In this room, Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian led a group of concubines from the harem into Ci'an Palace and respectfully bowed to Emperor Tianxi.
"My concubine pays homage to your Majesty!" She whispered softly, as if she were a warbler.
Then--
The emperor had a sullen face and said nothing.
A group of concubines were bent over and did not dare to move.
The atmosphere in the palace became depressing, and there was a sign that a storm was coming.
Zheng Suxin tugged at her handkerchief and didn't dare to breathe.
The sixth princess was also a little scared and sat up straight, not daring to cuddle up to her father.
The imperial concubine looked at her nose with her eyes and her heart with her nose, but she did not dare to speak.
The Queen Mother glanced at Emperor Tianxi, sighed secretly, and said, "They came to pay their respects to the Ai family, and they are also filial."
After drying for a moment, it can be considered as beating.
I have to say that the Queen Mother is really a good mother-in-law.
"If you really have filial piety, go back and copy Buddhist scriptures and pray for your mother!" Emperor Tianxi said in a deep voice.
A group of concubines: "..."
A group of people were stunned.
immediately--
"I obey the decree!" Concubine Shu said first.
The Concubine Xian also said: "I will go back now to burn incense and bathe, copy Buddhist scriptures and pray for my mother. I will retire now."
After saying that, he turned around and left without any regrets.
He even didn't even look at the emperor.
Concubine Shu also said anxiously: "I will go back immediately to copy Buddhist scriptures. I will retire."
After saying that, he turned around and left, very neatly.
Likewise, he didn't even look at the emperor.
The other concubines also said in unison: "I, my concubine, retire."
Whoops, after a while of ringing and jingling, all the concubines left, leaving only the fragrance floating around the palace.
It can be said that it comes in a hurry and goes in a hurry.
Emperor Tianxi: "..."
Yes, these women are quite obedient.
But why do I feel something is not quite right in my heart?
This is going so fast...
Just outside the palace gate, a group of concubines were gathered around. The eldest maid, who was enjoying the lively scene surrounding Xuanyuan Jin, looked at Emperor Tianxi with sympathy.
That, it seems, maybe... the emperor is just being sentimental.
At this time, the imperial concubine stood up and said softly: "Praying for the queen's mother is a big deal. I will go back to open the warehouse and distribute pens, inks, paper, inkstones and other necessary items to each palace. I will retire."
After saying that, he saluted Emperor Tianxi and the Queen Mother, and then left with his daughter and niece.
Emperor Tianxi: "..."
Looking at the back of the imperial concubine walking without any sloppiness, I felt even more wrong.
The Queen Mother said with satisfaction: "These concubines are quite sensible."
It seems that she misunderstood.
These concubines really came to pay their respects to him, but they just happened to meet the emperor.
She just made a special observation, and no one among Concubine Shu and the others looked at the emperor with a look of reluctance, and no one showed any signs of inviting favor. They all behaved in a well-behaved manner...
Everyone looks like they are not fighting over each other...
**
"What a fight!"
As soon as Concubine Shu returned to her palace, she took off her cloak, which was covered with fox fur all around, and casually burst into fragrance.
"I don't even have a son, so who are you going to fight over for? I don't think I'll end up making wedding clothes for others! I won't do such a loss-making business!"
Humph! She is not a fool!
Isn’t it nice to dress up beautifully all day long, listen to music, and raise flowers?
Just put these on your face...
When Concubine Shu thought of those little freckles on her face, she couldn't help but feel depressed.
Just because she had this thing on her face, Concubine Xian would take it out and ridicule her every once in a while...
Concubine Shu couldn't help but sit in front of the dressing table and look at the flowery face in the glass mirror.
On such a beautiful face, you can faintly see small black spots...
With a "pop!" sound, Concubine Shu slammed the glass mirror onto the table.
Humph! Once she has established a relationship with His Highness the Third Highness, the sister of the Third Highness, whose name is unknown, comes to the capital, and the first thing she does is to remove these disgusting things from her face...
Concubine Shu was talking about Sugar Baby coming to the capital soon, and Concubine Xian was also talking about it.
"How was it embroidered?"
Concubine Xian held an embroidery stretcher in her left hand and an embroidery needle in her right hand, constantly studying and trying.
However, the embroidered things always feel much different.
It’s not a feeling, it’s a clarity!
When she thought of the golden unicorn on Xuanyuan Jin's clothes, she felt that it was alive...
And she couldn't embroider at all.
There was a sound of "pop!"
Concubine Xian threw the embroidered stretcher in her hand on the table.
Alas! I don’t know when the third prince’s god-sister will come to Beijing?
**
Suburbs of Beijing.
"Dad, not far ahead is Tianlong Temple."
After Su Laosan finished speaking, he looked at the sky outside through the car window.
Then he said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Beijing in time at this time, so why not rest at Tianlong Temple for one night."
Old Man Su hid the complicated look in his eyes and nodded.
"Just go to Tianlong Temple, just in time to light two everlasting lanterns for your grandfather and grandmother." Old Man Su said.
Su Laosan agreed and told Liu Gui, who was driving outside, to go to Tianlong Temple.
Tenryuji Temple is a royal temple. It is built in a majestic style and has a solemn look.
The steps in front of the mountain gate seem to have no end, and they are all made of white marble.
It is said that the steps in front of the Golden Palace in the palace are made of the same white marble mined.
In this way, as soon as people step onto the steps, they will feel a sense of respect.
Similarly, the incense in Tianlong Temple is also very prosperous.
For this reason, Tianlong Temple has many Zen rooms for temporary accommodation of those who come to offer incense.
Although Old Man Su and his party of dozens of people moved in smoothly after adding some money for sesame oil.
However, Old Man Su and others lived in the outermost Zen room.
If the female relatives of a wealthy family come to offer incense, they will usually send someone to take care of it in advance and decide on the Zen courtyard inside.
At this time, the innermost monasteries were all occupied by the female relatives of Prince Cheng'en.
These people came to Tianlong Temple for no other reason than to seek a child.
"The Concubine, Concubine Zhang, Concubine Li and others have all gone to the main hall in front to kneel down and pray to the Bodhisattva for blessings so that they can get pregnant and have children as soon as possible. Let's go quickly." A young maid said excitedly.
Said to a beautiful lady in her thirties.
The beautiful lady, Concubine Liu of Chengen Palace, heard the words and said calmly: "Don't worry, you take some money to the dining room, let the chefs in the dining room make some plain cakes, and then bring some
Bring the tea to Concubine Zhang and others. They are sincere and may have to kneel for a long time. Don’t be exhausted."
After listening to Concubine Liu's words, the little maid said worriedly: "Concubine Concubine, you are so considerate of them, but if they give birth to a son, wouldn't it be a burden on you if the prince raises them as a concubine?
What should you do?"
"Of course I respect her as a princess and fulfill the duties of a concubine." Concubine Liu said with an unchanging expression: "Besides, at my age, I am not as young as them. It is very important to give birth to Lin'er for the palace.
Rely on them."
As long as someone can give birth to an heir for the palace, let alone the position of a concubine, she will be happy to let her become a monk and practice Buddhism for the rest of her life.
After all, the little girl was young, so she said straightforwardly: "Concubine, you are not very old, you are only in your early thirties. My mother was already in her forties when she gave birth to me, so you will definitely be able to give birth to me! Besides, you can still give birth to me!"
The prince has always valued you, and if you gave birth to a son for the prince, the prince might be very happy..."
So, let’s go and seek help from Bodhisattva!

ps: Ye Zi feels that it is better to pray for blessings than to pray for Bodhisattvas. What do you think?
Friends who like Wenwen, don’t forget to support Ye Zi by watching the short video, hehe...
