Chapter 114 Water Arhat

The queen mother took a few mouthfuls of food, then put down her chopsticks and said, "The reason why the emperor brought you out is for fun, but if you three able-bodied people come to show me the rules, I won't bear it. Today we Regardless of the rules, you sit down and use it together. This is what a family looks like. Besides, it will save the emperor from worrying about you, and it’s not good to enter.”

The empress glanced at the imperial concubine, and responded: "The emperor loves us dearly. I only see that the imperial concubine is the heaviest, and I am afraid that I will not be able to stand." Another small table has been taken over there. The palace rules are strict, and the empress dowager The meal can only be used standing up, and if you want to give a seat, you can't share the same table with the empress dowager or the emperor, you have to lift another table.

The emperor saw that the concubine was helped to sit down, and then said, "This is the emperor Ernie who is careful. I have to obey the rules here. You should thank Ernie." salute.

Over there, Manager Rhubarb had expressed his intentions to the Shengping Department, and the elegant tune during the lake tour changed.Tens of zhang away, there is a nest full of musicians from the Shengping Department. This time it is very lively, the orchestra is flying, the pearls and jade are falling on the plate, the dinner of the queen mother and master, it must be like this to look prosperous.

After a while, the food was used up, and the dishes were removed from the seesaw between the two boats one by one like flowing water.Some empress dowagers have never touched them before, so the manager of rhubarb quietly passed them on to the accompanying boat for use by the concubines.

After the excitement was over, the tunes in the lake became melodious again.

The people in the Compassion Ning Palace had quick eyesight and quick hands, it took only a moment to remove the dining table, and the deck was immediately clean.The queen mother didn't like the taste of food, so several eunuchs brought buckets full of fruits and put them on one side. The fruity fragrance overflowed, and the whole dragon boat smelled sweet.

Manager Rhubarb bowed up with a smile, and invited the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to the bow of the boat to have a look.The emperor was accompanying a guest, and he turned to look at the queen mother, who had already got up, "What new things have these monkey bastards come up with?" The queen came over with a smile, and helped the queen mother to the side.The queen mother said as she walked, "Where is the mage, why don't you see me, please go and invite me." Someone went there immediately.

Touring the lake is the same way every year. Enjoy the lake, watch the Six Bridges on the West Causeway, and return to the center of the lake to eat and listen to music.To the north, you can look at Paiyun Temple, and to the east is Zhichun Pavilion, where the breeze is blowing and the flowers and trees are verdant.

It's just that this year is a spring outing, and the spring scenery is enough, but the lotus is missing in the lake scenery.Not to mention the lotus, the lotus leaves have not yet come out, only occasionally a sharp corner is exposed.It seems that there is always some dissatisfaction without the lotus reward.Manager Rhubarb knew what the queen mother was thinking, so he tried to get some new gadgets to please the queen mother.As for the queen mother, she also heard some rumors, and she was happy to let them toss without asking.

Now that the cover is about to be lifted, it is natural to give Manager Rhubarb a face.The emperor didn't know this, seeing that the queen mother was very interested, she also catered to the bow of the boat.Anyway, this trip is for her joy.

There is a large stretch of water between Hanxu Hall and Yunhui Yuyu Archway.The dragon boat parked in front of Hanxu Hall, facing north and south, the weather was clear and clear, Yu Yu clarified, and a few clouds floated in the blue and blue sky.Under the clouds, even the Buddhist Incense Pavilion looks really real.

Looking around, I didn't expect a column of water to suddenly rise in the center of the lake, and ripples rushed towards the dragon boat.The queen mother was startled, and tightly held the hand of the queen beside her.The ripples did not diminish, and came straight to the bow.

"Your Majesty, look, there seems to be something under the water." The queen pointed to the waterway.

Everyone moved forward, the empress dowager and the empress stood at the front of the bow, separated by a few eunuchs and maids, were concubines Ning and the others.The imperial concubine was also curious, and she was lazy to move, but she couldn't help but come over to have fun when she heard that there was something new.

Mrs. Mingxin still sat peacefully in her seat, drinking tea with her eyes down.Seeing Xiao Shuang came to call Su Ge, she smiled and said to her, "Amitabha, you go on your own. The poor nun is not used to the excitement, so I don't want to watch it."

Suge also likes to play around, and now everyone is looking forward for fun, when will the palace be able to catch up with such excitement?After answering, Xiao Shuang dragged her forward.

As soon as he arrived at the side of the ship, he saw four or five mermen jump out of the water. They were dressed in fish suits and deftly.A piece of water splashed on the water surface, only a piece of blue marks, seemed to disappear without a trace in an instant, suddenly it was a firework that had just bloomed.

There have always been many festive tricks in the palace. I have seen ice games, Nuo dances, and animal shows, but this is the first time in the water.This time it was Tete who was transferred from the southern navy. They were white stripes in the waves, and the landlubbers were stunned when they made splashes.

More mermen came around, there were more people, and more waves were stirred up. The mermen were diving and jumping under the water, which made people dazzled.

All of a sudden, one after another, the mermaids emerged from the water, forming an Arhat on top of each other!The middle one seems to be supported by someone, cross-legged and kneading, just like a sitting Buddha.The mermen below spread out like a fan, holding hands, and scattered into a single-legged Arhat!Just after the arhat was folded, water sprayed up behind him. The water sprayed out thinly, and then scattered in all directions after reaching the sky. Looking from a distance, the water seemed to be illuminated by the light of Buddha.

When the Empress Dowager worshiped the Buddha, seeing such busy reciting the name of the Buddha, she pulled the emperor and said, "Knowing that I believe in Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, they turned into water arhats, and I don't know whether I should reward them!" The emperor said, "It's hard for them! I think I deserve a reward."

As soon as the words fell, the sitting Buddha in the middle suddenly jumped up, and I don't know what he was drawing in his hand. A firework shot up into the sky, and colorful flames rose from the water and mountains, as if in a fairyland.

The queen mother clapped her hands happily, "This kind of thought is really not small, I deserve a reward!"

The arhats stacked in the water heard the chief manager of rhubarb yell "reward", and they each made seals with one hand, as if they were thanking for the reward.

Concubine Ning's voice sounded in front of Suge, "Whoever came up with the idea is thanks to what he thought. In order to please the queen mother, I really worked hard."

The noble concubine at the side watched with horror, the movement was so loud that she was afraid of frightening the child in her stomach.Hearing Concubine Ning's words, "It's just too noisy." Concubine Ning pursed her lips and smiled, "What is your lord afraid of, you have dragon veins in your stomach, if you are even scared of this, how can you ride a horse and fight for Lord Long Live in the future? "

The imperial concubine was not happy when she heard this, this concubine Ning, she was so arrogant just after entering the palace, she never took herself seriously, even if she was favored, she didn't have to be so sharp-tongued, besides, she dared to make fun of the dragon fetus.After putting on a face, he turned around and prepared to teach her a few words - Concubine Ning was not very popular in the harem, even if he was favored at that time, he did not dare to make enemies everywhere in the harem.It's also because I am too weak, never willing to put on the airs of a noble concubine.

*********
Babies, who knows what happened next?Spoiler alert, the imperial concubine is going to have an accident.
