Chapter 679 Three in One(1/3)

The concubine's son Gaomen 63

Emperor Yongkang should still have a sense of awe of gods and Buddhas.

Perhaps because of this reason, he did not ask Lin Yutong to kneel in the hall to pray for the late emperor, but instead beat Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master on the grounds that he could not bear to see Lin Yutong get cold. It was not his own daughter, who could deceive the world, but he could not deceive the gods and Buddhas. When Lin Yutong received this order, she thought so in her heart. Because she thought of this, she did not hypocritically say at all that she wanted to copy Buddhist scriptures for the late emperor in the monastery. Even if she wrote it, Emperor Yongkang would not dare to take it in front of the Buddha, so why bother to cause trouble for others?

The queen frowned and said to the prince: "What does the emperor mean?" Being able to pray for elders is the glory of being children and grandchildren. Why did Yun Yin be excluded?

The prince had something else hidden in his heart, but he didn't care much about it. In his opinion, Emperor Yongkang had always been like this. When he was good to the Gan family for more than ten years, there was no other woman around him. When he had Li Cairen, he wanted to just stay in Li Cairen's palace. Naturally, he was the same with Yun Yin. He wanted to come up and think about everything for her. But he couldn't say this to the queen. Therefore, he just said perfunctorily: "There is no genealogy in the end." If he did not list the genealogy, he would not be recognized by the royal family. If the royal family did not recognize it, then the ancestors and ancestors naturally did not know that there was such a descendant.

When the queen thought, this was reasonable, "Gan Quan didn't know what he thought, but he compromised with the clan in this matter."

The prince felt a little confused about the queen's thoughts. She was looking forward to the Gan family's mother and daughter, or not to the mother and daughter. He didn't know how to follow this sentence.

Madam Zhang seemed to see the prince's embarrassment and continued: "Grandmaster, there are many poor disciples living in this temple. Your Majesty did not issue an order to clean up the temple. Many people outside kowtowed to the hall. I am afraid that the prince will deal with the matter outside..." Don't just hold the prince and say that there are so many things.

The queen then suddenly realized: "Look at me, my mind is getting worse and worse now. Let's go and do it."

The prince quickly got up: "The vegetarian food in the temple is good, so I ask someone to serve my mother and I will use it."

As he said that, he nodded to Madam Zhang, turned around and strode outward.

When the prince left, the queen's face showed a little sadness: "The prince to me... originally looked very good. But when Yun Yin waited for Ganquan, I felt that there was always something missing."

Madam Zhang thought to herself, isn’t this a competition? The one who is kinship is just kinship. Even if the one who is not kinship has raised it since childhood, he can still support the kinship. The prince has grown up and has such a big son, so how can he really support the kinship? Instead of treating it as a son, it is better to treat it as a person who can cooperate, so as not to be sad in the future. But even if this is said, the queen may not love to listen to it, so she could only say, “This son is different from her daughter.” As she said that, she whispered, “If you are really bored, I will look at it, the eldest girl is good. If you come into the palace, I will accompany you to relieve your boredom.”

The eldest girl in Madam Zhang said that the eldest girl of the Li family is the eldest daughter of the queen's brother and the niece of the queen.

The queen glanced at Madam Zhang, "You have been with me for half your life. What did you think?"

Madam Zhang felt a little sad, but she still said, "In fact, it is good to choose a girl from the Li family as the crown princess, but if it fails, it is also good to have a concubine. At least it is close to you." It further consolidates the relationship between the queen and the crown prince.

The queen closed her eyes and shook her head gently: "This matter... is not possible! I have suffered losses from the side room for half my life, and there is no reason to cause trouble for my daughter-in-law. I still understand the principle of not doing to others what I do not want others to do to you. If I do this for me, I cannot agree. Just do it like this."

"If you are not a girl from the Li family, there will always be other people's girls." Madam Zhang advised again, "You are like this..." She always doesn't persist when she should, and insists when she should not persist. The people who make trouble are at a loss.

The queen stood up and went to the inner room without the help of Madam Zhang. "It's someone else's business to make trouble, but the person who caused trouble cannot be me."

Madam Zhang stood there, remembering the old lady's words she asked someone to hand them over, she could only smile bitterly.

The queen had committed a crime and no one was cured.

But when the prince went out, he did not meet any poor students. He met many of them in the capital. He had this attitude and became aware of this. He saw more and more, and the emperor was afraid that he should have ideas.

He glanced at the Main Hall, then turned around and returned to the Zen Temple arranged for him.

After entering the room, Jixiang whispered: "Your Highness, do you want to send him a message?"

Jin Yunshun paced around the house with some annoyance, walked back and forth several times before saying, "Are you sure it's safe?"

Jixiang nodded: "Confirm. There will definitely be no mistakes."

Jin Yunshun gritted his teeth and said, "Go. Go and send him a message. Tell him to be careful and come over again in the evening."

Jixiang responded, bowed and walked out.

Jin Yunshun turned around, looked at the big word "Buddha" written on the wall, then slowly knelt down, picked up the Buddhist beads beside the cushion, and slowly turned them.

Jixiang went quickly and came back quickly, "Your Highness, it's done."

Jin Yunshun responded lightly, then stopped talking and began to recite the scriptures intently.

Li Yutong was chewing dried beans in her mouth, but her ears were listening to the Fourth Master talking to Guiwu.

"The master called the surveillance man, and he had not changed any abnormality yet." Guiwu whispered: "It was a little bit of other clues that I accidentally found."

The Fourth Master said 'yes' and signaled Guiwu to continue talking.

Guiwu glanced at the Fourth Master and whispered: "It's a tall and thin eunuch beside the prince, named Jixiang. Today he went to the kitchen to call the prince vegetarian food. When he came out, he ran into a mute monk who was growing vegetables in the back garden. He cursed a few words, threw a purse at the monk, saying that he had apologized."

Lin Yutong nodded. Guiwu was indeed thoughtful.

The people around the master all had a clear division of labor. Although Xi Jixiang was the one who was serving the meals around the prince before, after he was promoted, who would dare to ask him to run errands? He ran to the kitchen by himself, and even ran into a mute monk who grew vegetables. The monk who grew vegetables ran to the kitchen: "Do you deliver vegetables to the kitchen?"

In this winter, the monk who grows vegetables should rest.

Guiwudao: "The vegetable cellar is also under the supervision of the monks who grow vegetables. They will take out the vegetables every day and send them to the kitchen. But the amount today, Master Huotou said, is enough. He is still muttering, how do you work in the kindergarten today, and no matter how you count it, you won't count it right."

So, this should not be a matter of no counting, but a special connection.

One is the person around the prince and the other is a monk who grows vegetables. Is there any connection between the two?

As he was talking, Sanxi came over: "Master, the Empress asked you to go there."

Gan wants to see him?

Lin Yutong glanced at the Fourth Master, "Then I'll go there."

The Fourth Master responded. When Lin Yutong went out, she vaguely heard the Fourth Master telling Guiwu something.

Gan was not very sincere about praying for the late emperor. Lin Yutong felt this way as soon as he entered the house. At this time, Gan was leaning on the couch and eating the pine nuts peeled by the girls, which was very comfortable.

Seeing Lin Yutong coming in, she waved her hand and pushed Lin Yutong over, "This is from a thousand-year-old pine tree in the temple, try it." Her expression seemed to be able to live for thousands of years after eating this thing. She really thought it was Tang Monk's meat.

Lin Yutong didn't give Gan's kindness, and sat aside and ate, "You asked me to come here to eat this?"

Gan smiled: "It's so good to be with the prince consort. It's hard to get along with it for a moment."

Lin Yutong smiled and stopped talking. After a long time, she said, "I'm just afraid that the emperor will come again and it will be inconvenient for me to be here."

Gan sneered: "He repented in front of the Buddha. He didn't care about anything else." As he said that, he looked at Lin Yutong, "You and the prince consort are also going to be filial. Many people must be urging you to have children. But I will say it to you again here. No matter what others say, don't panic. When you get older, you will be nice to you and your children."

Why did you mention the child again? I didn’t have a hurry at all? Could it be that what Marquis Jing'an said to the Fourth Master and made people know? No, right?

Lin Yutong remained silent on her face, "I'm not in a hurry. Don't worry. Besides, no one is here to urge me. If I don't give birth or can't give birth, it's a good thing for some people."

Gan glared at Lin Yutong, "It's good that you think so. As long as you are healthy and harmonious, how can you not have children? Don't learn from such a stupid woman, what about burning incense and worshiping Buddha and praying to children, and making trouble."

Lin Yutong responded, but felt that Gan's advice was really inexplicable. Not to mention that she was not such a person, she was really anxious, so she asked God and Buddha to be at ease. As long as it didn't hinder anything, it wouldn't matter. Why did she argue with herself as a serious matter? Could it be that she had gone out and had no comments to criticize her?

She kept this doubt in her heart and agreed without any trouble.

Madam He came in, smiled at Lin Yutong, and added a cup of tea. Lin Yutong noticed that after she entered the door, she first exchanged gaze with Gan.

Lin Yutong was full of doubts, but she still pretended not to know and continued to drink tea and eat pine nuts.

Gan waved his hand to Madam He, "I took out all the pine nuts sent from the temple and asked someone to send them to her. I asked her to talk to me, either eating or drinking, and my mind was not on me at all. I would be beaten early and I would save it from being bothered by me."

This is just a raid.

Lin Yutong didn't argue, and smiled loudly, "The people in this temple can't even do a job of face. I'll send you a bag, or at least give me a basket. If you don't say it, I don't know that there is this good thing on the mountain..."

After laughing and jokingly coming out of Gan's yard and bypassing the two halls, Lin Yutong stopped and turned around and said, "Did my sachet fall into the house just now..."

Sanxi looked at Lin Yutong's waist and found that there was nothing, "Or what if I go back and ask Madam He."

"Maybe it's not necessarily the way we came." Lin Yutong said to Sanxi, "The area we live in has been cleared a long time ago, and no outsiders will walk around. You follow the way we came and find it back. I'll go back to see if it's with my mother."

"Can no one follow me?" Sanxi said worriedly.

"Okay!" Lin Yutong urged her to leave, "There are all clearances here. Besides, we have lived in the temple for so long, who doesn't know me? What can I do? Are you afraid that I will get lost?"

Sanxi smiled, then raised her foot and walked back, "I'll pick up my master when I look back."

Seeing Sanxi leave, Lin Yutong closed the smile on her face and returned to the yard where Gan's family lived.

Before she could reach the gate of the yard, she saw Madam He walking out. She flashed and hid behind the pine trees beside her. In a short while, Madam He came over with three monks.

The monk walking in front was wearing a blue-gray monk's robe, but he couldn't hide his handsome face. Lin Yutong couldn't tell his age, a man in his twenties or thirties. He was tall and strong, with a sharp edge on his face, with a pair of eyes calm and unpretentious. The two monks following him looked like his servants. Even though Madam He was walking in front of the monk, his slightly bent body also showed her attitude towards this person. In this way, she regarded herself as a servant. This was extremely abnormal. Even Madam He did not act like this in front of a first- and second-grade destiny woman.

Who is this person?

Is he a monk in this temple? I have lived there for so long before, why have I never seen such a handsome person? Even a monk should have a name and a surname. He would not be so unknown.

It is obvious that Gan called out to see this person just to see this person. This made Lin Yutong even more confused. If he arranged to meet someone at this time and didn't want to tell him why he called him over before. After coming over, Lin Yutong recalled the conversation between the two, and it seemed that there was no important thing about Gan's family. It was a must to say at this time.

In this flash of magic, Madam He has already brought people into the yard.

Lin Yutong couldn't go in again. Thinking of such a beautiful monk, she felt a little uncomfortable. Could it be that this monk and Gan...

Thinking of this, she felt that her thoughts were a bit dirty. In this blue sky and sunny day, Gan would not do such an unreasonable thing even if he was crazy.

So what happened? She suppressed her questions and was about to come out from behind the pine tree when she saw a little monk coming out of the yard with a broom and running towards the other yard. If she remembered correctly, it was the yard where Li Cairen lived.

Lin Yutong raised her eyebrows. If the news about Gan's yard was so easy to get Li Cairen inquired, it would be a real ghost. She suddenly felt that Gan's yard seemed to be designing something.

This should be related to Li Cairen.

Lin Yutong did not go out behind the pine trees, but walked through the small pine trees on the side of the road, occasionally picking up some pine towers and walking slowly along the way. After passing by the Gan family's yard, she walked out. She saw Sanxi and Manyue coming from afar. She took out her purse quietly, and when the two of them walked up to her, she stuffed the things in her hand over to them, "You are so fast."

When Sanxi saw the sachet, she knew she had found it. She didn't need to ask anything. She just looked at the pine tower in her hand and said, "There are squirrels in this forest. Have you seen it?"

Lin Yutong really saw him, "I saw two from afar, but I didn't go forward."

When I returned to the room, I saw the Fourth Master sitting on the couch and peeling pine nuts. It should be the ones that Gan asked someone to send to him.

After beating the girl, Lin Yutong came to the fourth master and said the matter, "...Who is this monk? Why have you never heard of it?"

The Fourth Master nodded in a clear understanding: "It was the monk who came to hold a order from Qingtan Temple in Jiangnan, Mingkong."

The monk from Jiangnan has never heard of a name. He is not a master in the temple, but he is solemnly summoned by Gan.

Lin Yutong looked at the Fourth Master: "Why is this?"

"Why?" Mingkong's eyes were very deep, and he just looked at Gan, "Why is he still alive? According to the dosage of that medicine, he should have been a dead person long ago."
