The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 185

Yinzhen frowned tightly, with a look of nostalgia on his face, and sighed sadly: "It's all because of this king's selfishness that caused her to ruin her originally healthy body. When she died of illness, she was only 29 years old... The king watched her pass away with his own eyes. Although he felt very sad at the time, he didn't feel sorry for her. Then, the king failed to fulfill his last promise to her and failed to take good care of the only one left by her. Flesh and blood. This king was very sad to see her youngest son who was less than eight years old die in his arms. At that time, this king suddenly realized that he had failed her so far..."

When Yinzhen said this, he suddenly stopped and remained silent for a moment, calming his turbulent mood, and then continued: "This king is very confused, and sometimes he can't even tell the difference between the woman standing in front of him and the woman who once failed in the dream. Are they the same person? What kind of connection is there between them? Chan Master Huiming, I really want to know if what happened in the dream is something from the previous life?"

Zen Master Huiming pondered for a moment, and explained in detail: "All living beings gather because of fate, and disperse when fate is exhausted. There are good fates, and evil fates, and no fate does not stay together; there are debts, there are debts, and debts do not come. It is the cycle of cause and effect. Also. The dream of the prince shows that it is the debt owed by the prince in the previous life. Since the prince sincerely worships the Buddha, if he feels guilty and disturbed in his heart, if he can do what he can in this life, he will take care of the young man a little more, and it will be regarded as repaying the previous life. The debt owed."

Yinzhen pondered for a moment, and was about to ask again, but suddenly saw Kangxi smiling and pushing the door in, with Nian Xilan bowing his head and staring at Nian Xilan beside him.

Xu Zhen was startled, and secretly regretted that he hadn't noticed that there was someone outside the door when his emotions were agitated just now.I don't know how long Kangxi and Nian Xilan stood outside the door, how much did they listen to what he just said?

Yinzhen quickly went over every sentence he just said in his mind, and secretly thanked himself that he had always been cautious and chose an appropriate person to cover up the real identity of the person in his dream, otherwise, with Kangxi's intelligence and dexterity, he would surely Thinking of who he was alluding to in his words, it would definitely bring catastrophe to himself and Concubine Xi.

Kangxi looked at Yinzhen with a smile that was not a smile: "I didn't know that the fourth child had such an old friend. I was very curious about this person, and I wanted to meet this intelligent, quick-witted and straightforward young man." .”

Both Yinzhen and Zen Master Huiming were shocked, and then they stood up and saluted Kangxi to say hello.The four sat down again according to their identities.Kangxi naturally took the main seat, Zen Master Huiming sat opposite Kangxi, Nian Xilan and Yinzhen sat on the left and right of Kangxi, so that Nian Xilan and Yinzhen sat opposite each other.

Yinzhen and that year Xilan both felt a little uneasy at this moment, even though they were sitting opposite each other, they kept their eyes on their noses and cared about their noses, strictly abiding by the rules of status, their eyes never met.

Kangxi exchanged a few words with Zen Master Huiming, and then glanced at Nian Xilan, who was sitting obediently beside him, with a soft and warm smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Today, I accompanied Concubine Xi to Guangji Temple to offer incense. I fulfilled my wish, and then I heard Zen Master Juezheng, the abbot, mentioned that Zen Master Huiming had just returned from his travels. I missed the comfort and leisure of playing chess and drinking tea with Zen Master Huiming, so I brought Concubine Xi to visit Zen Master Huiming.”

"The emperor praised it absurdly, and the poor monk is ashamed."

Zen Master Huiming smiled and brewed two cups of Kung Fu tea for Kangxi and Nian Xilan.

Kangxi took a sip of tea, suddenly felt the tea tasted mellow, with a timeless fragrance, and couldn't help turning his head to Nian Xilan with a slight smile, "The Kung Fu tea brewed by Zen Master Huiming tastes very good, and it's also a light green tea. Try it, if you like it , it’s okay to drink this small cup.”

Nian Xilan nodded submissively, stretched out her slender and slender fingers to pick up the delicate and simple teacup, took a sip of the tea, then her eyes lit up, she couldn't help but took two sips of tea before she put down the teacup, He exclaimed: "This tea is really good, rare and very light. The timeless and fresh tea taste has a hint of aftertaste. The tea taste is delicate without the slightest stimulation. Zen Master Huiming can brew ordinary green tea into such a rich and rich tea. The taste of change must be proficient in the tea ceremony, and the skill is so deep that this palace admires it."

Zen Master Huiming smiled and said modestly: "It's just a skill that is easy to master, how can it deserve such praise from the imperial concubine?"

Nian Xilan smiled and said, "Chan Master Huiming doesn't have to be so self-effacing. From what I see, the steps and skills of the tea ceremony come second. What is commendable is Zen Master's noble character and broad and compassionate mind. The skills are easy to learn, but the mind is hard to imitate." It seems that if you want to taste such delicious fragrant tea again in the future, you have to wait for the next opportunity to meet with Zen Master Huiming again.”

Zen Master Huiming looked at Nian Xilan's face calmly, secretly wondering in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he praised: "The imperial concubine and empress are of outstanding appearance. At first glance, she is a person with good fortune, wealth and longevity. Not only Wangfu Wangzi , and there are noble people to help you everywhere. If the empress has the heart to study the tea ceremony, her achievements in the future will definitely be higher than that of the poor monk."

When Nian Xilan heard that Zen Master Huiming praised her fate, she couldn't help but feel happy, and a smile of joy from the heart overflowed on her beautiful and extraordinary face.Nian Xilan thought about her three cherished treasures, and was overjoyed because of her Wangzi's fate.Seeing that Nian Xilan was smiling so happily, Kangxi couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly, followed by a warm and joyful smile line.

Kangxi turned his head and saw the thoughtful Yinzhen, remembered what Yinzhen said just now, and suddenly thought of the doubts in his heart, he couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly, and asked straightforwardly: "What is the young man you mentioned just now?" Man, have I seen it before?"
