Chapter 544: Finding Buddha Beads
The emperor issued an order not to let Concubine Xuan take a step out of Yongyan Hall, so she had to sit upright in the courtyard and recite scriptures and meditate in the direction of Xuande Hall, praying for the emperor to have good health and happiness.
While reciting the scriptures, Concubine Xuan unconsciously recalled the past he had been with the emperor.
The past is vivid and the past makes it difficult for the infatuated lover to calm down and pray for blessings. The hands unconsciously accelerated the strength of the rosary, but accidentally dispersed the Bodhi beads sent by the emperor all over the floor.
One hundred and eight Buddhist beads scattered around after spinning rapidly, like wild horses that broke away from reins. Some rolled into the grass, and some popped into the pond.
The stars are sparse in the night and the cold moonlight adds a lot of difficulty to finding Buddhist beads.
Concubine Xuan ordered everyone in the hall to look for Buddhist beads, and whoever found them would be rewarded with a silver ingot. After almost rummaging through the entire Yongyan Hall, there were still more than ten beads missing. So when the Crown Princess heard that the Concubine needed help, she joined the team looking for Buddhist beads to do her best.
Every time she found a Buddhist bead, it felt like a treasure for Concubine Xuan, but after a long time, she waited anxiously and impatiently.
The imperial Buddhist artifact Xuan must not be lost or damaged, especially when she chanted the scriptures with these strings of Buddhist beads to pray for the emperor's health. If the Buddhist beads cannot be found, it means that it is difficult for the nine-five masters to be healthy.
"A useless dog slave, I really have a bunch of idle people." Concubine Xuan shouted angrily and went back to her room to rest, leaving only a group of people crawling on the ground with torches to find treasures.
As soon as the prince entered Yongyan Hall, he saw several clusters of flames moving slowly on the ground. After a closer look, he saw a dark palace servant squatting on the ground.
In an instant, he thought that some rehearsal scene was staged in Yongyan Palace. After inquiring, he realized that everyone was looking for treasure for the imperial concubine.
Shen Yiyu couldn't help laughing. When he turned his head, he saw Landuo climbing up from the ground with his slightly raised belly. He ran over in two steps, "Who told you to come?"
"Crown Prince~ You don't take someone else when you go out to the palace to have fun~" Landuo lay beside Shen Yiyu's ear and started to show off his coquettishness.
"I'm asking you, why did you come to Yongyan Palace?" Shen Yiyu clearly arranged Lando to rest in Yongping Palace to maintain his fetus.
"Sister Meng, I took me here specially." Lando wanted to see the prince and decide again, but he did not know that the princess's affection could not be refused.
"Who is Sister Meng?" Shen Yiyu was very confused.
"Sister Crown Princess, I've been by my side all day, so I've taken care of me~" Lando was so scared that he ran away when he saw Dugu Xiaomeng. She thought she was coming to expose her privately in the palace.
"Why is she very attentive to you? To be honest, did she bully you for work?" Shen Yiyu didn't know what the medicine was sold in Dugu Xiaomeng's gourd.
"No, Sister Meng knew I was pregnant and even made a tonic soup for me to drink!" Landuo never expected that she would be accepted by the Crown Princess. After all, she was the daughter of a prominent family, and she was a small brothel woman. She had an unequal identity and was not respected.
"Then have you drunk?" Shen Yiyu was worried that Dugu Xiaomeng was caused by jealousy, so he wanted to protect the status of the Crown Princess and attacked the fetus in Lando's abdomen.
"I've drunk it, some tremella soup, sweet, why not drink it?" Landuo hugged the prince's arm and said intimately, "Sister Meng, look, the prince is back."
"What? I can't bear to see me and...Lando are as close as sisters? Are you afraid that I will not plot against her?" Dugu Xiaomeng hugged Lando's waist to show their intimacy.
"Be careful, don't hurt her." Shen Yiyu was surprised why the two women who were not dealing with in the prince's mansion could get along well after they came to Tianfu City.
"I have been taking care of her. If you don't believe me, please ask Lando." Dugu Xiaomeng looked aggrieved.
"Sister Meng is very careful with me. Prince Don't misunderstand her." Lando looked at Shen Yiyu affectionately.
"Be good, I understand!" Shen Yiyu also rubbed Lando's hair docilely.
"Okay, it's important to do serious things. Mother's wife will lose her temper again later." Dugu Xiaomeng didn't want to see her husband and concubine's affection, so she quickly urged her.
"Duoer, go back and rest, I'm afraid you will be tired." Shen Yiyu gently patted Landuo's cheek again.
"Hey, what does it mean? I really didn't force Lando to work, she did it on her own." Dugu Xiaomeng continued to clarify for herself.
"It was because I was bored by myself that I wanted to help Sister Meng, just as I could get some breath." Lando nodded confidently.
"Or, you two go back to Fang Qingqing and I first? Don't get in the way of finding beads?" Dugu Xiaomeng smiled slightly.
"Okay~" Shen Yiyu hugged Landuo's head and left without turning back. Dugu Xiaomeng was so angry that she jumped up, but she didn't dare to complain loudly, for fear that the palace people would be laughed at for being incompetent, and that she could not win the prince's love, and could not win the prince's heart.
Looking at the leaving man and woman, Dugu Xiaomeng felt bitter in her heart. She never thought that the prince was so cruel to her, especially after she helped the prince take care of her concubine, she didn't even hear a word of thanks, and she didn't end up being a little better after being questioned by her.
Whether she ignores Lando or makes a fuss about it, it is all family affairs in the mansion. Now in Tianfu City, she has to lower her attitude to please the prince. Getting along with Lando is her way of showing goodwill.
But Shen Yiyu didn't get any affection at all, and left Dugu Xiaomeng alone in the same place, taking Lan Duo Xiaoyao to go happily.
Dugu Xiaomeng pretended to work hard to find Buddhist beads, and occasionally glanced around, for fear that she would be made fun of by her servants.
"Look, what is that?"
"Where?"
"Wow~ so bright!"
"It seems like a lot of praying lanterns."
"I thought it was a fire dragon that appeared from a distance."
"Look, do you fly over from Xuande Hall?"
...
Dugu Xiaomeng unconsciously looked at the fingers of others and saw a fire dragon flying in the night. She remembered the scene when she first visited the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival. She released the first lantern prayer in her life.
The wish she made at that time was to marry her sweetheart. Dugu Xiaomeng would never forget the young and frivolous who had just started to fall in love for the rest of her life, but it was difficult for her to realize her original wish. Now it is difficult for her to know where the young man she wanted to marry was, let alone know each other.
She has done her best to protect that love, but after a unrequited love, she will never succeed. She has loved and moved closer to that person. Shouldn’t she be regretful?
Dugu Xiaomeng knew very well that her current identity should have long bowed and bid farewell to the past ten years, but it was difficult for her to let go and it was difficult to pull herself out of that painful unrequited love, like a fly trapped on a spider's web. The more she struggled, the tighter she was wrapped.
The Bodhisattva Bodhisattva and the Bodhi Son of the Buddha, the Buddha is born.
