The ghost king and princess of Feng Qingtian

Chapter 5
Although the Empress Dowager did not achieve her goal, she obviously had something to gain, so she was quite satisfied with the result.Needless to say, the fourth concubine, with the power to manage the harem, can lift up the queen or even pull her down. It can also add more oil and water, and give the family more power and glory. In short, they can do many, many things.

Although Emperor Qianzong and the Empress felt dissatisfied, at least their daughter was fine. There was no need to get engaged now, and there was no need to be locked up in a dark room. As long as the child was safe and sound, the parents would feel at ease, and they could think of ways to hold the palace power.As for Yun Yuhong's sudden burst of supernatural power, the Queen Mother and everyone thought it was a scene arranged by Qian Zong, in which Ouchi Daiwei and the eldest princess starred in a scene; and Qian Zong and the Queen thought it was Wang Youdao who knew how to do things, and that was his confidant , How could it be possible to really catch the princess?Wang Youdao has doubts, but this kind of thing is not something he can ask.So such a strange thing was quietly ignored under the not-so-good misunderstanding of everyone.

Time flies, and it is autumn in a blink of an eye.A lot has happened in these few months.

First of all, Princess Yuxiang and Jiji married to Yuxue Country a few days later, and left in a mighty way with her 120 liters of dowry and more than a dozen carts of gifts for Yuxue Country.I heard that Princess Yuxiang was crying when she got into the bridal sedan chair. Before leaving, Princess Yuxiang said something: "If there is an afterlife, I would rather be born in an ordinary family than be a Moyun royal daughter."

Secondly, the empress handed over the management rights of the harem, and the four concubines jointly managed it. Needless to say, the harem must be a bloodbath, forces from all sides are surging, and personnel everywhere have undergone major changes.After the queen handed over the power, the life of Fengyi Palace was not so easy.Although it is not obvious on the surface, it is obvious that food and clothing are not as good as before. The servants of Fengyi Palace have to stay low when they go out, otherwise they will inevitably be ridiculed or punished; , the door is also increasingly deserted.

In the end, it was Yun Yuhong who became silent. The little person used to be always high-spirited, but now he is always staring at the sky in a daze.Qianzong and the queen thought she was frightened that day, so they accompanied her and coaxed her more attentively, but this did not make Yun Yuhong feel better.Yes, Yun Yuhong is in a very depressed mood now, she misses her past life very much, where she was happy and free, had her own pursuits, had close comrades in arms, and had remarkable achievements; but what is there here, There are countless calculations, there are weak parents, there is a weak country, and there is a future destined to be sent to marry.

On the ninth day of September, on the Double Ninth Festival, the Empress Dowager took all the concubines from the harem to the Huguo Temple in the suburbs of Beijing to pray for blessings.Because Yun Yuhong is not in good condition recently, the queen decided to take her out to relax as well.

Huguo Temple is a royal temple. The previous abbot was Master Kong Kong, one of the three recognized as one of the three strange people. In the early years, he traveled all over the world to spread Buddhism and relieve the suffering of all beings. In his later years, he somehow settled in the Huguo of Moyun Kingdom. Temple, and became a national teacher.When he passed away a year ago, he recommended his apprentice Master Jingming to take over the position of host and national teacher.This temple is rarely open to the outside world, especially when the royal family members come to pay respects to the Buddha.

A group of chariots and horses left the palace early, but because a car of delicate women did not leave quickly, they arrived at Huguo Temple around noon.Guoshi Jingming had already brought all the monks in the temple to welcome him at the gate.

After the national teacher and everyone saw the ceremony, he led everyone straight into the Daxiong Palace to worship the Buddha.Yun Yuhong didn't believe in Buddhism at first. When she saw the queen kneeling on the futon, she knelt down too, looked straight into the eyes of the central Buddha, and said silently in her heart: If you really have a spirit, let me return to my original world go.

After worshiping the Buddha, the national teacher took everyone to have a vegetarian meal. Although it was some porridge and side dishes, it tasted very delicious. Everyone ate very happily. Only Yun Yuhong was in a bad mood and didn't move a few mouthfuls.Seeing Yun Yuhong in such a state, the national teacher frowned slightly.

The queen mother and her party wanted to take a rest and return in the afternoon, but suddenly it rained heavily and the wind blew up. The queen mother decided to wait for the rain to stop before leaving, but the rain didn't stop until evening, so the queen mother decided to stay in the temple. Take a night's rest and come back tomorrow morning.

There are some guest houses in the temple specially prepared for the female relatives who go up the mountain. They are separated from the residence of the monks in the temple by the eternal life pool. The monks will not come here easily, and it is very safe.

The air at night is very good, especially after the heavy rain, the air is even fresher.Yun Yuhong decided to go out for a walk after dinner, but Nanny Wang didn't come with her, and Nanny Liu and the four maids didn't care about her anymore, and they didn't know where to hide for a long time to be lazy.As Yun Yuhong walked, she came to the edge of the Immortal Pool, and here, she met an unexpected person—Bai Yumei, the seventh princess of Yuxue Kingdom.

Bibo Pavilion is built on a small island in the Yongsheng Pool, and it is named after it is in a blue sky and clear water.If it is in summer, drinking tea with cool lake water and enjoying the scenery in the pavilion is very pleasing to the eyes; or it is not bad to play chess around the stove in winter, enjoy the snow and compose poems.

It's just that it's getting late now, the autumn wind is rustling, and the grass is withering. What is she going to do there, is she thinking about committing suicide?When I got closer, I realized that not only the seventh princess who should have returned to Yuxue was there, but also the national teacher.The atmosphere inside was not quite right. I don't know what happened. Seventh Princess' eyes were red with tears in her eyes.The national teacher sat on the stone bench with a calm expression.

The arrival of Yun Yuhong didn't make the seventh princess take it seriously, she looked directly at the national teacher, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes, "Ning Haowen, tell me directly, will you go back to Ning's house?"

The national teacher said calmly: "There is only Jingming in this world, and there is no Ning Haowen."

The Seventh Princess wiped away her tears, raised her head proudly again, and said in a hateful voice: "Then don't regret it!" Then she turned and left.

Yun Yuhong looked at the national teacher, she seemed to know some terrible secret.

The national teacher's face remained unchanged, he raised his hand to signal Yun Yuhong to sit down, and poured her another cup of tea, with a relaxed expression, as if nothing happened just now.

"Looking at the princess's complexion today, there seems to be something bothering you?"

"I'm in my mother's harem all day, so what can I do?" Yun Yuhong said coldly.

"I heard that the two countries proposed to marry each other in Ci'an Palace a few days ago, and the princess showed her might." The national teacher continued.

"People outside the national teacher are well informed." Yun Yuhong still avoided talking about it.

Seeing Yun Yuhong, the national teacher obviously didn't trust him and didn't want to have a deep friendship with him, but he couldn't give up. If he couldn't speak clearly today, he might have no chance in the future.

"I was originally the eldest son of the Ning family in the prime minister's mansion of the Yuxue Kingdom. I was engaged to the seventh lord since I was a child. After some incidents happened, I left the Ning family. It just so happened that the master was preaching the Dharma in the Yuxue Kingdom. I was inspired by the Dharma. Then he converted to Buddhism." The national teacher paused, looked at Yun Yuhong and looked at him, obviously listening to his words, and then continued: "The poor monk traveled around the world with the master, and what he saw was that all living beings are suffering. There is no paradise, today is a rare opportunity, so I will talk to the princess about the general trend of the world."

The national teacher stood up, took out a map from his sleeve and spread it on the table, and pointed to the northernmost country, "This is the country of Yuxue, the country where I was born. There is not enough food, there is a lack of food, and countless people sell their children and daughters every year because there is no rice to cook, but is it really so short of rice? The moldy rice in the treasury and rice shops must be counted in warehouses. The royal family And the officials of the Manchu Dynasty don’t know the sufferings of the people? They know, but they don’t care. No matter what they manage, there are people’s fat and people’s anointing enough for them to enjoy themselves. How can they have their luxurious clothes and wine? There are groups of servants. The royal family only cares about pleasure, the ministers only care about making money, and the merchants only care about making profits The army is powerful, but most of the time it is used to suppress the mob." After all, it was his own country, and the tone of the national teacher was filled with resentment.

The national teacher held his hand and pointed to his right, "The Ruifeng Kingdom is separated from the Yuxue Kingdom by the Ghost King Mountain Range in the east. The ministers were all focused on seizing power, and the court was divided into three factions to support the two princes and one prince, but although the emperor was not in good health, he was not dying, so he was not prepared to delegate power, and fought back and forth , everyone puts their minds on how to keep power, no one thinks about what is happening to the people, they only think about the pirates only grabbing the people's property, not capturing the city, but just losing some property, that's all, they can take care of it later. But they tolerate and raise traitors like this, Those pirates will only grow stronger, are they really only satisfied with looting some property?"

The national teacher paused for a moment, and saw that Yun Yuhong was listening seriously before taking it up again.He moved his hand downwards, "The Chiyan Kingdom in the south is most famous for producing beautiful women. The same men are somewhat lustful, and ordinary people almost have four or five concubines, and sometimes they even exchange beautiful concubines or buy and sell concubines. This is a country where men enjoy happiness and women suffer. Needless to say, the royal ministers are all a bunch of lustful people. They are addicted to women from top to bottom, and their combat effectiveness is actually the weakest among the five kingdoms."

"Didn't it mean that our Moyun country is the weakest in battle?" Yun Yuhong wondered.

"That's because every time there is a war, the ministers of Moyun Kingdom have always come to advocate peace."

"..." Yun Yuhong was speechless, apparently not expecting this reason.

The national teacher pointed his finger to the west, "To the west is the country of Zeyu, a country that leans against the desert. Originally, this country was the most stable place among the five kingdoms, but for more than ten years, the royal family and ministers of Zeyu have been obsessed with longevity. Instead of thinking about how to make the country rich and the people strong, they think about how to live forever and enjoy wealth forever. What's more, those warlocks let people practice alchemy with the blood of virgin boys and girls. For a while, all the folk children suffered, and the people complained. Although it has eased in the past two years, the prevalence of voodoo has already made people's lives difficult."
