Prince in the same boat

Lama Temple, back garden.

Incense is curled up, and Bodhi is green and blue, leaving mottled marks in the summer sun.

Burning incense and curling up, and inside the Lama Temple where the Buddha sings, a tall bodhi tree is green and wide, exuding a cool and comfortable atmosphere.

Bodhi is a sacred tree of Buddhism. According to legend, more than 2000 years ago, the Buddha Sakyamuni was Gautama Siddhartha, the prince of the Kapilavatthu Kingdom in northern India (in Nepal today). The pain of reincarnation, rescue the suffering beings, resolutely give up inheriting the throne and the comfortable life of the royal family, and become a monk to practice and seek the true meaning of life.After many years of practice, I finally sat under the Bodhi tree for 7 days and 7 nights, overcame all kinds of evil temptations, and at the dawn of the sky, when the morning star rose, I achieved great enlightenment and finally became a Buddha.

Most of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty believed in Buddhism, and Yongzheng was even more respectful of the Shi family. This can be seen from the fact that he transformed the hidden residence before he was enthroned into a Buddhist temple, so there will be a bodhi tree here.

Under the cool summer breeze and the shade of green trees, in the Lama Temple, where incense is curled up and Buddha is singing, there seems to be a sense of tranquility away from the mundane world.

Two very beautiful girls knelt down piously under the Bodhi tree, holding incense, and didn't know what to pray for.

Ziwei's expression was a bit lonely, although her expression was fine, but there was an indescribable and unexplainable resentment between her brows and eyes no matter how you looked at it.

"Look at our Ziwei girl, she has also reached the age of marriage..."

"Huang Mama, Ziwei is still keeping her filial piety, and Ziwei doesn't want to marry, but wants to serve you well in front of Huang Mama..."

"Silly girl, referring to marriage doesn't necessarily mean getting married right away. Now referring to marriage, you should make preparations early. Can't you get married right away after you get rid of obedience?"

"..."

"Huang Mamo knows your filial piety, but Mamo can't bear to delay you. After a few days, Mamo will talk to your Huang Ama and ask him to choose a capable and motivated son-in-law for you and Qing'er."

Thinking of a few days ago, when the Queen Mother said these kind words, but there was an unquestionable light in her eyes, Ziwei couldn't help feeling chills.

The resolute and handsome face suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and Ziwei couldn't help but think of what Yongfan said before entering Beijing: "Once you enter the palace gate, it's as deep as the sea, and today you step into Forty-Nine City, no matter what the ending is, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out again." day!"

Rich increase...

Maybe because she sensed Ziwei's worries, Qing'er looked at her worriedly. She vaguely knew why Ziwei was worried, and she didn't know how to comfort her. In the end, why not be with her? Same.

Born in the royal family, grew up in the Forbidden City, and was raised by the Empress Dowager's Princess Heshuo. With the love she received, she will probably get the same title as Lan Xin when she gets married in the future, even better than the emperor's own daughter. Ziwei is more decent, but...

What is the difference between her and Ziwei.I just hope that Lafayette can see her for her years of service, and don’t let her marry far away from Mongolia. After all, not everyone can marry a foreign feudal clan in name like Gu Lun and Princess Jing, but actually live in the capital for a long time. of.

It may be that Qing'er's worried eyes were too substantive, Ziwei said to Qing'er gently: "I'm fine, I just remembered... I remembered the scriptures I was going to copy for Lafayette... I haven't had time to super well, I'm afraid it's too late It was dedicated to Lafayette on the Buddha's birthday, so...so I was a little worried." Ziwei and Qing'er have become acquainted since they moved to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, and the two girls felt a little bit of sympathy for each other.Coupled with the fact that Lan Xin and the fourth princess are about to get married, they have been receiving training in the third South Institute these days, and even this time they did not come together to worship the Buddha, the two girls are even better.

Although Qing'er grew up beside Lafayette, all she saw were old nuns and old-fashioned maids, she was always a bit out of place.Although the situation of Gege in the palace is similar to hers, generally speaking, Lan Xin, who was raised by the empress, and He Jiaduo, who grew up by her mother and concubine, are more or less more happy and free than Qinger.

Later, Ziwei came to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, full of poems and books. The gentle Ziwei immediately won the favor of Qinger. Qinger was also kind and amiable to Ziwei. When I was in my hometown in Jinan, I was despised because of my status, so I still have a feeling of pity for Zai.

In fact, Ziwei is not like this. She is a boudoir daughter. She has no playmates of the same age around her since she was a child. Talked to Jin Suo.Cha Cha Ching Er made up for this shortcoming.

The two daughters whispered like this, completely forgetting their little thoughts just now, and even started to collect some bodhi seeds that fell on the ground, preparing to go back and string Buddhist beads.

Bodhi seeds are actually the earliest material for stringing Buddhist beads, among which the "five-eyed" bodhi seeds are the top grade.

A string of bodhi seeds on the branch is full and firm, and the patterns on it are extremely beautiful, but they are too high to reach.

In fact, Ziwei's lightness kung fu can do this, but firstly, she rarely does it, and secondly, she can't fly around in front of Qing'er's lightness kung fu, she is not a little swallow!

There was no other way, it was worth ordering a little maid to find a thick eunuch to carry the ladder, the little maid led the order, and Ziwei and Qing'er both looked up to see if there were any better Bodhi seeds on the tree.Just when Ziwei was fascinated by it, suddenly a figure who thought she was chic flew up, broke off the bodhi tree, turned around in mid-air like a handsome man, and wobbled down.

"Eh!" Ziwei and Qing'er were first startled by the sudden figure, and then they were even more horrified when they saw the other party break the bodhi tree!

What a guts! ! !

Although Lama Temple is not the Forbidden City, but because it is the hidden residence of the first emperor and it is also an important place of Buddhism, the rules are no less than those in the palace, especially this bodhi tree, which was mentioned by Yongzheng himself. Ziwei wants the bodhi seeds on the top, but she also needs an eunuch to drive up the ladder carefully, and pick them one by one without daring to hurt who is so bold to break off the branches directly! ?

who is it! ?

I saw a man with a handsome face, wearing a guard robe, but with a plump and tall nose, which is different from ordinary people. He was holding the bodhi, looking at Ziwei and Qing'er with tenderness and affection, and said: "You two princesses Fortunately, Fu Erkang did not disgrace his life, and has already picked off this branch of bodhi."

Originally, this was considered an extremely beautiful scene. A handsome and handsome man was holding a green plant full of bodhi seeds, his eyes were burning, and he was smiling... It could still make some Huaichun girls' hearts sway, but at this moment ...

It was as if Ziwei had accidentally swallowed a fly, looking at this man with spring eyes, a man with an affectionate shape, a trembling feeling on his arms, as if there were countless caterpillars Crawling back and forth on her spine, in short, everything is wrong.

Brother... Where are you? I'm afraid.

Compared to Ziwei who was slightly panicked, Qinger was completely angry. She was not Ziwei. After all, she was born in the royal family and grew up in the Forbidden City. Qinger was more sensitive to various taboos and conspiracies.

What is meant by 'two princesses, fortunately Fuerkang did not disgrace his life and has already picked off this branch of bodhi. 'If people hear what he said, they will know that he is self-righteous and courteous, but they don't know...they thought it was the order of the two of them, ordering Vulkan to do this.

Who dared to order to climb and break the Buddha tree in Lama Temple, anyway, she Qing'er would never dare!

Vulkang was slightly disappointed when he saw the sinking expressions of the two Gege's faces. In his opinion, his elegant performance when he performed lightness kung fu just now was enough to overwhelm the two deep palace Gege.Especially this new Ziwei Gege, worthy of being Zhe Beizi's own sister, her beautiful face and demure demeanor, as well as the slightly sad expression on her face when she burned incense just now, are simply beautiful.Although it is not as overwhelming as Zhe Beizi's, it is still enough to turn all living beings upside down. It is really a rare beauty.

If only I could...

Therefore, Vulkang held the branch of Bodhi affectionately, with a gentle and affectionate look on his face, and raised his hand chicly, thinking that Ziwei would reach out to take it by herself.But she didn't move for a long time, could it be that she was shy, so... she wanted to walk in by herself?

Thinking about it, Vulkang couldn't help but feel complacent, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he saw that everything in front of him had gradually faded away, only a beautiful and refined girl was smiling and whispering, her face flushed, signaling to himself near.The atrium jumped up suddenly, I felt short of breath, my cheeks were hot, and I walked forward involuntarily.

Ziwei and Qing'er's expressions suddenly turned ugly. Not only did this Vulkang, who appeared out of nowhere, do such an unruly thing, the two of them confronted him with cold faces for a long time, just wanting to He wisely left this morning, but he didn't expect the other party to be dazed there with such a disgusting dreamy expression. What's more, you can be dazed if you are in a daze, heh...you dare to walk towards them.

Ziwei's expression froze, and she took a step towards Qing'er calmly. Now there are no guards and eunuchs here, and even the nuns are not here. Apart from herself and Qing'er, there are only Jinsuo and another court lady. If this Fore Kang dared to act disrespectfully, in order to preserve the reputation of the two Ziwei, even if he tried his best to never let others find out that he possessed martial arts, he would attack Fu Erkang!

Although Qing'er's temperament is gentler, but as a royal princess, she has the spirit and means that she should have. Now seeing a guard who was born as a wrapped slave dare to be so rude in front of her, how can she not? Pang Ran was furious, but even though he was extremely disgusted in his heart, but due to his long-term gentle behavior and the status of Lingfei in the heart of the emperor, he didn't want to easily make things big and end up throwing himself into it, so he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb , Suppressing the idea of ​​shouting at the guards, ignored Fu Erkang, and calmly said to Ziwei: "It's almost time, Lafayette is probably waiting for us, we are juniors, we must not let Lafayette worry about it, we should go to Lafayette It is better to serve by Buddha's side."

Ziwei on the side watched Qing'er pull her to leave, although she secretly regretted not being able to teach this Vulkan a lesson, but thinking that one more thing is worse than one thing less, Qing'er must have her reasons for doing this, and she can quickly let this annoying I am still happy when people are out of sight and out of sight.My current status is a noble and delicate princess of the royal family, not a Jianghu heroine like that little swallow, can I beat people with rounded arms? Make things big.

You wait for the old lady!

Ziwei suddenly turned her head, gave Fuerkang a bright smile, and drifted away with Qing'er.

But no one saw the cold light that suddenly flashed across those eyes that were as clear as a spring.

Fulkang looked at Ziwei and Qing'er who were going away, and secretly cried out in his heart that it's a pity, the two princesses in front of him are extremely beautiful women, and they are both Heshuo Gege of the prince's daughter-in-law level. Although they are not real princesses, they are both Each has its own background, if one can climb up to any one of them, one will be developed.

But this Qing Gege seemed too alienated and indifferent, even ignoring herself. Today, it is better that Ziwei Gege, who looked back at herself affectionately and timidly just now, she must have been worried that Qing Gege was here, So I was shy and didn't dare to go forward, but my heart must be full of affection for myself.

Yes...it must be like this, Vulkang clenched the branch in his hand intoxicated, and the bodhi seeds on it fell one by one without knowing it, thinking about this Ziwei Gege was really shy.Thinking of this, Vulkang couldn't help but get excited. Last time he was blackhanded by Yongfan, the bridge of his nose was severely injured. Although he usually can't see anything, but whenever he gets excited, the facial features on his face are a little distorted. Now he is so dizzy The dizzy look, coupled with his twisted nose and upturned nostrils, fortunately, there is no one here, otherwise... people would have to shout evildoers to lure out the eminent monks who practiced in the temple to subdue the demons!

Qing'er and Ziwei each carried anger in their chests, and walked quickly towards the main hall. Qing'er was relieved after being far away. Her personal maid Shu Ning quickly wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and said, "Ge Ge, this Fuer Kang is so brave that he dared to be so disrespectful in front of the two princesses, let's tell the empress dowager to let her convict and vent her anger on Gege."

"Shu Ning, don't talk nonsense!" Qing'er glared at her, then looked at Ziwei seriously and said, "Ziwei, what happened just now must not be spread out, there is no wind in this court lady. That person is a relative of the imperial concubine Ling, and also a guard of the inner palace. If what he said and what he did just now leaks out, we are likely to face countless rumors! We must be careful everywhere in this palace and be careful at every step. Said Maybe, we were just..." We were framed.

Qing'er refrained from saying the rest of the words, but Ziwei's intelligence understood it, and was about to answer when she heard a hearty voice: "Where are you two little girls? on."

At first glance, it was actually Qianlong and the Empress who supported Lafayette out of the hall, followed by all the princes and elder brothers who came.

"Ziwei/Qing'er refer to the Emperor, refer to Lafayette, refer to the Empress/Empress."

Seeing the three giants in the harem suddenly, the two girls had a feeling of hopelessness, and they bowed and saluted with joy.

Finally met the backer, now I can completely rest assured.

Among the two guards who opened the way for Qianlong, one of them was Fengsheng. When he saw Ziwei, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and secretly looked at her twice more from the corner of his eyes.

Ziwei and Qing'er were about to step forward to help Lafayette, when they passed by two guards who opened the way, Feng Sheng'e and a guard on the opposite side were about to turn their bodies slightly, suddenly Feng Sheng'e slipped and moved forward for some reason. Yang went, staggered two steps, seemed to be unable to hold back his strength, and just happened to throw Ziwei on top of her.

"Wow!" Everyone couldn't help exclaiming!

"Presumptuous!" Qianlong was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly became furious!

"A slave deserves death!" Feng Sheng's reaction was extremely fast, he almost paused for a moment, then immediately got up from Ziwei, kowtowed desperately to Qianlong, shouting "Damn it!"

"Yongfan, you..." Yongzhang, who was closest to Yongfan, did not pay attention to those two like everyone else, but looked at Yongfan beside him in disbelief. He...he seemed to see it just now!

"Shh..." Yong Fan smiled slightly, raised his finger, and stroked his lips.

With his right hand gently placed behind his back, a few round bodhi seeds slipped from his fingertips, fell to the ground, and rolled away without a trace.
