Chapter 671

The Crown Princess stood outside the quiet garden, thinking about what to say when she went in later.

She is the most honorable daughter-in-law of the royal family, but she never dared to call herself the emperor's daughter-in-law, fearing the emperor from the bottom of her heart.Because she is a woman, when she often walks in the palace, she hears and notices many right and wrong.

There are more than a dozen brothers and sisters in the royal family, only the queen has both children, and concubines such as Concubine Hui who have children have only one son or one daughter.

For more than 20 years, compared with other concubines, the empress and Concubine Hui are the most favored - this is well known.

More than ten years after the birth of the fourth princess, there were no concubines in the harem who were happy to have children.

Looking at all these, the Crown Princess felt that the emperor even counted the number of children. He felt that the number was enough, and the harem became a decoration.

No matter how you think about it, this situation makes your spine shivers, but it is also good.When the empress dowager was alive, she was often difficult for the emperor and empress, but only the most noble people fought openly and secretly.The harem has always been quiet and clean.

In the past, the emperor's indifference required people to think about the right and wrong for many years to see one or two, but now the emperor's ruthlessness has come to the fore.

That's why the princess was afraid that she would be reprimanded by the emperor if she said something wrong, which would cause the prince to be angered.

After a while, a dumb slave came over and bowed as a gesture of invitation.

These mute slaves were not caused by being drugged or even tortured, but were found by the emperor's order. They were deaf and dumb but intelligent and winking since childhood.Most of them came to Jingyuan in their teens and were trained by Ren Haosheng. They couldn't write, but they could read lips and sign language.

Passing through the bamboo forest to the courtyard in the center, the princess saw that Xi Lang was talking to a mute slave, exchanging some sign language.

Xi Lang made two gestures and asked the dumb slave, "Do you know what it means?"

The dumb slave touched his head blankly, then shook his head again.

Xi Lang laughed haha, "I don't know either."

Only then did the dumb slave realize that he was joking, and laughed too, pointing at him, then at the room, and made several gestures.

Xi Lang asked: "The Emperor asked if we use the same sign language as you when we travel at night and assassinate?" After seeing the dumb slave nodding, he continued, "I will tell you later."

The dumb slave couldn't laugh or cry, and gestured to express his feelings: No wonder the emperor said you were bad.

At this time, Xi Lang noticed someone approaching, saw the princess, and stepped forward to salute.

The concubine smiled and said, "Your Excellency Xi has time to spare." She said, don't you know the queen's idea of ​​beating your wife?Then he pointed to the living room, "Is there no other ministers in there?"

Xi Lang said: "No."

"That's good." The princess stepped into the room, took a quick look, and saw that the emperor was painting at his desk, with a smile on his lips, and he seemed to be in a good mood, probably because it was interesting to hear Xi Lang talking to the dumb slave.She felt at ease, and stepped forward to salute.

"Pingshen." The emperor even said with a smile, "What's the matter?"

The concubine looked at her nose, nose and heart, and said respectfully, "My father, I know that my father has devoted himself to Buddha for many years. In the past few years, I have often invited Mrs. Jing to give lectures in the East Palace, and I have benefited a lot. Tomorrow, Mrs. Jingyi wanted to go to the East Palace to give lectures as usual, and my son thought, can I ask my father to agree, and my son will invite a few wives who have Buddha in their hearts to the East Palace, one by one, to listen to the Buddha's voice in front of the master. In this way, the Dharma It can also be promoted step by step to benefit all living beings. If the father agrees, please ask the father to lend a few people to the son and help the son to entertain a few wives."

The meaning of the last sentence is that she wants the emperor to send someone to testify or monitor, not because she wants to meet some wives, but because she believes in Buddhism and wants to promote Buddhism.
