Aunt Chai laughed, looking very proud.

"Princess Princess, the person who has the most contact with Her Royal Highness is Abbot Qingji. She will give lectures and fast meals to Her Royal Highness every day. Those who have come here to visit Her Royal Highness include Princess Nanyang, Princess Beiyang, Princess Ji and Xiaojun host,
"The pregnant Princess Jing, as well as Princess Mingde, Princess Qing, Princess Mingming, Princess Rong, Princess Rong... wives and grandmothers of several courtiers, Mrs. Xun Da and Mrs. Xun Si also came here. Send them off. Many valuable rosary beads, Buddha statues, and scriptures.”

Princess Dongyang's waist is really tough, even though she was sent here, she is still full of people.

If it were anyone else, they would wish to stay away.

Xunxiang asked, "Princess Mingde is here too?"

"Yes, Princess Mingde personally copied three scriptures and gave them to Her Royal Highness the Princess, with a total of more than 10,000 words. Her Royal Highness the Princess said that Prince Duan was stupid, but Princess Mingde was prudent and polite, and her calligraphy was beautiful. , very surprising.

"It's a pity that with a father like that, it's impossible to have a particularly good marriage."

Xun Xiang said, "I'm going to Puguang Temple to pray for my mother. I'll be back in the afternoon."

She wanted to ask Abbot Hui Ren to take a look at the string of beads, but she had never taken the time to do so before.

Xunxiang walked outside the nunnery and bumped into Xun Yibo who was rushing over.

Xun Yibo's face turned red with anxiety, and there were beads of sweat on the tip of his nose. "Sister, how is mother?"

Xun Xiang said, "Brother, don't worry, my mother is feeling better and is sleeping."

Puguang Temple is not far from Niangniang Nunnery. It takes more than two-quarters of an hour to get there by riding a sliding pole and walking along the mountain road.

Xunxiang was not used to the fact that there was no monk Hong to greet her here.

Seeing Abbot Hui Ren, Xun Xiang took out the rosary and said, "This is a gift from Master Kongjing of Jingci Temple. One of my friends smelled the smell of blood in the beads, and I am not familiar with Master Kongjing. I thought... Ask the abbot if this bead can be worn for a long time.”

Abbot Hui Ren is chubby and smiles like Maitreya Buddha.

He took the rosary and looked at it, smelled it for a long time, and looked at it again.

He said, "Amitabha, this poor monk is so stupid that he can only smell a few medicinal materials and not smell the smell of blood. Among the medicinal materials are precious ice silkworms and snow mushrooms. These medicines are of great benefit to the body."

"If there must be blood, it should be snake blood. Xuezhi is cool in nature, and snake blood is warm in nature. The two complement each other... Mrs. Kong Jingshi, the poor monk had a relationship once. She has noble virtues, excellent medical skills, and is happy to Help others.

"It's just that she's not in good health. She spends most of her time in seclusion to recuperate. The poor monk thinks that she doesn't know how to use blood to make rosary beads. The female donor's friend may have heard the wrong thing. Amitabha."

Monks do not kill animals, not even snakes. Master Kongjing is a highly virtuous and eminent monk who will not kill for the sake of medicine.

Abbot Hui Ren absolutely believed in Master Kongjing's character and did not use any special method to test whether the beads contained blood.

Xun Xiang smiled brightly, clasped her hands and said, "Thank you, Abbot, for clarifying my doubts. Maybe my friend heard it wrong."

When Abbot Hui Ren heard that Princess Dongyang was ill, he specially bought a statue of Medicine King Bodhisattva that he had ordained for her.

The Buddha statue is three inches high and carved from sandalwood.

Xunxiang bowed and thanked him.

It was already the end of noon, and Abbot Hui Ren personally accompanied Xun Xiang to a fast. Xun Xiang went to the main hall to burn incense and donated five hundred taels of silver before returning to the Niangniang Nunnery.

The sun was scorching in the afternoon, and it felt sweltering even in the forest.

Sitting on the sliding bar, Xunxiang pinched the rosary beads in her purse. Could it be that she was too suspicious?

Xunxiang just believed in Li Qianqian's nose that even the eminent monk could smell it, but she could smell it.

It's not that one family doesn't belong to the same family. Ding has unusual abilities, and so does Li Qianqian.

Even though Abbot Hui Ren spoke highly of Master Kong Jing, Xun Xiang was still afraid of this string of beads.

This is her intuition. In any case, this kind of beads can no longer be worn.

Xunxiang was frightened when she thought that if she hadn't heard Li Qianqian say that the beads smelled like blood, she would have wanted to offer them to the queen's grandmother.

How dangerous. If there was really something wrong with this string of beads, wouldn't she have harmed the Queen's grandmother? If things were revealed, she wouldn't even be able to tell.

When we were approaching Niangniang Nunnery, we saw several people riding horses in front of us. This is a mountain road and the horse walks very slowly.

When they got closer, they saw clearly that the two of them were Qiu Wangzhi and Wang Lei.

They were all wearing hats and sweating profusely.

The two people also saw Xun Xiang, dismounted, clasped their fists and said with a smile, "Princess Xiangxiang."

Xun Xiang smiled and said, "Master Qiu, Brother Wang, what a coincidence."

Xunxiang thought that Qiu Wangzhi should be well-informed when handling cases everywhere, so he handed over the purse in his hand.

"Master Qiu, have you ever seen such a thing?" The voice was loud enough that only the two of them could hear it, "It was a gift from Master Jingci'an Kongjing."

Qiu Wangzhi took it.

He saw that Xun Xiang didn't want others to see what was in the purse, so he didn't take it out. He only opened the purse and looked at it carefully, then put the beads in the slit to look at the string, and then put it under his nose to smell it.

He said thoughtfully, "It should be made of high-quality sandalwood and soaked in rare medicinal materials. This kind of beads looks just like many high-quality rosary beads. Just by looking at the lower official, you can't tell who has worn them."

"However, I have heard that several old feudal lords and their wives specially asked juniors to go to Jingci Temple to pray for rosaries and Buddha statues that have been blessed by Master Kongjing."

His grandmother never asked for it, because the old lady was familiar with Master Mingyuan and Abbot Huiren, and she had good gifts from them.

He handed the purse to Wang Lei again. Wang Lei shook his head after seeing it and smelling it, and then presented the purse to Xun Xiang with both hands.

Xun Xiang was extremely sorry, it would have been nice if Li Qianqian was here.

She knew that they should investigate some things about King Duan these days, so she deliberately asked, "Have the whereabouts of those little beggars been found?"

Qiu Wangzhi sighed, "Not only are little beggars missing in the capital, but also in the nearby areas as far west as Quyuan Mansion, there are also several little boys from good families missing..."

A few people passed by.

Back at Niangniang'an, Dongyang was talking quietly to Xun Yibo, feeling better than in the morning.

Dongyang wears a rosary on his wrist given by Master Mingyuan. She suffered a serious crime yesterday, so she obeyed the advice and put on this string of beads.

Dongyang was very happy that her daughter went to Puguang Temple to burn incense and pray for her.

Hearing that this Medicine King Bodhisattva was specially invited for her by Abbot Hui Ren, she happily brought the statue to the shrine and bowed several times.

A few people sat on the kang, and Xun Xiang briefly talked about Prince Duan's sudden "change of gender."

Dongyang was in disbelief. He rounded his eyes and said, "That idiot suddenly became smart? Haha, how is it possible..."

There are some things that cannot be said to her clearly, Xunxiang said, "It's true. Not only did King Duan become smarter, he was also as careful as a hair, noticing details that others didn't notice, and he cleared the grievances of my grandfather of the Ding family.

"The emperor's grandfather rewarded him with a thousand taels of gold and many other things, so he should make up for it. The emperor's grandmother also rewarded him..."

Xun Yibo instructed, "Mom, from now on you must respect the eldest uncle and never underestimate him. Not only the eldest uncle, but also everyone should be treated with courtesy. This is due courtesy."

He didn't have the nerve to talk about cultivation. (End of chapter)
