The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 518 Shui Qingrou Dropped the Empress Dowager's Jade Pendant

Seeing Feng Yao looking at the jade pendant in the box in puzzlement, the father-in-law coughed dryly and said, "The Empress Dowager ordered the girls of the Feng family to nourish the jade with their body and nourish the jade with the blood of their heart, and restore this jade pendant. Three After a month, if the merits and virtues are complete, there will be rewards."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Qing stood beside Feng Yao and couldn't hold her breath.Stepping forward, he asked, "Excuse me, father-in-law, how does this jade pendant nourish with human flesh and blood?"

The father-in-law didn't want to pay attention to Xiaoqing's question at first, but he took a look at Feng Yao and said, "This... I heard that jade pendants have spirits, if there are inadvertent blemishes or cracks, nourished by people's body and heart, they can still be slowed down." Slow recovery. This jade pendant is a token given to the Empress Dowager by the first emperor, and it is also the Empress Dowager's favorite. It was accidentally dropped on the ground a few days ago, and there was a trace of cracks. The method of restoring the jade pendant was mentioned in the book. The queen mother ordered someone to take a look, and it was true. So I thought of you, the little master who is practicing in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. Now you are copying the scriptures with your heart and mind, and you are practicing hard. It is a big reward Merit. If we can nourish the jade pendant together during this period, then the hope of the jade pendant's recovery will be even greater."

After hearing this, Feng Yao took the jade pendant out of the box.Shining it against the sun, I saw a crack on the jade pendant.Although it is not conspicuous if you don't look carefully, the jade pendant is round and flawless. With just one crack, this exquisite and translucent jade is worthless.

And I heard that this jade pendant was a gift from the late emperor, so the meaning of this jade pendant to the Queen Mother must be very different.It seems that the Queen Mother wanted to restore the jade pendant not only for the original value of the jade pendant.

Before Fengyao could answer, Xiaoqing tugged at Fengyao's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Jade is also a stone, and a stone is a dead thing. How can it grow and recover by itself if there are cracks? This... this is simply impossible. It's possible."

From Xiaoqing's point of view, it is likely that the Queen Mother deliberately made things difficult again.

But Feng Yao smiled lightly, patted Xiaoqing's hand, and signaled her not to worry.Then he put the jade pendant back into the box and asked: "I don't know if the queen mother asked the father-in-law to deliver the decree, but has she revealed what reward the jade pendant will receive after it is restored?"

When the father-in-law heard Feng Yao's question, his face showed embarrassment, his lips moved, but there was no reply for a long time.

Feng Yao knew that the empress dowager was really stingy, and wanted the jade pendant to be as good as ever, but refused to spend a lot of money.Could it be that just relying on a word of mouth, let him waste his hard work and raise jade for her?

Thinking of this, Feng Yao put the box back, sent it to the father-in-law and said: "Please go back and report to the Empress Dowager, Feng Yao is devoted to cultivation and has no other distractions. What's more, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and everything in this world has no great perfection. I am afraid that Yu Pei can only do so."

After all, without waiting for the father-in-law to reach out to pick it up, Feng Yao directly stuffed the brocade box back into his hand.Then turn around and leave.

While walking, Feng Yao also said: "These few days of practice have allowed me to understand some opportunities, and I feel very good to practice here. If you can't go back, why not keep practicing." The implication is that I, Feng Yao, are not afraid of you Trapped me in this Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, at worst I won't go back.

The father-in-law saw that Feng Yao lifted his foot and left, and his tone was firm, probably also felt that the matter was difficult.Looking at the box in his hand, he suddenly stopped Feng Yao: "Young master, don't worry, this is something to discuss, the empress dowager still has to explain."

"Oh?" Feng Yao pretended not to understand, staring back with a pair of eyes, his face was full of ignorance, "The empress dowager still has an explanation? Feng Yao has never heard of it, and there is still a discussion about this decree?"

"Young master's words are too big. If it weren't for the friendship between the miscellaneous family and the young master, the young master's words would have caused trouble." Half of the father-in-law's words were to scare Feng Yao. Yes, but the other half is also telling the truth.

The emperor's words have always been golden words, but the empress dowager's words are not changed overnight.Feng Yao said that the queen mother's edict still needs to be discussed, which is already disrespectful.

But Feng Yao turned out to be a bachelor at this time, and said indifferently: "My father-in-law is here to make friends with Feng Yao at this time, isn't he afraid of getting into trouble? If the empress dowager still has an order, you might as well say it directly. If so No, then Feng Yao will go back to copy the scriptures."

Because Feng Yao knew the value of this jade pendant, and also knew that the Empress Dowager had a deep heart.And this father-in-law dispatched this errand because of his good temper, presumably the queen mother also had a moderate and negotiable attitude.

If the father-in-law who sent Feng Yao to Wanfo Temple had said this last time, Feng Yao would have let Xiao Qing slap him.Suffering also depends on the time, now that Feng Yao has a bargaining chip in her hand, she will absolutely not do such a disadvantageous thing.

Seeing that Feng Yao was really about to leave, the father-in-law hurriedly said: "To tell you the truth, the empress dowager really said what was said just now. But there are some private things, the empress dowager asked me to tell the young master in private."

"Private talk? Then listen to your father-in-law." Feng Yao was amused in his heart, he didn't expect the empress dowager to have a private talk with him.

The father-in-law said in a low voice: "Actually, the queen mother promised that if the young master can really restore the jade pendant, she will let the past go and let the young master go back as soon as possible. As for Princess Rou, the queen mother will go to appease her personally."

After a pause, the father-in-law took another step closer, and said to Feng Yao: "There is another private word, this is not from the queen mother, it is from the miscellaneous family who want to give the young master some news."

Feng Yao's mind was lifted when he heard this, and he said with a smile, "Please tell me, father-in-law."

"Actually, this jade pendant was accidentally broken by Princess Rou. Therefore, the Queen Mother felt very sad. She has not seen Princess Rou for a few days. If the young master can find a way to restore the jade pendant, then the previous festival with Princess Rou will still be the same." Isn't it a matter of what the queen mother said?"

This may indeed be unexpected news, Feng Yao did not expect it either.But this is really great news for Feng Yao.

Feng Yao took the box containing the jade pendant from his father-in-law, then looked at Xiao Qing and said, "Take out the purse."

"Ah?" Xiaoqing was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that what Fengyao was referring to should be the purse given by Mrs. Mo before she left.Although he didn't understand what Feng Yao meant, he took it out immediately and handed it to Feng Yao.

Feng Yao stuffed the entire purse containing the golden beans into the father-in-law's hand, "Elder-in-law should also know that Feng Yao came here to practice penance, and he didn't have any personal belongings. The things in it are as good as what the father-in-law said. , It's really insignificant. However, this purse can be kept by the father-in-law, it can be regarded as a favor owed by Feng Yao to the father-in-law. When the father-in-law needs it in the future, with this purse, Feng Yao will definitely help him wholeheartedly.
