing Yi. The bright wrist...
Aliya's face was as heavy as water, and she turned her claws into palm blades and slashed at Baihui.
Baihui swept her legs to attack Aliya's lower body. At the same time, she took out a soft whip from her waist, raised her right wrist, and struck out with the whip like a long snake, forcing her to take several steps back.
Baihui didn't intend to get entangled with the other party. She took Nangong Yue's hand with her left hand and ran forward hurriedly, "Prince Princess, let's go quickly!" Que'er followed closely.
Aliya stood firm and threw away the fake belly. Just as she was about to chase after him, she heard messy footsteps coming from behind, followed by a deep voice, "Where is the person?"
Alia turned around and saw that the deputy general was bringing people over. She quickly raised her finger and pointed ahead, "Lieutenant general, right in front!"
"Chase!"
Tashi Duoji gave the order, and the group of people jumped forward and chased forward quickly.
The bamboo forest here is dense, and they originally thought they would not be so eye-catching. However, at this moment, they feel that the dense bamboo forest is very inconvenient, and it will hide each other's figure from time to time. Fortunately, they are all experts who are one in a hundred, and they finally did not lose the person. Moreover, as the distance between the two parties got closer, it became clear that Nangong Yue was stumbling with the support of her maid who knew kung fu. Run forward.
Suddenly, Nangong Yue's foot seemed to trip on something and she fell to the ground.
After only a moment of delay, Tashi Duoji and his party had successfully approached.
"The Crown Princess." Tashi Duoji said proudly, "You can't run away anymore. Come with us."
"Really?"
Nangong Yue raised her head, and to Tashi Duoji's surprise, there was no trace of panic on her face. Instead, she raised her lips and smiled, "I will return this sentence to you, you can't run away anymore. ..."
