Adore Trick of Beauty

Nie Wushuang took a silk handkerchief and wiped his lips without saying anything. The rewards for the Laba Festival in the Harem have always been particular: if there are extra rewards, it means that the emperor and empress will be very happy that year. If there are only the same rewards, it will be just mediocre. Yun Chongyuan is pregnant with the dragon seed, so she naturally hopes to get more rewards from the emperor. If she cannot get it, then her child may not be fully favored by the emperor when he is born.

This is probably what the so-called "knowing the subtleties" means. That's why Yun Chongyuan was so disappointed, and Yajieyu, who had always been gentle, couldn't help but gloat.

After finishing the meal of Laba porridge, the concubines in the harem and the emperor and the empress said some more words before they dispersed. The emperor and empress were leaving the palace to attend the Buddha Bathing Conference in the city. Naturally, all the concubines could not accompany him. Except for the second concubine Jingshu, no other concubines went with him. Concubine De said she was sick and was on leave in the palace, and did not show up.

Nie Wushuang and Ya Jieyu returned to the "Yonghua Palace" together. Although the weather was cold, it was still sunny. Nie Wushuang supported Yajieyu and walked slowly on the road. If he met a palace official passing by, he would give him a reward. It was not tiring to walk and stop all the way.

Yajieyu looked at her cold and beautiful side face reflecting the color of the snow on both sides of the palace road. It was white and beautiful, even better than the beauty of the snow sculpture. She didn't even get tired of looking at it. She couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the emperor likes it." Sister Nie, Sister Nie is really beautiful."

Nie Wushuang turned around and smiled lightly: "What's the use of beauty? The most indispensable thing in this harem is beauty." After she said this, she was startled. This sentence sounded so familiar.

She sighed quietly, and suddenly thought of Xiao Fengqing, who had disappeared after the palace banquet. She had not seen him for many days, and wondered what his plan was for this expedition, and her eldest brother...

Nie Wushuang was wandering in the sky, and Yajieyu suddenly pulled her sleeves. Her face, which was slightly rounded due to pregnancy, said with sincerity: "Empress, I have thought about it. If the child is born, I will educate it for you... Empress..."

Nie Wushuang came back to his senses after hearing the words, glanced at her a few times, and said calmly: "Don't listen to Yang Zhi's nonsense. If the master doesn't worry, what should he worry about." She paused: "I will not want your child."

Ya Jieyu was speechless after hearing this. It took her a while to react, and she said anxiously: "Sister Nie, do you doubt my sincerity... I am really..."

Nie Wushuang held her hand and said coldly: "If I say no, I won't. Anyway, I will try my best to ask for the emperor's favor and let you raise your own children. Feng"

Yajieyu looked at her without knowing why, with doubts in her eyes.

Nie Wushuang looked at her young face, reached out and brushed her bulging belly, and his eyes gradually revealed a hidden sadness: "I don't know how to be a good mother."

Yajieyu wanted to say more, but from a distance she saw Eunuch Lin rushing this way with sweat all over his face. Nie Wushuang waited for him to come closer, and then asked with a gentle expression on his face: "What is Eunuch Lin so anxious about? Are you in such a hurry?"

Eunuch Lin wiped his sweat and panted: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty has a decree... Empress Bibi... will accompany the holy chariot and leave the palace to pay homage to the Buddha. Madam, hurry up and set off. The holy chariot is waiting at the gate of the palace."

Nie Wushuang was startled, a smile appeared on his bright red lips, he bowed deeply and said in a sweet voice: "My concubine, I obey."

After she finished speaking, she said to Eunuch Lin with a half-smile, "Eunuch Lin, please lead the way."

Naturally, Eunuch Lin couldn't see the strange look on her face. He wiped his sweat and muttered: "Oh, I'm such an old slave. I didn't even write it in the book. I told the emperor a long time ago that the empress should be written down." superior……"

While he was still mumbling, Nie Wushuang had already walked far away with the chamberlain who came to greet him. Eunuch Lin said "Ouch": "Wait a minute, old slave..."

…

When Nie Wushuang was carried by eight chamberlains to the palace gate, he saw Long Chu and Feng Chu standing there from a distance. She was slightly surprised that the emperor and empress had different intentions. Then she thought about it, the empress was taking the eldest prince with her. The eldest prince is young and may not be able to travel with the emperor.

After Long Chu was the Queen Mother's Hua An Chu. Nie Wushuang wanted to chase away the second concubine Jingshu. Eunuch Lin cleared his throat: "The Emperor has a decree, and Bibi is ordered to accompany the Holy Master."

Hearing this, Nie Wushuang looked at the bright yellow car roof exposed under the guard of many guards, and then walked over slowly.

Eunuch Lin supported Nie Wushuang and said with a careful smile as he walked: "My Majesty, look, this is a great favor from the Emperor. I can't live without my Majesty at this moment."

Nie Wushuang didn't squint his eyes, and Man Sheng responded: "Isn't it? I am flattered. In the future, I still need Eunuch Lin to give more advice in the palace, otherwise there is a saying that goes well, the higher you stand, the harder you fall. ruthless."

What she said was neither yin nor yang. Eunuch Lin didn't know why she felt uncomfortable, so he could only laugh a few times in embarrassment because of her bad luck.

Long Chu's heavy car curtain opened, and a familiar smell of ambergris hit his nostrils. Nie Wushuang felt suffocated, got in the car, and met Xiao Fengming's calm, watery eyes. It was clear that they had just seen each other, but now that they met, they felt something different in their hearts.

"Are you here?" Xiao Fengming stretched out his hand to help her. Nie Wushuang calmly avoided his hand, knelt down next to the throne, and bowed down: "I see you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Fengming noticed her alienation and didn't take it seriously. He said calmly: "It's time to drive!"

Long Chu slowly set off. This time his destination was Huayan Temple. The temple where the emperor participated in the Buddha Bathing Ceremony was different every year, in order to show the fairness of the emperor's favor. Huayan Temple is far away from the capital. As I walked by, I could hear the roar of people. Nie Wushuang looked through the transparent gauze curtains. The streets were crowded with people who wanted to see the holy face. The dragons rolled over and specially sprinkled yellow sand. The streets are smooth and slow.

Nie Wushuang watched for a while, and suddenly Xiao Fengming's Shen Yue voice came to his ears: "Are you going to face me like this in the future?"\u003c/p

\u003e

Since that time, he has never summoned her, and she has never entered the Imperial Study Room or the Manna Hall. It was as if a wall had been erected again between the two of them. It was visible, but they could no longer take that step.

Nie Wushuang looked away, looked directly into his calm eyes, and suddenly smiled: "I don't dare."

"Come here." He held out his hand to her. Nie Wushuang looked at his clean hand and slowly held it. The two held each other's hands, the warmth was still there, but the feeling was already in heaven and earth.

…

At noon, Huayan Temple arrived. There was a sea of ​​people in front of the temple. Nie Wushuang followed Xiao Fengming down the Dragon Boat Festival. The abbot of Huayan Temple and the monks had already come to greet him. The common people who had been blocked by many imperial guards finally saw the beauty of the sky, and they all knelt down and shouted long live.

The roar of the mountain and the tsunami of "Long Live" shook the sky. Standing behind Xiao Fengming, Nie Wushuang suddenly felt a sharp ice-like gaze from the crowd shining at her. When she wanted to pay attention, she could no longer see it. The feeling was so familiar that it made the hair on her back stand on end. She felt a chill in her heart and couldn't help but lean forward. Xiao Fengming in front of him seemed to sense her fear, thinking that she was afraid of appearing in front of everyone. He turned around and held her hand, and was slowly led by the abbot to the temple.

Nie Wushuang couldn't break free. Fortunately, the queen had helped Empress Dowager Gao to walk in front. Otherwise, it would have been inappropriate for her to walk beside the emperor today. When the people saw the emperor holding a stunning beauty, their eyes widened and they wished they could see through her appearance. Someone recognized her as Nie Wushuang and couldn't suppress their excitement, so they explained to the people around her. Immediately, rumors spread that Nie Shi Wushuang was favored by the emperor, and even when he was bathing in the Buddha, the emperor could not bear to let her leave.

Since the emperor and his entourage had already driven away the rest of the Huayan Temple, the temple was heavily guarded, with posts every ten steps, and the security was tight. Seeing this battle, Nie Wushuang laughed to himself that he was too worried: What dangers could he be afraid of around the emperor?

Empress Dowager Gao had always believed in Buddhism and had an incense connection with the temples around the capital. Therefore, she was particularly familiar with the abbots of the temples. She had already brought the queen and the eldest prince there to listen to the eminent monks' lectures on Buddhist scriptures and pray for blessings. Nie Wushuang followed Xiao Fengming and could not leave without his will.

She did not believe deeply in Buddhism. After listening to the Buddhist allusions from eminent monks with the emperor for a while, she fell into a trance. Seeing that she was distracted, the eminent monk of Huayan Temple smiled and said, "I am afraid that the young monk's teachings are not good. If you don't invite another eminent monk to preach the Dharma, the empress may benefit more."

Nie Wushuang saw that his distraction was broken, but he did not panic. He smiled at Xiao Fengming and said: "I am a dull person, and I am afraid that I have failed the Master's good intentions. Please allow me to step back and face the wall to think about the past."

Xiao Fengming didn't seem to care about her distraction, and smiled and said to the eminent monk: "I remember that last year it was eminent monk Yuanzhen who lectured me. Why do you want to change to another one this year?"

Master Yuan Zhen clasped his hands together, and his words were full of respect: "It is true that this eminent monk has a true heart towards the Buddha at a young age. Compared with him, the young monk is nothing like clouds and mud."

"Who is it?" Xiao Fengming asked.

Master Yuan Zhen smiled but did not answer, and asked the young monk outside the preaching room to go and invite someone. After a cup of tea, a clear voice sounded outside the preaching room: "The young monk Qingyuan pays homage to senior brother Yuan Zhen."

Nie Wushuang frowned slightly when he heard this: How could it be him?

Xiao Fengming was also a little surprised: "Why did Master Qingyuan come to Huayan Temple?"
