Chapter 117: Greeting the Imperial Concubine

Hmm?

It turns out that he is a great monk!

Eunuch Wei believed that this old monk had a wise heart. He also liked the changes in his face and enjoyed the little joy this change brought to him.

Since the monk has attained enlightenment, the exchanges between the two sides will naturally be smooth.

After asking, I found out that the old monk was the host of Biyun Temple, with the Dharma name Yuande. He has been hosting Biyun Temple for more than 30 years. He can be called the number one Taoist monk in this small Qingliang Mountain.

After looking carefully, I admired it. I saw that Master Yuande had long eyebrows and beard, with a thin and peaceful face, and was extremely detached from the ordinary. Eunuch Wei thought that his appearance was not as good as this guy, but there was one person who looked at him but not as weak as this Yuande, which was the short man Song offered his advice.

They are all the kind of people who can fool people by just looking at their appearance.

"Although the back hall of this temple is not open to outsiders, since my father-in-law is a distinguished guest in the palace, he will make an exception. Why not let me accompany my father-in-law to visit it."

Yuande is quite enthusiastic. Although he is a monk, the Dongchang Buddha is not afraid of being famous, but his disciples should be more cautious.

"In this way, I will be in trouble with the Master."

Eunuch Wei nodded with a smile, unable to bear to let Yuande do something.

At that moment, Yuandeyu's disciples gave a few instructions, and accompanied Eunuch Wei into the back hall and visited them one by one. There were many buildings in the back hall, including the Bodhisattva Hall, Zhongshan Hall, Vajra Throne Tower, and the side halls, wing rooms and other buildings.

Eunuch Wei saw it one by one, but there was no expression on his face, and he was even a little impatient, which surprised Yuande. I wonder why this young eunuch from the East Factory was so impatient.

After visiting another place or two, Eunuch Wei finally couldn't hold it back. He asked Yuande: "There are no other beautiful scenery in this Biyun Temple... Well, is it particularly quiet? Even if people are in it, outsiders cannot see it or hear it."

Yuande hurriedly said, "Some are some. There is a Luohan Hall on the south side of this temple and a Shuiquan Courtyard on the north side of this temple. These two places are famous places in our temple, and very few people go there, so it is very quiet."

"Luhan Hall? We won't go to this place. Master Lao takes us to the Shuiquan Courtyard." The name of Luohan Hall is not suitable for the residence of the imperial concubine. The Shuiquan Courtyard sounds like a good place.

"Okay, my father-in-law comes with me."

Yuande smiled slightly, leading the way. Eunuch Wei was behind his hands, and the old god was there.

When I arrived at Shuiquan Courtyard, as Yuande said, it was a wonderful place with clear scenery. I saw that there were pine and cypresses in the courtyard for three days, and there were no other buildings nearby. They were all mountains and forests, which were very quiet.

Eunuch Wei fell in love with this treasure land at a glance.

When He Yuande entered the hospital, what caught his eye was a very strange cypress tree. There were two trees in the cypress tree, and three trees actually grew in one piece and all survived.

As the "guide", Yuande was going to introduce it. He said: "This is the famous three-generation tree in the West Mountain. How can my father-in-law look at it?"

"well."

Eunuch Wei was not thinking about whether he was a tree or not. He looked around and showed doubts: "Where does the sound of running water come from?"

"My father-in-law doesn't know that there is a natural spring in this courtyard called Zhuoxi Spring. The spring water flows out from the cracks of the rocks and forms a pond. The spring water is sweet and refreshing. Because of this spring, the name of this courtyard is."

"Oh? Go and have a look."

Eunuch Wei followed Yuande to Zhuoxi Spring, and saw that next to the spring was a rockery made of Taihu stones. Flowers, trees, springs, and rockery formed a beautiful and quiet courtyard garden.

I squatted down and touched the spring water, but it was not cold. My heart couldn't help but feel a sensation. A scene appeared in my mind. Under the bright moonlight, a plump woman came to the spring like a thief, looking around, after hesitation, she untied her clothes and squatted by the spring, carefully cleaning something...

The picture is beautiful, and Eunuch Wei is intoxicated until Yuande's voice makes him awake.

"My father-in-law, it's time to eat. Why not ask my father-in-law to enjoy the light and use a vegetarian food in the temple?" Master Yuande wanted to fulfill his friendship with the landlord.

"Eat vegetarian dishes?"

Eunuch Wei didn't like it, and he was so happy that he was about to refuse, but he thought, "Okay, it's rare for our family to come to your Biyun Temple, so we have to eat some vegetarian dishes."

The group left the Shuiquan Courtyard, bypassed the Sutra Tower, and came to the dining hall on the side of the front yard. The room was full of monks and surrounded by a long table.

Eunuch Wei is a distinguished guest and will never eat with the monks. Yuande led him into the room. The table was filled with various vegetarian dishes, which looked very beautiful, mostly with vegetarian intestines, vegetarian chicken, vegetarian beef, etc.

Eunuch Wei held up a piece of golden red and shiny vegetarian beef with chopsticks and bit it gently. Hey, it was extremely tender and tasted very delicious.

"Don't you say it's vegetarian dishes? Why did our family taste a bit of meat?" Looking at these vegetarian dishes on the table, no more expensive than real meat dishes. The monks are very comfortable on weekdays.

"Although Buddhist vegetarian dishes are all vegetarian, they have been carefully prepared by the monk and their skills, and they use steaming, boiling, frying, stir-frying, and thawing to cook the originally ordinary tofu, flour and vegetables into delicious dishes with all colors, aromas, flavors, and different varieties and shapes. My father-in-law, vegetarian dishes are also used to cure diseases and protect health, prolong life, and are more effective than immortal medicines." Yuande is not Wang Po selling melons, but his vegetarian dishes in Biyun Temple are indeed a masterpiece in the capital. Many high-ranking officials come to visit every year.

It doesn’t matter if you prolong your life, but when you hear it, you can still take care of your health, your mind will get hot, and your appetite will increase greatly. You are so happy to eat.

After the table, a young monk brought him a clean towel to wash. After wiping his face, his father-in-law felt his eyebrows refreshed. After putting down the towel, he said to Yuande: "It's so that the master knows that the concubine will go to the temple to worship Buddha in two days and stay in the temple for one night. We just saw it. The water spring courtyard is quite good. Our family will send someone to clean up the arrangements later. The monks in the temple will not get closer to the courtyard in the past few days."

Yuande suddenly realized that no wonder that Dongchang Fanzi came to the temple yesterday and saw that there were fewer pilgrims coming down the mountain to burn incense. It turned out that the imperial concubine was coming.

"The noble concubine can come to this temple to worship Buddha, but it is a blessing for the monks in this temple..." Yuande looked excited.

Eunuch Wei, no matter whether he was really excited or fake, immediately ordered Dongchang to take over Shuiquanyuan, and a mile near the yard was a forbidden area.

All cleaning and security work have also started quickly.

In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, Eunuch Wei stayed in Biyun Temple for two consecutive days and slept in Shuiquan Courtyard at night. This is also to familiarize himself with the environment in advance. His work attitude has to be said to be very serious and worthy of the emperor's love for him.

Three days later, outside Bei'anmen.

Wei Liangchen led the monks and the elders respectfully at the palace gate. At the time of Si, the sedan chair of the imperial concubine came.

The Empress was the imperial concubine and should leave the palace from Xihuamen. However, in order to avoid being on the outside, the Emperor specially arranged to leave the palace at Bei'anmen and ordered Wei Liangchen to arrange for the East Factory to guard the East Factory.

In order to keep it secret, Bei'anmen was closed around the Si hour, and the eunuchs were not allowed to enter and exit. The Jinyiwei on duty was also transferred and replaced by personnel from the East Factory.

"Master, the sedan chair of the imperial concubine has arrived." A sudden battle came.

"Welcome to the Empress!"

Eunuch Wei gave a voice from his left and right, and took the lead to greet him. After seeing the sedan chair of the imperial concubine, he immediately bent his knees and said respectfully: "I come here to protect the empress to the west mountain according to the order of Your Majesty."

The concubine in the sedan chair did not speak.

Wei Liangchen did not dare to look up. After a while, the imperial concubine in palace costume walked out of the sedan chair, and did not look at him directly. She went up with the help of the female official and got on the carriage that had been prepared.

During this process, everyone in the East Factory half-kneeled on the ground, and no one dared to look up. After the imperial concubine got on the carriage, Wei Liangchen got up and went up to whispered in the carriage: "The West Mountain has been arranged, please rest assured."

After a moment of pause, he said with great concern: "The Empress may as well rest in the car now, so as not to get tired."
