Chapter 153 Prayers

Everyone dispersed one by one, leaving only Lu Cairen kneeling on the futon in the empty hall to chant scriptures.The servants and guards in the inner hall were ordered by the temple master to retreat to the outer hall to wait, so as not to disturb the spirit of the little princess.

Lu Cairen cursed secretly, looked up at the little princess' spiritual seat, quite disapproving.I thought to myself: My father made up the birthdays of Yinyue, Yinri, and Yinshi. In order to win the surprise of the concubine selectors in the Shang Palace Bureau, how could I be born at this time?It's a pity that this matter can't be announced, otherwise why would I use such hard work to chant sutras for this little girl's movie!Hmph, hum, you have only lived for a few months, how can you have the qualifications to let my master kneel down and chant scriptures, thinking about it, you leaned aside and dozed off.

When I woke up again, it was already dark, and the ever-burning lamps in the hall were flickering brightly and darkly. Several spiritual flags were flying back and forth along the draft, like devils with teeth and claws in the dark night. Dozens of windows on both sides were blown open by the strong wind. Opened and closed, making a creaking sound.

Lu Cairen shivered several times for no reason.Looking at the spirit banners flying around, I suddenly felt a little scared in my heart. I quickly closed my eyes and folded my palms and recited a few Buddha's mantras. When I opened my eyes again, I felt a little better in my heart.He hugged his arms and continued to sleep.

In a daze, she felt that someone was always pushing her, but when she turned around, there was no one there.In annoyance, he turned his head to continue to doze off, but saw a white figure in the shape of a human floating in the distance in front of his eyes! !
Lu Cairen thought she was dazzled, and rubbed her sleepy eyes, but the white shadow floated towards her!When she got close to her and could see clearly, it was actually a female ghost with disheveled hair. The ghost had a pale face, smooth as flat ground, as if all the facial features had been cut off by a sharp knife, a pair of green and white haired An unspeakably hideous horror!
"Ah!" Lu Cairen screamed and ran towards the outside of the hall. The white shadow chased after her, scaring her back and running wildly with her skirt up, seeing that the female ghost's hands were about to touch her. Unexpectedly, she tripped over the high threshold of Baohua Hall and fell like a dog, and rolled on the ground.

When the Jinwu guards in the outer hall heard the noise, they all ran in, seeing Lu Cairen rolling on the ground, they hurriedly helped him up.

"Ghost! Ghost!" Lu Cairen half tilted the cloud bun, several strands of hair scattered in front of him, snot and tears, clutching the skirt of Jin Wuwei's clothes and screaming in a panic.

The leading General Hengyue was ordered by Li Longji to guard the main hall. Seeing the spirit flags flying in the hall, and seeing Lu Cairen's face with bruised nose and swollen face, he secretly suppressed the funny and said solemnly: "Lu Cairen, inside There is no ghost, it is the spirit flag blown by the wind, you are mistaken!"

Lu Cairen covered his eyes and jumped, "No, no! It's obviously a female ghost!" No matter how much Ren Heng tried to comfort him, he refused to open his eyes.

Heng Yue said angrily: "If talented people don't believe me, the last general will resign!"

Only then did Lu Cairen open his eyes, and when he took a closer look, there was no one around, only the spirit banners were flying!

"Huh!" Lu Cairen looked inside in disbelief.

Heng Yue clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty ordered the talented man to recite scriptures in the hall. This matter is related to the death of the little princess. Please don't neglect the talented man!"

Lu Cairen folded his arms and said tremblingly: "But I'm afraid... I wonder if the general can send someone to pray with me in the hall?"

"Impossible!" Heng Yue rebuffed flatly, "The lord of the temple has his orders, and no one else is allowed to enter the inner hall without authorization, so as not to disturb the soul of the princess, please enter the hall!"

A group of Jinwu guards watched Lu Cairen go back to the inner hall with swords in their hands, and knelt on the futon to go back to guard in peace.

Lu Cairen was so frightened that he shivered, knelt on the futon, looked at the little princess's spirit seat and prayed: "Princess, princess, you didn't die by my hands. It's my fault that I didn't recite the scriptures for you just now. Please forgive me." , bless me not to be invaded by female ghosts again!" As he spoke, he picked up the scriptures that were still at the side, and began to recite them earnestly.Strange to say, she chanted sutras so hard that the female ghost did not appear again.

The second day was the first day of the lunar new year, and it was the day when the concubines of the palaces met the queen. Lu Cairen was thinking about whether he should go to the Kunde Hall to meet him, when he saw the queen and all the concubines entering Baohua grandly. temple.

"Lu Cairen, Your Majesty has ordered that the palace and others are not allowed to enter or leave the inner hall. You come out for the time being. I have something to tell you!" It turned out that the queen was reprimanded by Li Longji last night, and she brought all the concubines to the little princess This show of courtesy, I want to ask Lu Cairen to recite scriptures carefully.

Lu Cairen listened to the queen's call, and twisted and twisted out of the inner hall.A few months ago, because of Chang Xi's incident, she was beaten by Li Longji, and her buttocks have not healed until now. In addition, the old injury was caused by running last night, so that she is now walking with a limp.

Gao Jieyu looked at Lu Meiren's distressed appearance, covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Sister is just praying in the palace, why does she seem to have been robbed!"

Concubine Li, Feng Lu and the others looked and saw that Lu Cairen's temples were scattered, one of his eyes was black and blue, and the corner of his mouth was also bruised, they were even more surprised.

The queen laughed and said: "I still want to ask the talented people to recite scriptures for the little princess! Now it seems that I have done too much!" With a slight irony, the concubines behind her laughed.

Chang Xi didn't smile, and stepped forward to salute, scaring Lu Cairen back several steps.

Yu Zhaorong said: "Sister, what do you mean?"

Chang Xi got up and said, "Thank you, sister Lu, for saving the little princess so much, my sister is so grateful!"

The words were sincere and touching, the queen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said: "Unfortunately, the little princess died early, this is what she should do!"

Lu Cairen swallowed his saliva, and said embarrassingly: "Wu Cairen don't have to be so polite! Empress—" Lu Cairen rubbed his legs, a little embarrassed, "I am really scared to guard the spirit here, please Madam Allow Liu Meiren to accompany the minister and concubine to watch the night together!"

After hearing Lu Cairen's words, all the concubines behind her laughed and ridiculed her for being cowardly.

The queen said softly: "It's not that the Palace refuses to agree, it's just that the Lord of the Monastery told me not to let a woman with a time conflict enter the inner hall, otherwise she will collide with the soul of the little princess. Please be patient for a few days, Lu Cairen!"

Lu Cairen stomped his feet and said with a crying voice: "It's not that the concubine can't bear it, it's really... this night is haunted!"

"Nonsense!" The queen sternly said, "This Baohua Palace is where gods and Buddhas live, how could there be ghosts? Could it be that Lu Cairen is afraid of suffering!"

"No, no!" Lu Cairen waved his hands repeatedly.

Yu Zhaorong also smiled lightly, and said comfortingly: "Lu Cai was very harmonious with the little princess in life, and the princess will bless you!"

When Lu Cairen heard what Yu Zhaorong said, he hurriedly shut up, but his expression was very ugly, obviously he was very reluctant.

Chang Xi knelt down on the ground again, crying and begging: "Sister, I am incompetent. I failed to manage the palace people well. I was so tired that the little princess died because of the palace lady's cockroach fight. Now I can't save the dead soul for the princess. I am really ashamed of her." The biological mother of my daughter, I would like to ask Sister Lu not to blame my younger sister for the old grievances, and concentrate on chanting sutras for the little princess! My younger sister will always feel great virtue!"

After a few words, Lu Cairen stood uneasy, and even Concubine Li couldn't hold back and said: "Wu Cairen is so humble, sister Lu should stop delaying the princess's important affairs because of her own trivial matters!" Doubt.
