The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 486 Seeking Buddha
Originally thought that Lin Lan's pregnancy would attract Rong Yue's tricks again, but she didn't expect that there was no movement in Rong Yue's palace.

She was afraid that she was so nervous about her own child that she couldn't care about other things.

It was a sunny and spring day, and Wanyu privately wanted to go to the Baohua Palace to offer a few sticks of incense for the well-being of Linlan's unborn children.

When he came, he saw a crowd of palace servants standing at the gate of Baohua Hall, looking closely, it was Rong Yue's personal maid, Que Zhen, who was guarding the gate.

When people saw Wan Lai respecting Fu Li, Wan Lai wondered: "The imperial concubine and empress don't stay at home, how can she have such a leisurely time today?"

Quezhen said: "How can a maidservant guess what your empress is thinking? The imperial concubine and empress also come to offer incense, so I wait for the imperial concubine to come out, and you can go in again."

"What's the reason?" Yun Chan said in a choked voice: "Is the Baohua Palace specially repaired by the emperor for the imperial concubine? Why is it that our empress is not allowed to enter when she enters to offer incense and worship Buddha?"

Quezhen felt a bit troubled, frowned and said: "The servant girl is only doing things according to the orders of the imperial concubine and empress, and I ask the imperial concubine to take pity on the servant girl, so don't make things difficult for the servant girl."

Wan Yu glanced at her with a clear expression, and said with a sneer, "You have your own master, how can it be my turn?"

When the words fell, he ignored Quezhen's dissuasion, and ordered Yun Chanhou to stay outside the palace and enter alone.

The smell of incense in Baohua Hall always makes people dizzy. When you walk to the inner Buddhist hall, the greasy smell is better.

Standing behind the thick painted dragon pattern beams and pillars, Wanyu saw Rongyue kneeling in the hall, clasping her hands together and praying to the huge Sakyamuni Buddha statue in the main hall.

She looked at Rong Yue's slightly bloated back, and the phoenix-patterned cloak had many creases around her waist, whether it was due to kneeling or because of her plumpness.

A pair of sapphire phoenix hairpins were worn on the left and right, and the fluorite tassels hanging obliquely rustled beside her ears as she kowtowed.

Because of worshiping the Buddha, she didn't wear any armor or makeup, and she was as clean as that romantic girl who had just entered the palace.

Wan Yu didn't make a sound, she leaned forward slightly, and listened carefully to what Rong Yue said.

"Tong, a trustworthy girl, is worthy of the king, and she is terrified. She has a weak body, and the Buddha blesses her. Once she conceives, she will be overjoyed."

"However, believers do many unrighteous things, which are not tolerated by Buddhism. The heart is sad and regretful."

"Being a mother at the beginning of this year, I know all the hardships and sufferings. I feel that my sins are so serious that I can't repay them. I only hope that the Buddha will protect the innocent child and give birth safely. The believer is willing to be a vegetarian all her life and devote her heart to the Buddha."

"And I also wish that the Guo Luoluo family and the Wu Ya family will have a smooth birth and no disasters will be added. The believers will be grateful and pay homage to my Buddha three times."

After saying that, offer three sticks of incense, kneel three times and kowtow nine times.

Seeing all this in Wanlu's eyes, she couldn't help but be moved by it.

Everyone knows that being a mother can most inspire kindness in people's hearts. Seeing Rong Yue like this, she doesn't know if she is saying these words for the Buddha to hear, or is she pleading guilty from the bottom of her heart?

She walked at a cat's pace, took a cattail mat and knelt down behind Rong Yue, praying three times.

When Rong Yue heard the movement, she looked back and saw that it was her, she was a little surprised: "Are you here?"

Wan Yu nodded slightly, and said after the ceremony: "The imperial concubine has a body, it is really not suitable for walking."

"I was so depressed in the palace, but I came here, so I can feel relieved."

"Of course, if you have done too many evil things, how can you sleep peacefully?"

Rong Yue's face was embarrassed for a moment, she shook her head and said: "I have been resting with this baby these days, and I have recalled many things from the past. I have done many wrong things because of my own wrongs and hatreds, and I have even lost you, who treats me wholeheartedly. People. Later you and I get along into today's situation, which is not my original intention."

Wan Lai closed her eyes and prayed, and said in her free time: "The imperial concubine has a noble status, and the concubines and concubines in the harem naturally treat each other sincerely."

Rong Yue was silent for a moment, then whispered: "You say that, are you unwilling to forgive me?"

"Why do you need my concubine to forgive me?" Wan Yu stood up after saluting, and stepped forward to support Rong Yue, who had a full body: "The imperial concubine is devout to the Buddha, believes in the Dharma, and I want to read the "Eight Masters Enlightenment Sutra" ① volume. "

Looking at her slightly smiling face, Rong Yue asked, "What do you want to say?"

"The concubine remembers a sentence, 'more desires are suffering, life and death are exhausting, start from greed, less desires are inaction, and the body and mind are at ease. When you do nothing, you are at ease."

Rong Yue's heart was secretly terrified, but seeing the Buddha statue enshrined on it, she could only patiently burst into a smile: "Less desires, inaction, and desires and desires, this is the same principle. The noble concubine has been in the palace for several years, and she has seen Zhenzhen. My son does not fight or grab, calm as water, but you ask yourself, do you live comfortably?"

Seeing that Wanyu was silent and did not answer, Rong Yue said again: "The Buddha Dharma alerts the world, but if everyone can do it, then everyone in the world will be a Buddha. Then there will be no Buddha in the world."

After the words fell, he held Wanyan's hand and walked out of the hall at the same time.

Fang walked out of the Buddhist hall, closed the door, and the man let go, his beautiful eyes darkened a bit: "You know that I want to pray for the health of the dragon heir in my womb, so I deliberately want to embarrass me in front of the Buddha?"

Wan Yu chuckled: "If your mother has a heart for the Buddha, the Buddha will always exist in your heart. It doesn't matter whether it is in the Buddhist hall or outside the Buddhist hall."

Rong Yue sighed softly, and said dejectedly: "I still have some requests, unlike you, who have received the most rain and dew, but there has been no movement for a long time."

There was a bit of a treacherous smile in Wanyou's eyes: "If the concubine is pregnant, she is as frightened as the imperial concubine, and even pretends to confess in front of the Buddha. It's so hard, it's better not to have this child."

Rong Yue stared at her, with a hint of blue between her brows: "Don't show off your tongue in front of me. Have a leisurely heart, and take good care of Concubine De's fetus. The epilepsy is caused by the mother's womb. The disease that comes, the fifth princess has it, the fourth elder brother and sixth elder brother also have it, and the baby in her womb can't escape it either."

Wan Yu bowed her body and said in a low voice: "On behalf of Concubine De, I would like to thank the imperial concubine for her concern. This concubine will definitely protect Concubine De's womb well, and I will not let you down."

Rong Yue frowned for a long time, smiled lightly, and went away.

Seeing Rong Yue walk away, Wan Yu turned back to the Buddhist hall, lit incense again, and prayed again.

"Tong's nature is evil, but her child is innocent, and she hopes that the Buddha will bless her so that she can give birth safely."

"The Wu Ya family suddenly lost their son Shenshang, and now they are blessed by God, and hope that the Buddha will bless her and make her everything go smoothly."

"Farewell."

Wan Lai lowered her eyes, staring blankly at her flat belly, she wanted to have a child, but she was silent for a while.

After a long time, he bowed and bowed, and said: "May the fortune of the Qing Dynasty be prosperous again, the emperor's dragon body will be in good health, and the Niu Hulu mansion will be protected from top to bottom."

Now only her younger brother Faka is left in Niu Hulu's mansion, and Wanyan's words are not just to pray for Faka.

After all, Shen Ye was also the one who left Niu Hulu's mansion.
