Yinglan Palace, undercurrents surging.

However, for the emperor, as long as the Queen Mother's body can recover, everything will be fine.

There are far less rules in the palace than in the palace. The queen mother has always believed in Buddhism, and even in the palace, she will always go out of the palace to worship the Buddha. On weekdays, the emperor was busy with official business in the capital, and did not have time to accompany the queen mother to worship the Buddha. Now it is rare to escape the heat in this palace. After a few days of relatively leisurely life, the emperor automatically invited Ying to accompany the queen mother to worship the Buddha to show filial piety.

The Queen Mother was naturally delighted and chose the Lingxiu Temple three or four miles away from the palace.

Therefore, on this day, the Lingxiu Temple was closed by the Royal Forest Army, and other unrelated people were not allowed to enter the temple.

Before the emperor's chariot arrived, the host had already led several monks to greet the chariot in person at the gate of the temple.

This time, there were nearly a hundred people who accompanied the emperor and the queen mother to worship the Buddha. Naturally, Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi were also among them.

Xiao Yi smiled and helped Nangong Yue get off the Zhu Lun car. It stands to reason that he should have rushed to the emperor's side to accompany him, but judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

He squeezed Nangong Yue's palm and motioned Nangong Yue to look forward to the right with his eyes.

Nangong Yue followed and looked over, only to see Fu Yunhe jumping down from a black horse a few meters in front, and a thin blue-robed youth next to him also jumped off a white horse. , appears to be in good hands.

This young man looks a little unfamiliar, about fifteen or sixteen years old. Although from Nangong Yue's angle and direction, he can only see his profile, but he also noticed that his eyes were like stars, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his temperament was restrained. With a touch of elegance, he looks like a son of a civil servant.

Nangong Yue blinked at Xiao Yi, meaning, this person is Jian Yunxuan, the third son of Jian's family in the Marquis of Zhangjing's residence? She couldn't help but secretly praised: Xiao Yi's hands and feet are really fast enough to get people to the palace so quickly.

Xiao Yi nodded, and the two exchanged glances.

Seeing that the emperor in front of him got off the chariot, Xiao Yi had to reluctantly separate temporarily from Nangong Yue. As the ministers crowded behind the emperor, Nangong Yue was also called over by Fu Yunyan and Yuan Yuyi, and the girls laughed. He accompanied the Empress Dowager and Yun Cheng, making the Empress Dowager smile.

Fu Yunyan obviously knew something. As soon as they met, she winked at Nangong Yue and looked in Jian Yunxuan's direction with strange eyes, making Yuan Yuyi feel ashamed. If the Queen Mother was not there, the cousins ​​would be It's already been a mess.

The presiding master led a group of monks to perform Buddhist salutes to the empress and empress dowager, and then entered the temple in front of everyone.

Inside the temple, it is quiet, elegant, majestic and solemn, which makes people unconsciously awe.

Each of the nearly 100-person team took a stick of incense. After a while, the temple was already filled with incense and mist.

After worshiping the Buddha in the main hall, the host led the crowd around the temple, and introduced the history of this spiritual temple by the way.

Xuan Pingbo, who was on the side, has always been aware of the holy will, and keenly felt that the emperor was a little less interested.

The emperor glanced at Xuan Pingbo, knowing that he should not be aimless, and said, "Let's hear it."

On the other hand, the host on the other side changed his expression slightly, and his expression became slightly stiff.

The ministers and female relatives who were present at the scene were all elites. Many people noticed the strangeness of the host and exchanged glances with each other. Is there something unspeakable in these "Three Absolutes"?

Uncle Xuan Ping continued as if nothing had happened: "Back to the emperor, the first thing is that there are seven pagodas in the Lingxiu Temple, each of which is enshrined with the relics of an eminent monk; the second is the lush green trees on the hill behind the Daxiong Hall shade, but there was never a single leaf on the roof of the great hall..."

As soon as the emperor heard it, he really gave birth to several interests, including the queen mother and other people accompanying him.

Everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction of the main hall. Sure enough, on the huge roof, there was a row of gray tiles, and there was not a single leaf left.

The queen mother recited the Buddha's name, and her face became more and more pious.

Many of the officials and female relatives accompanying him believed in Buddhism, and most of them had a more solemn demeanor.

After Xuanping Burton paused, he said slowly: "As for the third must, it is a red-billed green parrot."

Red-billed green parrot is not only an elegant name for spinach, but also a parrot with red-billed green feathers. Since Xuan Pingbo used the quantifier "one", then of course he was talking about a parrot.

The emperor raised his brows, and the others couldn't help but whisper to each other. Generally speaking, this last must be used for the finale. Could it be that this "red-billed green parrot" has something to do with it?

Xuan Pingbo looked at the host with a smile on his face, and said, "Master host, I heard that this red-billed green parrot from your temple can not only talk, but also sing, recite poems, and recite Buddhist scriptures, but is that so?"

After the host performed a Buddhist salute with one palm, he said, "What this donor said is not bad, but there is a slight mistake. This red-billed green parrot is not owned by this temple, but is deposited in this temple by a friend."

Hearing this, most of the people were a little disappointed. What is it that this parrot can speak? It is not difficult to read a poem or two verses and Buddhist scriptures.

Xuan Pingbo continued: "I have also heard that Prince An has visited your temple several times to ask the host master to cut his love, but the master never agreed."

As soon as they heard Prince An, everyone's interest came again, including the emperor, who became somewhat interested in this parrot.

Prince An is one of the famous "three idiots" of all kings. One is crazy about flowers, the other is crazy about birds, and the third is crazy about crickets. When it comes to raising flowers and walking birds, Prince An recognizes the second place, and others dare not call themselves the first. Since King An was so fascinated by this parrot, then this parrot's talent should not be an ordinary parrot learning a mouth, it must have something special.

And this master in charge even dared to refuse the emperor's uncle, King An, which is a bit high-minded.

For a time, these dignitaries, whose eyes were higher than the top, looked at the host with a little more respect.

After the host performed a Buddhist ceremony with one palm, he said to Bo Xuan Ping: "This benefactor, Lord An has indeed visited this temple several times, but the word 'cutting love' is inappropriate. This red-billed green parrot is not from this temple. All, how can you say 'cutting love'?"

The host repeatedly emphasized that the parrot was not owned by Lingxiu Temple, but Xuan Pingbo didn't care at all. Could it be that the parrot really caught the emperor's eyes, and who would dare to reject the emperor?

At this moment, a small servant suddenly hurried over and saluted: "See the emperor, the queen, and the queen mother, Prince An is here."

Lord An? !

Everyone looked at each other.

After a while, I heard the familiar voice of Prince An from behind: "Xin Xin! Xin Xin, I'm looking for you again." Followed by a series of footsteps that became more and more clear.

Shi Xin is the name of the presiding master.

As the footsteps got closer, I saw a thin old man in his 60s and wearing a brocade robe running towards this side. Son, and the Queen's Sister-in-law, you are here too."

He thought of something, frowned, and said to the emperor: "The emperor's nephew, wouldn't you also come to grab Xiao Cui from me?"

Although he spoke without end, everyone present guessed that "Xiao Cui" was probably the red-billed green parrot, and probably only Wang An, who had always been idle and wild cranes, dared to speak to the emperor in such a loose tone.

There was no trace of sullenness on the emperor's face, but his smile was even stronger, and he said, "Don't worry, Uncle Huang, I will not rob Xiaocui from you."

Wang An was obviously relieved, turned his head and said to the host master again: "Xin Xin, I have already been looking at the hut, sincerity should be enough. Even if you refuse to hand Xiaocui to me, don't stop me from seeing it. Xiaocui's side! You are clearly playing a mandarin duck, I'm afraid that Xiaocui is willing to follow me, right?"

If everyone knew that Xiao Cui was a parrot, not a woman, they would almost think they were watching a playbook. King An and Xiao Cui were lovers who were forcibly separated by the host.

Everyone else couldn't help but laugh. Nangong Yue almost didn't laugh, so she could only bite her lower lip and hold back her smile. Prince An is still so interesting.

Fu Yunyan took a few steps forward and said to Prince An with a smile: "Uncle, I heard that your little Cui can speak, sing, recite poetry, and recite Buddhist scriptures. That's really amazing!"

My little Cui... King An felt very relieved when he heard Fu Yunyan say this, and nodded quickly and said: "Liu Niang, that is, my little Cui is a big beauty. I have seen many beauties, and only Xiao Cui made me fall in love at first sight..."

Seeing that King An became more and more indifferent, the emperor laughed and said, "I would like to see Xiao Cui Zun Rong after hearing what Uncle Huang said. Master, I wonder if I can?"

This world belongs to the emperor, the emperor asked to see a parrot, how could the host refuse.

Seeing the host let go, An Wang's eyes gleamed, and he cast a grateful look from the emperor, and said in his heart, "This emperor's nephew is really good.

Afterwards, after the host instructed a little novice, he took the emperor and others to a courtyard beside the side hall.

The emperor had just sat down at a stone table when the little novice came with a wooden bird stand. This green parrot came out after a long call, but it attracted a lot of attention for a while.

I saw that its bright red mouth was crossed, like ruby; its green feathers shone like jade; its black eyes were translucent, like black pearls, this parrot was indeed of top quality.

An Wang couldn't wait to take the bird stand from the little novice, and said with burning eyes, "Xiao Cui, I can finally see you again."

The parrot flapped its wings, moved on the bird stand, and made a clear voice: "I am a leaf! I am a leaf!"

Its pronunciation is actually quite standard, and if people don't know it, they think it is a boy who is speaking.

"How can Xiaocui sound like a leaf!"

Wang An said in a eloquent manner, but the parrot ignored him at all, and simply read the Buddhist scriptures:

"The Buddha said: One thought of ignorance is prajna extinction, and one thought of wisdom is prajna birth!"

"Buddha said: People have twenty difficulties: poverty is difficult to give, noble and noble are difficult to learn Dao. Abandoning one's life is difficult to die, and it is difficult to see Buddhist scriptures. It is difficult to live in the Buddha's world, and it is difficult to be patient. It's hard to hate. It's hard not to be in trouble if you have a catastrophe, it's hard to touch things without your heart. It's hard to learn widely and study widely, and it's hard to get rid of my slowness.

After reciting it, even the queen mother was moved, and this parrot could read the Buddhist scriptures so completely, which is really not easy.

Wang An vigilantly glanced at the queen mother, and waved at the emperor casually: "The emperor's nephew, you have seen Xiao Cui anyway, I'll go and chat with Xiao Cui first, you can take a stroll here. …”

Before he finished speaking, he had already run away with the bird stand, and the little novice hurriedly called for Prince An to chase after him.

Leaving everyone in the courtyard quietly, everyone thought it was very funny, and even the emperor smiled with emotion: "Uncle Huang is really childish."

The emperor laughed it off, and naturally no one scolded An Wangjun for his misdemeanor.

The parrot was finished, and the emperor was about to get up when she saw a white figure walking out of the crowd gracefully, with Baiyue envoy A Dachi beside her.

"His Majesty Emperor Dayu," Qiu Yi said in a graceful salutation, "I was very impressed to see the Dayu bird just now. Today, Qi Yi and Lord Adachi also happened to bring my Baiyue's holy bird. To His Majesty Emperor Dayu."

Coincidentally? When everyone around heard it, they all exchanged glances with half-smiles, no one would believe that this is really a coincidence, and they came out to worship Buddha and brought bird cages with them?

These Baiyue people are really caring. They must have found out that there is a red-billed green parrot in this spiritual temple, and deliberately chose this opportunity to present a bird to please the emperor.

"Then I want to see the Baiyue Sacred Bird." The emperor said lightly.

Hearing this, A Dachi pulled the cloth cover over the birdcage, and saw a stainless steel birdcage under the black cloth cover, in which there was a bird that was not much bigger than a fist.

When the emperor saw it, his eyes lit up, and he saw that the bird's feathers were all dazzling colors, red, yellow, pink, emerald green... various colors, intertwined like a rainbow, as if not like It is a mortal bird, but the legendary seven-colored divine bird.

Seeing everyone's eyes fixed on them, Li Yi smiled confidently: "Your Majesty Emperor Dayu, this bird is the seven-colored bird symbolizing longevity of Baiyue, also known as the Longevity Bird. The longest-lived can live for hundreds of years. No more than ten!"

Since ancient times, the emperor has wanted longevity and boundless, so there is the phrase "Long live the emperor", and the emperor cannot be exempted from the custom. Hearing this seven-colored bird represents longevity, the dragon's face is very happy.

"What a longevity bird." The emperor laughed, "Bring it up to me to see!"

Eunuch Liu took the seven-colored bird that A Dachi had presented and presented it to the emperor. The emperor teased a few times at will, and found that the seven-colored bird was not only good-looking, but also not afraid of people. He even rubbed the emperor's head with its furry head. Finger pulp.

When Xuan Pingbo saw this, he immediately cupped his hands and said: "The emperor is a holy spirit, and the holy bird also submits to the emperor!"

Several other close officials also took advantage of the situation to say some flattering remarks, which made the emperor Longyan very happy, and A Dachi and A Dachi lowered their eyebrows and lowered their hands to stand in awe, and exchanged glances without a trace until they stepped back.

After that, under the leadership of the host, everyone continued to wander in the temple, with seven spiritual pagodas, green bamboo forest, and Tibetan scriptures pavilion... When the queen mother learned that the Tibetan scriptures pavilion of this spiritual temple also contained a well-known eminent monk of the dynasty When writing the Diamond Sutra by hand, he devoutly lingered on the top floor of the Sutra Collection Pavilion for a long time.

The queen mother was reading the Buddhist scriptures, and several girls were waiting outside the Tibetan scriptures pavilion. There are many inscriptions outside the pavilion. Most of the inscriptions were carved by the monks of the past dynasties in the temple, or monks who traveled here, but there are also mixed Some famous works have attracted many people to stop to watch and appreciate them.

Nangong Yue, Fu Yunhe and Yuan Yuyi stopped in front of a mottled stone stele. Although the stele was not from a famous artist, it was sharp, broad and simple, with varied brushwork, which made the three girls amazed.

"Concubine Shizi, county head, Miss Fu Liu."

At this moment, a sharp voice came from behind them, and when they turned around, they saw Eunuch Chen next to the queen walking towards them with a smile, and behind him was a small servant, holding a box in his hand.

"Eunuch Liu."

The three girls gave him a slight jaw, and Eunuch Chen said with a big smile, "The Empress ordered our family to bring things to the three."

He said, the little servant took a step forward, opened the box in his hand, and a special fragrance floated out from the box, elegant and comfortable, different from others. I saw three delicate and small sachets in the box, one pink, one blue and one red.

Yuan Yuyi's nose moved, and the voice of exclamation almost blurted out.

"It smells so good." Yuan Yuyi said intoxicatedly, "Is this what my aunt gave us?"

Eunuch Chen said cheerfully: "Yes, the county lord, the Queen Mother specially ordered our family to bring it."

Among the three, Nangong Yue had the highest rank, so she was the one who took it first. She picked up a pink sachet from Shun Ruliu. The sachet was embroidered with a gorgeous flower that no one had ever seen before.

Yuan Yuyi and Fu Yunyan took two sachets, one blue and one red, respectively.

Nangong Yue picked up the sachet and put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it. A refreshing scent immediately poured into her nose, refreshing her breath.

This is the first time she has smelled this fragrance. Although she is proficient in medicine, there are countless exotic flowers and plants in this world, and it is normal that she has never seen it before...

"This fragrance is good." Yuan Yuyi said very fondly, "Eunuch Chen, who brought this to my aunt?"

Nangong Yue was also very curious. After all, the queen accompany the queen mother to enter the incense, and naturally it is impossible to carry the sachet for reward. Most of the ladies took the opportunity to present it to the queen to please the queen, and the queen would bring it to them as a reward.

"It's Baiyue's dress-up girl." Eunuch Chen answered all questions, "It is said that it is made of Baiyue's strange flower called the ecstasy flower. Withered, but after drying the petals and making them into sachets, the fragrance of the flowers will last for a few years. The Empress said that the concubine, the county owner and Miss Fu Liu were young and would like this fragrance, so they specially let our family to deliver to three."

At that time, it was still mentioned that in Baiyue, young girls like to use this kind of sachet, and then the queen thought of ordering him to give it to them. However, Eunuch Chen would naturally not mention such words.

"I'm sorry father-in-law thanked the empress for us."

The three girls thanked them together, and Eunuch Chen left with the little servant.

Fu Yunyan said strangely, "What's wrong with the Baiyue people, they give away birds and sachets later."

Yuan Yuyi thought about it and said, "I want to take the opportunity to please the emperor."

Nangong Yue didn't speak. Although she didn't know the fragrance in the sachet, and she didn't know whether it was harmful or not, since it was given as a gift, it would be better to be careful. She handed the sachet to Baihui, and whispered to Baihui, "You can quietly dispose of it later." Although she spoke softly, she could not hide Yuan Yuyi and Fu Yunyan who were beside her. Nangong Yue simply said it to the two of them on purpose.

Of course, the things bestowed by the royal cannot be disposed of at will, but since it was given by the people of Baiyue, that is another matter.

Yuan Yuyi and Fu Yunyan exchanged glances quickly, and they knew it.

"Ayue."

While speaking, a clear voice entered Nangong Yue's ears, Fu Yunyan and Yuan Yuyi gave her a mocking look, both smiling.

Xiao Yi walked over to them, and Fu Yunyan and Yuan Yuyi blessed him, and they went hand in hand to see another inscription.

Nangong Yue frowned and said, "Did you sneak out?"

"It's so boring inside." Xiao Yi readily admitted, "I'll accompany you around. ... I'll sneak back quietly later, no one will find out!"

The Empress and Dowager were still reading the scriptures inside. Xiao Yi saw the scriptures and his head was big, so he just slipped out quietly to accompany his stinky girl. It was a rare trip, so he didn't want to accompany the emperor all day!

Nangong Yue pursed her lips and laughed, just as she was about to speak, she saw Xiao Yi suddenly leaned into her neck and sniffed hard.

Feeling his warm breath, Nangong Yue's face flushed red. This guy has been teasing her recently, but now he is in the public eye. If nothing else, Yuan Yuyi and Fu Yunyan are still ahead.

Nangong Yue stretched out her hand and was about to push him away. At this moment, Xiao Yi frowned slightly and said, "This smell... stinky girl, did you change the sachet?"

Nangong Yue was slightly startled, realizing that he was referring to the newly obtained sachet, and said, "It was rewarded by the Queen." After speaking, she told Xiao Yi the origin, and said obediently, "I was about to let Baihui Take it and dispose of it."

Baiyue stuff?

Xiao Yi frowned even more, and reached out to Baihui, who immediately handed the pink sachet to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi played with the sachet with a half-smile, and suddenly threw it out without even sniffing it.

His movements were so fast that before Nangong Yue could react, he saw that the sachet had already flown into the woods on the southeast side of the temple, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a black spot, and then disappeared...

Xiao Yi wiped his hands and said, "Look, that's it."

Really his temper. Nangong Yue didn't care at all, but laughed and praised her greatly.

Xiao Yi was praised with a smile, took her hand, and said, "Let's go shopping."

The two walked hand in hand in the forest of monuments. Nangong Yue couldn't help but think of the sachet again, and said with a smile, "Ayi, did you show them another look at the recent peace talks? Look, even a Buddha, they They are all busy trying to please the Empress, and they are sending birds and sachets."

"It's not that easy to have peace talks." Xiao Yi naturally had no reservations in front of Nangong Yue, "If you let them go so easily, who should we, the dead people in the southern border, reason with?" He shrugged and said. "Every time those barbarians want to fight Taiyu, they fight, and they want peace talks. He really doesn't care about the emperor. According to me, they should fight hard until they are completely submissive. Those barbarians don't talk about covenants. , Only when blood debts are paid for by blood, and it hurts them, will they learn to behave well."

Xiao Yi's body inevitably raised a trace of hostility, and Nangong Yue squeezed his hand. She knew that Xiao Yi had always been reluctant to negotiate with him, but from his standpoint, it was difficult to say the word "rejection", and all she could do was to accompany him and support him.

Xiao Yi turned his head to look at her, his anger dissipated in an instant, and his brows widened.

The two clasped their fingers together, and after a while, Xiao Yi said, "Baiyue people have been jumping around a lot recently. I'll ask someone to find out what they want to do..." That sachet always made him feel a little bit. Faintly uneasy, "I still have to keep an eye on it."

Nangong Yue nodded in agreement.

The two walked leisurely through the forest of monuments, Xiao Yi listened to Nangongyue's evaluation of the inscriptions with a smile on his face, and occasionally added a sentence or two.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Nangong Yue chased him back, and she ran to meet Yuan Yuyi and the others.

Not long after, the Empress walked out of the Tibetan Sutra Pavilion with the Empress Dowager. Several girls then returned to the Empress Dowager, while Qiyi, who was not far away, kept looking in the direction of Nangong Yue, and flashed in her blue eyes. A strange light...
