Chapter 155
After enjoying the singing and dancing for a while, the emperor raised his glass and said with a smile: "Dongbi Hou, Young Master Ye City Lord, you two are about to leave Qingyuan soon. I wish you a smooth journey."
"Thank you, yourselves!" Chen Mo and Ye Shuhua raised their glasses and drank them all.
The emperor started, except for Shangguan Moxun, who was still leaning against the desk as if no one was around, drank and drank, the other ministers stood up to toast the two of them.
At this time, Concubine Hui suddenly smiled and said, "Emperor, this farewell banquet was held by the Emperor for the Hou Dongbi and the Lord of Ye Shao. He also specially allowed the two princesses to attend together. They would definitely understand the emperor's kindness. I boldly ask the emperor for another grace for the two princesses."
The emperor asked with a smile: "What kind of grace do you want to seek for them?"
"Please allow them to toast the farewell wine for Dongbi Hou and Ye Shuhua!" Huifei smiled.
"Your Majesty, this is not in line with the rules." Concubine Li has always been incompatible with Concubine Hui, and she would object to Concubine Hui's proposal.
"Your Majesty, I remember that since ancient times, there has been a custom of sending my husband to a farewell wine. I wonder if I remember it wrong?" Huifei ignored Concubine Li.
"The beloved concubine is not wrong." The emperor knew that Concubine Li and Concubine Hui had been fighting openly and secretly in the harem, and only thought that they had a dispute over this little thing, and did not care too much, nor did he expect Concubine Hui to have ulterior motives, "I am sure that Concubine Hui invites me!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Hui smiled and owed her body. She didn't look at Concubine Li's gloomy face. She looked at the palace maids beside her, "Go and invite the two princesses to come!"
The palace maid walked to the side of Song Ruoxi and Zhou Siyi's seats and conveyed the oral order to the two, "Two princesses, please follow your maid!"
The emperor's words were golden words. Even if Song Ruoxi didn't want to go over, he had to go over. Shangguan Moxun, who was sitting opposite, seemed to be addicted to the fine wine, but in fact he had been paying attention to her movements. When a palace maid walked over and said a few words, she and Zhou Siyi got up and went forward. Her eyes suddenly darkened. She held the wine pot in her right hand and held the cup in her left hand, and got up and walked over.
"Young Master Luo Qi, I like the painting you drew very much..." A girl blocked his way.
Shangguan Moxun walked straight past her without even giving her the corner of his eyes.
"Young Master Luo Qi, I have something to tell you." The girl reached out and grabbed his brocade robe in a hurry.
"Let go." Shangguan Moxun said coldly.
The girl raised her eyes and met his chilled eyes, and was so scared that she was stunned.
Shangguan Moxun handed the wine glass in his left hand to his right hand and pulled the brocade robe out of her hand. However, this delay made Song Ruoxi and Zhou Siyi almost walked up to the emperor.
Concubine Hui glanced at Concubine Li who was acting coquettishly at the emperor, and a smile of conspiracy flashed across her lips, saying, "Master, the two princesses are here to thank you!"
The emperor's eyes moved away from Concubine Li and looked at the two people walking over. His eyes lit up, his body leaned forward slightly, and he stared at Song Ruoxi slowly walking over. His clouds were slightly tilted, his eyebrows were like a crescent moon, and his skin was as frost as snow. What a beauty like a fairy.
Although Song Ruoxi could not look directly at the sage, the emperor's eyes were too explicit and could not ignore them. His scalp suddenly became numb. Today, when she entered the palace, she had to dress up with big makeup, wear palace clothes, and wear Jiu Zhai Guan. Even if she wanted to dress up, she would not be able to dress up in a dirty face.
The Empress Dowager and Tuo Feng, who were sitting on the left, also noticed the situation here and stopped talking. Seeing the emperor's lustful look, the empress dowager frowned. Zhou Siyi, she knew him. Another person she didn't know should be Song Ruoxi, who gave him a marriage to Ye Shuhua. She was such a stunning beauty. She knew her son better than her mother. The emperor was afraid that he would have a desire to see the lust, but he couldn't move this idea and would cause a big mess.
A smug smile flashed across Tuo's lips. As expected, the emperor was fascinated. Unfortunately, Song Ruoxi and Ye Shuhua have been determined, and it is still a marriage he personally issued an edict to regret it.
Ji Chengxuan and others also noticed the situation here, and they could not do it, so they could only be anxious in secret.
"Yuxian (Wanrong) has met the emperor, long live the emperor!" Song Ruoxi and Zhou Siyi bowed down and kowtowed.
Yuxian?
The emperor woke up and she was Song Ruoxi who gave marriage to Ye Shuhua! Anger appeared in her eyes. The Song family was so brave. She dared not to send this woman to run for the election at the beginning of the year!
"Two princesses, the emperor is very kind. I'll ask you to offer you a farewell wine to Hou Dongbi and the Young City Lord. I'm not pleased." Concubine Li understood Concubine Hui's intentions, and glanced at her contempt, mocking her in vain. Before Song Ruoxi got engaged, the emperor would be greedy and beautiful, and tried every means to bring people into the harem. However, now Song Ruoxi has been married, and no matter how lustful the emperor is, he dare not take the blame for the world, and he will not force Song Ruoxi to enter the harem without offending Dengying City.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Song Ruoxi and Zhou Siyi said in unison.
Concubine Hui smiled and said, "What a beautiful beauty. It seems that the title of "the No. 1 Beauty in Beijing" is about to change hands. Sister Concubine, what do you think?"
"The Empress praised Yu Xian for being a pony of Pu Liu, and his virtue is weak and talent is difficult to reach the elegant hall. The Empress is loving, Yu Xian is extremely frightened." Song Ruoxi knelt down again.
Concubine Li snorted coldly, about to speak.
Shangguan Moxun stood in front of Song Ruoxi and stopped the emperor from looking at her, "Emperor, Luo Qi is here to drink with you."
"Luo Qi, you have drunk a lot of wine. If you get drunk, it will easily hurt your body." The emperor saw Shangguan Moxun, who was equally stunning, distracted his anger, and said with a smile.
Song Ruoxi relaxed his breath, raised his eyes, and looked at Shangguan Moxun gratefully. Seeing the echo of Concubine Li, he quickly took two steps back, turned to find Ye Shuhua, followed the wishes and toasted him, and stayed away from this place of right and wrong.
Seeing Song Ruoxi retreat, Ji Chengxuan and others breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor was not a fool. No one knew better than him that the country and the country should be harmful to the country.
Zhou Siyi hesitated for a moment and went to toast Chen Mo.
Concubine Hui achieved her goal and did not stop Song Ruoxi from leaving. She glanced at Concubine Li, raised her glass to drink with a smile, celebrating her successful attack on her opponent.
"Luo Qi will not get drunk even if she drinks this wine for a few tanks." Shangguan Moxun poured the wine into the cup, drank it all, curled her lips and smiled, "Isn't the emperor really a drink with Luo Qi?"
The emperor was so heartbroken by his smile, "How can I refuse Luo Qi's invitation? Luo Qi came to me and drank this wine with me."
Shangguan Moxun stood still and lifted the wine pot, poured the wine into the emperor with his internal force and placed it in the wine glass on the table. "Luo Qi also wants to toast Dongbi Hou and the Young City Lord's wine, so he can only drink one cup with the emperor."
"One cup is too little, three cups." The emperor was extremely happy to see Shangguan Moxun coming to drink with him.
"Luo Qi followed the holy wishes and drank three cups with the emperor, and drink them first." Shangguan Moxun drank three cups in a row, carried the pot, turned around and went to find Chen Mo and Ye Shuhua.
Song Ruoxi had already toasted Ye Shuhua's wine, and the two were talking in a low voice.
"You drink less, you will get drunk." Song Ruoxi frowned when he smelled the smell of wine on Ye Shuhua's body.
"I have taken sausage pills and will not get drunk."
Song Ruoxi was surprised, "You are a coincidence!"
"I will get drunk when I drink. Master specially asked my uncle to help me make wine pills." Ye Shuhua said with a smile.
Song Ruoxi covered his mouth and smiled, saying, "I'm back to my seat."
"I'll send you there." Ye Shuhua said.
"Yes." Song Ruoxi nodded.
As soon as the two of them walked a few steps, a palace maid came over and said, "Princess, Empress Dan Zhaoyi, please come over."
Song Ruoxi frowned, and then she got out. But Tsui called her again, what do you want to do?
"I'll go with you." Ye Shuhua said with a smile.
The two followed the palace maid to the empress dowager and Tuo. Seeing Ye Shuhua accompanying him, the empress dowager's expression was slightly relaxed.
Song Ruoxi bowed and bowed down to the stream and said, "Yuxian has seen the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, thousands of years of years of years of years of years of years of years of years of years of years of age. Yuxian has seen the Empress Zhaoyi, and the Empress is full of blessings."
Ye Shuhua didn't have to go to Kuo, but still climbed Yingcheng's etiquette and knelt down on one knee, "Shuhua met the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
"Don't give me a favor!" The Queen Mother's voice was a little hoarse.
"Xiang Empress Dowager." The two stood up.
The female official next to the queen mother made a gesture, the dancer in the hall retreated, the music stopped, and everyone's eyes gathered over.
"I heard from Qing'er that you are the closed disciple of the god Ni Huijin of Jinglian Temple and the junior brother of Master Jingyu of Taohua Temple. Is this true?" asked the Queen Mother.
"When the Empress Dowager said, this matter is true. Master gave the disciple the name Jingchen." Song Ruoxi clasped his hands together and said.
"What kind of virtue do you little girl have to let God Ni be the closed disciple?" asked the Queen Mother.
"Reply to the Queen Mother's words, Master once said, 'There must be a cause and condition for sentient beings to meet Buddha.' The master would accept Jingchen as his disciple because Jingchen had abstinence six years ago and went to the temple to seek medical treatment. The heart of Master Bodhisattva not only cured Jingchen, but also accepted Jingchen as his disciple." Song Ruoxi felt a burning gaze on the right side staring at her. Without looking, he knew that it was the emperor who deliberately said that he was "seriously ill".
The emperor asked first: "Have your illness been cured?"
"If you come back to the emperor, Jingchen's disease is incurable. Only those who are always with Buddha will be relieved and will be no different from ordinary people." Song Ruoxi's lie is really like that.
The emperor's eyes flashed and he asked first again: "How do you know who has the Buddha's fate?"
Song Ruoxi raised his eyes and looked at Ye Shuhua standing beside him, and smiled and said, "When the emperor said, the senior brother is the disciple of the holy monk, and he is a person with a Buddhist connection. The marriage between Jingchen and his senior brother was the emperor's decree to marry him. Jingchen thanked the emperor for Yucheng."
Ye Shuhua followed closely and said, "Shuhua thanked the Emperor Yucheng."
The emperor was almost angry and vomited blood by Song Ruoxi's words. If he had known that she was a beauty, he would not have issued an order to marry him. He would not have wanted Yu Cheng and the other two, and said, "A person who practices Buddhism needs six senses and love, how can you two get married?"
"When the emperor said, there are four causes and conditions for Bodhisattvas to marry a wife: one is 'family fate and blessing', which means that they have already formed a relationship between husband and wife in their previous life; the other is 'finished sin', which means that they repay their past debts in the form of marriage; the third is 'should be sympathetic to have a male and female', which means that they have a karma for having children together; the fourth is 'cliffetic man married a woman and can achieve the Tao', which means that a wise man can become a relationship that helps the Tao. For example, the Buddha's marriage and a marriage that conforms to the secret dual-movement Taoism, will help the Tao. I have four causes and conditions for my senior brother, so I should become a husband and wife in order to practice both cultivation." Song Ruoxi responded like a stream.
Chen Mo narrowed his eyes slightly. This eloquent woman looked at Shangguan Moxun who was lying on the edge of the desk and poured wine into her mouth. She curled the corners of her lips, and smiled so hard that she was not clear.
Ye Shuhua clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's chant: "The Buddha's original intention was not to cut off the affairs of men and women, but to prohibit those love that did not conform to the ethics of the rules. The love does not obstruct the heart, and the desire does not obscede nature."
When speaking Buddhist scriptures, how could the emperor say anything more than Ye Shuhua and Song Ruoxi, silent, with their eyes flashing.
The empress dowager breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Song Ruoxi as a person who knew the truth, so she didn't have to worry about her climbing the branches with beautiful colors. She showed a smile on her face, "Jingchen, why did your Dharma name come from?"
"When I replied to the words of the Empress Dowager, when Master gave his disciples the Dharma name, the Bodhisattva sat upright on the lotus platform, quietly observing the world, pitying all sentient beings, and wishing to overcome all sufferings with endless Buddhist teachings. Master hoped that I would practice Zen and enlighten the Tao, and achieve the right result, but my disciples were stupid and could not understand the essence of Buddhism. Master ordered my disciples to return home and practice at home, and warned me that I must keep the Bodhicitta in the world so that I can not fall into the three evil paths." Song Ruoxi replied loudly.
"Since the God Niu is willing to accept you as a disciple, it can be seen that you are destined to be a Buddha and a person with wisdom. If you have a question to ask you, will you answer?" the Queen Mother asked.
"Please ask the Queen Mother to ask a question, Jingchen will do his best to answer." Song Ruoxi said respectfully.
"Someone saw a snake eating a frog, and he killed the snake and saved it. Did he make a contribution to saving the frog? Is it innocent to kill the snake?" asked the queen mother.
Song Ruoxi thought for a moment and said in a word: "The Queen Mother, all things are born to nourish people. Since all things are used to nourish people, people should also nourish all things. Tigers and wolves eat people and animals, people eat cattle and sheep, and they raise each other. God is so willing to do so, why do you make the purpose of saving frogs and kill snakes? Therefore, those who harm others and selfishly may not have any merits. If you benefit others and harm yourself, you should have no merits even if you kill life."
The queen mother smiled deeper and asked, "Masters often say that Buddha saves those who are destined to be. Who will save those sentient beings who are not destined to be?"
Ye Shuhua put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name with his hands: "If you should be saved, if you are all saved in heaven and earth, you have already saved it; if you have not saved it, you have already achieved the cause and condition of saving."
Song Ruoxi smiled and said, "Empress Dowager, all Buddhas are merciful. Although sentient beings are infinite, the Buddha's compassionate wishes are endless. Regardless of the depth of the fate of sentient beings and Buddhas, whether they know or not, their relatives are not relatives, friends are not friends, and even enemies and enemies, the Buddha will purify them one by one and treat them equally with great compassion. Those who are destined to be saved, and those who are not destined to be saved when the cause and condition is ripe, the Buddha will also save them with compassion. It is only a time to go sooner or later."
"My mother, what Qing'er said is right. Jingchen's understanding of Buddhist scriptures is not inferior to that of the young city lord. One of them is a disciple of the holy monk and the other is a disciple of the god nun. Just like what is sung in the play, it is exactly a pair created by heaven and earth." Kuo said with a smile.
The Queen Mother nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I finally blamed my cousin for entrusting me."
"Empress Dowager Xie fulfilled it." Song Ruoxi and Ye Shuhua said in unison.
"Okay, the Ai family will not restrain you, go drink and watch dance!" the queen mother waved.
