The Unparalleled Warrior of the Dream of the Red Chamber

It was the sixteenth day, and the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. The empress ordered people to get out of the sedan chair early in the morning and took Daiyu to Qingtai Temple.

Before leaving, the emperor quietly told the queen again and again that she must come back early, just like a young man in love, the queen couldn't hide her joy, she sat in the phoenix chariot, showing a sweet smile from time to time.

"Mother, you will arrive at Qingtai Temple in about half an hour, do you want to take a rest?" Shui Chi's clear and clear voice came from outside the phoenix chariot, causing the Queen to smile again, hugging Daiyu in her arms and whispering He asked with a smile, "Yu'er, do you want to take a break?"

Daiyu smiled and shook her head, the queen said with a smile: "No need, let's hurry up."

"Yu'er, Master Hongguang was your father's best friend during his lifetime. He has a close relationship with your Lin family. When I see him later, he will be very happy when you meet him as a junior." The queen put her arms around Daiyu, carefully After talking to Daiyu, Daiyu lay obediently in the empress' arms, nodding lightly from time to time, so happy that the empress wished to marry Daiyu immediately and protect her under her wings for the rest of her life.

Qingtai Temple has received the imperial decree long ago, and has already prepared a quiet and spacious courtyard. Master Hongguang led all the monks out of the temple to greet him. The queen respected Master Hongguang, and took Daiyu to get off the phoenix chariot, and walked along the stone steps. temple.Shui Chi followed closely around Empress Daiyu, and said from time to time: "Little sister, the mountain road is narrow and slippery, please walk slowly and carefully under your feet, Lan Xin, you have to hold on."

The queen had a joking smile on her face, and said with a smile: "Qi'er has really grown up now, and she can even think of such trivial things. The queen mother has raised you for more than ten or twenty years, and I have never seen you so attentive."

When Shui Chi made the Queen say this, her fair face flushed red. She quickly glanced at the Queen, and said angrily, "Mother..." The Queen pursed her lips and smiled slightly, and her eyes drifted towards Shui Chi, which clearly meant: "Boy, if you want to marry a daughter-in-law, it depends on whether your mother agrees. If you forget your mother before you marry a daughter-in-law, it's strange that I don't make trouble for you."

Shui Chi was raised by the Empress himself, how could he not understand what the old lady meant, Shui Chi hurriedly stepped forward, waved back the Wan Xia Dan Xia, supported the Empress dog-leggedly, put his ear on the empress and said in a low voice: "Mother, Please help my son."

The queen put her hand on Shui Chi's arm, and replied in a low voice: "We'll see how you behave." Being able to play tricks on Shui Chi, who usually doesn't care much about anything, the queen suddenly felt in a good mood, with a smile on her face. Her smile is also more and more in full bloom like a flower.

Walking to the outside of the mountain gate, Master Hongguang walked forward quickly, bowed his head together and said: "Lao Na led the monks of Qingtai Temple to welcome the empress, empress and prince."

The queen smiled and said: "Master, you are polite, Yu'er, I have met the master."

Daiyu took a step forward, folded her hands on her waist, bent her knees slightly, and bowed her head in salute, "Daiyu from the Lin family pays homage to Master." Master Hongguang raised his snow-white eyebrows, looked at Daiyu carefully with wide eyes, surprised With a sound of "Huh", Baixiu asked tremblingly, "Are you Xiao Yu'er from Ruhai's family?"

Master Hongguang's words caused Daiyu's heart to tremble, as if someone had called her like that a long time ago, she raised her head slightly, and Master Hongguang saw the face that resembled Jia Min, and laughed, stepped forward to lift her up with both hands. Daiyu smiled lovingly: "It really is Xiao Yu'er. I haven't seen you for many years. The little girl has grown into a big girl."

Daiyu's heart felt hot, and she called out for no reason: "Uncle Master." After calling out, Daiyu herself also felt strange, why she called such a strange title.But Master Hongguang laughed loudly. He looked at Daiyu up and down, and smiled happily: "It's rare that after so many years, Xiao Yu'er has not forgotten this title. Xiao Yu'er, when you turn around, you must talk to Uncle about how you How did you live?" Master Hongguang glanced over Daiyu's face, and suddenly frowned slightly, then let go of the twist.

The queen asked with a smile, "Master, is this a good surprise?"

Master Hongguang responded with a smile: "Okay, okay, Lao Na will definitely pray for the empress personally."

Everyone talked and laughed and entered Qingtai Temple. Master Hongguang personally led the queen and Daiyu to the other courtyard behind, followed by Shui Chi.After entering the room, the queen saw that Shui Chi was still there, so she smiled lightly and said: "Qi'er, I want to take Yu'er to stay with the master for a few days, you can go back first, and you can pick us up in seven days."

Shui Chi was a little bit reluctant, but he also knew that he still had important responsibilities on his shoulders, and he really didn't have time to spend here, so he knelt down and saluted, and said goodbye to everyone and left.When parting, Shui Chitete walked up to Daiyu and said: "Little Junior Sister, if you are not used to living here, just send someone to tell me, I will come to pick you up right away."

Daiyu shook her head and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Chi, for your kindness. Yu'er is just about to ask Uncle Master for more advice, so I won't get used to it." Don't go back soon."

Shui Chi patted his head in embarrassment, groaned, and said dully: "Mother, I will leave you." Then he bowed to Master Hongguang and said: "Master, the mother and junior sister are here, I am sorry to trouble you."

Master Hongguang watched Shui Chi grow up, and when he saw that Shui Chi suddenly changed into a different person, he was slightly surprised, but seeing the way Shui Chi looked at Daiyu, Hong Guang Dafa understood everything, and his forehead Shou Shou said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, don't worry." Shui Chi turned his head and walked away, looking at Wan Xia Lan Xin and the others with their mouths pursed and sniggering.When the queen saw it, she laughed and scolded: "You guys, don't hurry up and put your things in order. It's true that I'm pampering you too much, and you're getting more and more unruly."

Master Hongguang laughed and said: "If the empress is not tired, why don't you go around and rejoice, and the girl can do as she pleases. Old Bian has cleared up people early, and there will be no idle people to disturb."

The queen nodded and said: "Alright, Yu'er, let's go to the main hall to offer incense first, and then walk around."

Daiyu got up and supported the Queen's arm, Master Hongguang personally led the way, first went to the main hall and put three pillars of fragrance, the Queen's three pillars of fragrance: first wish the country and the people safe, second wish the family safety, and third wish the prosperity of the children.Daiyu also put three sticks of incense on it. First, she prayed for the prosperity of the country and the people.After the prayers were over, Daiyu inadvertently raised her head and looked at the image of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the center. Suddenly, she saw two crystal clear teardrops welling up from the compassionate and peaceful eyes of Guanshijian. Daiyu was startled, and Master Hongguang also looked up. At this scene, he folded his palms together, and shouted at the Buddha: "Amitabha..." There was a bit of compassion on his face.

Daiyu turned to look at Master Hongguang, and asked in puzzlement, "Uncle Master, what's going on?"

Master Hongguang sighed lightly and said, Xiao Yuer, don't be afraid, you are a person of great fortune, and uncle will tell you in detail later. "After listening to what Daiyu and Master Hongguang said, the queen looked up at the Dharma statues in the world, but she didn't see anything unusual. She looked at Master Hongguang again, and asked in puzzlement: "Master, Yu'er, where are you going?" say what? "

Master Hongguang said with a smile: "Going back to the empress, Xiao Yu'er is very close to Buddha, and Lao Na is very happy."

When the queen heard this, she hurriedly pulled Daiyu behind her, stared and feigned anger, and said: "I don't allow you to have any wrong thoughts, Yu'er is from our family."

Seeing the queen protecting Daiyu so much, Master Hongguang laughed and said, "Don't worry, empress, even if you want to save Daiyu, it's not Lao Na's turn."

The queen took Daiyu into her arms, and whispered in her ear: "Good Yu'er, you can't listen to this great monk for everything, the ancient Buddha with blue lamp is not interesting, you should obediently follow Auntie."

Daiyu was very moved by the queen's care, and she leaned against the queen and nodded lightly. Then the queen said happily, "Yu'er is good, she is such a good boy." Master Hongguang shook his head and laughed. The empress who is the mother of the world, she is nervous like a child at this moment.

Master Hongguang personally led Empress Daiyu for a tour, then let them into the meditation room, and personally delivered two cups of green tea. Daiyu hurriedly stood up and bowed to take it with both hands. , Lao Na heard from your uncle and aunt that you were wronged at Jia’s house, is there such a thing?”

Daiyu lowered her head and said lightly: "Master Uncle, it's because Daiyu couldn't adapt to her grandmother's family style, and it can't be said that she was wronged. Now that Yu'er returns to her home, naturally everything will be fine."

Master Hongguang nodded. It is rare for Daiyu to be kind-hearted and hide the evil from others. It seems that the heavens have given her a great mandate, and she did not choose the wrong person.Master Hongguang turned around and took out a small black box from the cabinet, opened it and put it in front of Daiyu, and said with a kind smile: "My good boy, I have newly obtained a thousand-year-old bodhi seed, which is most beneficial to your body. Uncle brought it, and now you just come, so take it with you."

The empress saw that the bodhi seed was as green as blue, with a little bit of bright red on the top. It looked different from ordinary bodhi seeds, and she could clearly feel that it contained a strong vitality. The empress knew it was a rare good thing at a glance. Then he smiled and said, "It's rare for the master to be so generous, Yu'er, why don't you thank me soon."

But Daiyu shook her head and thanked her: "Thank you, Uncle Master. This bodhi seed is more useful to Uncle Master than to Daiyu, so Daiyu can't accept it." What does a millennium Bodhi mean to monks who practice hard? It is a supreme treasure that can help them achieve righteousness.

Master Hongguang smiled and said: "Don't worry, good boy, Uncle has his own destiny. If you let you take it, you will take it." Master Hongguang took out the bodhi seed, which is green and gold. It was threaded on a rope made of pearl thread, and Master Hongguang naturally put it on Daiyu's neck, heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "This bodhi child has spirituality that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it has the ability to choose the master. Even if Lao Na wants to give it to you, he won’t be able to.”

Daiyu caressed the bodhi seeds with her slender fingers, and she felt a pure vitality coming from her fingertips, which made her feel refreshed, as if something had been stirred in her heart.Master Hongguang smiled again: "It's best to keep it close to your body, and don't let the girls know what it is."

The Queen knew that Master Hongguang's Dharma was profound, so he must have a deep meaning in what he said, so she walked up to Daiyu, intending to help Daiyu straighten out the hanging rope and put the thousand-year-old bodhi seed in her collar, but unexpectedly, the bodhi seed suddenly came out. A burst of soft blue light actually flicked the Queen's hand back. Instead of being angry, the Queen was happy, and turned to Master Hongguang with a smile: "Thank you, Master."

Master Hongguang laughed and said, "No thanks, no thanks."

Daiyu picked up the bodhi seed in surprise, but found no abnormality. The queen smiled and said, "Put it next to your body." The long and lasting vitality seeped into Daiyu's heart bit by bit.Daiyu's originally slightly pale face gradually turned into a layer of rosy pink, the queen took Daiyu's hand in joy and said, "Yu'er, your complexion is much better."

Master Hongguang nodded and smiled: "This is the miraculous effect of the Millennium Bodhi, Xiao Yu'er, remember not to take it off at any time. It can save your life."

Daiyu knew that this bounty was really precious, so Yingying bowed down and said, "Thank you, Uncle Master, for your life."

Master Hongguang helped Daiyu up, and said with a smile, "It's your own destiny, so you don't need to thank me."

Master Hongguang chatted with Daiyu for a few words, seeing that Daiyu was very knowledgeable despite her young age, he couldn't help comforting her, and praised repeatedly: "After all, she is Ruhai's daughter, and the family has a solid foundation, Xiaoyuer, Uncle There are a few Buddhist scriptures here, all of which are orphans, take them and read them."

The queen frowned when she heard this, and said: "She is a girl from every family, why does the master only want her to read Buddhist scriptures, the girl should not be too quiet, Yu'er is already a little bookworm, you still hook her to read books , could it be that she is going to snatch her brother's number one prize?"

Master Hongguang just smiled and said nothing, in terms of age, he is more than ninety, because Yu Lin Hai is a friend of Wangnian, so he asked Daiyu to call her uncle. When he lived to his age, he looked down on everything, even the queen. It's like watching a child.

When Daiyu heard that there was an isolated Buddhist scripture, her eyes gleamed happily and she responded with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Master."

Master Hongguang took out another small green cloth bag from the cabinet, handed it to Daiyu without opening it, and said with a smile: "Take it back and look at it slowly, there is no rush." ​​Daiyu took it with both hands with a smile, Master Hongguang seemed to have finished it. What a heavy task, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The queen watched from the side, suspicious in her heart, just asked if it was not good, then got up and smiled: "I have disturbed the mage for a long time, we should go back."

Master Hongguang nodded and said: "It's fine, the old monk is poor here, and he doesn't have any good refreshments, so it's fine to go back."

The Empress and Daiyu left the meditation room, Yingxia Lanxin and the others rushed up to greet her, surrounded Empress Daiyu and went back to the other courtyard.

Prince Shui Chi bid farewell to Empress Daiyu, beat horses like flying all the way, and soon returned to the palace.He first went to the imperial study to meet the emperor, the emperor asked carefully about the situation along the way, and then said with a smile: "Qi'er, your mother and younger sister are not in the palace, why don't we father and son take this opportunity to go out for a private visit?"

Shui Chi is a young man, so he naturally likes it endlessly. He nodded and said: "Father, my son, I'm going to change my clothes."

The emperor nodded with a smile and said: "You even prepared your clothes, didn't you think about it a long time ago?"

Shui Chi smiled embarrassedly and said: "I am about the same size as Brother Rong, he wears a lot of casual clothes, just take what he wears, but my father has nothing but dragon robes, and really doesn't have any casual clothes, so it's too late to make them now. "

The emperor knocked Shui Chi on the head, and scolded with a smile: "Just when you are smart and walk in the folks for your father, you have not yet been born." Shui Chi touched his head and smiled, and the emperor also smiled and said: "Go Change your clothes, we will meet at Ximen, remember to be careful, don't let anyone find out."

Shui Chi nodded excitedly, sneaking away with the emperor, this is too exciting.He hastily knelt down and ran back to the palace.The emperor twisted his beard and said with a smile: "This boy really looks like when I was young." After laughing, the emperor shouted: "Come in Xiaoluzi." Find out the casual clothes, I'm going out of the palace."

Xiao Luzi hesitated, raised his head and looked at the emperor in surprise, the emperor smiled happily and said, "What are you looking at, why don't you go quickly, I grant you permission to follow, you should change your clothes too."

Xiaoluzi's eyes lit up, and he quickly responded, "Yes, I'll go get ready now." Xiaoluzi is 42 years old this year, and has served the emperor for 25 years.Except for the empress, no one in the palace called him Chief Lu. The name Xiao Luzi was reserved for the empress and empress.

Not long after, Xiao Luzi came back with a big burden on his arm. He panted and said, "Your Majesty, I have made arrangements for this old servant. No one will know that you are not in the palace until you go to court tomorrow."

The emperor nodded and smiled and said, "You are considerate, very good." Xiao Luzi waited on the emperor and changed into a blue-gray robe with jacquard satin surface and black fox fur lining. The emperor looked at himself in the mirror and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that I She is thinner than when she was young, and the clothes are much looser than before."

Xiaoluzi wiped his eyes and said, "Long Live Lord, you have worked so hard these years."

The emperor laughed at himself and said: "Everyone wants to sit on this dragon chair, but they don't know that this is the most difficult place in the world to sit on."

Xiaoluzi put on a brown satin robe, thought for a while, and found some beards to stick on his chin. The emperor couldn't help laughing and said, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Luzi smiled awkwardly and said: "This old slave put on some beards so that he doesn't look like someone who goes out of the palace." Without encountering a single palace official, the emperor and Xiao Luzi arrived at Ximen smoothly.Seeing that the prince Shuiqi was already waiting here, and Shui Rong was with him.Shui Rong was dressed in a sapphire blue warrior costume, looking slender and straight, and the sword on his waist added to his charm, the emperor frowned and said, "Rong'er, why are you here?"

Shui Rong smiled and said, "Uncle's private visit is in a micro-service, and my nephew will be his escort."

The emperor smiled angrily and said: "It's you who want to go out to play, that's all, I'll let you go for a while, and if you dare to make your own decisions next time, we'll see how I punish you."

Father, son, uncle, nephew, master and servant quietly left the palace gate, boarded the carriage and went straight to the downtown, leaving the palace gate far behind.Not long after the emperor left the palace, Yuan Chun, supported by Baoqin, took several palace servants to find the emperor.Since the news of her pregnancy came out, the emperor just issued an imperial decree ordering family members of Jia's mansion to visit the palace, but he didn't even go to Fengzao Palace to take a look. I want to show my feminine charm, first to arouse the emperor's pity, and second, to intercede for my parents.

Yuan Chun brought people to the entrance of the imperial study, and ordered them to enter to report. Unexpectedly, the expressionless chief guard knelt down on one knee, and said indifferently: "According to the ancestral system, concubines in the harem are not allowed to enter the imperial study. Your empress, please go back."

Yuan Chun said anxiously: "I have a body, it's not easy to come here, can't I also enter? Go and report to the emperor, the emperor will definitely meet me."

The head guard hid the disdain in his heart, got up and waved: "Chen Liang, go and ask for orders."

Chen Liang quickly ran into the room, came out with a sullen face after a while, and said loudly: "The emperor has an order, no one is allowed to violate the palace rules, and the imperial concubine and empress are allowed to return to the palace for maintenance."

Yuan Chun's heart trembled, she had to put on a smile after losing her face, Fushen said: "The concubine complies with the order." Then he smiled and said: "This is the dessert prepared by the concubine for the emperor, please the emperor to taste it."

The guard said again: "The emperor said, the noble concubine doesn't need to bother so much, take it back and eat it by yourself." Yuan Chun's face turned from red to green, and suddenly felt that his face was lost, and the moment his thoughts moved, he clutched his stomach and pretended to have abdominal pain, and said in a sad voice: "Oh, my stomach hurts so much, Your Majesty..." Baoqin was taken aback, he quickly held Yuanchun tight, and shouted urgently: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...why are you here?"

Yuan Chun secretly winked, hugged the piano to understand, and supported Yuan Chun and muttered: "Oh, it's not good, my lady has a stomachache, let me go in and have a rest!"

The cold-faced head guard frowned and said: "Come here, carry the soft sedan chair, and send the empress back to the palace."

Yuan Chun was so angry that he wanted to yell, Baoqin was already in his head and pointed at the chief guard's nose and shouted: "You are so courageous, don't you know that the empress is pregnant, if Xiaolongzi is in the way, can you take care of it?" ?”

The head of the cold-faced guard remained expressionless, and said in a cold voice: "The palace rules are as big as the sky, and no one can break the rules. The empress is not feeling well, so she should go back to the palace to recuperate. The imperial study is narrow and there is no place to rest. Empress Staying here is irresponsible to the emperor's heir." Yuan Chun supported the hand holding the piano with one hand, and pointed at the cold-faced head guard with the other, shouting: "What's your name? Whose family do you dare to speak to me like that? Do you want to commit the following crimes?"

The chief guard said coldly: "My minister, Zhao Zijing, is the sixth son of the Yongping Palace. I act according to the palace rules and have no intention of disrespecting the empress. If the empress feels that the minister is wrong, she only dares to participate in the performance of the humble minister."

Yuan Chun was so stuffy that he couldn't speak. At this moment, an impatient voice came from the imperial study: "Concubine Yuan is bold!" This voice was exactly the voice of the emperor. Yuan Chun lost his arrogance at this moment, so he could only lower his body and say softly: "Your Majesty, I want to see you!"

There was a sound of smashing things in the imperial study room, and immediately afterwards, Yuan Chun heard a sentence that chilled her heart: "Zi Jing, escort Jia Guifei back to Fengzao Palace. If you dare to make noise again, I will not forgive you lightly."

Zhao Zijing quickly knelt down facing the inside and said: "I obey the order." Then he stood up and stretched out his hand and said, "Please, imperial concubine!" go……
