Chapter 260
: Informed and Interested
"Concubine Zhi Chen is thinking about Concubine Hui. In addition to informing Zhi Qiu in detail about Concubine Hui's health, she also asked Zhi Qiu to send me a thick pile of Buddhist scriptures that she copied personally."
"This Buddhist scripture is for you, for the Long Live Lord, for the noble concubine, for the concubine, and the last one is for the concubine and the fourth elder brother. I pray for the fourth elder brother, but I am very aware of it.
The original impulse and mistake were wrong.”
After saying that, Concubine Xi actually asked Zhiqiu to bring out a stack of Buddhist scriptures and presented them to her. The Empress Dowager just browsed through them for a while. How could she not know that Concubine Xi was making peace with Guo Guiren?
If it is really just for Guo Guiren to take care of Concubine Hui, it is just to relieve Guo Guiren's ban, it is not important, it is just a matter of one sentence.
But the reason why Guo Guiren was punished was unusual. She was framed and harmed the harem maidens and the emperor's heirs, so she suffered such a downfall. Yu Lian and Si Age were the ones who suffered the consequences. Compared with Guo Guiren's compensation,
However, in the end, it was Yu Lian and Si Age who deserved more attention from her.
Not to mention Lord Long Live, I'm afraid I don't have to worry about who Guo Guiren is. Yu Yan is getting the holy family, and Lord Long Live will not spoil Yu Yan's mood with someone of no importance.
The Empress Dowager raised her eyes and glanced at Yu Lian inadvertently. Seeing that Yu Lian looked at her nose and heart, and had no intention of talking about this matter, she did not mention it and just said:
Deliberately fooling around.
Then she asked Concubine Xi about organizing the prayer ceremony for Buddha, and said no more questions to Concubine Hui and Guo Guiren. How could Concubine Xi not know what the empress meant, so she stopped talking and could only talk about the matter at hand in detail.
"Returning to the empress, I keep an eye on this leader every day as he goes about his errands. I don't dare to show any disrespect at all. Now the big Buddhist hall in the back hall has been decorated everywhere. I will stay here for seven days to watch the masters. During these seven days, the masters will be fed and clothed.
I also gave you repeated instructions on how to pay and where to stay."
"At the moment, I don't know if Abbot Puhui will be able to arrive. I have also made preparations with others. Nothing will go wrong. I will wait for the day after tomorrow to follow the rules of praying to the Buddha."
If the confinement period lasts longer, Yu Lian will really be suffocated to death. How dare she respond to the Empress Dowager's concern and explain a few words with a smile.
The Empress Dowager watched Yu Yuan busy at work and did not try to persuade anyone. When Yu Yuan came back to her, she smiled and pulled Yu Yuan to sit down next to her, sipping tea and sighing.
"But I haven't had your tea for a few days. I didn't think it was anything at all. Now that I have it, I feel like I miss it. Even Aunt Sumala is not as good as your craftsmanship."
"It's just that I lost weight faster, but there's nothing wrong with it. Don't worry, I'm still healthy. I'm a concubine now, and with the concerns of you and Long Live Lord, who dares to treat me badly in terms of food?
It was just the first few days when my fourth brother was born that I was very anxious."
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager also sighed. She couldn't help but glance at the fourth brother who was sleeping on the Arhat bed. Apart from sighing that this child was really not good at anything, she really didn't know how to explain the previous strangeness.
"The child was not doing well, so I couldn't eat or swallow, and couldn't sleep. I lost weight all of a sudden. Later, when the child was stable, I felt relieved. I took supplements every day. Now I am still a little fatter, but
The imperial doctor said that I have good health and it would be fine if I lost some weight."
After talking about it in detail for a while, the Empress Dowager felt that the excitement in the palace was a little noisy, so she just sent everyone back without having to accompany her to eat. However, seeing snow starting to fall outside, the Empress Dowager spoke up.
Ask Yu Lian and Fourth Brother to stay temporarily. It won't be too late to go back when the snow stops.
After the palace was cleared, Yu Lian worked diligently and hurriedly took over the work of La Gu Su Ma, and personally made tea for the empress and served it to her.
The place for praying and worshiping the Buddha is in the back hall of Cining Palace. The large Buddha hall is seven rooms wide and three rooms deep. The platform in front of the hall is equipped with incense burners and incense sticks. The interior of the hall is exquisitely decorated, with Buddhist niches, confessions, pagodas, Buddha statues, scriptures, and Dharma.
There are many objects, offerings and other furnishings.
"Long live the Lord always goes to you, why don't you take care of you? Yesterday, when he came to say hello, he even asked the Ai family. He said that you are fine with everything, but you are so depressed in the palace that he always wants to come out to see you.
Ai Jia, but Ai Jia looks at you and feels that everything is wrong, and I don’t know what the imperial doctor can say. Do you need to do the opposite month again?"
The Empress Dowager couldn't stop laughing, and she didn't bother to have tea. She lit the tip of her nose and smiled: "You girl still has such a powerful mouth. If the Ai family really wants to drive you away, why bother?"
I’ll save you one more time.”
"There were so many people in the palace before that the Ai family didn't bother to ask you in detail, but you didn't take good care of me during the confinement period. Why did you lose so much weight all of a sudden? Look at those who have had children in the palace, all of them were plump when they were in confinement.
"Look, you seem to be even thinner than before, which makes people feel distressed."
Normally, even if there are no Buddhist services, this place is often cleaned. The Empress Dowager and Empress often stay here when they want to hide. Even without Concubine Xi's instructions, nothing will go wrong if they just use it. The Empress Dowager
The Queen Mother was just changing the subject, not really worried.
After Yu Lian became pregnant with her fourth brother, she rarely served in front of the Empress Dowager. Now that she finally got the opportunity, she nodded in agreement, but the Empress Dowager did not mention asking her to stay.
, she also has to be shameless and respect her elders more.
Yu Lian gently stood next to the empress, still as close to her as before: "I dare not respond to your compliments. I am being served by my subordinates every day. It has been a long time since the empress has had my tea, and it has been a long time since I have been in person."
I've made tea, but I feel very unfamiliar when I first started doing it. I'm afraid you won't be satisfied and will drive me away soon."
"After all, it's good that you are fine. The Ai family has been thinking about you and the fourth elder brother's health before. However, the Ai family's health is not very good. When the weather gets cold, everything becomes uncomfortable, even if the earth dragon in the palace is burning up.
, it’s hard to see you now, now that I can see you, I finally feel at ease.”
"As for Guo Guiren whom Concubine Xi mentioned just now, you don't have to take it to heart. She made a mistake and she has to pay a price. Some mistakes can't be made up for by changing her attitude and repenting. She can still make up for it.
The Lord is extremely merciful to her. If you don't forgive her, the Ai family will definitely not let her out again."
Yu Lian didn't expect that the old lady would talk to her so straightforwardly, so she immediately smiled and stopped hiding her petty thoughts in front of her.
"It's good to have you make the decision. I was originally thinking about how to get Concubine Xi to give up the idea of helping Guo Guiren. I'm not a generous person. I don't want people who have harmed me to have it easy. I think I have to suppress it in the future.
If I don't want to live in peace with her, I won't feel comfortable."
